Su Ying stepped forward and stopped them. “Wait a minute, Mister.”
The two of them stopped in their tracks. “Quick! Run quickly! There’s a tiger in the mountains eating people!”
“Where is it?”
“Behind! Behind! Just behind!” The two men rushed down the mountain before they had even finished speaking.
Su Ying’s eyes sparkled with the glow of excitement. She had not had the chance to capture a ferocious beast alive since she arrived here.
She took out the tranquilizer gun and walked in the direction they had run down.
The men who were being chased by the tiger ran to a place where Su Ying couldn’t see them and quickly stopped.
The two men’s panicked and fearful expressions turned sinister. “That woman went into the mountains.”
“Mm-hmm.” The other man took out a black box and opened it. A pure black butterfly fluttered out of it and quickly flew down the mountain.
Su Ying walked up the mountain, but she didn’t see any sign of ferocious beasts. She stopped in her tracks, and after making sure that there was no one around, she popped into her interspatial store and took out her detector.
When she turned on the detector, she found that the surroundings were full of red markers. There were so many of them. Could it be a pack of wolves?
Su Ying sniffed in the wind, but she couldn’t detect the unique stench of wild beasts.
She frowned and realized that something was amiss.
She quickly climbed up a big tree and checked the response of the instrument. Those red dots were approaching her.
Soon, the rustling sound of people walking could be heard in the forest.
Su Ying was hidden in the forest, and her eyes widened when she saw those people approaching.
Those people’s movements were stiff. From a distance, their two eyes were blank and their faces were expressionless, just like zombies.
Su Ying frowned. “Dammit. 1 fell for their trap.” She quickly jumped down from the tree, took out a fire grenade, and tossed it in front of that crowd of people.
With a loud boom, those people were instantly blown away.
Su Ying jumped into the interspatial store the moment the fire grenade exploded.
After a while, she emerged from the interspatial store.
She checked the detector’s screen and saw that there were no more red dots moving around.
Those people were obviously controlled by the Venom Cult with venomous bugs. Since the Venom Cult leader knew that she could destroy their strongholds, he couldn’t have sent just these few venomous bug-infected people out to deal with her. They probably only had one purpose, which was to hold her back and not let her go down the mountain.
The veins on Su Ying’s forehead bulged when she thought of the possibility that Xiao Jin and the others were in danger.
Su Ying didn’t dare to waste any time. She turned around and dashed down the mountain.
The sky gradually darkened. Hea Shouyi, Bai Shuang, and the others also started to make a fire to cook.
Now, they had to manage the food for dozens of people, so they practically worked around the kitchen all day.
“Why hasn’t Mother returned after so long?” When they saw that the sky was turning dark, the two little ones started to miss Su Ying. They stared at the courtyard gate with eager eyes.
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the courtyard door. The two little fellows jumped up from their stools and dashed over to open the gate, but they were stopped by Xiao Jin. “Let’s see who it is first.”
The older toddler Ji then hurriedly stopped the younger toddler Ling, who was about to open the gate. He went to get a small stool and climbed on it to check on the situation outside through the peephole.
“Su Ying! Is Su Ying in? Quick, open the gate! Open the gate!” An urgent voice came from outside the gate.
Upon hearing the commotion, Wang Su walked over and asked in an icy voice, “Who’s there?”
“Leader asked me to come here. After Leader took the stuff back, he immediately distributed it to those people to eat. However, something happened to them just now. You guys should go and take a look.”
“What happened?” Wang Su asked.
“Those people suddenly fell to the ground and stopped breathing in the blink of an eye.”
Wang Su looked at Xiao Jin. “Master, could there really be a problem?”
Xiao Jin’s sharply- defined brows knitted tightly. “Ask him to go back first. Mistress will be there soon.”
“Yes, Sir.”
“You go back first. Well be there immediately.”
However, the other party did not leave. “Do you guys know where to go?”
“Tiger Base. We know.”
“Alright.”
Through the peephole, Wang Su saw that person turn around and run away before he closed up the peephole.
“Master, he’s gone. Did something really happen over there?”
“Even if something really happened, there’s nothing we can do even if we go over. Well wait for Mistress to come back first,” Xiao Jin said.
“Yes, Sir.”
The sky was getting darker.
Tiger Might had already distributed all of Su Ying’s medicine today, but he couldn’t be sure if everyone who had been infected by the venomous bug had taken it.
One of his men quickly ran to the door of Tiger Might’s room and said, “Leader, something has happened.”
Tiger Might stood up from his chair immediately. “What happened?”
“After taking Madam Su’s medicine, many people suddenly fell to the ground and stopped breathing totally.”
Tiger Might’s face immediately turned ominous. Su Ying had said that the medicine was effective on those venomous bugs, but she didn’t say that it would kill people. “Let’s go and take a look.”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Big Brother, what happened?” Qiao Yang also came out when he heard the commotion.
Tiger Might replied without turning his head, “Nothing. Someone died. I’m going to take a look.”
“I’ll go with you, Big Brother.”
Tiger Might didn’t refuse Qiao Yang. He took a few men and followed that subordinate to the place he mentioned.
“Where are they?”
They walked to a dark spot and found that the place was pitch-black. There was nothing there at all.
At this point, the expression of the subordinate leading the way suddenly changed, and the dagger in his hand turned to slash at Tiger Might.
Tiger Might was already on his guard when he saw that there was no one around. When the other party’s dagger came slashing at him, he dodged, flipped over, and hopped down the horse. He then smashed a fist in that person’s face.
The man’s neck twisted and he fell to the ground, dead as a doornail.
“This is an ambush. Be on your guard.”
As soon as Tiger Might finished speaking, countless shadows walked out from the darkness.
Their eyes looked blank and their expressions were numb. They were like soulless puppets as they lurched forward to attack Tiger Might.
Qiao Yang’s skin went numb with fear at the sight of so many venomous bug-infected people.
“Good heavens! There are so many venomous bug-infected people!”
Tiger Might had already drawn his large saber. “Brat, you be careful!”
Qiao Yang also quickly pulled out his saber. “I know!”
In the darkness, more and more venomous bug-infected people walked out. They were so densely packed that it made people’s skin crawl.
Xiao Jin was sitting by the fence when he suddenly heard a rustling sound from outside.
“Ling, Ji, go back to the house at once.”
When they saw Xiao Jin’s stern expression, the two little fellows also became afraid and obediently ran back into the house.
It was getting a little cold at night. Aunt Zhao, who had gone to the second floor to get the two little ones their coats, came out of the house and stood in the corridor on the second floor. She looked at the situation outside the courtyard and screamed in fear.
“Aunt Zhao, what’s wrong?” Zhao Neng asked anxiously.
Aunt Zhao’s lips trembled as she pointed outside the courtyard with eyes full of terror.
Zhao Neng ran to the door and looked through the peephole, but he could not see anything except a sea of darkness.
Puzzled, he went to fetch an oil lamp and shone it through the peephole.. He was met with a crimson-red eye!
