Chapter 33: Tiger's Roar (7/10)

"Don't be careless!"

Yuan Pandi also knew that Yuan Zhaodi was exhausted from the journey, so after hearing Yuan Wangdi's words, she didn't say anything further. Yuan Zhaodi sat down and soon fell completely asleep.

The night grew darker, clouds drifted slowly, occasionally covering the moon.

Gradually, more and more clouds gathered in the sky, becoming thicker, and the weather suddenly turned gloomy.

The wind blew through the forest, rustling softly.

Suddenly, Yuan Pandi, who was keeping watch by the campfire, widened her eyes.

"Second, Third, something's not right!"

With Yuan Pandi's alert, Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi quickly gripped their machetes.

"Fourth, wake up!"

Feeling uneasy, Yuan Pandi called out to Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi, and Yuan Zhaodi was also woken up.

"Big brother, what's up?"

Yuan Zhaodi jolted awake, startled.

Yuan Pandi took a deep breath and said, "I don't know, something feels off!"

"Oh!"

Upon hearing her big brother say something was off, Yuan Pandi instantly became alert, grabbing the wooden spear beside her, fully vigilant.

Before long, Yuan Pandi suddenly bent her bow and shot an arrow.

With this arrow released, a tiger's roar echoed from the forest in the darkness.

The moon, hidden by clouds, suddenly emerged at this moment, illuminating the dark forest.

Among the trees, a fierce tiger with glaring eyes and white forehead was eyeing Yuan Pandi and the others warily from behind the campfire.

The tiger's roar also startled Old Yuan awake.

Old Yuan, upon waking, instinctively grabbed the machete beside him and looked toward the tiger in the forest.

As for the women and children of the Yuan Family, they remained deeply asleep.

After walking all afternoon, they were utterly exhausted, falling asleep the moment they lay down.

Furthermore, they were in deep sleep, not easily disturbed by a single tiger's roar.

"Eldest, shoot!"

"Kill this beast, and once our family reaches Daxia, we'll have money to spend!"

This tiger was a valuable asset, a treasure trove.

As for the big fellow in the forest, securing it would undoubtedly mean a significant fortune.

"Dad, are we really doing this?"

Yuan Pandi, though tempted by the tiger's lucrative reward, knew that dealing with such a large tiger wasn't easy, and a single misstep could lead to being attacked by this beast.

"Do it."

Old Yuan was ruthless, "Fortune is found in danger!"

"Second, Third, be careful and seize any opportunity to strike!"

After advising Yuan Pandi, Old Yuan looked at Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi, urging his most adept sons to prepare themselves.

"Big brother, let's take it down!"

In truth, even if Old Yuan hadn't intended to take on the tiger, Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi would have sought the opportunity later.

Now, their father's word aligned perfectly with their intention.

Yuan Pandi drew her bow again and released an arrow.

This homemade bow and bamboo arrow, with a bamboo tip, lacked the power of a forged iron arrow.

However, Yuan Pandi's shot hit its mark.

Though it didn't inflict significant harm on the tiger, it still provoked the animal.

The tiger, initially planning a stealthy attack, was already irritated by Yuan Pandi's first arrow in the dark, and now, with a second hit, it was outright furious.

Tiger's roar surged again!

The enormous tiger, eyes glowing red, charged straight towards Yuan Pandi.

Although there were five two-legged creatures in its path, to the tiger, Yuan Pandi, who had continuously caused it harm, was undoubtedly the most hateful and the one that needed to be dealt with.
