Fifteen days, a full fifteen days.
Do you know how I spent these fifteen days?
The black tiger, blending seamlessly into the night, licked its paw.
Although the bones and flesh have healed, it still aches slightly every time I walk.
It waited for fifteen days, and although it did not see the human who had injured it, it did see its companion.
Many of these people are as energetic and vigorous as he is.
It couldn't wait to start killing.
Black Tiger's muscles were taut as he slowly crawled toward the campfire.
Time passed by, and Li Ming and his six companions dared not sleep. They held their hunting knives and kept adding firewood to the campfire.
The Lin family guards on patrol were initially able to remain vigilant.
But as night fell, drowsiness overcame them, and the patrol team, which was originally a group of four, became a group of two.
"Er Mao, keep an eye on things, I'm going to run the toilet!"
"Okay, come back quickly after you go, I'm going too!"
"Um!"
The sleepy-eyed middle-aged man left the campfire and entered the woods.
He walked about 100 meters and then stopped.
There shouldn't be any problems here!
He loosened his belt, and with a jolt, the water cascaded down.
Protecting these young masters and ladies is such a hassle.
Even to pee, I have to run this far.
Suddenly, the man froze.
In the darkness, a colossal figure appeared.
"save......."
Click!
Before the man could utter a second word, the black tiger swatted him to death with a single swipe of its paw.
It carried the man's corpse in its mouth, turned, and disappeared into the darkness.
Before the man called Er Mao could react, Li Ming and his six companions had already started shouting.
"Wake up! There's a monster!"
......
The campfire illuminated the camp, and Er Mao led the group to the place where the middle-aged man had relieved himself.
Besides a pool of blood, there were several huge footprints on the ground.
"Killed in one blow, it's undoubtedly a demonic beast!"
"Good! We've finally found the monster."
A glint of light flashed in Lin Yufu's eyes.
"Liu Yu, follow them and see if you can find the monster's lair!"
"Yes, sir!"
A sixth-rank martial artist from the group chased after them.
......
"Second Brother, shall we take action?"
"With Liu Yu gone, only Jiang Chen remains at the sixth rank."
From the treetop, He Bao looked toward the campfire.
"Don't do it!"
"That guard is suspicious!"
Li Yuan pointed to an ordinary-looking middle-aged man and said, "When everyone was startled by the demonic beast, he was the first to wake up, before Jiang Chen and Liu Yu."
"Moreover, although he was mixed in with the Lin family's guards, he always stayed close to Wang Ximeng, whether he was patrolling or sleeping."
"If I'm not mistaken, this man is Wang Ximeng's bodyguard."
"Don't act rashly before you know his strength."
"OK!"
......
"Ximeng, Liu Yu has already gone to chase the monster. It won't be long before he finds the monster's lair!"
"Thank you, Young Master Lin!"
"Don't be shy, we're all family!"
Sitting in the tent, Wang Ximeng revealed a hint of disdain.
Who considers you family?
Despite this thought, Wang Ximeng still said gently, "Then I'll call you Brother Yufu from now on!"
"Hey↑"
Outside the tent, Lin Yufu responded in a trembling voice.
All those days of hardship and sleeping in the open were worth it for a simple "Brother Yufu"!
Once the monster is captured, Wang Ximeng will surely throw herself into his arms.
At that time, I will have another powerful backer.
The Lin family will become even more powerful under my leadership.
......
In the forest, the black tiger carried the corpse and charged towards the valley.
It deliberately slows down so that people behind can keep up.
After crossing the stream, Black Tiger entered the valley.
As soon as we entered the valley, the striped tiger pounced on us.
Black Tiger slapped the striped tiger on the head, followed by a low growl.
The striped tiger glanced at it, then leaped into a patch of grass.
......
Liu Yu cautiously followed into the valley, where he heard chewing sounds, clearly indicating that a demon beast was eating.
He neither went deeper nor left immediately, but instead lay down at the entrance and waited quietly.
As time passed, the sound of tigers snorting echoed through the valley.
As dawn broke, Liu Yu could finally see the black tiger lying on the boulder in the dim light.
It seems there's only one demonic tiger here.
Judging from its size and the speed at which it fled, its strength should be roughly equivalent to mine.
Capturing him alive would be quite difficult.
However, the valley is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and there is no other escape route except for this one exit.
This greatly reduces the difficulty of capturing him alive.
After confirming that nothing had been missed, Liu Yu quietly left.
......
“Ximeng, Liu Yu has found that beast’s lair.”
"How about we go to my tent to discuss the capture?"
"Brother Yu Fu, I'm coming out right away!"
The rustling sound of clothes being put on made Lin Yufu feel hot all over.
......
"Brother Li, what should we do?"
With a bitter face, Liu Laogen said, "It's not good to be on edge like this!"
Li Ming took a puff of his pipe, his brow furrowed.
"Should we just run?"
Ma Wubao said in a low voice.
"You're always coming up with terrible ideas!"
Li Ming tapped his pipe and said, "No one is allowed to run away until that young master Lin gives the order!"
The people in the county seat are not like those in Qingyang Town.
If they dared to run away, Young Master Lin might even kill their entire family.
"So we're just going to wait here to die?"
"That Niu Er was such a strong man, he was killed without even uttering a fart when he encountered a monster."
"If we encounter that monster, we won't be able to escape!"
Liu Chunsheng, Liu Dongzi, and Li Sanwa all spoke up.
"Alright, all of you shut up. I'll go ask them after they've finished discussing it!"
......
"Young Master Lin, Miss Wang, in the valley..."
Liu Yu quickly finished explaining the situation in the valley.
“Ximeng, I have a plan.”
“We’ll lead our men to guard the valley, preventing it from having a chance to hunt. Once it’s exhausted from hunger, capturing it alive will be a piece of cake.”
Lin Yufu looked at Wang Ximeng.
"Brother Yu Fu, this plan is indeed feasible."
"But Master's birthday is approaching."
Wang Ximeng changed the subject and said, "If I stay for another ten or fifteen days, plus the long journey back, I'm afraid I'll miss the birthday banquet."
"Then let's not wait any longer, let's charge in and capture the tiger demon!"
The word "Brother Yu Fu" stirred Lin Yu Fu's emotions.
He waved his hand and looked at everyone, saying, "Liu Yu, Jiang Chen, gather the men and prepare to go in!"
"Yes, sir!"
......
"Isn't this sending our brothers to their deaths?"
"Brother Liu, that's a demonic beast that can rival a level six martial artist! We'd be dead if it even got brushed against!"
"I'm not even as strong as Niu Er, so there's no point in me going in. Why don't I protect Young Master Lin from the outside?"
As soon as Liu Yu finished announcing the news, the guards erupted in an uproar.
"Shut up! This isn't a discussion with you."
"Shut up if you don't want to die!"
Jiang Chen looked at the crowd with icy eyes, "Have you all forgotten who you are?"
"Or do you think Young Master Lin's temper has improved?"
"If you don't want your whole family to suffer, do what you're supposed to do."
"I agree with Brother Chen. I eat Lin Shao's food and wear Lin Shao's clothes. Even if he asked me to die, I would be willing!"
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, Wang Kun was the first to stand up and express his opinion.
It wasn't because he wasn't afraid of death, but because as one of the three fifth-rank martial artists in the team, his chances of survival were very high.
After all, even a sixth-grade demon tiger is something he can fight against.
With Liu Yu and Jiang Chen backing them up, plus two other fifth-rank martial artists, there's really no danger.
"Wang Kun, after you return, go to the accounting office and withdraw fifty taels of gold!"
Lin Yufu's voice could be heard from not far away.
"Thank you, Young Master Lin!"
......
"Brother Kun, you've gotten the benefits, but you've ruined our lives!"
Once the arrangements were complete, a group of guards surrounded them.
"Are you all stupid?!"
"Those six scapegoats are still here, what's the panic?"
"If we bring them along, who do you think the demon tiger will kill first?"
As Wang Kun spoke, he looked at Li Ming and the other six.
