Chapter 161 There are bears nearby
When they reached an open place, the tiger ignored Du Ruo, lay on the ground, held down the little wild boar with its paws, and started to bite and eat it.
Du Ruo, who was standing by, took out a knife, bled and skinned the little wild boar, then lit a fire and started roasting it.
The man and the tiger get along quite harmoniously. This is the advantage of Du Ruo having a hunting license. He just eats with a clear conscience.
However, Lao Hu had already eaten the whole wild boar, while Du Ruo's little wild boar was still being slowly roasted.
The tiger did not run away after eating, as if it knew that Du Ruo would not hurt it, so it lay down not far from Du Ruo and began to rest.
"Haha, you know what, all cats are quite interesting."
Du Ruo was grilling meat while watching the tiger snoring and sleeping soundly, occasionally wagging its tail or shaking its ears. The tiger's appearance was actually quite interesting, if one could ignore its exaggeratedly large size.
A small wild boar, with only 20 kilograms of meat left after removing the internal organs, head and the like. When it was being roasted to a charred aroma, a tiger nearby woke up when it smelled the scent.
The tiger sniffed and came to Du Ruo following the scent.
"Want to eat? Then have a piece."
Du Ruo looked at the tiger sniffing with curiosity, tore off a small piece and put it in his palm, then handed it to the tiger's mouth.
The action seems casual, but in fact the other hand has already clenched into a fist.
The tiger glanced at Du Ruo, then sniffed the barbecue and licked it carefully, and a small piece of barbecue went into its mouth.
"Humph~"
After smacking his lips, the tiger exhaled a puff of hot air from its nose, with an expression of disgust obvious on its face. It turned around and returned to the place where it had just slept, lying down and continuing to rest.
"Well, I still feel disgusted."
Du Ruo didn't care. This was why he liked cats. They were smart and spiritual, and most importantly, they knew the times and knew which ones were not to be messed with.
He shook his head, picked up the barbecue, put it to his mouth and started eating.
Du Ruo, who was already starving, didn't care about the taste anymore. He took out a bottle of medicinal wine, ate the barbecue and tiger bone wine, and enjoyed it very much. He finished the twenty pounds of barbecue in no time.
After eating, Du Ruo did not leave. He walked to the tiger, sat down, and then leaned on the tiger's belly and began to doze off. Although his "energy" was continuing to recover, his physical fatigue still existed.
Before going to bed, Du Ruo opened the panel and scanned it.
Three flowers: 18%
Five Qi: 19%
"This time, comprehending the tiger form has made the three flowers and five qi improve so much?"
Du Ruo was very surprised, and he also understood why the true meaning of water in the eagle form, horse form, and crocodile form that he had comprehended before could only display part of it, but the tiger form he comprehended this time could actually cover the whole body and even compete with the tiger.
You have to know that there are actually essential differences between humans and tigers. In modern society, we have never heard of anyone who can fight a tiger with bare hands.
Even if it was Tyson in his prime, he would probably only be able to make the Tiger King eat more.
Seeing this number, Du Ruo knew that this trip was not in vain.
Thinking of this, Du Ruo slowly closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.
Although Du Ruo seemed to be falling asleep, his body was actually running Hunyuan Qigong, and a part of his "spirit" was still left observing the tiger.
Du Ruo would not be so foolish as to trust this tiger so much.
After Du Ruo's breathing calmed down, Hu Xianfeng opened his eyes, glanced at Du Ruo, opened his mouth, then moved his body slightly, adjusted his sleeping position, and continued to sleep.
Soon, a snoring sound was heard. The man and the tiger fell asleep under the shade of the tree. The snoring was not only coming from Tiger Xianfeng's chest, but also from Du Ruo who was leaning on Tiger Xianfeng. As they fell into deep sleep, the snoring frequencies of the two began to become synchronized.
For the next two days, Du Ruo and Hu Xianfeng ate and slept together.
They hunted and played together. Sometimes, when Du Ruo was interested, he would have a fight with Tiger Vanguard, but of course, it was more of a playful fight.
Of course Du Ruo was just joking, but Tiger Vanguard had no idea whether he was joking or not. Du Ruo didn't care if he was attacked or slapped with his tiger claws. He just regarded it as the other party's joking. However, if Tiger Vanguard attacked suddenly, he would basically be beaten up.
Occasionally, the two would run wildly in the forest, causing the small animals in the forest to run around in panic.
However, he would not run with all his strength like the first time. If Du Ruo got tired, he would jump onto the back of Tiger Pioneer and let Tiger Pioneer carry him for a while.
At this time, Du Ruo no longer cared about his location. He only turned on his mobile phone occasionally and chatted with Xiang Yuanyuan for a while every day. When there was a signal, they would video chat. If the signal was too bad, Du Ruo would also take a video of him and Hu Xianfeng playing and send it to Xiang Yuanyuan.
Of course, it wasn't just Du Ruo who talked during each conversation. Xiang Yuanyuan would also talk about the business of the B&B, the situation in the village, or what delicious food Du Ruo's mother had brought her.
Time passed quickly. Du Ruo and Hu Xianfeng had already stayed there for almost three days. There were traces of them in many places in the forest. Unfortunately, during these three days, Du Ruo saw a lot of wild animals, including roe deer, wild deer, musk deer, and various birds. Wild boars were a frequent guest in Du Ruo and Hu Xianfeng's meals.
But the bear has never been seen. I don’t know if it’s because of the different territories, but Du Ruo has never encountered it. “Tiger Vanguard, I should go.”
Early that morning, after Du Ruo woke up, he checked the supplies in his backpack, patted Tiger Pioneer's big head, and said something reluctantly.
The main reason is that my mobile phone is out of battery and my power bank only has one bar of power left. If I don’t go out now, I’m afraid that the navigation and positioning will not be able to be turned on. When that time comes, it will be very troublesome to go out.
The only other things left were two bottles of medicinal wine. I have eaten more meat these days, so I consumed less medicinal wine.
"roar~"
Tiger Vanguard didn't understand what Du Ruo said, so he shook his head, stretched out his front legs, lay on the ground, stretched, and yawned.
"Forget it. I'm too lazy to tell you. You should just be at your ease."
Du Ruo felt reluctant to leave the tiger as he looked at the comfortable tiger. He rubbed Tiger Vanguard's head again, put on his backpack, plugged his phone into the power bank, turned it on, and ran towards the nearest town.
"Ouch~~"
It was not until Du Ruo ran a long way that Tiger Vanguard seemed to react and roared in the distance.
“Haha, this guy.”
Du Ruo paused for a moment, then quickened his pace again. He didn't want to disrupt Hu Xianfeng's current free life, so he never thought about taking Hu Xianfeng out or anything like that.
So Du Ruo saw a river not far away on the map, so he simply walked towards the river. When he reached the riverside, Du Ruo dived into the water, then stepped on the icy cold water and just ran in the river.
He was worried that the tiger vanguard would follow his scent, so he used the river water to carry away the scent, thus avoiding disturbing the tiger's free life.
"Haha, they're still chasing me. Tiger Vanguard must be eager for me to leave."
Du Ruo was walking in the river and couldn't help but look back. This place was quite far away from where he entered the water and he couldn't see it even if he looked back.
"Ouch!!!"
What Du Ruo didn't know was that Tiger Vanguard had actually tracked him to the river and even swam into the water for a while. Finally, he made sure that he had lost Du Ruo's scent, then he returned to the shore, opened his mouth and roared loudly. He wandered around for a long time, but didn't see Du Ruo again, so he turned around and went back into the woods.
He kept walking in shallow water until the water became deep, and then Du Ruo started to go ashore.
The navigation map showed that he had arrived in Yichun, which was more than 200 kilometers away from Gangzi Village.
Du Ruo went down the river and unexpectedly found traces left by a black bear along the way.
Don’t ask Du Ruo how he knew those were the traces of a black bear, because there was a sign on the side of the road that read: “There is a black bear nearby!!”
The sign was particularly eye-catching. Combined with the fact that some bark had been rubbed off and large footprints could occasionally be seen on the ground, Du Ruo would be a fool if he didn't know that there was a black bear nearby.
"Forget it, let's go get some supplies first, and I really need to clean up my current appearance."
Du Ruo thought about it and decided not to look for Black Bear. He now needed to find a place to eat some food. It would be even better if he could wash up and change some clothes.
Du Ruo took Dahua to the mountain and stayed there for almost a week. When he first met Tiger Pioneer, he was kicked by it. In addition, he played with it frequently, so his clothes were torn in many places.
Moreover, he had an untidy beard and messy hair, and looked almost like a homeless person.
No wonder every time he video chatted with Yuanyuan, she would occasionally look at him and smile.
Thinking of this, Du Ruo checked the navigation and found that this place was not far from the city. With Du Ruo's walking speed, it should take only about 20 minutes to get there. So there was no need to consider going anywhere else and he ran straight to the city.
Fifteen minutes later, Du Ruo's phone was completely out of battery, so he simply hailed a taxi on the side of the road and took it to the commercial street.
Du Ruo planned to have a good meal and then buy some clothes. It would be even better if he could find a bathhouse to take a comfortable bath.
"We're here. This is the busiest commercial street nearby. There's a commercial street in the middle, a snack street on the left, and a bar street on the right, hehe."
The taxi stopped by the roadside and pointed the way for Du Ruo, and he was still laughing at the end of his speech.
"Okay, thank you, Master."
Du Ruo took out cash from his backpack and paid the fare.
Du Ruo prepared this cash just in case. After all, when running around in the mountains, it is possible that the phone might be lost, damaged, or run out of battery.
