Suddenly, a deafening tiger roar was heard. Qiu Yan staggered, fearing that the tiger would devour her second uncle until there was nothing left.
She quickened her pace.
She traversed the winding mountain roads as if they were flat ground.
Gu Qian looked at Qiu Yan with concern, holding her delicate hand tightly the whole way.
Further on, they found the source of the insect's sound.
The giant insect was already dead.
It was a huge, ferocious beast with yellow and black stripes.
On the hillside ahead, Li Zheng stood beside the tiger, wiping the bloodstains off the blade.
Clearly, he had just engaged in a life-or-death struggle with the giant worm.
Beside him were Zhao Shan and a group of villagers.
Although the tiger was dead, Zhao Shan and the others had not yet recovered from the panic they had just experienced.
At this moment, their eyes were filled with terror, and they seemed to have been greatly frightened.
Li Zheng's formidable skills have truly opened their eyes today.
Seeing this, Gu Qian quickly grabbed Qiu Yan and rushed to Li Zheng, saying, "Master."
He was relieved to see that his master had only suffered minor injuries.
When Li Zheng saw that it was Gu Qian, he nodded to him and said without saying much, "Let's split up and search."
"Um."
Gu Qian and Qiu Yan continued their search.
Zhao Shan and the others followed behind Li Zheng, searching for Qiu Dafu's whereabouts.
Because of the close call they had just experienced, they dared not act alone.
The mountain road was rugged, and Jiang Liu and Qiu Dafu held hands and helped each other along.
They had been walking for a long time, but because both of them were injured, they had not traveled far.
Just as she reached the tree ahead, she suddenly saw black-haired livestock in the distance, and Jiang Liu's body trembled slightly.
"Dafu." She tugged at Qiu Dafu's wrist. "Look, what's that?"
After confirming that it wasn't a wolf, Jiang Liu felt a little more at ease.
Qiu Dafu also saw the livestock ahead.
Feeling unwell and covered in injuries, he stared at the enormous creature before him, unsure how to fight it.
He pulled Jiang Liu behind him, saying, "Liu'er, wild boars are ferocious and extremely aggressive. Don't let them hurt you."
He was initially delighted to see a wild boar, because that meant money.
But at this moment, he has an injured leg.
"You mean, that animal in front is a wild boar?" Jiang Liu was seeing a wild boar for the first time and didn't recognize it.
In her entire life, she had never encountered such a series of extreme dangers as she was today.
This wild boar, estimated to be eight feet long, looked incredibly ferocious.
Wild animals frequently roam the area below this cliff, and ordinary people dare not even venture into this valley.
As for Jiang Liu, ignorance breeds fearlessness.
Jiang Liu rubbed her aching temples. "Let's go around it and not let it see."
"We have no other choice." Qiu Dafu, watching the wild boar getting closer and closer, mustered his strength, grabbed Jiang Liu, and turned back.
The wild boar grunted twice and continued walking towards the two of them, step by step.
Fortunately, the wild boars didn't seem to have spotted them.
As they walked, Jiang Liu pointed to a cave not far ahead and said, "There's a cave up ahead. Let's go there to take shelter from the rain."
Qiu Dafu followed Jiang Liu's gaze and looked into the distance, his eyes landing on the footprints in front of the cave.
"No."
At the same time, Jiang Liu saw the footprints ahead. "It was my oversight."
The two men made their way forward slowly, dodging wild boars, when suddenly, a pack of wolves came rushing towards them from ahead.
That's right, this time, it's a group.
They had smelled the blood in the mountains.
“Dafu, wolves… wolf pack…” Jiang Liu panicked, her mood returning to the despair she had felt moments before.
Even dealing with just one is so difficult.
