Chapter 5 Killing the Tiger King
[Task requirements, kill the Tiger King]

【Mission time: ten days】

When Li Zhen woke up, he was already possessed by a strong man.

Judging from his clothes, he was wearing ancient cloth clothes.

The memories of the man in his mind began to come to him one after another, making him realize that he was now living in an era similar to the Tang Dynasty.

As for his mission, the tiger king was near the village where this man lived.

"If it's just killing a tiger, it shouldn't be difficult." Li Zhen pondered. Unfortunately, because of his soul traveling through time and space, the sniper rifle's ability couldn't be used, otherwise one bullet would be enough.

But at least in his opinion, this was much simpler than the last time when he encountered a murderous disaster as soon as he went there.

After all, a tiger is still an animal with limited intelligence. If he were to take action, there would be at least three ways to kill the tiger.

Li Zhen quickly took action.

He asked the villagers about the tiger, hoping to get some useful information.

"That tiger is the tiger king. I heard it's about ten feet long and extremely ferocious. Normally, three or five people are no match for it. If we go, we'll just lose our lives in vain."

"Before, a group of hunters tried to hunt that giant bug, but in the end, several of them were eaten by it. It was really fierce."

Li Zhen got some information from some elderly people in the village.

They were all talking about how powerful the tiger was.

Of course, this may have been exaggerated and can only be used as a reference.

So Li Zhen made preparations for both scenarios.

He found a poisonous plant near the village - oleander, which made him very happy. Oleander is very poisonous and can kill people with just a little poison. So he spent some time collecting oleander venom, and planned to use the toxicity of oleander to poison the tiger to death.

It started to rain lightly in the evening.

After the light rain, toads came out one by one.

When Li Zhen saw the toads, his eyes lit up and he immediately caught a dozen more toads.

Toads secrete a white liquid that produces a hallucinogenic effect.

Oleander plus toad secretions are a two-pronged approach.

Of course, there is a prerequisite, the tiger must be poisoned.

In addition to poisoning the tiger, Li Zhen also issued a reward.

Hunting Tiger King.

This is the key.

Any hunter who participates in the hunting can get ten taels of silver.

Ten taels of silver is enough to cover the annual expenses of ordinary people.

Money is a great asset, and hunters from various villages rushed to the scene upon hearing the news.

Before this, Li Zhen was already wearing gorgeous clothes, and he looked like a rich man at first glance.

The principle of respecting the clothes first and then the person was particularly obvious in ancient times. Ordinary people could not afford to wear such clothes.

"Is it true that we can get so much money by hunting tigers together?"

Even though Li Zhen dressed like a rich man, some people still doubted him.

"Yeah, don't lie to us."

"There are already more than 20 of us here. Can you come up with so much money by then?"

As more and more hunters arrived, such voices of distrust gradually increased.

After all, ten taels of silver is not a small amount.

These hunters looked at Li Zhen with confused expressions.

They felt something was wrong, but they hoped it was true.

"I guarantee it with my head. If I don't give everyone present ten taels of silver when I return from hunting, you will report me to the authorities and have me arrested."

"Proof it in writing!"

When everyone saw Li Zhen write a document and look so confident, and the key point was that he was not afraid of being reported to the police, they all believed it at once.

Yes, if you don’t pay, I will report you to the police. Then even if you kill the tiger, Li Zhen won’t be able to get it back and will have to go to jail.

The tiger would also be theirs.

No one believed that Li Zhen would not pay the money when the time came.

Coupled with Li Zhen's calm attitude and gorgeous clothes, he finally won everyone's trust.

So the next day.

A large group of people, about twenty in number, set out together.

"With so many people, there should be no problem." Li Zhen looked at the long line, full of confidence.

No matter how powerful a tiger is, it is just a tiger. He didn't believe that twenty fully armed men could not defeat a mere tiger.

I’m afraid the tigers will hide when they see them.

Li Zhen looked at one of the hunters, who was holding two living hens. Li Zhen had already given the hunter the poison, asking him to find the right time to use it.

For safety reasons, he also asked the hunters to apply poison on their bows and arrows. Needless to say, these hunters also have experience. In addition to the oleander venom given by Li Zhen, a small number of hunters also have their own paralyzing poison.

It just saved him a lot of energy.

He felt that it should be stable now.

Li Zhen did not plan to go tiger hunting with them, but he still followed the hunters to at least know the approximate location of the tiger.

"stop!"

Just when Li Zhen was thinking about good things, a shout came from a distance.

Everyone turned around and saw a group of people coming from the other side. There were no less than fifty people, more than Li Zhen's side. The leader was riding a tall horse, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and was a handsome young man.

"It's the young master of the Zhao family." Someone recognized the leader at a glance.

"I heard that you are also going to hunt tigers. Now retreat. Our Zhao family wants this tiger king." After Young Master Zhao approached, he glanced at everyone and spoke lightly.

His tone of voice did not sound like a negotiation, but rather an order.

This~
The hunters were hesitant and embarrassed, and finally they all turned their eyes to Li Zhen.

"Don't worry about them, just move forward."

"Don't you want the ten taels of silver?" Li Zhen said, and seeing that everyone was still standing there, he had no choice but to tempt them with silver again.

Under the temptation of ten taels of silver, a few hunters finally took the lead and left.

"Don't you want to live? Money is more important than life."

"If anyone dares to step in again, I guarantee that his entire family will go to the cave to mine tomorrow." Young Master Zhao spoke again, this time with a heavier tone and an angry look on his face.

He also took a special look at Li Zhen, who was regarded as the backbone by everyone.

"How dare you go against our Zhao family? You are so brave!"

"Don't disperse!"

A servant with a knife beside Master Zhao shouted loudly, then drew his knife and pointed it angrily at the hunters.

After hearing his roar and looking at the shining knife, the hunters immediately shrank their heads, slowly retreated like quails, and then slipped away.

"Don't go." No matter how Li Zhen shouted, it was useless.

"Don't waste your energy. Although we want the ten taels of silver, we want the lives of our family more. And don't think about that big bug anymore. The Zhao family has never failed to get what they wanted." A hunter kindly reminded Li Zhen.

Looking at the hunters who had dispersed, Li Zhen was a little confused.

He seemed to have seen the tiger waving at him before, but this time he could only watch others plotting against his tiger.

Young Master Zhao glanced at Li Zhen with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

Li Zhen did not leave. He followed Master Zhao and his group and went deeper into the room.

Even though Master Zhao and the others discovered him, they didn't care.

The crowd walked into the forest.

There were also hunting experts among Master Zhao and his group, and they found the tiger king in the afternoon.

Roar! ~
The roar of a tiger in the mountains is extremely penetrating.

The trees shook.

Li Zhen also saw the Tiger King on the mission for the first time.

The legend was correct, the tiger king was indeed ten feet long, or more than three meters long, and was truly a huge beast.

However, no matter how powerful the tiger is, there is only one of them and it cannot defeat a team of nearly fifty people.

Moreover, these fifty people are all brave and skilled hunters and guards.

After sacrificing several lives, the tiger finally collapsed in exhaustion.

Not killed, just poisoned.

When Master Zhao and his group of men left with the tiger, Li Zhen was still standing there.

"It's very exciting." Li Zhen watched the team leave, as if he had watched a movie and was still savoring the experience.

It was quite visually impactful to witness dozens of people fighting a tiger.

The tiger king was more courageous than he had imagined.

"It's a pity that the good thing of picking up people's heads didn't happen to me." He was just thinking that while the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman will benefit.

If he could finally stab the tiger, it would be considered that he had killed the tiger king.

But it doesn’t matter if there is none, he doesn’t care.

The Zhao family is a wealthy family in the county, and they are on good terms with the county magistrate. Once the tiger king enters their home, it would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to see the tiger even if they want to.

But Li Zhen is not an ordinary person, he is a time traveler from Earth.

He came to the scene of the battle, looked around, and found a lot of tiger hairs fallen on the ground.

He squatted down and picked up a handful of tiger hair, twirled it in his hand, and after a moment's thought, a plan came to mind.

"Have it!"
