After dinner, An Shuyi asked Xiao Yubai to carry her to another tree so she could brush her teeth, wash her face, and have her covered with a blanket to go to sleep.
roar
In the dead of night, the roars of animals could be heard. The group sat up, looked down at the fighting animals, and ignored them, continuing to sleep.
With trees so tall, the animals couldn't spot them at all, especially since they'd been sprayed with pesticide. Although it was a bit noisy, the group was able to sleep.
When they woke up in the morning, there were still animal carcasses on the floor. It seemed that there had been a fierce fight last night. The group sat up, put away their blankets, took out their basins, washed their faces, brushed their teeth, and then ate breakfast.
Before they could leave, a tiger appeared below.
“Wife, how about Yu Mo and I kill this tiger and make a quilt for you and Xia Hua each?” Xiao Yubai said.
These tigers are seven or eight meters tall. They could make four quilts, let alone two. They could even be made into double-layered ones, with fur on both sides, so they would definitely be warm.
An Shuyi looked at him and said, "Is this okay? This tiger is quite big." She didn't lack blankets; the tiger skin she had hunted in ancient times was still stored in the warehouse.
"Whether I can do it or not, you don't know. Just give me the sword, and I'll show you!" It's just a tiger. He's killed thousands of soldiers. How could he not be able to deal with a tiger?
"Alright, be careful." She took out the sword and gave it to him. On the other side, Cheng Yumo also took the sword that Xia Hua had taken out.
Watching the two leap forward, their swords aimed straight at the tiger's head, one would think they would sever the tiger's head, but in the end, they only suffered minor cuts.
“This tiger is really tough. If the two of us go, we won’t come out unscathed,” An Shuyi said.
They were too weak in front of the tiger, lacking internal strength and unable to fly. Of course, if they were willing to risk injury, they could still kill the tiger.
"Let me test the power of the arrow." Xia Hua said, and a bow and an arrow appeared in her hand. She drew the bow, pulled the arrow, and aimed it at the tiger's eyes.
Because of the excessive force, the bow was pulled so hard that it creaked.
call out
The arrow flew downwards with unstoppable force, striking the tiger's eye and penetrating its skull, though two-thirds of it remained outside.
"These bones are really hard; there are still so many left. It seems the animals here are not to be underestimated," An Shuyi said, watching the tiger howling in pain and attacking everywhere.
Xia Hua nodded, "It is quite tough. In the future, avoid it if you can. Don't confront it head-on, because you can't win."
She used all her strength; if it were a normal animal, it would have been pierced through the body long ago. It was impossible for the arrow to remain outside, with more than half of it still intact.
With Xia Hua's arrow, Xiao Yubai and Cheng Yumo leaped into the air, watching the tiger darting about below. They channeled their inner strength into their swords, swooped down, and then slashed the tiger's neck with their swords.
Seeing the tiger's head separated from its body, the two avoided the flying blood. After a while, the tiger finally collapsed heavily to the ground.
“Wait here in the tree for a while, we’ll remove the bark and then go to another spot,” Cheng Yumo said.
The smell of blood is strong here. If there are any animals around, they will be attracted by the smell and come over. It's not safe for the two of them to come down.
Xia Hua nodded, "You handle it, we'll stay here." With that, she threw down the tanning tools.
They wouldn't be able to help if they went down, so it's better for them to wait up there. They can keep an eye on the area and notify any animals that come near.
Knowing it wasn't safe here, the two quickened their pace, used their swords to cut off the tiger's skin, then cut it in half, washed it in the river, and then tanned it.
Before long, the sound of animals running could be heard in the distance, and the two of them knew it even without the two people in the tree reminding them.
The tanned hides were washed again in water, then folded, picked up, and flown up into the tree.
As soon as it landed on the tree and folded up its skin, animals appeared, and quite a few of them: wolves, wild boars, lions, and bears, as if they had all planned it together.
An Shuyi suddenly looked to the side warily. When she saw what appeared, her hair stood on end, and she screamed inwardly, "This thing is no ordinary animal. It can climb trees!"
Others also saw the python appear. Xiao Yubai held her in his arms and covered her eyes.
The group didn't dare to move and could only wait for the animals to leave. Soon, the animals gathered together.
As soon as they appeared, they started tearing at each other, like a group fight, but there were mostly wolves, not many other animals.
There were also quite a few wild boars. Although they were the weakest group, they were no weaker than other animals when they fought. In particular, the wolves were pierced through the bodies by the wild boars' sharp tusks and died instantly.
Those pythons were formidable; with a flick of their tails, a black bear was knocked to the ground, then coiled up and finally strangled to death.
In the end, the pythons emerged victorious in this great battle. The two pythons looked at their prey on the ground and swallowed it whole. As they were swallowing, Xia Hua made a gesture, and then two bombs appeared in her hand.
She handed it to Cheng Yumo, lit it with a lighter, took it, and threw it directly at the python. The next second, she was carried away from the tree.
On the other side, An Shuyi was caught by Xiao Yubai as the bomb was thrown, and they left the tree and flew to a tree further away.
Two bombs exploded one after the other, followed by billowing smoke. The entire island seemed to shake for a moment before returning to calm.
When the smoke cleared, the group flew back. The spot where the python had been standing had become a huge crater, and the river water had been cut off by the explosion, flowing directly into the crater.
"Honey, this bomb is amazing! It's not afraid of any animals. It just blows up whatever it sees," Cheng Yumo said.
What he admired most were these two women—how could they possess such a powerful object and even make it themselves?
“We can use them, but we have to use them sparingly. We only have a little over five hundred bombs. If we throw them at every animal we see, it won’t be enough. We’ll use them when we have more,” Xia Hua said.
She also wanted to see animals so she could drop bombs, but there were definitely more than a few hundred animals here, so she should be careful.
“My wife is right. Then may I ask, when you and Shuyi were in ancient times, why didn’t you use bombs when wars were so dangerous?”
At that time, they also had bombs. When they were making them a few days ago, the materials were all taken from the warehouse, and they were so skilled that they must have done it more than once.
"Why not? Because it's unnecessary. Fighting isn't difficult for us, don't you know? Since we started leading troops into battle, not a single white soldier has ever died. Do you know why?"
Cheng Yumo shook her head. "I don't know."
"Because every time we lead troops into battle, the ones charging at the forefront are our iron cavalry, whom we have trained ourselves. Although they cannot fight a hundred men, they can certainly fight ten."
"So the soldiers don't need to be at the forefront; if they die, they die, and naturally, the bombs won't be needed."
