"Xu Yi, what should we do?" Lu Ke furrowed her brows. At the sound of the tiger's roar, she had immediately taken the crossbow from her waist and assumed a defensive posture.
Run?
Could they outrun a tiger?
Xu Yi wasn't sure. After all, he had never raced against a tiger before.
Climb a tree?
That was impossible. These trees were too large, and there were no vines attached to them; climbing up was simply out of the question.
Then there's nothing left but to fight!
Xu Yi gripped the machete tightly and took a deep breath.
The tiger's roar sounded once again.
"Something seems off. It sounds more like a tiger's scream of pain." Listening closely, Xu Yi noted there was a hint of distress in the sound and couldn't help but comment.
"A scream of pain?" Lu Ke replied, puzzled, then quickly added, "Was the tiger attacked?"
"It's possible; it's not too far from us. Let's go have a look," Xu Yi suggested, suspecting that an animal was locked in combat with the tiger.
