Time passed quietly, and before they knew it, they had been tracking for nearly six hours.
At this time, the sun sets and night is about to fall, and the sky and the earth are shrouded in a layer of light twilight.
On the other hand, those who had gone ahead were obviously aware of the many risks of tracking at night. After some discussion, they decided to stop for the time being, find a suitable place to rest for the night, and then continue their journey after dawn.
During this long pursuit, they saw many shocking scenes: the ground was covered with bloodstains, and there were deep claw marks and broken branches left by tigers fighting fiercely.
It is not difficult to infer from these signs that the tiger had experienced a thrilling battle here, but as to what kind of beast it fought against, it is difficult to tell for the time being.
What was even more worrying was whether this fierce battle would damage the tiger's precious fur. Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a shadow in their hearts.
There were nearly a dozen poachers gathered! These people completely disregarded the forest ban and ecological environment, and brazenly built fires and cooked in the dense forest.
On the other hand, poor Yue Yue and others were not so lucky. Fearing that they would be discovered by poachers, they dared not light a fire and could only eat dry and hard-to-swallow food to fill their stomachs.
If we light a bonfire here, those highly alert guys on the opposite side will definitely notice what's happening here immediately.
Therefore, the whole night was extremely difficult for Yue Yue and his group. The only thing that could fill their stomachs were cold, hard steamed buns and bland water.
Fortunately, after nightfall, they accidentally discovered a hidden cave.
Everyone was overjoyed at this unexpected gain, because if they had not found this shelter, they would probably have to be exposed to the biting cold mountain wind all night, monitoring every move of the other side.
If that were the case, even if you didn't freeze to death, you would still be left with a serious illness.
So, Tian Dong and Gu Changmu took the initiative to take on the responsibility of night guard.
After some discussion, it was decided that Tian Dong would be responsible for the security work in the first half of the night, while Gu Changmu would take over the second half of the night to ensure that someone would stay awake throughout the night to prevent any accidents.
Time passed quietly, and when the sky gradually brightened the next day, the poachers on the opposite side had rested enough after a night's rest and began to set out again to track the tiger's footprints.
At the same time, Tian Dong’s good brother went through untold hardships and finally successfully returned to Qingshan Brigade in the middle of the night yesterday.
As soon as he entered the village, he went straight to the home of the village chief Zhou Fan and told him the shocking news of discovering the poachers.
Zhou Fan was shocked when he heard the news. He never expected that there would still be such daring poachers at this critical juncture.
He knew that this matter was of great importance, so he contacted an experienced hunter in the village without hesitation, and quickly called Huangpi, telling him in detail about the story of Gu Changmu and his wife tracking down poachers.
Huang Pi and Ye Pei were terrified when they heard the news. They couldn't let anything happen to their elder brother and sister-in-law, so they immediately sent a team of people to the mountain to look for them. The rest of the people went to the black market to find out which blind team dared to go to the mountain to poach.
They have already killed a blind bear and several roe deer, and now they dare to hunt tigers. They are really too rampant. With the animal protection law in recent years, many people have known that these animals are protected animals and no longer go up the mountain to hunt these animals. However, these animals are expensive, so some poachers still have a lucky mentality!
