In times of chaos and famine, I traded one pound of rice for two royal flushes.

Chu Wu's hair suddenly stood on end!

He immediately grabbed the short gun lying beside him, quietly pulled his legs back, and lay prone on the ground, cautiously peering down at the base of the stone pillar.

Having seen what was below, Chu Wu immediately lowered his body even further and nudged Qin Shaolang's leg with his foot.

Qin Shaolang glanced back and saw that Chu Wu was so wary. He immediately pressed down on the sword at his waist and also reached for the stone pillar, looking in the direction Chu Wu was pointing.

They saw a large white-browed tiger carefully sniffing along the path they had come from, looking around as if searching for something.

broken!

This guy is coming for us.

A bead of cold sweat suddenly appeared on Qin Shaolang's forehead.

Fortunately, the stone pillar was located at a high point. It took them a lot of effort to climb it, and they even had to cut down two trees to make a ladder before they could get up.

The white-browed tiger is quite large; it can't jump up, and the two trees can't support its weight. For now, it's safe.

Judging from the surrounding environment, even when it was just lying down, its huge head could reach up to its own shoulder.

If it stands up, the sense of oppression will be immense!

"Damn, are all these beasts this clever?"

Qin Shaolang never expected that the white-browed tiger would discover their movements first, but instead of launching a sneak attack, it came here to cut off their retreat!

Even if you said it had cultivated itself into a spirit, Qin Shaolang would believe it!

The white-browed tiger circled the stone pillar several times, but still couldn't find a way to climb it. Finally, it urinated on a tree and then swaggered away.

Chu Wu lowered his voice so much that he had to lean close to Qin Shaolang's ear before he dared to speak.

"Brother Qin, what's the next step?"

The white-browed tiger was enormous, far exceeding Chu Wu's initial expectations.

He wasn't confident he could withstand a one-on-one fight.

"It seems the rumor was true; the soldiers suffered a great loss when they surrounded and hunted down this tiger."

Qin Shaolang nodded slightly.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a cunning tiger.

If they hadn't chosen the right high ground today, they would have been forced to serve as Er Mazi's vanguard.

"No rush, let's observe for a while and then see."

Qin Shaolang's voice was very low.

During his military training, he was exceptionally patient, sometimes lying in hiding for days and nights at a time.

Given how cunning this tiger is, Qin Shaolang doesn't believe it will leave so easily.

After all, it's still early!

It has enough time to test the waters.

After about fifteen minutes, as the two waited patiently, the white-browed tiger reappeared in their sight. It kept its head up the whole time, and even used its claws to knock a rock off, making a little noise.

Qin Shaolang hid on the stone pillar, using the bushes above him for camouflage, and remained motionless.

Suddenly, the tiger lunged forward, displaying a ferocious posture as if to say, "I've seen you all, and I'm going to jump up and bite you to death in the next second!"

Qin Shaolang reached out and pressed down on Chu Wu.

The stone pillar is very tall; even if it were discovered, it wouldn't be able to jump over it.

Moreover, Qin Shaolang had reason to suspect that the tiger was testing the two of them!

Even after rushing to the base of the stone pillar, the white-browed tiger saw no one attacking it. It circled around the stone pillar again, still puzzled, before disappearing back into the forest.

He's gone.

Qin Shaolang watched the white-browed tiger gradually disappear into the distance through the gaps in the trees, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Chu Wu also breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'd only ever heard that wild beasts were clever, but I never imagined they were this cunning. They've even used military tactics."

Qin Shaolang nodded in deep agreement.

This white-browed tiger broadened his understanding of the large wild animals in the area.

This is a tough nut to crack!

He would never set foot here again unless he had enough manpower to kill the white-browed tiger.

As the two were observing, Chu Wu suddenly frowned.

"Something's not right. It followed the hunters' path."

Qin Shaolang suddenly opened his eyes.

That tiger is really cunning!

When hunters surround their prey, they will naturally choose to approach from downwind to avoid being detected by the wild animals.

Now, the white-browed tiger has also crept up behind the hunters from below!

The area, which the hunters had already thoroughly inspected, was now much less guarded!

"What should we do?"

Qin Shaolang's mind raced with calculations.

Although Er Mazi had some complaints about him, it was still a life, and he couldn't just ignore the lives of more than a dozen innocent hunters because of his conflict with Er Mazi!

However, the two sides were far apart at this moment, and even if he used all his strength, he could not possibly deliver the message against the wind!

Moreover, whether Er Mazi believes it or not is another matter!

"We need to think of a way to get their attention for the white-browed tiger."

Thinking of this, Qin Shaolang took the ox-horn bow from his back and carefully considered it in his mind.

"Although it's headwind, this is a high point at the bottom of the hill, so the distance should be enough."

Chu Wu quickly stood up, picked up his short spear, and looked down at the stone pillar.

The last time he was attacked from both sides by wild boars, he still had some lingering effects on him. Even though he knew that tigers were not social animals, he still had to be wary of attacks from behind.

Judging that the time was about right, Qin Shaolang aimed at Er Mazi and drew the bow with all his might.

"Hopefully, I'll hit the target."

Whoosh!

The arrow soared into the air, tracing a long arc.

Er Mazi and Li Hu had been waiting here for a long time, and Er Mazi was getting a little impatient.

"We've always been able to see it before, what happened today? Could it be that we've been discovered?"

Upon hearing this speculation, Er Mazi immediately shook his head.

"It's just a beast, how could it possibly try to outsmart me?"

state!

The arrow Qin Shaolang shot landed twenty meters behind Er Mazi and embedded itself in the tree trunk.

Er Mazi immediately jumped up and grabbed a bow and arrows.

"Watch your back! Someone's trying to cause trouble! Could it be that bastard Qin Shaolang?!"

Seeing that he had attracted Er Mazi's attention, Qin Shaolang stopped hiding, stood up, aimed his bow and arrow at Er Mazi, and then moved the arrow down a little.

Whoosh!

Another arrow was shot, and this time, it landed thirty meters away from Er Mazi.

Er Mazi, who was already hiding behind the tree, was full of suspicion.

"How did this arrow miss so much?"

Logically speaking, it's normal for the first arrow to miss, as factors like wind speed can have an impact. However, the second arrow should be more accurate; even if it doesn't hit you precisely, it shouldn't be worse than the first arrow.

Whizzing!

Two more arrows fell, this time landing near the second arrow!

Suddenly, a roar rang out from the bushes.

Roar!

A white-browed tiger with an arrow stuck in its shoulder roared and charged toward the hunters' position.

The moment the white-browed tiger appeared, Er Mazi's hair stood on end!

that's it!

Six months ago, it suddenly charged out from the rear of the column, catching the officers and soldiers off guard!

Today is exactly the same as that year!

Being humiliated by the same beast in the same way, the seasoned hunter Er Mazi also lost his temper. He immediately shot an arrow at the beast's face and roared.

"Anyone who doesn't want to die, come closer! Don't fucking stand there, grab your weapons and get over here!"
