Thunder 's Triumph in the Wilderness Chapter 6

I rode on the horizontal branch, hugged the trunk, wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, and looked down at the tree. The vicious tiger was roaring wildly, forcing Thunder Pili to retreat. Suddenly, the tiger turned around and ran straight to the bushes. About seventy or eighty meters away from the chestnut tree, there stood Old A-Dai, the Second Ivy, the hungry ghost, and the Daisy Silly. Although Old A-Dai was a male elephant, he was old and frail, and was obviously no match for the Bengal tiger. The Second Ivy was a woman and did not have sharp tusks that could be used as a weapon. She could only cheer and drum up support and be a deputy, but it was difficult for her to take on the heavy responsibility of a head-on confrontation with the Bengal tiger. The hungry ghost was just a young elephant of seven or eight years old, whose tusks had not yet grown, and could not compete with the tiger. The Daisy Silly was only five or six years old, a frail girl, and was exactly the target of the tiger's interest.

All carnivores, including the king of beasts, the tiger, are opportunists. They pick on the weak and bite the weak. The vicious tiger must have seen that I had climbed up the chestnut tree and could not do anything to me, so it changed its target in time and attacked the immature elephant.

At first it wanted to attack the youngest Silver Gray Nose, but seeing that the strong and powerful Thunder Pili and the female elephant Bai Yuniang were beside Silver Gray Nose, it was afraid that it would not be easy to succeed, so it jumped into the bushes. The Bengal tiger was agile and ran like the wind. In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of the four white elephants, one old, one female and two young. The Second Ivy reacted the fastest. She slapped the hungry ghost on the B*tt and took the hungry ghost into a rocky ditch. The Daisy Silly was so scared that she hid behind the Old Grayson. The Old Grayson slowly shook his tusks and trunk and got ready for the fight.

Pilixiong followed the tiger and ran a few steps, apparently wanting to rescue Old Dai and Daisy Silly, but after it ran more than ten meters, it turned its head to look under the chestnut tree, made a circle and ran back, roaring like Thunder Pili as it ran. I knew that Pilixiong was afraid that the cunning tiger would play a trick of feinting to the east and attacking in the west, and after luring it away from under the chestnut tree, he would turn around and attack Yinhuibi. Yinhuibi and Lily White were still under the chestnut tree. Yinhuibi was the youngest and most vulnerable to harm from the tiger, and should be the key protected object. Pilixiong ran back to the chestnut tree, and Lily White, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiched Yinhuibi in the middle, and rushed to the bushes together.

If the two groups of white elephants could get together, and several adult elephants worked together, the more elephants the stronger the power, and it would be difficult for the tiger to gain any advantage. The Bengal tiger seemed to have seen this and quickened the pace of its attack. It suddenly jumped to the east, trying to jump onto the Daisy Silly's back and bite her, and suddenly slipped to the west, showing its tiger claws to tear and scratch the Daisy Silly's face. The Daisy Silly was so stupid that she was trembling with fear. She stood there, closed her eyes, and did not move. She probably thought it could not see the tiger. So it could no longer be seen. Old Grayson was exhausted from running. His legs were not very agile to begin with. He just rushed to the east to stop the evil tiger from jumping onto the Daisy Silly's back. Before he could react, the evil tiger had turned to the west to tear and scratch the Daisy Silly's face. He had no choice but to stretch out his nose to cover the Daisy Silly's face. The sharp tiger claws fell down, and Old Grayson's nose was torn, but at least the tiger claws did not hurt the Daisy Silly. Of course the evil tiger would not give up. It swung its tiger tail decorated with black and yellow rings, and then swiftly changed direction to bite the Daisy Silly. The Bengal tiger lives in the tropical rainforest where Asian elephants roam. It has developed a set of superb skills for hunting baby elephants. It is accustomed to pouncing on the baby elephant with lightning speed, biting the side of the baby elephant's neck, or twisting the baby elephant's cervical vertebrae, or biting off the baby elephant's arteries. Then, before the rescue adult elephants arrive, it flees the scene in a flash, hiding nearby to track and spy. A seriously injured baby elephant will die from excessive bleeding and severe injuries within a few hours at least, or a day or two at most. After the sad herd of elephants leave the dying baby elephant, the tiger will come out to pick up the prey.

Pilixiong and Lily White were still quite a distance away from the bushes, and the tiger still had time to jump on the Daisy Silly and bite her hard. Old Ah Dai was staggering and dizzy, and unable to do anything. After the tiger changed direction, the Daisy Silly was completely exposed to its claws. I could see it clearly from the tree. The tiger was crouching with its limbs bent and its body leaning back, and it was about to jump. Old Ah Dai was still behind the Daisy Silly. The Daisy Silly was finished, I thought. At this moment, I saw Old Ah Dai's nose erect, and his body stood up straight. His two front hooves were raised in the air, and he stepped over the Daisy Silly like a hurdle race. The Daisy Silly was pressed to her knees. Old Ah Dai was like a huge cover, covering the Daisy Silly. The tiger had already jumped and pounced on Old Ah Dai, hanging across his shoulder blades, opening its bloody mouth, biting Old Ah Dai's neck, and making angry tiger roars as he bit.

I guess that although the tiger jumped on Old Fool and bit him, its real purpose was not to kill him in such a short moment. The skin of adult elephants is thick and tough, especially the old elephants, which are full of wrinkles. They take mud baths every few days. Mud and sand are embedded in their skin and hair, making them as hard as armor. No matter how sharp the tiger's fangs are, it is difficult to bite through them in one bite. The neck of an adult male elephant is as thick as a bucket, with bulging muscles. No matter how powerful the tiger's jaws are, it is difficult to break its cervical vertebrae. What's more, if the tiger was really determined to kill Old Fool, there was no need to make a thrilling tiger roar while biting him. Its purpose was very clear. It was to use cruel bites and harsh tiger roars to intimidate and force Old Fool, who was covering the Daisy Silly, to flee in panic, and then launch a fatal attack and fight on the Daisy Silly.

The sharp fangs pierced into the skin of Old Ah Dai, the tiger head swung, biting and tearing fiercely, Old Ah Dai let out a shrill howl, two useless tusks danced wildly in the air, and his eyeballs seemed to be about to pop out of his sockets, looking extremely painful, but his body was as hard as a rock, motionless. A cut was bitten on his neck by the tiger's fangs, and blood gushed out, but he still covered the Daisy Silly tightly like an iron cover

There are eight species in the world, including the Siberian tiger, South China tiger, Java tiger, Sumatra tiger, Bali tiger, Caucasian tiger, Southeast Asian tiger and Bengal tiger. The Siberian tiger is the largest and the Bengal tiger is the most ferocious. Other species of tigers, after pouncing on their prey, usually bite the prey's throat to suffocate it before killing it. But the Bengal tiger will skin and gnaw the meat of its prey while it is still struggling to breathe after pouncing on it, feasting on it, killing and eating it alive. It is extremely brutal. At this moment, the evil tiger used this signature trick and bit off a piece of skin and meat from the junction of Old Grayson's shoulder blade and neck, chewing it, and then stretching its neck to swallow it into its stomach.
