Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 549: Meng Tao's Behind-the-Scenes Footage, Lin Yuan Taming the Tiger
Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Meng Tao immediately said with a bitter face: "Why me again? Can't I do it?"

"Because you are the security director, this is your job responsibility. If Raja drowns and the movie is boycotted and fails at the box office, it would be your dereliction of duty." Lin Yuan said, trying hard to suppress a smile.

"I'm committing a sin. Why did I have to rush over early to participate in the filming?" Meng Tao wailed.

Seeing Lin Yuan refusing to give in, Meng Tao knew he couldn't escape.

So he took a few deep breaths, as if he had made up his mind, and walked in front of Raja.

Meng Tao lifted the tiger's head with great effort, cursing in his heart: Damn, it's such a heavy head! Do I feel like I'm holding up the head of a 700-pound fat man?
He closed his eyes helplessly, choosing to turn a blind eye.

If leaving tactile memories is inevitable, at least don't let the visual information further pollute your pure mind, otherwise you will never be able to sleep well for the rest of your life.

He approached the tiger's head tremblingly, tried hard to pry open its mouth, and moved forward with his eyes closed.

"Pfft!"

Seeing Meng Tao's heroic look, the old director couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Do you have any humanity? I'm so miserable, and you still laugh at me!" Meng Tao protested loudly.

"Meng Tao, that's enough, stop." The old director waved and shouted at him.

"What?" Meng Tao turned his head to look at Lin Yuan, his eyes full of anticipation.

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, and stopped teasing him.

How could Meng Tao really do this?

The tiger's mouth is so big, how can Meng Tao block it tightly? If it can't be blocked, how can air blow in?

What's more, with Meng Tao's human lung capacity, it is impossible to blow enough air into Raja's lungs.

If Meng Tao really gave Raja mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, it would be a joke.

"Okay, stop, I was just kidding." Lin Yuan interrupted.

Meng Tao was overjoyed: "Really? I don't have to give Tiger artificial respiration anymore?"

Lin Yuan didn't answer, but smiled and waved.

Saragama came forward with a large mask that had been prepared long ago, pried open Raja's big mouth, and fastened the mask firmly on his face.

The mask tightly wrapped around Raja's face, leaving no gaps.

This is a special oxygen mask with a long tube at the other end connected to an oxygen concentrator.

Seeing that Lin Yuan was already prepared, Meng Tao said aggrievedly: "Since you are already prepared, why do you still deliberately make trouble for me?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It's for the behind-the-scenes footage. Otherwise, where would we get the footage for the ending footage?"

Only then did Meng Tao realize that he had been ambushed again.

Just now, he closed his eyes, held up the tiger's head with a fearless attitude, and looked like he was going to kiss it. It was all captured on camera.

"Don't you think this scene is funny? How much can the box office increase if it is put at the end of the film?" Lin Yuan continued to stimulate him.

"My reputation! Lin Yuan! I'm going to fight you!" Meng Tao rushed up with a strange cry.

But Lin Yuan grabbed him and made him lie on the ground side by side with Raja, unable to resist at all.

"You two can stop fighting for a while before coming back. Rescue is the most important thing now." The old director stepped forward to mediate, but silently hid the behind-the-scenes tape that had just been filmed.

This behind-the-scenes footage will be of great help in promoting the film, and Meng Tao must not be allowed to take it back.

"Well, let's save the tiger first, and don't let it cause any big problems later." Lin Yuan gave in and let Meng Tao go.

At this time, the ventilator was fully started. Lin Yuan came to Raja's abdomen and prepared to start cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Lin Yuan's hand reached into the thick fur on Raja's abdomen. Unlike the relatively rough fur on the tiger's back, the fur on the abdomen still felt quite soft even though it was wet.

Therefore, Lin Yuan's hand was able to move quickly under the abdomen and touch Raja's ribs.

As we all know, tigers have thirteen rows of ribs, and the lungs are located between the third and fifth rows of ribs when counting from the head to the tail.

He quickly found the corresponding position and began to press hard.

When Lin Yuan pressed his arms down suddenly.

"Crack!"

There was a crisp sound.

"Damn it! Lin Yuan, you didn't use too much force and broke its ribs, did you?" Meng Tao screamed.

"That's the sound of water being squeezed out of the lungs. How can I break the tiger's ribs with my limited strength?" Lin Yuan said helplessly.

The tiger's pulmonary pleura is quite thick, so Lin Yuan has to press with all his strength to squeeze out the water.

Lin Yuan was even worried that his strength was not enough to effectively squeeze the tiger's chest.

He exerted force, trying to squeeze out the water Raja had just drunk, and also guiding its cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

As Lin Yuan pressed again and again, he felt like a worker using a blower in front of a steel furnace. Every squeeze could force the air out of Raja's lungs, but the incoming air would quickly push his hands away.

Lin Yuan knew that his actions were beginning to take effect.

Tigers have very strong lung function. Lin Yuan has read relevant research data and found that the average diameter of tiger alveoli is about 412.54μm.

This is twice the average diameter of human alveoli, which is 200.12 μm.

This also means that tigers' oxygen utilization efficiency is much higher than that of humans, which is the basis for their ability to perform high-explosive exercises.

Now, he just needs to reactivate Raja's powerful cardiopulmonary function...

No, after pressing a few times, Lin Yuan felt that Raja's cardiopulmonary function was recovering on its own, and his actions only served to assist and accelerate the process.

Even if he did nothing, Raja would probably wake up soon.

Sure enough, after pressing for another half a minute, Raja's chest and abdomen began to rise and fall noticeably, which was a manifestation of his spontaneous breathing.

Lin Yuan indicated that the ventilator could be removed, and then asked everyone to evacuate the area immediately.

Raja might wake up at any time. Today he was injured and frightened. It would be troublesome if he woke up and caused casualties to the crew out of self-preservation instinct.

The director and Meng Tao followed Lin Yuan's instructions and immediately retreated to a distant place with their equipment.

But Saragama did not leave, he just stepped back a little more than ten steps.

He held a tranquilizer gun tightly in both hands and stared at Raja cautiously.

As Lin Yuan's security guard, this is his duty.

Lin Yuan squatted beside Raja, silently waiting for it to wake up.

Under normal circumstances, Raja should be put back into the cage before he wakes up.

But Lin Yuan did not do so. He had to strike while the iron was hot and completely tame Raja while he was still in a state of shock.

Whenever you tame a wild beast, you must make it obvious that it is afraid.

Only when it fears you and recognizes that you are the more powerful superior can you make it obey.

This was also the reason why Lin Yuan had to continue pushing Raja underwater ruthlessly when he begged him for mercy just now.

At that moment, Raja's heart must have been filled with despair and fear.

Lin Yuan's cold-blooded and ruthless behavior left a mark of fear in Raja's heart, making him instinctively afraid of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan even anticipated that Raja's first reaction after waking up and seeing him would most likely be to run away immediately.

So he took out a rope and tied Raja's hind legs tightly to prevent it from running away as soon as it woke up.

Although there was a guardrail not far away, it couldn't run far, but Lin Yuan couldn't communicate properly with it while chasing after it.

As for Raja's front legs, Lin Yuan deliberately did not tie them up because he would need its front paws to cooperate when communicating with it later.

After tying up Raja's hind legs, Lin Yuan walked to the tiger's head and checked its head with his hands.

Just now, he used twelve-point elbow strikes to hit its head seven or eight times, but it seemed that there were only some minor skin injuries?

The tiger's physical strength is really abnormal!

Lin Yuan's hand was touching Raja's chubby round head.

I have to say, the feeling of touching a tiger's head is completely different from touching a cat or dog.

The heads of cats and dogs feel very bony.

In other words, you can easily touch the hard skull underneath the fur.

And when you touch the tiger's head, you can clearly feel the thick muscles through the rough fur.

Just as he was thinking this, Lin Yuan felt a hard bone at the place where his elbow had hit him.

This bone is located at the top of the skull, with two large grooves on both sides and a cockscomb-like protrusion in the middle of the top of the head.

He knew that this was the sagittal crest, a bone found in many animals, which was used to grow and stabilize muscles.

As we all know, muscles need to be attached to bones and flesh to grow.

Therefore, many animals have a "sagittal crest" on the top of their skulls that is like a rooster's comb, so that more muscles can grow in this area of ​​the head.

"It turns out that my twelve-point elbow strikes all hit the last solid position of this muscle. No wonder the effect is not good." Lin Yuan silently summed up his experience.

"If I want to cause effective damage, where should I hit with my elbow for the best effect?" With this question, Lin Yuan began to feel around on the tiger's head.

Seeing this scene, the old director and Meng Tao in the distance were stunned.

"What is he doing? He holds the tiger's head and keeps touching it. Is he petting the tiger as if it were a big cat?" asked the old director.

"Of course not! I know Lin Yuan too well. He was trying to figure out which part of the tiger's head was more vulnerable. Those elbow strikes just now didn't cause any effective damage, and he was obviously very unwilling to accept that." Meng Tao said.

"It's outrageous. The filming has been completed, but he still hasn't forgotten to study this." The old director could only sigh, it was indeed Lin Yuan.

"This is his self-esteem as a martial artist," Meng Tao replied.

At this time, Lin Yuan had already touched the tiger's head all over. He put Raja's head down in despair:

No weak points were found!

Raja, or all tigers, have such compact and strong head bones, coupled with thick muscle protection, that it is conservatively estimated that their ability to withstand blows is ten or even twenty times that of humans.

No wonder experienced African hunters always say, "When you encounter a cat like a lion, never shoot at its head.

Unless you shoot the bullet into their eye sockets, your expected headshot will not be possible.

The correct way is to shoot them in the heart and lungs."

Now Lin Yuan felt relieved. Even hunting rifle bullets might not cause fatal damage to Tiger Head, so it seemed easy to accept that his elbow could not seriously injure Raja.

At this moment, Raja's eyelids twitched a few times.

It's waking up.

A few seconds later, Raja opened his eyes in confusion. It was obvious that his brain was still in a chaotic state and had not yet finished booting up.

If he were human, he would definitely ask at this moment: "Who am I? Where am I? Am I still alive?"

In the last moment before losing consciousness, what was written into its mind was the extreme fear between life and death, and it kept sinking into the darkness at the bottom of the water.

This feeling is enough to make any creature collapse. Soon, Raja came to his senses and looked around in horror.

The face that frightened it was the first thing that caught Raja's eyes.

"Roar!"

Raja roared angrily and struggled to get up, but found that his hind legs were tied tightly.

Raja struggled desperately, but was soon interrupted by severe pain.

As it exerted force, the straps binding its hind legs cut deeply into its muscles, staining the ground red with blood.

This kind of restraint is made of high-strength material. One as thick as a little finger can withstand the pulling force of lifting a truck.

It is impossible to break free with Raja's strength.

But this restraint was very thin, and the harder Raja used it, the more he would hurt himself.

The pain made Raja stop struggling. He chose to support himself on the ground with his two front paws and stood up with his legs together.

At this moment, it felt even more fearful.

So it struggled, using its two front paws to exert force, and staggered back a step, looking quite embarrassed.

While taking a step back, Raja did not forget to roar at Lin Yuan.

"Ouch!"

Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan immediately laughed.

He saw the weakness and fear in Raja's actions.

That roar was just an instinctive self-defense reaction, not a real threat to Lin Yuan.

That step back was Raja's real thought at this moment:
It's scared! It's scared of me!

The tiger is an advanced animal, which means it has more complex and advanced emotions.

Like humans, it also experiences joy, hatred, fear, and satisfaction...

Therefore, when all its attempts to kill Lin Yuan today failed and it was almost drowned in the water by Lin Yuan, for Raja, Lin Yuan was an absolutely terrifying demon who posed a fatal threat.

At this time, Raja was unable to compare the size and strength of the two based on his hunting experience, because the result of the actual combat had already made him realize that he almost died.

Now that even his hind legs were trapped, how could he have the confidence to face Lin Yuan's threat?

At this moment, the only thing left in its heart was the instinctive fear of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan immediately caught this feeling of fear.

Seeing Raja take a step back, Lin Yuan immediately took a step forward.

"Roar!" Raja roared again and took a step back.

This action is like a terrified person saying, "Don't come over here! Don't push me!"

But Lin Yuan simply ignored Raja's roar and continued to take a step forward.

He responded with a silent action: "I'm coming! What can you do?"

Raja could only take another step back in horror.

Before it could take a complete step back, it discovered in despair that Lin Yuan had taken another step forward.

Lin Yuan firmly controlled the situation on the court. Every time Raja took a step back, he would only take one step forward, never more.

In the process of taming a tiger, pressure must be added slowly, layer by layer, so as to gradually break down its defenses and make it completely surrender.

That is to say, we should use the method of boiling a frog in warm water, constantly trying to break through the tiger's bottom line until it can retreat.

Never use too much force at once. After all, a tiger is a ferocious beast and may choose to fight to the death.

This will only result in a dead or mentally broken tiger, not a tiger as obedient as a dog.

When Lin Yuan approached again, Raja had no choice but to retreat again.

"Snapped!"

Raja took another step back and felt the wet flow of water on his hind legs - he had been forced to the edge of the pond and his legs were once again in the water.

Upon realizing this, Raja immediately jumped up as if he had been electrocuted, his hair standing on end.

Falling back to the ground, it looked back at the pool in horror, refusing to take another step back.

The experience of nearly drowning just now made it absolutely determined not to go into the water again.

This is almost similar to human PTSD. After all, the fear of impending death can easily leave an indelible psychological shadow.

After pushing Raja to this point, Lin Yuan knew that he could no longer force him to retreat.

At this time, Lin Yuan waved his hand, and Saragama, who was not far away, immediately handed him a sharp spear.

The shaft of this spear is made of high-strength carbon fiber steel, but it is different from the underwater spear that Lin Yuan used when hunting tiger sharks. This is a standard Overlord spear used on land.

Lin Yuan took it with one hand and pointed the finger at Raja.

If Lin Yuan had been unarmed, he would have been helpless against Raja, but with a weapon like a spear in his hand, it would have been too easy for him to stab Raja to death.

Although Raja didn't know how deadly human weapons were, the moment Lin Yuan got the spear, the beast's instinct immediately told it:

This hairless monkey in front of me is too dangerous!

If you don't run, you will die!

The extremely sharp tip of the spear and the gleaming cold edge are a language that can transcend race.

How could Raja not immediately understand this deadly threat?

If it could run, it would definitely run away immediately.

But the fact that his hind legs were tied made Raja want to cry but unable to.

I can’t fight back, and I can’t run away either. What should I do?

At this moment, the little brain in Raja's head was almost burned dry.

Suddenly, a biological instinct that had not been activated for a long time occupied its brain.

Translated into human language, it means: "To survive, there is no shame!"

When one thought is clear, the world becomes broad.

Raja's legs suddenly went weak and he fell to the ground, letting out a soft cry.

"Woo~"

This scene made Lin Yuan confused.

He intended to subdue Raja, but he didn't expect it to kneel so quickly?

I haven't even used all my tricks yet, and you're surrendering just like that?
Wouldn't all my careful preparations be in vain?
Seeing that Lin Yuan did not react, Raja turned over with his abdomen facing the sky, exposing his belly.

People who have raised cats will know that this action is almost the most flattering and humble way for cats to please.

At this moment, Lin Yuan felt like the German army facing the French army in World War II:
I haven't even used my full strength yet, and you've already collapsed like lightning and begged for mercy?
He stepped forward helplessly and scratched Raja's hairy chin with his hand.

Seeing Lin Yuan's action, Raja closed his eyes spinelessly, and cooperated with Lin Yuan's hand with a look of enjoyment, rubbing his fingertips.

Seeing this scene, the old director and Meng Tao in the distance were stunned:

"Aren't tigers and cats different? Only cats flatter humans, and tigers look down on humans?" Meng Tao said in disbelief.

"Have you ever been licked by that super beautiful Aquaman scumbag?" the old director asked back.

"Yes, what's wrong?" The faces of Miranda Kerr, Scarlett Johansson and others flashed through Meng Tao's mind.

Even Depp's girlfriend, Amber Heard, secretly slipped him a note, but he didn't accept the temptation because he thought a friend's wife should not be bullied.

"Do those super beauties behave the same in front of you as they do in front of other suitors?" the old director replied.

Hearing the old director's answer, Meng Tao immediately understood his analogy.

Yes, tigers are indeed the king of beasts, and we have never seen them show such flattery in front of humans.

But that’s because no human can achieve the same level as Lin Yuan, so naturally they cannot stimulate this side of the tiger.

If there were someone else like Lin Yuan, who had fought with the tiger for so many rounds and almost drowned it, the tiger would have been just as flattering to him.

At this time, Lin Yuan was conveying his intentions to Raja: "If you want to survive, you must absolutely obey my words!"

"Absolute obedience, no second thoughts!" Raja's answer roughly means this when translated.

Lin Yuan waved his hand, and Saragama beside him immediately brought a large plate of mutton.

Raja, who had not eaten for several days, was already starving.

Looking at the delicious food in front of him, his eyes immediately turned red and his breathing became heavier.

Lin Yuan put the mutton on the ground, and Raja immediately came over anxiously.

But Lin Yuan immediately expressed his intention: "Don't eat it!"

Raja seemed to be under a spell and immediately froze in the middle of the action.

Lin Yuan clearly felt the intense struggle in its heart: Should it obey its new master?
Eating is the instinct of wild animals and the most difficult desire to suppress.

If Raja's awe of Lin Yuan can overcome his desire to eat, then the tiger taming will be almost successful.

Raja's body trembled slightly, but his head slowly moved towards the plate of mutton.

The mutton was getting closer and closer to it, so close that it could lick it with just a stretch of its tongue.

At this moment, it caught a glimpse of Lin Yuan's flashing gun tip out of the corner of its eye.

The mirror-like tip of the gun reflected the lake behind it...

Raja shuddered violently and retreated a long distance.

It raised its head aggrievedly and looked at Lin Yuan with pleading eyes. Its meaning was very clear: "Please give me something to eat. I'm really hungry."

Lin Yuan’s reply was direct: “Only one bite!”

After getting permission, Raja immediately pounced on the mutton.

It opened its mouth wide and swallowed a large piece of mutton.

It was so delicious that Raja, who had not eaten for many days, felt the ultimate enjoyment after taking a bite of mutton.

But the delicious food completely occupied its brain and it couldn't remember Lin Yuan's instructions at all.

When it opened its mouth again, a sharp pain came from its face.

"Snapped!"

The hard carbon fiber gun barrel hit it hard in the face.
