Chapter 1720 Two Fierce Battles Leave Black Tiger Stunned
A mountain stream flows gently, and a black bear lies on a flat spot on the bank, pressing its left forepaw into the icy mountain stream water.
There are fish in this mountain stream, but they are all small fish, like ears of wheat, which a bear could not catch at all.
The bear was not waving its paw in the water to catch fish, but because the two toes of its paw were charred and curled, and the toes were red and swollen. This was because Wu Dalin had burned them with a torch.
As the saying goes, "the ten fingers are connected to the heart," and the black bear's paws and toes are no different from human fingers. After being burned, they suffer unbearable pain and can only be relieved by placing them in cool mountain streams to cool down.
This is perfectly normal for wild animals. They use this method to relieve their injuries.
At this time of year, the mountain stream water is extremely cold, barely reaching ten degrees Celsius. With its scalded paw placed inside, the black bear on the bank is so comfortable that it almost falls asleep.
"Awooo..." Suddenly, a strange cry came, and the black bear's head stood up with a thud.
The black bear looked in the direction of the sound. Its eyesight was poor, and it couldn't see anything, but it could smell a series of distinctive scents.
Black bears have a sense of smell dozens of times stronger than dogs, and they can distinguish various scents. The scents they just smelled are not commonly encountered in the mountains, which greatly increases the black bear's vigilance.
In these mountains and forests, black bears are the tyrants, especially male black bears weighing 350 or 360 pounds. There are few in these mountains that can defeat them.
But the instincts of wild animals prevent them from engaging in fights unless they are competing for food or mating rights.
After all, for wild animals, once injured, they are very likely to die.
Normally, this bear would have gotten up and left immediately. But today it was injured, and regardless of the severity of the injury, an injured bear is completely different from an uninjured one.
The pain made the black bear irritable, the irritability gave rise to ruthlessness in its heart, and the ruthlessness made the black bear want to kill.
"Roar..." The 130-pound black tiger came galloping over. Today, Erhei was taken away by Zhao Youcai, and one of the two generals of the black tiger, Hengha, was missing, leaving only Bailong.
Thirty or forty meters away were four dragons: green, black, yellow, and spotted. What was strange about these four dogs was that, although the yellow and spotted dragons were larger than the green and black dragons, they all, like the black dragon, led the green dragon.
This is a habit. Usually, the Azure Dragon manages the Yellow Dragon and the Flower Dragon, and gradually the Yellow Dragon and the Flower Dragon will learn to obey.
Usually, it's the green tiger that lags behind, but today it's the little bear and the little flower. The little bear is getting old, and after running only a little over a mile, it's already panting heavily.
Xiao Hua is young, but she's lagging behind because she follows Xiao Xiong. When she first joined the Zhao family's dog gang, it was Xiao Xiong who brought her along. During a period when Xiao Xiong was pregnant, Xiao Hua spent some time with Qinglong.
Now that Little Bear is back in action, Little Flower is following him again.
At this moment, the black tiger had already rushed up to the black bear.
The black tiger ran within two meters of the black bear. Sensing the threat, the black bear raised its head, and the black tiger immediately retreated.
Black Tiger retreated, but White Dragon, who had followed, couldn't stop in time and charged straight at Black Bear, biting its rear end.
"Huff..." Water droplets splashed as the black bear slapped the white dragon with its injured paw. It had no choice but to use its best forepaw to support its body.
Bai Long immediately withdrew, darting out of the black bear's attack range, and stood to the left and right of the black tiger, roaring at the black bear.
The wounded black bear, eager to vent its anger, lunged at the black tiger. Although it had been bitten by the white dragon earlier, the black bear found the black tiger far more irritating, especially its roar, which was absolutely awful.
"Roar!" The black tiger's roar stopped abruptly. It leaped to the side to dodge the black bear's attack. Seeing the black bear pounce again, the black tiger, with no trees nearby to hide under, inexplicably mistook the black bear for a tree and circled around to its back.
Upon seeing the black bear's rear end, the black tiger's eyes lit up, and it leaped up and opened its mouth to bite.
"Ouch!" The black bear cried out in pain, but without turning around, it simply reached back with its paw.
The black bear struck out with such force that its entire arm and shoulder shot backward, without turning around.
When the black tiger sensed that the black bear's body was about to turn, it released its grip and pulled back, only to see the bear's paw grasping at empty air in front of it.
As soon as the bear paw was retracted, the black tiger pounced and bit again.
No sooner said than done. The black tiger bit, the black bear scratched, the black tiger retreated and then bit again; the whole process took no more than six or seven seconds.
In such a short time, the black bear was bitten twice, but it still didn't turn around because the four dogs of the Azure Dragon arrived. They lined up with the White Dragon, posing a great threat to the black bear.
Since a battle was inevitable, the black bear would not remain passive. It arched its back and, in the blink of an eye, leaped towards the Azure Dragon and the Flower Dragon like a giant toad.
Azure Dragon and Flower Dragon dodged left and right. The moment the black bear landed, its paw swept out with wind and scooped up Azure Dragon.
Startled, Qinglong let out a strange cry and sped up to dodge the black bear's attack. At that moment, the hunting dogs all rushed towards the black bear's rear, intending to attack its rump.
The black bear, having missed its target, continued its movements. It straightened up, stood upright like a human, and repeatedly clawed behind it with both paws, deterring the hunting dogs from approaching.
Taking advantage of the moment, the black bear turned around, raised its paws to its chest, and assumed an attack stance.
The hunting dogs facing the black bear dispersed to both sides, leaving White Dragon and Green Dragon to attract the black bear's attention, while the other hunting dogs continued to try to attack the black bear's back door.
Knowing what the hunting dogs were about to do, the black bear attacked the remaining white and green dragons before they could even get into position. The black bear lunged forward and scooped up the white dragon with a single paw.
The white dragon leaped to the side, roaring and threatening the black bear. The black bear persisted, then used its paw to grab the green dragon.
Like the white dragon, the green dragon created a safe distance from the black bear. At this moment, the black tiger, black dragon, and yellow dragon arrived. The black tiger leaped up and bit the bear's tail, the yellow dragon bit the bear's buttocks, and the black dragon bit the bear's thigh.
The black bear was covered in long fur and had thick skin, but its rump and thighs were vulnerable to being scratched. Feeling uncomfortable, the black bear forgot about attacking the Azure Dragon and the White Dragon and reached out with its paws to scratch backward.
The three black tigers and dogs dodged, and then the black bear got up and turned around. The hunting dogs continued to sneak up behind the bear, and the bear tried to attack the two hunting dogs that were coming towards it again.
A bear and eight dogs were constantly attacking each other in the mountains and forests. They were wearing each other down, testing each other's patience and seizing opportunities to make mistakes.
In another battlefield, the battle between bears and dogs unfolded differently. A black bear strode across the clearing, pursued by seven hunting dogs.
This is a normal black bear. It wouldn't fight to the death with the dogs unless it was injured or in dire straits.
But it didn't fight to the death, while the dog wanted to eat meat, so the hunting dogs relentlessly pursued it.
Without those young, headless dogs today, the Green Tiger finally has the chance to show off his former big-headed dog-like prowess.
It and Erhei flanked the black bear from both sides. Erhei circled halfway around the black bear, while Qinghu stopped three meters in front of the black bear and then turned and charged at it.
"Wang! Wang!"
The green tiger, having grown another year older with the passing of the New Year, inevitably grew thinner and thinner, even with Zhao's good food.
But when the old dog charged at the black bear, it barked loudly and was full of momentum.
In a battle between wild animals, momentum and confidence are crucial. A black bear that's thinking about running away has no momentum to speak of.
The tiger's charge made the black bear lose confidence. It felt that the old dog could pose a threat to it, so it immediately stopped, stood up, and raised its paws to fight.
The green tiger was brave but not stupid. Seeing the black bear stop, it stopped as well and roared at the black bear.
As soon as the black bear stopped, Erhei, Dahua, and the other dogs seized the opportunity to bite it.
The black bear angrily flung its paws out, scratching, clawing, slapping, and striking, driving the hunting dogs back.
Having driven away the surrounding hunting dogs, the black bear continued its escape. They were already starving; wasting their energy fighting these dogs would only make things worse.
Seeing that the black bear was about to leave, the hunting dogs once again formed a pack and gave chase, their barks echoing through the mountains.
"Hurry up!" Zhao Youcai, two miles away, carried a semi-automatic rifle and moved through the clearing zone.
Regardless of Zhao Youcai's temper or personality, he was an absolute expert at mountain running. In the blink of an eye, Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun could no longer see Zhao Youcai.
This terraced clearing zone also serves as a dividing line, separating the selectively clear-cut and clear-cut forests.
Beyond the clearing zone lies the selective logging area. As they exited the clearing zone, the blue tiger once again clashed with the black bear, successfully intercepting it.
Then, the hounds engaged the black bear in another fierce battle.
If this were a 300-pound wild boar, these eight dogs would likely have pinned it to death here.
But this is a black bear; even eighteen more dogs wouldn't help. During a hunt, dogs can only delay the black bear's movements by engaging in close combat, then wait for the hunter to come and shoot at the bear.
In both battlegrounds, the dog gang was fighting the bears. The difference was that the bear surrounded by Black Tiger and his group chose to fight the dog gang to the death, while the bear surrounded by Green Tiger and his group was unwilling to linger in the fight and only wanted to escape from these annoying hunting dogs.
Once again breaking free from the hounds' encirclement, the black bear darted into the selective logging forest.
Its first reaction upon entering the woods was to climb a tree, heading straight for a tree as thick as a thigh.
"Woof!" The moment the bear climbed the tree, the green tiger leaped up and bit the black bear's rump, followed by Erhei biting the black bear's thigh.
These two dogs together must weigh over 180 pounds, and they were hanging on the black bear like that.
When the bear lay down two meters off the ground, it felt a dragging pain in its buttocks and thighs.
The black bear used three paws to grip the tree, freeing one forepaw to struggle to grab Erhei. But Erhei was biting its thigh and hanging from its body, making it impossible for the black bear to catch it.
At this moment, Da Hua and Er Hua pushed off the ground and climbed up the tree. The black bear's hind legs were only two meters off the ground and not very high. Just as Da Hua and Er Hua were about to fall, they bit the bear's leg.
The moment the four dogs were hanging on the bear, the bear was still trying to pry Erhei off with its paws. As the 400-pound dogs plummeted downwards, the bear's two hind legs instantly lost their grip on the tree.
How can you hold on with just one forefoot?
The black bear landed with a "thud"!
The black bear was lying on its stomach, its legs pinning down Qinglaohu and Erhei. The two dogs quickly pulled away and ran. Dahua and Erhua also escaped easily, but Heiniu couldn't dodge in time and was knocked down in front of the black bear.
"Awooo!" Blackie let out a strange cry, flipped herself up and lunged forward. The black bear, realizing what was happening, didn't get up, but instead pounced with both paws, trying to pin her down.
Fortunately, Blackie was agile and quickly dodged the bear's paws. After missing her target, the bear raised both paws and slashed outwards, then lunged at Blackie again.
"Aow!" A sudden scream rang out, but it wasn't from Blackie, but from Big Black and Big Yellow, who bit the black bear's ears from both sides.
These two dogs were quite fierce. The black bear, in pain, angrily got up, and Big Black and Big Yellow let go and ran away. At this moment, Green Tiger, Erhei, Big Flower, and Erhua fiercely bit the black bear's rump, while the black bear, having gotten up, slashed backward with both paws, forcing the hunting dogs back, and then ran away as fast as it could!
"Woof woof woof..." The barking quickly moved northward, causing Zhao Youcai, who had just arrived, to miss his target.
Zhao Youcai was not discouraged. His face was tense, his eyes were resolute, and he continued to chase after them with his semi-automatic rifle in hand.
Today, Zhao Youcai is determined to kill the black bear and prove his more than 30 years of hunting career!
The black bear, being chased by the green tiger and seven dogs, fought its way out, until a mountain stream appeared before it.
At this time, Black Tiger and Eight Dogs were fighting a bear on the north bank, while Green Tiger and Seven Dogs chased the bear to the south bank.
The only difference is that the green tigers are upstream, while the black tigers are downstream.
It's unclear what the black bear was thinking; perhaps it was driven to desperation by the green tiger and the seven dogs, so it chose to cross the stream when it reached the water's edge.
The river stones, smoothed by the mountain stream year after year, were slippery. A black bear, walking hurriedly, slipped on them and fell heavily into the stream.
Water splashed everywhere, and the icy mountain stream water hit their bodies, but it did not diminish the hunting dogs' fighting spirit.
They fiercely stepped into the mountain stream, chasing after the black bear that had tumbled down.
The black bear slid less than two meters before getting up on a flat area. Before it could even shake off the water from its fur, it started running downhill.
It ran, and the green tiger and its dog chased after it.
At this moment, the cries of its companions reached the ears of the Green Tiger, which it recognized as the voices of the Black Tiger and the Green Dragon.
The green tiger's first reaction was that its companions were coming to its aid, and its morale soared. It roared as it swept past the black bear and, with Erhei, blocked the black bear's path.
"Thud!" The black bear fell into the mountain stream, its body aching from being hit by rocks. Enraged, it spun three meters and pounced on the green tiger and Erhei.
The black bear suddenly unleashed its ultimate attack, and the green tiger and Erhei hurriedly dodged. Both dogs avoided the black bear's attack, but Erhei was slightly slower.
The black bear, having landed, pushed off with its hind legs and leaped forward, pouncing onto the ground as it grabbed at Erhei's lower back with its paws.
"Agh!" Erhei let out a miserable cry as the black bear gripped its two groins with its paws, tearing through its leather armor instantly with its sharp claws.
When the bear pounced on the ground, Da Hua, Er Hua, and Hei Niu, who had been chasing after it, frantically bit its rear end, but the bear remained unmoved. At this moment, it became murderous and only wanted to bite Er Hei to death.
"Aow!" Another scream rang out, but this time it wasn't Erhei who made it; it came from the black bear.
Big Black and Big Yellow grabbed the black bear's ears from the left and right, and pulled them back together like dogs using pliers to pull wild boars.
Even though black bears are covered in fur, it doesn't grow all the way to their ears. The two dogs pulled on it and caused the bear's ear to bleed.
The black bear, in pain, abandoned Erhei and got up to scratch at its ears. The two big, clumsy dogs quickly dodged, causing the black bear to turn around.
With its armor for protection, Erhei's injuries weren't too serious. As soon as the black bear loosened its grip, Erhei immediately darted away.
The black bear pounced on Big Black, who tucked his tail between his legs and ran away. The other dogs chased after the bear, biting its rear end, including Big Yellow.
When the two bears were biting the bear's ear, the bear was lying on the ground. When the bear stood up, they could no longer reach it.
However, it must be said that the two bites from each of them caused the black bear a lot of suffering. Both of its ears were bitten open, and blood flowed down its cheeks onto the crescent-shaped white stripes on its chest.
"Hmph...Hmph..." The black bear roared angrily, relentlessly chasing after Big Black.
Seeing that things were not going well, the eldest black dog walked down the stream because it could smell that there were many of its companions over there.
Big Black ran, and Black Bear chased. After running for more than 20 meters, Big Black saw Black Tiger.
Black Tiger was a bit confused. Why were there more and more enemies the more he fought? There was a bear on the left and a bear on the right. Which one should he bite?
