Chapter 191 Clumsy Actions
Throughout the process, she tried her best not to make a sound, but her slight panting and the occasional tension in her body due to pain still betrayed her endurance.
The man not far away moved.
Silver Tiger sat in the darkness, the light of the campfire only outlining his vague yet tall silhouette.
His gaze, without him noticing, had shifted from the fire to her arm being bandaged.
The firelight danced in her eyes, illuminating his unfathomable pupils.
He simply watched, without moving or speaking, like a most silent bystander.
But that focus was like an invisible net, enveloping the small space inside the cave.
After treating her wounds, Yueqing felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her.
She leaned against the stone wall, watching her two children sleeping soundly together, her heart filled with an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
No matter what the future holds, at least for now, they are here.
The night grew deeper and deeper.
The campfire gradually died down, leaving only a few dark red embers flickering.
Just as all was quiet, Silver Tiger, who had been sitting still, stood up without warning.
His movement to rise was silent, like a ghost hunting in the night, but Yueqing was still instantly awakened. She opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Yin Hu's eyes, which shone astonishingly bright in the darkness.
Those eyes no longer held confusion and coldness, but rather a kind of extremely dangerous vigilance she had never seen before.
He didn't even look at her; instead, he was listening intently to something, his nostrils twitching as if trying to discern some special message in the air.
The next second, he took long strides and silently walked to the cave entrance.
Its tall and imposing body, like an indestructible city wall, completely blocked the only exit and shut out all the moonlight.
In an instant, his entire demeanor changed.
That divine, aloof coldness, like ice cracking, releases a dangerous aura that is extremely oppressive, violent, and fierce.
That's the true aura of an SSS-level Tiger Clan warrior.
Yueqing's heart sank suddenly.
Danger!
Only those two words remained in her mind.
But this fear did not come from the silver tiger in front of him, but from the unknown presence outside the cave.
Her first reaction was not to run away, but to crawl to the children on all fours, stretch out her arms, and hold the two small bodies tightly in her arms.
After doing all this, she finally raised her head and nervously looked at the mountain-like, reliable figure at the cave entrance.
Outside the cave, the rustling sound grew closer.
Using the faint light that peeked in from the side of the silver tiger, Yueqing saw three pairs of eyes that shimmered with a ghostly green light in the darkness.
It's a wolf!
Three unusually large saber-toothed wolves appeared at the cave entrance.
Their muscles were bulging, their fangs were exposed, greedy saliva dripped from the corners of their mouths, and their eyes gleamed with undisguised bloodlust.
They were clearly attracted by the strong smell of blood and the fresh scent of cubs.
The lead saber-toothed wolf, the largest in size, let out a low, threatening growl as it faced the silver tiger blocking its path inside the cave.
That was a warning, and also a declaration of their hunting rights.
Faced with this blatant provocation, Silver Tiger remained unmoved.
His dark pupils contracted into two deadly vertical lines in the darkness.
He slowly lowered his head, and from deep within his throat, he let out a low, deep roar that seemed to make even the mountains and rocks tremble.
"roar!"
There was not a trace of the indifference that belongs to a god in that voice, only the inviolable majesty and savage killing intent of a top predator.
This is the first time since he lost his memory that he has voluntarily released his power to protect something.
He is no longer a cold, passive deity who accepts everything.
At that moment, he chose to become the protector who stood in front of his family.
A bloody battle is about to break out.
The saber-toothed wolf king misjudged the strength of the creature before him.
It mistook that oppressive aura for a bluff, suddenly arched its back, transformed into a gray lightning bolt, opened its blood-red maw, and lunged straight at the silver tiger's throat.
It was so fast that it was impossible to see clearly.
However, the Silver Tiger was faster.
He didn't even take a step back; in that instant when the bloody wind rushed towards him, he raised his hand.
It's not a human hand.
It was a ferocious tiger claw covered in silvery-white fur, with sharp blades spouting from its fingertips.
Yueqing's heart leaped into her throat. She covered the children's ears tightly, but couldn't block out the crisp, teeth-grinding sound of bones cracking.
"Crack!"
The wolf king's charge came to an abrupt halt.
Its enormous head drooped down at an eerie angle, its massive body held in mid-air by the silver tiger's single hand around its throat. Its limbs twitched weakly twice before it fell completely silent.
Fresh blood dripped down Silver Tiger's arm and fell onto the ground at the cave entrance.
The remaining two saber-toothed wolves were so frightened by this bloody and domineering scene that they froze, let out fearful whimpers, tucked their tails between their legs, and instinctively backed away.
Silver Tiger casually tossed the wolf king's corpse aside, as if discarding a piece of useless trash.
He stepped out of the cave and into the cool moonlight.
The moonlight flowed, casting a layer of cold frost on his long silver hair and broad back.
His body is undergoing some kind of amazing change.
His muscles swelled at a visible speed, his body grew taller, and the ferocious bone spurs belonging to the tiger warrior slowly grew from his shoulder blades and back, gleaming with a cold white light under the moonlight.
That is no longer a god.
That was a being of slaughter, returned from hell.
Fear caused one of the saber-toothed wolves to completely break down. It howled and turned to flee into the dense forest behind it.
But as soon as it turned around, a silver afterimage had already swept up behind it.
The silver tiger's sharp claws, accompanied by a whistling sound as they tore through the air, easily sliced open the back of its neck.
Warm blood spurted out, staining the withered leaves on the ground red.
The last saber-toothed wolf was driven to the brink of despair. It let out a desperate roar and turned to launch a frenzied, suicidal attack on the silver tiger.
There was not a ripple in Yin Hu's dark pupils.
He simply turned to the side, precisely avoiding the deadly fangs, and then swung his palm back, slamming it heavily onto the wolf's head.
"Bang!"
After a dull thud, the world fell completely silent.
Only the thick, pungent smell of blood remained, permeating the cold air.
Silver Tiger stood between three wolf corpses, his ferocious beastly aura still lingering.
He slowly turned around and looked into the cave.
His gaze pierced through the dim firelight and precisely locked onto Yueqing, who was huddled in the corner.
Those eyes, gleaming with a wild, bloodthirsty light, no longer held the confusion and indifference of before, only the purest, predator-like scrutiny.
He looked at her, then at the two children she was tightly protecting in her arms.
A drop of wolf blood dripped down his chin.
He raised his hand and, with the back of his hand, very slowly wiped the blood from his face.
His movements carried an unfamiliar clumsiness that he himself was unaware of.
