"And... there's a hundred taels of silver as a reward for killing this tiger?"

Su Hao's heart stirred upon seeing this scene.

It seems that tiger attacks have been too frequent lately, causing hunters and herb gatherers in the surrounding area to be afraid to enter the mountains.

The owners who were eager to acquire materials couldn't wait any longer, so they joined forces with the government and offered a bounty to hunt down the tiger.

"One hundred taels of silver, plus the value of the tiger itself, is at least three or four hundred taels...that's quite a sum."

Su Hao was also somewhat tempted.

With this money, there should be enough funds to prepare the Eight Treasures Soup for the time being.

As for the meat of exotic beasts?

Su Hao now eats only when there's food available, and temporarily refrains from eating when there isn't.

But thinking about it, this ferocious tiger was able to evade the pursuit of those professional hunting teams, so killing it and claiming credit would be no easy task.

After glancing around briefly, Su Hao didn't linger and headed into the deep mountains alone.

Yesterday, in addition to animal droppings, he also found some footprints resembling those of goats in the riverbed.

This reminded him of the fire-headed sheep that He Dazhong had once mentioned to him.

If those footprints are related to the fire-headed sheep, then he would have to go there every day to wait for them.

Su Hao continued deeper into the forest without stopping, soon reaching the central part of the mountains and forests, near the valley.

rustle……

Su Hao walked on the ground, which resembled a carpet of leaves, his eyes warily scanning his surroundings, his crossbow poised at any moment.

quiet……

It's so quiet!

Su Hao couldn't even hear the sounds of the other animals.

Such a phenomenon is too eerie in the deep mountains!

Composing himself, Su Hao didn't intend to stay in this place any longer, but instead planned to continue down the river and search along the tracks from yesterday.

He had a bad feeling about this place when he passed by yesterday, as if something was watching him from behind.

Therefore, try not to stay as long as possible.

rustle……

Suddenly, Su Hao stopped in his tracks, and the hairs on his body stood on end. He turned around sharply to look!

Roar! ! !

A red shadow flashed across the sky, followed by a roar that echoed through the mountains and forests!

The sudden roar made Su Hao's pupils shrink, but fortunately he remained calm despite the shock. He rolled to the side and narrowly avoided the attack of a pair of sharp claws!

"tiger……!!"

Su Hao stared intently at the suddenly appearing, tall, red and white beast, unsure of how to react.

If he was unlucky, then the reward was right in front of him.

If he was lucky, he still encountered a ferocious tiger that had devoured more than ten people and was over seven meters long and three meters tall, descending from the mountain!

This enormous size completely overturned Su Hao's understanding of tigers.

Roar! !

The first raid failed, and the tiger roared again, its eyes filled with ferocity.

However, there was a clear hint of suspicion and wariness in his gaze as he looked at Su Hao.

This human seems different from the ones we've encountered before.

With a sudden leap, it jumped several meters high and pounced on Su Hao again.

"pity…"

Su Hao looked at the imposing tiger, his palms surging with blood and qi, his palms already turning crimson.

Without flinching, he pulled out a powerful crossbow from his backpack, and a series of dull, resounding impacts echoed through the air!

bang bang bang! ! !

Su Hao rolled to the side to avoid the tiger's pounce.

After landing, the tiger lay on the ground, struggling violently.

But before he could struggle for long, a fiery red palm print slammed heavily onto his head.

A palm strike, heavy enough to shatter solid rock, was unleashed, and the tiger's head cracked with a sound of bones breaking, its struggling body coming to an abrupt halt.

Su Hao slowly withdrew his hand from the dented tiger head and then wiped the blood off the tiger skin.

"This is a bumper harvest!"

Looking at the huge tiger carcass on the ground, Su Hao felt a surge of joy.

He had barely expended any strength in his previous fight with the tiger.

The modified crossbow could easily pierce even sheet metal, let alone a tiger's flesh and blood.

Moreover, all the shots he fired were aimed at the heart, which is a vital organ; it would be difficult for that tiger to survive.

He now finally understood why the imperial court had banned crossbows. Even a martial artist like Su Hao, who was at the Iron Skin Realm, would not dare to be easily hit by such powerful crossbow bolts.

Seeing the tiger carcass on the ground, Su Hao didn't delay any longer. After putting away the crossbow, he turned the tiger carcass over and began searching for the crossbow bolts he had previously used.

This thing didn't pierce the tiger completely, so it will remain inside the tiger's body.

In order not to arouse suspicion that he was secretly keeping crossbows, he had to clean them thoroughly.

Otherwise, if someone reports you, it could cause you a lot of trouble.

Moreover, this tiger is a top-quality prey, its value no less than that of ordinary exotic beast meat. Every part of its body is a treasure, from head to toe: tiger skin, tiger bones, tiger penis, tiger gall... all have value!

Su Hao himself was not familiar with disassembling these things, so if he wanted to sell the tiger carcass, he had to sell it whole.

Therefore, it is essential to clean the arrows thoroughly.

"Tsk tsk! What a find! I can't believe you actually managed to hunt this ferocious tiger!?"

Just as Su Hao was about to peel off the tiger skin and pull out the arrows.

Suddenly, a sound came from the woods behind them.

Su Hao turned around abruptly and saw several figures emerging from the dense forest and walking towards him.

"The people of Bianyan Village...?"

Seeing these people, my heart sank.

I never expected to run into these notorious guys at a time like this.

In the Shilipo area, there are quite a few villages that also make a living by hunting.

The people of Yan Village are one of the stronger hunting teams, specializing in hunting exotic beasts for a living.

Moreover, everyone in the team was a martial artist.

Besides hunting exotic beasts, these people also like to target other hunters, especially those who are alone.

Many hunters in Shili Slope had their prey stolen by them, but because of their overwhelming strength, most dared not speak out against them.

"Hehe! Kid, you worked pretty hard hunting this thing, but we chased this ferocious tiger for ages, and now you've gotten the better deal. What do you suggest we do?"

Among the group, a burly man with only one eye pointed at the tiger carcass on the ground and grinned, revealing a mouthful of black teeth.

"What do you want?"

Su Hao remained calm and said indifferently.

He knew that after what had happened today, the other party would definitely not let the tiger corpse go easily.

"How about this, you leave now, and I won't hold it against you for stealing our prey, okay?"

The one-eyed giant smiled and said.

Although I don't know what methods this kid used to kill the ferocious tiger.

But they had heard before they arrived that the tiger had been shot and wounded by other hunting teams, so they rushed over when they heard the tiger's roar.

I saw this scene immediately.

But no matter how the other side killed the tiger, it must be handed over today, otherwise their five or six powerful bows are not to be trifled with.
