Chapter 35: Two Tigers on One Mountain (2/10)

Dawn arrived, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, scattering across the ground.

Mrs. Zeng and others woke up after a night's sleep and quickly discovered the white tiger with hanging eyes bound tightly.

The living big tiger made the group of children at home both excited and scared.

Yuan Bao woke up and also saw the big tiger.

Then she heard the entire process of how the big tiger was captured alive, and she was truly shocked!

Wu Song fighting a tiger pales in comparison to this!

Of course, what Yuan Bao was most impressed with was that her uncle was truly brave to tackle a tiger.

Knocking over a fierce tiger with sheer force was one thing, but daring to lock its throat and succeeding was quite another.

Yuan Bao wondered if, without the help of others, her uncle could actually strangle the tiger to death.

It seemed likely that he would.

After all, in the life-and-death moments of survival, when adrenaline surges, extreme potential can be unleashed.

A big tiger captured alive made everyone in the Yuan Family full of happy anticipation for future life.

Breakfast consisted of porridge with dry food and jerky; since they were about to leave the mountain and carry the big tiger, Mrs. Zeng generously prepared a hearty breakfast, and everyone ate to their fill.

Though the taste was mediocre, being able to eat to fullness on this escape journey was the greatest happiness.

After breakfast, they abandoned some unnecessary luggage, and the family set off again.

Yuan Pandi and Yuan Zhaodi led the way; Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi, besides carrying some luggage, found a stick to help carry the big tiger.

Yuan Bao was held by her mother, Mrs. Xiao Li, while her brother, who hadn't learned to speak yet, was carried on the back by her aunt, Mrs. Li.

Incidentally, Yuan Bao's brother was quite incredible; he could be held or carried by anyone without ever fussing, being even more obedient than Yuan Bao, seemingly not like a typical child.

Of course, Yuan Bao's brother was an ordinary little child, because even now, he still wets the bed.

The group walked slowly.

On one hand, the mountain paths were difficult to navigate, and on the other, there was much baggage.

As for Yuan Bao's group of cousins, each was as agile as a monkey; roaming between the mountains and forests, they couldn't help much, but certainly wouldn't hold back the journey.

"Stop!"

Just as the group was about to leave this mountain forest, Yuan Pandi, who was leading the way, suddenly called out.

The next moment, from the grass ahead of Yuan Pandi and Yuan Zhaodi, another tiger slowly emerged.

This tiger was smaller in size than the one they captured alive last night, but although it was smaller, it was still a tiger.

"Dad! Second Brother, Third Brother!"

"Tiger!"

Yuan Pandi immediately called for help.

At this moment, their situation was not like last night.

Last night, they had the presence of a campfire around them, which posed some intimidation to the tiger. Most importantly, last night, they had certain geographical advantages.

But now, the fierce tiger blocked the path, and they were on a narrow trail, forced to face the tiger head-on.

"Could this be a female tiger?"

Looking at the slightly smaller tiger in front, Old Yuan's expression was extremely serious.

It is said that "two tigers cannot inhabit the same mountain unless they are male and female."

The tiger they captured alive last night was a male, and the one appearing now was likely a female in nine out of ten chances.

"Roar—"

The female tiger looked at Old Yuan and the others, let out a roar but did not immediately attack.

Meanwhile, the big tiger that Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi had dropped to the ground also began to struggle upon hearing the roar of this tiger.
