Chapter 491: Chapter 492: Encountering a Roadblock

At this moment, the people of the Chen Family had already ventured into the mountains, accompanied by several robust young men from the commune.

They had heard the news and voluntarily offered to help.

The people of the mountain hollow were very hostile, and they were worried that if they didn’t bring enough people, the others wouldn’t release their captives.

Dabai was striding proudly at the front, guiding the way. His coat was glistening and gleaming, making him appear exceptionally majestic.

However, he maintained quite a distance from the group.

"Why has Dabai run so far ahead? Everyone, stay close and keep a keen eye on your surroundings," Chen Jianguo whispered cautionary advises, afraid of losing track.

Since they didn’t know the way around the mountains, getting lost would be disastrous.

Upon entering the mountains, the group grew extremely tense, clutching their hoes and other weapons tightly in their hands.

They carefully and meticulously made their way, hearts filled with trepidation.

Looking around cautiously, they dreaded that a man-eating beast might suddenly leap out from the bushes by the roadside.

Only the elderly couple, who had traveled across the mountains with Helian Qiao and had seen her scare even tigers and bears into fainting, as well as Chen Jianjun, remained calm and composed.

With Guibao, the Little Divine Dragon with them, they were not the least bit worried about wolves, tigers, or leopards.

Especially, Chen Jianjun, a former soldier, was both cool-headed and imposing, making the rest feel a sense of great trust and relief.

As for Helian Qiao, she used her short legs to speed along rapidly, leading the group from the front.

Seeing this, everyone else silently admired the young girl’s courage. It was truly something!

Even a ten-year-old boy might not be as brave!

"Roar!"

As they were halfway up the mountain, all of a sudden, a deafening cry reverberated across the forest.

A tiger was spotted standing on a rock twenty meters away, growling menacingly at the group, its mouth wide open.

It was muscular, with a huge body, its enormous claws pressing against the body of a headless Plum Deer, from which blood was pooled on the ground.

Its sharp, blood-stained fangs glinting coldly in its mouth, and when the wind blew, it seemed as if they could smell the stench of blood emanating from the tiger’s body.

It was a, a tiger!

Upon seeing the blood-covered tiger, no one dared to act rashly.

Considering the tiger’s speed and strength, at such a short distance, even if they were to run, they would not be able to outrun the tiger!

With only a few steps taken, they would be caught and killed by it.

Moreover, they had two elderly people and a child with them at the moment.

Luckily, they were prepared for any encounter with wild beasts. Although they were afraid, they still began raising their weapons in alert.

Simultaneously, they secretly hoped in their hearts that, since the tiger had already eaten its meal, it wouldn’t want to eat them too!

The surroundings instantly fell silent, as if the entire mountain forest contained only them and the tiger, locked in a standoff.

"Gulp!" Chen Jianguo couldn’t help but swallow in fear.

He was not sure whether to run or fight, which made him feel even more uneasy.

The journey so far had been smooth, so he had assumed that their good luck would continue. But that was not to be.

Chen Jiandang also held his breath, fearing that even the slightest sound would alarm the tiger.

They had the advantage of numbers, but confronting a tiger, particularly one that was desperate with hunger in the winter, was a challenge they were not sure they would be able to handle.

Chen Jianye was so frightened that he retreated two steps, instinctively wanting to run but Chen Jianjun stopped him in a low voice, "Don’t move! The more you move, the more likely the tiger will notice you!"

Indeed, as he predicted, the tiger shifted its gaze toward Chen Jianye, its ferocious and bloodthirsty look almost frightened him to the point of wetting himself.

For Chen Jianmin, it was his first time getting such a close look at a tiger, and he was so scared that his legs began to wobble. Only through sheer willpower could he remain standing.
