Chapter 80: The Beast in the Forest



Wei Zhuang pulled the black horse hard, fearing that it would run away.

If the horse ran away, it would be difficult to catch it back. In that case, Ying Zheng would have to go with them, which Wei Zhuang would never agree to.

After all, how could the Son of Heaven come down to earth and walk among mortals?

A vague aura lingered around Wei Zhuang.

Ever since the horse was frightened, he had felt this power.

This power was extremely domineering and full of bloodthirstiness. In Wei Zhuang's life, only Ying Zheng's power could surpass this power.

However, this power is extremely strange, so strange that it does not seem like something a human can possess.

If Ying Zheng's power is like the mighty power of heaven, then this power is like a ferocious beast, spying on all things.

"call--"

A gust of wind blew over, and also disturbed the minds of the Qin soldiers surrounding them.

A dozen or so people took out their weapons and surrounded the carriage tightly.

Another soldier came out and replaced Wei Zhuang to hold down the frightened horse, leaving Wei Zhuang with his hands free.

"Wei Zhuang, something happened?"

Ying Zheng asked while sitting in the carriage without leaning out.

Li Si and Han Fei also knew that the carriage stopped suddenly because something happened, so they stopped asking questions and held the swords at their waists to protect Ying Zheng.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. It's just a ferocious beast passing by. It will be fine soon."

At this moment, Wei Zhuang was listening to the wind around him and feeling the vague power. Naturally, he had no time to reply to Ying Zheng's words.

The one who responded was Huantai, Meng Ao's former adjutant and the current chief minister.

Because of Meng Ao's appreciation, Wang He specially accompanied Ying Zheng to Anyi, and because of Meng Ao's appreciation, he was sent by Wang He to follow Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng naturally knew this person, but he didn't care about what he said and lost interest, still looking at the bamboo slips in his hand.

Li Si and Han Fei did not relax their vigilance. It should be said that they would not relax unless the outsiders did.

"call--"

Another gust of wind blew by, and this time his head was exposed, and Wei Zhuang caught his tail.

It was a piece of wood, swaying in the wind, and it seemed no different.

However, Wei Zhuang stared at that place intently, and he felt a sense of intimidation from it.

"scare!"

A pair of bright eyes suddenly flashed out from the wood. It was still daylight, but the eyes seemed particularly bright.

Wei Zhuang also saw those eyes clearly and instantly knew what was coming.

Those were a pair of tiger eyes. The one coming was a big beast, not just an ordinary big beast.

"careful."

Wei Zhuang uttered two words and stopped talking, because the tiger eyes had disappeared, but the majesty still lingered around him.

"call--"

Another gust of wind blew, and this wind seemed to blow into the hearts of this group of people, making them feel chilly.

“Here I come!”

Wei Zhuang only felt that his energy and spirit reached its peak in an instant, and the aura on his body instantly locked onto that power.

It was like strolling in the garden, just like when he assassinated Ying Zheng, walking slowly, yet moving very fast.

A huge tiger with white forehead and hanging eyes happened to pounce out, and crashed into Wei Zhuang's sword and Tai'a.

"roar--!"

The big tiger was also smart. It seemed to sense something was wrong, so it turned slightly and moved away, landing on the ground, staring at Wei Zhuang and roaring.

Wei Zhuang sensed a slightly different smell, a unique smell. In other words, it was the smell of eating something you shouldn't have eaten.

The beast was extremely huge, at least much bigger than any Wei Zhuang had ever seen.

Moreover, the strong smell of blood on his body gave him a sense of oppression all the time.

Logically speaking, this kind of beast is the least likely to attack humans, let alone attack groups of people.

Judging from the fur color and body shape of this big insect, it doesn't look hungry.

So, if this beast is so aggressive, there is only one explanation.

This big beast ate more than one person and even became addicted to the smell of humans.

However, Wei Zhuang was not panicked.

If he were alone, he might have no choice but to run away, but now there are a dozen Qin soldiers behind him, all of whom are carrying bows and crossbows, and they are least afraid of wild beasts in the mountains.

Even if this beast had a soul and intelligence, it could not escape death.

A dozen or so Qin soldiers were not frightened. The cruelty on the battlefield was much more terrifying than this giant beast. They had even survived the battlefield, so they had no reason to be afraid of this giant beast.

Following Huantai's gesture, except for the soldiers holding the horses, the other soldiers instantly took their positions, lined up, drew their crossbows, and aimed at the big beast.

"Mr. Wei, please come down first. We can leave this giant beast to us!"

When Wei Zhuang heard Huantai's voice, he did not act arrogantly. He faced the big beast and slowly retreated.

After all, he was just an assassin. If he couldn't kill the enemy with one strike, he wouldn't have many options left. He could either escape or wait to die.

The big beast watched Wei Zhuang retreat and slowly retreated. It had sensed danger, a danger that could kill it.

And this danger comes from those "foods" that hold things!

"What? Is there a big insect?"

Ying Zheng suddenly leaned forward. He had just heard the roar of a wild beast in the carriage, and he immediately recognized it as the sound of a tiger.

"Keep it for now. I'm still short of a cushion. I want one made of tiger skin!"
