Chapter 217 This evil tiger is not ordinary smart (please subscribe)

Everyone's expression was solemn, knowing that the tiger they were about to face was extremely ferocious.

It's not that easy to deal with it.

However, the more difficult it is to deal with, the more we must get rid of it.

Otherwise, more people would be attacked.

He glanced at everyone and said, "No matter what, we can't take it lightly."

"This tiger is more dangerous than we thought, but we have to find it and kill it."

"Otherwise, more people will be killed by it. It has already tasted humans, so it won't stop."

Everyone nodded, tightened their shotguns, and readjusted their states.

The hounds seemed to feel the tense atmosphere as well. They let out low whimpers in their throats and followed Xu Ye closely.

The goshawk circled in the sky, looking for the evil tiger.

They continued to move forward, taking every step carefully, their eyes always paying attention to the movements around them.

There was an oppressive atmosphere in the forest, as if a pair of eyes were watching them in the dark.

Suddenly, a goshawk swooped down quickly and landed on a big tree not far ahead, making urgent calls.

Xu Ye's heart tightened, he knew that Goshawk had discovered another important clue.

The crowd quickly dispersed and fanned out towards the direction of the goshawk. As the distance shortened, they heard the sound of gurgling water, and a clear stream appeared before their eyes.

The muddy ground beside the stream was covered with messy footprints, including those of wild boars, black bears, and some huge plum-shaped footprints, which were obviously tiger footprints.

"It seems we have found the right place." Xu Ye whispered. He squatted down and carefully observed the direction and depth of the footprints, trying to determine the tiger's direction and approximate weight.

The footprints extended from the stream to a dense bush, where the branches and leaves were intertwined, forming a natural barrier.

"Be careful, the tiger may be hiding in there." Xu Ye reminded everyone and gestured to the hound behind him.

The hounds understood the hint and approached the bushes silently, sniffing the ground, trying to catch the scent of the tiger.

Just then, there was a slight noise in the bushes, as if something was moving.

Everyone immediately raised their shotguns, aimed at the bushes, and kept their fingers on the trigger. Their heartbeats could be clearly heard in the silent forest.

Suddenly, a frightened hare jumped out from the bushes. Everyone's tense nerves relaxed a little, but soon became tense again because they knew that the appearance of the hare was probably because it had frightened the tiger.

Xu Ye took a deep breath. He knew that the real battle was about to begin.

He gestured to the people around him, asking them to remain quiet and slowly approach the bushes.

The hounds also stopped and lay on the ground, their eyes fixed on the bushes, ready to pounce at any time.

When they were only a few steps away from the bushes, a low and intimidating roar came from inside, rustling the leaves around them.

Everyone's heart sank suddenly, they knew that the vicious tiger was right before their eyes.

Xu Ye's palms were slightly sweaty, but he remained calm. He waved his hand gently, signaling everyone to disperse and form a circle. The hounds lay on the ground, their ears erect, and low grunts came out of their throats, as if ready to pounce on their target at any time.

The roar in the bushes was getting closer and closer, accompanied by heavy footsteps, as if every step was stepping on everyone's heart.

Xu Ye held his breath, stared at the swaying branches, and aimed the shotgun in his hand steadily forward.

"Hold steady!" Xu Ye whispered.

If you shoot in advance, it will alarm the tiger and make it run away.

By then, he will be wary of humans, and it will be difficult to hunt him.

So at this time, you must not be anxious.

Suddenly, the bushes trembled violently, and a huge tiger leaped out of the shadows, its golden fur flashing dangerously in the sunlight.

Its eyes were like two burning flames, staring at the hunters in front of it, its fangs exposed, and a low roar coming from its throat.

Xu Ye's finger rested lightly on the trigger, his heartbeat roaring in his ears.

He knew he only had one chance.

If the shot misses or fails to kill, the tiger's counterattack will be fatal.

Suddenly, the tiger's body sank slightly and the muscles of its hind legs tensed, like an arrow about to leave the string.

Xu Ye's pupils suddenly contracted, and he knew that the tiger was about to attack.

"Now!" Xu Ye growled in his heart and pulled the trigger hard.

"boom!"

Gunshots rang out in the forest, and bullets whizzed towards the tiger.

However, just as the bullet was about to hit the target, the tiger's body suddenly twisted and avoided the fatal blow with incredible speed.

The bullet grazed its shoulder, leaving a trail of blood, but did not cause fatal damage.

Others also fired, but no one hit the tiger.

It was so fast that it flashed by without giving anyone else a chance.

Xu Ye pushed the second bullet into the chamber and raised the gun again.

The others also quickly pulled the bolt, preparing for a second shot.

"Roar--!"

The tiger let out an angry roar and pounced on the nearest hunter like a cannonball.

"Be careful!" Xu Ye shouted, but it was too late.

Before the hunter could react, the tiger pounced on him and knocked him to the ground.

The sharp claws instantly tore his shoulder, and blood gushed out.

The hunter let out a scream and the shotgun in his hand fell to the ground.

"Quick! Save people!" Xu Ye roared, quickly reloaded bullets, and aimed at the tiger again.

Others also opened fire, and bullets rained down on the tiger.

The tiger's body rushed left and right in the rain of bullets. Although it was hit several times, it remained as ferocious as ever.

It leaped suddenly, jumped out of the encirclement, and fled into the depths of the forest.

"Chase!" Xu Ye gave the order without hesitation.

He knew that if he allowed the injured tiger to escape into the mountains, the consequences would be disastrous.

The hunting dogs rushed out like arrows, following the tiger's trail closely.

Xu Ye and everyone else followed closely behind, not daring to hesitate for even a moment.

There was no sign of retreat on their faces, only firm determination.

The trees in the mountains and forests are becoming more and more dense, and the road under our feet is becoming more and more difficult to walk on.

The tiger's traces appeared and disappeared from time to time, and the blood left an intermittent red line among the fallen leaves.

Xu Ye knew that the tiger had been seriously injured, but it was still struggling tenaciously.

"It can't run far." Xu Ye said in a low voice, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

At this moment, a low roar came from the front, followed by the barking of hounds. Xu Ye's heart tightened and he quickened his pace. When they arrived, they found that the tiger had been forced to the edge of a cliff.

The tiger's hind legs had been bitten by the hunting dogs, and the blood had dyed its fur red.

Its body trembled slightly, but its eyes were still fierce as it stared at the approaching hunters.

"It's over." Xu Ye said in a low voice and slowly raised his shotgun.

The tiger seemed to realize its fate and let out a low roar, as if bidding its final farewell to the world.

Xu Ye's finger gently pulled the trigger, and the sound of the gunshot echoed in the valley.

"boom!"

The tiger's body trembled violently, and then slowly fell to the ground.

Its eyes were still open, but the light in them had completely faded.

Xu Ye let out a long sigh and slowly put down his shotgun.

However, there was no joy in his heart, only a heavy sense of relief.

"There is another one, we still need to find the other one." Someone said.

"What should we do with the injured brother? His shoulder is scratched and we don't know if his bones are broken." Someone said worriedly.

"No, let's go back quickly." Xu Ye's face changed, and he turned around and rushed back the way he came.

"Eagle Wu, Eagle Yong, remember what the tiger looks like." Xu Ye did not forget to say to the goshawks.

After all, they had never seen a tiger before, and they didn't understand Xu Ye's orders.

They ran back anxiously, the wind in the mountains whistling in their ears, as if it was also worried about its injured companion.

The dead branches and leaves under his feet crunched, and Xu Ye's mind kept appearing the painful looks of his injured companions, and his steps became more and more hurried.

When they finally arrived at the site of the initial attack, they saw the injured hunter lying on the ground, his face as pale as paper.

Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead, and blood from his shoulder was still oozing out, dyeing the surrounding land dark red.

Among the people who were accompanying him, there was one who had some knowledge of medicine. He rushed forward to check the injuries and found some simple herbs and gauze from the bag he carried with him.

Carefully cleaning his wound, he applied herbal juice on it. The hunter's body trembled violently in pain, but he forced himself not to make any sound.

Xu Ye squatted down and comforted his injured companion, but there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

He knew very well that it would be extremely difficult to move with the wounded in this dangerous forest, and the other tiger was hiding somewhere unknown, so danger could come again at any time.

"What should we do now? Anan must be sent down the mountain for treatment, otherwise his hand may be disabled and he won't be able to use it anymore." Someone said with a frown.

At this time, if an arm is disabled, the impact will be huge.

His life and that of his family will be directly affected, and his family may even go hungry.

Xu Ye pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go down the mountain first. We have to make sure Anan's injury can be cured."

"But the other tiger is still on the mountain. What if it hurts someone again if we leave?" someone said with a worried look on his face.

"Select four people to escort Anan down the mountain, and the others will stay in the mountains with me to look for the remaining tiger." Xu Ye made a quick decision.

Everyone nodded and accepted Xu Ye's suggestion, and began to divide the work. Those who stayed behind held their shotguns tightly with determined eyes.

The people escorting the injured carefully lifted the stretcher and slowly walked down the mountain.

The mountain road was rugged and every step was difficult, and the stretcher was often hit by tree branches.

The injured Anan's face became increasingly uglier due to the pain, but he always endured it and did not make a sound.

The forest was eerily quiet, with the occasional calls of unknown birds adding to the tension.

Suddenly, a squirrel ran across the tree, causing the branches to shake, and everyone was instantly on edge.

After confirming it was safe, we continued on our way, with everyone's back soaked with sweat.

Xu Ye and his team returned to the tiger's location, preparing to use the tiger to set a trap.

When two tigers act together, they are most likely one male and one female.

So, another tiger should come looking for us.

When they returned to the edge of the cliff, they found something had happened.

"Where is the tiger?" a hunter exclaimed.

The bloodstains on the ground were still there, but the tiger was gone.

Xu Ye walked over quickly, knowing that it must be another tiger that appeared.

"That tiger actually dragged its companion away?"

"It definitely can't run far. It's dragging a tiger weighing four or five hundred kilograms. It definitely can't run far." Someone said excitedly.

As he said this, he wanted to let his hunting dog track.

"It wasn't dragged away. The tiger was pushed off the cliff." Xu Ye said with a frown.

Because he saw traces that were moving towards the cliff.

"No way?" someone said in surprise.

"That's right. This is outrageous. In order to prevent us from getting the prey, he pushed his companion off the cliff?"

"Look at the traces for yourselves." Xu Ye pointed to the traces on the ground and walked towards the edge of the cliff.

Everyone looked in the direction Xu Ye pointed, and indeed found an obvious drag mark on the ground, with blood and claw marks mixed together, extending to the edge of the cliff.

Xu Ye walked carefully to the edge of the cliff and leaned his head to look down.

Below the cliff is a dense forest, through which you can vaguely see some broken branches and scattered leaves.

Apparently, the tiger's body was pushed off the cliff and fell into the woods.

"This... this is too cruel, right?" someone couldn't help but whisper, with disbelief in his tone.

Xu Ye frowned and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the other tiger is more cunning and ferocious than we thought. It knows that we will not give up easily, so it simply pushed the body of its companion off the cliff, preventing us from getting the prey."

The tiger's intelligence exceeded Xu Ye's expectations, which made him very worried.

If it is not hunted, it will definitely retaliate and kill more people later.

"So what should we do now? Should we continue chasing?" someone asked with a hint of hesitation in his tone.

Without the tiger's body, they lost the opportunity to set a trap for another one.

Xu Ye was silent for a moment, then said firmly: "Chase! We must chase! This tiger has gone completely crazy, it will not stop attacking humans."

"If we give up now, it will most likely attack the village again, causing more casualties."

"We can't go down the mountain without killing it."

The other hunters also nodded, agreeing with Xu Ye's words.

In addition, if they went down the mountain, the tiger could follow them and attack them at any time.

In order to survive, they and the vicious tiger are fighting to the death, and they have no other choice.

Xu Ye released his goshawks, hoping that they could find the tiger.
