Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Chapter 297 The Rustling of the Night

Wang Yuyu, hiding in the shadows, saw everything the two men under the tree did. He thought to himself, "These two are quite wary; they're ready to grab anything at the slightest sound. They're going to be troublesome!"

"However, what they're holding shouldn't be guns; the shape doesn't match, and the way they're holding them is wrong!"

Having figured this out, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a mixture of disdain and pride, "Daring to trespass on my territory without a gun and even dare to do bad things, they're really asking for trouble. Don't they know whose territory this is!"

He slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the bushes surrounding them, which formed a dense natural barrier in various places.

Wang Yu couldn't help but bare his teeth, feeling a bit worried: "Damn, these two guys really know how to pick a spot. With so many obstacles, it's impossible to sneak past without making a sound!"

"Those two are already wary. If I make even the slightest noise, they'll definitely notice, and they might even retaliate!"

"What should we do? We need to find a solution!"

Wang Yuyu turned his head, his super intelligence working at lightning speed, calculating feasible attack routes.

Should we go around to the left?

The bushes are too dense; they're easy to spot!

Charge past on the right?

Too far away, and they'll be easily spotted!

A direct, frontal assault?

That's too risky.

After some deliberation, his extraordinary wisdom provided the answer: Why think so much!

Just do it!

They don't have guns, and it's dark now with poor visibility, so they can't see me at all. They're completely at my mercy!

"Let's do it!" Wang Yuyu's eyes instantly turned cold and dangerous, filled with murderous intent.

He lowered his body and slowly approached the two people under the tree.

Despite his carefulness, the bushes were too dense, and his massive body still accidentally grazed a thin branch.

With a soft "click," Guan Heping, who was under the tree, instantly became alert and almost instinctively grabbed the flashlight next to him and shone it over.

Fortunately, Wang Yu reacted extremely quickly. The moment he heard the sound, he immediately lay down, pressed himself tightly against the ground, and quickly closed his eyes to prevent them from reflecting light and being discovered!

Guan Heping held the flashlight, sweeping the beam back and forth through the bushes for several minutes, but found nothing except swaying bushes and weeds, not even a trace of an animal.

Du Bochao, who had been sleeping, woke up immediately. Seeing that he hadn't found anything, he complained, "Heping, what are you doing?"

"You're so easily startled; you really live up to your name, you're not composed at all!"

"It's just the sound of wind rustling through the leaves. Is it really that scary to you?"

He yawned widely, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Stop being so paranoid, okay? Let me get some sleep, alright?"

Guan Heping remained vigilant, still pointing in the direction where Wang Yuyu was hiding, and earnestly said, "Bo Chao, there really is something approaching from there, I'm not lying to you!"

"That sound just now definitely wasn't the wind rustling leaves! I heard it clearly; it was something scraping against a branch, there's no mistake!"

He paused, a flicker of fear crossing his eyes. "You forgot? We saw tiger footprints during the day!"

"They're huge; they're clearly footprints of an adult Siberian tiger!"

"Maybe that tiger is lurking around here!"

"That commotion just now, it might have been caused by it!"

Du Bochao lay on the ground, waved his hand impatiently, and said nonchalantly, "Heping, stop scaring yourself!"

"Tigers generally don't dare approach us! Even if they are nearby, they'll at most observe from a distance!"

"We're surrounded by bushes and obstacles on all sides. Even if a tiger comes, we'll definitely spot it beforehand!"

"These bushes will buy us some time. Then we can just climb the trees. No matter how strong the tiger is, it won't be able to get up there, so what can it do to us?"

He yawned again, his tone even more languid, "Just relax, let me get some sleep. I'm exhausted after a long day!"

Guan Heping's face was full of struggle, his eyes still scanning the surroundings warily: "But I really heard something. Just now, it seemed like something was slowly approaching, nearby. That sense of oppression was definitely not an illusion!"

He turned to Du Bochao, his tone pleading, "Bochao, why don't you stay awake and keep watch with me for a while!"

"You can sleep after you're sure everything's alright. I'm really worried!"

Seeing Guan Heping's tense expression, which didn't seem like he was lying, Du Bochao sighed helplessly, forced his tired body to sit up, and said with a resentful look:

"Alright, alright, I'll keep watch with you for a while!"

"I'm really fed up with you. You get scared out of your wits at the slightest sound. You shouldn't work here anymore; you're too timid!"

"Hehe!" Guan Heping chuckled awkwardly, quickly turning off his flashlight to avoid revealing their location. "When we get back, I'll treat you to some good wine and a big meal!"

The two leaned against the tree trunk side by side, no longer speaking, but staring wide-eyed and listening intently to every movement around them.

Wang Yu hid in the shadows, holding her breath and concentrating until the surroundings were completely quiet, with no more beams of flashlight sweeping over her and no more sounds of the two people talking, before she dared to slowly open her eyes.

Amber eyes gleamed faintly in the night, their gaze fixed intently on the two figures leaning against the tree trunk through the gaps between the intertwined branches.

"Damn, these two are really vigilant. They almost spotted me just now!"

"Luckily, I reacted quickly, otherwise this surprise attack would have been a complete failure!"

He suppressed his agitation, lay back down, and waited patiently: "Wait a little longer. We can't rush it. We'll make our move when one of them falls asleep and lets their guard down!"

"We'll catch them off guard and get a double kill, saving them a lot of trouble!"

His keen ears could clearly hear the rapid heartbeats of the two people under the tree trunk. Clearly, they were both still awake, not truly letting their guard down, and silently observing their surroundings.

Wang Yuyu remained calm and lay there quietly, waiting for the most opportune moment.

Time passed by, and the only sounds in the forest were the rustling of leaves in the evening breeze, the chirping of insects, and the soft breathing of the two people.

Half an hour later, Du Bochao finally couldn't hold on any longer, and exhaustion swept over his entire body.

He let out a long yawn, rubbed his bloodshot eyes, and said, "Peace, there's been no movement for so long, you must have guessed wrong. There's no tiger, you're just too nervous."

"I'm going to sleep now, I'm so sleepy, I really can't stay awake any longer."

"Hmm!" Guan Heping responded softly.

After so much time had passed, the surroundings were indeed completely silent, without even the slightest unusual sound. He gradually relaxed, thinking that he had just been too nervous and misheard the noise, and his vigilance lessened a bit.
