Chapter 293: Which tiger cub?
Although Xie Xing was somewhat worried about Xie Yuze, her strength was limited, and she had no way to contend with Luo Hanfeng.
The most crucial thing now is to protect the tiger tally.
In this way, not only was her life saved, but the Xie family's life was also saved.
Thinking this, Xie Xing leaned against the wall to stand up and walked towards the outside of the water source.
The air beneath the dark river was chilly. Xie Xing was only wearing a large black cloak given to him by Luo Hanfeng, and his legs were even colder, making him shiver.
Xie Xing pulled his robe tighter around himself, his teeth chattering.
I don't know how much time passed, but finally I saw the light outside.
Xie Xing's eyes lit up, and she quickened her pace as she walked out.
The full moon hung high in the night sky, its cool light shining on the earth. The moment Xie Xing stepped out of the dark river, he looked back and found that it was a cave-like place. If you didn't look carefully, you might think it was a wild animal's den.
The surrounding area was full of tall trees and bushes.
Several red eyes could be faintly seen flickering in the grass.
Xie Xing felt extremely creeped out.
The Xie family's secret passage actually led to a secret passage in the back mountain.
She couldn't help but look back; apart from the cave, all that was behind her were small hills.
Where is this place?
Xie Xing felt a bit of numbness in his feet.
Nighttime is when wild animals are most active. If she were to venture in rashly, she might soon become their prey and be devoured.
But if we stay here, Luo Hanfeng might catch up with us very soon.
Ahead lay wild beasts, behind him stood Luo Hanfeng.
Xie Xing thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and simply walked forward.
Encountering Luo Hanfeng is always a little scarier than encountering a wild beast.
Night, silent.
The cawing of crows echoed from the treetops, reverberating throughout the entire back mountain. Apart from the sounds of nature and Xie Xing's panting footsteps, there was no sign of human life.
Xie Xing was truly on the verge of tears.
"Ouch!"
Just then, the sound of wolves howling came from the back mountain.
Xie Xing's heart skipped a beat.
There are wolves!
She didn't dare to stop and ran forward.
As she ran, the rustling sounds in the grass turned into a violent shaking.
Xie Xing turned his head to look in that direction, but only saw two huge black shadows hidden in the grass.
That kind of physique screams wild animal!
Ruined!
Xie Xing's face turned deathly pale instantly. She suppressed the pain in her chest and ran forward with her head down.
However, human legs can never outrun the four legs of a wild beast. Before long, Xie Xing was surrounded by four wolves.
Xie Xing wrapped her black robe tighter around herself, trembling with fear. She took two steps back warily, looking helplessly at the four wolves.
With her strength, she would struggle to deal with even one wolf, let alone four. That would be a certain death for her.
Xie Xing gripped the tiger tally tightly in his hand.
The four wolves had clearly been hungry for a long time. Their eyes glowed with a faint blue light as they stared at Xie Xing with obvious greed and bloodlust.
"Ouch!"
All that could be heard was a long howl from one of the wolves in the middle, which then pounced on Xie Xing.
Xie Xing hurriedly rolled to the side in a disheveled manner, but he was still no faster than the wolf. His body was hit hard by the wolf's claws, and with a tearing sound, a large piece of Xie Xing's black robe was torn off by the claws.
The claws scratched Xie Xing's arm, leaving three claw marks, and blood gushed out from his arm.
"what!"
Xie Xing cried out in surprise.
The smell of blood clearly excited the four wolves even more.
They surrounded Xie Xing, but instead of immediately biting him to death, they cunningly intended to torture him to death.
One of the wolves even shoved Xie Xing with its paw, making a dangerous gurgling sound in its throat, as if urging Xie Xing to move faster.
Xie Xing: "..."
Kindness is often taken advantage of!
She gritted her teeth, pulled out the hairpin from her hair, and taking advantage of the wolf's relaxed vigilance, plunged it heavily into the wolf's eye.
Then he grabbed a handful of dust and dirt from the ground, threw it into the eyes of the four wolves, quickly got up, and ran away without looking back.
"Ouch!"
The wolf's mournful, pained cry came from behind.
Immediately, the four wolves were enraged and chased after Xie Xing like madmen.
Human legs can hardly outrun wolf legs, let alone four wolves in a fit of extreme rage.
One of the wolves leaped high, placed its two paws on Xie Xing's back, and pounced, forcefully pinning Xie Xing to the ground.
"what!"
Xie Xing was in excruciating pain, and the expression on his face was extremely painful.
She turned her head and met the wolf's eerie gaze. Before she could react, the wolf opened its blood-red mouth and lunged at Xie Xing's nape.
In terror, Xie Xing instinctively buried his head in the ground, closed his eyes, and awaited death.
"Roar!"
Just at this critical moment, a majestic and powerful roar suddenly came from the jungle.
Immediately afterwards, Xie Xing felt a gust of wind beside him, and the next second, his back was released, and the wolf that was pressing down on him was kicked away by something.
Xie Xing's heart had almost stopped, but this sudden change made her heart pound like a drum again.
She looked up in astonishment at the wolf that had been knocked away.
In times like these, who else would help her?
It was a small tiger that wasn't very big.
The tiger wasn't very big; it was even a generation smaller than the wolf that had pinned her down earlier.
But it moved very quickly, powerfully and ruthlessly lowering its head to bite the wolf's neck hard.
One bite, one pull, one tug.
"Pfft!"
In the darkness, under the moonlight, a jet of blood gushed from the wolf's neck like a small fountain, splashing onto the tiger and making it look particularly terrifying.
It pressed its two paws firmly against the wolf's chest, casually spitting out the skin from its mouth. Under the moonlight, its brown pupils looked coldly and terrifyingly towards Xie Xing.
Xie Xing: "..."
Her gaze froze for a moment, then fell on the tiger before she finally recognized it: "It's...it's you?"
When I rescued Jun Lanjin, I bandaged and fed a tiger cub in the cave.
In just over a month, this tiger cub has transformed from its injured and weak state into its current majestic appearance.
The tiger cub snorted, turned its head, and looked coldly at the other three wolves.
The oppressive aura of the king of the jungle was revealed at this moment. Even though the tiger cub did not move and was not even as big as the three wolves, its fierce eyes instantly suppressed the three wolves' momentum.
In fact, it just instantly killed a wolf.
The three-headed wolf hesitated for a moment, then immediately turned and ran away.
Xie Xing took a heavy breath, her hands braced on the ground, feeling an excruciating pain in her chest.
His internal organs, already shattered, were now in excruciating pain with every breath.
