Zhao Qingluan looked into the tiger's eyes,

"Can you guarantee that if we help you kill the bear, we won't eat us?"

A look of disdain flashed in the tiger's eyes, and it shook its head.

He roared again, "A tiger doesn't lie to two-legged beasts!"

Well, given the current situation, Zhao Qingluan and the others have no choice but to go and help get rid of the bear.

"Your Highness, we still need to go deep into the mountains to hunt bears. To ensure Your Highness's safety, I think Your Highness should go down the mountain instead."

"Just leave these soldiers behind."

Prince Rui suddenly felt like he was being looked down upon.

He wasn't the type to act impulsively, but Zhao Qingluan was quite a few years younger than him.

He was willing to risk his life to fight for the people, so how could he, as the son of the people who own this land, back down in the face of battle?

Led by the tigers, the group hurried into the deep mountains.

Logically speaking, I would run away as soon as I even saw a tiger, let alone live peacefully with it.

Now, humans and tigers are living in harmony, and these people have even developed a sense of security.

That's outrageous.

They had encountered wild boars, wolves, and many other ferocious beasts along the way.

However, as soon as those wild beasts saw that it was a Hu group moving together, they immediately ran away.

Wild animals are territorial and will mark their territory in various ways to let other animals know that it is their territory.

The recent large-scale migration of tiger packs across territories is quite unsettling for the animals.

The group walked until dark before finally reaching the area where the bears roamed.

However, once they reached a certain distance at Humen, they stopped going forward.

This is due to their territorial instincts.

Zhao Qingluan suddenly realized that these beasts were actually more law-abiding than humans. Because it was dark, he couldn't clearly see the bears' activities.

Even if we send people to investigate at night, we are worried about potential safety hazards.

Therefore, the group set up camp about 100 meters away from the bears' range.

Their so-called "setting up camp" was nothing more than lighting a few fires to bake the flatbread they had brought. They dared not go hunting.

They were afraid that the smell of blood would arouse the tigers' ferocity.

As for sleeping at night, they climbed up sturdy trees one by one.

If Zhao Qingluan hadn't been constantly watching the tigers' movements, he would never have noticed the tigers' blatant contempt.

It's as if he's saying, "No matter how high you climb, I'll find a way to get up there."

Tigers can climb trees, that's a fact, it's just that they don't need to climb them.

As for the legend that tigers can't climb trees, that's just wishful thinking.

Zhao Qingluan felt that the Tiger King was truly amazing; it could understand human speech and was also very intelligent.

Knowing how to use someone else to kill a bear—that's incredibly clever.

He didn't go to sleep under the big tree right away.

Instead, it moved closer to the Tiger King.

"Tiger King, let's have a chat. I think you're really smart."

I'm guessing you've been cultivating for many years and have become a Tiger Immortal.

That's why you can understand what I'm saying.

Let's be friends. This is candy, given to me by my cousin. I really like it, but there's not much of it.

We are now thousands of miles apart, and we don't know when we will be able to meet again.

Here, try it and see how it tastes.

As he spoke, he held a piece of unwrapped milk candy to the corner of Tiger King's mouth.

The Tiger King impatiently stuck out his tongue and rolled the candy into his mouth.

Its eyes lit up, and it growled, "Delicious! I like it! I want more!"

Zhao Qingluan unexpectedly understood the tiger's gaze.

He felt like he was in a fantasy world. So he took out three more candies, unwrapped them, and handed them over together.

The Tiger King rolled its tongue once more, this time enough, and it squinted its eyes contentedly.

He lay down and began to savor the delicious candy.

Seeing the Tiger King enjoying his candy, Zhao Qingluan was about to have another piece.

But considering that the quantity brought was not much, I decided to keep it to bribe the tiger.

Seeing that the tiger was ignoring him, Zhao Qingluan leaned against the tree trunk next to the tiger and quickly fell asleep.

Prince Rui, who was perched atop a tall and straight tree, saw this scene and felt an urge to swear.

"How the hell does someone have the nerve to sleep in a pack of tigers?"

He didn't even know how to describe Zhao Qingluan.

This day truly shattered his understanding of the world.

If he hadn't experienced it firsthand today, he would never have believed that tigers could understand human speech and coexist peacefully with humans.

This is truly amazing.

The next day, Zhao Qingluan felt her face was wet.

He was nearly scared to death when he opened his eyes. He saw that he was leaning against the tiger king, and the tiger king was washing his face with its big tongue.

If Zhao Qingluan hadn't had enough self-control, she would have definitely jumped up.

In fact, he really wanted to jump. He was just too scared to react in time.

Once he was sure he was safe, he reached out and pushed the tiger king's big head away.

"Good morning, Tiger King. I'm awake. You don't need to wash my face."

Stretching and moving his limbs, Zhao Qingluan struggled to get up from the ground.

Breakfast today was still dry biscuits, and there wasn't much water left in my water bladder.

The nearest water source is in the bear's territory.

It was so beautiful to see the bears' habitat from the trees in broad daylight.

It's no exaggeration to describe their home as nestled against mountains and beside water. Especially since there's a sea of ​​flowers not far from their residence.

As for what kind of flower it is, we don't know, but what we do know is that these bears have no shortage of nectar.

Seeing the bear family living such a leisurely and carefree life, Zhao Qingluan felt that he and his fellow humans were being dishonest.

To give ordinary people more ways to survive, they have to exterminate bears—how cruel!

Having figured out the bears' activity patterns—some were foraging, some were sleeping—it gave the group the opportunity to take them down one by one.

In fact, Zhao Qingluan really wanted to talk to the bears about giving up their territory, but then he thought about the bears' temper and decided not to cause any trouble.

If bears were easy to mess with, would tigers need to ask humans for help in conquering their lands?

What does this mean? It means either we can't reach an agreement or we can't win a fight.

Now that this hot potato has been thrown at him, he has no choice but to accept it.

Therefore, Zhao Qingshan sought help from Prince Rui.

"Your Highness, do you have any brothers skilled in light-footed martial arts who we can borrow? We can't fight them head-on, so we have to use drugs."

Prince Rui's eyes widened, thinking to himself, "You're really the wild one when it comes to methods."

Zhao Qingluan misunderstood Prince Rui's meaning.

"I have a sleeping potion here. Once the bear inhales it, it will be unconscious in about thirty breaths."

Prince Rui was even more shocked, "Such good medicine? Where did you buy it?"

Zhao Qingluan scratched his head. "My younger sister configured it."

Prince Rui is now even more curious about the Zhao family.

"What a family! Not only are they all talented in both literature and martial arts, but they also have a wide variety of interests and hobbies."

Then, Zhao Qingluan ordered the tigers to retreat, and the brothers who had drugged the tigers covered their noses with wet cloths before heading straight for the bear den.
