Zhongzhou.
It was almost dusk in a place with few people.
In the desolate mountains, there were overgrown shrubs and weeds that were about half the height of a person. It was summer, and thumb-sized mosquitoes were flying around in the forest.
“Pa …”
With a slight crisp sound, a faint mumble came from the forest.””Steward Wu, are you sure that evil beast will really pass by this place?”
If one looked closer, one would discover that in the forest near the stream, there were more than a dozen people crouching and staring at the stream below with full concentration.
These people were all men. Regardless of whether it was their clothing or appearance, they were all extremely simple. They looked like ordinary villagers, but each of them held a knife, fork, bow, arrow, and other weapons in their hands.
The person who spoke was a burly man. Because he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, his thick arms had been bitten by the mosquitoes in the mountains, and there were many red bumps.
The one called steward Wu was an old man wearing a silk headdress and a green robe. He obviously had a high status among the dozen people.
“Lower your voice,”

Steward Wu made a shushing gesture and said to the lean man,””Tian Peng, why Would I Lie to You? that evil beast comes here every evening to drink water, and it’s been repeating this process without stopping. You can ask li Liuzhi if you don’t believe me.“
The Li Liuzhi he was referring to was a thin middle-aged man with bright eyes.
“I can swear that I’ve been observing it for a month,” li six-finger said, nodding.”I’m not wrong.”
Hearing this, the crowd completely suppressed the irritation in their hearts. After all, li Liuzhi was a famous Hunter in Dongzhang village. He could draw a stone bow and never missed a shot.
A month ago, the village frequently lost people, and this incident even affected the county government. Official Zhang was forced to investigate under pressure.
In the end, it was found that there seemed to be a Tiger in the mountains, and the initiator of all this was this Tiger. For this reason, steward Zhang had to order steward Wu to mobilize the strength of the young men in the village to put a bounty on the Tiger.
Tian Peng rolled his eyes and stared at housekeeper Wu,”Steward Wu, if we really kill that evil beast, will each of us get ten taels of silver?”
As soon as he said that, everyone couldn’t help but look at steward Wu, their eyes full of excitement.
One tael of silver was equivalent to two thousand Wen, which could buy more than three hundred Jin of rice. If it was ten taels, it would be three thousand Jin of rice, enough for a family of five to eat for a year.
“Naturally!”
Housekeeper Wu stroked his beard and smiled.”Our Dongzhang village’s population is small to begin with. If we continue to let this Tiger continue to abuse us, we will be completely crippled. Don’t worry. If you can kill this Tiger, each of you will get ten taels of silver. The one who puts in the most effort will get twenty taels.”
Hearing that it was twenty taels, Tian Peng was so excited that he rubbed his fists and wiped his palms. He couldn’t wait to rush out and kill.
At this moment, he noticed that a dark-skinned man beside him was silent. He could not help but ask,””Old Zhang, what are you doing?”
The man named old Zhang was about 50 years old. At this age, he should not have appeared in the Tiger hunting team. However, because he was a well-known blacksmith in the village, he had trained his arm strength, so he was allowed to join.
After old Zhang came back to his senses, he said while grinding his teeth,””I’m thinking, after I get the money, should I find a marriage for my daughter …”
“With your cuihua’s big and fierce appearance, which man would dare to want her …” Tian Peng mumbled with a strange expression.
Old Zhang was about to reprimand him when li Liuzhi reminded him in a low voice,””Stop talking, there’s movement …”

The crowd immediately fell silent and looked in the direction of li Liuzhi’s gaze. They saw a faint shadow at the end of the tree shade below walking toward the stream.
After everyone could see it clearly, they realized that it was actually a Giant Tiger that was close to two meters in size. Its entire body was densely covered with colorful stripes.
“A piebald Tiger. This evil beast is a piebald Tiger …” Li Liuzhi said in a low voice.
“So it’s a valuable evil beast …”
Some people were shocked.
After a short while, the piebald Tiger walked to the stream and started to drink water. It obviously did not notice the people in the forest.
“It’s time! Kill!!!”
Taking advantage of the moment when the piebald Tiger lowered its head, Tian Peng shouted and took the lead in rushing out with a chopper.
As he rushed out, the remaining ten or so people also swarmed out, as if they had been infected by Tian Peng’s morale.
“Whoosh …”
At this moment, a sharp arrow shot out from the forest, heading straight for the piebald Tiger. It was obviously li Liuzhi.
He didn’t expect this arrow to kill the Tiger, because it wouldn’t appear in the world. He only needed to injure it and make it lose too much blood.
However, just as his arrow was about to hit the piebald Tiger, a Black Wall of air suddenly appeared on the surface of the piebald Tiger’s body, blocking the arrow.
“Not good!“
Li Liuzhi’s expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly stood up and roared,””This is a demonic Tiger that has cultivated its strength. Tian Peng, hurry up and come back!”
They were all ordinary people. They might be able to put up a fight against an ordinary Tiger, but if they were to face a demonic Tiger, they would definitely be unable to withstand a single blow …
In fact, he wasn’t the only one who had seen the scene just now. The others had also seen it. However, it was too late for them to turn back.
“Ang …”
A tiger’s roar broke through the forest. The piebald Tiger suddenly turned around, opened its mouth, and swallowed Tian Peng, who was at the front.
Crack, crack, crack …
With the sound of chewing, a living person was gone in an instant. The rest of the people screamed and shouted madly, pushing and shoving each other back.
“Aiyo, my foot, my foot …”
In his panic, old Zhang twisted his ankle and fell to the ground, trying to call for help.
However, in the midst of panic, how could the people who only wanted to escape save him?
Old Zhang’s entire body trembled as he looked at the piebald Tiger approaching him with its tail outstretched.
As if it was swallowing Tian Peng, it suddenly opened its mouth and bit at old Zhang.
Old Zhang closed his eyes in despair.
“Bang …”
At this moment, old Zhang suddenly heard a loud noise, as if something had fallen from the sky.
It was accompanied by the smell of blood.
“Oh my God, what is that?”
“It’s a human?”
The people who had run up the mountain looked back and saw a living person suddenly fall from the sky, smashing the piebald Tiger to death.
Old Zhang couldn’t help but open his eyes. What he saw was a bloody scene. The demon-like piebald Tiger was lying on the ground, almost out of shape.
On top of him, there was a person covered in blood. It seemed to be a man, but his eyes were closed. It was unknown whether he was Dead or Alive.
