Xiaoshan was also secretly annoyed, wondering why he was only looking at his feet and not at the top of his head.

The little white dog in front of it let out another impatient howl and disappeared into the dense forest.

Xiao Youran then woke up and prepared to leave.

But just then, Zhao Huai suddenly took two quick steps, stood in front of the kids, and spread his arms, "You all step back!"

Yun Tiankuang also stepped forward and stood side by side with Zhao Huai, protecting the group of little kids behind them.

Then, a shrill, piercing animal cry, like a cat's meow, was heard not far ahead, and then there was silence.

"Xiaobai? Could it be Xiaobai?" Xiao Youran asked nervously.

Then, there was a rustling sound of leaves shaking in the dense forest.

Zhao Huai silently drew an arrow from his back, nocked it on the bowstring, and turned to Yun Tiankuang in a very low voice, saying, "You guys retreat slowly."

Yun Tiankuang also nervously protected the children, slowly backing away.

Xiao Youran became even more nervous and whispered, "Xiaobai, Xiaobai!"

At that moment, a tall figure emerged from the secret bushes.

Zhao Huai's pupils suddenly contracted.

It was a black bear!

If it were an ordinary person, he would have been fine; with his luck and skill, he should have been able to escape.

But with this string of little brats following him today, he can't escape no matter what.

His back was covered in cold sweat as he racked his brains trying to figure out how to protect those little brats.

He quickly whispered, "Don't move! It's a bear."

The children were so frightened they almost cried, but they knew they couldn't act rashly in front of a bear.

While the group of people and the bear were facing off, Little White ran out from the other side.

Xiao Youran's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly shouted, "Xiao Bai, hurry back and hide!"

The bear listened towards the sound, then spotted a yellow figure running at top speed, and decisively sprinted towards it.

Xiao Youran watched this scene anxiously, and suddenly, without thinking, she ran towards Xiaobai's direction.

Jiang Youchen was so frightened that her eyes widened in horror. Without thinking twice, she took off after him.

Zhao Huai acted decisively and immediately shot an arrow at the bear.

The bear paused, deflecting the small arrow.

Xiao Youran moved closer to Xiaobai and quickly hugged it in her arms.

As Jiang Youchen watched the black bear pounce on his sister, he quickly jumped up and rushed forward, catching his sister and Xiaobai.

As Zhao Huai sprinted forward, he fired three more arrows in quick succession, which slowed the bear down a bit, but it still pounced toward the two men and the tiger with a clear objective.

Jiang Youchen could almost feel the black bear about to attack his back. Overwhelmed by fear, he closed his eyes in despair and hugged his sister and Xiaobai tightly in his arms.

Zhao Huai and Yun Tiankuang were so frightened they almost screamed.

Just then, a figure suddenly pounced from the side in the forest, quickly knocking the black bear to the other side and passing by Jiang Youchen and the others.

Zhao Huai and the others could see it clearly from the side; it was actually a large, spotted tiger!

I was absolutely terrified.

Zhao Huai quickly ran to Jiang Youchen, pulled the two siblings back, and then put his finger to his lips, signaling the children not to scream and to quietly run back.

The children were so frightened their legs almost went weak, but thankfully they were all sensible and didn't cry out loud.

Yun Tiankuang whispered for the children to help each other, while he led the fourth and fifth children back the way they came.

However, after walking for only a short while, the sounds of the wild beasts fighting behind them quickly stopped, indicating that one of them had won.

Zhao Huai, bringing up the rear, nervously pulled out three more arrows, nocked them on the bowstring, and prepared to shoot at any moment.

Finally, Yun Tiankuang, leading the child and the others, came to an abrupt halt as a lithe figure leaped out from the bushes beside them.

The figure walked slowly towards the crowd like a king.

Zhao Huai's hand trembled, and three arrows were shot out.

It then leaped to the two sides, dodging the arrows, and landed on a higher rock. Then it let out a loud and long roar.

Awooo—

When he turned his head again, he had an expression that looked down on the world.

Zhao Huai was so frightened that his legs went weak, not to mention the little kids in front of him. Several of the younger ones were already sitting on the ground, crying their eyes out.

“Old… tiger…” Jiang Youchen stammered. They had seen a tiger before, but it was dead! This time it was a living, breathing tiger!

Xiao Youran remained calm. When she felt the little white dog struggle a couple of times in her arms, she released her grip on it.

Little White excitedly ran towards the big tiger, making howling noises.

The tiger then leaped down from the rock, echoing the tiger's roar with a low growl.

Before, without any comparison, they didn't think much of it. But now, they only felt that the little white dog's cry was a childish version of a tiger's roar!

Apart from Jiang Youchen and his sister, all the other children looked completely bewildered and shocked!

How could they possibly believe that this incredibly fast-growing kitten was a real kitten?!

In just a few days, you'll see it grow a size bigger in Xiao Youran's arms.

Then, with a sad expression, Xiao Youran looked at the little tiger cub she had raised for more than a month and ran into the arms of the big tiger.

Is it its father who has arrived?

The two tigers, one large and one small, embraced each other affectionately, like long-lost blood relatives reunited.

The two neighbors' children, relieved, burst into tears.

Taking advantage of this moment, Zhao Huai quickly told the children to stop crying, picked up a handy branch from the ground, and held it in his hand. He wanted to do something to prepare for the moment.

Xiao Youran picked up a few pebbles and held them in her palm, ready to try out her newly learned pebble-throwing technique. Although she felt the big tiger might not harm them, what if it did?

When the two tigers, one large and one small, separated, the larger tiger turned around and faced them.

Zhao Huai looked at the big tiger warily, his bow and arrow already nocked, his palms sweating.

Just as he felt he was about to lose his grip on the bow and arrow, the big tiger turned its head away, leaving them with its two rear ends, one big and one small.

The group stared blankly at the two tigers' rear ends, unable to believe their eyes.

Did it just leave with the tiger cub like that?

Little Youran called out with great reluctance, "Little White!"

This sound was truly tender and melodious.

Zhao Huai and Yun Tiankuang, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xiao Youran with great tension again.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Youran shouted at the two tigers, "Xiao Bai, you two are just leaving like that? Are we still allowed to go into this forest?"

The little kids all looked at Xiaoyouran with blank expressions.
