Chapter 123: 【95】Fighting in the mountains, capturing a python and slaying a tiger, the road of the Immortal_3

After the bloody battle on the rainy night atop Longkeng, Wang Longhu’s combat experience was considerably enriched, which greatly aided his strength improvement.

But you’re not going to encounter so many fearless martial artists willing to gamble their lives with you every day in the country, so beasts became Wang Longhu’s best practice targets.

In this primeval forest, no one cares how a beast dies, because in less than half a day, the fresh carcass of a dead beast will be discovered by other hunters, devoured heartily, and feasted upon.

Other herb gatherers are afraid of encountering beasts, but Wang Longhu was an exception, he was eager for it.

Rustle! Rustle! Shuffle! Shuffle!

With every bush and thicket on the road being chopped down by Wang Longhu with his long spear, he carved out a barely passable mountain path along the way.

If other herb gatherers saw this scene, they would surely feel extremely shocked in their hearts.

Because they don’t enter the mountains like this; they usually chop down some of the thinner branches with a pickaxe and then step over them, rarely having the extra energy to destroy the dense vegetation along the way.

Who would, like Wang Longhu, rashly and fiercely carve out a nonexistent path, so that when herb gatherers next come here, they will know that someone has been here before.

As Wang Longhu swept his way through, in the darkness, a pair of eyes as big as copper bells unknowingly fixed their gaze on him.

When Wang Longhu went further, showing his back, the owner of these fierce eyes swiftly moved, transforming into a black shadow, leaping fiercely, lunging at Wang Longhu, who was four meters away.

"Roar!"

In an instant, a terrifying roar exploded, like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky, causing one’s ears to tremble; it was a ferocious tiger with yellow background and black stripes!

The tiger’s roar echoed through the mountains, and the birds that had originally settled on the branches were startled into a frenzy, flapping their wings and producing a resonant chorus.

Wang Longhu, as if anticipating this, quickly turned and horizontally placed his spear shaft, blocking the incoming tiger claws in the nick of time.

The massive impact pushed Wang Longhu over three meters away, his high boots grinding two deep tracks into the ground, and the mud reached to his ankles.

"Roar!" A savage and fierce, demon-like tiger pressed its claws on the spear, legs grounded, looking down at Wang Longhu from above, roaring with a wide-open mouth.

A stench and white breath spewed from the tiger’s mouth, making Wang Longhu furrow his brow.

Now, the distance to the tiger’s face was only thirty to forty centimeters away, and even in the darkness, the patterns on the tiger’s nose could be clearly seen.

This close encounter directly stimulated Wang Longhu’s adrenaline to soar, making his heart beat faster.

As Wang Longhu cleared the way with his spear earlier, he had sensed a strange feeling, as if an invisible sword blade was pressing on his forehead.

It was an uncomfortable sensation, making his whole body tense like a coiled rope.

This feeling persisted, making Wang Longhu realize there might be something wrong, keeping him highly focused and alert at all times.

Sure enough, a hidden ’Hunter’ had emerged, and this big fish was brought out by Wang Longhu.

Since childhood, Wang Longhu had never visited a zoo, and his knowledge of tigers solely came from wildlife documentaries and encyclopedic entries.

This first encounter with a tiger’s attack made him extremely excited.

China has two types of tigers: the Siberian tiger living in the north and the South China tiger residing in the south.

Although the South China tiger is not as large as the Siberian tiger, its explosive power is still not something an average person can withstand; its hind legs can fully stand upright, easily leaping over two meters without any trouble.

With a full force leap, it can hit prey at heights of six meters; thus, a move called ’Tiger Leaps the Ravine’ in Tiger Form Boxing draws from this terrifying jumping capability.

The tiger’s paw strength is usually over 2000 pounds, and its running speed can reach 22 meters per second, making encountering a tiger in the wild akin to receiving a message from King Yama.

Don’t even think about avoiding it by climbing a tree; as a feline, a tiger climbs trees much faster than humans, and it could drag you down before you reach the top, tearing you apart.

Such a formidable beast, the king of beasts, naturally becomes a formidable adversary threatening Wang Longhu’s life.

Loosening his grip, the spear immediately fell; just as it dropped to the ground, Wang Longhu stepped forward, throwing a punch.

Facing the tiger, which was already very close, Wang Longhu didn’t retreat but advanced, closing the distance and landing a punch on its face in an instant.

Bang!

The tiger reared back, rolled over, and immediately got up unharmed, looking at Wang Longhu with fiercer eyes, its pupils emitting a fierce light, with its wildness fully triggered by the pain.

A beast’s resilience far exceeds that of humans; the South China tiger in front of him was at least 2.4 meters long, and even twenty unarmed adults couldn’t kill it using swarm tactics; instead, they would be killed by the tiger, becoming nothing but remnants and pieces in its jaws.
