Boom... Roar...

The roar of the tiger was mixed with the sound of thunder, and it spread from the depths of Niu Kui Mountain. When it reached the periphery, the sound had already weakened a lot, so it was overwhelmed by a new round of thunder.

The group of hunters carrying prey and mountain goods hurried on the road. If there was a heavy rain at this juncture and the mountain was wet, slippery and cold, the road would be very difficult to walk, and they might have to spend the night in the mountain.

Rumble...

A special reverberation came, and the leading man stopped and looked back at the depths of Niukui Mountain. From a distance, on the farthest mountain peak that he could see clearly, many trees and bamboos were shaking, as if there were gusts of black wind Swept out from the deep mountains.

Aww...

Another voice came faintly, causing the leading Orion to have a strange hallucination. In his eyes, he seemed to see a gray-black mist rising into the sky in the distance from the other side of the mountain, forming under the dark clouds in the sky. The head of a huge beast was roaring towards the thunderclouds in the sky.

hiss…….!

This scene made the man gasp subconsciously, and his legs seemed to be injected with lead, making it difficult to move.

A hunter suddenly realized that the leader hadn't followed, turned his head and saw that the leader was standing there looking at the deep mountain, and hurriedly asked a question.

Head what are you looking at? Another prey?

These words made the man shiver suddenly, and looking at the sky in the distance, there was no scene at all, it seemed that it was a complete illusion just now, he recovered his senses and looked at the Orion beside him.

It's nothing, it's nothing, hurry up, you can't stop if you have prey, and you can't spend the night in the mountains!

The leading man hurriedly ran again while urging.

Who wants to spend the night here when it's so cold?

But this time we hunted a lot, the things are heavy! Run up and run up.

A group of men carried their prey back and forth in the mountains. Fortunately, although the dark clouds were getting bigger and the thunder was very frequent and frightening, it did not rain immediately after all, allowing the hunters to reach the mountain smoothly.

At the entrance of the village, there were already a group of villagers waiting there, and they all shouted happily when they saw the hunters come back.

Look! It's back, a lot of big goods! Drive to help.

Look, look, there's a big worm in front of you!

Mother, big bug? No, no, don't talk nonsense, that's a big leopard!

Jackals, tigers, leopards, leopards and tigers are not too different.

Yes, yes, they are all top quality leather!

The family members of the hunters and the onlookers in the village rushed out to help the hunters carry their prey. The heavy wild boars and the brightly colored beasts were all fat meat and furs that could be exchanged for money in the eyes of those who knew the goods.

Boom...

The thunder exploded again, and then the downpour of 哗啦啦啦... finally fell, and the hunters and their families hurried back home together.

The scale of the mountain village itself is not very large. Two wild boars were cooked that night. It was planned that every household in the village would get wild boars, so that they could enjoy a meal of fresh wild game at the beginning of spring when they returned home.

However, the leading Orion man had been a little restless after he came back, so he decided to take his things and go to her natal home with his wife.

Carrying a pork chop and a wild boar foreleg, with his wife and children, the Orion man arrived at the home of the old village chief, his father-in-law.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came up with steaming wild boar pork chops and wild pork. Before cooking, they rubbed the spicy wild ginger and wild pepper in the mountains to remove the smell to a large extent, but the front hoof was rotten alone. Put in a large flower bowl.

Come on, dad, eat it while it's hot, your favorite front hoof meat! Yes, dad, we specially kept it, it rotted.

The daughter and son-in-law urged with a smile.

Hey hey, you guys are filial!

The old village head said something cheerfully, picked up a piece of hoof skin with chopsticks, and handed it to his little grandson.

A~

The latter swallowed the pigskin with his mouth wide open, puffed up his cheeks and chewed vigorously.

Sit all, eat all!

The whole family sat around and moved their chopsticks. Apart from a pot of stewed radish, they mainly consisted of two pots of pork and a pot of rice wine. This food made everyone in Ning'an County greedy.

Boom...

The thunder sounded again, but these people in the room were already used to it, and they all ate the meat and vegetables on the table with an oil lamp.

After eating for a while, the man asked the old man in a low voice by pouring wine for his father-in-law.

Father, let me ask you something. I remember when I was a child, Niu Kuishan seemed to have been troubled by monsters for a while?

Oh, what are you talking about!

The mother-in-law next to her stared at her son-in-law, but the child became excited.

Monsters? Do we have monsters here? What about gods and immortals?

Aren't all the gods in the temple! Eat yours.

The child's mother replied with a smile, pick up a piece of radish and stuff it in the child's mouth, otherwise the little guy will eat all the meat.

Father, I vaguely remember that this happened when I was a child. Back then, the government seemed to...

Not bad! There were similar things back then.

The old village chief has been the village chief in this mountain village for nearly forty years, and every Lizheng who is in charge of the two surrounding villages has a good relationship with him, and he also remembers some important things in the past.

Calculating the years and months, it's almost twenty years!

After saying this with emotion, the old village chief drank the rice wine in the small cup.

Grandpa, grandpa, tell me about it!

The little grandson swallowed the radish and meat in his mouth, pushed away his mother's chopsticks and begged, and the Orion man hurriedly and courteously refilled his drink, and picked up another elbow with meat on it.

Okay, I'll talk about it!

The old village chief took a sip of the rice wine, put his elbow in his mouth, chewed and squinted his eyes, as if he had returned to that period of panic.

I can't remember exactly how many years it has been for a while, but I guess it's almost twenty years. Back then, your father was not much older than you.

The old village head pointed to his little grandson and smiled.

I remember that in the past few years, there was a tiger disaster in Niukui Mountain. For a while, the government recruited and organized me to wait for the hunters on the mountain to enter the mountain to eliminate tigers...

Eighteen years ago, not only the Niukui Mountain near Desheng Mansion and Ning'an County, but also the other two prefectures next to Niu Kui Mountain, had a similar situation, but Ning'an County was more serious, and the old village chief couldn't get in touch with it. The news that the foreign government is so far away.

At that time, my body was quite strong, and I went into the mountain twice together. We also found the tiger's lair and hunted down a tiger with our own hands. However, no human bones were found around there, but later...

The old village chief showed a look of fear.

There is an old saying that the wind follows the tiger and the cloud follows the dragon. Everyone has heard it, but no one has seen it, but we saw it that time!

That night, we and a total of more than 30 experienced hunters from neighboring villages guarded a deep mountain hill that was believed to be infested by fierce tigers... The wind was originally clear and the moon was bright, but suddenly there was a strong wind. Xisha is charming, and the roar of the tiger is heard together, the sound of howling is so frightening that even the bravest hunter will be terrified!

The little grandson has subconsciously approached his mother, not even chewing the meat in his mouth.

But we are all hunters, no matter what we have to hold our breath, so no one uttered a sound, but the big worm seemed to know where we were, and it grabbed a hunter from a neighboring village with a single pounce. The screams rang out all the way, and we chased them together. Going out, I can't see the shadow anymore, what's even weirder is...

The old village head deliberately approached his little grandson.

The wind has stopped!

Oh, old man, why are you scaring children, you are not serious!

Hehehe...don't the child like to hear this!

The little face turned pale with fright!

The Orion man hastened to refill the wine for his father-in-law.

Father, go on.

Well, when we came back, we were a little distraught, and we were terribly frightened, but no one could feel at ease unless the man-eating tigers were eliminated. The rewards from the government were also great, and even officials who knew martial arts were sent to work together, and some of our hunters were too. Not reconciled, so I went again.

Speaking of this, the old village chief sighed.

Hey... my brother was gone that time too. The tiger was really monstrous. It snatched away two people like playing, and even killed seven mountain dogs. The mountain winds came and went, and the roar made the listener's legs weak. After that time, some old hunters and I were cleared up. We hunters are by no means rivals. After that, no matter how much the government lobbied, we would never enter the mountain...

The old village head took a sip of wine to suppress his shock.

The story of the fierce tiger in the mountains becoming a spirit also started to spread after that time, but the few villages here have kept it secret, and no one speaks nonsense for fear of attracting trouble.

Later, I heard that the government posted a list, and went to the Desheng Mansion to ask for help to post the list. Then some powerful Jianghu heroes came. Is it because the Jianghu people have high martial arts skills, and they actually killed the tiger? It’s a rare big white tiger, and its skin has been displayed at the gate of the county government office for many days, and many people in our village have seen it!”

The Orion man grabbed his chopsticks and frowned, drank the rice wine in his glass in one gulp, and asked.

Father, are you sure that tiger is really dead?

Then it's still fake? The big white tiger, ordinary big worms can't stand up to both, it's an absolute monster, and after that, Niu Kuishan is at peace, not to mention the man-eating tigers, even the ordinary big worms are hardly seen!

The Orion man hesitated for a moment, lowered his body and asked again.

Father, is it possible that the tiger spirit is still alive?

The old village chief's scalp numb like a conditioned reflex, and he turned his head to look at his son-in-law.

What nonsense are you talking about! Did you see it?

No, no, it's just that when going down the mountain this time, the thunder sounded like a beast roaring, and the black clouds in the sky were also scary, and the beasts were all running out from the deep mountain. I was so scared in my heart...

Both the old village chief and the man looked out through the window. The mountains were blocked and they could not see far away, so they could only look at the sky.

this moment.

Crack...Boom...

The loud noise of thunder was deafening, and a thick bolt of lightning fell straight into the mountain like a branch with three branches.

Everyone in the entire mountain village trembled at the same moment.
