Chapter 105 Missing
The huge tiger roar penetrated the dense branches and leaves in the air and resounded through the sky.
Countless creatures in the forest were frightened by the tiger's roar and fled in all directions. Even Xu Yan and others who were far away heard it.
Cheng Qi looked up, a look of surprise and doubt on his face, and threw the few precious herbs he dug out into his backpack.
He climbed up the hill. There was no one in the open woods, and the ground was covered with patches of freshly unearthed herbs.
Cheng Qi was dumbfounded, "Where are the people?!"
"Ouch~!"
Another tiger roar came, the branches and leaves in the forest rustled, the weeds danced wildly, and the cold wind blew with the whistling sound, adding a bit of eerie fear to the dark forest.
He was in a panic and was about to run when he saw a group of people running towards him not far away.
He recognized the leader, it was General Xu Yan! He was so moved that he almost cried and ran towards Xu Yan.
"Oh, General Xu, where did you go? I was so scared! I thought..."
Cheng Qi's words came to an abrupt end when he saw the person in Xu Yan's arms.
"Miss Zhang!" What's going on? How could Zhang Zhirou be injured like this in just a short while?!
"Hurry, hurry back to the barracks!" Xu Yan shouted, and without stopping, he rushed past Cheng Qi. The gust of wind he brought up almost knocked Cheng Qi down.
He had to return to the barracks as quickly as possible. The tiger's roars were getting more and more violent, and it must have been a fierce conflict with someone!
It must be General Bei and his men! They must have been entangled!
Those tigers must be incredibly powerful, otherwise it wouldn't be possible for the two generals, the Southern and Northern, to join forces and still not be able to resolve the situation. He had to go back and report to General Zhang, then bring a large force to the rescue.
"Carry Doctor Cheng on our backs and return to the camp quickly! Everyone else, bring back the herbs!"
Xu Yan's figure was almost invisible, but his voice could still be heard clearly.
Those herbs on the ground are the purpose of their trip and they cannot be given up easily.
Cheng Qi was hoisted onto the shoulders of a strong and agile soldier. The herbs in his backpack fell out of the basket because he was upside down.
"Ouch! My medicine!" Cheng Qi's eyes turned red and his heart was bleeding.
"Don't worry, Doctor Cheng, someone will take care of it!" The soldier carrying him spoke quickly, without slowing down at all.
Cheng Qi was helpless and in pain. He waved his hands several times before he could hold the two herbs tightly in his hands.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Xu Yan quickly mounted his horse, circled Zhang Zhirou in front of him, and ran towards the camp.
Zhen Li, who had seen off the guard of honor, stood outside the door with a cold look and an imposing aura.
The common people who were watching the excitement were intimidated by the man's majesty and left Biluoyuan one after another, spreading the news of what they had seen and heard.
Later they found out that the person who lived in this magnificent courtyard was the former King Dongli, and the ceremonial guard that came to visit King Dongli was actually the eldest princess's ceremonial guard!
Zhenli looked towards the direction of Mangshan, his eyes moving slightly.
The continuous tiger roars not only scared away the creatures in Mangshan, but also brought about a huge crisis.
A huge creature came out of the dense forest and pushed forward. The big tree in front of it seemed like a small branch under the feet of ordinary humans. It was broken by one step and became a stepping stone.
Beiji finally saw the creature's true appearance, and his expression changed drastically. He mobilized all his internal energy and slammed into the tiger that was entangled with him.
"boom!"
The tiger was knocked out and crashed into a big tree behind it, breaking it in half.
He quickly retreated, and with a casual glance, he saw the giant creature bend down and grab the tiger that Shu He had seriously injured earlier. It pulled hard with both hands, and the tiger let out a tearing roar, and then its body broke in two.
Blood sprayed in the air, swept by the strong wind and turned into a bloody rain.
Shu He raised her head, and a fine rain of blood hit her face and body, but she did not dodge at all, as if she was stupid.
Not only her, but everyone present was stunned and stared at the huge figure of the creature, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
It was a humanoid creature, over ten feet tall, covered in brown hair. When it walked, it was like a moving skyscraper. Its massive head emitted a deep, deafening roar just from breathing.
Looking at the creature's head again, it looked a bit like an ancient caveman. Its huge teeth were no different from those of a human, and its bloody mouth was tearing into the giant tiger's corpse.
The hard tiger bones made a harsh "crunching" sound when bitten by the creature's teeth, which was creepy.
Beiji came to Shuhe and Nanqi, picked up the seriously injured Nanqi, and shouted to everyone, "Run!"
Everyone finally came to their senses, their eyes filled with fear. They immediately helped their injured companions up and stumbled back.
Su Lanzhi also ran to Shu He's side and followed her closely.
Beiji was holding Nanqi in his arms and for a moment he could no longer care about Shu He. He only looked back from time to time to make sure Shu He was still in his sight.
The men ran wildly through the forest, perhaps because they were too small to attract the giant's attention. Just as they were rejoicing, thinking they were about to escape danger, the last tiger came after them.
The roar of a tiger attracted the attention of the giant who had eaten half of the tiger's body.
It threw away the half tiger body in its hand and looked at the living tiger.
The huge tiger body fell from a high altitude and hit the ground hard. The whole forest was shaking, and countless fallen leaves and blood were splashed on the ground.
The giant stretched out his hand and rushed towards the last tiger.
In an instant, all the trees in the forest were knocked down by the huge arm.
A strong wind blew, and the three soldiers running at the end were unfortunately swept by a fallen tree and flew out, their life or death unknown.
Shu He also saw this scene, but she was already too busy to care about anything else. Seeing Su Lanzhi still following her, her eyes changed slightly and she quickened her pace.
Behind him, Su Lanzhi's face was filled with shock and fear, as if she was frightened to death. He followed Shu He closely and didn't notice her abnormality.
Shu He glanced at Su Lanzhi again, turned his head, and a look of suspicion appeared on his face.
The giant failed to catch the tiger the first time, so he reached out to grab it again, but still failed.
It looked angry, its face fierce, and it exhaled heavily, a breath that turned into a strong wind, rustling the leaves. It stomped its foot hard, and the ground shook instantly.
The tiger was shocked and staggered, its body paused for a moment. In that instant, a pair of big hands suddenly attacked and clamped the giant tiger tightly.
The giant tiger struggled and twisted its body continuously, but its huge body was like a kitten in front of the giant. No matter how hard it struggled, it could not break free from those big hands.
"Ouch~!"
The tiger roars sounded again and again. The giant frowned, as if he felt it was a bit noisy, and bit off the tiger's blood vessels and trachea with one bite.
The air was filled with tranquility once again...
Seeing that the tiger in his hand had stopped struggling, the giant relaxed his brows. However, his eyes fell on Beiji, Shuhe and others who were still running.
It tilted its head to look, its eyes showing a mix of curiosity, innocence, and amusement. It stamped its foot again, and the earth trembled. Countless birds and animals panicked and rushed around in the forest.
The running people were shaken to pieces and scattered by the fleeing animals.
Seeing this, the giant showed a hint of joy in his eyes and stomped his foot again.
After the earth shook again, a scream was heard.
"Beiji!"
Beiji looked back and saw no other figures behind him except some animals.
He stopped in his tracks, his pupils dilated, and looked around, but still couldn't see the person who called his name.
“Sheaves!!”
He panicked, his face pale, and shouted towards the chaotic forest behind him.
However, his voice traveled far away, but no human voice could be heard in response...
