As the old saying goes, dragons travel on clouds, and tigers travel on wind.

They didn't know what Long Xingyun looked like, but at that moment, Gao Haining and the others felt a wind in the forest, making the trees rustle.

As the shadows of the trees swayed, everything around them transformed into terrifying shadows, like the jaws of a beast, ready to devour the three of them at any moment.

A tiger's roar sent chills down the spines of the three men, a coldness spreading from their lower backs to the back of their heads, making their scalps tingle and their bodies tremble uncontrollably.

"Oh my god, there's a tiger! What, what do we do?"

Terrified, Gao Haining dropped the stick she was using to pok at the fire, her whole body trembling like a leaf, her voice shaking.

"I don't know, where's your gun?" Zhang Zhijun wasn't much better off than Gao Haining, and he said tremblingly.

Gao Haining then remembered that he had placed the No. 16 gun upright under a big tree.

"What's the use? It's just a gun, and it's a broken handle."

The No. 16 gun can only fire one bullet at a time, after which you have to bend the handle to reload.

Let alone Gao Haining's marksmanship being terrible, even if his marksmanship were excellent, trying to shoot a tiger with a size 16 pistol is nothing short of a pipe dream.

"That's better than nothing."

Compared to the panic of the other two, Sheng Xi'an was noticeably calmer. He managed to get to the tree and hug the number sixteen gun to his chest.

"Don't be afraid, the tiger is still quite far away."

If Sheng Xi'an's voice didn't tremble when he spoke, his words would be more convincing.

At that moment, another tiger roar came from afar.

Gao Haining and Zhang Zhijun, who were about to stand up, were so frightened that their legs went weak and they fell back to the ground.

"Damn it, the tiger must have come by smelling blood. We killed two pigs today, so the wild boars must have attracted the tiger."

I told you we should leave those lanterns hanging to worship the mountain god, but you wouldn't listen and insisted on taking them down.

Gao Haining's voice was trembling with tears. Who wouldn't be afraid if they encountered a tiger?

When they were dissecting the body, Gao Haining had mentioned that the internal organs should be left out and hung up as an offering to the mountain god.

At that time, Zhang Zhijun and Sheng Xi'an both said that the others had gone to chase wild boars again, and that Sheng Xiping and the others would definitely be able to worship the mountain god.

Pork offal is also a good thing. With the New Year approaching, why not take it home, clean it up, and make a few more dishes?

Gao Haining thought about it and realized that made sense, so she didn't keep the internal organs to offer as a sacrifice to the mountain god.

Instead, they buried the items in the snow, waited for them to cool completely, and then stuffed them into a pig's stomach, intending to take them with them.

Who would have thought that there would be tigers just over ten miles away from the forest farm?

Now, Gao Haining was filled with regret. He should have paid homage to the mountain god.

"Brother Haining, can't you just shut up? Are you afraid that tiger won't come this way?"

Sheng Xi'an was somewhat helpless. The tiger was still a long way away. Even if she was scared, she shouldn't act like this.

Besides, the area around Qianchuan Forest Farm is Huahua's territory. Who knows, that tiger just now might have been Huahua?

If it really is Hua Hua, what are they worried about? Hua Hua grew up with humans and is very friendly to them.

Besides, it knows Sheng Xi'an and Gao Haining, so it's unlikely to actually come and eat them, right?

After being scolded by Sheng Xi'an, Gao Haining felt embarrassed and could only sit awkwardly on the snow, not knowing what to do.

Sheng Xi'an turned her head to look in the direction of the sound, feeling somewhat worried.

It seems that's the direction Sheng Xiping and the others went to chase the dog. I hope they won't encounter any danger.

Sheng Xiping has indeed run into trouble.

The four of them, leading six dogs, were walking back when, before they had even gone halfway, Erlang Shen and the others suddenly changed their expressions and began barking wildly at their surroundings.

With the dog giving a warning, Sheng Xiping and the others immediately realized something was wrong.

Sheng Xiping and the other two immediately pulled back their gun bolts, looked around warily, and formed a triangular formation to protect Pan Fusheng in the middle.

"Fusheng, pull the sled slowly, we'll protect you."

The sled wasn't too heavy, and it was on snowy ground. It took Pan Fusheng a bit of effort to pull it by himself, but it wasn't too heavy to drag.

The situation is unclear right now, so they should just be careful.

Three of the four men were carrying guns, all of them semi-automatic. Even if there were wild animals, they would have a fighting chance and wouldn't have abandoned the sled and run away at the very beginning.

Erlang Shen and his companions fought against the Big Basket today, which boosted their morale and made them look impressive, but they were also quite exhausted.

So at this moment, although the dogs were barking fiercely at the distance, none of them ran away, but stayed close to their owner.

Just then, a sound of "oh, oh" came from afar. The sound of exhaling was soft and the sound of exhaling was loud, which was obviously from wolves.

Sheng Xiping and his group were delayed by this big running basket today, and they were still in the woods until dark.

It must have been the bloody smell of the large basket that attracted the wolves in the forest, who followed them all the way and were discovered by Erlang Shen and his companions.

"It's wolves. We don't know how many there are. Let's be careful and not shoot rashly."

It should be five o'clock by now. In northern winters, it gets dark early, and it's even darker in the forest. In this kind of environment, visibility is obstructed, which is not conducive to shooting.

We don't know how many wolves there are right now, and the dogs have just gone through a fierce battle and haven't recovered their strength yet.

If the wolf pack is too large, the dogs will definitely be outnumbered, so they must be careful and not fire blanks.

"I understand, don't worry."

Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo both nodded, holding their guns and staring intently at the woods opposite them. They would open fire as soon as the wolf pack got close.
