Chapter 34 The Tiger is Coming
"Roar——" A low roar seemed to come from hell.
Wan Xingmo's expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly stuffed Xiao Fubao to Wan Ersao and shouted very quickly, "Aunt, wake everyone up and run to the exit, quickly!"
Before he finished speaking, Wan Xingmo hurriedly left these words, stepped over the fire, and kicked the sword on the ground.
He swiftly flew by like a flying swallow, caught the flying sword with one hand, and rushed towards the darkness.
When Wan Laoer heard the noise, he slowly looked up and saw a pair of shining eyes not far away, staring at him coldly.
Then, there was another low roar.
Wan Laoer was so frightened that he forgot to pull up his pants. He stood there stupidly, watching those eyes getting closer and closer to him.
His legs seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move at all. His face was as pale as paper and his body was shaking constantly.
His hands, which were pulling at his pants, were shaking so much that he couldn't hold the waistband anymore, and his pants slid down his legs to his ankles.
The two bare legs were exposed to the air, and the coolness instantly woke Wan Laoer up.
Courage suddenly surged up from nowhere, and he instantly bent down and pulled up his pants, shouting in panic: "Help!"
The sound echoed in the empty cave, and also angered the eyes that were getting closer and closer.
Wan Laoer only felt a strong fishy smell coming from his nose, and the breath of death had never been so close to him.
At this critical moment, Wan Laoer felt that he was suddenly lifted up, spun in the air, and then was tightly embraced by Wan Xingmo on the ground.
"Uncle Wan Er, are you okay?" After hearing Wan Xingmo's voice, Wan Lao Er finally found his own voice.
"Master Mo, what was that just now?" Wan Laoer had not yet seen clearly what the thing that had attacked him just now was, but he felt that it was extremely fierce and ferocious.
"Tiger." There was an imperceptible coldness in Wan Xingmo's voice, and his frown also showed that he was not completely sure about taking down the king of the forest.
"What?! Old...old...tiger?" Wan Laoer's legs suddenly went limp and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Wan Xingmo grabbed him and picked him up.
Wan Xingmo didn't dare to delay. After the tiger missed its attack, it turned around and stared at the two of them.
"Uncle Wan, I want to lure the tiger out of the cave. There are too many people in this cave. If the tiger finds us, we will surely die."
Wan Xingmo said as he was thinking of a countermeasure in his mind.
However, the tiger did not give them time to think. It growled, kicked the ground with its hind legs, and flew into the air, rushing towards the two like a mountain.
"Be careful!" Wan Xingmo pushed Wan Laoer away with force. He picked up the sword and rolled on the ground. The sword scratched the tiger's front paws, leaving a trail of blood. The tiger roared past his head.
"Uncle Wan Er, go and get everyone to evacuate the cave immediately. Set fire to the cave entrance and I will lead it to the other side.
"Wan Xingmo roared, slapped the ground and jumped up, stabbing at the tiger's back like an arrow. Although the tiger was huge, it was extremely agile. It turned around quickly and pounced on Wan Xingmo again.
Wan Xingmo's sword just brushed past the tiger's butt, and he fell into a passive position.
The tiger opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Wan Xingmo's calf. If it had bitten hard, Wan Xingmo's calf would have been broken. At this critical moment, a black gold spear flew straight towards the tiger like lightning.
The tiger sensed the danger and immediately dodged to the side. The black gold spear struck the stone wall, creating a spark that fell to the ground, and Wan Xingmo thus escaped.
"father?"
Wan Xingmo straightened up and looked not far away, and saw Wan Jinshu standing upright not far away, staring at the tiger.
Wan Xingmo bent down to pick up the black gold spear and quickly returned to Wan Jinshu.
"Dad, why are you here?"
Wan Xingmo glanced at Wan Jinshu with a worried look on his face.
Wan Jinshu stared at the tiger's movements and said, "Dad is only seriously injured, not dead. How can a child like you handle a tiger? Stand back and let Dad fight it."
After using Wan Ersao's medicine, Wan Jinshu felt that his wounds were much better and some parts had begun to scab over.
The reason why he was able to arrive so timely was all thanks to Wan Ersao.
On the other side, after Wan Xingmo left a word, Wan Ersao immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly shouted in the cave.
The first to be awakened were Mrs. Wan and her family.
"Second son's wife, what's wrong with you? Why are you screaming in the middle of the night?" Old Mrs. Wan sat up in a daze, and the others also got up one after another with sleepy eyes and messy hair.
"Mom, hurry up and don't take anything. Quick! Something has entered the cave."
Based on Wan Xingmo's expression and actions, Wan Ersao guessed that there must be danger approaching. What could be in this forest? Probably a wild beast or something.
Thinking of the tiger roar before entering the cave, Wan Ersao felt uneasy. She hugged Xiao Fubao nervously and tried to pull Wan Wen with one hand.
When everyone heard this, they were instantly startled and woke up.
"Hurry, get up, everyone, get up and run out." Old Mrs. Wan kicked Mrs. Wan who was still sleeping next to her.
Mrs. Wan grumbled, and sat up very reluctantly, mumbling, "What are you doing?"
Old Mrs. Wan ignored her. Instead, the two brothers Wan Quan and Wan Xi rushed forward, pulled up Mrs. Wan like she was dragging a sack, and ran out with her in their arms.
The eldest son Wan was holding his youngest son Wan Xi, the third son Wan was carrying Wan Hu on his back, the third son Wan's wife was holding Wan Long, the fourth son Wan and Liu were supporting the old lady Wan, Zhao was holding Wan Yirou's hand, and Wan Xingchen was following closely behind them.
This group of people rushed towards the cave entrance like a gust of wind.
The other people in the cave were awakened by the Wan family's sudden action. They were sleeping like dead pigs and did not hear Wan Ersao's screams at all.
The officers and soldiers were too far away from them, and they did not know that there were entrances at both ends of the cave.
When the soldiers saw Mrs. Wan and the Zhao family running out like crazy, they immediately shouted and blocked their way, yelling, "What are you doing? Why are you going crazy in the middle of the night? Go back now."
Wan Ersao was extremely anxious and was about to say something, but Wan Xingchen spoke before her: "Sir, there is a big black snake in there as thick as an arm. My eldest brother just went out to find food. We couldn't beat him, so we ran out. Saving our lives is the most important thing."
When Zhou Qiang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
If we can catch a big black snake as thick as our arm, wouldn't we be able to enjoy a delicious meal of roasted snake meat?
The other members of the Wan family looked at Wan Xingchen in surprise, but this little boy looked flustered and frightened, with no sign of any improvisation at all.
Old Mrs. Wan immediately realized Wan Xingchen's plan. She looked at Mrs. Wan, and sure enough, Mrs. Wan was about to refute.
"Sir, please let us out. We can't beat the snake." As Old Lady Wan said this, she quickly moved towards Mrs. Wan and twisted her body hard.
Everyone in the Wan family had anxiety and fear on their faces. After all, they didn't know what had broken in at this moment, and could only blindly follow Wan Ersao and flee like headless flies.
Zhou Qiang glanced at Wu Lei, then at the others, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to eat grilled snake meat?"
"think!"
Everyone answered in unison that the steamed buns they had eaten in the evening had long been digested, so who wouldn't want to eat some meat?
Besides, for more than a dozen officers and soldiers holding long swords, killing a snake was a piece of cake.
Zhou Qiang led a dozen officers and soldiers inside, while the Wan family members ran out in a hurry.
"You little brat, how do you know it's a snake? If it's something else, the officer will come back to trouble us later, and you will have to bear the consequences alone."
Mrs. Wan glared at Wan Xingchen, her words full of reproach.
Old Lady Wan slapped Sister Wan hard in the face and said, "You idiot, shut up and run for your life."
At this time, Xiao Fubao pointed in a direction and screamed "Ah-ah-ah" at the top of his voice.
Old Lady Wan understood what he meant and immediately looked in the direction that Xiao Fubao pointed. It was pitch black in the forest and she couldn't see anything clearly, but she made a prompt decision: "Go that way."
Wan Yirou was held by Zhao's hand and followed the Wan family, walking forward with one step deep and one step shallow.
"Mom, what should we do with Dad? What happened in the cave?"
Wan Yirou was still sleeping when she was woken up by her mother Zhao. She was still a little dazed.
Zhao was not quite sure what had happened. She just knew that something terrible seemed to have entered the cave, but if she was asked what it was, she couldn't tell her.
"Rou'er, be good. I don't know what happened in there, but it must be very dangerous. Your father and brother are both there. We just need to protect ourselves and not hold your father and brother back. Be careful where you step."
Zhao patiently explained Wan Yirou's doubts and reminded her at the same time.
Wan Yichen walked at the end, he knew in his heart that he was a tiger, and he was also worried about his father and elder brother, but he couldn't help much if he went, and he would become a burden, so he simply stayed and took good care of his mother and sister.
The other members of the Wan family followed Boss Wan and quickly moved through the woods, but after walking for half a day they did not get very far.
As soon as Mrs. Wan and the Zhaos left, Mr. Wan came back breathlessly, shouting, "Tiger, there's a tiger! Everyone, run!"
