Chapter 218 The Quagmire of Despair

While running wildly, every movement of the saber-toothed tiger was constantly tearing its wounds. It was now covered in blood, and even the snow it ran on was stained with the shocking blood color.

At this moment, the centaurs slowed down their bow and arrow movements a little, but it was not because they were merciful and prepared to give the saber-toothed tiger a chance to live.

It's because the number of arrows they carry is relatively limited. Compared to shooting them all at once, they must make a good plan so that the remaining arrows can play the greatest value.

Putting aside other aspects, at least when it comes to hunting, the Centaurs are still very smart.

The biggest advantage of the saber-toothed tiger is its powerful physical fitness, which gives it amazing bite force and destructive power.

When the village was besieged by the Centaurs, the saber-toothed tiger rushed left and right and broke the pillars of their cafeteria shed with one slap, and also collapsed the cafeteria kitchen where they cooked and stored meals.

This shows how powerful it is.

Apart from that, the pair of saber teeth that are like its signature weapon, needless to say, contain lethality.

Unfortunately, however, the destructive power of its saber-tooth and powerful forelimbs can only be demonstrated in close combat.

Originally, the saber-toothed tiger could quickly approach its prey by relying on its own explosive power.

But Zhuo Ge and his men had already obtained the relevant intelligence information from Zhou Xu. Now that they were hunting saber-toothed tigers, how could they not be on guard against this move? Each of them relied on their night vision and the range of their bows and arrows to keep a safe distance from the saber-toothed tigers.

As soon as the saber-toothed tiger approached, they immediately retreated and kept their distance.

No matter how far the saber-toothed tiger can advance, it is still farther than the range of a bow and arrow. As long as they can control the distance, no matter how strong the saber-toothed tiger is, it will be unable to do anything to them.

At this moment, the saber-toothed tiger, covered in arrows, was running in front, trying to escape the pursuit of the Centaurs.

Drogo and his people maintained a fan-shaped formation and chased after them.

During this process, their attacks had stopped.

During this period, the saber-toothed tiger had thought about using its explosive power to create distance between them.

But as mentioned before, its explosive power is not long-lasting, and the grassland is now covered with snow, without even any cover. Once the explosive phase is over, Drogo and the others will quickly catch up again and they will not be able to get rid of it at all.

During this process, the huge consumption of physical energy made the saber-toothed tiger begin to breathe heavily, and its steps began to slow down unconsciously.

As a result, in the next second, Drogo quickly bent his bow and drew his arrow, hitting its hind leg, causing the saber-toothed tiger to involuntarily let out an angry howl.

But the Centaurs led by Drogo were not scared off. They expanded their fan-shaped counterattack formation further, and at the same time, all the arrows were put on the bowstrings.

The only difference from before was that this time, each of them was taking aim seriously and launching precise shots.

The targeted areas were all concentrated on the saber-toothed tiger's limbs, head and neck.

While causing damage to the saber-toothed tiger, it was also urging the tiger to run quickly.

Needless to say, they are now depleting the saber-toothed tiger's physical strength.

Although the saber-toothed tiger still has some strength left, it has actually been forced into a desperate situation by Drogo and his men.

If it continues to run, it will end up dying of exhaustion.

Realizing this, the saber-toothed tiger let out violent roars frequently, as if calling on the centaurs to fight it to the death.

But unfortunately, the Centaurs, who are aware of their identity as hunters, have no interest in fighting to the death with their prey.

They maintained their attrition tactics throughout the whole process. No matter how the saber-toothed tiger charged, they just kept pulling each other. The harder the saber-toothed tiger struggled, the more it felt a deep sense of powerlessness after the struggle.

Its intelligence was clearly superior to that of ordinary wild beasts, so it was now clearly aware that it had been dragged into a quagmire from which it could not escape.

Let it give up struggling and wait to die quietly? It won't accept that!

On the contrary, let it struggle hard, the more it struggles, the more desperate it will become!

At this moment, what lies before it is an unsolvable problem.

During this time, perhaps because of the spread of the smell of blood, traces of wolves appeared on the outskirts of the battlefield. It seemed that they were waiting and watching.

This situation made Drogo's face change slightly.

Under normal circumstances, he would naturally not take this pack of wolves seriously.

But the situation is different now, there is still the big trouble of saber-toothed tiger.

Sure enough, after discovering the presence of the wolf pack, the saber-toothed tiger's eyes lit up, and then it gritted its teeth and rushed directly towards the wolf pack.

It looked like he wanted to use the wolf pack to create a chance for himself to escape! In the blink of an eye, things started to develop in the direction he least wanted to see.

At this moment, accompanied by a "hissing" sound, a string of flames cut through the night, and a group of cavalrymen led by Zhou Xu came out of the night with a torch in one hand and the reins in the other.

In fact, they caught up with Drogo and his men as soon as they left the village.

This is to be on the safe side, so that if anything goes wrong, they can provide timely support.

But in the darkness, Drogo and his companions relied on their night vision and did not need to hold torches for lighting.

However, Zhou Xu and his companions had this need, and the ground was covered with snow, so it was not easy to keep up with Drogo and his companions. If they were not paying attention, they would have no idea where Drogo and his companions had disappeared.

Fortunately, the road was not quiet. The frequent roars of the saber-toothed tiger pointed them in the direction and chased after them.

Now, with the help of the firelight, Zhou Xu saw the wolf pack in the distance and immediately knew what was going on! "Leave the wolves to us, you guys focus on dealing with the saber-toothed tigers!"

In order to facilitate nighttime combat, they had already prepared a batch of crescent halberds with torches tied to them, which incidentally gave the weapons "fire" damage.

This little bit of fire may not be worth mentioning to extraordinary creatures, but those wild wolves are still ordinary beasts, and they are born with the fear of fire.

The crescent halberd with a torch was waved, and the effect was outstanding! Wherever it passed, the wolves fled in all directions.

The saber-toothed tiger, whose plan was ruined, was extremely angry and roared as it was about to kill Zhou Xu and the others.

"Disperse!"

During this process, Zhou Xu, who had been paying attention to the saber-toothed tiger's movements the whole time, naturally discovered the opponent's actions at the first time and gave the order to disperse.

Almost at the same time when the saber-toothed tiger's attack missed, the encirclement of the Centaurs led by Drogo swept up again.

At that moment, the suffocating feeling of despair completely overwhelmed it.

Finally, under the hunting of the Centaurs, the huge body of the saber-toothed tiger fell to the ground with a bang, announcing the end of this hunt...
