Chapter 971 A True Man Who Fights Tigers
It was waiting for an opportunity; subconsciously, it could sense that the male two-legged creature in the distance was not to be trifled with.
In truth, Chu Chen was well aware of the tiger in the distance.
He had just been wondering why he hadn't seen a single large wild animal in this place.
So this is tiger territory, which makes sense now.
However, for a Void God Realm expert, a tiger? In his eyes, it's not even a cat.
In no time, Wang Guifang had processed the three prey, then skewered them on sticks and placed them on the fire.
Upon seeing this, Chu Chen immediately pulled out a mixture of salt and chicken bouillon from his clothes and sprinkled it on the surface.
"These are the seasonings I brought from the city. They weren't stolen by the bandits, and I never expected them to come in handy here!"
"Haha, you city folks really have more stuff!"
Soon, the aroma of roasted meat wafted into their noses.
Chu Chen took out a wild rabbit and handed it over: "Here, have a taste. We've been walking for ages, we're starving!"
Wang Guifang didn't hold back and started devouring the wild rabbit.
Perhaps because they had climbed the mountain, the two of them were like hungry wolf cubs, and in no time they had devoured the two wild rabbits.
But just then, Chu Chen put down the rabbit he was holding: "Sis, why don't you go up the tree first?"
"Hey, you haven't finished eating yet, why are you going up the tree!"
"Listen to me, just go!"
Although Wang Guifang was puzzled, she still obediently climbed up the tree to the bed and sat down.
After confirming that Wang Guifang had climbed the tree, Chu Chen immediately picked up the two sharpened bamboo poles beside him and stared intently into the direction of the bushes.
When Wang Guifang followed Chu Chen's gaze, she immediately stopped breathing.
A large tiger was seen in the grass, poised to attack, looking at the two of them.
"Qingxuan, come up quickly, it's dangerous!"
"Don't worry, sis. If we can't kill it, we'll both be trapped. Just stay up there and don't move."
Wang Guifang was, after all, just an ordinary farm woman, and had never seen such a grand spectacle before.
At this moment, she felt immense regret. Why had she agreed to Chu Chen's request to go into the mountains to find wild ginseng?
It's just money, right? At worst, I'll just treat Ma Lao Er to some good food myself.
It's better than losing your life, right?
Moreover, it has implicated an unrelated person. What should we do?
"No, Qingxuan, come up here quickly! That's a tiger, you can't handle it alone!"
"Don't worry, my master taught me that when two people meet on a narrow path, the brave will prevail. It's alright!"
"What kind of time is this to run into each other like this? This is a beast, not a human. Besides, who can kill a tiger with their bare hands? Get up here!"
Chu Chen ignored her and, amidst Wang Guifang's terrified gaze, strode into the bushes.
The tiger never expected that a mere two-legged creature would dare to attack it.
Thinking it was another day to make a fortune, he didn't hesitate to pounce on Chu Chen.
However, the next moment, it began to doubt its own existence.
The two-legged beast in front of him managed to shift its body during its charge, dodging his attack.
Moreover, a bamboo pole had pierced his kidney.
This sudden, intense pain enraged it. It turned around and chased after Chu Chen at top speed.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Chen turned and ran, heading straight into the mountains and forests.
He didn't want Wang Guifang to see him kill the tiger so easily; that would be too outrageous.
Before long, Chu Chen and the tiger disappeared from Wang Guifang's sight.
Wang Guifang was extremely anxious, thinking, "If we can't see him now, what if Chen Qingxuan gets eaten by a tiger? What will we do then?"
Just then, Chu Chen's voice came from the forest again: "Sis, stay put. This thing seems to be injured. We can handle it!"
"Don't come down! You'll only hold me back. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Hearing Chu Chen's strong voice, Wang Guifang felt a little relieved and withdrew her foot that was about to climb down the tree.
"Make sure you're safe. If things get really bad, come over here!"
Little did they know, at that moment, Chu Chen was holding the tiger by the neck with one hand and slapping it on the head one slap after another with the other.
The tiger was completely bewildered, wondering if this was still the two-legged creature it remembered.
How could he be so powerful? And no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free from the hand gripping his neck.
Even more outrageous is that what seemed like a simple slap felt like a huge rock hitting his head.
After only two slaps, the tiger was dizzy and let out a roar.
Chu Chen was too lazy to get entangled with the tiger. He forcefully slapped the tiger's chest with his palm. With a sound of breaking ribs, the tiger spat out a mouthful of blood and died.
After finishing all that, Chu Chen didn't rest. Instead, he picked up a bamboo stick and started hitting the tiger repeatedly until its body was riddled with holes.
Then, as was his habit, he took out a cigarette and lit it.
After resting comfortably for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he dragged the tiger's carcass, covered in blood, to the edge of the pool.
Wang Guifang saw Chu Chen return covered in blood, and then looked at the tiger carcass behind him.
She jumped to the ground, feeling both happy and worried, and rushed to Chu Chen's side, hugging him tightly.
What made them happy was that Chu Chen had actually killed the tiger, but what worried them was seeing him covered in blood and wondering how badly he was injured.
"Are you alright, Qingxuan? Where are you hurt? Let me see!"
"It's nothing, just a minor scratch. Luckily, it was the tiger that was already injured. What a stroke of luck!"
"No, let me see quickly, see if you're hurt anywhere."
As she spoke, Wang Guifang tugged at Chu Chen's clothes.
Helpless, Chu Chen could only take off his clothes and then dive into the pool.
After washing off the tiger blood on his body, he turned around and said, "See, are you alright?"
Wang Guifang could no longer hold back and went straight behind Chu Chen, carefully checking every inch of him.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I was so scared, so scared that you would just die like that. I promise you will never do anything so foolish again. How could I live without you!"
Chu Chen was slightly touched after hearing this. There is something between people called reliance.
Since ancient times, the weak have relied on the strong; perhaps this is just human nature!
Seeing Wang Guifang's body heaving with excitement, Chu Chen felt a surge of anger, and his body began to change slightly as well.
At this moment, Wang Guifang felt the powerful masculine aura emanating from Chu Chen, and she could no longer restrain herself. Although she had never experienced anything like this before, she was still a normal person.
"sister!"
"No, call her sister-in-law!"
