Chapter 263 Almost Lost His Life

But rabbit and pheasant meat are still tastier. There are many small animals on Chiyin Peak, and Song Tantan can easily put these small things into her space with a thought.

"The small animals in these mountains are rampant." The overpopulation of wild rabbits is not a good thing. They burrow everywhere, loosening large areas of the mountainside and easily causing mudslides.

"Roar..." Suddenly, a deafening roar resounded throughout the entire mountain forest. Song Tantan and Ye Moxun were both startled and stood back to back, looking around warily.

"It sounds like the roar of a giant worm, they're probably fighting," Song Tantan analyzed.

Ye Moxun carefully discerned the direction from which the sound came and breathed a sigh of relief, "It should be some distance away from here."

If two enormous creatures were fighting nearby, they could easily be affected; fortunately, they were far away.

But Song Tantan was a bit of a gossip, and she was itching to get her hands on a tiger. To be honest, she had made so many trips back and forth to the deep mountains, but she had never managed to get a tiger before, and she wanted to get one.

Caught off guard by her eager expression, Ye Moxun's face darkened. "Be careful, the worm is no joke. One slap from it can turn you into mincemeat."

"I know what I'm doing, don't be too nervous, nothing will happen, don't worry, I'll hold the sky up even if it falls." Song Tantan showed no fear on her face, her fighting spirit was subtly at work.

He couldn't stop her even if he wanted to. The girl ignored his gloomy expression and turned to run in the direction of the roar. Ye Moxun took a deep breath and could only follow.

It took them about 15 minutes to reach the scene of the tiger's fight. The mountain was overgrown with weeds and the road was difficult to travel, which is why it took them so long. The two of them made quite a commotion, and the tiger had already noticed their arrival.

The tiger is the king of the forest, and there are almost no rivals in the forest. Compared with other troublesome prey, humans are the biggest threat. When it smells the scent of humans, the tiger's body trembles, and it slams its fist into the big tree in front of it.

The tree was so big that it would take two people with outstretched arms to hug it. It was over ten meters tall. Song Tantan looked up at the top of the tree with a puzzled expression and saw a white shadow faintly hidden among the branches.

What animal has white fur? It could be a white fox, but white foxes don't seem to be able to climb trees, let alone climb to a height of more than ten meters. In Song Tantan's memory, only one kind of gray fox can climb trees; other types of foxes do not have the skill to climb trees.

The tiger glared angrily at the tree that had only swayed slightly, its fierce eyes turning toward Song Tantan and the others. Although the two humans were hidden in the low bushes, it had already smelled their distinctive scent.

"Roar..." The worm leaped a few times and was about to pounce when Song Tantan suddenly pushed Ye Moxun aside. Then, with a stern face, she waited for the worm to pounce. She only needed to touch its fur to subdue it.

After years of training, Ye Moxun was no pushover either. Although he was not as strong as Song Tantan, he had already sprinkled some medicine powder on the tiger the moment he was pushed away.

It was a paralyzing and muscle-weakening powder. After smelling the scent, the tiger's attack faltered, and its gaping maw stopped just inches from Song Tantan's neck.

But at this moment, the tiger was not completely unconscious. It was just that it was on all fours and its body was a little weak, but it was not completely powerless. As soon as it stood up, it tried to bite Song Tantan's neck.

Sweating profusely, Song Tantan reacted quickly, grabbing the tiger by the ear. The tiger vanished the moment it was inside her spatial storage.

Whew, that was close! She was almost bitten by the giant insect.

She sat down on the ground with her face pale, looking completely shaken. Ye Moxun got up from the ground, also covered in a cold sweat. He slowly walked over and stared at the person on the ground for a long time.

Suddenly, he pointed at her and started yelling, "Song Tantan, I'm warning you, if you do this again, I won't care about you anymore. You think you're so great? You want to capture a big tiger alive? Why don't you just go to heaven? You were so close! You almost had your little head bitten into pieces by the tiger. You're playing with your life. You're getting worse and worse."

He was furious. That reckless brat! What would he do if something really happened to her? And how heartbroken would his aunt be?

Seeing her pouting and crying, Ye Moxun became even angrier. "You still have the nerve to cry? Do you think you're all-powerful just because you have a space? If you're so capable, how come you almost got eaten by a tiger?"

"Waaaaah, I could have actually hidden in the space, but I was so confused that I forgot. Waaaaah, Ah Xun, I was really confident that I could capture it, but who knew I would still get scared. Waaaaah."

Song Tantan sobbed, her chubby little hands clutching his sleeve tightly, and she even dared to wipe her tears and snot on it.

Ye Moxun: "..." She's making me so angry I'm about to have a heart attack.

"Ah Xun, I was so scared just now. I will never dare to be so reckless again. I've learned my lesson. Waaah, I was really scared to death."

While Song Tantan was crying uncontrollably, she was still secretly observing his reaction through her blurry vision.

Ye Moxun: "..."

"Okay, stop crying. Your crying sounds awful and makes you look terrible." In the end, he couldn't do anything about it, so he squatted down and took a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

"Waaaah, Ah Xun, you're so good to me. I'll listen to you from now on and I'll never do anything reckless again." She admits her mistakes quickly every time, but she does it again next time. She's the epitome of someone who never learns from her mistakes.

"Hiccup, sob sob, Ah Xun, don't keep a long face, I'm so sad, please don't ignore me." Song Tantan pouted pitifully, and when she saw that he still didn't speak, she threw herself into his arms and hugged his not-so-strong waist.

"Ah Xun, I'm so scared."

Ye Moxun was genuinely amused and exasperated. He had never seen anyone more shameless than her. Despite being very angry, he managed to wear her down until he had no temper left.

"If there's a next time, I'll see how I deal with you," Ye Moxun said bitterly at the end.

"There won't be a next time, I promise, hiccup." She spoke succinctly, yet she was earnestly hiccuping as if she were crying. It was hard to tell if she was genuinely frightened and crying loudly, or if she was just pretending to cry so earnestly.

"I wasn't faking it, I was really scared," Song Tantan weakly swore to the heavens, "If it weren't for you here, I definitely wouldn't be able to recover by now."

Whether what he said was true or false, it at least pleased Ye Moxun. His girl's dependence on him greatly satisfied his masculine urges.

Just as they were about to get cozy, something heavy seemed to fall from the big tree not far away. After a series of thuds, there was a loud bang, and a white, unidentified object fell heavily to the ground.

The two men's expressions tightened, and they quickly stood up. Ye Moxun, being taller, could see clearly, "It's a ferocious beast, and it looks dead."

"Let's go take a look," Song Tantan said impatiently, then glanced guiltily at the person beside her and softened her voice, saying, "A-Xun, shall we go take a look?"

Ye Moxun: "Wait a little longer, be careful, it might be a trap."

Song Tantan: This beast can even fake death like a human. Isn't that giving them too much credit?
