"Go on! Bite it! Fight with all your might!"
As the situation on the field grew intense, the audience in the stands couldn't sit still. They all wanted to get closer to watch. Fortunately, the administrators, who were used to such scenes, remained calm and did their duty to manage the crowd, preventing them from violating the rules and getting too close.
The noise from the stands caught Su Yanke's attention. She looked at the stands and, for some reason, an idea popped into her head.
The snake, failing to bite Su Yanke, shifted its target. It was then attracted by the nearby leopard. The leopard's wounds hadn't healed yet, and its movement was somewhat restricted, making it an easy target for the snake.
Soon, the battle between them began.
At the same time, the black bear on the side lost its patience and started attacking Su Yanke.
Thanks to her agility, Su Yanke easily dodged the bear's attacks. Frustrated by its failure, the bear turned its attention to the poisoned Yuan Hexiao, hoping to satisfy its hunger. It raised its paw and swiped at Yuan Hexiao.
The black bear was extremely powerful. If it landed a blow, Yuan Hexiao would surely be seriously injured or even killed.
Su Yanke couldn't just stand by and watch. She dashed forward in a flash and clawed at the bear's back, tearing off a large chunk of bloody flesh.
The bear let out a pained roar and forgot about Yuan Hexiao for a moment. It charged straight at Su Yanke in a fit of rage. This was exactly the moment Su Yanke had been waiting for. Taking advantage of her running speed and the bear's height, she pulled down several people from the stands.
Those people were initially shocked to see a lion protecting an injured tiger. They were so amazed by this incredible act that they instinctively leaned forward to get a better look. Little did they know that they would be pulled down by Su Yanke.
This caused a huge commotion. The scene was in chaos, with screams echoing everywhere. The competition was forced to end, and Su Yanke was locked in a large cage that descended from the sky. She watched as Yuan Hexiao was injected with serum by the staff and taken away. Knowing that he would survive, she felt relieved.
Su Yanke used her body to cushion the fall of the people who were pulled down, so they only suffered from shock and were not seriously injured.
Su Yanke didn't know what would happen next. Her cage was covered with a black cloth and dragged away.
After an unknown amount of time, the black cloth was finally removed. Su Yanke looked at the familiar scene in front of her. It was the same courtyard as before.
It seemed that she had been bought. This place was even bigger than she had imagined!
"Is this the one that pulled people down from the high stands?" a fat - faced man asked while sizing up Su Yanke.
The person in front of him nodded repeatedly, confirming it.
"What's the use of keeping this disobedient brute?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Someone, get the tools and kill it."
Su Yanke knew that she was in trouble as soon as she heard this. She quickly calculated her chances of survival in the upcoming fight, but when she saw their "tools", her confidence vanished.
There were electric batons, bayonets, iron chains, and all kinds of knives. Su Yanke could easily imagine their execution steps. First, they would pierce her limbs with bayonets to prevent her from moving. Then, they would use electric batons to stun her until she lost the ability to resist. After that, they would tie her up tightly with iron chains and finally skin her alive to sell the fur for money.
Just thinking about it made her whole body ache. Su Yanke's heart rate accelerated as they got closer, and she didn't notice that the purple copper coin in her palm started to heat up again, and its color faded a bit.
Just as the bayonet was about to pierce her limbs, the ground began to shake violently.
A commotion came from not far away, and a tiger rushed towards Su Yanke. At first, Su Yanke thought it was Yuan Hexiao, but upon closer inspection, it wasn't.
Just as she felt a sense of inexplicable disappointment, Yuan Hexiao's voice echoed in her mind: "Don't be afraid. I'm coming."
Hearing this, Su Yanke instinctively looked up to find Yuan Hexiao's figure and saw another tiger charging out behind the first one.
It was Yuan Hexiao!
The people here were initially startled, but they quickly reacted and came up with a counter - plan. Several groups were dispatched, and all kinds of tools were used. But this tiger seemed either not to feel pain or had become accustomed to it. It ran tirelessly.
Despite all the obstacles, the tiger managed to break through the fences and smash open the iron gate, running out.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and chase it!"
No one here had expected that the tiger would be so powerful. Even after suffering so many injuries, it could still break open the gate and escape.
"What's going on?" Su Yanke asked Yuan Hexiao in a daze, looking at this sudden turn of events.
Yuan Hexiao had distracted a large number of people and attracted their attention to help the other tiger. After seeing the tiger get out, he stopped resisting. Looking at the unharmed Su Yanke, he let out a sigh of relief and said,
"After the poison was cured, I heard that you were in danger. So I caused a ruckus in the nursing department and came to rescue you. On the way, I saw that tiger about to be locked in a cage. I used it to create more chaos.没想到 its desire to get out was even stronger than I thought. As a way to repay it, I helped it get out."
"Keep a close eye on it!" the fat - faced man said, looking at Yuan Hexiao with cold eyes, as if he was used to such things and didn't care at all.
Then he took out a dagger from his waist and rushed towards Yuan Hexiao, trying to stab him.
"Yuan Hexiao, run! Don't worry about me. Otherwise, neither of us will survive!" Su Yanke shouted at the top of her lungs.
But Yuan Hexiao calmly said, "Don't be afraid. I have a backup plan. They don't have time to deal with us."
As soon as Yuan Hexiao finished speaking, a large number of small animals rushed towards the door. All kinds of animals were scurrying around, and the scene was in complete chaos.
"What's going on? Why did they all run out? Hurry up and catch them!!"
While Su Yanke was watching the chaos, the people who had gone to chase the tiger came back, bringing the tiger with them.
Su Yanke's excitement disappeared instantly. The once - valiant tiger was now lying limp in the cage, motionless.
"Boss, this tiger is at the end of its life. It can no longer perform."
"Why not? It was fine before."
"After it ran out, it was hit by a car several times. Finally, with the help of the police, it was injected with anesthesia and brought back. The nursing department checked and found that several of its internal bones were broken."
"Police!"
"Don't worry, boss. We told them it was a tiger that escaped from the zoo, and they didn't suspect anything."
The fat - faced man said indifferently, "That's good. What are you waiting for? Send it to the zoo. Don't let those policemen get suspicious."
But just as they were about to drive away, Su Yanke saw the tiger half - opening its eyes, looking at the gate, and unwillingly taking its last breath.
It didn't die peacefully, but that was the happiest and freest run of its life, moving forward without a destination, following the direction of its heart.
"Boss, it's dead."
"Dead? Then hurry up and dispose of it! What a waste. Its fur would have been best if skinned alive. I'm going to lose some money. Ugh, bad luck."
At this time, a man whispered something in the fat - faced man's ear.
After listening, the fat - faced man looked at Yuan Hexiao with extreme hatred.
"So it was you, you little brute, causing all this trouble! I'll kill you!"
After the fat - faced man finished speaking, his subordinates instinctively controlled Yuan Hexiao. The fat - faced man picked up an electric baton and was about to hit Yuan Hexiao.
Su Yanke roared heart - rendingly on the side. She rammed into the iron cage desperately, but it was all in vain.
She could only watch helplessly as Yuan Hexiao was tortured, feeling completely powerless.
"Don't be afraid. I'll be okay," Yuan Hexiao's voice echoed in Su Yanke's mind again. In this situation, Yuan Hexiao's first concern was Su Yanke's feelings, so he quickly comforted her.
The electric baton hit Yuan Hexiao's body, and his body twitched violently. Soon, the smell of burnt flesh filled the air.
The fat - faced man grinned and said, "I'll skin you alive today and use your meat for hot pot. Hahaha!"
"No! No! Don't! You brutes!!" Su Yanke's eyes turned bright red, and her emotions were on the verge of collapse.
The purple copper coin in her palm glowed again, but it no longer felt hot. Its color had started to turn transparent.
Just as the fat - faced man was about to act, a man ran out, out of breath, and said, "Boss, boss, wait a minute. This tiger is useful!"
"What use?"
"The previous audience was very curious about the actions of the lion and the tiger. They hope to see them again next time, and there are a lot of people buying tickets."
After hearing this, the fat - faced man thought for a while and put down the knife in his hand. He then told his subordinates to take Su Yanke away and send Yuan Hexiao to the nursing department for treatment. After all, these were money - making assets, and the fat - faced man never refused money.
Su Yanke watched as Yuan Hexiao disappeared from sight. Her emotions had taken over her rationality, and she was extremely furious.
The fat - faced man then told his subordinates to bring a tiger. He wanted to see if another tiger could replace Yuan Hexiao. He didn't want to wait for Yuan Hexiao to recover before training. He hoped to start training soon because money wouldn't wait.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the tiger was put into the cage, it was torn to pieces by Su Yanke. Seeing that it was useless, the fat - faced man could only tell the nursing department to treat the injuries quickly and not delay the training.
After venting her emotions, Su Yanke regained her senses. The intense emotional fluctuations and physical exertion made her so exhausted that she fainted.
Just when Su Yanke's emotions were at their most intense, a fragment of the purple copper coin in the white - robed man's room emitted a bright light at the same time.
The white - robed man immediately sensed something strange. He stared at the purple copper coin, stunned.
"Is... is it you who's back?" the white - robed man murmured softly.
