Chapter 251: Dove Tiger Cubs
Just after the wolves were killed more than forty mountain wolves, a low wolf howl suddenly came from the dark woods. The wolf pack, which was originally fighting to the death, heard the low wolf howl and immediately stopped attacking. The dozens of surviving mountain wolves then slowly retreated.
Chen Hao, who was about to kill, saw the wolf pack retreating, immediately turned around and asked Liu Ji: "Lord, the wolf pack is soft again, should we chase after it?"
Seeing the wolves retreating, Liu Ji immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After all, watching huge mountain wolves pounce on him, it was still a bit scary.
Hearing Chen Hao’s question, Liu Ji shook his head and said, “So many wolves have been slaughtered, and roasted wolf legs are enough for you to eat. You should hurry up and roast the wolf legs!”
After the wolves retreated, the nine generals under Liu Ji cut off more than twenty wolf legs, peeled them and roasted them on the bonfire. Because there were too many wolf legs, several other bonfires were lit.
There were more than 40 dead mountain wolves, with more than 100 wolf legs. Liu Ji and the others could not finish it in one meal. Even if there were several big-bellied men, more than 20 wolf legs were enough. So Dian Wei, Gao Chong and the others then carried more than 40 dead wolves and threw them into the mountain stream in the distance, saving so many dead wolves and causing trouble for other carnivores.
While Liu Ji and others were baking wolf legs, there were another sound of wolf howls coming from afar. Liu Ji frowned, "Can the wolf pack not retreat yet, and he has been experiencing us?"
At this time, Zheng Wei said: "Lord, although the wolf holds a grudge, the mountain wolf living in the Anxing Mountains and Yunwu Mountains are very smart animals. The strength we just showed will definitely make the wolves afraid. The wolf pack of this mountain wolf should not have any more ideas!"
Wang Ji nodded and said, "Lord, senior brother is right. Master once said, although the wolf pack of mountain wolves almost ruled the Anxing Mountains and Yunwu Mountains, the wolf pack of mountain wolves is actually bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. We just killed more than forty mountain wolves at once. This wolf pack is definitely as far as it can hide."
As soon as Wang Ji finished speaking, suddenly a few tiger roars came from the dark woods, and it sounded like two tigers.
Liu Ji heard the roar of a tiger and couldn't help but say, "It's not that the wolf pack has encountered a tiger, right?"
Immediately afterwards, the howling of the wolf and the roar of the tiger echoed each other. It was the posture that the wolf pack and the two tigers were fighting.
Liu Ji was very interested in the battle between the wolves and the two tigers. Chen Hao and Chen Zhong also encouraged Liu Ji to watch the fun. However, Liu Ji thought that it was better to have less than more things, so he did not join in the fun. Instead, he asked everyone to continue to roast the wolf's legs, fill their stomachs quickly, and then have a good rest. He would climb a mountain tomorrow!
The howling of the wolf and the roar of the tiger finally lasted for a stick of incense before disappearing. At this time, Chen Hao, who was scratching his head, said to Liu Ji: "Lord, can I go over and see if it is the wolf pack that wins or the tiger that wins?"
Chen Zhong also said, "Lord, I also want to see the tiger living in the Anxing Mountains. Maybe it will be a tiger. I have grown up so old that I haven't seen a living tiger yet!"
Jiuhu is a very rare tiger that lives on the vast grassland. The Anxing Mountains and Yunwu Mountains adjacent to the grassland are also one of the habitats of Jiuhu.
When Liu Ji heard Jiu Hu's name, he became interested again, "Is there Jiu Hu in Anxing Mountains? The Hu Lu gave me the title of Jiu Hu in the Great Jin Dynasty, but I have never seen what Jiu Hu looks like!"
Zheng Wei next to him said, "Lord, there is indeed a tiger in Anxing Mountains, but it is very rare. My master and I have been studying here for more than ten years, but I have never seen a tiger in a tiger. I have seen many ordinary tigers."
Liu Ji looked at the wolf legs that were not cooked on the fire, looked up at the night sky, and said to everyone: "Chen Hao, Chen Zhong, Liu Tu, Liu Te, Zheng Wei, you five of you went to the front with this prefect to see if the one who was fighting with the wolf was Jiuhu? The rest of the people stay here and continue to roast the wolf legs!"
There were no clouds today. The sky was covered with stars except for two bright moons. In this world, by identifying certain stars, you can also identify the direction so that you will not get lost at night.
Then Liu Ji took Chen Hao, Chen Zhong, Liu Tu, Liu Te and Zheng Wei to the place where the sound of wolf howling and tiger roars just now. After walking about a mile, Liu Ji and the others smelled a strong smell of blood. Soon a tragic battlefield appeared in front of Liu Ji and the others.
In the radius of dozens of square meters in front of a cave, there were at least a dozen corpses of mountain wolves. Each of the corpses of mountain wolves were bloodied. At the entrance of the cave, there was a giant tiger that had already fallen to the ground, and there was a shaking giant tiger next to it. The remaining mountain wolves in the wolf pack were gone again.
"Jiuhu! It's really Jihu! Or two Jihu, it seems to be a male and a female!" Zheng Wei said to Liu Ji.
With the light of the torch and the moonlight, Liu Ji saw the two doves at the entrance of the cave, both of which were about four meters long and at least 1.80 cm tall, which was like two prehistoric giant beasts.
Just after Liu Ji, Chen Hao, Chen Zhong, Liu Tu, Liu Te and Zheng Wei came over, the Jiuhu, who was still standing, roared at Liu Ji and the others weakly, and suddenly fell to the ground with a "thump--" sound.
Chen Hao said to Liu Ji urgently: "Lord, let me go and see how these two tigers are like? If you can raise one such tiger, you will be so majestic!"
Chen Zhong also said: "Lord, my brother and I will go over and take a look!"
Liu Ji nodded and said, "Be careful, don't let Jiuhu hurt!"
Chen Hao and Chen Zhong came to the two Jiuhu who were lying on the ground. They found that both Jiuhu had no sound. They couldn't help but shake their heads. Suddenly, some sounds came from the cave. Chen Hao took a torch and shot into the cave. He immediately turned around and shouted to Liu Ji in surprise: "Law, come here, there are Jiuhu's cubs in the cave!"
When Liu Ji heard this, he quickly brought Liu Tu, Liu Te and Zheng Wei to the entrance of the cave. Although the two tigers were gone, the power of the tiger lying here was still there, and Liu Ji's heart beat faster when he saw it.
At this time, Chen Hao and Chen Zhong had already held two cubs in their arms. Each cub was less than two puppies long. The eyes of the four cubs had not yet opened. It seemed that they had just been born, and the two adult cubs at the entrance of the cave should be the parents of the four cubs.
