Chapter 29: The Horror of the Deep Mountains 2

Su Mingyue stared at the tiger not far away with her eyes wide open, feeling panic in her heart. She looked forward at the ginseng, whose outline was clearly visible, and then shifted her gaze back to the tiger in front of her on the left, her heart in extreme confusion.

With her current skills, if she wanted to fight such a ferocious beast head-on, it would undoubtedly be like hitting a rock with an egg, and there would be no chance of winning at all.

However, she would be unwilling to give up this precious ginseng so easily!

This is ginseng. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to come across ginseng again next time!

"Ahhhh!" Su Mingyue screamed madly in her heart. She was really in a dilemma!

Su Mingyue stood there and pondered for a while, and finally made up her mind to dig the ginseng. She thought to herself: I should be quiet and make as little noise as possible to avoid alerting the tiger, and I should be able to dig the ginseng smoothly.

Even if she was unfortunately discovered by the tiger, the most she would do was to give up digging the ginseng intact, pull it out directly, and then run away quickly. After all, she was quite confident in her ability to escape.

Thinking of this, Su Mingyue took a deep breath, gathered all the mental strength in her body to the peak, then held her breath tightly, carefully raised her feet, and slowly approached the ginseng which was only a few steps away in front of her.

With every step she took, her heart was in her throat, fearing that she would alarm the ferocious tiger. Fortunately, until she reached the ginseng, she did not attract the tiger's attention at all.

When she came to the ginseng, Su Mingyue first squatted down slowly, then gently stretched out her hands and began to carefully dig away the thin layer of loose soil covering the ginseng.

Then she took out the hatchet that had been placed in the space and carefully dug up the slightly harder soil underneath.

Just when he was about to successfully dig out the whole ginseng, suddenly, he heard a deafening tiger roar!

This sudden roar was like a thunder, startling Su Mingyue so much that she shuddered all over. She subconsciously reached out and pulled the ginseng out of the soil.

Thankfully, the ginseng had already been dug to the bottom and was not seriously damaged by her panicked grab.

Su Mingyue raised her head nervously and looked straight in the direction of the tiger.

She saw the huge and majestic tiger, now staring straight at her, with its sharp eyes seeming to be looking in her direction.

Su Mingyue's heart tensed up, not daring to hesitate for a moment, and she quickly concentrated on mobilizing her mental strength.

She quickly wrapped herself up completely with her mental power, not letting even a single bit of her breath leak out.

After doing all this, she still felt unsafe, so she used her remaining mental energy to cleverly disguise herself as an inconspicuous sapling.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Su Mingyue just waited quietly.

Finally, after a long while, the tiger didn't seem to notice anything unusual, and slowly turned its big head and looked away.

However, even so, Su Mingyue still did not dare to act rashly, and remained highly vigilant and in perfect disguise.

Sure enough, not long after, the tiger suddenly turned its head again, and its pair of eyes as big as copper bells began to scan everywhere, not missing any corner around it.

Su Mingyue's heart instantly rose to her throat, but she still lay there motionless.

After a careful search, the tiger still failed to find Su Mingyue hiding in the dark. After finally confirming that there was no prey around, it slowly lowered its head, squinted its eyes and dozed off.

However, to ensure everything went well, Su Mingyue still did not take off her disguise.

She waited patiently for a while longer, until she confirmed again and again that the tiger had completely relaxed its guard and fallen asleep, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Su Mingyue re-condensed the little remaining mental strength, carefully controlled it to continue to envelop her own breath, and then tiptoed slowly towards the edge of the mountain.

She was extremely careful with every step she took, fearing that any noise would wake the sleeping tiger.

After finally reaching the edge of the mountain, Su Mingyue still did not dare to relax. Only when she reached the foot of the mountain did she relax her tense nerves as if relieved of a heavy burden, and let go of her long-exhausted mental strength.

At this moment, she felt as if her body was drained of energy, limp and without any strength, but she still gritted her teeth, found a stick, supported her body with difficulty, and walked out of the mountain step by step.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Su Mingyue deliberately circled the mountain several times, allowing her aura to spread to several directions of the mountain before going down the mountain.

When she finally made it down the mountain, she was so exhausted that she almost collapsed to the ground.

Su Mingyue sat at the foot of the mountain and rested for a while. When she felt better, she picked up some firewood at the foot of the mountain. She came down the mountain with an empty basket on her back, which would attract attention. After picking up some firewood, she walked towards home.

Along the way, due to the excessive use of her mental power, her stomach started to feel empty, and she felt like she could eat a whole cow.

When they got home, Su Qingfeng was playing with his friends and hadn't come back yet. Su Mingyue went to the kitchen, took out the firewood from the backpack and put it away, then reached into the backpack, probed into the space with her consciousness, and took the pheasant out of the space. Then she pretended that she had taken the pheasant out of the backpack.

After Su Mingyue finished, she sat on the wooden board in the kitchen to rest for a while, then washed her hands and started to boil water and prepare the pheasants.

She plucked the pheasant, washed it, chopped it into small pieces, put it in a pot, filled it with half a pot of water, and started to light a fire. She planned to make chicken soup, and after the water boiled, she added ginger to remove the fishy smell and a little salt to season it.

Start cooking over low heat. Su Mingyue is not idle either. She starts kneading the dough. When the chicken soup is almost ready, she presses the dough into the shape of a pancake and places it on the edge of the pot. After a while, it is ready to eat.

Just as the meal was ready, Su Qingfeng appeared at the gate of the yard. Before he could even stand still, he sniffed the air like a hound and strode towards the kitchen.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, he couldn't wait to shout to Su Mingyue who was busy, "Sister, why do I smell meat? Have you cooked meat?"
