Chapter 130: Mysterious Tiger, Unafraid of Firearms, Defying Science
Mike and his group got ready to retreat.
They had to abandon some of their heavier weapons to ensure that they could get away.
“Prepare grenades and smoke bombs,” Mike instructed in a low voice.
With that, they threw out a large number of grenades and smoke bombs.
Instantly, those grenades and smoke bombs rained down on Jiang Guihua and the others.
When Jiang Guihua saw this, she immediately shouted, “Everyone, disperse and hide!”
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone swiftly moved. They were very nimble.
Bang bang bang!
Explosions sounded one after another, instantly breaking the peace in the valley.
The explosions lasted for six to seven seconds.
After it ended, the entire area was devastated. The explosion created at least forty or fifty large craters.
The smoke bombs and grenades shrouded the area in smoke.
The smoke was murky, and they could barely see a meter away.
“Is everyone alright? Did anyone get hurt?” Jiang Guihua shouted loudly.
As soon as she finished speaking, she received a response from her team members.
“Sister Guihua, I’m fine.”
“Sister Guihua, I’m fine too.”
“Sister Guihua, I’m fine too.”
…
Jiang Guihua heaved a sigh of relief after hearing everyone was fine.
Looking at the thick smoke around them, Jiang Guihua immediately picked up the hoe and swung it left and right. Then, like a fan, she blew the smoke away, and her vision became clear.
However, Mike and company were nowhere to be seen. They had escaped during the explosion.
Jiang Guihua’s team members ran from different directions and reunited with Jiang Guihua.
“Sister Guihua, those foreigners ran away,” a team member said.
“These people really don’t have morals. I can’t believe they used grenades.”
Someone else added, “I wonder if any Moonlight Fruits have been destroyed.
“If Sect Master finds out there are less fruits, he’ll be upset.”
“d.a.m.n it, they managed to escape.”
They were furious and wanted to chop Mike and his group into pieces.
At this moment, Jiang Guihua said calmly, “They can’t escape.”
“All of you, observe carefully. There are some remnants of their aura in the air.
“We can find them based on these remnants of auras.”
Everyone immediately looked around seriously.
As expected, under their Aura Examination, there were indeed colorful particles floating in the air.
It was the residual aura of Mike’s group.
As long as they followed the remnants, they would be able to find them.
With that, Jiang Guihua ran with big strides while her team members followed closely behind her.
…
At the same time, Mike’s group headed west to escaped the valley. They arrived at a mountainside.
“Mike, we’ve run this far. They shouldn’t be able to catch up,” someone said.
Mike looked around to make sure it was safe, then said, “Everyone, take a break.”
With that, he jumped onto a tall tree nearby and surveyed their surroundings vigilantly.
Mike was cautious. He couldn’t relax in this situation.
The others ate food and drank water to replenish their energy.
Renee jumped onto another tree to help Mike with his work.
They waited for more than minutes, everything was normal. It was exceptionally quiet, and there was nothing unusual.
But just as they were relaxing, there was suddenly movement in the bushes ahead.
Swoosh swoos.h.!.+
Plants were pushed around, and a huge tiger appeared in front of everyone.
This tiger was almost six meters long, twice the length of a normal tiger.
The poachers were shocked.
They had hunted countless tiger species for more than ten years, but this was the first time they had seen such a ma.s.sive tiger.
Mike and Renee jumped down from the trees and stood with their team members.
The tiger’s eyes shone with a ferocious light as it roared at them.
“Mike, I think we’ve barged into its territory.”
Renee whispered.
Mike nodded and then smiled. “The Hundred Thousand Mountains is indeed the most mysterious forest in the world. With a tiger of this size, we won’t have to worry about looking for a buyer. And, it will definitely fetch a good price.”
“Then leave it to me. I let the golden snub-nosed monkey escape. I definitely won’t fail this time.” Renee said with incomparable confidence.
Mike had no objections. “Be careful.”
Renee smiled. “Don’t worry. It’ll be over soon.”
With that, she pulled out a dagger from her waist, jumped, and charged at the giant tiger.
The tiger was the king of the forest.
The territory of a king could not be violated by any living creature.
The giant tiger did not dodge when it saw Renee. Instead, its eyes glowed.
When Renee was less than two meters away from the giant tiger, it twisted its waist and swung its tail like an iron whip. To Renee, it happened at the speed of light—the tail hit her lower back and was blown to the side.
There was a loud bang.
Renee’s body bent 30 degrees backward, like a sandbag that had been thrown to the side.
This happened very quickly.
No one present had expected that the giant tiger would have such a method of attack. It was completely beyond their knowledge.
When they came back to their senses, Renee was lying in the middle of ferns, vomiting large amounts of fresh blood. Her gaze was blank, and her body was trembling slightly. She looked like she was dying.
Mike was at her side at once, quickly checking on her.
Her back shattered, and her internal organs ruptured from the powerful force.
In such a primitive forest without any medical treatment, she was definitely beyond hope. She would die with this serious injury.
Even if they had medical treatment, the chances of her survival were extremely low.
Since Renee had undergone genetic modification, she wouldn’t die anytime soon.
To alleviate her pain, Mike endured his grief and stabbed Renee in the heart.
Renee’s body stopped shaking.
Mike stood up; his gaze was murderous. The rest of the team stood too.
“This is Revenge for Renee.” Someone’s voice came out of nowhere, followed by the sound of machine-gun fire.
The team members picked up their machine guns and fired at the tiger.
Facing the firearms, the giant tiger didn’t run away. Instead, it stood still.
In that instant, there was a loud sound of metal colliding.
Large amounts of sparks appeared on the surface of the giant tiger’s body.
Mike and company were stunned.
The gunshots lasted for more than twenty seconds. They had emptied all bullets in their guns, yet the giant tiger was unscathed.
Mike and company were rooted to the ground, their minds blank.
The giant tiger licked its lips, its fierce eyes had a teasing smile.
It leaped towards Mike’s group.
Roar!
The huge tiger extended its sharp claws and quickly swung them.
Pfft!
Before the four of them could react, the tiger ripped their flesh and sinew. They collapsed without a sound.
In just a few minutes, the tiger had killed five more people.
Mike realized why the Hundred Thousand Mountains was called the graveyard for humans.
A vicious beast completely defied science and the natural evolution of creatures.
At this moment, Mike and the remaining people were terrified. After all, firearms were ineffective against it.
Just then, rustling sounds came from a certain direction.
Jiang Guihua’s group had arrived.
