The crackling sounds of bones being broken and the grunting sounds of sucking blood filled Zhou Baopu's ears with a mixture of sounds that were difficult to hear. He wanted to cover his ears, but was afraid of losing his judgment on the tiger's movements. Zhou Baopu could only bite. Teeth, covering his mouth with his hand, silently endured the audible torture.
While Zhou Baopu was suffering from this mental stimulation, he prayed secretly in his heart, hoping that the tiger would be able to return to the mountains after devouring the wild boar. Under the circumstances, he is likely to become the Tigers' next target.
Zhou Baopu can almost tell which part of the wild boar the tiger is chewing. When the limbs are eaten, when the blood is drank, and when the head is chewed off, Zhou Baopu is almost in control of it. However, it is precisely because he is too careful with the wild boar. It was familiar, so Zhou Baopu could almost restore the tragic and bloody scene not far away in his mind just by using the voice.
No matter what happened, no matter how tenacious he was, Zhou Baopu was still just a child after all, and he couldn't suppress the nauseating feeling rising from the bottom of his stomach. Although he didn't eat anything in the morning, the acid water in Zhou Baopu's stomach kept rising.
Zhou Baopu could feel that the gurgling turbid air was about to break through his throat. How much he wanted to burp!
However, the reality is cruel. Let alone a sour belch, even if he makes a slight noise, Zhou Baopu knows that he is likely to become the prey of a tiger.
Zhou Baopu had to be in awe of ferocious tigers. Even among the young hunters in Zhoujia Village, there were very few who could beat ferocious tigers.
Under normal circumstances, for wild beasts like tigers that cannot be fought head-on, most hunters use the method of finding out their habits and then setting traps based on their own speculations.
"Ugh!"
Finally unable to bear it any longer, Zhou Baopu burped, and then immediately covered his mouth in horror.
However, even though this sound was extremely subtle, for the keen tiger, it was enough to arouse the tiger's vigilance.
"Ouch!"
The tiger became angry and issued a threatening warning. Zhou Baopu could feel that the tiger was rushing towards him step by step.
Zhou Baopu was so scared that he didn't dare to make any more noise. If it weren't for the fear of being discovered by the tiger and swallowed in one bite, Zhou Baopu would have had the urge to knock himself unconscious.
The tiger stretched out its paws, with a cunning light in its eyes. It looked at the bush where Zhou Baopu was hiding, and then walked towards the bush next to Zhou Baopu.
Beasts like tigers, due to their long-term battle of wits and courage with the hunters in the mountains, are probably no worse than ordinary people in terms of intelligence.
For example, the tiger in front of you has actually determined Zhou Baopu's approximate location through the noise he made, but it deliberately made noises in the east and west to give Zhou Baopu the illusion that Zhou Baopu has not been discovered yet, in order to paralyze Zhou Baopu's nerves. , and then kill with one strike, leaving Zhou Baopu no chance to resist.
For any enemy that invades it, the tiger will definitely be 200% alert, no matter how unworthy of mentioning Zhou Baopu's threat to it is in its eyes!
Zhou Baopu could feel that the tiger was moving towards his body. No matter how smart he was, he probably would not have thought that this was just a trap for the beast.
At this moment, Zhou Baopu couldn't help but work up his spirits. Facing the most powerful enemy in his life, Zhou Baopu did not dare to relax at all!
Relaxing your vigilance and giving the enemy an opportunity often results in committing suicide in front of a powerful enemy. Zhou Baopu understands this truth deeply.
He loosened his right hand and discarded the bow and arrow. That was because Zhou Baopu knew that at such a close distance, the bow and arrow was no longer the most suitable tool, because the tiger would not give him time and watch him aim at it. , and then asked him to shoot it.
Slowly extending his right hand to his back, trying not to make any more noise, Zhou Baopu's hand finally touched the handle of the pitch black sickle.
The moment he touched the handle of the knife, for some reason, Zhou Baopu suddenly felt a sense of peace of mind. He had a sickle in his hand, and he felt domineering.
Slowly pulling out the sickle, Zhou Baopu seemed to be able to feel that the sickle in his hand was also shaking with excitement for the upcoming battle.
The sickle has no life, so it won't be excited. I'm afraid Zhou Baopu still doesn't understand that the excitement he feels about the sickle is actually just his own excitement. Even the cold weapon like the sickle really has some kind of excitement. The emotions are also given to it by Zhou Baopu, a living person.
The tiger stopped and stood about ten feet away from Zhou Baopu's hiding place, sniffing something with its nose.
Zhou Baopu also sensed it at this moment. His sensitive ears could no longer hear the tiger's roar, which meant that the tiger outside the bush was ready to strike and was about to deliver a fatal blow.
Such preparation of momentum is probably the real intelligence of the Tigers.
Until now, Zhou Baopu was still rejoicing in his heart, mistakenly thinking that the tiger had really made a mistake in judgment.
Zhou Baopu didn't know that although the tiger was not facing him head-on, he had already fallen into the tiger's attack range, and all the situations set up by the tiger were just to avoid attracting his attention.
In other words, all the layouts set up by this tiger were to attract Zhou Baopu's attention, but they were just to mislead Zhou Baopu's judgment, that's why he went to such trouble to set up this trap.
Zhou Baopu clenched the curved sickle in his hand instantly. He knew that if he succeeds, he will survive, and he will be able to harvest the body of a tiger as a reward. If he fails, he will die, and his bones and flesh will become the tiger's food. In front of such a ferocious beast, Once killed, not even half of the scum will be left.
"Whoosh!"
The tiger finally gathered momentum and exploded with all its strength. A strong wind blew by. Zhou Baopu was horrified to find that the tiger was leaping straight towards him, barely giving him any chance to dodge. The opportunity, almost as soon as it lands, can catch him to pieces.
Out of common sense, Zhou Baopu certainly knows how strong the tiger's grip can be. I'm afraid that even if he is made of copper and iron, he will still have to shed a layer of skin, not to mention that he is still just a soft person. of flesh and blood.
