Chapter 125 Will we die here?

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and when Yuanyuan looked out of the tent's transparent window, all she could see was darkness.

The little saber-toothed tiger and the other four cubs surrounded her, baring their teeth and making fierce noises towards the outside of the tent.

"Little Wolf, Little White, is the rainy season here?"

"Yuanyuan, don't be afraid. Your uncle and aunt are here. Nothing will happen to you."

Su Xue's voice was drowned out by the sound of the pouring rain.

"The rain is too heavy, let's go inside and change into our waterproof clothes," Chen Youwei called out to the two men after securing the tent.

"Team Leader Zhang, Xiao Su, you two go in first. Your wounds can't get wet."

The two nodded without hesitation, unzipped the tent, and hadn't gone inside yet.

A loud crash was heard, and the ground shook.

Immediately afterwards, "crack!" The sound of a tree breaking was accompanied by "bang bang bang" of impacts.

"Oh no, that's the sound of a wild beast crashing into a tree."

Zhang Cheng shouted, and through the dim light, he saw several huge wild boars frantically crashing into the surrounding trees.

Their eyes were bloodshot, and they looked like they had lost their minds as they approached them.

"It's a wild boar!"

Chen Youwei reacted quickly, raised his gun, aimed at the nearest wild boar, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The gunshots were drowned out by the sound of rain. The wild boar let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground.

This did not scare away the other wild boars; instead, it made them even more ferocious.

At the same time, the howls of wolves, roars of bears, and the footsteps of running animals mingled together throughout the forest, creating a chilling atmosphere.

"No, there are too many wild boars, and other wild animals are coming. We can't stay in the tent!"

As Chen Youwei fired his gun, he shouted, "Zhang Dui, cover me! Su Xue, take Yuanyuan and run towards the stream! There are trees there that you can climb up and hide!"

"Okay." Su Xue opened the tent, picked up Yuanyuan, and ran in the opposite direction.

Yuanyuan had already picked up the little saber-toothed tiger while they were talking.

The little snake immediately wrapped itself around her wrist, and Little White, Little Wolf, and Fish reacted quickly, following closely behind.

Zhang Cheng held his gun high, continuously firing at the approaching wild boar to buy them time.

In the heavy rain, visibility was poor and the ground was slippery and difficult to walk on.

Su Xue carried Yuanyuan and ran forward, stumbling along. The rain stung her face as it hit her. She could only hold Yuanyuan tightly, afraid that she might accidentally drop her.

"Aunt Su, I'm scared..." Yuanyuan closed her eyes tightly, buried her head in Su Xue's arms, and her little body trembled incessantly.

She's only a five-year-old child; it's impossible for her not to be afraid in such a situation.

"Yuanyuan, be good, we're almost there, hang in there!" Su Xue gasped for breath, but her steps didn't falter at all.

The three little ones followed closely behind.

Just then, a wolf suddenly darted out of the nearby woods and pounced on Su Xue and Yuan Yuan.

Little White immediately rushed forward, blocking their way and baring its teeth at the wolf, letting out a fierce howl. The wolf cub was not to be outdone, and pounced on it, biting the wolf's leg.

"Bang!" Zhang Cheng arrived just in time and shot the wolf dead.

But more ferocious beasts surged forward—wolves, wild boars, and some unidentified wild animals, their eyes bloodshot, chasing them relentlessly.

Chen Youwei ran at the back, constantly firing his gun, taking down one beast after another, but there were just too many beasts, and his bullets were running out quickly.

"We're running low on bullets!"

Chen Youwei shouted, "Su Xue, there's a big tree ahead, climb up there and take cover!"

Su Xue looked up and saw a thick, sturdy tree not far ahead. She immediately picked up Yuanyuan and ran towards it. Zhang Cheng and Chen Youwei provided cover from behind, blocking the approaching beast.

"Quick, climb up!"

The trees were slippery when it rained, and I couldn't get a grip several times.

"Yuanyuan, come up here."

Without hesitation, Yuanyuan stuffed the little saber-toothed tiger into the animal skin bag and climbed onto Su Xue's back.

He used both his hands and feet to entangle her.

"Yuanyuan, you must hold on tight."

"Hurry up!" The wild beasts drew closer and closer.

Su Xue turned around and leaned against the tree trunk again.

Chen Youwei grabbed her buttocks and pushed her upwards.

Using this momentum, Su Xue climbed up using both her hands and feet.

My injured arm was throbbing, and I almost lost my grip several times.

For Yuanyuan's sake, she gritted her teeth and continued upward.

The little saber-toothed tiger trembled inside the animal skin bag, emitting weak whimpering sounds.

"Crack!"

The branch broke, and Su Xue lost her balance and fell to one side. Her arm, which had been grabbing at nothing, struck the broken branch due to inertia.

Blood mixed with rainwater flowed into his armpits...

She tried to grab onto a nearby branch despite the pain, but missed.

He fell downwards...

Yuanyuan was so frightened that she hugged her tightly and dared not look down.

"Yuanyuan..." She was about to tell Yuanyuan to hold on tight when her falling body stopped in mid-air.

Looking up, she saw a small snake coiled around her wrist.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

With the snake as a buffer, she successfully clung to the tree trunk.

"Aunt Su, don't move yet, I'll climb up myself."

"No, that's too dangerous."

"It's okay, there's a little snake here, I won't fall."

At this moment, the snake had already wrapped around her waist, pulling her slowly upwards.

Little Wolf and Little White also climbed up.

He lay prone beside Yuanyuan, watching the ferocious beast beneath the tree warily.

The fish couldn't climb trees, and it was so nervous under the tree that tears welled up in its eyes.

Zhang Cheng hoisted him onto his back and climbed up with him.

With Su Xue's help, the fish successfully climbed to Yuan Yuan's side.

The little hands clung tightly to the tree trunk, refusing to let go.

Chen You quickly climbed the tree as well. Several ferocious beasts chased to the base and frantically rammed into the trunk, causing the tree to shake violently. Fortunately, the trunk was thick enough that it wouldn't be knocked down.

"What's wrong with these wild beasts? Why have they become so crazy today?" Su Xue gripped the tree branch tightly, her face pale.

Chen Youwei, panting heavily, looked at the frenzied beast below the tree with a furrowed brow.

"The riots were likely triggered by the torrential rain."

"It must be because their habitat has been destroyed that they have become so agitated."

The torrential rain continued to fall, and more and more ferocious beasts appeared under the tree, roaring and crashing around it.

Some wild animals that can climb trees have already started climbing up the tree trunks.

Little White pounced on the beasts that were climbing up, biting one of their claws. The beast screamed and fell to the ground.

The wolf cub also bared its teeth at the beasts that climbed up and swatted at them with its paws.

"Yuanyuan, stay up there with them, and don't move around!"

Chen Youwei took out a dagger from his backpack and warily stared at the beast climbing up. "Zhang Dui, how many bullets do you have left?"

"Three more shots!" Zhang Cheng said.

"Use it sparingly, and only fire when absolutely necessary!"

Zhang Cheng nodded; he thought so too.

"Now we can only wait for the rain to stop, or for these wild beasts to leave on their own."

"I'm afraid that will be difficult."

Yuanyuan looked at the ferocious beast below the tree and the wild animals climbing up, her eyes filled with tears. "Uncle and Auntie, are we going to die here?"

Su Xue wiped away her tears and gently comforted her, "No, we will definitely get through this."

"roar!!"
