"Go, go, go!"
Seeing the tigress flee, Old Yuan immediately called everyone to hurry.
As long as they could get past this narrow path ahead, the whole family would be able to leave the mountains. Once out of the mountains, even if the tigress returned, they would have enough space to maneuver.
The family moved at their fastest pace through the last stretch, while Yuan Pandi and Yuan Wangdi, Yuan Laidi, and Yuan Zhaodi, the four brothers, stayed at the back of the group, guarding against a sneak attack by the tigress.
The four brothers walked slowly.
After all, Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi still had to carry the captured adult tiger.
When Old Yuan finally led the family out of the forest, the escaped tigress really returned, launching a surprise attack on Yuan Zhaodi who was at the rear.
The silently lurking tigress appeared as a hunter.
Even though Yuan Zhaodi was focused on observing the surroundings, he had to watch his step while also checking the environment around him, which led to him not noticing the approaching tigress.
At this moment, in the tigress' eyes, Yuan Zhaodi was prey.
However, some things are truly mysterious.
Just as the tigress leaped to kill, Yuan Zhaodi slipped, and his spear, held to the ground, pointed diagonally into the air with its blade sharpened by machete.
Coincidentally, the position the tigress leapt towards perfectly aligned with the spear point.
Thud!
The sound of the spear piercing through fur and flesh rang out, and the pouncing tigress impaled itself on Yuan Zhaodi's wooden spear, which pierced its throat.
"Fourth brother!"
Yuan Pandi, hearing the noise, turned around, just in time to see the tigress fall from the sky, and Yuan Zhaodi fall along with it. At first glance, it appeared as if the tigress had killed Yuan Zhaodi.
"Ah—!"
Thinking his fourth brother was killed by the tigress, Yuan Pandi roared in anger, grabbing his wooden spear and rushing forward.
"Brother, I, I'm fine!"
As Yuan Pandi reached him, Yuan Zhaodi's voice rang out.
Honestly, what just happened left Yuan Zhaodi a bit dumbfounded.
Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi had already dropped the tiger they were carrying, grabbed their wooden spears, and rushed over, only to see the tigress twitching on the ground, stunned.
"Fourth brother, you're so brave?"
After checking that the tigress was speared to death, Yuan Pandi felt even more incredulous.
"Brother, I purely got lucky!"
By this time, Yuan Zhaodi had already figured out the truth.
If he hadn't slipped and almost fallen, he would never have escaped the tigress' attack.
Realizing this, Yuan Zhaodi was truly frightened.
Just one misstep, and his life would have been over!
After Yuan Zhaodi's explanation, Yuan Pandi, Yuan Wangdi, and Yuan Laidi were first stunned, then burst into laughter.
"Fourth brother, your luck is amazing!"
"Haha, our Yuan Family really is in luck!"
"Let's go, let's hoist this unlucky fellow up too; it's worth a lot of money!"
The four brothers all laughed joyfully.
However, Yuan Zhaodi couldn't get up and continue right away; his legs were still weak.
After a while, Yuan Zhaodi recovered some strength, and together with his elder brother Yuan Pandi, they lifted the dead tigress and swiftly left along the mountain path.
