Chapter 299 Most likely you won't encounter it.

Gu Tingyun, who was right behind him, had a first thought when she saw the tiger: to drive away this dangerous beast.

Get out of here!

In an instant, the tiger sensed a terrifying aura driving it away.

It is the king of the forest, and rarely experiences such fear or dread.

Driven by its survival instinct, it made its choice without hesitation, turning around and carrying its cub by the scruff of its neck as it frantically ran into the mountains.

They fled in panic.

Seeing this, Helian Jiao was extremely anxious: "Stop! Stop right there!!"

Unfortunately, its short legs were no match for four legs, and it could only watch helplessly as the tiger disappeared before its eyes.

The little princess stomped her feet in anger, exclaiming, "Ugh, I'm so angry!"

The tiger practically delivered itself to our doorstep, and then it got away!

If she could transform into a dragon, she could rush into the mountains and swallow that big tiger whole with a single bite!

I'm so angry!

The two people lying on the ground were survivors, grateful for their good fortune and escape.

Gu Tingyun breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to comfort him, saying, "Tigers run very fast; even adults can't catch them."

At that moment, villagers who were nearby rushed over, carrying hoes and looking on alert: "Where's the tiger?!"

They had just heard a deafening roar of a tiger and screams of agony.

There's not much food on the freezing mountain, so the tiger might be starving and come down to eat people.

This kind of thing has happened before.

But there was no tiger in sight, only the two people lying on the ground, one clutching his leg and screaming in agony, the other so terrified he was out of his wits, unable to answer their questions.

Then, a clear, slightly childish voice said, "The tiger ran away."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; a ravenous tiger would devour a person without leaving even the bones.

Even if they had that many people, they might not be able to defeat a fully grown tiger.

"How come there are two little ones here?!" Suddenly someone came to their senses and pointed at Gu Tingyun and Helian Jiao, shouting in surprise.

They were so focused on finding the tiger that they didn't even notice there were two such small children present.

Moreover, one of them had a serious face like a little adult, and the other had puffed out his cheeks angrily, but neither of them showed any fear. They were both as fair and handsome as little fairies.

"Isn't this Old Chen's precious son, and Factory Director Gu's young master? What are they doing playing at the foot of the mountain?"

"These two kids were lucky; the tiger was probably gone by the time they arrived."

"Quick! Take this man to the barefoot doctor for a checkup!"

A group of people were talking all at once, some carrying the wounded, others calling back their souls.

One of them said to the two children with a serious expression, "It's freezing cold. The tigers in the mountains have nothing to eat. If they get extremely hungry, they will come down the mountain to eat people. You should go home quickly and never go near the foot of the mountain again!"

"knew."

Gu Tingyun nodded, leading the sullen little hamster back, comforting her as they walked: "Sweetie, don't be sad. In a few days, the factory workers will be going to the mountains for training again. We can go to the reservoir to catch fish together!"

Upon hearing this, Helian Jiao's puffed-out cheeks deflated, but she still hadn't forgotten about the tiger: "We still need to catch that big tiger that escaped!"

She remembered the tiger's scent!

Gu Tingyun thought the chances of meeting again were slim, so she nodded and said, "Okay."

Because tigers usually live on the mountainside.
