Chapter 1051: Bai Yuqiao senses something amiss (1/2)

Amidst the chaos of storming arrows, the two tigers brought Manager Jin and the rest into the forest. But it wasn’t long before Mu Linger and the rest caught the strong stench of blood. A slaughter seemed to have taken place here. However, the forest was so dense and the morning sun so weak that they couldn’t see any details. Nor was there time to ask questions. The arrows behind them kept pressing on while a large commotion had risen from both sides of the forest, apparently from soldiers chasing them here.

Many times, an arrow would fly by and miss them by inches. Fortunately the tigers were in charge of escape, leaving them free to guard against the threat from their backs. All of them, including Manager Jin, had basic martial arts skills at best.

The group of people soon left the forest behind to emerge upon an open plain, but Mu Linger was stunned by the sight before her. This was nothing but Hell on Earth, with the ground covered in corpses and blood. At least 100 dead bodies laid there, all of them obviously Jun Yixie’s men. None of the bodies were intact and all of the wounds were turning black, as well as their blood. Heaven knows whether they died from poison or being torn to pieces?

Mu Linger and Ning JIng both felt queasy at the sight. They wanted to throw up multiple times, but Bai Yuqiao was too stunned to be nauseous. When did all these guards join Tiger’s Den? How come I didn’t know about it?

The reason this place was called Tiger’s Prison[1] was because giant white tigers stood guard over the premises. They made all other guards superfluous unless Jun Yixie was guarding against their escape any against any potential rescuers? Bai Yuqiao immediately sensed something amiss and began to analyze the situation.

At this time, most of the archers behind them had been dealt with by two more poison tigers. They soon caught up to stand in front of Manager Jin. Now there were five tigers total, but all of them had stopped without commands from him, as if they discovered something.

Seizing the chance, Bai Yuqiao asked, “Jin Zi, where’s the last tiger? How did you subdue them?”

From what Bai Yuqiao understood, Jun Yixie had raised a total of six poison tigers here, all of them with white fur and red eyes. They were unusually vicious and had already been turned to poison corpses. Compared to normal tigers, they were stronger and faster, so it wasn’t easy to kill them.

Manager Jin ignored the question and knitted his brow to listen intently to the right. Mu Linger, Ning Jing, and Bai Yuqiao exchanged looks, afraid to fidget. The baby in Mu Linger’s arms was already away and staring up curiously at her. Despite all the fuss, she didn’t cry, as if knowing the adults were escaping and needed silence. Mu Linger soon noticed and rejoiced as she told Ning Jing, “Big sis Jing, she’s awake, she’s awake. She’s looking atme!”

Ning Jing’s face was ashen as sweat dotted her brow. She seemed to be in a lot of pain, but still forced herself to smile at Mu Linger.

“Big sis Jing, let me give the baby to you,” Mu Linger said hastily.

But Ning Jing only shook her head. Before she could speak, her vision went black as she toppled forward! Thankfully, Bai Yuqiao pulled her back just in time!

The medicine from last night had already taken effect, so she didn’t look like a woman who had just given birth. However, that was only on the surface! Her body was in agony and almost too weak to keep on!

“Big sis Jing! Big sis Jing, what’s wrong?!” Mu Linger cried.

Bai Yuqiao held onto the unconscious woman and told Manager Jin, “Jin Zi, no matter what you’re planning, hurry and go! Ning Jing can’t hold on for much longer! She’s...she’s sick!”

Bai Yuqiao had no idea that Manager Jin already knew the truth, so she was still prudent before they were certain whether he was friend or foe. After all, he was no ordinary man if he could quell Jun Yixie’s tigers! Just what were his origins? These weren’t just any ordinary tigers, but ones turned into poison corpses. Yet Manger Jin still managed to make them betray Jun Yixie. She wondered if the two men had some sort of connection.

Mu Linger was embarrassed and wanted to explain, only for a giant white tiger to dash out from their right with Su Xiaoyu on its back! However, she was covered in blood and the tiger was injured. It was even missing a huge chunk of flesh from its hind leg!

“There’s...there’s an army of poison corpses back there! They’re almost her!” Su Xiaoyu gasped. If not for the tiger’s protection and her own poison arts, she would’ve been a goner!

“Jun Yixie placed poison corpses in ambush?” Bai Yuqiao was alarmed. Just what is he planning? Why did he put those corpses at Tiger’s Prison? Six tigers are already enough, but he added so many guards and those things too!

Could it be that he’s guarding against Han Yunxi and Long Feiye? Or were they placed just to deal with the couple? As if recalling something, Bai Yuqiao grew uneasy.

“We have to leave as soon as we can!” Manager Jin said before blowing a whistle! In a flash, all of the tigers grew alert. Yet before they could run, the poison corpses from the right had already caught up. There were 20 of them total, all with livid, pale faces and expressionless faces like suicide soldiers. They surrounded them on the right just as more guards appeared from the left. Fortunately, the archers had already been dealt with behind them.
