It happened that on that day, the moment the Great Chu Emperor Zong Zheng Langri stepped into the mountains and forests, the originally clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds.
The dark sky seemed like it would fall in an instant.
"Your Majesty, the sky suddenly changed and it was pitch black."
"For the sake of His Majesty's safety, shall we return to the palace today?"
Zong Zheng Langri's personal bodyguard nervously asked for instructions.
"Why don't we talk about the hunting some other day?"
"We're in the mountains and forests, surrounded by wild animals. If you're not careful, you might even have trouble distinguishing between humans and animals from ten meters away, let alone tigers."
"Your Majesty's safety is now a matter of great importance to the nation and the people, and it is the most important wish of all."
"I beg Your Majesty to grant me the permission to return!"
Zong Zheng Langri glared at the guard with a fierce look in his eyes: "Shut up!"
"I have made up my mind! This day wants to stop me, do you want to stop me too?"
"Just because I've been cured of a long-standing illness, you've become so frightened that you've resorted to desperate measures?"
"If you dare to stop me with nonsense again, I will chop off your head first!"
The guards then lowered their heads in panic, not daring to stop the Emperor of Chu.
The King of Chu rode his horse and walked in front.
Soon, it was completely dark all around, and one couldn't see one's hand in front of one's face.
The guards lit torches one after another.
A small team was sent to the mountains and forests to search for the tiger's traces.
At that time, it was only three quarters past three in the afternoon.
This day was so strange and eerie that it made people feel uneasy.
But the more this happened, the more the Emperor of Chu believed Qingyangzi's words.
Black air, nightmare.
For the Emperor of Chu, this was indeed more like the beginning of a new nightmare.
Soon, they really found the tiger.
The King of Chu rode away on horseback with a bow and arrow, but they accidentally entered a real beast forest.
Unexpectedly, heavy rain began to pour down.
The torches went out one by one, and everyone was plunged into darkness again.
Countless eyes were emitting a faint green light in the darkness.
Low roars rolling in the throat could be heard from all around.
They were completely surrounded by the wild beasts in the forest!
"Protect His Majesty—"
The guards protected the Emperor of Chu in the middle, intending to break out at the risk of their lives.
However, the wild beasts such as brown bears, wild wolves, tigers, and poisonous snakes seemed to have reached a tacit understanding and did not attack each other. Instead, they all pounced on the guards.
Even an iron wall would be broken down in an instant.
At this time, the King of Chu was not thinking about how to escape quickly. He picked up his longbow and planned to take the opportunity to hunt the tiger.
But he ultimately overestimated his skills, which had been abandoned for many years.
Even if he had shot all his arrows, he would not know in the pitch darkness whether he had hit a human or an animal.
There were screams all around.
The King of Chu could only draw out his sword again.
Then, with full confidence, he prepared to break through the encirclement and go to the tiger himself.
Unfortunately, just as he finally saw the shadow of the tiger and rushed over with his sword, he was surrounded by three wolves that jumped out.
The tiger also slowly walked towards him from behind.
"Escort His Majesty, withdraw—"
A guard had his neck bitten off.
At this moment, the Emperor of Chu was also filled with murderous intent and animal desires.
But he finally regained some consciousness and could only drive his horse away quickly, but he didn't expect that the wild wolf and tiger were chasing him.
The horse ran away in panic, and the King of Chu also held his sword and prepared to cover its retreat himself, but he didn't expect that the horse would panic and rush towards an outstretched branch.
The horse neighed and ran away, but the King of Chu was hung on the tree branch.
The tiger and the three wolves walked slowly forward.
The tiger roared and planned to climb up the tree and bite the Emperor of Chu down himself.
The King of Chu could only wave the sword he still held tightly in his hand with great effort: "Don't come over - save me, save me -"
But the guards were still fighting desperately in the rear, and it was too late for them to rush over to save him.
The Emperor of Chu closed his eyes in despair.
All that flashed through my mind were the days when I was in the cold palace.
Suddenly, there was a "puff" sound.
Someone chopped off a wolf's head with one stroke.
“Help!”
Several young men who looked like they were just hunting came out of the woods and lent a helping hand to the Emperor of Chu at the right time.
And they were none other than Zhui Yu, Leng Dian and several guards from Prince Su’s Mansion, who were brought by Duan Rongshi.
Naturally, all of them have extraordinary skills.
Moreover, Duan Rongshi had been watching secretly for a long time.
If the time had not been ripe, he would not have shown up at all.
After they quickly dealt with the three wild wolves, Duan Rongshi jumped onto the big tree in front of him and wielded the big axe on his waist skillfully.
With one swipe of his axe, he cut off the branch on which the Emperor of Chu was hanging, and the Emperor of Chu fell heavily to the ground with a "pa ji".
Then he turned around and confronted the tiger.
Zhui Yu followed and jumped onto the tree.
Leng Dian and his guards turned around and killed the remaining beasts that pounced on them.
Naturally, it was another fierce fight.
Only three or five of the Chu Emperor's guards were still alive.
Although Duan Rongshi's men were all injured, they were ultimately safe.
When he killed the tiger to the very end, the Emperor of Chu did not forget to shout, "Stop!"
"I...it's just right, I will come in person!"
The King of Chu picked up the sword, stepped forward and stabbed the tiger's neck himself.
Before Duan Rongshi turned around, the Emperor of Chu raised his sword and stabbed him in the arm.
"Who are you?"
