…
The mountain was very high. The Mailong Private Military Group decided to leave in the middle of the night. They were moving faster this time, trying their best to get away from the White Predator's territory.
They walked all the way until the afternoon of the second day. Sufficient sunlight shone on the rising and falling mountain, making the great rift valley a little warmer.
"It's been a while since I've been under the sun. I miss the Middle East," a mercenary wearing a hat said.
"I bet you're just missing your new girlfriend's warm E-cup breasts," another mercenary said with an evil grin.
"Haha, you're right. To be honest, she's still a little indifferent to me. After making a fortune this time, I'll go back and enjoy myself for a few times before dumping her. I'll look good with a new face!" The mercenary in the hat laughed.
As he spoke, a cold shadow slowly appeared above the mercenary's head. Then, a pair of intimidating eyes appeared, revealing an indifference as if looking at food.
"Enemy!" the mercenary yelled.
"Whoosh!"
The voice was like the wind, and in the blink of an eye, the figure that blocked the sunlight had disappeared. When he began to search the nearby piles of rocks, there was nothing except for some leaves that were still spinning around.
"Where's the enemy?"
"I saw it just a moment ago. It's over there," the mercenary said.
A ball of Brilliant Light flew towards the direction the mercenary was pointing at. In an instant, it turned into a blazing white light, clearly illuminating that area.
The Brilliant Light was able to reveal a life form, especially when it was moving.
"Are you trying to trick us? We haven't had a good rest for the past few days. Do you know how much of our precious energy you're wasting?" the old mercenary scolded him.
"I … I'm sorry, Herault, you saw something too, right? I think we … Herault?" The mercenary turned around and saw Herault, who was talking to him just a moment ago, had disappeared!
He quickly looked around, but he still did not see Herault. The problem was, they were standing together just a moment ago. How did Herault disappear all of a sudden?
At this time, the other veteran mercenaries finally realized that something had indeed happened. They hurriedly gathered together.
…
"That's the third one today," Tommy said.
"Yeah, and there was a mercenary standing right next to Herault. Speaking of which, it's strange. With that guy's capabilities, he should be able to kill both of them in one go. Why did he disappear after killing only one?" Auburn asked.
"If that's the case, that guy's appetite should be around three per day," Kuma said.
When everyone heard this, they were immediately overwhelmed with shock.
Come to think of it, it was the third day in a row. That fellow had only captured three mercenaries and didn't kill any more. Even though it could have killed them all, it didn't.
"Damn it, that guy isn't keeping us captive, is he?" Auburn said.
"It's said that the Tianshan Demon Tigers prefer to eat fresh food. They won't even sniff the dead ones," Tommy whispered.
"In other words, that bastard is treating us as its mobile canteen!" Auburn said angrily.
"That is indeed the case."
Mobile insurance cafeteria, Mo Fan felt that this analogy was indeed very appropriate.
The Tianshan Demon Tiger was extremely cunning. It had its eyes on them since the beginning. It purposely picked on the mercenaries who were moving around the perimeter and dragged them away one by one. The only time it failed was when it was too close to Mu Ningxue.
However, even someone as strong as Mu Ningxue was unable to stop it, let alone the mercenaries. They did not even have time to react when the people around them were being dragged away.
"It's just a cowardly beast that only dares to move around the perimeter. Since it's full today, we'll keep an eye on it tonight. We'll lure it out tomorrow and make a pot of Tianshan Demon Tiger stew for everyone," Lu Xiu, the leader of the first group, said.
"Let's not let our guard down."
"Yeah, what if the guy wants to have an extra meal tonight? Herault is so skinny. He won't be able to take a few bites from the Tianshan Demon Tiger."
…
A bonfire was lit, and at night, the entire mountain valley seemed to be incomparably quiet.
"That guy is very smart. It seems to be able to roughly gauge our strength. It never comes close to us," Mofan said.
"At this rate, only a few of the Mailong Private Military Group will be left in just a few days. Isn't the death rate on Tianshan Mountain a little too high? Half of the strongest mercenary group in Asia has already died before we even reached the Glacier Valley," Jiang Yu said.
"What I don't understand is, how did the guy find us?" Guan Yu said.
"Wasn't it following us?" Jiang Shaoxu said.
"It didn't follow us, but no matter how far we went, it would always be able to find us on the second day. The Alpine Rift Valley is huge, and there are so many forks. Speaking of territories, we have already traveled quite a distance away from the creature's territory. How did it manage to track us down?" asked Guan Yu in confusion.
"Guan Yu, are you sure it wasn't following us?" Mofan asked.
"Definitely not. I even suspect that the guy will go back to its nest to take a nap after a good meal, and come back the next day when the sun rises," Guan Yu said.
"… Is this Tianshan Demon Tiger the eye of a satellite?" Zhao Manyan said.
"If we can figure out how it managed to track us down and shake it off, everyone will be safe," Guan Yu said.
"Or maybe we can take it down when it's preying on the next person," Mofan said.
"I don't think so. If it's that easy to take it down, Mu Ningxue would have subdued it already," Guan Yu said.
"You'll do your thing, and I'll do mine," Mofan said.
…
The members of the Mailong Private Military Group went on alert when the sun rose the next day. They slowed down a lot as a result.
They needed to be patrolling and scouting the area, and if they were too far away from the group, the Tianshan Demon Tiger would easily take them away.
The sun was shining brightly throughout the day, yet the Mailong Private Military Group did not see the Tianshan Demon Tiger. It did not show up even when night fell.
"Don't tell me it knows we're waiting for it?" Auburn wondered.
"It looks like it's going to go hungry today," Lu Xiu, the captain of the first team, smiled fearlessly.
