Neither of them had weapons in their hands. When the tiger came in front of them, they used their fists to fight.
Although this can prevent the tiger from hurting people, it cannot kill it with one blow.
The tiger's body received several heavy punches, and he dodged backwards after feeling the pain.
The brothers could see that the tiger was escaping in a strange direction.
Before it was completely dark, they went to check in that direction.
There is a small swamp there, and people who don't know how to do it can't pass through it.
With the sensitivity of beasts, they would not go to such a place even if they wanted to escape.
There are two possibilities. The first is that the tiger was beaten stupidly by the eldest brother and the second brother and lost his sense of judgment.
The second possibility is that the swamp is not as simple as it seems.
Mo Jiuye took the lead and chased out, not forgetting to remind his brothers.
"Let's follow over and have a look."
The brothers followed behind the tiger.
Mo Jiuye was the fastest. As soon as he caught up to the swamp, he saw the tiger's huge figure disappearing quickly.
And the way he disappeared was very strange. He disappeared into the swamp in the blink of an eye.
This situation is completely different from the perceptions of the brothers.
Normally, whether it is a person or an animal, if it accidentally enters the swamp, it will sink a little bit, but the tiger disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The brothers looked at each other.
The eldest brother took a few steps forward and said, "This swamp is not easy. Let me step on it and try it."
Seeing that his eldest brother had taken a step forward, Mo Jiuye quickly stepped forward to stop him and said, "No."
The eldest brother was a little puzzled when Mo Jiuye pulled him back: "Ninth brother, don't you think it's strange that Tiger disappeared like this?"
Something strange?
Of course it's strange.
But Mo Jiuye didn't want his brother to take risks.
Sixth Brother has been accustomed to obeying Ninth Brother's arrangements for a while. Seeing that his elder brother was a little disobedient, he quickly stepped forward to help Mo Jiuye stop him.
Mo Jiuye didn't explain much. While the sixth brother was helping to stop the eldest brother, he picked up a stone on the ground that was larger than his fist.
He threw the stone into the swamp, and it could be seen by the light of the torch that it quickly disappeared without making any sound.
The brothers were shocked again.
"Ninth Brother, this shouldn't be a swamp." Sixth Brother said.
This is the same judgment of the brothers. The stone is much lighter than the tiger.
It would be reasonable to say that the tiger sank quickly because it was too heavy, but a stone disappeared so quickly.
Mo Jiuye frowned and thought for a long time before he said, "I suspect this is just a swamp-like barrier, and it's empty inside."
As soon as he finished speaking, the brothers heard the roar of a tiger again.
And they could clearly identify that the sound came from below the swamp.
In this way, Mo Jiuye became more certain of his guess.
The tiger had fallen into this swamp, almost half the time it took to burn the incense, and it should have died long ago.
But listening to its voice, there is no feeling of suffocation or weakness at all.
Mo Jiuye handed the torch to Sixth Brother: "I'm going to go down and check first. Before you hear any news from me, none of you should act rashly."
He knew that if he did not act unexpectedly, he would definitely be blocked by his brothers. Therefore, when Mo Jiuye finished his words, he had already jumped into the swamp.
At the same time, several urgent voices came from behind his head.
"No."
"Ninth brother, let the eldest brother go."
"Ninth brother, you can't be reckless."
"Ninth brother..."
His words were always slower than his movements. While Mo Jiuye was listening to these calls, he had submerged into the swamp and was standing firmly on the hard ground.
Where I thought it should be pitch black, there was a dim light.
Mo Jiuye could conclude that the light was from the oil lamp, which meant that there must be someone right here.
He didn't want to think too much, because in front of him, the frightened tiger was staring at him eagerly and had already made an attack posture.
Mo Jiuye knew clearly that if he wanted to find out what was going on here, he had to get rid of the tiger in front of him first.
So he raised his dagger, aimed it at the tiger's throat and stabbed it.
If it were an ordinary person, even if a small dagger was pierced, it would not pose a great threat to the tiger.
But who is Mo Jiuye? He is the God of War praised by the people of Dashun. If he takes action, how can the tiger still have hope of survival?
The dagger pierced the tiger's throat without any bias. The tiger just grunted and struggled for a few times before dying.
Mo Jiuye took out his dagger, wiped the blood off the tiger's fur, and then observed the situation around him.
He had felt it carefully when he had just jumped into the swamp, and his body had dropped at least three feet.
From this, it can be determined that the location he is in at the moment is a place like a basement.
Although there was light here, it seemed very dim. Mo Jiuye simply took out the flashlight from his arms.
He first looked at the top of his head.
The top of the head is very different. Through the light of the flashlight, it is clearly visible that it is shaking slightly, and it is no different from the swamp from the outside.
He couldn't identify what it was, but what was certain was that it was penetrating, and he entered from here without damaging it.
Just after the tiger entered the basement, the sound it made could be transmitted outside, which shows that there is no sound insulation effect here.
In order not to worry the brothers outside, Mo Jiuye shouted loudly: "Brothers, I have entered safely and I am safe now."
He thought it was to report that he was safe, but unexpectedly, not long after he finished speaking, his brothers appeared around him one after another.
The eldest brother was the first to jump down. When he heard the voice of the ninth brother, he judged that he could enter by jumping into the swamp.
Then came Sixth Brother and Second Brother, appearing in front of him almost at the same time.
"Ninth brother, have you discovered anything?" The eldest brother asked first.
Mo Jiuye had just killed the tiger, and then looked at the top of the basement, and then reported to his brothers that it was safe, before he had time to check more.
"I haven't had time to check."
Hearing what Ninth Brother said, the brothers separated in four directions in a tacit understanding and began to check each other.
Mo Jiuye was not idle either. With his brothers around, he could only temporarily put away the flashlight and use the light of the oil lamp to check the surrounding environment.
Visually, the basement is surrounded by ordinary stone walls, but they will not believe that there is no other passage here.
The builders would not be bored to create such a mysterious square pit.
Although the brothers haven't discovered anything yet, they are not discouraged.
Continue to explore all the walls tentatively.
