Chapter 262: White-browed Tiger with Eyes
Continuing to walk deeper into the forest, Deng Youning suddenly raised his hand.
She jumped off her horse and picked up a piece of cloth from a bush nearby.
Li Tianzhuo realized it and dismounted as well.
"This is Big Brother's outer robe today."
“I remember this color.”
He said firmly, his eyes were clear and there was a hint of joy between his eyebrows.
No matter whether he is dead or alive, at least seeing the pieces of clothing can confirm that the person is coming this way.
Deng Yan'an also searched nearby to see if there were any other clues, and soon found a series of huge cat paw prints.
"Look."
He called everyone over.
There was fog in the forest, so the ground was a little wet, and the claw marks were clearly visible on the ground.
Xiu Ming approached with a torch in hand and asked uncertainly, "Is this a tiger claw?"
Such a huge cat is not a tiger. Could it be a spirit?
"Oh no!" Li Tianzhuo felt panic in his heart.
There were pieces of clothing and tiger paw prints. Maybe my brother was in great danger.
"Azhuo, don't worry. Let's search along the direction of the tiger's claws. Maybe we can follow the tiger and find King Yi."
Deng Youning whispered comfortingly.
"Humph, it's better to die!"
"Even though he is my elder brother, I still mind him hurting you."
Li Tianzhuo cursed viciously.
Deng Youning knew that he was just trying to show off his verbal skills.
She knew that Li Tianzhuo still had feelings for this elder brother.
King Yi is not like King Sang and King Si. He is a real brother who grew up with Li Tianzhuo.
When he was young, Li Tianzhuo learned a lot from Yi Wang.
At the same time, he also took the initiative to teach Yi Wang the things that he didn't know.
Deng Youning still remembers clearly that when Li Tianzhuo broke off his friendship with King Yi in the forest outside the Dongji Fahua Temple, he cut off his braid.
People in Nanxin, both men and women, love to wear braids.
Li Tianzhuo once said that his first braid was braided for him by King Yi.
King Yi was also taught riding and archery by Li Tianzhuo.
Now that Yi Wang’s life or death is uncertain, he must be very worried.
"Okay, stop being stubborn, let's go look over here."
"Cousin, the three of you wait for us here. If we run into danger, we will set off a fire signal and you will be needed to come and rescue us."
Deng Youning pulled Li Tianzhuo onto the horse and galloped towards the direction of the tiger paw prints.
She deliberately did not invite Deng Yan'an and the others to join her.
Firstly, he was waiting for them to rescue him; secondly, he didn't want to take so many people to feed the tiger.
On this point, Li Tianzhuo and she were in perfect sync.
In the deepest part of the forest, the trees are so lush that they block out the sun.
Even in the thick fog, the two could still see clearly that half a piece of blood-stained silver armor was stuck in the thorn bush three feet away.
It is exactly what King Yi is wearing today.
Exactly the same as the one on Li Tianzhuo.
The two men stared at the ground, and when they got closer, they realized that it was not a dead branch at all, but an animal bone bitten by sharp teeth.
In the pile of animal bones, lay the unconscious King Yi.
Next to him was a huge white-browed tiger that was eager to enjoy the food.
It was their horses that first discovered the tiger.
The mad horse neighed and ran back with the two men.
Fortunately, the tiger only glanced in their direction and did not catch up. Fortunately, they were riding fast Ferghana horses.
In the blink of an eye, they were sent back to the place where they had just parted with Deng Yan'an and others.
The two men dismounted, panting, and briefly talked about the tiger with Deng Yan'an and the others.
The tiger was more than ten feet long and looked like a huge monster to the two men.
They had fought together against a black bear in the Duke of Dongji's mansion, and the tiger in front of them was half the size of the black bear.
I can’t imagine, if I run into this tiger head-on, will I still have a chance of survival?
They had managed to escape, but King Yi was still there waiting to feed the tiger.
"no!"
Whether it was his feelings for King Yi or his sense of responsibility as a brother, Li Tianzhuo couldn't really leave King Yi there.
If alive, save lives; if dead, leave the body intact!
"Cousin, take Ning Ning back first."
"Xiu Ming, come with me to rescue people."
Li Tianzhuo planned to face the danger with Xiu Ming alone.
Xiu Ming was originally his attendant, obeying his orders and looking like he was willing to die for him.
"Azhuo, don't be impulsive."
"I don't think King Yi is dead. We just saw that the tiger just stared at him but didn't eat him."
Deng Youning felt that the tiger might be waiting for something.
Long before they saw it just now, King Yi was already beside the tiger, but the tiger did not move its mouth.
Although she didn't know the reason, she had a hunch that the tiger didn't want to eat King Yi for the time being.
"I have an idea."
She gathered everyone together and talked about her plan.
Her so-called plan was very simple, which was to use their five horses to exchange for King Yi's chance of survival.
That is to let the tiger focus on the horse when looking for food.
"But it's impossible for a horse to approach a tiger on its own initiative. Someone needs to be on the horse's back to control it and force it to approach."
"So we need to split into two groups, one to use horses to attract the tiger's attention, and the other to take the opportunity to rescue people."
"There's no need to argue. In fact, the two missions are about the same level of danger."
Although Deng Youning said that the danger was about the same, everyone still agreed that those who attracted the tiger's attention were the most dangerous.
They are like giving horse meat to a tiger.
After the horse meat is delivered, if a person wants to escape unscathed, it will be a great test of his martial arts skills.
Xiu Ming and Ying Shi exchanged glances.
"No need to divide. We will ride over there to attract the tiger's attention. You can take the opportunity to rescue people as soon as possible."
As guards and maids of Li Tianzhuo and Deng Youning, they were always ready to sacrifice for their masters.
"Count me in as one. Even if the tiger is very agile, it may not be able to dodge the hidden weapons of Qianji Villa!"
Deng Yan'an took the initiative to join them.
The three of them together formed a triangle formation, which could at least delay a lot of time for Li Tianzhuo and Deng Youning who were rescuing King Yi.
"Be careful, these are the poison powder and poison pills I have on me. You guys have them."
“Although I’m not sure if it will work against the Tigers, it will at least provide an extra layer of protection.”
Her poisons were useless against masters with extremely strong internal strength, so she subconsciously thought that they might not be effective when used on a giant tiger.
But this is the only arrangement we can make for now, and we will have to adapt to circumstances as the time comes.
"Just save the people and don't worry about us."
Deng Yan'an took the poison and gave another warning out of concern.
They were afraid that in the end they would all fall into the tiger's mouth and be buried with King Yi.
When they arrived at the place where they had just encountered the tiger, it was biting Yi Wang's leg and dragging him into a cave.
Apparently, that's where it lives.
"No, we have to hurry. We can't let it get close to the cave. There may be other tigers in there."
Seeing that the situation was not favorable for them, Deng Yan'an rushed forward with Xiu Ming and Ying Shi.
There can't be only one tiger on this mountain.
They couldn't defeat a single one of them, and if they stayed for a few more days, their human flesh wouldn't even be enough to fill the tiger's teeth.
