459: He lost four of his men.

Hearing the Leading Boss's command, everyone immediately complied.

"Roar."

The roar of a tiger sounded.

Hearing the tiger's roar, the expressions of the crowd were far worse than when they had first heard it; now, everyone was incredibly nervous and panicked.

Before, they only needed to search for Yang Xi's whereabouts, but now, they had to constantly watch their surroundings and guard against tigers leaping out from unknown places.

These two tigers, for some unknown reason, were so cunning, actually being as intelligent as humans.

"These beasts, what did they eat to grow up like this..."

"They are truly too insidious..."

Just as they were cursing, they heard someone screaming in agony not far away.

"Ah."

"Help me..."

This was the sound of the people from the other team.

The Leading Boss's face darkened upon hearing the sound.

"Boss, judging by the sound, they aren't far from us. Should we go save them?"

"Boss, if they are killed by the tigers, then we'll be in trouble too..."

Although these men had committed many bad deeds, some still valued brotherhood.

"No, our men are already injured like this, and we haven't found the cave yet. If we go look for them, we'll also be in danger..."

Two others also objected.

"We can't go over there. If we go, we might not be able to save anyone and might get bitten by the tigers ourselves..."

"Right now, two of our men have leg injuries, one has a shoulder injury, and another has an arm injury..."

The two sides started arguing.

"Stop arguing."

The Leading Boss said angrily.

"Listen carefully and see how far they are from us. If the distance is too great, we won't go help them, but if they are close, we'll go save them..."

"Yes."

While they were discussing, they heard another tiger roar.

Another scream of agony sounded.

The Leading Boss also became somewhat nervous.

"Let's go, we'll take a look."

They walked toward the direction of that team, and after a short walk, they saw three people stumbling and running toward them.

They were about a hundred meters away. The path ahead wasn't very wide, and there was a cliff edge nearby. They saw their teammates running towards them, looking absolutely terrified. What had happened?

"Roar."

The next second, they saw a tiger flash out from the hillside. The person running in front slipped when he saw the tiger pouncing on him, and he fell off the cliff.

"Ah."

Another person, seeing this scene, desperately tried to climb up, but the branch he grabbed broke, and he tumbled backward. They watched him roll down like a ball.

"Ah..."

"Bang."

They heard the sound of him hitting a tree, and the sound of branches snapping.

"Quickly, go save them."

But when the Leading Boss led his men toward that area, they saw two tigers running out.

"Bang."

A gunshot rang out.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Following several gunshots, one bullet hit the back of one of the tigers, instantly enraging it.

"Roar."

The tiger pounced toward the man. The man fired again but missed the tiger. The next second, he was pinned to the ground by the tiger.

His pistol also fell to the ground.

"Bang."

Another person also fired a shot.

"Ah."

This man was viciously bitten by the tiger, and he was in so much pain he nearly fainted.

Another scream of agony.

His arm was actually broken.

Blood splattered everywhere. The tiger took another fierce bite, and the man instantly passed out.

"Bang."

The Leading Boss also shot at the tiger, but the tiger instantly leaped away. Several consecutive shots missed both tigers, but another fleeing subordinate was hit in the leg by a bullet and fell to the ground.

Out of six subordinates, two fell off the cliff, one was bitten to death, and there were three remaining. The injuries of these three were also very serious.

The hand of the other man who held a gun was trembling.

They hadn't expected the tigers to be so formidable now. He was terrified and full of regret.

"Bang."

He dared not stay any longer and ignored the others. He ran toward the Leading Boss's direction.

"Boss, quickly save us..."

These tigers were too sinister. He had never encountered such powerful tigers in his life. These tigers actually knew how to 'sound the east and strike the west,' and they knew how to defeat them one by one... What kind of tigers were these? Their intelligence was comparable to humans.

He sprinted wildly, ignoring the pain in his leg. He only knew that if he stopped, the tigers would kill him. If he rendezvoused with the Boss and the others, he would live.

Who doesn't want to live?

Not far away, Xiao Niannian held binoculars and watched the entire scene unfold. These tigers were indeed very clever, and these villains deserved what they got.

Seeing the tigers dodging the bullets and biting the injured people on the ground—after the tigers bit their legs, walking caused them intense pain.

"These tigers are really smart."

Shen Yan's voice sounded beside her.

When Shen Yan heard the tiger's roar just now, he had also picked up binoculars to watch. He hadn't expected these tigers to be so intelligent.

Thinking of the bad deeds these men had committed, Shen Yan felt that they deserved to die.

"Boss, I heard the villagers down the mountain say that there is a cave up here, and some of them previously dug up ginseng on this mountain..."

Another injured man ran over and shouted to the Boss.

Hearing this, the Leading Boss raised his head and looked toward the mountaintop not far away.

The mountain was densely forested; looking up like this, they couldn't see anything.

"Let's go, we'll head up the mountain first."

"Boss, what about them..."

Someone looked toward the men lying on the ground not far away.

They could still hear someone shouting for help from the nearby cliff.

"We can't worry about them now. We need to figure out how to protect ourselves first, and then figure out how to deal with the tigers."

They had fired so many shots, hitting the tigers only a few times, but the tigers were still incredibly fierce, and they had already lost four subordinates.

The Leading Boss's expression was extremely grim. They had to go up the mountain now to see if they could find that cave, survive the night, and then descend the mountain when dawn broke tomorrow.

"Wait, I'll give you some poison. Smear it on some meat and throw it out..."

He hadn't brought much of this poison; he originally intended to use it to poison Yang Xi.

Now, they could only use it to smear on prey. If the tigers ate it, they could poison them.

"Boss, these tigers are strange, too sinister..."

The Leading Boss knew these tigers were strange, but no matter how strange they were, they had to find a cave to hide in first, otherwise, they might all die here.

"We retreat first. If the tigers chase us, find a way to kill one..."

"Understood."
