Chapter 224 Don't move, they're on our side!
Wei Jingchen was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses.
Yun Zhao could understand what the animals were saying. To them, those low moans and whimpers sounded like the animals crying out for help.
"it hurts……"
"Waaaaah, Mother, I miss Mother..."
"My child, get up quickly, come to your father..."
"Someone, please save my poor child!"
The animals' cries of agony were incessant.
Tears dripped onto the medicine packet, and Yun Zhao felt extremely distressed as she listened to these words.
Suddenly, a pair of warm hands covered her ears.
Yun Zhao looked up in surprise, only to see Wei Jingchen covering her ears and pressing her head against his chest.
For a moment, all that could be heard was the sound of his heartbeat.
"Don't be afraid, let's save them together."
His voice came from his chest.
Yun Zhao wiped away her tears and nodded.
"The little bird said that someone wanted to release these wild beasts."
"Yes, I heard it from up there. Guanzhou has a new prefect."
The prefect felt that such tournaments were inhumane and had been planning to abolish them.
The prefect came to negotiate again today, so they decided to stage an accident.
This is also why Wei Jingchen had Xiaoniao bring Yun Zhao over.
The fact that he was on good terms with Ding Yan suggests that this prefect must have been a good official.
Furthermore, given that he was not greedy for money and only wanted to abolish this inhumane tournament, he must have been an official wholeheartedly devoted to the people.
Wei Jingchen wanted to save him.
"I'll try to negotiate with them."
Yun Zhao took a deep breath and put the medicine packet away.
Wei Jingchen nodded and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"There's a tiger in there. I have a flowery scent, so it should be easier to communicate with someone of my own kind!"
"good."
Wei Jingchen led her to the innermost part of the building.
"Hello Tiger, my name is Yun Zhao, and I'm here to rescue you!"
Yun Zhao softened his voice and tried to talk to the tiger in the cell.
"Waaah!"
The tiger hated humans and immediately growled a warning at her.
Shh! Don't let those bad guys hear you. Smell me, I smell like a tiger!
Yun Zhao stretched out his hand and waved it in the direction of the tiger.
The tiger got up, sniffed, and found that she did indeed smell like a tiger.
And it was a tigress and her cubs!
It was somewhat strange, yet it still kept its distance from Yun Zhao and the other two.
"I rescued a baby animal on the mountain before, and its mother, to repay my kindness..."
It's always been by my side, and this time it was a little bird leading the way, so don't worry.
I'm here to save you! Smell me, I don't smell of blood, I'm not a bad person!
The tiger must have smelled her scent and confirmed that she wasn't a bad person before slowly walking over.
It leaned against the cell bars and fell heavily to the ground.
What do you want to ask?
This tiger is very clever; it had been listening to their conversation and understood that they wanted to ask a question.
"You are badly injured."
Yun Zhao was a little sad, and Wei Jingchen noticed her emotions, so he put her down.
She stroked the tiger's head and, without saying a word, took out pills and a water pouch from her small pocket.
"Drink some water and take this pill."
The tiger, panting heavily, looked up at the child in front of it.
In the dimly lit cell, her glassy eyes were very beautiful.
For some reason, the tiger instinctively obeyed her, opened its mouth, and let her throw the dark, round ball into its mouth.
The child gave it water again.
It's strange, it's sweet and tastes very good.
"Where did you come from?"
The child stroked its head and asked softly.
The tiger felt comfortable as she touched him, and it was as if his wounds didn't hurt so much anymore.
It nudged its head towards Yun Zhao, "They were captured from different places."
They transferred us many times, wouldn't let us eat until we won, and even made us fight others.
The injuries on my body are from fighting with more than a dozen people. I lost.
I can't remember the last time I've eaten. I probably won't survive. Could you...?
"Rescue that cub next door? The mother wolf died protecting it."
Yun Zhao looked to the side and saw a very small wolf cub, which looked to be no more than four or five months old.
Although he was very dirty, he didn't seem to be injured. He was a bit thin, but he could still open his eyes and look at her.
Don't worry, you will definitely survive!
The tiger looked up at her, not understanding why she was so certain.
"They'll come and let you out soon. Just run towards the back door."
I'll find a way to catch those bad guys and let you go!
Yun Zhao has medicine and a spatial spring.
Saving them is a piece of cake.
"On the condition that you believe me!"
The tiger looked at her silently without saying a word.
Time passed slowly, and Lu Xun urged him on somewhat anxiously.
"It's time for us to leave."
This dungeon has only one entrance and exit; if those people come now to release the wild beasts...
They would be trapped in the dungeon.
"Okay, I promise you. I hope you're not lying to us."
The tiger eventually agreed.
"It's a deal! Brother Jingchen, let's go!"
Wei Jingchen and Lu Xun couldn't understand what the tiger was saying. Yun Zhao told them to leave, so the two quickly left with Yun Zhao.
Shortly after they climbed out of the window, several burly men came down from the second floor.
As soon as they stepped into the dungeon, one of the burly men suddenly stopped.
"How strange."
"What?"
"I feel like the wild animals have become much quieter."
The others burst into laughter.
"It's normal that these beasts don't dare to make a sound every time we come in!"
"Exactly, if they keep making noise, just whip them a few more times!"
The burly man laughed as he entered the dungeon and unlocked the doors one by one.
Reaching the last cell, he blocked the cell door in front of him, trapping himself between the wall and the door.
The beasts slowly stood up, walked out of the cell, and all turned to look at them.
In the dimly lit dungeon, dozens of pairs of wild beast eyes stared intently at them.
After all, they were beasts forged in battle, and their bloodthirsty desires, which made the group nervous, were chilling as they stared at them.
One of them couldn't help but tremble, and the person next to him kicked him.
"Shut up! Open the secret passage!"
Those nearby then realized what was happening and quickly activated the secret passage mechanism.
Under the watchful eyes of the wild beasts, the group quickly left through the secret passage.
The tiger withdrew its gaze and turned to look at the dungeon exit.
The wild beasts lowered their heads and made way for them.
The tiger exerted its strength, and thus led the beast away from the dungeon.
On the other side, Prefect He Chuan was negotiating with the owner of the villa, the third master of the Hu family in Fengyun City, Hu Xu, along with his officials.
"Master Hu, Guanzhou has 100,000 people, and there are so many wild beasts here."
It's not safe at all. If you don't heed my advice, I'll have to resort to force!
He Chuan abandoned his usual refined demeanor and stared intently at the person in front of him.
Hu Xu, the third son of the Hu family, is a notoriously ruthless man. This arena match between beasts and humans was his idea.
He even scoffed at He Chuan's warning.
"Lord He, do you know how much silver has been earned from the arena competition in the five days since we entered the city?"
He Chuan felt humiliated and his face turned very ugly.
"This is the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It's not your Hu family's place to act recklessly here!"
Such a disregard for human life in a tournament is something I absolutely will not allow to happen in Guanzhou!
If you remain obstinate, I will have no choice but to try persuasion first, then resort to force!
Guanzhou has 30,000 soldiers, which Fengyun City cannot control, but He Chuan will let them know that Guanzhou is not a place for the Hu family to run wild!
Hu Xu laughed loudly, then took a few steps back to the window.
His face showed excitement, and his eyes were filled with madness.
"Someone, open the door and let the tiger in!"
