42 A last stand (1/2)

In another location in the tigers territory another group clashed, the second group of wolves circled their prey with a hungry look in their eyes.

The two tigers took up a defensive stance by each other and prepared for battle.

They were not as strong as the acting clan leader but they were not weak at all, they stood proudly in front of the wolves who wished to kill them.

They had the cultivation of 3rd & 4th spirit gathering while the wolves were equally as strong but had numerous 2nd spirit gathering wolves assisting them.

The wolves began their assault, diving from all directions and clashing with the tigers.

The 4th spirit gathering wolf and tiger clashed as did the 3rd spirit gathering wolf and tiger.

As they did the tigers power was greater and had the advantage but the wolves were never aiming for a contest in strength.

Viciousness was shown within the eyes of the wolves during the clash as they swiped his claws ferociously the tigers faces and swiftly retreated leaving behind claw marks dripping blood down the side of the two tigers faces.

As the wounds were afflicted in sync to each other anyone could see that this group had experienced many battles together.

Just as the tigers felt the pain on their faces they roared angrily and aimed towards the retreating wolves who attacked them.

In that moment the weaker wolves took this chance to leap on to their backs and bit heavily into their skin.

The tigers grit their teeth in pain and tried their best to shake them off but this only lead to the wolves holding on firmer and digging their claws further into their flesh.

Just as they turned their attention towards the weaker wolves the stronger wolves resumed their attacks.

The weaker tiger had a harder time, the weight of the wolves on his back heavily affected his speed and usage of his bodies strength.

He received several wounds on his body as the wolf stalked him and swiftly dealt damage to his body before retreating to a safe distance.

Meanwhile the stronger tiger was doing his best to resist the attacks, after being hit again he grew enraged.

His eyes lit up with a trace of unwillingness as he gazed at his partner being slowly dealt with.

He charged towards a nearby tree and flung his body at it heavily.

Just as his body hit the tree the wolf that had been holding onto his back had been crushed between himself and the tree let out a shriek as it let go of his body.
