Chapter 80 The Revenge of the Saber-Toothed Tiger (Tenth update! Thank you all for your support!)

As dusk fell, the deep pit was complete!
There was a deep pit, roughly the height of three people, at least five meters deep.

This depth is already quite deep. If it goes any deeper, Xia Minghao is worried about accidents and will have to implement support measures.

Then, they had sharpened branches inserted into the pit as a means of killing the saber-toothed tiger.

After everything was completed, Xia Minghao had people use thick ropes to pull the people up from the bottom of the pit.

Then they built a trap using long branches, and covered it with soil and weeds.

Finally, place the bait—a goat.

The goat won't fall, but if the saber-toothed tiger pounces, the frame will surely collapse.

Both the sheep and the tiger will fall.

This goat was the saber-toothed tiger's farewell meal.

After setting up the trap, Xia Minghao led everyone back to the cave and instructed those who had been digging for clay to retrieve the iron ore that had already been unearthed.

Based on his observations of the pits dug outside the mountain, Xia Minghao also discovered the distribution pattern of the iron ore.

That is, there are very few outside the mountains, but there are quite a lot inside the mountains.

Many iron ore deposits are even left exposed, ready for anyone to pick up.

Soon, through everyone's concerted efforts in picking up and moving the iron ore, a small mountain of iron ore was formed.

We don't need them right now, but we'll need them someday. Let's collect them all so we can just take them when we need them.

Flames rose in the stone stove.

The flickering flames shone on the faces of the Da tribe members, reflecting their sorrowful expressions.

The people of the Da tribe were overjoyed that morning because they could stay another day.

Now, thinking about leaving tomorrow, the people of the Da tribe have regained that hesitation.

The Xia tribe was no longer as cheerful as they had been at dinner, because tonight they were going to kill that saber-toothed tiger!

As night deepened, the Xia tribe members, having finished their dinner early, all gathered near the cave.

There was no laughter, no singing or dancing; only solemnity.

Everyone was waiting for the saber-toothed tiger to arrive.

Wangcai was also waiting along with everyone else.

Wangcai has temporarily shed his role as a caregiver and returned to being a sentry for the Xia tribe, listening to the sounds outside the cave.

The moon moved slowly across the sky, and drowsiness crept in.

The waiting crowd gradually grew tired, but they still forced themselves to stay alert.

Because everyone knows that if they can't kill the saber-toothed tiger, they might be killed by it one day when they're out in the world.

Just then, Wangcai's ears suddenly perked up.

Xia Minghao immediately noticed Wangcai's reaction. In the darkness, he patted the shoulder of the person next to him.

This is the method of silently transmitting information that I just taught everyone.

The person Xia Minghao photographed also gently patted the person next to them.

It's like a stone thrown into water, spreading out like ripples.

Gripping their weapons tightly, the group slowly rose to their feet.

Until a faint bleating of a sheep could be heard!
Xia Minghao didn't hesitate to use the battery this time and immediately turned on the flashlight.

The path ahead was instantly illuminated, clearing away the obstacles brought by the darkness.

Everyone rushed out of the cave and headed towards the deep pit trap.

Just as they ran out of the cave, they heard a loud boom.

It must have been a saber-toothed tiger that fell in!

"quick!"

Xia Minghao urged them loudly, and everyone quickened their pace.

Upon reaching the edge of the pit, illuminated by the flashlight beam, we saw that the damned saber-toothed tiger had actually crawled out of the pit.

The bloodstains were very obvious, and were gushing out from the tiger's body.

"Throw spears!" Xia Minghao immediately gave the order as the saber-toothed tiger was about to climb out of the pit.

Although the saber-toothed tiger was injured, it was unknown whether the injury was fatal. Xia Minghao did not want to let it go, in case it came back again.

Wooden spears flew and rained down on the saber-toothed tiger.

At this point, the saber-toothed tiger had no strength left to dodge.

One after another, wooden spears were driven directly into the tiger's body.

"Ouch!"

A howling sound arose, filled with pain.

Seeing the saber-toothed tiger, which had been blown into a hedgehog, still struggling, Xia Minghao first arranged for Liba and others to surround it, and then had Xifa and others start a second round of volley fire.

When the Dengli clan, taking a detour to avoid being injured by the spears, arrived not far from the saber-toothed tiger and blocked its path.

The second round of volleys is coming.

The saber-toothed tiger's back was covered in blood flowing into the pillar. Although it had crawled out of the deep pit, it could no longer stand up.

Seeing this, Xia Minghao waved his hand, and the Li clan members formed the first encirclement, while the others formed the second.

They surrounded the saber-toothed tiger, which was now on the verge of death.

The saber-toothed tiger was lying on the edge of the pit, with one of its legs still hanging off the edge, not moving up.

As they got closer, Xia Minghao could hear clearly heavy breathing.

The torches had already been taken by the women of the Wu clan and handed to them.

Xia Minghao also turned off his flashlight, relying solely on the firelight to dispel the darkness in the vicinity.

Everyone in the Xia tribe knew that they had won this battle for survival once again.

Everyone cheered again.

Xia Minghao then gestured to Sheila, signaling her to simply give the saber-toothed tiger a quick death.

Hilla understood and was about to make her move when the dying saber-toothed tiger suddenly moved!
The massive body slowly stood up, the movement pushing the clods of earth beside it back into the hole.

Sensing something was wrong, everyone immediately resumed their fighting stance.

The saber-toothed tiger stood up, but made no attempt to run away or attack.

Instead, he turned his tiger head and looked around at the group of two-legged beasts he had once looked down upon.

It seems to be searching for something...

Finally, it found the two-legged creature it was looking for.

Staring into the eyes of the saber-toothed tiger, Xia Minghao saw its pale conjunctiva and irregularly shaped pupils.

"Wait, Sheila."

Xia Minghao didn't know what the saber-toothed tiger was going to do, but he did have a feeling that it really wanted to do something.

Sheila also retrieved the wooden spear that she had been about to throw.

At this moment, the saber-toothed tiger made a wheezing sound from its throat and began to take heavy steps again.

They walked very slowly in one direction.

"Scatter and get away from the saber-toothed tiger."

Everyone was confused, but it was Xia Minghao's reminder that made the primitive people disperse.

Is he looking for a place to die with dignity?

As the saber-toothed tiger grew ever more distant from the bright light of the fire, Xia Minghao stroked his chin, pondering what he had seen.

Having no knowledge of animal behavior, I really couldn't guess what the saber-toothed tiger was trying to do.

Just as the figure was about to leave the range of the firelight, the saber-toothed tiger suddenly stopped and looked at Xia Minghao.

Once he was sure the two-legged creature was looking at him, he turned his head back and slowly walked forward.

"What do you mean?"

As the saber-toothed tiger receded into the distance, Xia Minghao suddenly had an idea that he himself could hardly believe.

Could it be that this saber-toothed tiger wants him to follow him?
Where is the saber-toothed tiger taking me?
