In my dream of returning to the Tang Dynasty, I snatched Wu Zetian from my lap.

In a single encounter, Yuan Tong led his men forward and swarmed forward, killing a tiger with a spear.

The remaining six were all surrounded, armed with knives and spears, shouting and fighting all the while, creating utter chaos.

But the struggle of a cornered beast has always been the most ferocious.

"roar!"

The tiger roared and, in its dying struggle, bit the arm of one of its guards.

The guards were dragged along, screaming in agony.

Surrounded companions rushed forward and successfully rescued them, but the life-or-death struggle continued. Even with an ambush and a large number of people, many were still injured in the face of such a bloodthirsty counterattack from a wild tiger.

If the trap hadn't already eliminated most of the tigers, and thirty of them had attacked together, the two hundred guards might have suffered heavy casualties, or even been able to break through the encirclement.

Unless there are several generals like Lü Bu in charge.

From Li Yuanchang's perspective, it was utter chaos. Dozens of people were surrounding each tiger, chasing and blocking it.

The tigress was relatively small and not very strong in combat; she had already been hunted down to her last gasp.

However, two male tigers, enormous in size, like small mountains, broke free from the encirclement several times and injured at least ten of the guards.

Even the experienced Yuan Tong was sent flying more than ten meters.

Li Yuanchang, his legs wedged in the tree branches, took a bow and arrow from his subordinate. The spearhead of the armor-piercing arrow gleamed with a cold light, exuding a deadly threat.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Li Yuanchang exerted all his strength, drawing the bow to its fullest extent, almost to the point of bursting.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

He tried to lock onto the nearest male tiger, but it kept running around and pouncing, making it difficult to pinpoint its vital organs.

Li Yuanchang could only remain in the status quo and wait and wait.

Fine beads of sweat trickled down his forehead. Maintaining this posture was difficult, even more tiring than holding Situ Lan intimately the whole time. It was a huge test of his physical strength and arm strength.

At that moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Li Yuanchang's mind: modifying bows and arrows, which could greatly improve the combat effectiveness of his personal guards.

"roar!!"

At this moment, the tiger let out a devastating roar from its throat, its sharp fangs covered in blood. It had been slashed in the face by Yuan Tong again, and it went completely berserk, charging forward madly.

It was directly in the direction of Li Yuanchang.

Li Yuanchang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he roared inwardly, "Now is the time!!"

"what!"

He roared and used his last bit of explosive power to pull it an inch further.

Huff!

The armor-piercing arrow emitted a sonic boom and flew away like a rainbow piercing the sun.

At that moment, the guards who were besieging Xiong Hu were still tense, and some of them were shouting to run.

next second.

puff! !

The armor-piercing arrow pierced the tiger's eye; its terrifying force and sharp arrowhead went straight through the back of its head, drawing out a large cloud of blood mist.

boom!

The male tiger collapsed to the ground, its heavy body slamming into the mud. A low, mournful wail escaped its throat as it convulsed, trying to stand but failing, and gradually lost its vital signs.

Yuan Tong and nearly thirty others stared in disbelief at the scene.

Two hundred paces away, an arrow killed a tiger. This was not the first time the King of Han had shot and killed a tiger. When the news returned to Chang'an, it would surely shock the entire court!

At this moment, Li Yuanchang's arrow was already aimed at the second male tiger. This was a blue-eyed male tiger with amazing fighting power. It broke the guard's weapon with a single slap and was fleeing into the dense forest to the west.

Time was running out for Li Yuanchang. Unable to target the tiger's weak points such as its face and throat, he could only focus on its hind legs.

With its leg injured, the tiger couldn't run far.

Tonight, not a single tiger can escape!

Tigers possess a certain level of intelligence and are capable of seeking revenge. If they are released, many people may suffer.

Crack!

The bowed body trembled once more, making the guards responsible for close protection by the side feel their scalps tingle. His Highness's arm strength was astonishing!

Just as Li Yuanchang was about to let go, suddenly, a figure darted out from under a tree in the distance, its body stretched out like a crescent moon, holding a knife in both hands.

"Give me back my mother's life!!"

puff! !

The fleeing tiger was stabbed in the skull, let out a painful roar, and with a flick of its tail, swept the man away.

"roar!"

It roared in pain and charged around wildly, its body seemingly out of control.

The pursuing guards swarmed forward, dozens of bamboo spears and long knives aimed at its throat, instantly killing it and pinning it to the ground.

As the situation calmed down, Li Yuanchang gradually lowered his bow and arrow, a smile appearing on his lips.

The saying "Many rats live in high places, while unicorns lie hidden in the countryside" is truly accurate.

This Li Yi was simply the biggest unexpected gain of this trip.

He possesses exceptional courage, perseverance, character, and ability; he is definitely a promising talent!

Fifteen minutes later, the battle was completely over.

The entire depression was filled with footsteps, screams, and howls, but the roar of the tiger was nowhere to be heard.

Li Yuanchang climbed down from the tree and rushed to the trap immediately.

Blood was everywhere, and tiger carcasses were piled up.

Twenty-one tigers, stacked like a human pyramid, were impaled. Each tiger weighed several hundred pounds or more. Though dead, their tigerish might remained, a truly terrifying sight!

"How many people must it have eaten?" one of the guards exclaimed, having never seen such a huge and savage tiger.

Those that have eaten humans and those that are domesticated have different fur colors, and their pupils are even more captivating.

Many guards were terrified when they saw it, even though it was a corpse.

Only Li Yuanchang remained extremely calm, even joking, "This is going to be very profitable. A tiger skin is priceless, and if you include the bones and other parts, it's like a windfall. It'll solve my urgent problem."

"Go, immediately take a headcount and rescue the wounded."

"Gather all the tiger carcasses together, light torches, and prevent other wild beasts from being attracted by the smell of blood."

"yes!!"

Immediately afterwards, bonfires lit up one after another deep in the mountains and forests, illuminating the night as if it were daytime.

Previously, out of fear, they had driven away the tiger, so they had been groping in the dark the whole time, with only a few scattered moonlight providing some illumination.

The chant of "One, two, one" rang out continuously as the Prince's guards struggled to drag one tiger carcass after another. They were too heavy; an adult male tiger might weigh over 500 pounds, which was terrifying.

Although this thing still exists in the 21st century, there seem to be far fewer males in the 21st century.

In the end, a total of thirty-one tigers were killed after the cleanup!

No one in the guard died, but twenty-one people suffered bite and impact injuries of varying degrees.

After the ambush, everyone was exhausted, and Li Yuanchang ordered them to rest first.

Soon after, it was dawn.

The wounded guards continued to rest, but the uninjured ones began to work. There were too many enormous creatures to bring back to Liangzhou, so they had to be dealt with on the spot.

Furthermore, the tiger extermination campaign is not yet completely over!
