"You can go back first. I'll take a walk around!"
Qin Yi didn't explain anything to Jiang Xiongjing. He left a sentence and turned to leave.
Jiang Xiongjing was utterly bewildered.
Qin Yi quickly walked in a direction, which was the direction a few young men and women had walked earlier.
As Qin Yi walked, he listened intently to the sounds around him.
After a while, he heard another faint cry.
Qin Yi immediately recognized this cry as the roar of a tiger!
Qin Yi's gaze sharpened, and he unconsciously quickened his pace.
At this moment, the group of young men and women were hundreds of meters ahead of him.
They were all ordinary people, and their hearing was far inferior to Qin Yi's, so they didn't notice anything unusual and continued to walk into the mountains.
"Those two idiots, trying to scare us by saying there are tigers inside. We've been walking for so long, we haven't even seen a wild rabbit!"
The young man with dyed red hair, walking at the front, cursed.
He turned back and urged his companions, "Can you guys hurry up? You're so slow..."
Seeing the well-behaved, spectacled young man lagging behind the group, he cursed even more, "Guo Jie, are you an old man? Walking so slow, my grandma walks faster than you!"
Guo Jie dared not retort to his foul language. He merely adjusted his glasses and said cautiously, "Brother Jin, perhaps we shouldn't go any further. If, if there are any wild beasts inside, we're finished!"
The red-haired youth walked back and slung an arm around Guo Jie's neck. The latter hunched his body, cooperating with him, not daring to resist at all.
"Guo Jie, were you scared by what those two idiots just said?"
"No, no!"
The red-haired youth continued, "I'm telling you, if you dare to back out without my permission today, I'll show you what happens!"
"Okay, okay..."
Guo Jie nodded repeatedly.
The woman dressed flirtatiously walked back and linked her arm through the red-haired youth's. "Guo Jie, look at you, such a coward. There are so many of us, what are you afraid of!"
"Don't say there's nothing here. Even if there really is a tiger, with so many of us, we don't need to be afraid!"
"Sister Hua is right!"
Another young man chimed in, "If a tiger really appears, I'll show it who's boss!"
"Wang Bin, give it a rest. With your scrawny build, you think you can take down a tiger? You'd be a snack for it, not even enough to fill its teeth!"
"You're talking nonsense..."
Then, the young men continued further into the mountains.
"Roar!"
This time, they had only walked a little over a hundred meters when a tiger's roar suddenly sounded, and they instinctively stopped in their tracks.
In an instant, their faces changed simultaneously.
The next moment, they all saw a tiger, over a meter tall and nearly three meters long, with yellow stripes, emerge from a clump of bushes ahead of them.
The tiger slowly walked out from the bushes, revealing two sharp fangs.
Whether it was because it had just hunted prey, they could still clearly see fresh bloodstains on its fangs.
"T-tiger..."
Wang Bin's face turned as pale as snow, his voice trembling.
The red-haired youth, the flirtatious woman, Guo Jie... at this moment, their bodies shook like sieves, and their fear was palpable.
Especially when they saw the tiger emerge from the bushes and walk directly towards them, the red-haired youth, while trembling, was so scared he wet himself.
Seeing the tiger getting closer and closer, the red-haired youth could no longer hold back. He shoved Guo Jie and the flirtatious woman beside him with his hands.
"Ah..."
Caught off guard, the two stumbled and fell to the ground.
The red-haired youth seized this opportunity, turned, and bolted.
The other youths nearby, seeing this, froze for a second. When they reacted, they also fled in the opposite direction.
They didn't bother with Guo Jie and the flirtatious woman who had fallen to the ground.
They even hoped in their hearts that the tiger would attack Guo Jie and the flirtatious woman and not chase them!
Qin Yi, who was tracking the tiger's sound, arrived just in time to witness this scene and raised an eyebrow.
Just as he was about to step forward and save Guo Jie and the flirtatious woman, the tiger, unexpectedly, did not attack the two, but instead chased after the red-haired youth.
"Ah, don't chase me, eat them..."
The red-haired youth sensed the danger and cried out in fear, running for his life.
Unfortunately, his speed was no match for the tiger!
In just a few seconds, the tiger caught up to him and pounced on him!
"Roar!"
"Get off me, get off me!"
"Ah... don't eat me, eat them, you eat them..."
The red-haired youth writhed and screamed on the ground as the tiger tore at his body with its blood-soaked maw.
Before long, his clothes and pants were all ripped apart, large chunks of flesh were torn away, and he was bleeding profusely.
Initially, due to his previous behavior and his screams when the tiger pounced on him, Qin Yi didn't want to bother with him.
However, seeing that the tiger was about to kill and eat him, Qin Yi's heart finally softened, and he couldn't stand by and watch!
He walked closer, deliberately releasing a powerful aura, and shouted, "Begone!"
With his shout, the tiger stopped its tearing at the red-haired youth.
It turned its head to look at Qin Yi, its tiger eyes filled with intense fear.
As if it had seen something extremely terrifying!
Qin Yi took a step forward, walking towards it, and the tiger dismounted the red-haired youth.
Then, it turned and ran into the dense forest.
Qin Yi had no intention of pursuing it. He walked to the red-haired youth's side and looked at him, covered in wounds and blood.
After a moment, just as he was about to say something, Guo Jie and the flirtatious woman got up from the ground.
Seeing that the tiger had fled, the flirtatious woman immediately ran over. Disregarding the blood on the red-haired youth, she hugged him and asked with concern, "Brother Jin, are you alright???"
Guo Jie also walked over. Although he didn't speak.
The other young men, seeing that the tiger was gone, no longer fled and returned to the red-haired youth's side.
"Brother Jin, how are you?"
"Brother Jin, are you okay!"
"Hurry and carry Brother Jin out to the hospital!"
"..."
They all showed concerned expressions and spoke anxiously.
As if the red-haired youth's earlier actions of intentionally pushing Guo Jie and the flirtatious woman to save himself had never happened.
Then, the youth named Wang Bin picked up the red-haired youth.
"Wait, wait a moment..."
Before Wang Bin could move, the red-haired youth stopped him.
The red-haired youth, on Wang Bin's back, looked at Qin Yi and asked painfully, "Did you just drive that tiger away?"
