At 8 p.m., Tu Li indeed saw that everyone had gone to sleep, except for one middle-aged man on duty, who also told Tu Li that he would rest at 9 p.m.
This is one of the things that people online are very curious about regarding the Microworld Inn, and it's one of the inn's unsolved mysteries. Everyone goes to bed at 8 PM sharp every day, and the entire inn follows this rule—something almost impossible in modern society.
These days, which young person isn't a night owl? Who goes to bed at eight o'clock every day? Even older people aren't that punctual.
But Tu Li couldn't very well barge into their room to see if they were really asleep or doing something else.
"Could it be that they start their meeting promptly at eight o'clock? But they all went back to their rooms. If it's a web conference, there's no need for them to gather here. Could it be an internal network, so they won't be monitored?"
Tu Li waited in the lobby until 10 o'clock with doubts. After seeing that no one was there, he carefully observed the inn's several surveillance points before going to sleep.
"These people are really something, leaving so much valuable stuff here," he muttered to himself before going back to sleep.
Chen Yang and his companions had no idea that a "Kogoro Mouri" had infiltrated the inn and was still guarding their camp in the Microverse.
The torrential rain finally showed its power on the third day.
The camp was now a muddy mess, but fortunately they had built cobblestone paths beforehand, and these paths were laid between the houses, so it was still possible to visit each other.
There was some water accumulation in the time acceleration zone. Jiang Bo's father wanted to go out to repair the drainage ditch, but Chen Yang stopped him. He was too old to go out in such heavy rain to repair the drainage ditch.
Chen Yang, Ding Qihan, and Yun Hu went to repair the drainage ditch, wearing straw raincoats and carrying hoes.
A strong wind brought raindrops that stung my face, but thankfully there wasn't much rain inside the rain shelter.
"Dig a water channel under the windbreak!" Chen Yang shouted.
"Chen Yang, there's a scaffold that's crooked, I'll go fix it," Yun Hu said.
They were working in the heavy rain when suddenly a tree branch was blown by the wind and struck Ding Qihan's arm hard, leaving a bloody scratch.
"I'm fine, you can continue. I'll go find Lini myself, and I'll ask Zhang Jian to come and help me."
Ding Qihan said to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang nodded: "Be careful."
"Woof woof!"
The lucky one ran out and roared in one direction.
Chen Yang put down his hoe and went over to take a look. He found that there were two bison, which seemed to want to enter the camp to take shelter from the rain.
Chen Yang cannot easily let the bison, which has not been trained by them, in; it is extremely dangerous.
"Your luck is now in your hands, and Little Black's too."
Lucky understood Chen Yang's instructions and ran to find Xiao Hei, who was helping to look after the animals. With Xiao Hei around, the animals were much more well-behaved.
Soon, the two camp guardians went out to drive away the bison.
Although bison are strong, they are herbivores after all and have an innate fear of carnivores. It should be fine to leave them to Xiao Hei and Ouhuang.
Zhang Jian arrived quickly as well.
“Ding Qihan is fine. Lini is applying medicine to him. I’ll help you dig the drainage ditch,” Zhang Jian said.
"roar!"
"Woof! Woof!"
The voices of Xiao Hei and Ou Huang came through.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Jian asked.
"It's alright, a few cows are coming, we're herding them."
"Woof woof woof woof!!" A series of continuous barking came from the dog.
Chen Yang realized something was wrong, put down his hoe and rushed over with Zhang Jian. They found the bison lying on the ground, and facing off against Ou Huang and Xiao Hei were three tigers.
"How can there be three!"
Zhang Jian was somewhat shocked. Even a lone wolf like Tiger was having a party in the pouring rain?
“No, one of them seems to be a different breed,” Yun Hu said as he arrived.
Chen Yang also noticed that one of them had slightly different markings and was smaller in size.
"What a coincidence."
Chen Yang picked up his spear and throwing knife, stepped out of the enclosure, and confronted the tiger alongside Ou Huang and Xiao Hei.
“Brother Yun, Zhang Jian, you two be ready to provide support at any time. I have wolf-like blood and eagle-like eyes, so I can handle tigers. Don’t worry,” Chen Yang said.
Yun Hu and Zhang Jian both nodded.
Holding a cold weapon and facing a tiger head-on—not everyone has that courage, at least Zhang Jian knew he didn't. Yun Hu might have the courage, but he lacked the ability.
Xiao Hei and Ou Huang are facing off against a pair of tigers that are likely a couple, while Chen Yang is dealing with another one.
These two tigers were likely following the buffalo, or perhaps they were seeking shelter from the rain.
Whatever the reason, Chen Yang was determined to hunt them down or drive them away; if he couldn't kill them, he would at least make them afraid to come.
Xiao Hei's fighting ability was no less than that of a tiger, so Chen Yang wasn't too worried. Although Ou Huang was a little weaker than Xiao Hei, it wasn't afraid of tigers either. It and Xiao Hei cooperated very well, and these two tigers might not be able to defeat them.
Chen Yang had encountered tigers before, so he had some idea of what was going on.
He can win as long as he keeps the tiger away.
In terms of close combat ability, Chen Yang is not weak and may be able to fight this tiger, but he has a weapon, so why take the risk? This is not a fantasy novel where you have to be in a life-or-death situation to break through.
The tiger confronting Chen Yang launched the first attack, and Chen Yang did not hesitate to throw a flying knife immediately.
The tiger's instincts were sharp; it reacted quickly and dodged the flying knife, which only grazed its skin. But the tiger was wary and didn't approach further.
The rain and wind were too strong, greatly affecting Chen Yang's aim. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been just a minor scrape.
Meanwhile, Xiao Hei and Ou Huang also engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the tigers. Their battle was extremely fierce, with the four animals fighting hand-to-hand. In one exchange, Xiao Hei injured one of the tigers, but it was also bitten by another tiger. Ou Huang pounced and bit the neck of the tiger that had bitten Xiao Hei, but was broken free, only managing to tear off a bloody piece of its fur.
Yun Hu and Zhang Jian watched nervously, holding stones in their hands, ready to provide support at any moment. They dared not use axes or spears to throw, as it would be easy to accidentally injure someone.
The others also came out after hearing the commotion, wanting to see what was going on.
"Everyone be careful. Mo Xi, take Jing Wu, Chen Liu, and Ai Qi back. Xiao Qing, you practiced archery in the hunting group, right? Come over and help prepare for support," Yun Hu said hurriedly.
"Looks like we don't need to," Mo Xi said.
Yun Hu was taken aback, then turned his head. In just a short while, the situation on the field had changed drastically.
The tiger confronting Chen Yang was struck by a flying object that pierced its eye and collapsed, unable to get up. Meanwhile, with Xiao Hei's help, Ou Huang killed one tiger and seriously injured the other. The situation was now quite clear.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, Chen Yang's eyes widened, and he suddenly threw a flying knife.
Another tiger, already severely injured, suddenly pounced on the European Emperor.
The throwing knife hit the tiger's waist accurately, but the impact was not enough to stop the tiger. It slammed its claws into the tiger's head, and blood splattered everywhere!
"Lucky bastard!"
