“It’s right over there, behind that protruding rock,” Wang Dong pointed ahead.
Ji Zan walked over and pushed aside the tall, withered grass, revealing a small cave. ‘You all go inside and rest for a while. I’ll go up the mountain to take a look. ”
Fu Shinan immediately said, “I’ll go with you. Two people can look out for each other.”
After a moment of hesitation, Ji Zan nodded. Seeing that Fu Shinan was in decent shape, he agreed. He knew there were no more powered individuals in Wang Dong’s group, so he wasn’t worried about any tricks, especially with Sun Han and MO Cheng around.
“I’m coming with you too,” Wang Dong said immediately. He figured he might find something valuable if he stayed down here.
Ji Zan nodded again and brought along Li Hu. The four of them headed up the mountain.
As soon as they entered the forest, Li Hu couldn’t help but shiver. He suddenly regretted coming here. The last time he was in this forest, as soon as they entered, they encountered a tiger as big as a small hill, as if it had gone mad. With one swipe of its paw, it tore a person to shreds. They lost over ten people that day, and they only managed to escape because the tiger seemed to have eaten its fill. Now he wanted to go back, but when he looked back at the way they came, he didn’t dare. He could only continue tremblingly.
Wang Dong also had some psychological trauma, but wealth comes from taking risks. Drawing on his experience, he said, “I’ve heard that those crystals grow underground! The higher-quality ones can even move! So when you spot a high-quality one, you have to be quick, or it will disappear.”
Fu Shinan was half-skeptical. “It can move? Crystals are inanimate objects, aren’t they? So where are these things usually found, and do they have any specific characteristics? They can’t just grow anywvhere, right?”
Wang Dong simply replied, “It’s a matter of luck! I haven’t met many people who successfully took a crystal. Those who can do it won’t tell me too much about it. Knowing that crystals can move is also hearsay. I don’t know the exact truth. ”
Hearing this, Fu Shinan stopped asking questions.
At that moment, Li Hu, who had been focused on walking, suddenly let out a horrifying scream. They followed his gaze and saw a person with only the upper half of their body leaning against a tree. The lower half was missing, and the surrounding soil had turned dark, stained with blood.
Ji Zan walked over and touched the body. “They died not long ago. There might be a dangerous beast nearby. Everyone, be cautious.”
Fu Shinan quickly picked up a few branches and enhanced them, then distributed them. “These are reinforced branches for self-defense.”
“Reinforced?” Wang Dong looked at the branch in his hand. Although it appeared ordinary, when he held it, he felt an unusual sharpness, like a blade.
Li Hu sneered, but he didn’t finish his thought before feeling the leaves behind him rustling. Then came a deafening tiger roar.
They turned slowly and saw a colossal white tiger, about five meters long, with sharp fangs and a cold gaze, staring at them.
In front of the enormous tiger, even Ji Zan, who stood at over 1.9 meters tall, seemed unusually small. Not to mention the others, they could only look up at the tiger in sheer awe.
At this moment, the tiger roared again, and the fur on its neck stood on end. This was a precursor to the tiger’s impending attack.
Fu Shinan’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. Tigers were the kings of beasts, and facing one was entirely different from dealing with other animals. She forced herself to stay calm and quickly used her psychic power to connect with the tiger. Just as the tiger was about to strike, she successfully took control of the white tiger’s body and forced it to lie down.
Wang Dong and Li Hu were already stunned by the white tiger’s presence, and now they watched in amazement as the ferocious beast suddenly turned docile. Their expressions were filled with shock.
Ji Zan glanced at Fu Shinan, who had sat down in her place, realizing that she had successfully controlled the white tiger. He seized the opportunity and jumped up, grabbing the tiger’s mane. Then he said in a deep voice, “Hold on.” Without waiting for him to finish, he raised the reinforced branch in his hand and stabbed it into the white tiger’s neck.
The intense pain made the white tiger howl, “Roar!”
Wang Dong and Li Hu were overwhelmed by the tiger’s roar and found themselves sitting on the ground, their legs too weak to stand.
As for Fu Shinan, her body also swayed violently. The distant pain reached her limit, causing her to disconnect from the white tiger and return to her own body.
However, the white tiger was not so easily defeated. It regained control of its body, shook its massive head, and the branch was still embedded in its neck, blood flowing freely. This further ignited its ferocity. With a frenzy, it opened its blood-filled mouth and lunged viciously toward Ji Zan, who was riding on its back..
