Jiang Nian patted the mule's butt with his right hand and drove it into the cave. Then he put his hand on Jiang Yue's forehead, worried about her safety, and said, "Yueyue, do you want to go in and take shelter too?"
Jiang Yue shook her head and asked him to let her go.
She looked back at the few who were running towards her, her expression a little tense. There were so many of them, she was afraid Jiang Nian wouldn't be able to handle them all by himself.
It was the first time Jiang Yue had seen a tiger that was primarily white, with a few black stripes running down its middle and the Chinese character "王" (king) etched on its forehead. It looked quite noble overall. If only there hadn't been a tabby cat crouching on its back...
That one, most definitely, was a tabby cat. Its eyes were round, almond-shaped, and its forehead was marked with markings. Its fur was a dark brown with a hint of grayish-brown, somewhat resembling tiger stripes. Its slightly pointed ears were erected, clearly indicating an aggressive stance.
The inky black snake was as thick as her thigh, five meters long, and had no markings. It was unknown what species it was. It was probably a venomous snake, with its pupils shaped like vertical lines, which was a terrifying sight.
The tiger, snake and cat moved very quickly and soon arrived in front of the cave, five meters away. They bared their fangs at them, staring intently.
Jiang Nian took off his clothes, revealing his solid chest.
Kitten: So humans take off their clothes before fighting? Is it some kind of ritual? Seems pretty impressive! I've learned that!
The next second, the man turned into a wolf, which was even bigger than the white tiger!
A few of them were startled. They didn't expect that the other party was also an orc, and they all took two steps back.
Jiang Nian jumped onto a large rock nearby, half-crouched down, raised his head, and cried out, "Ah—"
The cry almost shook the entire mountain range.
Several refugee families who were still quarreling on the top of Tianxia Mountain heard the earth-shaking roar of wild beasts. Their faces turned pale and they dared not make any more noise.
"This, this! Just now it was the roar of a tiger, and now it's the howling of a wolf. Are there so many ferocious beasts in this mountain?"
"Not only beasts, but also goblins! Oh my God, what kind of world is this now?"
"Oh my god, we've lived on this mountain for so long, running around looking for food every day, and we didn't find anything. Thank goodness everyone is so lucky..."
These words made both Zhang and Shitou's families roll their eyes.
From now on, they might not even dare to go out together to find food...
On the other side, the white fox, who was looking for prey sadly, finally crouched down on a mountain mouse, but was scared away by the roar of a tiger.
She looked puzzled. The roar sounded very angry. Apart from the time when the hunter's family died because of her, this was the first time she had heard the white tiger roar like this.
A moment later, another deep wolf howl was heard. The white fox shuddered. Could it be that the white tiger was fighting with that person? She gritted her teeth, stopped looking for prey, and scurried down the mountain.
......
The kitten jumped onto a tree to avoid the battlefield, knowing that he was no match for his opponent.
Jiang Nian bared his fangs and pounced on the white tiger, pinning him under him.
The white tiger swung its front paw upwards.
Jiang Nian dodged, and Baihu seized the opportunity to roll to the side and escape from his shackles.
A wolf and a tiger confronted each other, and the atmosphere became tense.
"hiss--"
The black snake stuck out its tongue and pounced towards the lone Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue had previously knocked out a poisonous snake with a pig's head on the mountain in Jiangjia Village, so it was naturally impossible for him to repeat the same trick now.
This snake is not the little snake before, and she is no longer the unarmed Jiang Yue before.
She bent her waist back, held the knife in her right hand, and slashed upwards, easily cutting the black snake's tail.
In an instant, the two people switched positions.
“Hiss—”
Seeing the blood, the black snake seemed to become even more arrogant. Its long tail was like a whip, lashing at her.
Jiang Yue blocked with a knife, but the black snake seemed to have anticipated it. It slightly changed direction in mid-air, slowed down, and tightly wrapped around Jiang Yue's hand and the knife handle.
For snakes, besides venom, their greatest strengths are nothing more than speed and strength. Jiang Yue's right hand was paralyzed and unable to move.
The black snake, triumphant, opened its maw again and lunged at her. No matter which part of its body it targeted, as long as the venom was injected into it, she would surely die.
The black snake was getting closer and closer to her. Jiang Yue curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled silently.
The black snake realized that something was wrong and wanted to retreat but it was already impossible.
Jiang Yue's empty left hand suddenly revealed another sharp knife, identical to the one in her right. With all her might, she swung it towards the snake's head.
The black snake was shocked, but she could not retreat and could only tilt her head.
Although Jiang Yue did not chop off her head, that one blow was enough for the black snake to let go of her hand.
The black snake was seriously injured and dared not act rashly, so it quietly hid in the corner.
Jiang Yue rubbed his numb right hand, lowered his head, and stared coldly at the tabby cat that was crawling quietly on the ground.
Kitten: "Look~"
Seems like he wants to please others.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yue has never had any special feelings towards cats and dogs since she was a child.
She knew that a tabby cat in the wild was as wild and difficult to tame as a tiger cub.
The kitten hissed, revealing its sharp claws, and bent its hind legs as if wanting to pounce.
"Meow!" he screamed. It turned out that the cat's head was pressed to the ground by a big wolf's claw.
Jiang Yue sneered, then with a malicious look, she used a knife to cut his nails until they were bare.
Kitten: It’s over. How can I fight a beast without a weapon?
Jiang Nian let go of the cat, walked closer and licked her face.
Jiang Yue looked behind him and saw that the white tiger was covered in wounds. Three scratches on its back were so deep that the bones could be seen. It had been hit hard. It was lying on the ground, gasping for breath, unable to move.
Jiang Yue checked him up and down, and found that Jiang Nian was not seriously injured except for a few tufts of hair that had fallen off and a few inconspicuous scratches.
The kitten looked to the left and saw his sister was badly injured; to the right, he saw his brother was also seriously injured. He was in a dilemma and had no choice but to lie on the ground, meowing softly, begging for mercy from both of them.
If Jiang Yue knew that these three once dreamed of "overthrowing human rule, occupying human territory, and enjoying human service," she would definitely laugh. What is this now? Their business was halfway through and they collapsed midway...
She touched Jiang Nian's soft ears and asked, "Shall we go into the cave and take a look?"
See if there is any treasure inside.
As for these three, Jiang Yue glanced at them and thought, forget it, just do some good deeds and don't take their lives. It's not easy to become a spirit.
The kitten struggled to pull its sister to its brother. The three of them huddled together, shivering and not daring to speak.
