“Roar, roar, roar—”
The approaching roar made Hua Shi more and more uneasy.
With his chest beating violently, Xie Mingchi grabbed her hand and ran forward. The tiger's roar seemed to be approaching from behind...
Hua Shi was breathing heavily, and a strong sense of uneasiness drove her to look behind her.
Pupils suddenly constricted...
“Roar, roar, roar—!!”
The huge tiger pushed away the fleeing crowd, and its pair of green eyes locked tightly on... her direction, running direction, and trend, all coming towards her.
In front of the huge claws of the beast, Hua Shi's violently beating heart almost stopped suddenly under the pressure of this moment.
The unsettling thing that happened from the beginning...
The tiger obviously smelled the scent of the spring water on her body and rushed towards her!
"Ashi, don't look back, run!"
When Xie Mingchi noticed Hua running behind him, he was distracted for a moment and couldn't keep up with him. He quickly reminded her in a calm voice so that she could come back to her senses quickly.
“Roar, roar, roar!!”
The tiger's roar was getting closer.
The scene was chaotic with the sounds of screaming and fleeing all around. Some people even fell to the ground in panic and were trampled under the feet of people who were busy escaping, howling in pain.
Some people ran slowly and were caught up by the tiger. They fell to the ground and thought they were going to die. However, the tiger that was chasing them did not show any intention of stopping and passed them directly over.
The frightened man sat on the ground, watching the tiger chasing after him, clutching his chest, his face pale, the suffocating feeling of escaping death instantly flooding his heart...
“Da! Da!——”
The sound of claws scraping against the stone ground was so close that it seemed to be right behind my forehead.
The tiger is approaching...
Xie Mingchi obviously also noticed something was wrong. There was a group of people fleeing behind him just now, but it seemed as if they were knocked away by the tiger in an instant. The tiger's target was not those people who were fleeing in panic, but went straight for the two of them...!
As this thought came to his mind, Xie Mingchi let go and pulled Hua Shi in front of him. He pushed the man forward with force and stood in front of him without hesitation. His dark vision met the tiger's eyes with a faint green glow.
The narrow passage was blocked by Xie Mingchi's towering figure. Hua Shi lost her footing due to the force and fell to the ground. When she looked up, she saw Xie Mingchi standing in front of her. Through the gap between his arms and legs, she could see a tiger charging towards her with its bloody mouth agape and sticky saliva dripping from its sharp fangs...
“Roar, roar, roar!!”
Looking at Xie Mingchi who was blocking his way, the tiger growled at him twice impatiently, and his green gaze fell on Hua Shi who was blocked behind him.
"Ashi, you go first..." Xie Mingchi rolled up his sleeves and whispered to Hua Shi without turning his head.
Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be planning to fight the tiger with his bare hands...
After the escape just now, the originally crowded crowd had disappeared without a trace.
There are several long corridors here. I had been following Xie Mingchi forward and didn't pay attention to my surroundings. Now I looked up and looked behind me, and I saw a short corridor not far away. It looked familiar and similar to the entrance of the black market. This was obviously the direction of the exit.
Seeing the tiger catching up, Xie Mingchi had to make a choice. He stayed behind to block the tiger and let Hua Shi go first...
“Roar--!!”
The tiger, who had already been stimulated to the critical point by the blood and the cheering in the ring, now had his "prey" right in front of him, but was intercepted abruptly. The tiger seemed very anxious and impatient.
Its sharp claws rubbed against the ground, making a series of harsh sounds. It arched its back, exerted force with its hind legs, and was about to pounce on Xie Mingchi.
Xie Mingchi took a sumo stance, frowned, pursed his lips, and was obviously ready to fight with the tiger.
At the moment the tiger pounced, Hua Shi reached out, grabbed Xie Mingchi's arm, and pulled him back. The narrow exit was exposed, and the tiger did not stop its pounce and squeezed in.
Xie Mingchi was caught off guard by this move, and the two of them were almost cornered by this huge tiger...
A trace of surprise flashed across Xie Mingchi's face, and he was stunned for a moment, "Ashi..."
Obviously, now was not the time to talk. The tiger was sharpening its claws and gradually approaching the two of them...
"I'll do it..." Hua Shi stood out from behind Xie Mingchi, gave Xie Mingchi a soothing look, and took two steps forward.
Xie Mingchi subconsciously grabbed her sleeve, trying to stop her, "Ashi, you..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Hua Shi extending a hand towards Tiger and offering it to him with a soothing gesture.
The tiger, which was originally so agitated that it wanted to bite people, took a shallow breath, as if looking for some smell in the air. Its anxiety was visible to the naked eye, but the moment Hua Shi extended her hand, it miraculously... calmed down.
Xie Mingchi was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses. He still stared at the tiger vigilantly, his gaze shifting back and forth between the man and the tiger.
Hua Shi held her breath, and when she saw that the tiger was calmed down, she took a bold step forward and took two more steps. When she was less than a palm's distance away from the tiger's head, the tiger's green gaze moved from her face to the palm of her hand.
No one knew that after smelling the rich fragrance, the tiger, which had been irritated by the smell of blood, instantly calmed down...
So, when Hua Shi's hand touched the tiger's slightly raised chin, it lowered its head and allowed the slender and fragile hands to touch it without any intention of resisting.
She has a very fragrant... very fragrant smell...
This was the only thought that came to Tiger Hun's mind.
The smell was pleasant... My stomach, which had been ravenously hungry, and the overwhelming desire to tear its prey apart, instantly subsided, and the burning wound beneath its fur seemed to have lost its touch...
The tiger lowered his eyes in confusion and glanced at Hua Shi.
It can't express its inner thoughts and ideas, but there is no doubt that it likes it very much...
Hua Shi gently touched the hair on the tiger's chin. The tiger, which was purring in its throat, just lowered its head and glanced at her calmly with its animal eyes, showing no resistance or aggression.
Her heart, which had been so tense, relaxed a little...
Fortunately... Fortunately it works.
"Do you understand me? Now sit down nicely. Only obedient children will be rewarded."
Hua Shi spoke slowly, using the same tone as the black cat and white fox at home, gently and soothingly.
“Ah…”
The tiger let out a low roar, and the sound seemed to come from its nose.
Compared to the deafening tiger roar before, this low growl sounded more like the howl made when acting coquettishly.
Xie Mingchi paused, "Ashi..."
