"There's a tiger! Run!" someone shouted, trembling.
Village Chief Li instinctively shouted, "Don't panic! There are many of us, we're not afraid even if a tiger comes!"
But in reality, his legs were trembling so badly that he could collapse to his knees at any moment.
"Yu'er, what should we do? You have to think of something!" Old Man Lu stood in front of Jiang Qinyu, but unconsciously relied on her, hoping she could solve their current predicament.
The pressure instantly fell on Jiang Qinyu. After weighing the situation for a moment, Jiang Qinyu shouted to everyone, "Chen Shao, Liu Yazi, Uncle Zhang Cheng and Uncle Er Leng, you guys immediately set up the net to stop the tiger. Everyone else, please take over as arranged before when you were catching the goats!"
Because they needed to reduce the wild goats' fighting ability, Jiang Qinyu told Meng Tianze and Li Dachui to try to take at least three arrows at each goat. Now, all the goats on the grassland were like hedgehogs, on the verge of death, and running away was out of the question. So, their most important task right now was to deal with the tiger.
If they keep thinking about running away, no matter who gets caught by the tiger, they will not fare well. Rather than giving up the initiative to the tiger, they should take advantage of their remaining strength and take down the tiger in one fell swoop!
With Jiang Qinyu's command and the fact that they had just killed dozens of goats, the panic and fear in everyone's hearts disappeared. They took their positions and began to surround the tiger using the same method as when killing wild goats.
"Uncle Meng, Uncle Da Chui, fire the arrows!" As the group got closer and closer to the tiger, Jiang Qinyu shouted to Meng Tianze and Li Da Chui again.
Killing a tiger isn't something you can just do by waiting for it to be caught in a net before shooting it; you have to disrupt its path first to buy Chen Shao and his men time and opportunity.
After a moment of fear, Meng Tianze and Li Dachui regained their composure upon hearing Jiang Qinyu's command and forced themselves to nock and shoot arrows.
Two arrows, one in front and one behind, were shot at the charging tiger. Unfortunately, they missed, but they did change the tiger's course and briefly hinder its charge.
"Big Hammer, shoot it in the belly!" Meng Tianze roared.
Li Dachui roared, "You just wait and see!"
Meng Tianze aimed his arrow at the tiger's eye and released it without hesitation.
The next instant, the tiger was struck by arrows in both its nose and belly!
"We've got it!" Chen Shao suddenly roared, his eyes bloodshot.
The crowd was extremely excited, and cheers resounded through the night sky.
"Quickly, strike while the iron is hot! Kill it!"
The person responsible for securing the large net pressed the two nets firmly to the ground, while the others used a variety of methods.
Some threw large stones, some smashed with hoes, and some chopped with machetes...
A fierce tiger lost its life in such a muddled way.
"We won! We can kill tigers now!"
"Father! If you had come into the mountains with us ten years ago, you wouldn't have been eaten by the tiger!"
"Er Leng, your father can rest in peace now!"
"..."
In an instant, the small grassland was in an uproar.
"My dear niece, how did you manage to think of that so quickly?" Village Chief Li looked at Jiang Qinyu with admiration, wishing he could treat her like his own daughter.
Jiang Qinyu was actually feeling a bit scared at this moment, her lips had turned a little pale, and cold sweat had soaked her hair. She smiled weakly, "I guess this is what you call quick thinking in a crisis. I'm just glad everyone is alright."
Many unexpected things flashed through her mind. What if the tiger had been a little more ferocious, a little more aggressive, a little faster... what if they hadn't caught it in the net?
Fortunately, fate was on her side; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Because of the tiger's presence, no other wild beasts in the area showed up, which made it easier for Jiang Qinyu and her group to collect their prey.
"Hurry up and move all the wild goats outside our cave where we'll spend the night!" Village Chief Li stood on a hillside, directing the crowd with a rather spirited air.
"Uncle Village Chief, I want to lift the tiger!" Chen Shao suddenly shouted.
Liu Yazi followed closely behind, "I want to too!"
Young and spirited, killing a tiger is a big deal for them; they can brag about it for a lifetime. Wouldn't they want to have a good time?
"Hahaha...you two brats, do you still have the strength to lift a tiger?" Village Chief Li laughed and scolded.
Chen Shao patted his chest, "Uncle, don't underestimate me! I'm plenty strong!"
No young man likes to be questioned; he has to succeed even if he can't.
Liu Yazi nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right, I can kill another tiger now!"
"Hahaha... Liu Yazi, aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew? Get your hands off your butt first!" Village Chief Li pointed at Liu Yazi, laughing so hard he bent over.
Liu Yazi blushed with embarrassment. He had accidentally sat down on the ground and pricked his buttock with a sharp stone, and it still hurt.
After laughing, Village Chief Li waved his hand and said, "That tiger must weigh at least three or four hundred pounds. You two lift one end together, and I'll have Lao Meng and Er Leng do the other end."
Liu Erleng's father was killed by a tiger while hunting in the mountains ten years ago. It was a tragedy for their whole family, and Village Chief Li was doing him a favor.
"Alright!" Chen Shao smiled, his eyes crinkling. "Why do I feel like the tiger is bringing us meat, not us snatching food from its mouth?"
Village Chief Li laughed again upon hearing this, "You know what, what you said is quite pleasing to the ear. Say it more often in the future."
"Hahaha……"
This remark drew laughter from everyone, and they worked even harder.
Jiang Qinyu was the only woman present, but everyone treated her with exceptional respect tonight, and no one asked her to do anything, so she remained idle.
Just then, Jiang Qinyu heard a system notification in her mind: [Ding! Mission deadline reminder: There are 30 minutes left to unlock the grain and oil area. Please submit sufficient supplies as soon as possible!]
Upon hearing the warning, Jiang Qinyu broke out in a cold sweat.
Thank goodness, one thing after another happened tonight, and she almost forgot about unlocking the mission.
The next moment, Jiang Qinyu did not hesitate to submit the quest items in her mind.
At the same time, ten bags of grain were missing from the pile in front of the cashier.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have completed the task of unlocking the grain and oil section! The grain and oil section in supermarkets has been unlocked!]
[Mission: Please collect 1,000 liters of water to unlock the seafood area! Mission Progress (0/1000)]
Before Jiang Qinyu could even see the changes in the grain and oil section, she was startled by the system's next task.
One thousand liters of water? And the progress bar shows 0, which means that the water already in the system is not included.
Come to think of it, when she unlocked the grain and oil area before, although there was no notification afterward, the system just deducted the grain she had collected in that cave in Qinggang Mountain.
This system is quite strict; it seems that finding a water source is urgent.
But she wasn't flustered.
Jiang Qinyu immediately opened the quest item map and was immediately alarmed.
