C22 – Danger!
Despite their massive size, the Swordtooth Tigers were surprisingly nimble and quick. They sprinted through the forest without any hindrance, as if they were unaffected by the dense underbrush.
Even within the trap-laden area, the Swordtooth Tigers seemed to intuitively know where each trap lay, deftly leaping over them time and again!New novel chapters are published on
However, Lee Tian and Green had already sprung most of the traps, leaving only a few smaller ones remaining. Consequently, even when the tigers did trigger a trap, it hardly inflicted any damage.
Lee Tian was fleeing through the outskirts of the forest, directionless and without the luxury of choice. He could do nothing but keep running forward.
Meanwhile, Green moved swiftly through the treetops, keeping a vigilant eye on Lee Tian’s predicament.
Thanks to its vantage point, Green witnessed a startling scene: a band of hunters was also on the move, heading straight toward Lee Tian’s path of escape!
If Lee Tian didn’t alter his route, he was bound to collide with the hunters and end up as an ingredient in their Health Wine.
But how could he possibly change course now?
Crashing heavily into the pit, a jolt of pain shot through him, jarring him awake. The pit was just the right size for his current “little cat” form.
As he landed in the pit, the Swordtooth Tigers outside clashed with the hunter team head-on!
A tense standoff ensued between the humans and the tigers, both sides poised for an imminent showdown.
Meanwhile, Lee Tian, trapped in the pit, overheard the hunters’ conversation.
“Miss Zhou Yuyan, we’ve run into a pack of Swordtooth Tigers! They’re beyond the capabilities of ordinary hunters like us.”
“Miss Zhou Yuyan, our skills are limited; we can’t take you further into the mountains. We should make a quick exit!”
“That’s unacceptable. It’s our young lady’s first hunting foray into the mountains; we can’t return empty-handed. Keep leading the way. These tigers, formidable as they may be, are merely animals. We’ll drive them off!”
“Boss, you can’t just shoo away a pack of Swordtooth Tigers.”
“Enough. We’ll forgo the bounty you’re offering. If you’re not concerned with your own lives, we have families to provide for. Best of luck to you.”
“What do you mean you’re all leaving? If you go, who’s going to guide us into the mountains?”
