Lord of the Star Ocean

Chapter 16: Scarlet Flame Tiger

It worked!

When the last escaped one-horned gazelle disappeared into the dense forest, the hunters cheered in unison.

Although the flock of sheep ran away, four fat and strong yellow sheep stayed behind and became the prey of the hunting team, which doubled the expected harvest!

Two one-horned gazelles were shot at the beginning of the siege, and the other two were hunted down by the hunters with all their strength. The result was perfect.

Even Zhang Shixiong, who always had a gloomy face, smiled. All the hunting team killed were adult Gazelle sheep, two rams and two ewes, all of which were steadily over two hundred catties in size, and could be sold for a lot of money when transported back to Nanyuan City.

Most importantly, none of the hunters were injured during the hunt.

Of course, there are also regrets. The four Gazelles were hit by several arrows, and even more than a dozen arrows. This greatly reduced the value of the prey's fur, and the merchants would inevitably lower the price.

Yellow sheepskin is a good thing. The sheepskin coat made of it is at least tens of gold in Nanyuan City, and the leather that is too damaged cannot be used as a coat. It can only be used as raw materials for sheepskin gloves, scarves, and jackets, which are not that expensive.

This is also a helpless thing, the one-horned gazelle is a desolate beast after all, unless an arrow hits its eye and kills it directly, otherwise it is impossible to keep its complete fur.

None of the members of the hunting team, including Zhang Shixiong, had such sharp archery skills.

Not to be greedy, it is already very good.

Several hunters worked together, happily placing the four one-horned gazelles together, and several others split branches and vines nearby, preparing to carry the prey back to Nanyuan City.

There is still a long time before dark, but now the hunting team is burdened by hundreds of catties. If they don't leave sooner, they may not be able to get out of the wild area before dark, and it will be dangerous.

"Hurry up, everyone..."

Zhang Shixiong urged: "Let's leave quickly!"

Roar~

As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly a deep and powerful roar came from the distant mountain forest!

The busy hunters were shocked, and Zhang Shixiong's face suddenly turned pale.

The corpses of four gazelles were placed on the ground, and the wounds shot by the arrows were still bleeding. The dark red blood flowed to the ground and gathered into a meandering stream, filling the air with a strong smell of blood.

This is an ominous smell that brings disaster!

"Look!"

A hunter pointed his finger in the direction of the roar, his eyes trembled and he said, "That's..."

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a sturdy dark red beast leaping out of the forest a hundred steps away from everyone, and quickly approaching their position.

Zhang Shixiong also saw this ferocious beast, and his expression suddenly became ferocious: "Red Flame Tiger!"

The three words were squeezed out between his teeth, as if with some kind of magical power, it immediately made the hunters shudder!

The Scarlet Flame Tiger is a first-tier high-level savage beast. It is active in the wild forest and often appears in the edge of the wild. Although its rank is not high, its combat power is very strong, and it is fierce and bloodthirsty alone.

Savage beasts are different from wild beasts. The hunting team can scare away low-level wild beasts when they encounter them. Savage beasts are hard to scare away unless the strength of one's own side exceeds it. Therefore, once a frontal battle breaks out, it must be the result of life and death!

Many hunters in Nanyuan City who went hunting in the wilderness were killed in the mouth of the Red Flame Tiger. Usually, it can be said that the color of the talk has changed. Now seeing a real Red Flame Tiger rushing towards him and others, how can he keep calm?

If it wasn't clear to everyone that we must not disperse our strength at this time, I am afraid that some people could not help but run for their lives!

Although Zhang Shixiong's hunting team had ten hunters, they were no match for Chi Yanhu. The bows, arrows and hunting knives in their hands did not pose any threat to the first-tier savage beasts, and they were almost certain to lose.

This is the sadness of a hunting team without star warriors.

What was originally a happy event suddenly turned into a great tragedy. This Scarlet Flame Tiger must have followed the smell of blood, and it was undoubtedly eyeing the prey on the ground.

"Nobody do it!"

Zhang Shixiong roared decisively: "Let's back off!"

The hunters threw down the branches and vines, and gathered together with hunting bows and hunting knives. Led by Zhang Shixiong, they retreated step by step, widening the distance from the gazelle corpse.

Although everyone knows that the weapons in their hands are useless, and that many people can't stop the slaughter of the Red Flame Tiger, but only in this way can they have a little sense of security, otherwise they will really collapse.

And the Scarlet Flame Tiger stopped twenty or thirty steps away from the hunting team. It stared at the hunters, its slightly opened mouth let out a low growl, as if it was a demonstration or a warning.

The two sides formed a confrontational situation.

Standing among the hunters, Nie Feng looked coldly at this uninvited visitor who came to snatch food. This Scarlet Flame Tiger was covered with dark red hair covered with black spots. His limbs were very thick, and the muscles protruded from under the fur, which contained tyrannical strength.

However, its belly was obviously shriveled, so it must be very hungry.

Hungry beasts are the worst.

Different from the tigers on the earth, the Scarlet Flame Tiger has two exposed fangs, which are curved and extremely sharp. A pair of copper bell-sized tiger eyes are bright red, like two groups of burning flames that will never be extinguished.

Even though it was dozens of steps away, Nie Feng could still feel the coercion from this savage beast.

Savage beasts are indeed fundamentally different from wild beasts!

After confronting each other for a while, Zhang Shixiong swallowed hard, and tentatively took half a step forward.

He was really not reconciled, he ran here with the hunting team hard, and finally surrounded and killed four gazelles, if he retreated like this and gave up all the prey to Chi Yanhu, he was really not reconciled!

So Zhang Shixiong wanted to try to see if he could get back one or two gazelles under the tiger's mouth.

This is not Zhang Shixiong's whimsy. Wild beasts are creatures with spiritual wisdom. High-level wild beasts can even communicate with people directly, not wild beasts that only act on primitive instincts.

And he dared to do this because the Scarlet Flame Tiger didn't attack immediately, which showed that the other party had some scruples, either because he was injured, or because he was afraid of their large numbers and power, so he didn't dare to take risks easily.

If the tiger has scruples, then there is the possibility of communication.

Roar~

It's a pity that Zhang Shixiong had a very good idea, but just before he stepped on the ground, the red flame tiger suddenly raised its head and roared loudly, the tiger hairs on its body stood on end, and sharp claws popped out from the flesh/slits of the soles of its feet.

It's going to be real!

Zhang Shixiong couldn't help but look ashamed, he just tested Chi Yanhu's bottom line, that is, people can leave, but all prey must be kept, not a single one is missing!

Sighing heavily in his heart, the leader of the hunting team stepped back. He reluctantly looked at the yellow sheep on the ground in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!"

If you really fight against Chi Yanhu, even if you beat Chi Yanhu back in the end, how many people are left in the hunting team?

Although the prey is good, it is worthless to exchange human life!

The other people in the hunting team are also very unwilling, but what can they do?

Zhang Shixiong's decision is undoubtedly wise, if the prey is gone, he can fight again, and if his life is gone, where can he get it back!

So everyone could only endure the aggrieved and depressed hearts, followed Zhang Shixiong and continued to retreat step by step, and they had to be careful in their movements, for fear that Chi Yanhu would misunderstand and cause an unmanageable situation.

While the hunting team took a step back, Chi Yanhu took a step forward, seeming to be a bit cautious.

Whoosh~

Seeing the final outcome of the hunting team giving up their prey, what everyone never expected was that a feathered arrow suddenly shot out from the crowd, and shot the Red Flame Tiger over a distance of more than 20 steps in an instant!

The feathered arrow landed on the tiger's body, but it was unable to penetrate the thick tiger skin, and fell to the ground after rebounding.

The hunters were dumbfounded.

Zhang Shixiong couldn't believe his eyes, and shouted: "Who!?"

Who is so reckless?

How dare they take the initiative to provoke Chi Yanhu at this time, isn't this forcing everyone to die?

At this moment, Zhang Shixiong wished he could chop up the person who shot the feather arrow and swallow it alive.

If you want to seek death, this is not the way to seek death!
