Luo Jinsheng has been very confident since he separated from Mu Zheng and others.
The people he selected were the strongest soldiers and hunters in their prime who were experienced and strong.
Therefore, Luo Jinsheng was very confident that with such a team, they could easily defeat any ferocious beast they encountered.
He even joked, "It all depends on our abilities. It would be a waste if we don't get a tiger to practice on."
No one expected that a tiger would actually sneak up on them at night.
Although Luo Jinsheng was confident, he was not a fool and he left people on guard at night.
But the people on duty in the second half of the night felt that everything around them was peaceful, so they relaxed their vigilance and fell asleep.
Just when he was half asleep, a white-browed tiger with hanging eyes approached him quietly from behind.
"ah--"
The shrill screams broke the tranquility of the forest at night.
Luo Jinsheng suddenly woke up from his sleep, and with the help of the bonfire that had not yet been extinguished, he happened to meet the tiger's eyes, and then watched the tiger easily bite off the soldier's neck.
Although they were at a certain distance, Luo Jinsheng felt as if hot blood was sprayed on his face.
He suddenly reacted and shouted at others to get up quickly.
"There's a tiger! The tiger is right in front of us! Don't sleep any more, get up and grab your weapons!"
Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to say whether a dozen people can definitely deal with a tiger, but they should be able to deal with it for a while.
But it was the second half of the night, when people slept the deepest.
When everyone woke up, they were in a half-asleep state. Although they had seen the tiger with their eyes, it was difficult for their bodies to immediately become tense and alert.
The soldier whose throat was bitten by the tiger twitched a few times and then fell to the ground and never moved again. It was obvious that he was bitten to death.
Everyone then felt a little more realistic and started to get nervous.
But it was too late. Just as they were trying to wake themselves up and fight the tiger, the tiger had already taken the initiative to attack, pouncing on them and scratching two soldiers and a hunter one by one with its claws.
The hunter was scratched on the thigh and fell to the ground bleeding.
One of the soldiers subconsciously dodged and was only scratched on the left shoulder by the tiger. He rolled and crawled away and hid behind a tree.
The other soldier suffered the most. He was directly grabbed on the face by the tiger's claws. Most of the flesh on his face was torn off by the tiger, and his face was instantly covered in blood.
He inhaled a large amount of blood into his lungs, choking him to death.
Two people died in succession, both in such tragic ways, and almost everyone else was scared out of their wits. No one dared to move, let alone cooperate with each other to fight the tiger, for fear that they would be the next target of the tiger.
Then a strange scene appeared in the forest. A group of people stood there, watching the tiger licking its bloody claws motionlessly.
Luo Jinsheng shouted very loudly just now, but he took advantage of the moment when the tiger was hurting people and ran behind everyone.
Seeing him like this, the others lost their fighting spirit, their eyes drifting around, ready to run away as soon as they got a chance.
And this so-called opportunity is naturally when the tiger attacks others.
But no one knows whether the unlucky person who is attacked will be themselves.
After the initial confusion and panic passed, someone finally remembered to fire a flare to ask for help.
At this time, more than half of their casualties had been suffered.
Luo Jinsheng cursed in his heart, what a bullshit flare, the two teams were walking in opposite directions, let alone whether they could notice it, even if they noticed and rushed over it would be too late.
Besides, the sound of the flare is so loud. What if it angers the tiger again?
Fortunately, after injuring several people in succession, the tiger finally turned around and left, perhaps because it was tired or felt that they no longer posed any threat.
Although the tiger seemed to have left temporarily, the remaining people did not dare to act rashly, for fear that they would make any noise that would cause the tiger to return.
The injured people could only lie on the ground and groan helplessly.
On the other side, Mu Zheng and Boss Ye had already called everyone up.
Mu Zheng selected a few men to go over with weapons to provide support, and asked the others to stay behind to pack up. He then took everyone's luggage and rushed over under the leadership of the old hunter.
Boss Ye confirmed the meaning of the different marks with the old hunter and found that they were basically the same, so he said, "I will leave marks along the way. Please lead everyone there."
"Don't worry. Although I'm old and don't have your physical strength, I'm still good at finding the way around the forest. I'm sure no one can match me."
Mu Zheng also spoke up, which was rare: "You should also remain vigilant and not take it lightly."
The situation is urgent now, and being able to say just a few words is already a waste of time.
So before he finished speaking, Mu Zheng turned around and left, and his back quickly disappeared into the night.
Seeing this, Boss Ye and the others did not dare to delay any longer and hurriedly followed him.
For Boss Ye, the winter forest is more familiar and easier to walk in.
In the forests of other seasons, the ground will be covered with dense vegetation, branches and vines will trip you when you walk, bushes will block your way from time to time, unknown plants will catch your clothes, and you may encounter snakes, insects, rats, ants and even poisonous insects everywhere.
But in winter, the plants have withered and died, buried under heavy snow.
The snow on the mountains near the capital is far less deep than outside the Great Wall.
