Chapter 78: The Show Begins
Under the gradually dimming sky, Luo Ji and his group cautiously made their way to a safe position that Luo Jin had previously scouted.
This area was originally the saber-toothed tiger’s territory, other wild animals dared not approach.
Their current location was directly above a natural rock cave.
Simply put, the cave below was the saber-toothed tiger’s lair!
Upon learning this, Luo Ji and his companions all crouched down.
Even Black Jackal, who had just received his newly made battle axe yesterday and wished to fight Luo Yong for 300 rounds, was now obediently huddled above the cave, terrified of accidentally being discovered by the saber-toothed tiger.
“Is that saber-toothed tiger in the cave below right now?”
Luo Yong asked, gripping his twin axes and lowering his voice.
Liu Chuan glanced at the setting sun in the distance, then shook his head.
“Hard to say.”
“It might have returned, or it might not have.”
This uncertain answer made Luo Yong’s facial muscles twitch.
“Damn, no definite answer, how are we supposed to fight?”
Upon hearing this, Liu Chuan was about to say something, but unexpectedly, a heavy thudding sound suddenly came from the dense forest directly opposite the rock cave.
At this moment, everyone’s hearts tightened.
They held their breath, their wide eyes fixed on the direction from which the footsteps came.
Soon, a burly figure emerged from the dense forest.
It was precisely the saber-toothed tiger that had escaped from the encirclement of Luo Yong and the others earlier!
They recognized the wounds on its body.
Only two days had passed, clearly not enough time for the wounds to heal.
Many of the wounds were still oozing blood, staining the surrounding tawny fur a dark red.
On the saber-toothed tiger’s two saber-like fangs, a dead roe deer was currently clenched, evidently its dinner for the day.
“Chief…”
A drop of cold sweat slid down Luo Yong’s forehead due to extreme tension.
He spoke in a low voice, but Luo Ji shook his head.
“Don’t rush.”
“We’re here to watch a good show today.”
As the saber-toothed tiger walked into its lair with the roe deer’s carcass in its mouth, Luo Ji did not give the order to attack.
Black Jackal, equally nervous, glanced at Luo Yong, his eyes questioning, clearly unable to understand Luo Ji’s actions at this moment.
Luo Yong shook his head, indicating he didn’t know either.
However, his loyalty to Luo Ji prevented him from doubting the order.
Time passed minute by minute.
Gradually, the sky completely darkened.
By the bright moonlight spilling from the sky, they could vaguely make out the scene below.
This silent atmosphere made Black Jackal inexplicably uncomfortable.
He was about to lose patience.
He instinctively turned back to look at the others, but the sight that met his eyes made him freeze.
He saw the tribal warriors who had come along, each squatting on the ground with resolute expressions, none showing impatience.
At the same time, perhaps it was Black Jackal’s illusion, but their movements and postures seemed to have remained unchanged from the very beginning.
A hint of disbelief flashed in Black Jackal’s eyes.
Undoubtedly, this was the effect of military training!
Perhaps the steady atmosphere influenced him, as the irritation in Black Jackal’s heart mysteriously subsided a little.
Just then, a wolf howl echoed in the distance, causing everyone’s breathing to unconsciously quicken.
All eyes simultaneously fell on Luo Ji, as if waiting for their chief’s command.
However, before Luo Ji could make a move, a deafening tiger roar suddenly erupted from the cave below, startling a flock of birds to scatter.
Accompanying this roar, the saber-toothed tiger’s burly figure quickly charged out of the cave.
At the same time, from the dense forest opposite, accompanied by countless fleeting black shadows, pairs of glowing green eyes lit up in the darkness.
“The show has begun.”
Luo Ji, crouching above the cave, looked at the scene below.
A grin spread across his face, revealing an excited smile.
Luo Yong and Black Jackal, who were crouching on either side of Luo Ji, naturally heard his words clearly.
A flash of astonishment, but more so disbelief, crossed their faces.
“How could wolves attack a saber-toothed tiger?”
Under normal circumstances, a wolf pack would certainly not attack a saber-toothed tiger.
On the internet in modern society, people often ask silly questions like, “Can a wolf pack defeat a tiger?” or “Can a wolf pack defeat a bear?”
But in reality, these questions are fundamentally flawed, because a wolf pack, under normal circumstances, would not include tigers and bears in their hunting list.
They are very similar to humans, when they act, they have a standard for weighing pros and cons and risks.
They will not do things that pose too great a risk, which is where their intelligence lies.
However, there are exceptions to everything.
For example, if a high-risk target is injured, and they are truly too hungry…
It must be said that Luo Ji’s luck was quite good at this moment, as if his fortunes were turning.
Some time ago, when Luo Jin was on a reconnaissance mission, he suddenly discovered wolf tracks on the snow, which had previously been confirmed to be safe.
Coupled with the severe cold period some time ago, which caused a large number of wild animals to freeze to death.
The wolf pack was probably unable to find prey in their original hunting grounds, which led them to migrate a long distance and appear here.
Luo Ji, recalling this information at the time, had a sudden flash of inspiration and immediately decided to have Luo Jin subtly lure them, employing this tactic of “driving wolves to devour a tiger!”
The hungry wolves lurking in the dense forest, seeing that the saber-toothed tiger was indeed injured, immediately unleashed a fierce glare in their green eyes.
Accompanied by a loud howl from the alpha wolf in the rear, the wolf pack’s offensive immediately began!
One hungry wolf after another, with a savage look, frantically charged out of the dense forest, opening their menacing, gaping maws to bite the saber-toothed tiger outside the cave!
The ancient overlord, subjected to the wolf pack’s attack, flew into a rage.
Its furious roars echoed throughout the entire dense forest territory.
A fierce battle between the wolf pack and the ancient overlord, the saber-toothed tiger, immediately commenced.
This truly fulfilled Luo Ji’s words, the show had begun!
Facing this situation, Luo Yong and Black Jackal, crouching above the cave, were filled with astonishment, having never expected things to escalate to this point.
Such a monumental battle would probably not be witnessed even once in a lifetime, and they all watched with wide eyes.
Just then, a “rustling” sound suddenly came from behind them, causing Luo Yong and the others to quickly snap back to attention.
“What is it?!”
As the three words were uttered, a wolf head suddenly emerged from the bushes, instantly causing everyone to break out in a cold sweat!
