Chapter 411 Hiring a Tiger
This wasn't the first time she'd seen a tiger. The last tiger was exceptionally fierce, causing her to fall into the lake with it.
However, she was all alone now, and the tiger weighed at least four or five hundred pounds. It looked like a fully grown tiger. With no one to help her, Lin Changning couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive about taking down the tiger.
Looking at the tiger, it seemed that its target was not him, but rather Mo Yun, who was riding under her. Lin Changning stared at the tiger opposite her and saw that the tiger was drooling all over the ground.
Lin Changning stared intently at the plump and strong Mo Yun. Although Mo Yun was a fine and spirited horse, it was still a herbivore. After being locked on by the tiger, its body was now extremely stiff, and even lifting its legs was exceptionally awkward. Lin Changning did not dare to expose his back to the tiger.
Of course, she wouldn't abandon her good comrade-in-arms, Mo Yun. Mo Yun had carried her through countless battles, and it would be utterly inhumane to leave Mo Yun here.
Thinking about this, Lin Changning pondered for a moment, watching the tiger slowly approach them while supporting itself, her mind racing.
Now she should be strong enough to fight a tiger. I estimate we'll find her soon. With Qi Rong and the guards brought by Li Mingxiu and the others, taking down a tiger shouldn't be too difficult.
However, she had to at least stall until the rest of the people arrived.
Lin Changning gasped, immediately dismounted, patted Mo Yun's backside, and said, "Go, run back! Lead the guards and Qi Rong this way."
Mo Yun's body was still somewhat stiff, and Lin Changning was a little numb. After thinking for a while, he took out his knife and slapped Mo Yun's buttocks hard with the back of the blade.
Mo Yun seemed to realize what was happening as soon as he felt the pain, and he took off running back. The tiger saw its prey trying to escape, let out a roar, and charged towards Mo Yun.
Lin Changning gripped the knife like a cannonball, and in the instant the tiger chased after Mo Yun, he fiercely slashed at the tiger with the knife, the blow landing directly on the tiger's forehead.
A deep, bone-revealing wound was left on the tiger's forehead, and Lin Changning's hand went numb from the recoil of the tiger's hard forehead.
The tiger, in pain, turned and pounced on Lin Changning. At this point, it was too late for Lin Changning to use his knife again, so he could only use his other hand to clench his fist and smash it hard into the tiger's chest.
A tiger, almost three times the size of Lin Changning, was breathing hot, foul-smelling air at his face. Lin Changning punched the tiger away with a powerful blow.
The tiger shook its head, baring its yellowed teeth, and let out a low growl towards Lin Changning's throat. The tiger's roar was incredibly intimidating, and Lin Changning felt goosebumps rise all over his body.
Thinking it best to strike first, Lin Changning gripped his knife and slashed at the tiger's neck, but the tiger retreated slightly, dodging the fatal blow.
She was very strong, and with a powerful slash, she struck the tiger's forearm. The tiger was in pain, and its golden eyes turned bloodshot.
With a sudden leap, it pounced on Lin Changning, its massive body pressing down on her like a small mountain. Lin Changning's expression changed drastically, and she rolled on the spot. A cloud of yellow earth rose up beside her as the tiger pounced heavily next to her.
With a fierce swipe of its claws, the tiger lunged at Lin Changning. Lin Changning quickly used the back of his knife to block the tiger's claws, and then pulled out another long knife from his waist and slashed it fiercely at the tiger's abdomen.
The tiger, repeatedly scratched by Lin Changning, was enraged by the pain and stood up. Its two huge tiger paws lashed out at Lin Changning, the golden-orange paws carrying a gust of wind as they slammed down on him.
Lin Changning's face turned pale, and he swung his knife. Just as the tiger's paws gripped Lin Changning's shoulder, Lin Changning's knife landed on the tiger's chest. The sharp claws tore through Lin Changning's clothes and tightened around his shoulder. At the same time, Lin Changning's knife was deeply embedded in the tiger's chest.
Lin Changning winced in pain; the tiger's immense strength made her almost lose her balance. She grabbed another knife and plunged it viciously into the tiger's chest, near its heart.
The instant the knife pierced his body, the entire tiger pressed down on Lin Changning.
When Qi Rong arrived, this was the scene he saw: a huge tiger pounced on Lin Changning and pinned him down.
With eyes blazing with fury, Qi Rong drew his bow and shot an arrow at the tiger's massive head, shouting towards the other side, "Little Six!!!"
The knife tip pierced his heart, the arrow shot into his skull, and Tiger Master's strength pressed Lin Changning heavily to the ground. After panting heavily for a few breaths, he stopped breathing.
Qi Rong watched as the huge tiger pounced on Lin Changning and thought that Lin Changning had been killed by the tiger. His eyes turned red, and he rode his horse to the tiger's side.
Li Mingde and Li Mingxiu, who were behind them, also witnessed what had just happened. Gritting their teeth and with red eyes, they said, "Changning! Where is Changning?"
Qi Rong saw a pool of blood flowing beneath the tiger, and Lin Changning, who was pinned down by the tiger, lay silently in the blood. He assumed that Lin Changning had been killed by the tiger.
He dismounted, his steps faltering, his voice choked with emotion, and he called out uncertainly in a trembling voice, "Little Six?"
Lin Changning, who was struggling to breathe from being pinned down by the tiger, had tiger fur all over his nose and eyes. The fight had left him completely exhausted.
Hearing Qi Rong call her name, she gave a weak groan.
However, because the soft hum that came out from under the tiger's fur went unheard by Qi Rong.
Qi Rong knelt on the ground, somewhat incredulously reaching out to feel Lin Changning's pulse beneath the tiger.
Li Mingxiu and Li Mingde, who were behind, also staggered off their horses. Li Mingxiu cried out, "Changning!! How could you do this before you're even married! It's all my fault, I should have stopped you earlier."
Pinned down by the tiger, exhausted and wanting only to rest for a while: "???"
Why do you say that as if she were dead?
Seeing the three people's tone gradually become sorrowful, Lin Changning moved his fingers, propped himself up on his arms, and slowly pushed the tiger off him, saying weakly:
"I'm not dead yet, but if you don't remove this thing off me soon, I'm really going to be crushed to death..."
Qi Rong was overjoyed to hear Lin Changning speak. Together with Li Mingxiu and Li Mingde, they pushed Lin Changning away. With the several hundred-pound tiger on their backs, they looked at Lin Changning, who was lying on the ground panting heavily, and grabbed Lin Changning's arm tightly.
Her tone carried a hint of excitement and joy at having found what she had lost: "It's alright, it's alright."
Li Mingxiu and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Lin Changning still panting; they had been terrified. Li Mingxiu gave Lin Changning a sharp rap on the head.
"I already told you there are big tigers in there, and you still kept running forward! Are you out of your mind?! If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain this to Shu'er when we get back?"
Lin Changning lay on the ground, looking at the three people who were worried about her. After catching her breath, she pointed at the tiger beside her and suddenly laughed, "Hire a tiger! Doesn't this make you look even more impressive?"
