Over the next few days, they began hunting around White Flower Falls.
Chen Yang, Li Su'er, and Ou Huang formed one team, while Grandpa Yun, Ye Wu, and Li Ye formed another team.
Grandpa Yun had lived in the wild for a period of time in order to practice Xingyi Quan, so he knew how to track animal tracks. There are all kinds of animals in Yebo Forest, so there's no need to worry about not finding them.
Chen Yang's team relied entirely on their lucky star for tracking. This lucky star was increasingly resembling a hunting dog. Unfortunately, it still instinctively targeted small animals, catching quite a few rabbits, gophers, and pheasants. They only managed to catch one deer, which was slightly larger.
Grandpa Chen is quite skilled at tracking large animals. He caught two deer and a hyena, and they also found traces of several cows, which they are currently tracking.
However, before they could track down the cow, a flock of wild ducks came to them and were captured alive, five large and two small.
The prey they've hunted in the past few days, plus the few sheep on the island, should be enough to meet their current needs.
Just as they were preparing to go back, Chen Yang suddenly made an unexpected discovery.
While they were tracking the rabbit, they discovered several unusual footprints, and Chen Yang called over Grandpa Yun.
"This is a tiger," the old man said excitedly.
"What should we do? Should we hunt the tiger?" Chen Yang asked.
This is different from their hunting of boars and deer; their targets are large felines, some of which are considered the kings of beasts.
Although there is a saying among the people that "first a boar, second a bear, third a tiger," that refers to a rare wild boar weighing five or six hundred pounds, not the wild boar weighing just over one hundred pounds that Chen Yang and his team hunted.
Tigers are different. As long as they are adults, they are incredibly powerful and agile, making it difficult to find their weaknesses.
"hunting!"
Chen Yang said without hesitation.
The last time he and Wang Bing encountered the tiger, they were completely powerless to fight it and could only leave in fear.
This time is different. They have two archers, his own combat strength has increased significantly, and there's also Grandpa Yun. Both are quite formidable fighters.
"Chen Yang, remember the essence of Tiger Style Boxing. It evolved from the movements of a tiger. You can use it to study the habits and movements of a tiger, or you can learn from a tiger," the old man said.
Chen Yang nodded, then instructed the European Emperor to follow the tiger's scent.
Tigers are creatures that intimidate all other animals; even wolves will avoid them if they smell a tiger.
But the European Emperor seemed completely unafraid; on the contrary, he was quite excited.
"Keep an eye on your surroundings. Tigers are very patient stalkers. Since it's lurking around, it must have noticed us."
Chen Yang explained to everyone on the way.
Li Ye, the weakest of the group in terms of combat strength, was left under the waterfall and protected by the fire, while the others went out to search for the tiger.
"come on."
Before seeing everyone off, Li Ye said something timidly, which made Li Su'er stroke her for a while. She couldn't resist such a cute girl as Li Ye.
"This will be an unforgettable memory for me. The only time I ever saw a tiger in the wild was when I was tracking a South China tiger that had been shot. When that tiger saw me, it actually ran away. It had lost the majesty of the king of beasts and had developed a fear of humans."
"Grandpa Yun said with some emotion."
On Earth today, humanity is undoubtedly the dominant species. No matter if it is the king of beasts or the king of the forest, no creature in the sky, on land or in the sea can withstand human weapons.
"It seems the European Emperor has discovered something," Li Su'er said.
The lucky guy was running forward quickly when Chen Yang called him back.
Just kidding, the current fighting power of the European Emperor is barely comparable to that of an adult wolf. Facing a tiger head-on would be suicidal.
"We'll talk about it when you're an adult. Lead the way first." Chen Yang patted Ou Huang's head. Although Ou Huang was a little unwilling, he understood what Chen Yang meant.
Soon, they saw a huge tiger lying on a rock, taking a nap.
It was like a solitary emperor, and no animal dared to approach it. Its breathing was steady and powerful, and one could see its body rise and fall with each breath.
"Is this the Crouching Tiger?"
Even Grandpa Yunhua seemed somewhat shocked.
Ye Wu swallowed hard: "Such a powerful deterrent."
Li Su'er dared not utter any more boastful words at this moment. If she were alone, she felt she would be so frightened that her legs would go weak.
The European king bared its teeth at the tiger. Although it wasn't afraid, it seemed to understand that it was no match for the big orange cat in front of it.
The tiger noticed Chen Yang and his group, and it raised its head slightly, gazing in their direction.
"Pay attention to its movements, this is the tiger form, the real tiger form," Grandpa Yun said softly.
Chen Yang looked at the tiger's form and muscle movements, and compared them one by one with the Tiger Form Fist. He immediately had many ideas, but it was not the right time to verify them.
The tiger stood up, seemingly aware of the threat posed by the group. It paced back and forth on the rock twice, but its eyes remained fixed on the group.
"Don't give it a chance to run, aim first," Chen Yang said, raising his spear as he did so.
A tense atmosphere permeated the air, and the noisy forest seemed to quiet down. The tiger, four people, and a dog stood facing each other.
"Woof woof woof!!!"
Suddenly, the European Emperor shouted to his right.
Chen Yang glanced at it, and his expression immediately changed drastically.
"Shoot!" he shouted without hesitation.
At that moment, Li Su'er and Ye Wu, who were on edge, fired their arrows simultaneously. However, they were also slightly distracted by the shouts of the "European Emperor," but they didn't have time to turn around.
Chen Yang immediately threw his stone axe to his right, but Grandpa Yun reacted even faster, sending out the thin stone shard he had been holding.
To their right was a tiger, slightly smaller in size.
Chen Yang's stone axe missed its target, but Grandpa Yun's stone shard ripped a gash into the tiger's belly. The tiger let out a pained roar and didn't approach again.
The tiger on the rock pounced immediately, and Li Su'er and Ye Wu's arrows both missed their mark.
The tiger was so fast that it roared and pounced like an orange lightning bolt, carrying an unparalleled sense of oppression, that the two of them forgot to nock their arrows again.
At this critical moment, the European Emperor rushed out and fought the tiger fearlessly. However, in just one exchange, he was pinned down by the tiger, his neck was almost bitten off, and a deep gash was left on his back that exposed bone.
Li Su'er was completely terrified. Ye Wu reacted faster and shot an arrow that hit the tiger in the side, causing the tiger to roar and retreat.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the lucky man escaped back. Seeing the wound on his back, Li Su'er burst into tears.
"Stop crying, draw the bow!" Chen Yang shouted.
When Li Su'er first saw Chen Yang so serious, she hurriedly nocked an arrow and drew her bow.
"You two keep an eye on that one. If you can't hit it with your arrows, be prepared for close combat and use your stone axes. This one is for me and the old man," Chen Yang said.
Chen Yang stared intently at the tiger that was eyeing him menacingly.
They were very unlucky; they stumbled upon a tiger in mating season. Tigers that are usually solitary will mate during mating. The one in front of them must be a female tiger.
Grandpa Yun held the stone, supporting Chen Yang.
