Feeling the atmosphere around them, Ye Qiu frowned and said, "I have a constant feeling something's not right around here, we'd better be careful."
"What's wrong? Could it be that you're scared? If you are, you can always leave." At this moment, Jim said disdainfully.
His words made Ye Qiu frown again. Ye Qiu said no more. A brainless person like him, acting so carelessly in such a jungle, would definitely be the first to die.
Seeing that Ye Qiu didn't speak, Jim felt a bit proud and dismissive, saying, "Even if there are beasts here, so what? There are so many of us here, surely we can handle a beast. It would probably run for its life seeing us."
The others thought Jim made sense, so they didn't think much further and continued deeper.
On the contrary, Sha Beibei and Mia'er followed close to Ye Qiu, saying, "This guy is really something. He just ate the fish Ye Qiu caught and now he starts mocking. Such a person deserves to starve."
"Forget it, not worth bickering with someone like him. Paying too much attention only lowers one's own status."
"Hmm..."
The two girls were increasingly annoyed with Jim, and they thought sticking close to Ye Qiu was a wise choice.
"Awoooo..."
After walking for who knows how long, a sudden sound emerged from the front.
The sound was loud, as if it was resonating right in the ears of all present.
This scared everyone so much that they didn't dare to move forward any further, exchanging looks of shock.
"Is there really a beast?"
"That sound seems like a tiger's roar?"
"Could it be? Are there tigers here?"
The next second, a beast leapt out from the bushes in front, providing the answer to everyone.
It was indeed a tiger, and this tiger was quite different from those they had seen in zoos.
This tiger was enormous, nearly a meter tall even without standing fully up, its mighty limbs and fierce gaze were all pounding on everyone's hearts.
"This, this, this tiger is actually two times bigger than those adult tigers we usually see!"
"Awoooo..."
At this moment, the tiger let out another roar, sounding as if it could shatter everyone's eardrums.
Its forelimbs lowered slightly, ready to pounce forward at any time.
This was an attack stance!
Everyone was dumbstruck, with Jim being the most obvious.
Just a moment ago, he was thinking any beast in this jungle would be scared off by their group, but now, not only was the tiger not scared, it was about to attack them!
Everyone was so scared they didn't dare to move, not even daring to take a breath.
The group and the tiger stood facing each other just like that.
"Awooo!"
A moment later, the tiger moved, leaping impressively high, reaching three meters, and in the blink of an eye, it pounced towards a girl.
"Ah..."
The girl screamed helplessly, unable to act otherwise, not even running, as even with her speed, escaping a tiger's grasp was impossible.
Those standing next to her didn't have any intention of helping, all retreating.
Help? Are you kidding, in front of such a fierce beast, keeping oneself alive is good enough, who would risk going forward!
"Swish!"
"Boom!"
Just as the tiger was about to pounce on the girl, Ye Qiu finally intervened, striking a punch directly sending the tiger flying.
It wasn't over yet. With a swift move, Ye Qiu chased after the tiger like an arrow off the bowstring.
"Boom!"
With another punch, the tiger was sent flying again, crashing into a small tree, which broke directly under the impact.
"Awooo..."
The tiger howled in pain, blood spilling from its mouth.
Ye Qiu's two punches had injured its organs, rendering it powerless.
Ye Qiu showed no mercy, reaching the tiger, whirling his fists, and in moments, shattered its iron-like skull, ensuring its death.
"This, this..."
"Killed the tiger with bare hands!!"
"This wasn't just an ordinary tiger, it was twice the size of normal tigers, yet it couldn't withstand a few punches from him!"
"Unbelievable, simply unbelievable!"
The whole crowd was in a mess, the scene completely overturning their worldview. How could there be such a fierce man in this world!
Sha Beibei and Mia'er were similarly astonished, knowing Ye Qiu was strong, but not imagining he was this formidable.
Oh, no, judging by Ye Qiu's demeanor, it seems he hasn't reached his limit yet. What is this guy's background to be so powerful!
The two girls were very curious about Ye Qiu's identity.
"Are you okay?" Ye Qiu walked over to the girl still in shock and asked.
"No, I'm fine." The girl finally reacted after Ye Qiu's question, shaking her head hastily, though her gaze remained on Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu was so fierce, that impressive figure was deeply imprinted in her heart.
Seeing the girl looked infatuated, Sha Beibei felt unreasonably displeased, so she directly approached and asked, "Ye Qiu, what should we do now?"
"Uh, let's go further and have a look." Ye Qiu thought and said.
Since they've come this far, naturally, there's no reason to turn back; learning more about this place can bring no harm.
Upon hearing Ye Qiu say this, everyone had no objections, for with Ye Qiu around, they believed they were safe.
The group, led by Ye Qiu, continued deeper in.
As they went deeper, they encountered several more waves of beasts, leopards the size of three adults, and even fiercer tigers.
All the beasts here were several times larger than any wild animals the group had encountered before; as skilled as Ye Qiu was, handling wave after wave of danger, he was just one person, and several people were still injured.
Moreover, as they went deeper, besides the beasts, there was nothing of note discovered.
"Let's go back for now. Seeing how fierce the beasts are here, it's unlikely humans could inhabit this place." Ye Qiu thought and said to everyone.
"Alright!"
Everyone was long uneasy in their hearts, having no objections to Ye Qiu's suggestion. Unconsciously, Ye Qiu had become the backbone of the group; whatever he said, they would trust unconditionally.
