Chapter 400 Taming the Tiger
Chapter 400 Taming the Tiger
Although Lu Cheng did not use his full strength in those punches, he still used about 70% of his strength. If an ordinary person was hit on the head by a punch, he would probably bleed to death on the spot. However, the tiger shook its head and stood up again.
Immediately afterwards, the tiger pounced again, stood up, and slapped Lu Cheng with its two front paws.
Lu Cheng dodged slightly by leaning sideways, then punched out, avoiding the tiger's claws and colliding with its calf.
Feeling the terrifying power coming from the fist, Lu Cheng's fist felt a little numb, and then he quickly jumped away to avoid the subsequent tiger claws.
The tiger's palm power is very strong. In later generations, a Siberian tiger broke into a village and shattered a car window with one slap. It is said that the tiger's slapping force can reach about one ton.
Lu Cheng now had a head-on confrontation with the tiger and discovered that the tiger's strength was indeed very strong, even stronger than Chao Gai whom he had fought before.
If they were to fight with bare hands, I'm afraid that among the 108 generals on Liangshan, not many could defeat an adult tiger.
Seeing the tiger pouncing towards him again, Lu Cheng also wanted to fully test the tiger's ability. He turned around and jumped, grabbed the thick branch of a nearby tree, jumped up, and climbed up the tree in no time.
The tiger had just been caught off guard by Lu Cheng and was now eager to take revenge. It leaped up and climbed directly up the tree, not much slower than a cat.
The rumor that tigers can't climb trees is just a rumor. Blind bears among carnivores can climb trees, let alone tigers among cats?
It’s just that tigers don’t need to climb trees to hunt, and they even disdain to steal bird eggs. Plus, they can easily fall if they climb trees, so it’s rare to see tigers climbing trees.
But when the time comes to climb a tree, the tiger is quite agile. It can quickly grab the tree trunk with its sharp claws and climb up in no time.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Cheng jumped along the tree trunk to another tree to observe the fighting skills and physical strength of the tiger.
The tiger climbed up the tree trunk, and then crawled forward for a distance along a thick branch. When it found that it was a little shaky, it quickly retreated, crawled down the trunk a few times, and came to another big tree.
At this time, Lu Cheng jumped down from the tree and rushed towards the tiger again.
Through the observation just now, it can be basically confirmed that this is an adult male tiger with extremely rich hunting experience.
If Lu Cheng could confront it head-on and defeat it, it would be easier to tame the tiger.
When the tiger saw Lu Cheng jumping down from the tree, it immediately pounced on him again.
The tiger could leap seven or eight meters away and two or three meters high, and in a flash it was in front of Lu Cheng again.
Lu Cheng still seized the opportunity, nimbly dodged the tiger's pounce, and punched from the other side, hitting the tiger's head.
He had just hit the left side, and this time he hit the right side. The tiger's head tilted, and before it could steady itself, Lu Cheng had already jumped on it again. Finally, he pushed down hard, and the tiger was knocked to the ground.
"Bang, bang, bang" a series of punches came down, and the tiger struggled hard. Its four claws dug up the mud underneath, making it fly everywhere, but it still couldn't get rid of the human on its back.
After throwing more than ten punches, Lu Cheng jumped away again. The tiger struggled to stand up, shook its head, and when it looked at Lu Cheng again, there was a little more fear in its eyes.
Lu Cheng lowered his body slightly, clenched his fists, with murderous intent in his eyes, and imitated a tiger roar in his throat, growling at the tiger.
The tiger took a step back unconsciously, then seemed a little ashamed of its own fear, and suddenly pounced on Lu Cheng again.
This time, Lu Cheng did not punch the tiger's head. Instead, the moment the tiger landed on the ground, he leaned on it with his shoulder and knocked the tiger to the ground. Then he rode on the tiger's back again, and circled his arms around the tiger's neck.
The tiger struggled and roared desperately, but to no avail. The anger in its eyes gradually turned into fear, and the sound of its roar became low, like a whine or begging.
Lu Cheng strangled the tiger's neck with his left arm, freed his right hand to pat its head, and imitated the sounds made by the tiger in his throat, trying to communicate with it.
Although animal taming skills may sound mysterious, they actually include a lot of things, such as feeding food, playing interactive games, hunting together, imitating sounds to communicate with animals, etc., all of which can increase intimacy with animals.
The eighth-level animal taming skill includes many sounds that birds and beasts can make, as well as the meanings of various different sounds.
The tiger roar that Lu Cheng imitated, translated into human language, is: "Submit, or die."
Seeing that it could neither fight nor run away, the tiger struggled for a long time before it let out a reluctant growl to show its surrender.
Lu Cheng reached out and let it go. The tiger struggled to stand up, shook its head, took a few steps, looked up at Lu Cheng, then turned around and ran directly into the woods.
Lu Cheng had anticipated this. This wild king of beasts is not so easy to tame.
Only after the tiger ran more than ten feet away did Lu Cheng fly after it.
When the tiger discovered that Lu Cheng was chasing it, it immediately ran forward desperately.
But the fight just now had already consumed a lot of the tiger's physical strength. In addition, he had been hit on the head many times and was still a little confused. He could not run fast. Just after running a distance of more than a hundred feet, he was caught up by Lu Cheng again, and they were walking side by side about ten feet away.
When the tiger saw Lu Cheng approaching, it panicked for a moment and almost bumped into a tree. Then it stepped on a loose piece of soil and slipped.
Lu Cheng approached directly, waited for the right moment, and bumped into him.
The tiger was knocked to the ground again. There was some despair in its eyes. After struggling for a few times, it gave up resisting and let out a low growl of "surrender" from its throat.
Lu Cheng slapped the tiger a few times, making it a little dazed.
"See if you can run away!"
After fighting for a while, Lu Cheng stood up and waved his hand: "Are you still running?"
The tiger did not run away this time. It put its two front paws forward and lowered its head slightly, showing a gesture of submission.
Lu Cheng walked forward, alert in his heart, reached out and touched the tiger's head to confirm that this guy was really convinced this time. Then he patted its head with satisfaction, then turned his hand over and found a piece of raw mutton in his hand.
The tiger looked at Lu Cheng, then looked at the mutton in front of him. For a moment, he was a little confused as to where the mutton came from.
"Eat it. This is a reward for you. As long as you are honest and obedient, you will have plenty to eat in the future."
The tiger had already consumed a lot of energy after running in the battle. Now it lowered its head, swallowed the piece of mutton into its mouth and started eating.
After eating, the tiger looked at Lu Cheng with a more submissive look.
After all the trouble just now, the sky had gradually darkened. Lu Cheng patted the tiger and signaled it to follow him.
The head and body length of this tiger is over 2 meters, and its weight is over 3 kg. It is quite powerful when standing next to Lu Cheng.
Of course, although the tiger has strong explosive power, its endurance is not very good, so it is not suitable as a mount.
Although Lu Cheng is only seventeen years old now and has reached a height of 80 meters, he does not look particularly strong, but his weight exceeds kg, and the density of his muscles and bones exceeds that of ordinary people. If he really rides on this tiger, he will not be able to run.
Moreover, this tiger is only one meter tall at the shoulder, which is not suitable for riding.
When Lu Cheng led the tiger out of the forest, the three horses outside the forest immediately panicked, and Lai Fu and Lai Wang almost lost control.
Lu Cheng blew a whistle to calm the three horses, then patted the head of the tiger beside him.
Lai Fu and Lai Wang panicked when they saw a tiger following Lu Cheng: "Master, be careful!"
Lai Wang even drew out the single-edged sword from his horse's back and was about to rush forward.
Lai Fu was also in a hurry to get the hunting bow on the horse.
Of the two servants, Lai Fu is smart and sensible, and has quick hands and feet, while Lai Wang has strong limbs and a relatively simple mind, and has good fighting ability.
Lu Cheng waved at them and said, "Don't be nervous. I have tamed this tiger."
As he spoke, Lu Cheng patted the tiger's head, and the tiger immediately squatted down and no longer moved forward.
Lai Fu and Lai Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Lu Cheng with admiration: "Young Master is really amazing, he can even tame a tiger."
"That's right. Our young master is a star from heaven who has descended to earth. It's just a tiger, so it's easy for him to catch it, right?"
"Okay, pack up, we'll rest by the woods tonight and set off tomorrow."
"Yes, Master."
This tiger has just been tamed and is not yet completely submissive. It needs to be tamed again.
