Zheng Wei saw Shen Xiaoyan catching up and, without a word, strode to her side, taking her hand and walking forward together.
The two of them and the two beasts walked for more than a quarter of an hour before Hua Diandian, who was leading the way, finally stopped.
Shen Xiaoyan halted her steps and looked around, not seeing any trace of the two spotted tigers. But before she could ask Luoluo, she saw Hua Diandian walk towards a snowdrift.
Shen Xiaoyan then noticed that the snowdrift was somewhat abrupt, piled high as if blocking something.
Hua Diandian pushed the snowdrift away with its head, and Shen Xiaoyan then saw that it was an opening.
The entrance was not high, only about a meter, and it was dark inside. Even upon careful observation, the space was very small.
Shen Xiaoyan saw that on the ground inside the cave, curled up and huddled together, were the two spotted tigers she had seen before.
She didn't know how these two spotted tigers were injured, whether their injuries were very serious, and if they could be saved if they were truly severe. If she were to save them, how should she do it? With Zheng Wei still here, how could she take out spatial spring water?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Shen Xiaoyan's mind. After suppressing these thoughts, she saw Hua Diandian come out of the cave again, followed by the two big tigers.
Only when their bodies were completely outside did Shen Xiaoyan see that both of them were injured and still bleeding.
These injuries, some from claws and some from bites, clearly indicated that they had just had a fierce battle with some formidable creature.
"This..."
Before Shen Xiaoyan could finish speaking, she heard a dull roar. In the next second, she heard Zheng Wei say, "Mimi, you stay here. I'll go take a look. Don't leave, understand?"
Zheng Wei spoke very quickly and his voice was very stern. Shen Xiaoyan only had time to nod instinctively before she saw Zheng Wei turn around and walk quickly in one direction.
Luoluo followed behind Zheng Wei and also ran in that direction.
Shen Xiaoyan was a little worried, but because she had just promised Zheng Wei, she couldn't go to check.
Until the figures of Zheng Wei and Luoluo were no longer visible, she turned back to look at the three spotted tigers in front of her. They all looked angry, baring their teeth at the direction Zheng Wei had just left. Shen Xiaoyan instantly understood that the roar just now must have been from the creature they fought.
"Alright, don't worry. Zheng Wei is very capable. Now, let me bandage you." Shen Xiaoyan said, nodding forcefully. These words were to comfort the three in front of her, and also to calm herself. After all, a creature that could simultaneously injure two adult spotted tigers must not be ordinary. She believed in Zheng Wei's ability, but she couldn't help but worry.
Since Zheng Wei was not present, Shen Xiaoyan took out the immortal spring water from her space and washed the wounds of the two spotted tigers. The wounds that had been bleeding profusely had now stopped.
Shen Xiaoyan also gave the two spotted tigers some immortal spring water before stopping.
Actually, if she had some medicine, they would probably heal faster. But she shouldn't have any wound medicine on her, so she could only do this for now.
However, to avoid Zheng Wei noticing anything amiss when he returned, Shen Xiaoyan still tore off a large piece of her inner garment, then tore that large piece into strips, and wrapped the wounds of the two spotted tigers.
After she finished treating the wounds of the two spotted tigers, she saw them looking at her gratefully. Hua Diandian even walked forward and rubbed its head gently against her.
Shen Xiaoyan patted Hua Diandian's head and said, "Alright, it's okay now. Your parents will be fine soon."
Hua Diandian stuck out its tongue and licked Shen Xiaoyan's hand repeatedly, until Shen Xiaoyan's hand was covered in saliva.
Shen Xiaoyan couldn't help but laugh as Hua Diandian licked her hand because Hua Diandian's tongue was a bit rough, and it tickled her palm.
Patting Hua Diandian's back a few times, Shen Xiaoyan looked again in the direction Zheng Wei had left.
"Luoluo, what animal was it?"
Shen Xiaoyan suddenly remembered that Luoluo had gone with him earlier. She could communicate with Luoluo, so she quickly asked, while also sighing inwardly that she was indeed flustered by concern, having forgotten this matter.
"It's an old bear," Luoluo's voice was a bit serious. Although with its abilities, it was not afraid of the bear, it could not intervene. Zheng Wei was still here.
Shen Xiaoyan frowned upon hearing it was an old bear.
In her previous life, she had killed zombies and many mutated animals, but she had been in this world for so long without taking action, let alone facing such a large creature.
Shen Xiaoyan wanted to go and see now, otherwise she really couldn't rest assured. But looking at the family of three in front of her, she also felt a little uneasy.
Hua Diandian seemed to sense her hesitation. It let out a few low growls at the two big tigers, then led the way towards the direction Zheng Wei had left.
The two big tigers shakily stood up and retreated into the cave.
Shen Xiaoyan understood what was happening now. Hua Diandian wanted to go with her and asked its parents to stay in the cave first.
Deeply touched by Hua Diandian's action, Shen Xiaoyan sniffled, then walked to Hua Diandian's side. "Hua Diandian, you stay here. I'll go alone."
The two big tigers were seriously injured. If they encountered any danger again later, it would not be good.
But Hua Diandian ignored Shen Xiaoyan and walked straight ahead. In a short while, it had left Shen Xiaoyan behind.
Seeing this, Shen Xiaoyan had to quickly follow.
After walking tens of meters, one person and one tiger heard a rough roar and Luoluo's anxious cry.
Shen Xiaoyan's heart instantly tightened. She rushed towards the direction of the sound, her speed almost matching Hua Diandian's.
As the sound grew closer, Shen Xiaoyan also saw the figures of two battling. One was agile and strong; who else could it be but Zheng Wei.
Seeing that Zheng Wei was fine, Shen Xiaoyan's heart felt half at ease. Only then did she have the energy to look at the bear.
The old bear was black, its fur shining black, making it exceptionally conspicuous in the snow.
The old bear was about 2 meters tall, its roar deafening. It seemed to be angered by Zheng Wei, and kept swatting at Zheng Wei's head and body with its paws. The sight of these actions made Shen Xiaoyan tremble with fear.
Zheng Wei was not short. Shen Xiaoyan estimated he was about 180 cm tall. Standing in front of him, her head only reached his lips.
But even so, the 180 cm Zheng Wei appeared exceptionally slender when facing the 2-meter-tall old bear.
