Traveling back to ancient times to determine the zodiac

Although Dong was in danger, he was an experienced hunter after all, so he was not panicked. He quickly bent down, rolled on the ground, and dodged to the side. The tiger spirit saw that it had not pounced on him, so it lifted its body and slapped him with its claws at lightning speed. Dong swung his stone axe and fought back, chopping at the tiger's claws that were in front of him.

With a "snap" sound, the tiger's claws were chopped. If it was an ordinary tiger, even if the claws did not break off, it would definitely be seriously injured. But this tiger was just like the dog king and the bull spirit, with thick skin and flesh, invulnerable to swords and guns, a true tiger spirit.

The yellow tiger spirit shrank its feet in pain, twisted its body, and swept across with its big tail as thick as an arm. Dong was caught off guard and was swept back ten steps. Before he could stand firm, the yellow tiger spirit made a move to pounce on him again. The tiger spirit was so strong that after only two rounds, Dong was out of breath and unable to resist.

Seeing that the bloody mouth was about to swallow Dong's head, at the critical moment, Xi behind shouted: "Evil tiger, let my brother go!" and threw the spear in his hand as hard as he could at the tiger monster, hitting the tiger monster in the face.

The yellow tiger demon screamed and gave up the east, turned around and rushed to the west. The west had no weapon and was panicking when Xia, Bei, Zhong, Heizi, Shugen, Shuye and others arrived, holding stone knives and stone axes and rushed to fight the tiger demon.

Although the tiger was very powerful, it could not withstand the large number of people and was soon hit seven or eight times. The pain made it turn around and run away.

Xia and Bei were about to chase after him, but Xiao Xing stopped them and advised, "Brother Xia, brothers, stop chasing. It's more important for us to get back to the cave."

"Xing, this tiger actually dared to attack us. How can we not get rid of it? Besides, my suede skirt has lost its hair, so it's a good opportunity to peel off its tiger skin and replace it." He asked reluctantly.

Before Xiaoxing could say anything, Zhi behind him said doubtfully: "My fellow warriors, we have never had tigers in Hongmeng. The appearance of this tiger today is a bit unusual... It's bad, it's bad, look quickly--" As he frowned and was speaking, Zhi looked up and saw that about a mile away, the yellow tiger spirit that had been chased away just now came back, and behind it was a group of tiger spirits and cat spirits.

"Oh no, oh no!" Xiao Xing shouted, "Brothers, so many tigers have come. I guess it must be the beast army sent by Nian to attack us again."

"Tigers walk alone, wolves travel in groups. Xing guessed correctly, this group of tigers must have been sent by the beast Nian." Zhi followed.

"Uncle Zhi is right. Brothers, this time the tiger is more powerful than the bison. Let's get ready for battle!" Dong wiped the sweat from his face, picked up the stone axe and said hurriedly.

"Brother Dong, there are only sixty of us, and there are hundreds of tigers. We are really finished now." Xi shouted dejectedly.

"Brother Xi is right. We are sure to be no match for so many tiger spirits. Uncle Zhi, shall we run away?" Dian, who had never seen such a big scene, almost wet his pants when he saw the aggressive tigers coming at him.

"Run away?" Zhi stared at the tigers charging at him and replied, "Lightning, a tiger is three times faster than a human, you can't run away."

"I can't win the fight, and I can't run away. So what can I do but sit and wait for death?"

"Dian, based on my fifty years of hunting experience, the more dangerous the situation is, the more you must not panic. Once you are afraid or nervous, you cannot make the right judgment. Therefore, the more dangerous the situation is, the more you must stay calm and composed." Zhi taught.

"Uncle Zhi is right." Feng also taught Dian: "Dian, it's useless for you to be afraid, just follow me, your big brother."

"Got it, Brother Feng." Dian Qiang replied calmly.

Zhi looked around and found a big poplar tree about ten feet away. The straight trunk was three feet high. The branches were very tall. Zhi pointed at the poplar tree and ordered everyone: "Warriors, there are so many tigers. We can't fight them head-on. There is a big poplar tree over there. Tigers can't climb trees. Let's quickly climb up the tree to hide."

"Uncle Zhi is right. Let's all quickly climb the trees to avoid it." Xing shouted.

The crowd did not dare to be careless and immediately turned around and ran towards the poplar tree. It happened in a flash, just when the crowd ran under the tree, the tiger spirits and cat spirits also rushed over and attacked the people.

"Uncle Zhi, take everyone up the tree quickly. West, north, center, and bottom, let's shoot arrows together to provide cover." Dong gave the orders while taking out a bow and arrow and shooting at the tigers.

Upon hearing this, the four people from the west, north, center and bottom immediately followed suit and fired several arrows.

The arrows flew like locusts. The tigers in front were frightened when they were hit by the arrows. They stopped to check in a hurry. When they found that they were not injured, they roared and rushed forward again.

"These tiger spirits have thick skin and flesh and cannot be hurt by arrows. What should we do?" he asked anxiously.

"Brother Xia, the tiger's skin is thick and can't be hurt by shooting. Why don't we try a few rockets?" Xiao Xing saw this and had an idea. He lit the arrows with the torch in his hand and said, "Shoot quickly."

The tiger spirit in the lead saw that the arrows could not hurt it, so it rushed forward without hesitation. Seeing an arrow shot at it, it hit its front hip. The tiger spirit did not care and continued to run forward. Unexpectedly, this time it was a rocket. Although it still failed to hurt it, it ignited its hair. It caught fire instantly.

The tiger was in pain and turned around to find that his body was on fire. He howled and rolled on the ground. After rolling several times, he finally rolled out the fire. Although he was not burned, he was very scared.

"Brother Xia! Brother Dong, rockets are still effective." Xiaoxing shouted excitedly and quickly lit the arrows of Dong, Xi and others.

"Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh" followed by several more rockets shot out. The tiger spirits in front were all hit by arrows and caught fire, and then rolled on the ground.

Dong saw this and shouted excitedly: "The rocket is still the best. Damn it, burn those evil tigers to death."

The tigers behind were stunned when they saw this, and looked at each other, not daring to charge again. At this time, a super tiger king came from behind and asked in a deep voice: "Little ones, what happened? Why did you stop attacking?"

"My king, humans actually shot rockets at us, which burned the tiger hair of several of our brothers, so we dare not attack again." A tiger spirit replied.

"You won't die if you burn some hair, what's so scary about that?" The tiger king said angrily, "The human is nearby, everyone, hurry up and charge, whoever catches the human first will be rewarded."

Seeing the king was angry, the tigers ignored their fear and continued to charge at the humans. Although a few were shot with arrows and caught fire, more tigers fearlessly followed.

"Dong, Xing, we have all climbed up the tree. You guys hurry up. The tigers can't be stopped and will rush over soon." Zhi looked at the tigers rushing over and his voice began to tremble.

"Okay, brothers, let's retreat quickly." Dong agreed, shot the last arrow, threw away the bow, turned around and climbed up the tree.

The four people from the west, north, middle and bottom also started to climb up the tree, but Xiaoxing was the last one.

The tigers were only an arrow's throw away from the crowd, and in just a minute or so, they were close to them.

"Xing, come up quickly!" Chen shouted anxiously.

Seeing that they had already climbed up, Xiaoxing threw the torch at the tiger spirit in front, then hugged the tree and climbed up quickly.

The tiger spirit dodged the torch, roared and leaped up to a height of more than two feet, and pounced on Xiaoxing. Xiaoxing happened to climb to a height of two feet, and was caught by the tiger spirit's front paw on the back of his right foot.

"Xing, be careful!" Zhi, Chen and others shouted anxiously.

Xiao Xing held onto the tree trunk tightly with both hands, while the tiger grabbed his feet and pulled him down. Its weight of over a thousand pounds instantly made Xiao Xing sweat profusely.

"Xing, grab my hand quickly." As soon as Xia climbed up the branch, he immediately stretched out a hand and said.

Xiaoxing then hurriedly grabbed Xia's hand, and Xia tried to pull Xiaoxing up, but he couldn't pull her up. Just as the situation was at a stalemate, Zhi suddenly shouted, "Evil tiger, go to hell."

He threw the stone axe in his hand at the tiger demon, and with a "snap" sound, it hit the tiger demon's face. The tiger demon felt pain, loosened its claws, and hid away.

The tiger spirit escaped and pulled Xiaoxing up the branch smoothly. At this moment, Xiaoxing breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest and cried, "Oh my god, that was a close call, that was a close call." Looking at the back of his foot, it was covered in blood and flesh from the tiger's claws, with bones exposed. Although the pain was unbearable, he didn't care at all.

Under the tree, the tiger spirits came. Since they couldn't climb trees, they jumped and roared helplessly. Then, a large group of tiger spirits and cat spirits also chased to the bottom of the tree. Even Zhi had never seen such a scene before. He was so scared that he dared not breathe. Everyone's heart was in their throats. After all, they were facing a group of beasts that would eat people without leaving any bones.

"Uncle Zhi, look, we are surrounded by a pack of tigers. There is really no way to escape." He said helplessly.

"Uncle Zhi, we are trapped on the tree and no one comes to rescue us. We are really dead this time." Xi lamented again.

"Oh my god, it's all over, what should I do?" Heizi cried out in despair.

Dong heard this and pointed at Xi and scolded him, "Xi, don't be so pessimistic all the time, okay?" Then he pointed at Heizi and scolded him, "And you, Heizi, you are so cowardly and afraid of death despite being so big. Let me tell you two wimps: as long as I am here, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Got it, Brother Dong." The two were scolded and nodded in agreement.

"Dong, fellow warriors, don't panic. Even with my fifty years of hunting experience, this is the first time I've encountered so many tigers. Although these tiger spirits are difficult to deal with, we can slowly find a way!" Zhi was the first to calm down and comfort everyone.

"Listen, humans in the trees: we are sent by Emperor Nian to conquer you. If you know what's good for you, quickly get down from the trees and surrender, and follow us to see Emperor Nian. Otherwise, we will eat you all one by one." A shrill voice came from the herd.

Xiaoxing and the others looked in the direction of the voice and saw many wild cats among the tigers. The one who spoke was the cat king standing in front of the tiger king.

"Aoaoao..." A group of cat and tiger spirits all laughed, as if these people were already meat on their chopping board.

Everyone looked at the tiger king carefully. It was white in color. It was a white tiger king. It was over ten feet long, as big as an elephant, twice as big as an ordinary tiger. The white tiger king walked slowly, and was intimidating without being angry. The cat king in front of it was black in color, and was also several times bigger than an ordinary cat, like a puppy. Since the fight with the Nian beast, everyone had the honor of seeing many kinds of beast kings. Although they were strange, they were not surprised.

"Oh my God! I've never seen such a big tiger or such a big cat." The man exclaimed.

"I didn't expect that this time the Nian beast would send the Tiger King and the Cat King to conquer us. It's so abominable." Dong said angrily.

"Brother Dong, wouldn't it be better to eat tiger meat? Not only is tiger meat delicious, but tiger bone soup is also very nutritious. Tsk tsk--" When Shugen looked at the sturdy tiger's buttocks, he thought of the taste of tiger meat.

"Brother Tree Root, we also have tiger skin. We can make clothes with tiger skin. They are soft and warm." The leaf followed.

"Tree roots, we still don't know whether we eat them or they eat us?" Zhong said with a worried look on his face.

"Don't worry, brothers. Although the tiger spirits and cat spirits are powerful, we are smart humans and will definitely be able to defeat them." Xiaoxing comforted everyone while quickly thinking of countermeasures.

"Xing is right. We must first keep calm." After Zhi comforted everyone, he turned to the tiger king and cat king under the tree with a stone knife and shouted back: "You damned evil tigers and cats, the minions of the Nian beast, want to conquer us humans and ask us to surrender. You are really overestimating your own abilities. I advise you not to get carried away and brag, just like the wild buffalo last time, and finally fell into our hands. If you stop helping Nian to do evil, we will not offend each other. Otherwise, we will skin you and turn your tendons into our roasted tiger meat."

"Aoaoao..." The cat king laughed so hard that his beard trembled. He said, "How can a monkey-like human being compete with my brother Tiger? Now you are trapped in the tree and are about to die, yet you still threaten to turn us into roasted tiger meat. Let me tell you, my brother Tiger is a hundred times more powerful than the Bull King and can swallow a monkey-like person like you in one gulp. Aren't you afraid?"

"You beasts may be powerful, but how can you compare with us humans?" Zhi looked at the arrogant Elvis and said disdainfully: "You have sharp teeth and fangs, and we have stone knives and axes. Why should we be afraid of you?"

"You monkey-like human, if you are not afraid of us, why are you still hiding in the tree? Come down quickly and fight us to see who is stronger?" Elvis shouted.

"You idiots, why should we fight on the ground? If you have the guts, why don't you fight in a tree?" Lei interrupted.
