"Serves you right for bringing it upon yourself, didn't you?" Lu Gong sneered.
"Now you know commanding isn't as easy as it looks, huh? You thought you were someone important, but you have no strength, no brains, so who are you to command anyone?"
"And you're not even well-liked, not a single person willing to save you. Your command was a complete failure, wasn't it?"
After Lu Gong started, the members of the Ming Long Army also mocked and ridiculed Guang Hong.
They showed no mercy to Guang Hong, who lay heavily injured in the snow.
After all.
When people make mistakes, they naturally have to pay the price.
Pfft~
Already severely injured and weak, Guang Hong couldn't take the mockery from the Ming Long Army.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted immediately.
"So useless, can't even take a few words? Did he die of anger?" Lu Gong said dismissively.
"He's not dead yet, still has a breath," Zhang Yang replied with a smile, shaking his head.
Instantly.
The experts in the Hunyuan Realm, who had supported Guang Hong earlier, all looked at Zhang Yang and pleaded.
"Zhang Tang, we were all deceived by Guang Hong earlier. Now that we see his incompetence, please lead us."
"We all know we were wrong and will never defy your orders again. Please quickly find a way to deal with these three white tigers."
At this moment, they understood why Zhang Yang had told them to rest in place. It was no wonder Zhang Yang had told them to rest.
Seeing the other side admit their mistake again, the Ming Long Army members immediately felt indignant for Zhang Yang and said coldly.
"Hmph, you people are just asking for it. What were you doing earlier? I warned you in advance, but did you listen?"
"Not only did you not listen, but you insisted on making trouble with Guang Hong, thinking there was no danger ahead! Now look? So many people are injured, and you almost became a meal for three white tigers!"
"You truly never learn from your mistakes! You were taught a lesson when you encountered pirates, but why didn't you listen? If Zhang Tang truly didn't care about your lives, why would he waste so much breath on you?"
Instantly.
The Hunyuan Realm experts looked ashamed and dared not look up.
"We apologize, our judgment was shallow. Zhang Tang, please don't hold it against us. Help us overcome this immediate difficulty first."
Everyone looked at Zhang Yang with apologies, hoping he would lend a hand.
Zhang Yang shook his head and sighed.
"Use your brains more in the future, and don't take things at face value. For example, look closely now. You didn't provoke the white tigers, and they were standing still, weren't they?"
This!
At Zhang Yang's reminder, everyone couldn't help but look at the white tigers.
They indeed found that after dealing with Guang Hong, the white tigers had returned to their original positions.
What was going on?
Everyone was puzzled, looking at each other in confusion.
Zhang Yang shook his head and explained helplessly.
"Can't you see such a simple reason? The reason I stopped you earlier was because I sensed danger, but you refused to listen and insisted on walking into the white tigers' territory."
"That's why the white tigers attacked you. But when you retreated, the white tigers wouldn't attack you anymore."
At Zhang Yang's reminder, everyone suddenly understood.
"So that's how it is. The white tigers attacked us because they thought we had trespassed into their territory?"
"That's right, that's exactly what it means. Otherwise, why wouldn't the white tigers have attacked you when you moved away from them?" Zhang Yang replied.
Hearing this, everyone slapped their foreheads and exclaimed.
"It turns out that's the case! So, it means they wouldn't have attacked us if we hadn't provoked them?"
"And Guang Hong didn't need to fight the white tigers. We just needed to go around this path, right?"
"Exactly, that's the principle. When you encounter something, you need to observe, especially in the wilderness! You must be good at observing in unfamiliar environments!" Zhang Yang said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, everyone gave Zhang Yang a thumbs-up!
Guang Hong, who had woken up after fainting, also heard this.
But hearing it made things worse, and he was so enraged that he vomited blood again!
So, as long as they didn't provoke the white tigers and retreated, the white tigers wouldn't chase them!
It was that simple!
Guang Hong was filled with regret!
If he had known this earlier, he wouldn't have tried to show off.
Now, he had lost command and was seriously injured.
Most importantly, he would be ridiculed by these people for the rest of his life when he returned.
Guang Hong fainted again.
"Hmph, he brought it upon himself, serves him right!" The Ming Long Army members sneered.
The other Hunyuan Realm experts remained indifferent, and no one paid attention to Guang Hong's fate.
If Zhu Zhi hadn't instructed Hong Tao to appear later and bring him back to the ship, Guang Hong would have frozen to death in this icy wasteland.
"Zhang Tang, you decide what happens next." After Hong Tao finished speaking, he turned and left.
This time, no one disagreed with Zhang Yang. They all waited for Zhang Yang to speak.
"Let's go to the side for now, bypass the territory of these three white tigers, and find a safe place to rest," Zhang Yang said.
The group first retreated a few hundred meters, then moved to the side, bypassing the white tigers' territory.
That night.
They encountered three more blizzards.
However, with the lesson learned from the first half of the night, no one dared to complain.
Fortunately.
As they endured, dawn finally broke.
The group continued to traverse the snowy land.
Zhang Yang and the Ming Long Army members walked at the front of the team, vigilantly observing their surroundings.
Suddenly.
Zhang Yang smelled a strange scent and raised his hand, signaling the people behind him to stop.
"What's wrong?" Lu Gong asked.
"The smell here is not right," Zhang Yang frowned.
The Ming Long Army members took deep breaths.
They did smell a strange odor, but they couldn't identify what it was!
"There should be other fierce beasts similar to white tigers nearby. Everyone, retreat." Zhang Yang said.
The crowd quickly retreated, while Zhang Yang cautiously took a few steps forward.
The further he went, the stronger the strange smell became.
"This smell is a bit like the musty odor of chicken droppings, with a hint of fishiness. What could it be?" Zhang Yang muttered to himself.
He scanned his surroundings carefully, but in broad daylight, the snowy ground was barren, and there was nothing to be found!
Suddenly!
The clouds that obscured the sun parted, and sunlight shone on the snow.
A stripe of pale white and snow white, as thick as a bucket, reflected light into Zhang Yang's eyes!
This!
Zhang Yang was startled, his hair standing on end!
Judging by its size, it seemed to be a python!
And a giant python as thick as a bucket!
If it weren't for the reflection of the sunlight, Zhang Yang wouldn't have noticed it!
Instantly, Zhang Yang held his breath.
Following the snow-white and pale-white stripes, he observed the python, trying to gauge its size!
Unconsciously, Zhang Yang had already turned around.
He discovered something even more terrifying and shouted.
"Everyone, don't move, stay put! No one is allowed to move!"
