455: These people encountered a tiger.

"Big Brother, why is the tiger's roar getting closer and closer?"

"It's probably just a strong echo in this valley."

"Big Brother is right."

"With so many of us, we don't need to be afraid even if a tiger comes."

Although they were in a cave, it wasn't a large one, and several fires were lit here, producing a lot of smoke.

"Roar..."

Another tiger's roar sounded, and some timid people were already trembling.

"Nickname, what are you shaking for?"

The person nicknamed Nickname immediately denied it upon hearing this.

"I'm not shaking."

But his hands couldn't help but tremble.

They hadn't slept well that night; the tiger's roar sounded every once in a while.

After dawn, these people all looked exhausted. They were annoyed, but the tiger hadn't come over, and they were also afraid in their hearts.

"Big Brother, what should we do now?"

Hearing his subordinate's words, Leading Boss said with a somewhat grim expression.

"Eat the dry rations we brought, and we'll set off immediately."

Hearing these words, everyone took out the dry rations from their backpacks and ate them with water from their flasks, finding them hard to swallow. Some even almost choked.

After eating, they continued their search.

They searched all morning but couldn't find any clues.

"Boss, there are many caves on the opposite mountain. Let's go check out that mountain, or else we can go check out the other mountains..."

"Let's go, take a look."

"First Team, go check the other mountains. If you find anything, shout out..."

They didn't dare to bring a radio this time, fearing discovery.

Although this place was remote, the public security and military might receive radio signals, so unless there was an important matter to contact, the radio was not turned on at other times.

There were six people on that side and eight people on this side, and they walked towards the opposite mountain.

Leading Boss took out binoculars from his backpack.

"Big Brother, what is that thing?"

"These are binoculars, something only high-ranking generals had during wartime..." Leading Boss said proudly.

Hearing this, the younger brothers below began to flatter him.

"Big Brother is amazing."

"Big Brother is awesome."

Listening to his subordinates' flattery, Big Brother looked at the opposite side with the binoculars. The opposite side was a vast expanse of white, and some clouds were very close to the mountaintop, so he couldn't see any smoke.

"Let's go to the opposite side first. The snow isn't falling heavily now. If those people walked through, or if Yang Xi is living there, there will be traces..."

They ate steamed buns and bread in the morning. Shen Yan carried many ingredients, and Yang Xi drank porridge for breakfast.

Because he hadn't eaten for a long time and was malnourished, he couldn't eat too much at once; he needed to recuperate first.

Yang Xi looked at these people. He felt much better after the Military Doctor gave him acupuncture; his leg no longer hurt with a throbbing pain like before, and after three doses of medicine, he no longer had a fever.

"comrade, do you plan to stay here indefinitely?"

It was the first time in many days that he had slept so well at night. He now fully believed that these few people were Soldiers. Moreover, they had also taken out herbs and were processing them... He saw all of this.

Lu Jing heard his words and replied.

"It's snowing now, and your leg hasn't recovered, so you can't walk far. Rest here today."

Xiao Niannian walked to the mouth of the cave, holding binoculars and looking around.

She saw birds flying up in one spot.

Last night when she was sleeping, she also heard the tiger's occasional roars, but this did not affect her sleep.

Shen Yan was standing guard at the cave mouth. Seeing Xiao Niannian looking around with binoculars, he also picked up another pair and looked.

"Sister Xiao, did you hear the tiger's roar last night?"

"I did."

"I didn't expect there to be so many tigers in Medicine King Valley. But I still slept very soundly last night."

Shen Yan had climbed the mountain for so long yesterday and exerted himself at the cave mouth for over twenty minutes, so he indeed felt extremely tired last night.

"Sister Xiao, do you think those people will chase after us?"

"Possibly."

The fact that these people could hunt Yang Xi for so long indicates that there are skilled individuals among them who can track traces.

"It's been snowing since yesterday, so those traces have disappeared. Unless they find the cave above, we've already moved everything from the cave above and cleaned up the traces. The grass on top has also covered it, so they definitely won't find us..."

In the morning, he and Brother Lu had already dealt with all the traces.

Even if those people came, they wouldn't discover this cave.

Those people also couldn't fall down here from above like he did.

Listening to Shen Yan's analysis, Xiao Niannian smiled.

After yesterday's events, Shen Yan had matured a lot. He was no longer as reckless as before. However, he still needed more tempering to become even better in the future.

Xiao Niannian heard the cry of an eagle.

She looked up and saw a very large eagle circling overhead.

Xiao Niannian waved at the eagle.

"Come here."

Shen Yan heard Sister Xiao's words and saw Sister Xiao waving at the eagle, and he was completely stunned.

Sister Xiao called the eagle, and the eagle could really come?

But the next second, he really saw the eagle coming.

The eagle landed on Xiao Niannian's arm.

"Go see if there's a group of people heading towards this mountain..."

The eagle nodded and immediately flew away again.

Shen Yan looked at Xiao Niannian in shock.

"Sister Xiao."

"This is my pet eagle."

So that's how it was. He wondered how this eagle could understand Sister Xiao. Yesterday, he heard some bird calls, and he was wondering why these birds kept calling around.

Seeing Shen Yan's easily fooled expression, Xiao Niannian laughed.

Lu Jing looked at this scene and laughed.

"Roar."

Another tiger's roar came from not far away. Xiao Niannian wanted to contact the tiger, but it wasn't appropriate to do so in front of so many people.

Xiao Niannian heard the sound of startled birds not far away, and she guessed that those people might have reached this mountain.

Otherwise, these birds wouldn't be scared into flying away.

"Bang."

Xiao Niannian heard a gunshot.

She looked in the direction of the sound. She heard the tiger's roar and many bird calls.

These people ran into a tiger?

"Roar."

The tiger's roar sounded.

Immediately after, there were shouts.

"There's a tiger."

"Run!"

"Help!"

It looked like it was only a few hundred meters from here.

But the trees in this mountain were very tall, and Xiao Niannian, even with binoculars, couldn't see the specific situation, only vaguely hearing some sounds.

Soon, she heard gunshots again.

Xiao Niannian could tell from the gunshots that they were from two different guns.
