Yue Yue, Gu Changmu, and Tian Dong tossed and turned that night, unable to fall asleep. Although the cave provided shelter from the wind and rain, the thick mountain air still made them feel a little chilly.
As soon as the dawn light broke through the sky, they couldn't wait to get out of the cave and continue tracking the group of poachers.
In the early morning, the sun had not yet risen completely, and a thin layer of mist filled the mountains and forests. The cold and damp air blew in our faces, making us shiver.
At this moment, due to the presence of an outsider, Tian Dong, it was inconvenient for them to take out warm clothes or delicious food from the space. In desperation, they could only rely on the dry food prepared in advance yesterday to barely fill their stomachs.
When everything was packed and they were about to set off, they found that the poachers on the opposite side had also finished packing their luggage and started to continue tracking the tiger.
Walking along the winding mountain road, they could clearly see the deep and shallow footprints left by the tiger along the way.
These footprints seemed to be silent guides, leading them gradually closer to their goal.
However, after a whole morning of arduous trekking, a thrilling sound suddenly came from the front - first the crisp and loud gunshots broke the silence in the mountains, followed by the deafening roar of the tiger.
This sudden scene was like a thunderclap, striking Yue Yue and the others hard in the heart, causing their heartbeats to accelerate and their breathing to become rapid.
Especially Tian Dong, a young man who had just started out, had never seen such a scene before. He was instantly frightened and his face turned pale, and his legs trembled like sieves.
You know, those vicious poachers on the opposite side each have a hunting rifle, while on their side, only Tian Dong carries a weapon.
Faced with such a huge gap in strength, everyone couldn't help but have an ominous premonition: Could it be that the majestic tiger has been shot and its life is hanging by a thread?
However, Gu Changmu's deep sense of justice overcame his fear and drove him to go and lend a helping hand regardless of the danger.
At this moment, Gu Changmu snatched the heavy hunting rifle from Tian Dong's hand without hesitation. He looked at Yue Yue and Tian Dong with a firm gaze and whispered, "I'll go over and check the situation first. You two hide behind this big rock first and don't move!"
Before he finished speaking, he ran towards the direction where the gunshot came from like an arrow.
Time passed by minute by minute. After about half an hour, Gu Changmu moved forward cautiously and fearfully, and finally saw the group of hateful poachers from a distance.
A closer look revealed that the poachers were in a horrible condition. Most of them had wounds of varying depths, and their clothes were stained with blood.
The tiger in front of him was indeed worthy of its reputation and was by no means an ordinary creature. Although there were many shocking gunshot wounds on its body, judging from the fact that it was still able to move around flexibly and freely, these gunshot wounds were mostly just superficial injuries and did not cause much impact on its ability to move.
At this moment, the huge tiger was opening its bloody mouth, breathing heavily, and staring fiercely at the group of poachers holding hunting rifles in front of it.
Even though the poachers were wearing thick cotton clothes, they could not withstand the attacks of the tiger's sharp claws, and their clothes were torn to shreds.
I have to say, this tiger is really huge. Compared with an ordinary adult tiger, it is more than twice as big.
Even these experienced poachers had never seen such a huge beast before.
Although this ferocious tiger made them extremely miserable, when they thought of the huge wealth that this precious tiger skin could bring, the greed in their hearts instantly overwhelmed their fear.
They nervously checked the bullets in their pockets, and after a thorough count, they found that everyone had very little ammunition left, with only about ten rounds left.
At this moment, the poachers' leader's eyes flickered, and he winked at his companions around him without any expression.
He just nodded slightly, and the others immediately understood.
At the same time, Gu Changmu nimbly climbed up a tall tree and sat steadily on a thick branch.
He carefully hid behind the dense leaves and closely observed the poachers' every move below through the gaps between the branches.
At this moment, he was holding a hunting rifle tightly in his hand, his finger lightly on the trigger, ready to shoot at any time.
The poachers moved slowly and silently formed a tight encirclement, targeting the tiger trapped in the middle.
They obviously wanted to trap the tiger so that it had nowhere to escape, and then wait for an opportunity to strike and capture it in one fell swoop.
Gu Changmu, who was on a high place, occupied an excellent geographical location and could clearly see every subtle movement of the tiger.
The tiger was breathing heavily at this moment, looking exhausted, and it seemed that it was at the end of its strength.
Gu Changmu couldn't help but worry secretly in his heart. If he didn't take action, the tiger would probably have a hard time holding on.
Thinking of this, he made a prompt decision and without hesitation pulled the trigger continuously towards the sky. A few crisp gunshots broke the silence of the forest.
When the poachers heard the gunshots, their attention was instantly drawn to the direction where Gu Changmu was.
At this moment, the tiger, which seemed powerless to resist, suddenly burst out with amazing strength, pounced forward like lightning, and rushed straight towards the poacher closest to it.
