Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

"Yu Feng, make sure your torch doesn't go out. If necessary, set fire to the fallen leaves on the ground. We absolutely cannot lose our fire!"

Lin Beichen gritted his teeth and gave an order to Yu Feng, who was standing to the side.

Yu Feng looked at Black Tiger not far away and nodded. Lin Beichen could even see his legs trembling.

Even so, Lin Beichen did not blame him. After all, in this situation, it was already quite good for an ordinary person to be able to stand firm.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Beichen hurled the nearly burnt-out wooden stick at Black Tiger, and at the same time, he charged toward Black Tiger like an arrow released from a bow.

"Ow—!"

Seeing that Lin Beichen dared to charge at it, the black tiger seemed to have suffered a great humiliation and also charged at Lin Beichen.

Along the way, it even slightly turned to dodge the torch thrown by Lin Beichen.

Although it dodged the torches, its speed did not decrease at all. When the tiger was still some distance away from Lin Beichen, it leaped high into the air and pounced down on him.

Lin Beichen gripped his dagger tightly and leaped to the left of Black Tiger, simultaneously stabbing the dagger fiercely into Black Tiger's belly.

Sure enough, Black Tiger wasn't agile enough to turn in mid-air.

Lin Beichen's dagger plunged deep into Black Tiger's left side belly until only the hilt remained protruding.

However, Black Tiger was not to be trifled with. The moment Lin Beichen's dagger pierced its body, Black Tiger reacted.

With a flick of its tail, it lashed out at Lin Beichen.

In the relatively peaceful rainforest, a muffled "thud!" echoed far and wide.

"Boss!"

Seeing this, Yu Feng became very anxious and grabbed a torch, intending to rush towards Lin Beichen.

But as soon as he made a move, Lin Beichen's constant coughing reached his ears: "Cough cough cough... Don't come any closer!"

If Yu Feng were to come over now, Black Tiger wouldn't hesitate to attack!

As soon as Lin Beichen finished speaking, Yu Feng froze on the spot. His leg, which was about to step out, almost caused him to lose his balance and fall due to Lin Beichen's forceful control.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

As soon as Lin Beichen finished speaking, he coughed violently and eventually coughed up a glob of bright red blood.

The fierce strike from the black tiger's tail just now felt like Lin Beichen had been hit hard by a speeding train, causing him extreme discomfort.

It was fortunate that Lin Beichen wasn't knocked away.

"Ow—!"

After being injured, the black tiger became extremely ferocious. Its eyes, which had originally glowed blue, were now filled with violence and killing intent. Lin Beichen couldn't help but feel a little scared when he saw this.

The sense of oppression emanating from wild beasts is unparalleled by humans, and it seems to contain a fear inherited from blood.

"Boss, how about... we use a gun?" Yu Feng's voice came from behind.

Lin Beichen did not respond. Instead, he quickly stood up, ignoring his previous wounds, gripped his dagger, and charged at Black Tiger again.

In this narrow space, firearms are practically useless; even if you want to use a gun, you have to keep a distance.

This is not because of sayings like "a gun is faster within ten paces," but because all hunters know that wild animals are difficult to kill with a single shot, and wounded wild animals often become even more ferocious.

Wild animals struggle for survival every day in their natural environment, while humans live in their comfort zone; the two are simply incomparable.

Even a human being, as long as they have a strong will, can still fight back after being shot, unless the injury is to a fatal part such as the head or heart.

Most people simply cannot endure that kind of pain and are unable to retaliate.

Wild animals struggle for survival every day, and their pain tolerance and reaction to pain are far superior to those of humans.

This is why hunters will not hesitate to shoot at male wild boars, but dare not easily shoot at female wild boars or wounded wild boars.

If wild beasts cannot be killed in one blow, what awaits humans is their frenzied revenge.

Moreover, the use of firearms nowadays will inevitably affect combat effectiveness due to factors such as recoil.

A few meters is nothing more than a matter of seconds for a wild animal.

Lin Beichen and Yu Feng simply did not have the time to react or draw their knives to fight back.

Just then, Black Tiger rushed up to Lin Beichen. Without hesitation, Lin Beichen flashed to Black Tiger's left and stabbed the dagger at the spot where it had been stabbed before.

"Ow—!"

As expected, the dagger pierced Black Tiger's belly once again.

Having already sustained the previous wound, Lin Beichen didn't have as much trouble stabbing in this time. Instead, he pushed forward forcefully, widening the wound horizontally, and the beast's blood gushed out like a spring.

Black Tiger let out a miserable cry and turned to bite Lin Beichen's arm hard.

Lin Beichen touched the ground with his toes, leaped up, and kicked Black Tiger hard in the neck, using the momentum to move a few steps to the side in the direction of Yu Feng.

"Boss... are you alright?" Yu Feng quickly ran to Lin Beichen, who had fallen to the ground. As he helped Lin Beichen up, his finger was tightly gripping the trigger. If Black Tiger dared to take a step forward, he would definitely shoot without hesitation.

Fortunately, the black tiger seemed to be quite intelligent and was afraid of the gun in Yu Feng's hand. For a moment, it did not dare to go forward, but just stared coldly at the gun in Yu Feng's hand and licked its wounds on its own.

Its gaze was filled with murderous intent and coldness; even across species, that chilling feeling could be clearly felt and transmitted into one's mind.

"Boss, how about..." Yu Feng took a deep breath. At this moment, Lin Beichen's chest was stained red, obviously the wound from before could not be stopped from bleeding.

If this continues, Lin Beichen is at risk of fainting due to excessive blood loss.

Yu Feng wasn't worried that the two of them would die. He still had a grenade on his waist, and if he wanted to escape regardless, with the gun in his hand, it wouldn't be a problem at all.

"Ow—!"

Just as Lin Beichen got up from the ground, a loud tiger roar echoed through the forest, and the black tiger pounced on Lin Beichen and Yu Feng again.

This time, Lin Beichen had no time to react!

"Whoosh-!"

Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from somewhere, and an arrow pierced the black tiger's eye socket with pinpoint accuracy.

"Ow—!"

Black Tiger roared, staring coldly into the darkness in the distance, crouching low as if ready to leap at any moment.

"Tama..."

A series of female voices that Lin Beichen and Yu Feng couldn't understand entered their ears, and footsteps could be heard in the darkness.

Lin Beichen subconsciously tightened his grip on the gun, his brows furrowed.

Before they arrived, they had already gathered information that there were no residents in this rainforest, and the newcomers were most likely accomplices of the Viper gang or smugglers.

In the rainforest, humans are often more terrifying than wild beasts, which is why Lin Beichen didn't want to fire his gun before!

"Are you merchants passing through?"...

There was no response, and the female voice in the darkness switched to more fluent Chinese.

While remaining vigilant against the Black Tiger who could attack at any moment, Lin Beichen replied, "No, we are lost soldiers."

Lin Beichen and Yu Feng were both wearing camouflage uniforms, and with the help of the firelight, it was not difficult for the other party to tell them apart. It was obviously impossible to lie and try to get away with it, so it was better to tell them the truth.

"puff--!"

As soon as Lin Beichen finished speaking, the air was torn apart again, and another arrow, its fletching slightly, was inserted into the black tiger's neck. "Awooo—!"

The black tiger seemed to be going berserk, but as soon as it made a move, its legs went weak and it almost collapsed.

Lin Beichen raised an eyebrow slightly. Clearly, the arrow that the woman had shot earlier was coated with some kind of anesthetic toxin.

"Are you soldiers?"

In the darkness, a woman slowly appeared, and as she spoke, she shot another arrow at the black tiger.

The black tiger was hit by an arrow again, but it did not attack. Instead, it let out a miserable cry, swayed, and finally collapsed to the ground, as if it had exhausted all its strength.

Lin Beichen could still see the black tiger's breathing rustling the leaves on the ground from afar, its wide-open tiger eyes filled with resentment.

"Ah."

Lin Beichen nodded and subconsciously touched the Type 95 rifle that was always hanging on his back with a rope.

"Maya, is that black tiger dead?"

A man's voice came from the jungle; judging from the voice, he was probably not very old.

Yu Feng, standing behind Lin Beichen, also felt a sense of impending doom. The two of them slowly retreated and finally leaned against a large tree.

This is the nearest cover for Lin Beichen and Yu Feng. If a conflict breaks out, the two will quickly hide behind the tree to launch a counterattack.

"He's already been hit by an arrow."

The woman named Maya turned on her flashlight and shone it on the fallen Black Tiger. At this moment, Lin Beichen could barely make out Maya's appearance.

She was dressed in a gray linen outfit and wore mud-covered sneakers. She wasn't particularly striking in appearance; on the contrary, her skin was a wheatish-brown, and her otherwise ordinary face made her the kind of person you'd easily lose in a crowd.

"Are you soldiers from a neighboring country?"

A short while later, two men, one old and one young, emerged from the woods. Both were dressed in similarly simple clothes. The younger man appeared to be in his early twenties, while the older man had a full head of white hair and looked to be around sixty years old. It was the older man who spoke.

Lin Beichen did not answer, but simply nodded.

Seeing that Lin Beichen remained silent, the old man didn't ask any more questions. He simply gestured to the young man beside him to carefully walk towards the black tiger not far away.

Approaching Black Tiger, the old man pulled out a curved knife more than a meter long from his waist and stabbed it viciously into Black Tiger's neck.

The black tiger didn't even have time to let out a mournful howl before it died.

After doing all this, the old man turned around and said, "If I remember correctly, that river is the border. You must have crossed the border, right?"

His spoken English was a bit stiff, but Lin Beichen and Yu Feng could still understand what he meant.

"We chased several international criminals here, and after a firefight, we lost our way."

Lin Beichen simplified the matter and explained what had happened to the other party.

“I see you are badly injured. In your current condition, you probably won’t be able to cross the river. Why don’t you come back to our temporary camp with us? We have prepared some simple wound medicine, which may be helpful to you.”

The old man gave Lin Beichen a friendly smile.

Upon hearing this, Maya smiled and added to Lin Beichen and the other person, "Don't worry, we mean no harm."

"This black tiger has eaten many villagers from nearby villages. We were asked by those villagers to hunt the tiger."

As Maya finished speaking, Yu Feng and Lin Beichen exchanged a glance and finally nodded.

As things stand, if the other party wants to harm Lin Beichen and his companion, they are powerless to resist, since both of them are currently injured.

"it is good."

Lin Beichen nodded.

As soon as Lin Beichen finished speaking, the three of them began to deal with the black tiger's corpse on the ground.

The group acted quickly, skinning the black tiger and then gesturing for Lin Beichen and the others to leave.

Yu Feng looked at the black tiger's corpse on the ground, swallowed hard, but seeing that the others were about to leave, he clearly wanted to say something but hesitated.

Are you hungry?

Maya covered her mouth and laughed when she saw Yu Feng's expression, then took a small cloth bag from her waist and handed it to Yu Feng.

Seeing this, Yu Feng turned his gaze to Lin Beichen.

"Take it."

Maya clearly saw that the two were in favor of Lin Beichen. Seeing that Yu Feng was unmoved, she quickly walked up to Lin Beichen and slapped the cloth bag in her hand into his hand.

"Thank you."

Lin Beichen didn't stand on ceremony. He opened the cloth bag the other party handed him, and inside were several pieces of slightly dark-colored dried meat. Lin Beichen took out one piece and handed the rest to Yu Feng behind him.

The jerky was very hard and chewy, but it didn't resemble any other jerky Lin Beichen had ever eaten.

The two ate quickly, and in no time, the bag of dried meat was devoured by Lin Beichen and his companion.

"Hahaha!"……

Seeing the two grown men walking along, frantically munching on jerky like little mice, Maya burst into laughter.

"Ma Li, bring me the dried meat."

As if anticipating that the two hadn't eaten enough, Maya called out to the young man walking ahead.

Without hesitation, the man took the cloth bag off his waist and threw it to Maya.

"What kind of meat is this jerky made of? I don't think I've ever tasted this kind of meat before."

Lin Beichen didn't stand on ceremony. He took the dried meat from Maya, took out a piece, and handed the rest to Yu Feng.

The jerky had a rather unique gamey smell when chewed, but it wasn't the same as mutton. Lin Beichen couldn't taste any seasoning in the jerky, yet it inexplicably gave him the illusion that it was just the right amount of salty.

"This is made with wild rabbit meat."

Maya seemed very talkative, and with a smile, she told Lin Beichen and Yu Feng about how to make jerky.

It actually involves catching a wild rabbit, bleeding it, and then smoking it with a special type of wood.

They would prepare this kind of dried meat in advance before entering the forest. The two bags that Lin Beichen and Yu Feng just ate were actually their daily rations.

Lin Beichen and Yu Feng also learned from them that the nearest village was thirty miles away. They had chased the black tiger all the way here to prevent it from continuing to harm the villagers.

Normally, no one would come to the forest where Lin Beichen and Yu Feng are now.

"As far as I know, there have been many people smuggling contraband into our country recently."

Seeing that the other party was talkative, Lin Beichen started chatting with them as well.

The immediate concern isn't whether they can catch the venomous snake; that's a matter for further consideration. Lin Beichen and Yu Feng's immediate task is simply to return to their unit as quickly as possible and report this news to their superiors.

Given Lin Beichen and Yu Feng's current physical condition, let alone chasing after the escaped Poisonous Snake and his gang, even if they were to run with their old equipment and carry heavy loads, they would definitely collapse within three miles.

"I know what you're talking about. It was done by an organization called Rock."

When Maya mentioned "rocks," her tone became noticeably somber.

Because she was walking ahead of them, Lin Beichen and Yu Feng couldn't see her expression for a moment. (End of Chapter)
