460: Found the cave.

"Roar."

"Roar."

The sound of tigers rang out again in the mountain forest not far away. They could only hear the tigers' roars, but could not see where the tigers were.

Some of the cowardly ones were so scared that they were about to wet their pants.

The Leading Boss walked in front, the other two people with weapons brought up the rear, and the remaining wounded walked in the middle as they climbed up the mountain.

"It's getting dark, let's speed up."

The Leading Boss said in a serious tone.

"We will rest once we reach that cave. If we stop, we might get eaten by the tigers..."

Hearing the Leading Boss's words, no matter how painful their injuries were, they dared not stop in order to save their lives. They endured the intense pain and climbed up the mountain quickly.

"Sister Xiao, they are climbing up the mountain from over there. Are they trying to go to the cave above?"

Xiao Niannian nodded.

"You are right, they are indeed trying to go to the cave above."

"That's great."

Shen Yan thought about the traps they had set earlier. When these people walked over there in a while, what they would encounter first would not be the tigers, but the traps they had made.

The Leading Boss held binoculars and looked around. From yesterday until today, he had been feeling uneasy, as if a pair of eyes had been watching them the whole time. However, he searched for a long time but did not see those people.

He remembered the four people Nickname had mentioned earlier.

"Nickname, you said you saw four people. What did they look like?"

Could it be that those four people were from the village, had been living on this mountain all along, and that these tigers were raised by them?

Otherwise, why wouldn't these tigers go after those four people and only come after them?

"Boss, I really did see them, but I only saw their backs..."

At the time, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. When he wanted to look closer, those figures had already disappeared.

He still doubted whether those four people were even human. If they were human, why hadn't he seen them from yesterday until today?

"Could it be that those four people have already been eaten by the tigers?"

"Could these tigers be raised by Yang Xi?"

"Impossible. If he could raise tigers, he would have killed us long ago."

"Maybe it's because we killed the tiger cubs earlier, and the tigers are holding a grudge..."

As they discussed, they looked around in panic, fearing that they would suddenly see a tiger jump out.

At this moment, if they didn't speak, they would be even more terrified.

Xiao Niannian walked towards the outside of the cave. She had previously discovered a very large ancient tree. The tree was twenty or thirty meters tall and had lush foliage. She could climb up from there and hide to watch everything in the distance, and she could also see the situation inside the cave.

Shen Yan watched his sister walk towards the big tree. He looked on in confusion, and the next second, his mouth opened wide, his face full of shock.

Oh my god, was he seeing things? His sister could climb trees so fast...

How was she like a monkey, scrambling up in a flash? She climbed up in just a few seconds?

He tried to climb the tree as well, but found that his speed was much slower than Sister Xiao's. Sister Xiao was already ten meters up, and the leaves there were blocking the view, so looking from below, one couldn't tell that anyone was there.

"Ding, Camouflage Technique +1."

Xiao Niannian heard the sound in her mind. She had intended to climb the tree yesterday and had carefully examined it.

She knew which position was the best.

Seeing those people climbing the mountain with the tigers chasing behind, Xiao Niannian laughed.

These tigers were not catching up now, but they were roaring from behind from time to time, scaring these people into speeding up.

Watching them get closer and closer to the cave, Xiao Niannian decided to come down from the tree.

Shen Yan saw his sister sliding down quickly, and he hurriedly slid down as well.

"Sister, when we get out, teach me how to climb trees, will you? Your tree climbing is too amazing..."

"Okay."

Lu Jing watched Niannian slide down from the tree. His gaze then shifted to a tree not far away, where a few eagles were perched, calling out.

Xiao Niannian returned to the cave. The distance from here to the top was over ten meters, and she discovered that her hearing was even better now. She could hear the voices of those people.

"Boss, the cave..."

The person speaking was extremely excited, pointing to the cave in front.

"That's great."

"Quick, let's hurry over."

These people were extremely excited. Though they had been exhausted, they now had the strength to walk towards the cave.

"You go forward and check the cave..."

The Leading Boss ordered two of his slightly injured subordinates.

These two subordinates immediately walked forward. They held machetes in their hands. As it was gradually getting dark, they shone their flashlights into the cave.

"Boss, there is nothing in the cave..."

However, the ground was a bit damp. They didn't think much of it and immediately reported to the Boss.

Outside the cave, it was also covered in snow, and nothing unusual could be seen in the surroundings.

"Boss, the cave is safe."

Hearing this, the Leading Boss walked forward with a cold face.

After entering the cave, the Leading Boss used his flashlight to look around. He wanted to see if there were any signs of life inside.

But after looking carefully for a while, he didn't find anything.

The location of this cave was so good, yet Yang Xi didn't come here to live?

Where could Yang Xi be then?

Could it be that he was eaten by the tigers?

Or was it that Yang Xi had been in the shadows, peeping at them, watching them being toyed with by the tigers and his subordinates being killed by the tigers?

Thinking of this, the Leading Boss's hatred for Yang Xi grew even more. If it weren't for Yang Xi, he wouldn't have lost so many subordinates.

Now they hadn't even seen Yang Xi's face.

"Boss, it's bad, Nickname's forehead is burning hot..."

Hearing this, he immediately ordered them.

"Go get some snow and boil some hot water for them to drink..."

"Get the rice cooking."

They only had some dry rations and white rice left; the rest of their supplies had been lost while fleeing.

He was also very hungry now.

Remembering the Wild Chicken and hare used to lure the tigers, his expression turned ugly again.

The tigers weren't lured, but were taken by eagles.

Otherwise, they would be able to eat meat now.

Nickname was in severe pain at this moment and couldn't help but cry out.

"It hurts..."

"It hurts so much..."

Listening to Nickname's cries, the other injured people also felt their own wounds hurting severely.

"Roar..."

Just as the Leading Boss was about to scold them, he heard the tiger's roar.

"The tigers are chasing us."

"Quick, hurry and get the fire started. Once the fire is lit, the tigers will definitely be afraid."

Someone urged the person trying to make fire by drilling wood.

"This firewood is too wet, I am trying..."

"It won't work, it just smokes but won't ignite."
