A pile of fish was quickly packed up. Jixiang and everyone set up a simple drying shed on the beach, and arranged the fish one by one to dry them. Jixiang was afraid that Zaohua and the others would forget, so he wrote down the methods of handling various fishes, and then left the village at Situ Changqing's urging.

Fulai refused to stay in the village no matter what, so Jixiang had no choice but to take him on the road with him.

Because they had been delayed in the village for too long, it got dark not long after they walked on the road.

Tian Muyu suggested that everyone hurry up and go to Prince Duan's Mansion to stay, but Situ Changqing refused. Situ Changqing was afraid of being intercepted by men in black again, so he led everyone around the main road and into a small road in the valley.

Not only is the road in the valley narrow, but there are lush trees and cascading mountains on both sides, and the depth is everywhere, like a giant beast with its mouth wide open.

After everyone had walked for less than an hour, it became completely dark.

Tian Muyu proposed to rest on the spot and fill his stomach, but Situ Changqing looked around but hesitated.

Situ Changqing: "Your Majesty, this doesn't seem like a good place to rest."

Everyone was immediately alert.

Ji Xiang: "Master Situ, do you feel something is wrong?"

Situ Changqing: "I walked this road a few years ago. Although there are few people there, ferocious beasts often appear. There is a temple two hours further on. Let's rest at the temple."

Jixiang looks at Tian Muyu.

Tian Muyu: "Can you still persist?"

Jixiang nodded: "I'm fine."

Situ Changqing: "Then keep walking. Everyone, please pay attention to your steps and don't fall behind."

The group moved forward again.

Suddenly, the little Fulai in Jixiang's arms felt a little restless, twisting around as if trying to break free.

Jixiang: "Fu Lai, be quiet." Jixiang comforted in a low voice.

But Fulai's actions are getting bigger and bigger.

Everyone's steps became inexplicably lighter, and everyone felt the shuddering tension in the air.

Tian Muyu and Situ Changqing coincidentally sandwiched Jixiang in the middle.

Jixiang listened to all the subtle sounds along the road, and put his hand on Fulai's head and gently stroked it, trying to calm it down.

In the dark night like ink, a little green light suddenly appeared.

Those green lights moved slowly towards the crowd, and in addition to the heavy footsteps, they were also accompanied by the rustling sound of passing through the jungle.

Situ Changqing: "Everyone, be careful, the wolves may be coming!"

After a swishing sound of sword being drawn, the air seemed to be stagnant, and only the green eyes in the distance were gradually approaching here.

Jixiang: "Wolves are afraid of fire and the sound of iron tools. Let's light torches."

Situ Changqing refused: "If we don't get close, we can't be sure it's a wolf pack. If it's not a wolf pack, once the torch is lit, we will become their target."

Tian Muyu: "What Mr. Situ said makes sense."

Situ Changqing: "Don't talk, everyone, be careful next time..."

Before Situ Changqing could finish what he said, something suddenly rushed towards him with a strong wind.

Fu Laideng, who was in Jixiang's arms, immediately raised his head and looked eagerly at the group of black figures rushing toward him.

Several swords were raised at the same time, and they passed under the black shadow one after another. After hearing a few sounds, Ji Xiang felt that the black shadow passed over her head, and when it passed, it was still on her face. A few drops of goo fell.

Blood, drops of blood!

Ji Xiang turned around quickly and saw a huge black creature standing behind her! The big thing turned around when he saw Ji Xiang, as if he wanted to step forward, but fell heavily to the ground before even taking one foot out.

Fu Lai swooped out of Ji Xiang's arms and rushed towards the group lying on the ground.

"Torch, light the torch quickly!" Ji Xiang was anxious.

A guard beside Tian Muyu immediately lit the torch in his hand, and Tian Muyu took the torch to Jixiang's side.

What was on the ground was clearly visible: a tiger whose belly had been disemboweled.

At this time, Fu Lai sniffed around the tiger, humming as if he was very sad.

Ji Xiang slowly leaned over: "Fu Lai, do you know it?"

Fu Lai seemed to understand Ji Xiang's words, and blinked his eyes twice towards Ji Xiang, and his eyes seemed to be full of tears.

Situ Changqing came over: "We can't stay here for too long. There were clearly several pairs of eyes in the woods just now, not just one tiger."

Jixiang stepped forward to hug Fulai and wanted to take him away, but Fulai struggled and refused. As soon as Jixiang let go, he ran into the tiger's arms again.

Ji Xiang suddenly thought of the tiger that died in front of her on the isolated island. Could it be that it was just Fulai's mother or Fulai's father? Jixiang immediately stepped forward and gently stroked the tiger's head, "Leave Fulai to me from now on, and I will protect him."

The dying tiger blinked at Ji Xiang.

Sure enough, I can understand what she said, and sure enough it has something to do with Fulai!

Thinking of the black iron plate around Fulai's neck, Ji Xiang quickly touched Tiger's neck and found no pendant.

Is it possible that people who just want to see their children suffer such a disaster? Ji Xiang inexplicably had an opinion on Situ Changqing: "Master Situ, don't be too alarmist. This tiger has a good relationship with Fulai and may not be here to harm us."

Situ Changqing: "Miss Jixiang, don't say that. Walking at night, danger will be around you at any time. You should be careful."

Ji Xiang: "But it passed you and ended up behind the team. If it wanted to hurt people, it wouldn't be in this situation now."

Situ Changqing: "How do you know this is not their trick? There was not just one pair of eyes in the forest, but several pairs. It means that there are still several tigers around us watching in the dark, and they will attack again at any time. Don't be careless." He then ordered his men, "Light the torches and keep moving forward!"

As soon as Situ Changqing finished speaking, two tigers jumped out of the woods and rushed towards the crowd respectively!

Soon, howls sounded in the woods, and the guards were attacked one after another.

Ji Xiang quickly held Fu Lai in his arms and looked around warily.

Tian Muyu stood by Jixiang's side, "Don't move around later, just stay with me."

Jixiang: "Just take care of yourself. I can handle it."

Tian Muyu: "How can you, a woman, deal with ferocious beasts? They have no sympathy for you!" The two stood with their backs to each other, each protecting the other's retreat to prevent the tiger from attacking. But he never thought that a long arrow was aimed at Tian Muyu from the tree next to him.

There was a loud noise, and the arrow hit Tian Muyu's chest.

Tian Muyu staggered and fell towards Ji Xiang behind him.
