Chapter 222 Danger in the Mountains, Crow's Mouth River Boat
An Xin and his companions were now gradually walking into the woods in the mountains. There were bushes everywhere, and occasionally they could see animal footprints left on the snow.
"Whoosh"
The sound of an arrow being shot.
"Hit the target. Ah Xing's archery skills have improved again." Zhu Shijing praised.
Liu Boxing, however, had a bitter face and lamented, "My grandfather found several martial arts masters for me since I was a child. They trained me like a dog every day. How could my archery skills be bad?"
An Rui ran to the bushes and picked up a gray rabbit, smiling so hard that his teeth were showing. "Look, what a fat rabbit."
An Xin glanced at the rabbit that died with its eyes wide open, and mourned for it for a second, "Yeah! It was quite fat."
After that, everyone continued to walk towards the mountains. The group walked around the mountain and harvested three rabbits and four pheasants, which are also the most common prey in the mountains.
An Xin looked up at the sky. The weather was fine when they came out in the morning, but now it had become dark.
Moreover, they had already entered the edge of the deep mountains. If they went further in, they might encounter large wild animals. So he kindly reminded them, "It may snow again in the afternoon. Let's go back early."
Li Ziyu, Leng Xiangbai and others looked at the old forest in the mountains ahead. It was covered with a layer of white snow and the road in the forest could not be seen at all.
They were all ready to nod and agree to An Xin's proposal.
The sharp-tongued man Jiang Zhou, however, turned on his sharp-tongued mode, "Is our little headmaster afraid?"
"Originally, we went into the mountains today and planned to hunt a big tiger for fun. Now that the mountain chief is scared, we can only go back reluctantly."
"roar--"
Everyone felt a chill on their backs and looked in one direction at the same time, then turned their gaze back and stared at Jiang Zhou, who had a crow's mouth.
Before Jiang Zhou finished speaking, a tiger roar was heard from the forest.
An Xin raised his eyebrows, with a hint of amusement at the corner of his lips: "Why does such a handsome boy have such a big mouth?"
Jiang Zhou opened his mouth and saw that everyone was looking at him eagerly.
"Shut up from now on." Everyone said in unison.
Jiang Zhou curled his lips and turned his head away. If his words were so effective, he would have become extremely powerful long ago, and would he still be suppressed by the devil every time he wanted to rebel?
"What should we do now?" Zhu Shijing asked.
An Xin touched his chin and frowned. If they ran down the mountain now, the noise would definitely attract the tiger.
If they just stand there and do nothing, the tiger that smells the scent may come looking for them.
An Xin pulled out the axe with a hole in it hanging from his waist and said with a sigh, "I am your mountain leader, but I am a little timid.
But since you look pretty good, I can't let a tiger eat you up for its nutrients, even if it means risking my life."
The six people rolled their eyes: “…” You just want to say that we will be eaten by the tiger and turn into poop.
In the silent forest, the occasional sound of snow falling from the trees made everyone's hair stand on end.
"Here it comes." Leng Xiangbai's inexplicable words made several people feel a chill in their hearts.
Liu Boxing pulled the bow in his hand to its full extent, his eyes focused on the direction where the sound came from.
Li Ziyu took out a sharp dagger, and Zhu Shijing also drew a sword from his waist.
Leng Xiangbai picked up a wooden stick as thick as a hand at some point, and pursed his lips with a cold look in his eyes.
An Rui, who was half a head taller than An Xin, stood close to his cousin, carrying the hunted rabbits and pheasants, as if this would make him feel more secure.
With trembling lips, he whispered, "Cousin, I am the only child of our An family. You can't let the tiger turn me into a poop!"
He looked at the five people who were waiting in a state of alert, and the fake brotherhood was instantly broken. He sincerely suggested, "Cousin, how about we knock them out and leave them for the tiger to eat, and then we can run away."
"Ouch!" An Rui covered his head in pain.
When An Xin saw his little cousin with bruises all over his head after being beaten by five people at the same time, his diamond-shaped lips curled up and a smile appeared in the corners of his eyes.
"Little white rabbit, wait for us to go back and punish you." Zhu Shijing said with gritted teeth.
Liu Boxing, who often chatted with him, looked at An Rui with resentment, as if asking why he was so heartless, so cold, and so unreasonable.
"Stingy guy, it's just a joke, so that you won't be so nervous that you can't move before the tiger comes." An Rui muttered softly, shrinking his neck.
An Xin patted his cousin's shoulder soothingly and looked at everyone: "From the fact that the snow keeps falling from the trees in the forest, it can be judged that the tiger may be looking for food."
"They haven't come directly towards us yet, so they probably haven't discovered us yet." An Xin pointed to the way down the mountain and lowered his voice, "If we stand here, we will be discovered sooner or later.

Now we should retreat down the mountain with light steps. If we are really discovered by the tiger, we will have to face it head on. "
Several people felt that what An Xin said made sense, so they all stepped lightly and retreated the way they came.
An Xin and Liu Boxing, who had learned martial arts since childhood, one held a hatchet and the other held a bow and arrow to cover the rear.
Everyone stepped slowly on the snow, trying to reduce the noise as much as possible.
Just when they were about to leave the tiger's territory and everyone felt safe, Jiang Zhou said something inexplicably, "Why didn't we run into the wolf pack that hunters often talk about when we went up the mountain today?"
"Awoo!" The crow's mouth came true again.
Li Ziyu looked at everyone blankly with his cold jade-like eyes, and glanced at himself with a reproachful look.
Looking at his raised hand that did not fall down, he was closest to this poisonous tongue and was very upset that he did not cover his bad mouth in time.
An Xin looked at a dozen hungry wolves running towards them, obviously having smelled their scent. The wolves' roar also alarmed the tiger in the forest.
In the winter when food is scarce, it is very common for wild animals to devour each other.
I was afraid that the tiger would hear the wolf howling and come over to join in the fun.
An Xin gritted her teeth. She didn't know if her strength was enough to deal with this group of hungry wolves and tigers, but she didn't have time to think too much at this moment.
The voice commanded, "Xiang Bai and An Rui, you two don't have sharp weapons and can't fight against the wolves. Climb up the tree quickly while there is still some time."
"Cousin, I want to fight alongside you." When faced with real danger, An Rui was not as ruthless as he said. He was a little timid, but he didn't think of abandoning his companions.
"Leng Xiangbai didn't want to fall behind, so he pulled him up the tree and hid there." Li Ziyu also spoke at this time.
Leng Xiangbai, who was holding the stick tightly in his hand, flickered his eyes a few times, and finally threw the stick down, pulled the struggling An Rui, and scolded: "If you don't want everyone to be dragged to death by us, quickly find a tree to climb up."
An Rui paused slightly, walked silently behind him, found a big tree and climbed up.
