Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun strolled around the mountain for a while. Lin Qing was eager to eat the rabbit, so she prepared to go down the mountain with Gu Nanxun. At this moment, Lin Qing actually forgot that she couldn't eat rabbit and kept thinking about all sorts of ways to cook it.

Before heading down the mountain, Gu Nanxun wanted to see the effects of the spiritual spring water, so he and Lin Qing decided to go around to the trap that Lin Qing had set up.

However, before they even reached the trap, Lin Qing heard the cry of some unknown animal. Gu Nanxun then sent Lin Qing into his spatial dimension and quietly walked towards the trap himself.

The trap set by Lin Qing had already collapsed, and next to it, a majestic tiger was fiercely fighting with more than a dozen wolves.

The wolves sprang out from the surrounding bushes, their eerie green eyes revealing ferocity and greed.

The tiger lowered its body, letting out a deep, menacing roar. The wolves fanned out around the tiger, and the lead wolf launched the first attack, leaping at the tiger and baring its sharp fangs.

The tiger nimbly dodged, swinging its massive claws and instantly leaving several deep, bloody gashes on the wolf's body.

The wolves did not retreat; they coordinated their attacks, one after another, lunging at the tiger. The tiger was fearless; its strength was like an erupting volcano, each strike carrying the force of a thunderbolt. It leaped up, pinning a wolf to the ground, its sharp teeth instantly severing the wolf's throat.

The scent of blood filled the air, fueling the wolves' ferocity, and they attacked even more frantically. But the tiger, with its immense strength and agility, charged left and right, each pounce accurate and deadly.

A wolf attempted to ambush from behind, but the tiger seemed to have eyes in the back of its head. It turned around, swung its tail, and sent the wolf flying, crashing into a thick tree trunk. The wolf immediately collapsed to the ground.

The battle intensified, and the tiger sustained numerous wounds, yet its ferocity only grew stronger. Its roars echoed through the forest, instilling fear in the wolves. Ultimately, under the tiger's tenacious resistance, several wolves fell severely wounded, while the rest, seeing the situation was dire, tucked their tails between their legs and fled in disarray.

Ignoring the bloody battlefield, the tiger leaped directly into the trap, its tongue licking incessantly at the spring water clinging to the branches.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and the tiger, who was licking the spiritual spring water, instantly fell to the ground. The tiger struggled to stand up, but before it could, two more gunshots rang out, and the tiger fell to the ground again, never to rise again.

Gu Nanxun waited a while longer until the tiger was completely dead before going over. He first put the corpses of the eight wolves that the tiger had killed into his spatial storage, then he put the tiger's corpse into his spatial storage as well. Finally, after thinking for a moment, he also put the tree branch that had been sprinkled with spiritual spring water into his spatial storage.

"Nanxun, you're amazing!"

As soon as Gu Nanxun entered the space, he received Lin Qing's admiring gaze. Lin Qing had been watching the outside world from inside the space, and she had witnessed Gu Nanxun killing the tiger with three shots. At this moment, Lin Qing thought that the way Gu Nanxun fired the gun was incredibly cool. She stared at Gu Nanxun with shining eyes, her eyes full of stars.

"That's impressive! Your husband is even more amazing!"

Gu Nanxun couldn't help but kiss Lin Qing's forehead and said with a smile.

"Yes, of course, Nanxun is the best."

"Alright, let's go back! We'll come back in and deal with them tonight."

"Okay! But why are there tigers and wolves? Aren't tigers and wolves only found in the deep mountains?"

Lin Qing asked, puzzled, "If there are tigers and wolves outside, then it will be dangerous for the villagers to go up the mountain in the future."

"It was probably attracted by the spiritual spring water. It seems we need to be careful when using the spiritual spring water on the mountain in the future. It would be best not to use it on the mountain at all, otherwise it might attract large wild beasts."

Gu Nanxun originally intended to use the spiritual spring water to attract some small animals, but he didn't expect it to attract wild beasts from the mountains. He didn't expect the spiritual spring water to be so attractive. He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had taken this trip before going down the mountain. Otherwise, if the tiger had come down the mountain, the village would probably have been in trouble. He should go and tell the brigade leader when he went down the mountain.

Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun went down the mountain without delay. After they got down the mountain, Lin Qing went home, and Gu Nanxun went to find the brigade leader.

"Uncle Zhiqiang, Lin Qing and I just went up the mountain. We thought we heard the howling of wolves and tigers. It's very close to the outer mountains. I'm worried that wolves and tigers have left the deep mountains. Uncle Zhiqiang, please inform everyone not to go into the mountains for the next few days, as it may be dangerous."

"Wolves and tigers have actually escaped? It seems we really need to take precautions. I'll inform the villagers right away. No, we need to have everyone patrol tonight to prevent wolves from coming down the mountain."

After the brigade leader finished speaking, he went from house to house to inform them. In the past, there had been cases of wolves coming down from the mountain, but those were always in winter. He just didn't expect that wolves would come down from the mountain so early this year.

The village has a hunting team, which is organized by the young and strong men in the village. Every winter, the brigade organizes a hunting team to go into the mountains to hunt. In previous years, when the wolves came down from the mountains in winter, the hunting team would take turns patrolling.

After returning home, Gu Nanxun first went to the front yard and found Zhao Chun. He asked Zhao Chun to arrange for people to be on duty at night. Their place was near the foot of the mountain, so if wolves came down the mountain, they would be the first ones they encountered.

Meanwhile, Lin Qing had already skinned the rabbit, preparing to make a pot of spicy rabbit meat. The rabbit skin was left to dry in the yard, ready for Zhao Chen to knead it. Lin Qing planned to save up a lot so she could make a rabbit fur scarf or a pair of rabbit fur boots in the winter. Lin Qing had only asked casually, but she didn't expect Zhao Chen to know how to tan fur. That was good, as it would save her from having to go to the village to find someone.

Seeing Lin Qing excitedly preparing the rabbit meat, Gu Nanxun really didn't want to remind her that pregnant women shouldn't eat rabbit meat. However, after thinking it over, Gu Nanxun still reminded Lin Qing, "Qingqing, pregnant women shouldn't eat rabbit meat."

Lin Qing was adding seasonings to the pot when she heard Gu Nanxun's words and froze on the spot. Oh right! Pregnant women can't eat rabbit meat. How could she have forgotten!

"Nanxun, why didn't you remind me sooner!"

Lin Qing said to Gu Nanxun with a wronged expression, "This is the first prey I caught myself! And I can't even get to eat it."

"It's alright. It's the first prey you caught, Qingqing. Let your husband taste it for you. There's still rabbit skin, isn't there?"

Gu Nanxun held Lin Qing in his arms and patted her shoulder comfortingly.

"Alright! Then Nanxun, eat more, and have mine too!"

Hearing what Gu Nanxun said, Lin Qing felt even more like crying. Sighing, Lin Qing said helplessly, "It's a good thing that Brother Nanxun can eat it. It's such a pity. This is the first little animal I've ever caught!"
