Chapter 13 Hunter Feng Zhang
When Shen Yuexi faced a real tiger face to face for the first time, she realized how huge the tiger was.
Eyes like lightning, tail like a whip, mouth like a bloody basin and teeth like halberds.
The lone rabbits in the forest have all hidden themselves, and the deer and roe deer in the stream have all concealed themselves.
She didn't try to be brave anymore and jumped behind Xiao Zhuo. She pointed at the big tiger opposite and shouted in a trembling voice: "Husband...husband...husband!"
Xiao Zhuo stood between her and the tiger, using his body to block the tiger's attack. This way, the tiger could only confront Xiao Zhuo.
The little tiger was standing beside them, circling around the three of them, with fierce eyes and roaring loudly.
Xiao Zhuo stood tall and straight like a green pine or cypress, blocking the tiger, as steady as Mount Tai.
"Don't be afraid." The voice was light and soothing.
Shen Yuexi swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
How could I not be afraid? I could still handle one, but now there are two, and it’s such a majestic big tiger. I wonder how many people it has eaten.
The king of beasts is not a cute kitten kept at home.
The passion that was in my heart just now was completely extinguished without even a trace of dust rising.
My back felt cold and I was sweating. My whole body was as stiff as wood and my legs were like willow catkins swaying in the wind.
In order not to drag Xiao Zhuo down, she quickly calmed herself down and stepped back silently.
She knew she couldn't help at all now.
Xiao Zhuo faced the imposing tiger, his long sword emitting a cold light, which was extremely chilling under the sunlight.
He intended to strike first, leaning forward and launching the attack first.
The tiger had been disturbed into its territory by the hunter. Now, provoked by Xiao Zhuo's action, it roared, jumped, and pounced on him.
“Get out of the way!”
Xiao Zhuo shouted coldly in a deep voice, and Shen Yuexi hurriedly ran towards the huge rock beside her desperately. Seeing this, the hunter also stumbled and ran towards the rock.
What bad luck! I finally escaped from the enemy's pursuit, but now I am in danger of being swallowed by a tiger.
Xiao Zhuo's stern and cold voice came from behind.
He just let out a cold shout, dodged, and in a flash of lightning, he slashed with his sword, cutting a gash in the tiger's hind leg.
One sword draws blood.
"roar!"
The roar made the jungle birds fly away and rabbits run away, and it seemed that even the surrounding ground was shaking.
Wild beasts are much more sensitive to the smell of blood than humans, and they became more and more violent.
The big tiger turned towards Xiao Zhuo, jumped up, pounced on him, and slapped his back with its sharp claws.
Shen Yuexi hid behind a rock, watching with trepidation, and shouted in alarm, "Watch out behind you!"
The tiger was a ferocious beast, powerful yet also extremely agile. But Xiao Zhuo was no weakling either, and quickly dodged the tiger's deadly attack. Then, he leaned sideways, twisted his wrist, and thrust his sword behind him.
The tiger roared and let out a scream, with bruises on its abdomen.
It seemed to be aware of the danger posed by its opponent and began to distance itself from Xiao Zhuo, its eyes noticeably dimming a little.
The jungle here is lush, and when the sun sets, it is very cool and shady with a breeze. No wonder the tiger chose this place as its lair.
When the tiger cub saw its companion injured, it roared in rage and chased the hunter around the boulder. Shen Yuexi and the hunter were so scared that they screamed continuously and left the boulder together and ran towards a nearby big tree. The tiger cub chased them closely behind.
Xiao Zhuo took advantage of the fact that the little tiger was not paying attention to him, rushed over sideways, and pierced the little tiger's side with a sword.
The little tiger roared and fell to the ground, with blood gushing out of his abdomen.
Shen Yuexi touched her chest with her hand. It was a close call.
Xiao Zhuo swung his sword, leaped up, and stabbed the big tiger's skull straight in the head.
The big tiger was provoked to even greater fury by Xiao Zhuo. It turned around to avoid the sword, then opened its mouth to bite Xiao Zhuo, but was dodged by Xiao Zhuo's light and agile body.
After several exchanges, the tiger not only had wounds on its back, but also several wounds on its abdomen. Blood was dripping, staining the grass with red spots. Even its movements slowed down noticeably.
Xiao Zhuo's attack was more fierce, with a murderous aura, his long hair was loose, and the fierce and fierce light in his eyes was colder and more brutal than a tiger's.
His cold and detached face was as pale as snow, and without a trace of hesitation or pity, he raised the sword in his hand.
"Crack!" The tiger's head was cut off by a sword, and its huge body fell to the ground.
Seeing that both tigers were killed by Xiao Zhuo with one sword, the hunter looked at Xiao Zhuo in a daze, unable to conceal his admiration.
He sank to his knees with a plop, still in shock and fear: "Thank you both for saving my life."
Seeing him kowtow repeatedly, Shen Yuexi persuaded him, "Okay, get up first. I want to ask you something."
Hearing his benefactor's question, the hunter obediently raised his head and looked over. He had been so frightened that he hadn't noticed anything else. Now that he was rescued, he was still stunned when he saw the girl before him.
The girl had a stunning beauty, and even a rough guy like him didn't know how to describe it. In short, she was a hundred times prettier than the beauty in their village, and was the most beautiful person he had ever seen.
Looking at the man who was so decisive and ruthless before, he was even more imposing.
Although they looked seriously injured, I don't know how they ended up here.
But he didn't dare to ask more questions and just answered Shen Yuexi's questions honestly.
"In reply to your benefactor, my name is Feng Zhang. I'm from Daliang Village and make a living by hunting. Unfortunately, I encountered two giant caterpillars today. Fortunately, my two benefactors rescued me, and I was able to save my life."
"Daliang Village, which county is it under?"
"Tongliao County, Liangzhou."
Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo looked at each other and saw him nod slightly.
Since Xiao Zhuo already knew the exact location, she stopped asking. Anyway, she was completely unfamiliar with the Great Yan Dynasty.
She asked Feng Zhang to stand up and asked him some more questions.
It turned out that they were already more than 200 miles away from Shengzhou where they had fled.
Feng Zhang saw the two men in such a mess, and was puzzled as to why they were there, so he asked, "Why are you two benefactors here?"
Xiao Zhuo looked at Feng Zhang coldly, his eyes full of vigilance, and there was no sign of him putting away the long sword in his hand.
She knew that Xiao Zhuo had trusted her along the way, but he still remained repulsive and wary of outsiders.
She quickly grabbed his sleeve, signaling him to relax and not kill the man with a single sword.
"My husband and I were on a business trip and passed by here, but unexpectedly we encountered bandits..." As she spoke, a look of sadness appeared on her face, and she pretended to be pitiful, as if her belongings had been robbed and she had nowhere to go.
Xiao Zhuo glanced at her quietly, then patted her hands in agreement to comfort her.
"So you were also robbed by those damned bandits. If you don't mind, you can stay at my house for a while," Feng Zhang scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed. "But my house is shabby... I'm afraid it won't be to your liking."
This was exactly what Shen Yuexi had been waiting for. Since Feng Zhang had invited her, she certainly had no reason to refuse.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Feng," she said, looking at the two dead tigers lying on the ground. "Brother Feng, can we sell the tigers?"
Now she and Xiao Zhuo are extremely poor and don't have a single penny.
Xiao Zhuo's injury needs to be treated by a professional doctor, which requires money.
"Yes, yes, but the three of us can't carry it." Feng Zhang said embarrassedly.
