655: 653 Chapter Complaints 655: 653 Chapter Complaints On the outskirts of the mountain, the journey had been fairly manageable because there were paths to follow and the terrain was not particularly difficult.

But as they entered the central region, the experts, as well as Wang Ping and the others who were transporting the tiger, began to show signs of strain.

“Chen Yang, my young friend, shall we sit down and rest for a while?

We’ve all covered a considerable distance and are quite tired,” suggested an expert just after passing through the border area.

Chen Yang, hearing the voice, stopped in his tracks and turned to look back.

Seeing them all drenched in sweat and gasping for air, Chen Yang nodded, “Let’s rest for a while then.

We have now entered the deeper parts of the mountain, and the path ahead will only get more difficult.

Prepare yourselves mentally for that.”

With that, Chen Yang found a rock, wiped off the dirt, and sat down on it.

The experts and Wang Ping, seeing this, also began to look for places around them to sit and rest.

While resting, the experts naturally engaged in conversation with Chen Yang, inquiring about suitable locations within the mountain for releasing the tiger.

Although they were experts, they had no knowledge of the mountain’s interior and naturally sought Chen Yang’s opinion.

Chen Yang took a sip of water and replied, “To prevent this fellow from wandering out again, I think it’s best to take it as deep into the mountain as possible.

That way, the villagers will be safe, and the tiger’s food supply will be secured.”

Upon hearing this, the experts all nodded and then asked, “Which location do you think is suitable?

How much longer do we need to go before we get there?”

Hearing this, Chen Yang fell silent for a moment as he recalled his previous trips into the mountain to consider if there were any suitable spots for releasing the animal.

After a thoughtful pause, Chen Yang did think of a place.

“Given our current pace, it will probably take another two hours to reach there,” said Chen Yang, his gaze unintentionally drifting towards where Wang Ping and the others were resting.

“However, seeing how tired they all are, our pace will definitely slow down, so it will likely take at least three hours.”

“Three hours?” Some of the experts were taken aback.

They immediately regretted joining the expedition; if they’d known it was going to be like this, why not just have Wang Ping and others come with Chen Yang?

But mentioning it now was useless; surely they couldn’t turn back halfway.

Watching the experts with their varied expressions, Chen Yang almost wanted to laugh, but in the end, he held it in and did not let out a chuckle.

After resting for about ten to twenty minutes and feeling that it was enough, they continued on their way.

After entering deeper into the mountain, the path became even more challenging; in some places, there were no trails at all, just dense thickets of shrubbery.

Passing through such areas was already tough.

Wang Ping and his group also had to carry a metal box weighing over a thousand pounds, which made the difficulty even more obvious.

But to Chen Yang’s surprise, Wang Ping and his team proved to be quite capable, enduring the arduous path without giving up.

“Chen Yang, how much farther is it?” Wang Ping asked, lifting his head with difficulty to look at Chen Yang ahead.

“Not much longer.

At this pace, one more hour should be enough,” Chen Yang replied calmly.

Hearing this, Wang Ping’s expression changed slightly, but he said nothing.

However, others started to complain.

“How can it still be an hour?

Do you think our strength comes for free?

It seems we’re close enough already.

Why not just find any place nearby and release it?”

Hearing someone behind him grumbling, Chen Yang stopped, turned around, and glanced back, “This is a tiger, not some small animal.

If we don’t take it deep enough, it might still escape and harm people, so let’s just persist a little longer.”

Chen Yang’s words were pragmatic and had no other implications.

But upon hearing them, the one who complained immediately took them in another way.

“You stand there talking without a backache, eh?

Think it’s just a matter of enduring?

This thing weighs over a thousand pounds, plus we’re taking this kind of path.

Do you think it’s a piece of cake?” the man complaining loudly said.

After Chen Yang had said those words, he had intended to keep moving forward.

But the man’s complaint made him very upset, so he stopped in his tracks, staring intently at the complainer.

“What do you mean by that?

Did I ask you to come and carry it?” Chen Yang frowned.

“Humph, is my meaning not clear enough?

I don’t want to carry it anymore; I just want to release it right here,” the complainer said, putting down the iron cage with the tiger inside, clearly intending to quit on the spot.

This action infuriated Chen Yang greatly.

It wasn’t him who had asked the man to carry it; rather, it was they who had asked for his help to lead the way.

How could they act so high and mighty with him?

“Whether you want to carry it or not is up to you, but releasing it here is not an option.

We’ve barely come far; if we release it here, the tiger will definitely head back to the village,” Chen Yang said with a deep frown.

“Please, that’s just scaremongering.

You’re just a smooth talker because you don’t have to lift a finger,” the complainer said with disdain, not taking Chen Yang’s words seriously.

After speaking, he even looked at Wang Ping and said, “Brother Wang, I think we’ve come far enough.

There’s no need to go any deeper.”

Wang Ping, also one of those carrying the iron cage, was not feeling light either after the journey.

So subjectively, he too did not wish to carry on, especially since they had indeed entered deep into the mountains.

Therefore, after hearing these words, he did not immediately express his opinion but looked towards the panting experts.

The four or five experts were all advanced in years.

Although they hadn’t exerted much effort along the way, they were quite exhausted all the same.

“Let’s not argue, everyone has a point.

However, for the sake of safety, I think it’s better to go a little deeper.

Otherwise, if this creature escapes again, it would be troublesome,” one of the experts said.

The experts were well-versed in the habits of tigers and thus strongly agreed with Chen Yang’s point of view, but at the same time, they also sympathized with the complainer.

After all, it had taken great effort to bring such a heavy object this far.

When the complainer heard the experts agreeing, he did not continue to insist on releasing the tiger right there.

However, he was still very dissatisfied with Chen Yang.

“Humph, I understand the reasoning.

I just can’t stand certain people who talk without lifting a finger,” the complainer huffed to express his dissatisfaction.

Wang Ping, fearing the escalation of conflict, quickly rebuked him, “Enough already, keep your comments to yourself.

The man came over to help; what are you doing with this attitude?”

“Brother Wang, it’s just as I said!

He didn’t put in any effort himself, just knows how to talk without any pain.

If he’s so capable, let him try carrying it,” the complainer continued to voice his discontent, even suggesting Chen Yang give it a try.

Originally, Chen Yang did not care to argue, but now that the complainer had spoken out, if he himself did not say something, perhaps everyone would begin to think the same of him.

“You want me to give it a try?

Then if I carry it on my own from here, what will you say?” Chen Yang asked the complainer with a tight frown.

The complainer had been grumbling out of mere dissatisfaction.

Now that Chen Yang had responded to him, he suddenly got spirited.

Standing up with an aggrieved expression, he confronted Chen Yang: “You, carry it on your own from here?

If you can do that, I’ll kneel down and apologize to you, okay?”

“Alright, that’s what you said.”

Since the other party had put it that way, Chen Yang naturally had no reason to refuse.
