Surviving in the Wilderness: I Lived for 50 Years

An unusual experience made me realize the value of life, but by the time I looked back, I was already in my twilight years.

It seemed long, yet it passed in a flash.

Bloodthirsty new cr...

Chapter 248...

Everyone here, including myself, is an excellent tree climber. Life in the jungle has made these natives' limbs exceptionally strong.

Their method of climbing trees is also quite unique; it's not the common way of hugging a tree and then using both hands and feet to climb it.

Their posture was similar to Top's when he climbed the tree, holding the tree loosely with both hands and leaning their body weight slightly backward.

Then bend your legs and push off the tree trunk, using the reaction force to stay on the trunk, and use your hands and feet to climb up at the same time.

This tree-climbing technique mainly requires a high level of upper arm strength, but its advantages are also obvious: they can climb trees at least half as fast as I can.

Compared to Top, these natives are just as fast, it seems the professionals are more impressive.

At this moment, about twenty of us have already reached the top of the tree. Once we're up there, no matter how much the wild takin rages, we won't be afraid of it.

However, the situation of the two saber-toothed tigers below became somewhat unfavorable.

Now all the wildebeest were staring menacingly at the two saber-toothed tigers, snorting short breaths and kicking up dirt with their hind hooves.

I don't know if the wildebeest have feelings for their companions, but the current situation is very clear: there is obviously no possibility of them shaking hands and making peace.

I had only ever seen these mentally challenged animals act crazy before, but I had never actually seen them deal with other predators. Today, I'll just treat it as watching a live episode of Animal World.

Those two saber-toothed tigers were truly stubborn; they were probably young people who had just entered society and were unaware of its dangers.

They thought their canines could intimidate all animals, but they didn't know there's a saying: the foolish fear the fierce, the fierce fear the reckless, and the reckless fear the suicidal.

These wildebeest were clearly reckless creatures. If the two saber-toothed tigers had abandoned their prey and escaped in time, they might have had a chance, but now it was too late.

There are no "what ifs"!

The takin has never been so disregarded by any animal. Even the cunning sand beasts give them some respect, and can only outsmart them, not confront them head-on.

The saying "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger" couldn't be more fitting for these two. However, their roles seem to have reversed now; these two saber-toothed tigers are more like calves, while the wildebeest are the true tigers!

Seeing that the saber-toothed tigers were ungrateful, the wildebeest stopped indulging them. Immediately, more than a dozen wildebeest completely blocked the two saber-toothed tigers' escape route.

Unless they grow wings and can fly away, even if the King of Heaven himself pleads for them today, it won't make a difference!

One of the giant wildebeest, estimated to weigh one and a half tons, slowly emerged from the herd, its horns, which were over one and a half meters long, broken in half.

A hideous scar, like a giant earthworm, stretched across its broad face, and the scars on its body were as dense as the stripes of a tiger.

The sight of this giant wildebeest gave me the creeps; a kind of murderous aura, not typical of herbivores, was vividly displayed on its body.

It was clearly the leader of the takin herd, and someone with terrifying combat experience who had dealt with many ferocious beasts.

As soon as the great antelope appeared, all the restless antelope quieted down. At this moment, all eyes were on their leader and the two saber-toothed tigers.

The takin with the broken horn let out a heavy sigh, and without any warning, it pushed off the ground with its hind legs, propelling its nearly one-and-a-half-ton massive body like a bullet towards the two saber-toothed tigers.

Its enormous size, coupled with its ferocious speed, created a sense of oppression that made me feel uneasy even from the treetop.

The two saber-toothed tigers on the ground were not pushovers either. They were carnivores, known for their speed. Although the great antelope's attack was fierce, it would only work if it could actually touch them.

Almost simultaneously, the two saber-toothed tigers leaped to opposite sides, and the immense force of the great antelope pierced directly through the already dead antelope carcass on the ground.

When its first attack failed, the takin trampled the corpse of its companion on the ground with its hooves and slowly pulled its horn out of the blood-soaked takin's body, like drawing a sword.

The wildebeest showed no panic during the attack, handling everything methodically as if it were under complete control.

Seeing that their escape route had been cut off, the two saber-toothed tigers immediately became fierce, staring at their prey, which was much larger than themselves, from the left and right.

The saber-toothed tiger on the left was the first to attack. Its hind limbs were very powerful, and it could leap at least seven or eight meters.

At this moment, the saber-toothed tiger was only about fifteen meters away from the wildebeest. With two consecutive leaps, it used its sharp claws to grab the wildebeest's back and climb up.

The whole process was so fast that I didn't even have time to react. I just felt something flash in front of me and then it was on the back of the wildebeest.

Having experienced dozens of battles, large and small, the Great Horned Wildebeest naturally knew its predicament. Now, if it were to be pierced by the saber-toothed tiger's fangs, which were like daggers, it would be disastrous.

There are only two paths waiting for me: one is a dead end, and the other is also a dead end, the only difference being whether I die sooner or later.

The wildebeest was also very experienced in combat. Just as the saber-toothed tiger climbed onto its body, the wildebeest began to back up suddenly, as if it were using the accelerator as a brake.

The saber-toothed tiger was naturally a bit confused because it couldn't see what was behind it, but it still held firmly to the skin of the wildebeest and showed no intention of letting go.

The saber-toothed tiger's expression quickly changed. It felt a sharp pain in its back as the wildebeest slammed it against a tree trunk as thick as a bowl with its massive body.

At that moment, the saber-toothed tiger felt a momentary blackout. Its body was clearly badly injured, just as the takin was about to deliver the final blow.

The saber-toothed tiger had already released its grip on the wildebeest. But before the saber-toothed tiger could land, a flying hind hoof slammed into its face.

This 1.5-ton takin has terrifying explosive power in its hind legs, instantly knocking one of the saber-toothed tiger's tusks away by the root.

The saber-toothed tiger, whose canine tooth had been suddenly and forcefully knocked out, let out a sharp roar. Blood gushed from its mouth along the gums where the broken tooth had been knocked out, a truly horrifying sight.
