Outside the cave was the same black giant tiger that had been battling the Red Training Snake King today.
At this moment, the black giant tiger stood right in front of them.
"Little Shan, you, you better step back, be careful."
Yu Xiuxiu was so scared that she was beside herself.
Though it was a tiger, its size was nearly that of an elephant, just like a large loader, emanating an extremely powerful sense of oppression, especially those two sharp fangs protruding from its mouth, as if it could eat a person at any moment.
Yu Xiuxiu was but a frail woman, utterly unable to bear such a fright; her body trembled, and she stammered when she spoke.
Zhang Xiaoshan was equally nervous, but with Yu Xiuxiu right behind him, he absolutely could not back down. Even if there was danger, it would have to be him who bore it.
"Sister-in-law, go back into the cave; I can handle it."
While urging Yu Xiuxiu to leave, Zhang Xiaoshan’s mind raced, thinking of a way to deal with the black giant tiger.
The black giant tiger was enormous, with a tough hide, sharp claws and teeth; it would indeed take a lot of effort to deal with, and with Yu Xiuxiu nearby, he was restricted and the danger was significantly increased.
The black giant tiger suddenly lay prostrate before Zhang Xiaoshan, displaying a posture of submission, while continuously whimpering from its mouth.
It seemed to be pleading for something from Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Little Shan, it, it seems like it doesn’t want to be our enemy."
Yu Xiuxiu also noticed that the situation seemed different from what they had imagined.
Zhang Xiaoshan nodded.
"It’s intelligent. I saved it today; it shouldn’t be here to attack us. Perhaps it’s come to express gratitude?"
As they were considering, the prostrate black giant tiger stood up again.
Zhang Xiaoshan quickly pulled Yu Xiuxiu back.
But the black tiger showed no sign of attacking them. Instead, it turned away and left in a certain direction.
After moving about a few tens of meters, it looked back at Zhang Xiaoshan, still softly whimpering.
"It seems to want us to follow it?" guessed Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Then let’s follow it and see."
Zhang Xiaoshan considered for a moment. If the black giant tiger had really wanted to attack them, it could have done so already; there was no need for subterfuge.
Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan indeed did not sense any malice from the creature.
So, he took Yu Xiuxiu’s hand and followed the tracks of the black giant tiger. The most update n0vels are published on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱
The black giant tiger hastened its pace, seeming very anxious, and began to run wildly.
Zhang Xiaoshan picked up Yu Xiuxiu and chased quickly after it.
Little did they know that they would come to the deep pool where they had fallen off the cliff.
"What does it want to bring us here for?"
Both were completely baffled.
There were many stones sticking out of the pool, and the black giant tiger hopped across them, eventually vanishing behind the waterfall.
"What is it trying to do?"
"Is there a way behind the waterfall?"
Yu Xiuxiu was full of confusion and worry at this point.
"Little Shan, let’s just forget it. What if there’s danger?"
Zhang Xiaoshan flatly refused.
"No, we’ve already come this far, and I can feel it has good intentions towards us. Perhaps it wants to lead us out of here, and that’s not impossible."
"How about this: you wait outside, and I’ll go explore the path first. If it’s safe, I’ll come back for you."
Yu Xiuxiu was even more resolute.
"That won’t do, I’d rather die with you together."
Zhang Xiaoshan was shaken to the core, staring intently at Yu Xiuxiu.
Yu Xiuxiu realized her slip and quickly corrected herself.
"I mean, I’m worried you might encounter danger, I..."
"Sister-in-law, I understand your feelings. Let’s go."
Without any further discussion, Zhang Xiaoshan once again carried Yu Xiuxiu on his back, stepping on the stones in the pool, hopping across the waterfall.
"Wow, it’s so beautiful."
Yu Xiuxiu, lying on Zhang Xiaoshan’s back, couldn’t help exclaiming as they entered behind the waterfall.
