"You four, get out."
The four watched the fierce battle between the tiger, the bear, and the wolf, seemingly forgetting their existence as humans and realizing it was none of their business, so they could only retreat.
Looking at the imposing figure on the tiger's back, the four of them felt it was all very surreal. Although they seemed calm on the surface, a million herbivores were running through their minds.
Can anyone tell them when this tiger became so docile that it can actually be used as a mount?
The bear and the wolf were clearly Lu Yuan's accomplices as well.
What the hell is going on? Why can't they understand? It all feels unreal.
Qian Bing silently pinched himself, not realizing he had pinched his wound, which made him yelp in pain.
"Damn it, so this wasn't a dream."
The other three glanced at him in unison, then simultaneously withdrew their hands that were about to pinch themselves.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan grinned at the group, reached into his pocket, pulled out a small medicine bottle, and tossed it to Su Tingxiao.
"Captain Su, catch it."
Su Tingxiao raised his hand and grabbed the medicine bottle.
"Just sprinkle the hemostatic, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic powder directly onto the wound."
"Thanks!"
I thought he hadn't brought anything since he was empty-handed, but it turns out he had prepared quite a bit.
Just as the four of them had finished applying medicine to their wounds, the battle between the tiger, the bear, and the wolf finally ended, naturally with the tiger collapsing to the ground with a thud.
Lu Yuan shouted "Good!" from the tiger's back. Even the four well-trained men were startled by the sudden shout. Lu Yuan almost burst out laughing when he saw this.
Lu Yuan waved to the bear and the wolf king, but neither of them gave the four of them a second glance. They walked up to Lu Yuan with their heads held high and arrogant steps.
Lu Yuan chuckled as he patted the wolf's head and then the bear's face, his hands covered in blood. He let out a disgusted "Eek!" and wiped the blood back onto the wolf king's body. "You're filthy. Quickly clean all the blood off your body."
Neither Bear Brother nor Wolf King were injured; the blood on their bodies came from the big tiger.
The two animals obediently rolled around in the snow to clean the bloodstains off their bodies.
Qian Bing and Xu Guowu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and Su Tingxiao and Chen Beilin weren't much better off, their eyelids twitching wildly.
Are these two big guys still the same ferocious beasts from before? How come they're so docile and intelligent? They only need to wipe off the bloodstains on their bodies to know they want to roll in the snow.
The way they rolled around in the snow was so...adorable.
Damn, this must be a hallucination.
The four of them secretly pinched the person next to them several times, and everyone was grimacing and their faces were contorted.
After Xiong Di and the Wolf King cleaned the blood off themselves, Lu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
The two big ones obediently followed behind Tiger Brother, one on each side.
The four looked at the large tiger on the ground, then at Lu Yuan, and decided to follow.
Lu Yuan waved his hand, "No need to follow me. This tiger is yours, and those few roe deer are mine. Keep an eye on them for me, I'll come back for them later. I'm going to hunt a few more prey."
The four stopped and watched the bizarre group walk away.
Chen Beilin asked, "Captain, are we really not going to follow?"
Su Tingxiao stared at the figure on the tiger's back, his heart surging with excitement. He clenched his fists, a slight smile playing on his lips. He looked away and asked, "Do you think he needs us to come with him?"
Qian Bing quickly replied, "Of course not. I didn't expect Comrade Lu to be so capable, actually being friends with the tigers, bears, and wolf king in these mountains."
Chen Beilin said, "They don't seem like friends."
"If we're not friends, what are we?" Qian Bing asked.
“Those three are like pets, like underlings. They listen to Comrade Lu very well, just like police dogs.”
"That's much more impressive than a police dog. The tiger can even carry him. That's amazing."
Su Tingxiao's eyes were deep as he looked at the tiger on the ground and suddenly asked, "Have you noticed that the tiger that Instructor Lu is riding is bigger than this one on the ground, and its fur is shinier and more lustrous?"
The three nodded in unison, Qian Bing's eyes shining.
"Yes, yes, the bear's fur is shiny black, and that silver wolf is really beautiful. Its silver fur is long and smooth, just like silk."
However, people only sighed about this point before their attention was diverted to another issue.
Chen Beilin asked, "Captain Su, I just heard you call Instructor Lu 'Instructor Lu,' does that mean you acknowledge him?"
Su Tingxiao glanced at him. "Don't you approve?"
Chen Beilin also raised the corners of his mouth, "Instructor Lu probably has some skills that we don't know about, but what he showed today is enough for him to be our instructor."
Xu Guowu nodded, "Yes, I'll accept Comrade Lu as my instructor."
Qian Bing's excitement was palpable. "I wholeheartedly agree. No wonder the commander made him our instructor; he's so capable. From now on, I'll obey him just like a tiger, a bear, and a wolf."
The three people: ...
That's true, but can you please stop comparing yourself to a few animals?
"Alright, let's tie up the tiger and those silly roe deer first."
The tiger weighed at least three or four hundred pounds, too heavy for one person to handle. So they cut down tree roots to make a stretcher and tied the tiger to a tree branch with rope.
The same goes for the roe deer; four were placed on each stretcher, weighing over 200 jin (approximately 100 kg).
When Lu Yuan returned, everyone had finished.
"Instructor Lu, are you ready? Should we go down the mountain now?" Su Tingxiao asked.
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow. Did this mean he recognized him as an instructor?
He smiled enigmatically. "Instructor Lu? Isn't it premature to call him that? The hunt isn't over yet, and so far your prey looks a bit stronger."
Is there even a need for a competition? The opponent has three trump cards; whatever prey in the mountains wants, it's a piece of cake. Thinking back to how they previously thought winning this match was a foregone conclusion, the four of them felt a surge of anxiety.
"Instructor Lu, there's no need to continue. We've already lost."
The four of them readily admitted defeat.
Lu Yuan nodded. "Well, even though you've admitted defeat, we still need to reach a conclusion. Come with me; I just hunted a few big ones myself."
The group followed the man and the tiger for a short distance, turning several corners before arriving at their destination. There, they saw three enormous creatures lying beside the bear and the wolf king.
The four were stunned and almost lost their composure once again.
"Wild, wild boars, and three of them this big?" Qian Bing exclaimed in surprise.
They circled the three wild boars several times, their shock growing, for the three boars' fatal wounds were to their necks, which had been cut in half by a sharp dagger.
This was clearly done intentionally, a single, fatal blow. Such skill is truly remarkable.
Of course, the wild boar also had other wounds, clearly bite marks from tigers, wolves, and bears, but none of them were fatal.
The four exchanged glances. There was no doubt who had done it. They said that this person had some unknown strengths. With such skills, even the four of them combined probably couldn't beat him.
Their Adam's apples bobbed silently. Since Instructor Lu hadn't revealed his skills, they decided to pretend they didn't know.
