Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1197: Chapter 1198: Bringing About Something Terrible

There was another possibility—if there was no threat to her, given her personality, she would have definitely dealt with it on the spot before calling him.

Therefore, Meng Xinian immediately concluded.

Chiang Xiao had encountered someone.

She was threatened.

Given her skills, there were only two possibilities for someone to threaten her, one being that there were more people than she could handle, at least eight, and they would also need to be skilled.

The other possibility was that the other party had weapons.

He leaned toward this latter possibility.

Because if it was a matter of numbers, she could have held on for a while, just shouting for him to come over would have been enough to explain the situation, unless the other party’s weapons posed a suppression threat to her, making it inconvenient for her to tell him directly.

He immediately leaped up and dashed towards the direction of the voice.

Chiang Xiao waited a short moment, calculated the time, and then shouted again, ”Brother, there are venomous snakes here!”

Meng Xinian heard her voice again and pinpointed her exact location,

Venomous snakes meant lethal danger.

As he was almost there, he took a detour instead of heading straight towards Chiang Xiao.

As Chiang Xiao spoke, she took a bit of Spiritual Spring Water from the ”Space” and dampened her hands.

No one saw her do this.

The Spiritual Spring Water in her hands emitted a magical attraction that irresistibly drew animals.

Just as Meng Xinian had taken a bit of a detour to locate the threat first, many animals and wild beasts around Chiang Xiao began to be drawn towards her by the lure of the Spiritual Spring Water.

Bearded Man and Thin Tall Guy were hiding in different places, and it wasn’t long before they felt moving bushes and grass around them, as if someone was approaching.

”Damn, is this girl deceiving us? Has she brought a lot of people over?” Thin Tall Guy muttered to himself.

Suddenly, he sensed something behind him. Whirling around, he came face-to-face with a pair of brown eyes.

”Oh my God! A tiger!”

Thin Tall Guy let out a trembling scream and stumbled out from his hiding spot.

Chiang Xiao quickly dried her hands.

She was baffled.

A tiger?

There were tigers deep in Bai Gu Mountain, which she knew long ago.

After all, her grandfather and Chiang Songtao had both seen tigers and tiger cubs before.

But she hadn’t expected to see one here!

Or was it another creature drawn by her Spiritual Spring Water?

The tiger moved faster, having outrun the other animals?

She immediately screamed as well and ran towards a direction. She had spotted Meng Xinian’s figure just now. It was time to join up with him.

Meng Xinian was supposed to spend a while longer to locate the threat, but this unexpected turn of events caught him off guard.

He stopped and watched as Chiang Xiao ran towards him.

”Bang!”

A gunshot sounded.

Meng Xinian’s expression tensed. The other party had a gun!

”Stop!”

”Ah, a snake!”

”Shoot, shoot!”

Two male voices followed, both panicked and flustered.

The command to stop was directed at Chiang Xiao.

Chiang Xiao actually did stop.

With a flick of her hand, a drop of Spiritual Spring Water landed on Thin Tall Guy’s clothes, then she immediately turned and ran again.

Thin Tall Guy was about to shout at her to stop when a dark figure pounced. Terrified, he bolted. He had clearly hit the tiger with that shot earlier! How was it not dead?

”Ah! Help!”
