Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 219 Tigress
morning.

Before dawn, Xu Binghu and his son Xu Ran opened their eyes at the same time. It had been like this since Xu Ran passed on the innate energy to Xu Binghu.

During these five months, the father and son have long been accustomed to it.

Xu Binghu left carefully to avoid disturbing Lian Ji who was sleeping soundly.

He put on his shoes, walked into the yard, picked up a wooden stick beside him, and started swinging it.

The stick's movements, from being weak at the beginning, slowly became loud and creaky later. Every time the stick was danced, it could make bursts of sound in the air.

Xu Ran, on the other hand, sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced.

When Xu Binghu's stick started to dance, it was time for Lian Ji to wake up.

When Xu Binghu saw Lian Ji coming out, he stopped what he was doing, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "My dear, all the internal injuries I suffered from hunting over the past five months have now fully recovered!"

When Lian Ji heard this, a mixture of happiness and sadness flashed in her eyes. She stroked Xu Binghu's solid chest and choked out tears, "Husband, you've worked so hard!"

Xu Binghu, "These are all trivial matters!"

Lian Ji didn't say anything, but just wiped her tears silently.

"Although I don't know how my internal injuries healed, but it's a good thing that I've recovered!"

"To celebrate this great event, I decided to go hunting in the mountains today."

Xu Binghu, holding a wooden stick and carrying a bow and arrow on his back, went up the mountain under the watchful eyes of Lian Ji and Xu Ran.

Xu Binghu stepped onto the narrow path, walked past the huge trees that blocked out the view of the sky, and then he saw an extremely winding and rugged path.

On both sides of this rugged path, the ground was covered with bones, some of which were animals and some of which were humans. If Lian Ji were here, she would definitely be scared to death. However, Xu Binghu had walked this path countless times and was no longer surprised.

After walking along this rugged path, what comes into view is a huge lake. On the lake, there is only a single-plank bridge that can only accommodate one person.

The single-plank bridge was broken and shaky.

Seeing this, Xu Binghu held his breath and looked ahead intently.

This is the first checkpoint into the mountains.

This level can only be passed by crossing a single-plank bridge.

Under the lake, there are several huge black shadows swimming, and you can even see an eye emitting red light moving freely under the lake.

No one knows how big this lake is. Previously, someone from Dahuangbian Village wanted to bypass the lake and enter the mountains, but unfortunately, after walking for a day and a night, they still didn't see any trace of the edge, so they had to give up this idea.

Xu Binghu, holding a wooden stick and carrying a bow and arrow, stepped carefully onto the single-plank bridge.

The moment he stepped on it, the dark shadows at the bottom of the lake began to swim around, as if waiting for Xu Binghu to fall down.

Xu Binghu sneered and then walked past quickly.

"This trick is just enough to scare the newcomers, but forget it for me!"

When the dark shadow at the bottom of the lake saw that there was no one on the wooden bridge, it sank to the bottom of the lake and disappeared.

Xu Binghu did not stop and walked forward quickly.

"Squeak!"

Just after crossing the lake, Xu Binghu heard a rustling sound coming from not far away.

"It's a rabbit."

Xu Binghu was overjoyed. As an experienced hunter, identifying prey by listening to the sound was the most basic thing, not to mention that there were rabbits, the most abundant ones in the mountains.

really.

From where the sound came from, a gray figure rushed out from the bushes at a speed as fast as a hunting dog.

"These rabbits have lived in these mountains for generations. They have evolved to this point and can run so fast."

Without hesitation, Xu Binghu drew his bow and drew his arrow. Veins bulged on his arms and his eyes narrowed as he stared at the fleeing rabbit.

Immediately, "Swoosh~" a sound of breaking through the air was heard.

"Squeak~", two faint sounds were heard and quickly dissipated.

Xu Binghu walked quickly forward to the place where the sound was last heard and pulled out a hare shot by an arrow from the bushes.

I saw a big bloody hole on the hare, as big as a fist, which shows how powerful the arrow was.

"My strength has increased tremendously in the past few months." Xu Binghu couldn't help but admire.

Ever since receiving massage from Xu Ran, he has had endless energy every day, his strength has been increasing day by day, and the internal injuries he had sustained in earlier years have also been gradually healed.

Therefore, during these five months, he began to slowly increase the strength of the bow. The greater the strength of the bow, the harder it was to stretch, and at the same time, the greater the power. Otherwise, how could he leave a fist-sized blood hole on the hare.

"Not only has my strength increased, but my eyesight has also become extremely sharp."

You know, when Xu Ran was just born, although he could bring back a hare every day, it took him a whole day to catch that prey because the hare was too fast and difficult to hit.

But now, he can shoot his arrows without missing a beat, which is enough to show that his eyesight has improved.

"Look at the bloody holes on the rabbit. Its entire body is rotten and there is very little meat left. It looks like it can only be used as bait."

It seems that being too strong is not a good thing.

However, using hares as bait can yield greater rewards, of course, provided that one is strong enough.

"But one hare isn't enough. We need to prepare a few more."

After a while, Xu Binghu was holding five wild rabbits in his hands, and without exception, all of them had big holes on their bodies.

"These five rabbits should be enough for me to lure bigger prey!"

After saying that, he carried the rabbit and walked deeper into the cave.

After a while, he came to a forest according to the route he remembered.

He walked up to a tree, touched the bark, and suddenly felt a bulge.

"Found it!" Xu Binghu said with a smile.

This is the mark left by generations of hunters in the Great Wilderness Village, in order to mark this place for future generations.

This mark is a beast's claw, which means that all the prey here are extremely ferocious beasts.

For the hunters from the Great Wilderness Village, entering here is undoubtedly like stepping into the gates of hell.

But Xu Binghu is now very confident in his own strength. What is the gate of hell for others may not be a impossible task for him.

Just as he was about to go in, he heard a sound coming from not far away. He turned around and found that they were villagers from Dahuangbian Village.

The man also recognized Xu Binghu, and seeing his actions, he guessed that he wanted to enter the dangerous area.

"Xu Binghu, are you sure you want to go in?"

Xu Binghu nodded, "Yeah!"

"Look at the rabbit in your hand. It proves that you have a good harvest today. There is no need to go in and take risks!"

Xu Binghu continued, "These rabbits don't have much meat left. They're inedible!"

As he said this, he lifted up the rabbit to show the hunter the bloody hole.

When the man saw it clearly, he swallowed and said, "Xu Binghu, your strength."

“Luckily there was some improvement!”

"In that case, I won't stop you. It's better to be careful. But I want to remind you that you have a crying baby at home. I've seen Xu Ran, he's very cute!"

Xu Binghu smiled and said, "It's okay!"

After saying that, he walked in resolutely.

Seeing this, the hunter shook his head helplessly.

In fact, Xu Binghu entered the area of ​​wild beasts not only for prey, but more importantly for wild animal milk.

The animal milk obtained before outside the wild beast area could no longer support Xu Ran's consumption. In the wild beast area, all the animals with cubs were huge in size, otherwise, how could they give birth to cubs in such a dangerous area.

There must be more animal milk here than in other places.

That's why he entered this dangerous area.

Xu Ran is a genius, he will not let this little bit of animal milk hinder his development.

Xu Binghu walked carefully inside, holding a wooden stick in his hand, a blood-stained rifle on his waist, and a bow and arrow on his back.

As he walked, he smelled a foul odor not far away. After careful identification, Xu Binghu was overjoyed. "It's feces!"

Feces is how large beasts mark their territory.

According to the oral account of the old hunter in the village, in the wild beast area in the mountains, wherever there is feces, there are wild beasts.

The presence of feces means that the area has an owner. If other beasts enter, it will be regarded as an invasion of territory and the fight will continue until the death.

Xu Binghu squatted down, looked carefully in front of the feces, and then sniffed it.

"Hmm! This is tiger droppings."

In addition to explaining the secrets of the mountains to them, the village elders also taught them how to identify wild animals by distinguishing their feces, so he was able to recognize that this was the tiger's territory.

"The tiger, the king of beasts, is extremely ferocious and must not be taken lightly." Xu Binghu reminded himself.

"Roar!!"

Suddenly, an unyielding roar echoed throughout the entire area.

When Xu Binghu heard it, he immediately rushed to the source of the sound.

After a while, he saw bloodstains on the ground.

Following the bloodstains, he came to the source of the sound.

Looking closely, I saw a huge tiger lying on the ground in front of me, with blood constantly flowing out, soaking the land.

Next to the fallen tiger, there was another tiger, also bleeding and dying.

Looking closely, I saw that there were two young tiger cubs next to the surviving tiger, but they had collapsed on the ground and, from a distance, they looked no longer breathing.

"Look, there's a big fight going on between these two tigers!"

Xu Binghu quickly reconstructed what had happened.

It's clear that this is a turf war.

The owner of this territory should be the dying tiger lying on the ground.

It should be that the original owner was pregnant and about to give birth, but was discovered by another tiger, who wanted to kill her while she was giving birth and become the new owner of this territory.

As a result, the original owner was too strong and even in a weak state, he still killed the invaders. Unfortunately, the two cubs did not survive and the original owner became dying.

After figuring it out, Xu Binghu's face was overjoyed.

This is good news for him.

The original owner had just given birth to cubs and must have plenty of milk, and the tigress was still alive, so there was a chance to get milk from her.

But it's too dangerous.

After some thought, Xu Binghu made a decision.

"This tigress must have a lot of milk. If we can collect it all, we won't have to worry about Xiao Ran's milk for the next while!"

For the sake of his son, he would do it no matter how dangerous it was.

Immediately, he threw the rabbit in his hand and approached the tigress slowly and cautiously.

One step, two steps, three steps.
As the tigress's breathing became heavier, Xu Binghu became more nervous.

After all, this is the king of beasts. Even if his life is in danger and only one tenth of his breath is left, he is not someone he can touch at his current stage.

Therefore, he needs to be careful in everything to stay safe.

Soon, he walked slowly to the side of the tigress and saw that she had closed her eyes. Seeing this, Xu Binghu hurriedly took out the container of milk and started milking.

Unexpectedly, this process went extremely smoothly. Soon, he had finished filling the bottle with enough animal milk for Xu Ran to consume for the next week.

At this time, the tigress had no more milk.

"No more milk, gotta pull it!"

Just as the thought came to her mind, the tigress, who had originally closed her eyes, suddenly opened them, her eyes full of unwillingness.

Seeing this, Xu Binghu jumped up from the ground and retreated violently.

At the same time, he held the bow in his left hand and the arrow in his right hand, pulling the bowstring to its full length, and his veins bulged.

"call out!"

There was a sound of breaking through the air, and a silhouette flew towards the tigress at high speed.

"jingle!"

Then, a crisp steel sound was heard.

I saw that the arrow, which was extremely fast and powerful enough to penetrate mountains and break rocks, actually hit the tigress's skin and fell off, leaving only a mark on the tiger's skin.

Seeing this, Xu Binghu widened his eyes, unable to believe that the tigress's defense was so strong that the arrow he shot was completely ineffective.

The tigress who was lying down saw her two cubs who had died tragically.

"Roar!" A long roar resounded throughout the entire beast area, and the frightened birds flew out.

Immediately, he dragged his dying body and attacked Xu Binghu.

In a flash, a huge tiger head was less than three meters away from Xu Binghu.

Seeing this, Xu Binghu clenched the wooden stick in his hand and hit the tiger's head with force.

"Crack!"

It wasn't that something was wrong with the tigress, but rather that the stick broke when it hit her head.

That's right, it's broken.

Even though Xu Binghu is very strong now, even if he cannot match the tigress in front of him, he can still match her with 70% of her strength.

However, a wooden stick is a wooden stick and it could not withstand Xu Binghu's strength at all, so it broke at the critical moment.

Although it had no effect, the tigress was frightened by the attack and did not continue to attack Xu Binghu. Instead, she stopped and looked at Xu Binghu.

Xu Binghu also stared at the tigress, not daring to move.

He knew very well that this was the tigress's last gasp. As long as she could hold on for this period of time, given her injuries, she would die naturally without him having to do anything.

But the question is, how can we overcome this difficulty?
Just now, the wooden stick broke and the bow and arrow could not penetrate its defense. Now, all he had on him was the machete on his waist, except for the milk he had taken from it.

But a machete is essentially no different from a stick or a bow and arrow. With his current strength, he cannot resist the attack of the king of beasts.

It would be fine if it was any other wild beast, but it happened to be the strongest tiger in the beast area.

"Oh!" Xu Binghu sighed, "I thought I could find a lot of animal milk for Xiao Ran, but in the end, I can't bring it back."

Um?and many more!

"Beast milk!"

Xu Binghu muttered.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

That’s right, it’s animal milk.

"Even if this tigress is recovering, her injuries won't be diminished. She just gave birth and definitely hasn't fully recovered. We just need to attack her belly!"

This is a new hope after a dark period!

Unexpectedly, he could find a way out even in desperate situations.

The tigress seemed to see the expression on Xu Binghu's face, and the next moment, she pounced directly at him.

Seeing this, Xu Binghu immediately drew out his machete, held his breath, and stared at the tigress's flying figure, trying to find a flaw in it.

Suddenly, a warm current flowed through his eyes, and the same was true for all parts of his body. It felt as if Xu Ran was giving him a massage. Suddenly, endless strength was generated in his body.

Before he had time to think, the tigress was already in front of him.

Xu Binghu squatted down instantly, slid under the tigress's belly, and chopped straight at her belly with the knife in his right hand.

"Stab!"

A sound like rags being torn was heard.

Suddenly, a stream of boiling liquid spurted out and all over Xu Binghu's body, and his entire body was covered in blood.
