Chapter 266 Tiger Hunting and Barbecue Encounters Refugees
Chapter 266 Tiger Hunting and Barbecue Encounters Refugees
A few days later, a red SUV, equipped with snow chains, drove on the road full of ice.
The four people in the car, enjoying the warmth of the air conditioning, all had a slightly flushed complexion.
Why four people? Because the off-road vehicle was fast, they caught up with the army a few days after they set off. In order to have someone to lead the way, they also dragged Fang Shuzhen into the vehicle.
In this northern region, snow falls for most of the year.
Looking up, through the car's windshield, all I could see in the distance was still a snow-capped mountain.
At this moment, Chu Chen felt as if he had arrived at the foot of Mount Everest in modern society.
He couldn't understand why the world was so different just over a thousand kilometers away, like heaven and earth.
No wonder Zhou Shixun looked down on this place.
This area is covered by heavy snow all year round, and the land is pitifully barren.
Without strong survival skills, it's impossible to live in this place.
By this time, they had already shaken off the troops that had marched to the northern frontier.
They walked ahead of them.
"Young Master Chu, it is said that there are many wild beasts in this northern land, so you must be careful."
Fang Shuzhen, sitting in the back seat, spoke to Chu Chen, who was driving.
"Lots of wild animals? That's good, hunting some wild game along the way wouldn't be bad."
Chu Chen turned to Fang Shuzhen and said, his eyes revealing excitement.
It's said that which man doesn't love hunting, and Chu Chen would often carry an air rifle up the mountain in Mashan Village whenever he had free time.
But as the fighting continued, the number of prey in the mountains behind Mashan Village dwindled.
In order to protect the ecological environment, Chu Chen issued a suggestion in the village: hunting should be prohibited in the back mountain of Mashan Village.
This is really just a matter of minding your own business, because no one else will fight him.
For this reason, Chu Chen had not been to the mountains for a long time.
Upon hearing that there was prey to hunt, they instantly became excited.
Fang Shuzhen was also surprised after hearing this: "Young Master Chu is joking. Once the prey from the northern frontier appears, it is something that no human can contend with. So, it is best to be careful."
None of them refuted Fang Shuzhen's words.
Chen Qingxuan knew Chu Chen's abilities, and Zhou Heng knew them to some extent as well.
With the black staff on his sworn brother's body, he could even kill a tenth-grade grandmaster, so why would he be afraid of a mere wild beast?
Seeing this, Zhou Heng changed the subject: "Shuzhen, when will we be able to reach this city in the northern frontier?"
"Your Highness, at our current pace, we should arrive in about two more days."
Just as the two were talking, Chu Chen suddenly slammed on the brakes and stopped the car.
"Wake up, you drunkard! You drive, I'll get you guys something good to eat."
When everyone looked up, they saw a huge tiger, as big as an ox, blocking the car's path.
"Holy crap, is this thing some kind of sentient being, you idiot? What are you trying to do?"
Chen Qingxuan woke up from his sleep and stared at Chu Chen, who was looking excited.
Have you ever eaten tiger meat?
"I've eaten it!"
"But I've never eaten here before. Stop talking nonsense and let's change seats."
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he stood up and moved to the back.
He then opened the sunroof and stuck half of his body out.
The tiger stared at the SUV that had suddenly appeared in front of it, looking quite puzzled.
But when they saw a two-legged creature's head suddenly pop out from the SUV, they instantly became excited.
It was freezing cold, and there was hardly any prey. He had already eaten most of the prey in his own territory.
The tiger thought to itself, "Isn't this God feeding me?"
Looking into the car through the head of the two-legged beast on the roof, the tiger became even more excited.
Because he saw that inside the red box were three two-legged beast heads.
Then it let out a loud cry towards the sky and assumed an attack stance.
Then, with a powerful leap, it hurtled towards Chu Chen's half-body on the roof of the car...
About half an hour later, a fire was lit in the snow.
Beside the fire, four men wearing thick cotton-padded coats were drooling over a large lump of meat on the fire.
"Brother, your ingredients are really delicious, I can't resist them."
"Yes, Young Master Chu, is it ready to eat?"
Zhou Heng and Fang Shuzhen stared intently at the tiger meat like elementary school students.
A moment later, Chen Qingxuan put down the wine bottle in his hand and took out a dagger from his waist.
In no time at all, the tiger meat was divided into four pieces.
Fang Shuzhen, who had just warned Chu Chen to be careful of large wild animals, was now gnawing on the meat in his hand.
He kept saying "It smells so good!"
Just as they were enjoying the delicious roast meat, a group of ragged people suddenly rushed down from the mountain.
"Who are you? Why are you heading north, and why did you kill the tiger we saw first..."
Upon seeing this, Chu Chen and the other three immediately stood up.
There were about twenty people who came, but they were all dressed in tattered and thin clothes.
"Your tigers? You think the stuff you have isn't just going to feed the tigers?"
Chen Qingxuan spoke first, drawing his longsword.
At this moment, when everyone saw Chen Qingxuan draw his sword, they all froze on the spot and dared not utter a sound.
Seeing that something was wrong, Chu Chen waved to stop Chen Qingxuan and turned to the newcomers, asking, "Who are you? Why are you in this deep mountain forest?"
Seeing that Chen Qingxuan had sheathed his sword, an older man stepped out from the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for any offense caused by my young man's poor manners!"
"We are from that northern city. We were forced to flee here due to famine."
Forced into a corner, fleeing the famine? After hearing this, Chu Chen looked into the crowd once more.
There were about twenty people, including men and women, and even a child who was about a year old.
The child was wearing a thin linen garment and a piece of animal skin wrapped around his lower body. Perhaps because he had stopped running, he was shivering with cold.
Seeing this, Chu Chen turned to Zhou Heng and said, "There's something wrong with this."
Zhou Heng nodded after listening, then turned to the middle-aged man who had spoken and asked, "How is Saibei City? Why are people fleeing the famine?"
"Your Excellency is from the Central Plains, isn't that right? The Northern City has been occupied by the Bear People Kingdom, who are committing all sorts of atrocities in the city, burning, killing, looting, and burning. We are despicable and helpless, so we thought of fleeing to the Central Plains in order to survive."
Zhou Heng frowned upon hearing this: "What about the city's garrison?"
"The city garrison? Where is the city garrison? They were all slaughtered the day after the Great Bear Kingdom arrived."
Zhou Heng clenched his fists tightly after hearing this: "You audacious bear-like people, how dare you invade my territory..."
Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, your identity cannot be revealed right now!"
After saying that, he pulled Zhou Heng behind him and said to the group of people, "Everyone must be tired. Sit down and have something to eat and warm yourselves by the fire."
