A group of people from the Qingque tribe set out with rattan shields loaded with stone bullets and stone spears.
They first came to the mulberry forest, but when they did not find any trace of General Fu, they took the mulberry forest as the starting point, excluding the direction of the eastern tribe, and began searching in a fan shape.
After turning half a circle and finding no trace, expand the search range and turn another half circle even larger.
The sound of calling for the lucky general was endless, startling countless birds and scaring away many small animals.
A leopard was hiding its body, preparing to charge at its prey not far away. The herbivore, which had not noticed the danger at all, was startled by the sudden sound and ran away. The leopard, which jumped out a little late, chased for a while, but failed to succeed. It just stood there and looked at the creature that had disturbed its prey from afar. There was no emotion in its brown eyes.
After discovering that the monkeys that had disturbed it were numerous and powerful, it gave up its plan to take them as lunch, turned its head to look here, and quickly jumped up the tree.
The eldest brother and his companions also saw the leopard. They protected Han Cheng in the middle, holding rattan shields and stone spears, looking over there vigilantly, while trying to keep as much distance between themselves and the leopard as possible and going around it.
Even though they had rattan shields in their hands and were outnumbered, they were unwilling to clash with such a ferocious guy.
After getting around it safely, they continued to look for...
After going around a small ridge, a somewhat hidden low-lying area appeared in front of us. It might be related to the spring here, and the trees around it were very lush.
Fortunately, it is autumn and the leaves have fallen, otherwise it would be difficult to see things here.
Even now, it is blocked by tree trunks and dry grass, and most of the place cannot be seen clearly.
"Hiss~"
After walking a distance on the dead grass and fallen leaves, the vision gradually became clearer. After seeing the real scene here, even the eldest brother, who was knowledgeable, couldn't help but take a breath and his body immediately tensed up.
He made a low sound from his mouth, warning the people around him.
Han Cheng walked a little behind and didn't understand what the senior brother saw at first. After seeing the appearance of the senior brother and others, he took two steps forward, and the scene there immediately appeared in front of him.
His eyes suddenly widened a lot, his heartbeat accelerated, and his mouth opened slightly.
I actually encountered such a thing!
There is a relatively open area around the spring. To the north of the spring, two groups of wild beasts are confronting each other.
There were a large number of wild beasts in the group. At a rough glance, there were probably more than ten of them.
Leading the group was a huge wild boar with two protruding fangs and a body covered with a mixture of dried gum, mud, and crushed sand and gravel, as if it was wearing a suit of steel armor!
The two wild boars were quite large, much larger than the ones that the eldest brother and his companions had hunted before.
According to Han Cheng's visual estimation, the wild boar with a slightly smaller head and shorter tusks must weigh over 300 kilograms.
The bigger one must be no less than 350 kilograms!
Behind the two wild boars was a group of immature wild boar piglets, weighing about thirty or forty kilograms. At this time, they seemed a little uncomfortably standing behind the two big wild boars, seeking shelter.
Opposite the two big wild boars, about ten meters apart, there are also two huge monsters.
The short brown fur stuck tightly to the body, making it look strong and sturdy. The two hind legs, which were much shorter than the front legs, were thicker than the tiger legs Han Cheng had seen in zoos in later generations!
The tail is not long and hangs down towards the ground, ready to exert force.
This is not the most attractive thing. The most attractive thing is this guy's huge head and two buck teeth that extend from the upper jaw and are at least twenty centimeters long!
Because these two "buck teeth" are too long, they cannot be closed into the mouth and are only exposed outside. Compared with them, the fangs grown by zombies are really not up to par!
Sabre-toothed tiger?!
After seeing the faces of these two guys, the name Sabretooth Tiger jumped into Han Cheng's mind without him having to think about it deliberately.
I didn't expect to meet this guy who disappeared in the long river of history!
Han Cheng was not an archaeologist or a researcher of prehistoric biology, so his initial surprise and excitement after seeing the saber-toothed tiger quickly disappeared.
Because after they showed up rashly, the two parties that were originally in confrontation all pointed their fingers at them!
The wild boar with its fangs turned outward and wearing "armor" stared at them with its red eyes, digging the ground with its hooves from time to time. If there were not two saber-toothed tigers on the opposite side as a threat, it would have rushed towards Han Cheng and the others!
The same goes for the two saber-toothed tigers. Their huge heads looked over here, their legs (longer in front and shorter in the back) moved in a small range on the ground, their mouths with fangs opened and closed from time to time, and the angle between the lower jaw and the upper jaw was more than ninety degrees!
This solved the doubts in Han Cheng's mind, as he was wondering how the animal could open its mouth to eat with such long fangs.
The two saber-toothed tigers let out low roars from their throats from time to time, warning the uninvited guests who had suddenly arrived.
The dagger-like teeth look like carefully carved jade under the sunlight.
Imagine the feeling of having two long teeth like this piercing into the body, and Han Cheng immediately stopped thinking that these two teeth were beautiful.
All the people of the Qingque tribe tensed up, holding their rattan shields and stone spears tightly, standing still and confronting the two groups of ferocious beasts.
Because of the terrain, when Senior Brother Han Cheng and his group discovered the two groups that were confronting each other, the distance between them was less than thirty meters!
The atmosphere at this moment was particularly tense. While a three-way confrontation was taking shape, there was also a tendency for Wu and Shu to unite to resist Cao.
The two groups who were confronting each other fiercely seemed very angry at the sudden appearance of the third party.
It was only because they had a large number of people and didn't look like they were easy to mess with that we didn't launch an attack rashly.
Han Cheng's heart was pounding. He had never had such an experience before. In the past, the most ferocious animals he had encountered during field rescues were a pair of wolves, and they ran away after seeing people.
It’s nothing like what we’re doing now, staring at these ferocious animals up close, and without any safety guarantees!
The palm of his hand holding a short stone spear felt a little damp.
The eldest brother and other people who often hunt are much calmer than Han Cheng, but they dare not act rashly. Such a large number of ferocious beasts are beyond their ability.
If food was not extremely scarce, they would not choose to fight with such ferocious beasts.
"go back!"
The three parties confronted each other for a while, and after confirming that the wild boar and saber-toothed tiger would not launch an attack rashly, the eldest brother spoke in a low voice.
Following the leader's orders, everyone held their weapons and vigilantly guarded against wild boars and saber-toothed tigers, while slowly and tentatively retreating.
Fortunately, the wild boars and saber-toothed tigers were only moving in a small range on the spot and had no intention of attacking. This made Han Cheng, who was extremely nervous, breathe a sigh of relief.
He retreated with the crowd, wanting to leave this extremely dangerous place as soon as possible.
What is that?
Han Cheng, who was retreating, suddenly focused his gaze on the grass not far from the saber-toothed tiger.
There was a piece of gray fur, peeking out from the half-hidden grass. It looked like a dead beast...
Han Cheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
