"I'll tell you later, but our primary job now is to get out of here." With that, Davey started running towards the cave. I also started running behind him without thinking about anything.
Sometime later, we reached the cave. Uncle after us like this also gets worried.
"What happened? Young master, what happened?" He asked Devin.
" Don't worry about it. It has been just a tiger coming toward us and I shot him." Devin said.
" What? Are you telling the truth, Devin? Then why did I see burning eyes?" I asked him. Is that really a tiger? But those eyes.
" Yes, that was really a tiger. I don't think you know, but if you shine a light on a tiger's eye at night, you feel that their eyes are glowing." Devin said.
" But this time we should not be outside. Because a wounded tiger is more dangerous. " Devin told me.
the next day,
Devin POV:
I woke up this morning to find that there was no rain today. I was happy to see it. Finally, we can start our adventure again. But we have to be careful step by step. After yesterday's events, it is clear how terrifying this jungle can be.
After a while, Uncle Steven and Jack woke up. I will get them ready soon. We will leave shortly after breakfast. We still have a long way to go.
After twenty minutes,
We finally got out of the cave with our belongings. Again, we are walking through the forest towards hundreds of hills.
As we passed through the mountains, we faced many obstacles. Many venomous snakes and wolves. We met elephants and tigers, these various animals. You can say a terrible experience. But we didn't stop, we kept going.
After three days,
We have almost reached the Hundred Hills. But Uncle Steven suddenly fell ill. Uncle Steven suddenly fell ill with a black fever. But luckily we have medicine. We are giving medicine to Uncle Steven. It will take about a day or two for him to recover.
We still went ahead, aiming for the river, and found a cave beside it where we are now. Jack and Uncle are inside the cave. I'm out looking for some food. Jack and I are preparing our food now that Uncle Steven is sick. In fact, as it is a mountainous area, we sometimes see many caves here and there are many wild animals in such caves. I am now looking for that somewhere if I can find anything.
After proceeding some distance near a cave, I saw burning wood lying. I became serious after seeing this. It means someone is here. The burning wood doesn't look old, it could be a day old. That means someone was here the day before. It's really worrying. We are not alone in this forest. There are more people with us in this forest.
The soil in the forest was still wet from the rain so I can see footprints. From what I could tell, there was not one, but many people here. They leave this cave and proceed towards the forest. We needed to be more careful. Because I don't know why, but I felt that these were the people who were following us in the City.
I left the cave and went back to our cave. When I came near the cave, I looked at the water. Previously, I set a trap in the water. So, I wanted to see if there were any fish. When I looked at the river, I suddenly felt danger from behind. Wasting no time, I quickly jumped away. Instantly I saw a person with a stick. His target was probably in my head.
Wasting no time, I quickly jumped toward him. How can I let him escape? The guy tried to fight me, but his strength wasn't enough to fight me. We just had one punch. I made him unconscious. Then I carefully look around. I don't think he was alone. His teammate was nearby.
For a few minutes, I searched around, but did not see any humans. But I saw footsteps. So my guess was right, he wasn't alone. Probably all of his teammates escaped after realizing my strength.
I went back to my previous spot. The unconscious guys were still here. First, I check the trap. Two big fish were there. This was enough for dinner. So I took the fish and also took the guy, then went back to my cave.
In the cave, Jack was waiting for me. When he noticed me entering the cave, he came to me but then got surprised.
"Devin, who is this person?" He asked me.
"I don't know who this person is. Previously, he tried to attack me, so I knocked him out and brought him here. Jack, I think those people who we saw in the City are also here. They probably somehow got to know about our location or it was just a coincidence." I explained to him.
Hearing my explanation, Jack also got serious. It was natural to become serious.
"What should we do then?" Jack asked me.
"For now, we need to be careful about our surroundings. They would probably try to sneak attack us. So we need to be careful about that." I told him. He nodded, hearing my words. Then both of us looked at the guy. The guy was still unconscious. We tied his hands and feet well with a rope and we started preparing dinner. Uncle Steven is much healthier than before. It looks like he will be fully recovered by tomorrow.
After some time, our dinner was ready, and Jack and Uncle Steven started eating dinner.
"It will take a good watch tonight. I think those people have found our address and they will come to our cave tonight." I told them. Uncle Steven didn't recover fully, so Jack and I were the ones who guard the cave.
Suddenly, I hear a sound coming from behind. Instantly, I turned around and saw that the unconscious guy was now awake.
