Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 274: Jackals vs. Tigers

At this time in the forest, a temporary group of several jackal families, under the unified command of a jackal king, were besieging five elk.

Among this group of elk, there is a male deer, which is very large and weighs about 500 to 600 kilograms, a female deer weighing about 400 kilograms, and three fawns.

It was obvious that these five red deer were a family.

There is a lot of snow in Changbai Mountain in winter, and all the grass on the ground is covered with snow.

Red deer usually use their front hooves to dig up the snow on the ground, looking for branches and fallen leaves to fill their stomachs.

This forest must have been cut down by someone before, as branches have grown on many of the tree stumps.

Herbivorous animals such as deer and roe deer prefer these tender branches, so a family of five red deer forage for food here.

Winter is the famine season for all animals in the Changbai Mountain forest.

Especially for herbivorous animals, some old, weak and sick ones have starved to death or frozen to death, and only the strong animals have managed to survive.

Food is scarce and there are many carnivores eyeing them, so elk are very alert and will run away at the slightest sign of trouble.

However, no matter how vigilant they were, this time they were still surrounded by dozens of jackals.

Under the command of the Jackal King, the jackal pack was divided into four teams and quietly surrounded the five elk.

After determining that their prey had nowhere to escape, the jackals attacked.

Jackals have excellent jumping ability and their bite force is even greater than that of wolves. These guys also have a special skill: anal digging.

Surrounded by dozens of jackals, one can imagine what happened to the five elks.

Although the sika deer struggled and resisted, it could not escape the jackals' encirclement and finally fell in the snow. Blood flowed from its wounds and dyed the white snow beneath it red.

Qu Shaoyang didn't want to provoke the jackals, so he thought about leaving the place quickly while the jackals were attacking other prey to avoid trouble.

However, no one knew what was wrong with the horse. No matter how Qu Shaoyang whipped it, it refused to move.

It just pawed its hooves in the same place, tucked its tail between its legs and made whistling noises.

As soon as Qu Shaoyang saw it, he knew something was wrong. There were not only jackals in this forest, but also other ferocious beasts.

"Let's go find a tree to hide first. There seems to be a wild animal nearby."

The horses refused to move forward, and Qu Shaoyang and Meng Lanjun could not just stand there and wait for the wild beasts to attack them.

So Qu Shaoyang made a prompt decision and decided to give up the horse sleigh, hide first and see what happens next.

Meng Lanjun also noticed something was wrong, so without saying a word, he got off the sled with his gun in hand.

Then the two of them crouched down and carefully moved closer to a big tree on the nearby hillside.

Just as the two were about to arrive under the big tree, they suddenly heard a beast roar, "Awooo."

Qu Shaoyang felt a chill at that moment, running from the back of his neck down his spine, and the hairs on his body stood up.

Damn, this is bad, not only are there jackals, there are also tigers. "Quick, climb the tree."

Qu Shaoyang reached out and grabbed Meng Lanjun, quickly walked to the big tree, then pushed Meng Lanjun and asked him to climb up quickly.

In fact, tigers will climb trees, and even if they climb up trees, they cannot be avoided.

But there is a horse below. If the tiger really comes, it will probably eat the horse first. In this way, Qu Shaoyang and Meng Lanjun will have a chance.

Meng Lanjun seemed to want to say something, but at this moment, how could Qu Shaoyang have the time to listen?
Qu Shaoyang urged Meng Lanjun to climb up the tree quickly and find a thick branch to sit on.

Then Qu Shaoyang turned around and ran to another tree. In a few whooshes, he climbed to the middle of the tree and found a suitable place to sit down.

In the woods ahead, a pack of jackals were devouring elk unscrupulously and enjoying their delicious meal.

A tiger roar shook the heaven and earth, and then a nimble figure descended from the sky and pounced on the jackals that were enjoying the food.

This is a male Siberian tiger, and the forests and mountains within a radius of thousands of miles are all its territory. Winter is the season for tigers to fall in love.

In nature, if you want to obtain the right to mate, you must have absolute strength.

The same is true when a male tiger pursues his wife. The female tiger will choose the strongest one from among several male tigers.

The male tiger defeated other opponents, won the right to fall in love with the tiger girl, and completed the important task of racial reproduction.

Of course, it also consumed a lot of physical energy.

Therefore, the male tiger urgently needs to hunt a red deer to nourish the kidneys and strengthen the yang, have a good meal, and then have a good sleep.

The male tiger had been staring at the group of elk for a while. The elk were very alert, so the male tiger could only follow them carefully from downwind, but he never found a chance to bite them.

Unexpectedly, a group of jackals appeared halfway and snatched away the male tiger's hunting target.

Moreover, all five elks were killed, not a single one was left alive.

The male tiger was furious and attacked the jackals without caring how dangerous they were.

So the tiger roared and pounced forward, holding down one jackal with each of its front paws, and broke the third jackal's spine with one bite. Then it lowered its head and bit the other two jackals to death.

As expected of the mountain king, he killed three jackals with this one pounce. The jackal pack immediately became chaotic and fled in all directions.

But the male tiger was still furious and leaped forward, killing three more jackals.

In the blink of an eye, six jackals were killed by the tiger. The jackal pack was shocked and furious.

Jackals are animals with a very strong sense of revenge. When the jackal king saw that his companion had died and the prey was also in danger of being snatched away, he immediately became angry.

Then it let out a sharp cry, giving orders to the jackals to surround the tiger.

Jackals are very good at fighting in a team. Once the jackal king gives an order, the remaining jackals will immediately find suitable attacking positions.

While the tiger was about to leap up for the third time, they jumped up, opened their mouths wide, bared their sharp teeth, and bit the tiger in mid-air.

The tiger was attacked in mid-air, fell to the ground with a thud, and then tried to shake off the jackal.

However, there were seven or eight jackals that held on tightly and refused to let go.

The bite force of a jackal is about 300 kilograms, which is much higher than the 180 kilograms of a wolf.

Seven or eight jackals bit the tiger tightly, causing the tiger to suffer unbearable pain and want to die.

I guess at this moment, the tiger regretted its impulsive attack on the jackals. However, regret was of no use, it could only endure the pain and fight with the jackals.

He used his mouth, claws and tail as three weapons at the same time, biting, slapping, kicking and sweeping with his tail, moving swiftly and agilely like a whirlwind, and killed several jackals.

The scary thing about a pack of jackals is that they are not afraid of death, they keep charging forward one after another.

The falling of their companions not only failed to scare away the other jackals, but instead aroused their anger to seek revenge for their dead and injured companions.

At the urging of the jackal king, one group of jackals fell down and another group rushed up, determined to fight the tiger to the death.

During the struggle with the jackals, the tiger was bitten all over and seriously injured.

But it still roared and did not fall down.

Qu Shaoyang, who was hiding on the tree top, took advantage of the terrain to see the entire fierce fight in front of him.

We also have a deeper understanding of the fighting capabilities of jackal packs.

At this time, no less than twenty jackals had fallen on the snow around the tiger.

But there were still seven or eight jackals, showing no fear, and continued to surround the seriously injured and dying tiger.
