Chapter 120 Giant Saber-toothed Tiger
It was an enormous tiger, twice the size of an ordinary tiger.
Its fur has yellow and black stripes, but the stripes are coarser and denser than those of an ordinary tiger, and the "king" character on its forehead is particularly eye-catching.
What's most frightening is its teeth; two long fangs protrude from its mouth. Yuanyuan opened her mouth wide, "It's a saber-toothed tiger!"
Zhang Cheng and his companions' expressions changed. They hadn't expected to encounter such a legendary beast. Judging by its size, it was definitely an adult saber-toothed tiger, and its attack power was beyond question.
After landing, the saber-toothed tiger did not immediately launch an attack, but stood still, staring intently at them.
Its nose kept sniffing, and it made a low, gurgling warning sound from its throat.
"Damn it, we've probably trespassed into its territory." Chen Youwei gripped the longsword tighter, his palms sweating.
Wild beasts have a strong sense of territory, and will attack without hesitation if anyone intrudes.
Yu Na turned pale with fright, clinging tightly to Yuan Yuan's arm, her little body trembling uncontrollably, "Yuan Yuan..."
Yuanyuan was also terrified, her little hands tightly clutching Xiaobai, her palms sweaty.
None of the tigers I've seen before are this big. This tiger is so big that it's the combined size of Uncle Zhang and Uncle Chen's tigers. Who wouldn't be afraid of it!
But seeing that Yu Na was so scared that she was about to cry, she bit her lip and mustered up her courage to comfort her, "Yu Na, don't be afraid. Uncle Zhang, Uncle Chen, and Aunt Su are here, we'll be fine."
"And me too."
"Yes, yes, and Xiaobai too. Xiaobai is the best."
Even as he said this, his voice still trembled slightly. Those two long fangs could probably pierce right through a person.
The saber-toothed tiger stared at them for a while, then suddenly raised its head and let out a deafening roar.
The sound echoed throughout the forest, and the surrounding trees seemed to tremble, with water droplets falling like rain.
The little wolf howled twice in fright and jumped into Yuanyuan's arms.
Startled by the roar, Little White took a step back, but still stared intently at the saber-toothed tiger, refusing to run away.
"Don't panic, everyone. Slowly back away and don't provoke it."
Chen Youwei lowered his voice as he carefully backed away.
They can't fight them head-on; the saber-toothed tiger's attack power is too strong, and they might not be able to handle it.
It would be a huge loss to fail here.
Zhang Cheng and Su Xue also slowly retreated. Chen Youwei kept his long sword pointed at the saber-toothed tiger, maintaining a defensive posture, while Su Xue kept a close eye on the saber-toothed tiger's movements, ready to deal with its attack at any time.
But they had only taken a few steps back when the saber-toothed tiger suddenly took a step forward, pawed at the ground with its front paws, its eyes became even more ferocious, and its growls grew louder and louder.
"Oh no, it's going to attack!" Chen Youwei shouted, ready to rush in at any moment.
Before Yuanyuan could react, Xiaobai squeaked twice and then charged at the saber-toothed tiger.
"Little White!" Yuan Yuan exclaimed, trying to stop it, but Little White was running too fast and had already rushed in front of the saber-toothed tiger.
Everyone was stunned; no one had expected that Little White would dare to charge at the saber-toothed tiger.
The saber-toothed tiger was also taken aback, looking down at the rabbit-like beastman who was a size smaller than itself.
Little White kept barking at the saber-toothed tiger, showing no fear whatsoever.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that its hind legs are trembling slightly, clearly an attempt to appear calm.
Yuanyuan was very worried because Xiaobai's injury had not yet healed.
Taking advantage of the moment when the saber-toothed tiger was stunned, Little White rushed forward and bit the tiger's leg.
The saber-toothed tiger roared in pain and raised its paw to swat at Little White.
"Watch out!" Chen Youwei shouted and rushed forward, slashing down at the saber-toothed tiger's claws with his long sword.
With a crisp clang, the longsword struck the saber-toothed tiger's claw, but bounced back, leaving only a shallow mark on its claw.
His pupils dilated violently; the saber-toothed tiger's hide was incredibly thick!
The saber-toothed tiger was completely enraged. It abandoned its attack on Xiaobai and turned to pounce on Chen Youwei.
It was incredibly fast, arriving in front of Chen Youwei in the blink of an eye.
Chen Youwei's expression changed, and he quickly retreated while simultaneously slashing at the saber-toothed tiger with his sword.
But the saber-toothed tiger was too agile and easily dodged his attack, its huge body pressing down on him.
"Xiao Chen!"
Zhang Cheng shouted, dropped the cage he was holding, told Su Xue to protect Yuan Yuan, rushed forward, took out a tranquilizer gun, and took advantage of the moment when the saber-toothed tiger's attention was drawn to Chen Youwei and Xiao Bai, he aimed at its neck and shot it.
The tranquilizer dart struck the saber-toothed tiger precisely in the neck, but it seemed unaffected and continued its frenzied attack.
Chen Youwei's longsword was almost knocked out of his hand by the shock, but it could only leave small wounds on it.
This defensive capability far exceeded their understanding.
"What is this tiger made of? I can't cut it with a knife, and even tranquilizer darts are useless!"
Chen Youwei was sweating profusely with anxiety, and he grabbed his long knife and stabbed it into the saber-toothed tiger's eyes.
The saber-toothed tiger tilted its head and easily dodged, then swung its huge tail at him.
"puff…"
He was sent flying backward by the blow, crashing heavily to the ground. He clutched his chest and coughed repeatedly, unable to get up for a long time.
Zhang Cheng felt increasingly pressured as the saber-toothed tiger strode toward him, each step feeling like a blow to his heart.
He retreated step by step, while it pressed closer and closer.
He hesitated to fire the tranquilizer gun in his hand. It had just been proven that ordinary tranquilizers were completely ineffective against this saber-toothed tiger and might even provoke it further.
"Take Yuanyuan and go first. Quick, let's hold him off."
Chen Youwei shouted, got up from the ground, abandoned the long knife, and switched to a pistol.
Without hesitation, Su Xue picked up Yuanyuan and ran.
"No, Aunt Su Xue, we can't leave."
"Yuanyuan, come back quickly!"
Su Xue was caught off guard and the tiger broke free, running towards the saber-toothed tiger. He reached out to grab it, but she was too fast and he couldn't catch anything.
The saber-toothed tiger, which had been staring at Chen Youwei, slowly turned its head upon hearing the noise, its amber eyes, filled with ferocity, instantly locking onto Yuanyuan.
In its eyes, the tiny human cub posed no threat whatsoever, but the anger it had been venting from being entangled by the two people and the rabbit was still burning, and now it saw a "little thing" delivered right to its doorstep.
It immediately changed direction and pounced on Yuanyuan by pushing off the ground with all four limbs.
It was even faster than when it pounced on Chen You, and with a stench, it reached Yuan Yuan in an instant.
Yuanyuan was so startled that she stopped in her tracks, momentarily forgetting what she was about to do.
"don't want!"
Chen Youwei roared and rushed towards Yuanyuan with all his might, but he was too far away and couldn't make it in time.
Zhang Cheng struggled to get up from the ground, but it was too late to pounce. He could only watch helplessly as the huge shadow of the saber-toothed tiger enveloped Yuan Yuan.
Su Xue covered her eyes in fright, unable to look any longer, tears streaming down her face as she murmured:
"Yuanyuan, I'm sorry, it's my fault for not watching you properly..."
