Chapter 217: Natural Born Hunter
Compared with ordinary primitive tribes, the scale of their grassland village is definitely large, but the space inside the village is still limited.
The Centaurs, led by Drogo, were all tall and strong. Their presence suddenly made the originally spacious area crowded.
Under this premise, if ordinary villagers and soldiers continue to crowd there, they will only get in each other's way.
Zhou Xu was undoubtedly aware of this, so he gave orders and made adjustments quite decisively, leaving the main battlefield directly to Drogo and his men.
When Zhou Xu gave this order, his voice was very loud, and Zhuogo and the others undoubtedly heard it clearly, but they did not feel any dissatisfaction in their hearts because this was exactly what he thought.
Demonstrating the mobility advantage of their Centaur race, Drogo and his men circled around the saber-toothed tiger, continuously shooting bows and attacking it.
After all, he had hunted supernatural creatures before, so Drogo knew very well that when facing such supernatural creatures, the safest way was to avoid a head-on fight if possible and to directly consume them to death.
At this moment, this is undoubtedly his strategic approach.
Although extraordinary creatures are smarter than ordinary beasts, there is no need to think of them as too powerful.
It's essentially just a more powerful beast.
Even humans who call themselves primates often lose control of their emotions and go crazy, let alone them?
Faced with Drogo's tactic, the saber-toothed tiger, who had been passively beaten the whole time, became visibly irritated, and began to rush left and right frantically, trying to pounce on some Centaur, and then bite it to death with its saber teeth to vent its hatred!
But the Centaurs have lived on the grasslands for generations, and have survived to this day thanks to their excellent hunting skills.
Although the target has changed from ordinary beasts to extraordinary creatures, which puts them under more pressure, in the final analysis, the opponent is still a beast, and the hunting techniques passed down from generation to generation by the Centaurs are also useful on saber-toothed tigers! Without Zhou Xu and his men's interference, the Centaurs' internal hunting tactics were fully implemented, and they pulled and covered each other, trapping the saber-toothed tiger in the middle and making it difficult to move forward or backward.
No matter which direction it rushed, the other sides would launch concentrated fire on it. In the past, when the Centaurs were still using stone arrowheads, it might have been able to rely on its thick skin and flesh to resist.
But now the Centaurs use copper arrowheads, and each one is polished to be extremely sharp.
The arrow came and directly broke through its fur and sank into its flesh.
Although it was only a flesh wound, it was bleeding, and within a short while, the Centaurs' arrow attacks had left it covered in wounds.
It obviously didn't expect that the Centaurs were lurking in this human village.
During this process, the saber-toothed tiger, having regained a little bit of rationality, undoubtedly realized that if it continued like this, it would probably be consumed to death.
As soon as this thought came to mind, a fierce look suddenly flashed in the saber-toothed tiger's eyes, and then with a roar, it suddenly pounced on one of the centaurs.
Maintaining their tactics, when the Centaur saw the saber-toothed tiger rushing towards him, he immediately put away his bow and quickly retreated.
At the same time, the centaurs in other directions hurriedly increased their attack intensity, forcing the saber-toothed tiger to turn around and respond.
But what they didn't expect was that this time the saber-toothed tiger did not turn around like before, but pounced on their tribesman like a madman!
"Run! Run straight out of the village and don't look back!"
During this process, Drogo reacted quickly. While giving orders to his people, he also frequently drew his bow and shot arrows at the saber-toothed tiger's legs and feet.
The purpose is to attack the opponent's mobility! So that the opponent can be completely trapped by their hunting tactics! However, compared to the huge body, it is at least twice as difficult for arrows to hit the legs and feet.
We finally shot an arrow into the saber-toothed tiger's hind leg, but at the moment, it doesn't seem to have much impact on the tiger's movements. It may take some time for the wound to expand further.
During this process, the centaur who received the order, before his brain could react, had already taken a step forward and ran wildly, narrowly avoiding the fatal pounce of the saber-toothed tiger at an extremely thrilling distance! All of this came from the absolute trust in their patriarch.
The Centaur was running wildly with its four hooves spread out at a very fast speed, showing its excellent mobility.
The saber-toothed tiger was determined to bite the centaur to death. Seeing the centaur running so fast, the rage in his heart erupted like a raging volcano. He immediately started chasing after it, as if he would not give up until he bit off the centaur's neck.
And this was undoubtedly Drogo's trick.
It would be best if the previous hunting tactics could be maintained and the saber-toothed tigers could be consumed to death.
However, he did not think too highly of this matter. After all, he also knew that extraordinary creatures were not that stupid.
Almost at the moment when the sabertooth tiger changed its action mode, his tactics also adjusted accordingly.
Rushing out of the grassland village and reaching the more spacious area outside, the centaurs can better utilize their advantages of mobility and bows and arrows.
But in fact, the saber-toothed tiger had its own plans in mind.
In the saber-toothed tiger's view, as long as it gets outside, it can escape even if it can't win.
But this is undoubtedly wishful thinking.
Facing the Centaurs, the Sabre-toothed Tiger could only rely on its explosive power to gain a slight advantage in speed, but the explosive power was not sustainable. During long-distance movement, it would soon be caught up by the Centaurs and would not be able to get rid of them at all!
The saber-toothed tiger soon experienced this firsthand.
This was completely different from the previous time when the saber-toothed tiger attacked the grassland village camp at night and Zhou Xu and his men were basically unable to do anything about it.
Why couldn't Zhou Xu and his men deal with the saber-toothed tiger at that time?
On the one hand, the vision is limited at night and movement is inconvenient.
On the other hand, if the saber-toothed tiger tried to break through by relying on its explosive power, they would be completely powerless to intercept it and could only let it come and go freely.
But these two problems are not problems at all for the Centaurs.
Judging from the characteristics of both sides, the Centaurs are truly natural hunters and have perfectly restrained all the advantages of the saber-toothed tigers.
This time, in order to deal with the saber-toothed tiger, Zhou Xu equipped each Centaur warrior with an extra tube of arrows as a loan to them.
This also made the centaurs led by Drogo more reckless in shooting arrows. They kept shooting arrows all the way. In just a moment, the huge saber-toothed tiger was almost shot into a hedgehog! (End of this chapter)
