Chapter 225 Into the Tiger's Den
Chapter 225 Into the Tiger's Den
Continuing to walk a little further, you will indeed reach a main road, although there are still many trees here. But there were already sparse pedestrians. All these brothers breathed a sigh of relief and found a place under the shade of a tree to rest first. Xiaolan counted the number of people. When they first arrived, there were thirty people and thirty horses. Now there were only twenty-one people left, as well as several seriously injured people.
Now they can be said to be scarred and defeated. Xiaolan was a little discouraged after counting the number of people. He said to Li Kaiyang:
"We did avenge our master, but we also got involved with so many brothers. The culprit Fang Dahai was not killed, and he even drove him away in confusion. Do you think our trip was worth it?"
"It's worth it! Why isn't it worth it?"
Li Kaiyang answered decisively.
"If we don't even have the courage to avenge Master Li Guang, then how can we comfort his soul in heaven. Our decision is not wrong. Don't doubt yourself. Although several brothers lost their lives because of this, they died well deserved."
Xiaolan choked and choked, shed two tears, and said to Li Kaiyang in an extremely depressed mood:
"I also wanted to avenge my master, so I did this. I originally wanted to completely remove the sting of the Black Tiger Gang, but I didn't expect that Fang Dahai was so capable. Alas, we didn't get rid of him after all."
When it comes to Fang Dahai's ability, Li Kaiyang also feels a little depressed, because he doesn't understand why Fang Dahai's ability is so overwhelming.
"Don't worry, sooner or later I will defeat him, just let him be free for a while!"
Alan nodded and looked at Li Kaiyang with firm eyes. She believed that the young man in front of her would definitely do it.
Under the shade of the trees, people had rested for a long time, and someone reapplied medicine to the two seriously injured ones. Although this place is far away from Fang Dahai, they are separated by a mountain. Although there is a distance, they are still afraid of them chasing after them. So this was not a safe place after all, so Li Kaiyang decided to walk a little further first and then find a place to rest.
Everyone agreed upon hearing this. They just stood up and were about to leave when suddenly there were several more tiger roars in the forest.
The timid young people in the crowd were so frightened that they ran away. The older and more cautious people were so ignorant that they ran away when they heard the roar of the tiger, regardless of the wounded.
Li Kaiyang was extremely disappointed with them. He called on everyone to come back and carry away the wounded first.
It's a pity that those people didn't listen to anything and kept running forward. Someone even warned them loudly:
"Don't stay here! Although there is a road here, don't forget that the road is in the forest. Those beasts have not left us. This is also their territory. We can't care about it anymore. Run away!"
As soon as the young man finished speaking, three tigers jumped out of the woods. He rushed directly towards Li Kaiyang and his group.
Several unsuspecting young people were injured by the claws of two tigers. One of them rushed towards Li Kaiyang, and Li Kaiyang quickly drew out his lightsaber. Then he raised his sword and dropped it, killing a tiger on the spot.
In this moment of negligence, everyone with legs ran away. The two legless ones lay on the ground unable to run, so the two tigers grabbed them and snatched them away.
Li Kaiyang quickly chased after him again, hoping to save Xiao Xiaozi and the man who escaped from the tiger's mouth. However, he was not as fast as the tiger, and the tiger disappeared in the jungle in a blink of an eye.
Li Kaiyang looked at Lin Xing and sighed, he had no choice but to sit on the ground so angry that he couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.
He and Xiaolan were the only ones who didn't run away. Xiaolan came over, patted Li Kaiyang on the shoulder and comforted:
"We have tried our best. Life or death is a matter of fate. Although you did not save them, you also killed a tiger."
Li Kaiyang gritted his teeth tightly and lowered his head dejectedly. After a long time, he stood up suddenly and said to Xiaolan:
"I can't let these two tigers hurt these two brothers in vain. They eat people, and I will kill them! Now I will go to the forest to find tigers. You lead those brothers to a safer place. Go and take shelter for a while. You wait for me, and I will meet you when the time comes."
Xiaolan quickly shook her head after hearing his words:
"Kaiyang, you can't do this. I know how you feel and I understand it. However, you have to know that doing this is very dangerous. Besides, whether you can save them alive or not is still a question!"
Li Kaiyang glared at Xiaolan and said decisively:
"Even if there is a glimmer of hope, I have to go. Even if I can't rescue them alive, I won't give up until I see the dead bodies."
Li Kaiyang had no hesitation, and Xiaolan had no way to stop him. She could only look at him with affectionate eyes in silence.
Li Kaiyang turned around and got into the woods, quickly chasing down the blood stains left by the tiger in its mouth.
Soon the blood was no longer visible, and Li Kaiyang lost his way. Later, he saw a piece of broken clothes on a branch. After judgment, this is the clothes called Coyotito.
He felt that it might have been deliberately torn off by Coyotito, and the purpose of leaving it here might be to hope that the people looking for them could follow the clues and keep moving forward.
Li Kaiyang walked further and found a piece of cloth again, also hanging on a branch. This time it became clearer to him that the two tigers were running towards the mountainside. Li Kaiyang hurriedly chased after him and kept picking up rags.
Finally, in front of a cave, Li Kaiyang picked up the last piece of cloth. And there was a corpse next to it that had been chewed up, leaving only human bones. Li Kaiyang recognized it. Isn't this the brother who just grabbed it? His clothes had been torn and thrown aside. Judging from his clothes, he should be the young man who escaped from the tiger's mouth.
"Where is Coyotito? Without his body, is he still alive?"
Li Kaiyang glanced towards the cave. In the dark cave, two pairs of luminous lights were shining brightly. He realized that these must be the eyes of a tiger.
The tiger made no movement, and Li Kaiyang did not dare to get in rashly. He shouted twice loudly:
"Hey, hey, tiger, come out!"
The tiger cannot understand human speech, and his shouting has no effect. Now the tiger is in the dark and Li Kaiyang is in the light. He wants to call the tiger out. Only when the tiger and the man are together in the light can they fight. It's a pity that after a long time of effort, the tiger still didn't come out.
It was probably time for another cup of tea, and Li Kaiyang couldn't wait any longer.
He took the lightsaber in his hand and plunged his head into the tiger's hole. This time Li Kaiyang was absolutely determined to die. As he climbed in, he smelled the unpleasant smell.
It all smells like rotten meat and bones, and it also contains the smell of urine. Climbing further, it can feel the breath exhaled from the tiger's mouth. And the tiger's roar can already be heard.
Li Kaiyang didn't care about anything now. He just kept crawling in, and when he encountered a tiger, he would fight him to the death. Anyway, Li Kaiyang held a lightsaber in his hand, and he knew the power of the lightsaber. Let alone a tiger, it could be cut into pieces even if it was made of flesh and blood, such as adamantium.
With such an idea, Li Kaiyang had nothing to fear or care about. He moved forward bravely and tried his best to get in.
His behavior finally annoyed the tiger, and a strong wind rushed over. Li Kaiyang knew that the tiger had arrived.
He didn't even need to look, Li Kaiyang stretched out his arm and slashed several times with his sword. With a grunt, a bloody tiger head fell to Li Kaiyang's hand.
It turned out that Li Kaiyang chopped the tiger into several large pieces with just a few casual swings. This tiger died so unjustly. Before he could see his prey's face clearly, he died.
This tiger died so happily, how will the next tiger be received?
Li Kaiyang climbed inward for a while, and after crossing the tiger's body, a strong wind appeared in front of him again.
Li Kaiyang alertly picked up the lightsaber, ready to fight at any time. But the tiger didn't move. Maybe he had just seen how miserable his companions died.
Therefore, animals also have spirituality. He knew that he was no match for this man, so instead of attacking, his body went deeper into the cave.
Li Kaiyang continued to crawl forward and finally touched a person's body. He didn't know whether the man was dead or not, so he touched his breath with his hand. Fortunately, people are still breathing.
So Li Kaiyang dragged him out. He was also afraid that the tiger would sneak up on them from behind, so he turned around and swiped behind him twice with his lightsaber from time to time. Just like that, Li Kaiyang dragged him out with great difficulty.
Finally out of the cave, Li Kaiyang was so tired that he was covered in sweat. The tiger in the cave showed no reaction at all.
Li Kaiyang shouted twice more loudly, but the tiger still didn't move. At this time, he began to observe the rescued person, and it turned out to be Coyotito. His life was finally saved. Thinking about it, his experience was really tortuous. First, his eyes were gouged out and his nose was cut off. Now the tiger has carried it into the cave again.
Fortunately, the big tiger didn't eat him first, but the man. This allowed Li Kaiyang to rescue him.
Li Kaiyang shouted for a long time that the tiger didn't come out, so there was no need for him to wait here all the time. So he picked up Coyotito who was lying on the ground.
The two people started going down the mountain step by step. Along the way, Li Kaiyang couldn't help but look behind him. They were afraid that the tiger would sneak up on them from behind. Fortunately, the journey was uneventful, and Li Kaiyang finally reached the meeting point with them.
More than a dozen brothers ran over together to celebrate Li Kaiyang's rescue of someone.
They picked up Coyotito and checked his injuries. Except for the teeth marks from tiger bites on Coyotito's belly, there were no wounds found anywhere else on the body.
After everyone put some medicinal powder in his waist. Start pouring some water into his mouth, and soon Coyotito wakes up. When he opened his eyes and found that he was still alive, he was so happy:
"I'm still alive, is this true?"
"You're alive, of course it's true."
Li Kaiyang said to him very definitely.
"Who saved me? Who saved me from the tiger's mouth?"
Li Kaiyang nodded and pointed at himself without humility. Coyotito looked at him with tears in his eyes. A look of gratitude.
Li Kaiyang asked him again:
"Did you make that rag hanging on the tree? Did you want to use it to mark us?"
Coyotito nodded.
Li Kaiyang stretched out his thumb and said:
"You're so good. If it weren't for the mark you left, how could I have found the tiger's cave? It's better to say that I saved you, but it's better to say that you saved yourself. You stayed calm in the face of danger. You didn’t forget to leave a mark in your mouth. In fact, you are the most heroic person. I admire you to the extreme."
Coyotito coughed a few times very quickly, suddenly his head tilted, and he fainted again.
Li Kaiyang ordered someone to carry Coyotito on his back. He said:
"This guy took a lot of life and he had a lot of backbone. So we have to protect him and get him home. His spirit is the spirit of our entire team."
At this time, Xiaolan said from the side:
"When Coyotito was making the mark, I don't know if he had thought that most people had given up on him. Including me, I thought he was dead, so we were all prepared not to do this kind of hopeless thing again. thing. Only Li Kaiyang was willing to risk his life to save him for a glimmer of hope. It was this persistent thought that finally saved Coyotito's life. How important this kind of adventure is to a person in despair. "
No one present nodded in agreement. They don't have the habit of extending their thumbs because it is an insult to them. Nodding to someone is the highest compliment in their eyes. Li Kaiyang received unanimous praise from these two dozen people.
Although Xiao Wuzhi was in a coma, I don't know if he understood that his life was saved entirely by Li Kaiyang's persistence.
Afterwards, everyone kept Coyotito safe and walked down the road they found.
Li Kaiyang was extremely careful that this time he would always be at the back, focusing on the movements in the forest.
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful. They passed through no man's land and finally arrived at a small mountain village.
Although the village is not big, it is small and well-equipped. There are restaurants and shops here. It seems to be a hub village on the main transportation route.
Li Kaiyang and the others could finally have a good meal and rest.
This village seems to have hundreds of households at least, and there are also many luxurious houses in the village. Li Kaiyang and the others found an inn and restaurant to stay.
The owner of Yuelai Inn was so happy to receive so many guests at once. He pointed to the food and wine on the table and said:
"Come on, come on, we have good food here. Guests, are you hungry? Eat quickly!"
We were indeed hungry, and everyone rushed to eat. A few younger brothers were talking to the side:
"They don't look like rich people. Don't come to our inn to eat for free!"
After listening to his words, Li Kaiyang touched the gold in his arms.
"Oh, no, I threw it out as a hidden weapon during the fight. It's a pity, it's a pity, it's such a pity, otherwise, how much silver is that piece of gold worth!"
This was what Li Kaiyang was saying in his heart. Although the second brother couldn't hear it, the expression on his face was a bit disgusting. Their boss still greeted them warmly when they came out, and didn't care whether they had money or not.
