Tigers are the king of the forest, king of hundred beast. Naturally they have many weapons. Its front mouth, its claw, its strong back and its goldish tail, those four are the tiger's arsenal.
That beautiful beast is observing Liu Mang slowly. A moment ago, it regarded Liu Mang as a prey, but now it regarded Liu Mang as a match. Therefore this tiger took all precautions against this unknown enemy. One pair of tiger's eye are observing his movement.
Liu Mang also looking at the tiger, cannot show fear at all! Regarding battle, animals and humans are the same, once you show fear, in that instant you will die. If you look at each other, he will also be scared to do anything rashly.
One man and one tiger confronting each other while walking in circle. Liu Mang did not have the strength to attack and is also afraid, whole the tiger cannot look down upon his opponent.
The tiger is the one who tired first, it got impatient. Suddenly it leaped fiercely toward Liu Mang, like a strong gust of wind.
Liu Mang quickly dodged that lunge and jumped sideways. Its big jaw almost hit him, and because of that he can smell its bad breath and sickly strong odor of blood.
It didn't wait for Liu Mang to form a stance again, swiftly that beast changed its direction and attacked him again.
“I cannot dodge it!” Its distance and Liu Mang is too near, he cannot dodge in time, and he also couldn't make another move to shield his body. He had No option, Liu Mang raised his great shield to his chest.
“Bang!” That beautiful tiger's huge stature pounding and pinning down Liu Mang's body.
“ARGH!!!” Liu Mang felt like his body is broken all over. This tiger has the length of about 3 meters and a weight around 600-Jin. A 600-jin impact pounding a person would usually result in internal bleeding followed by unconsciousness. That would be considered a very lucky hit, the worst is dead.
TL: 1 Jin is 0.5 kg 600=300kg=661 pounds of force.
Liu Mang who had the protection of a great shield and Aries gold cloth did not have any flesh wound, but his internal organs are hurting due to that pound. He started to spit out blood due to internal damage.
Because now Liu Mang is basically an impregnable fortress, he did not have any openings at all. That tiger already started biting Liu Mang to pry open the armor, only to find its teeth hurting all over due to the material of the armor.
Usually if a tiger cannot bite open a person's helmet and armor, it will leave ASAP. But now is different, that tiger is not just hungry today but its domain is in threat because of Liu Mang’s provocation.
Competition for domain and food are forever nature's principles for survival.
“Release me!!!” Liu Mang struggling to escape from its paw. Pressed by a 600-jin thing, will make Liu Mang spit blood. If pressed again, he really will be flattened. In Liu Mang hand, his vein already exposed, his two arms pushing the great shield up trying to escape from tiger's pinning pressure.
“ROARRR!” Tiger roared again fiercely. Oh, this man wants to do contest of strength, the tiger also strengthened its paws pressure.
“I would rather be bitten to death, than being flatten!” Liu Mang was not yet finished, and like a rabbit who suddenly gained an ability to jump the high wall, both of his eyes already almost red due to increase in blood flow an unbelievable strength suddenly came rising from his body.
TL: it is his adrenal strength are playing http://www.nononsenseselfdefense.com/adrenal.htm plus because he got training, his adrenal strength may be much bigger than usual.
“It is this strength!” Liu Mang realized it because he has experienced it several times. This great strength sometimes appear, sometimes vanish. This strength is also the main reason that Liu Mang can survive several battles.
“HAAAAAA!!!!!” With adrenal strength alone, Liu Mang is able to push back this 600-jin tiger.
“ROARRR!!!!” The tiger knows that the current condition requires it to go all out, it needs to press him again and again and dig its nail into Liu Mang's body. A predator is still a predator, even a human who invents tools to face it, it is still no match for a natural predator. Liu Mang was already almost standing but the tiger kept pressing down.
”Whiz, whiz, whiz!” There are three arrow volleys aiming at the tiger's forehead, buttock and chest simultaneously. This is Gao Shun's 3 volley arrows and his specialty with archery.
It does not matter if these three hit its target or not, as long as it is able to give the tiger heavy losses.
Man is the highest of all creatures because we have the wisdom to control the world but predators have an instinct of their own. When that tiger felt those three arrows are closing, it is quickly reminded of its wounded ear and quickly leaped from Liu Mang's body to suddenly avoid those three arrows.
“DAMN IT!!!” Gao Shun sighed. If that time those arrows hit its target, this tiger would have been wounded severely. A tiger's body is a treasure trove medicinal ingredients. The value of a tiger really not small. So Gao Shun quickly pulled out three arrows again, and tried to shoot again.
Liu Mang also leapt from the ground and made a stance. He tried to become the king of ten thousand beasts. The forest tiger who now occupies one forest, again is threat of losing one's territory, because someone who rode a horse and even shoots from it is fighting him, so the tiger hurried dashing toward Liu Mang.
“FUCKIN HELL!!!” This tiger only has an eye for me??? Hey, it is not me who just shot you, it's Gao Shun, GAO SHUN!!! Liu Mang cannot help but whine to himself. Although in his heart, he already concocted the evil thought on how to make this tiger to attack Big Bro Gao, it looks like this tiger only has him for its target.
“Hmmm?!” Watching the tiger and Liu Mang again battling, Gao Shun contemplated whether or not put down his bow and arrow. This tiger already decided to take on Liu Mang as its enemy!!! So they once again entangled again. So for Gao Shun to not injure Liu Mang, he ceased his shooting.
“WOOOSSH!” A golden-ish light sweeping Liu Mang, because Liu Mang cannot see clearly what happened, his great shield received a big impact. That big impact nearly made him throw the great shield. He calmed down and looking around at what that golden light is, it is really the tail of the tiger.
“That is its tail!” Tiger's tail is the secret weapon of a tiger. One who was stricken with the tail will have fallen. So Liu Mang hurried to avoid that strike, when that tail hit the ground, it cracked the soil a little.
“GAAAHHHH!” Liu Mang suck down his saliva. Although the ground in Three Kingdoms era are soil, its texture is very solid. Especially since it is not rainy day, so the ground is pretty solid and this tiger is able to crack the soil a little with its tail? This implies that the force of that tiger can break one bone.
Liu Mang was stunned for a moment, this time the tiger did not lunge toward Liu Mang, but swept at him again with its tail. Due to not paying attention, Liu Mang took a direct hit. Can you withstand the power of 600-jin thing hitting you??? It looks like a train with cargo running you over.
“BRAGH!” Liu Mang who was stunned for a moment, was hit and flying back several meters once the impact reached him.
“Good opportunity!” The tiger and Liu Mang have separated. Gao Shun then shot 3 volley arrows again. Although the arrows were quick, the tiger was quicker, in one leap, those 3 arrows are able to be avoided by tiger.
Liu Mang hurried to get that great shield and make a stance again.
Unfortunately, this time the tiger also learned from its mistake. It did not target Liu Mang, but it directly rammed Liu Mang's great shield. Because of that momentum, Liu Mang lost his grip on the great shield and the shield flying away.
“I am finished!!!” He no longer had a shield naturally he is panicking now. During that moment, the tiger rushed, trying to bite Liu Mang's face and neck.
“ROARRRRR!!!!!!” At this time, there is a second roar from the distance. Is there a second tiger??? A tiger can already kill Liu Mang, if two tigers came, even suicide will become a luxury.
