Chapter 72: Tiger's Mouth (2)
Just as the hungry tiger was about to pounce on the two white-clad women after killing the last servant, a golden-armored knight suddenly appeared outside the forest with horseshoes, holding a bow and arrow, and a huge shield standing upright on his warhorse.
"Sister, they've come back to save us again!" The slightly younger woman in white clothes exclaimed tearfully.
"Really, that's great!" The white-clothed woman who was called sister also looked flustered and lifeless. Originally thought that the two sisters would die in the tiger's mouth, but unexpectedly they were able to turn things around.
"General, general don't go! You're not a match for him!" Cheng Yu was shocked and pale, like a hungry tiger. Even if Lü Bu came, he would have to temporarily retreat, but Liu Mang charged forward on horseback just the same.
"Damn!" Gao Shun was also stunned, that's not an ordinary prey, it's a fierce tiger, and a hungry one at that. As the saying goes, "people die for wealth, birds die for food", animals can go crazy for food sometimes.
"Damn it!" Only Liu Mang was bitterly smiling, and he almost cried. Whether in the past or now, tigers had an impact on him that stayed within the zoo, but this didn't hinder Liu Mang's definition of tigers - a land carnivore, a being at the top of the food chain.
From ancient times to the present, those who can defeat tigers are heroes and their stories will be passed down. But does anyone remember those who were eaten by tigers?
Liu Meng wouldn't have charged directly at the tiger even if he had a bit of brains, the only reason was that his war horse had a problem, Liu Meng's war horse was suddenly whipped away by Cheng Yu, but this damn war horse sniffed something while running and panicked, rushing in the direction it came from.
"Tiger!" Liu Mang's heart was now filled with the desire to die, but when his gaze fell on the faces of the two white-clad women below, he suddenly found them to be incredibly beautiful!
Two women in white clothes are like a masterpiece from heaven, delicate and beautiful beyond description. Moreover, they are twins. If there were only one of them, Liu Mang might not have been so stunned, after all, Lü Daxiaojie is also a great beauty. But once the two similar sister flowers are together, it's different.
All men have a wild hope, which is to be able to bring two sisters into their home one day.
What's more, the two sister flowers still had that flustered and delicate expression.
"Ma De is dead, anyway!" Liu Mang knew he couldn't turn back now, and the tiger had also set its sights on him. Rather than being killed in a sorry state, it was better to go out with a bang.
"You dare!" Liu Mang raised his hand holding the longbow and was about to shoot.
"Roar!" The tiger didn't care who Liu Mang was, to him there was only food and prey. Liu Mang had disturbed his hunt, so naturally he was classified as prey, and the tiger pounced on him fiercely.
"Whoosh!"
Liu Meng's bow and arrow for this half month were not in vain, drawing the bow was an arrow shot out, the longbow in his hand was strong and powerful, and the archery was also good, like a meteor shooting towards the fierce tiger.
"Plop!" The arrow shot into the flesh, crossing from the left side of the forehead and piercing straight through one of the tiger's ears.
"Good arrow!" Gao Shun couldn't help but praise, this arrow was clearly aimed at the tiger's skull, strong and powerful. If it wasn't for the last critical moment, the fierce tiger shook its head and dodged this arrow, otherwise that arrow would have pierced through the tiger's skull just now.
But didn't hit it, just didn't hit it.
The tiger, in pain, became even more ferocious and difficult to deal with, and suddenly leapt up and pounced on Liu Mang.
"Hiss!" The tiger pounce is an instinct of the tiger and also a must-kill skill, under which basically no prey can survive. For example, those three dead men were killed by the tiger's pounce, with their necks bitten to death and suffocated.
"Not good!" Liu Mang also knew that he had provoked the tiger's ferocity, and now turning back would definitely not be in time. A lazy donkey rolling over didn't care about its image anymore, and directly jumped down from the horseback.
"Neigh! Neigh! Neigh!" It was the horse's cry, Liu Mang had escaped but that warhorse was unlucky, originally the tiger's presence made it hard for him to stand up straight, now another tiger pounced and knocked it to the ground.
The neck was immediately bitten by the big mouth of the blood basin, and the laryngeal prominence and neck rack were torn apart like paper in the tiger's mouth.
Surging blood instantly dyed red a patch of grass under the war horse.
"Gudong, gudong!" The war horse twitched a few times and then lost its vital signs, becoming a dead body. Fresh blood surged into the tiger's mouth, making it swallow greedily, and instead put Liu Mang aside.
"Ahhhhh!" The two women in white clothes shrieked, causing the tiger to stop its devouring and shift its attention back to them.
"Damn it!" Liu Mang was about to burst out in curses again. Originally, the tiger might have spared them after eating the war horse, which had been stimulated by its own blood, but now it's all over.
Not to mention these two little girls, even Liu Mang himself did not dare to face the tiger head-on. With one swipe of the tiger's paw, two lives could be lost in an instant.
Can't let this beast kill people again, life is always fragile, Liu Mang can't just watch two girls being bitten to death by a tiger in front of him, or he will lose face.
"Roar!" Liu Mang also let out a loud roar. He had watched Animal Planet, and in the eyes of animals, there were two things that could not be tolerated: one was stealing food, and the other was provoking and stealing territory. For these two things, they would fight to the death.
Liu Meng didn't care whether he sounded like a tiger or not, as long as his voice was loud enough. Under his furious roar, the sound of the real tiger was actually drowned out.
"Roar, come on! Aren't you going to eat people? Come on, roar!" Liu Mang shouted angrily and provocatively.
As expected, the tiger gave up and two white-clad women slowly walked towards Liu Mang's direction.
"Run, run quickly!" Liu Mang shouted at the two women.
Upon hearing Liu Mang's shout, the two white-clad women finally stirred. The slightly smaller one had been so frightened by the tiger that she couldn't move, and it was only with the help of her older sister, who half-pulled and half-supported her, that they managed to escape in one direction.
"General, don't panic! Cheng Yu is here!" Cheng Yu and Gao Shun also rushed over to see Liu Miao facing off against a fierce tiger, shouting as he prepared to charge forward on horseback.
"Get back!" Liu Meng shouted suddenly, Cheng Yu and Gao Shun were riding war horses, after all, war horses are animals, and animals would naturally be afraid of the king of the mountains. Just now, Liu Meng's war horse was scared stiff by the tiger's roar and didn't dare to move. If Cheng Yu rushed over again and got thrown off by the war horse, it would be hilarious.
Cheng Yu and Gao Shun were the two who followed Liu Mang to go hunting, neither of them brought any handy weapons, only a longbow in their hands, do they want to compete with the tiger in archery?
Now it's just Liu Mang's white sheep saint clothes on his body that can protect him from being killed by the tiger, and with a giant shield he can hold on for a while.
"Cheng Yu, hurry up and go to the military camp to let the Imperial Guard come over and rescue me!" Liu Mang ordered towards Cheng Yu.
"But General! Although there are only bows and arrows, Cheng Yu cannot bear to watch Liu Mang die!"
"Hurry up and go, I won't die for a while!" Liu Meng shouted loudly. Now that Cheng Yu was left behind, there was no use in staying. If they rushed forward, they might end up as prey to the tiger's mouth. The only way out was to rush to the military camp to call for help. As long as the Imperial Guard arrived with hundreds of cavalrymen, even the king of the forest would have to retreat.
"Here I am!" Gao Shun nodded, opening his longbow. He was not skilled in martial arts either, and might even be inferior to Cheng Yu in battle, but Gao Shun had a good hand with the bow and arrow, and could provide some cover for Liu Mang.
"General Gao, I'm leaving Wang Shang to you!" Cheng Yu gritted his teeth and turned his horse's head towards the military camp, galloping away rapidly. "Wang Shang, wait for me, you must wait for me!"
