Chapter 108 The Eerie Silence
"Huh~?"
Hearing the fisherman's reminder, Cang Nian let out a confused howl.
His incredibly clear eyes, his extremely sensitive ears, and even his rather remarkable sense of smell didn't detect anything unusual.
"This area looks fine with big trees and bushes, but it lacks vitality, the vitality of animals!"
The fisherman cautiously surveyed his surroundings before speaking.
"An animal's anger?"
Upon hearing this, Cangnian immediately began to sense it.
There were no animals in sight!
The only sound my ears could hear was the rustling of leaves...
There was not a single sound: the chirping of insects, the calls of birds, or even the soft footsteps of small creatures moving across the ground in the jungle!
I initially thought it was just a small area like this, but when the old man climbed to the treetop and listened to the sounds around him, he found that it was the same.
The bird species with the widest range of activity in the jungle didn't even have a single one passing by!
This is definitely not normal!
Then, Cang Nian twitched his nose a few times, but did not notice any animal death or the stench of a rotting corpse.
This is even more abnormal.
Generally speaking, the jungle may seem tranquil, but in reality, battles and struggles for food and being eaten take place in its hidden depths.
Although most hunters will eat the food they catch.
But there are always larger prey with bone fragments attached, which the hunters can't eat and are too lazy to pick out.
The Cangnian family was like that, but now with the Black King Serpent, even the bones of a large creature like a deer can be corroded and digested by the Black King Serpent's powerful stomach acid.
However, other animals always leave some residue, unlike snakes which swallow their prey whole. This residue emits a slight putrid smell in the jungle, attracting scavengers like flies to clean it up.
But now, this area doesn't even have that stench anymore!
"Tiger, my suggestion is to leave now."
There must be something incredibly powerful here, with very strange methods.
"Once we retreat and assess the area, we can use prey to lure that thing out and eliminate this danger."
As Cang Nian pondered, the fisherman offered a suggestion in a low voice.
He knew very well that the Cang Nian family was expanding their patrol area in circles to systematically eliminate threats within their territory.
Clearly, there were two adult tigers, two rapidly growing tiger cubs, a massive black king cobra, and a sable with spatial abilities.
Such a lineup would naturally not tolerate the presence of any creatures that threaten its territory in the wild.
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian nodded in deep agreement.
Anything capable of causing such widespread and devastating damage is certainly not benevolent.
So, it’s better to be careful.
"Ow~!"
So, Cangnian looked at Tiger Dad and the others, signaling them to retreat along the same route.
The tiger father and his companions had evolved to be intelligent enough to understand that the fisherman's concerns were not unfounded. So they nodded, surrounded the tiger brother, and carefully withdrew.
Woof!
But just then, Pipi suddenly cried out!
Cang Nian would never ignore any situation at such a time, and he quickly went to check!
Then, thin white threads shot out from beneath the thick humus on the forest floor, and several of them had already stuck to Pipi's body!
But that wasn't all; even more threads sprang out from under the withered branches and fallen leaves, piercing towards Pipi!
Woof!
Seeing this, Pipi bared its teeth and barked, retreating repeatedly and tearing off the thin white threads binding it!
Swish swish~!
However, this is only the beginning!
As Pipi snapped the thin white thread, it was as if a command had been issued, and countless thin white threads shot out from the ground, piercing towards all the creatures present!
These thin white threads aren't very strong; even a young husky like Pipi could tear them.
But there were too many of them, and they quickly surrounded Cangnian and his party!
The densely packed, fine white threads would likely cause someone with trypophobia to faint on the spot.
They were all like mosquitoes and flies that hadn't eaten for who knows how long, scrambling to stab and entangle at the living creatures present!
Seeing this, the fisherman quickly drew his dagger and slashed at the thin white thread that was tangling around Pipi!
Boom boom boom~!
However, those thin white threads, which seem fragile and can even be torn with a little force, are surprisingly difficult to cut when struck with a blade!
With just two or three layers of thin white silk thread, the fisherman's forceful chopping was completely neutralized.
"The law commands! Execute!"
Just as Pipi was about to be entangled and wrapped by those thin white threads, the fisherman gave a soft shout!
Then, the dagger he was holding was covered with a layer of pale golden light.
Stab~!
Then, he brandished his dagger again to save Pipi.
Finally, with the blessing of the law, the thin white threads that were entangled around Pipi broke layer by layer, and the fisherman was able to pull Pipi out!
At this moment, the fisherman looked closely and saw that the thin white thread tied to Pipi's body had been stained with a layer of blood red, and was five or six centimeters long. He pulled it towards the source of the thin white thread!
"This thing draws blood! There are no animals in this area; they've been sucked dry by it!"
The fisherman quickly shouted to inform Cangnian's family of this information.
"Pipi! Cover yourself with your superpowers! Quick!"
Then, the fisherman quickly said to Pipi.
He can't keep holding Pipi in his arms forever, otherwise he can't fight!
But he estimated that Pipi's lightning ability should have some effect!
Crackling sounds!
Upon hearing the fisherman's command, Pipi remembered that he had a special ability to use, and quickly made lightning flash on his body!
Countless arcs of electricity flowed across Pipi's body, causing all of its fur to stand on end!
And it worked!
The thin white threads immediately retracted upon contact with the electric arcs on Pipi's body, daring not to attack him.
"Tiger Lord! You can use your superpower like this too! That way it won't dare attack you!"
Seeing that Pipi's lightning ability was effective, the fisherman quickly looked at Tiger Dad and offered his advice.
Tiger Dad's superpower is that he can coat his body with a layer of jet-black flames!
Although the temperature is not very high for the time being, since Pipi's lightning works, Tiger Dad's fire should also work!
However, Tiger Dad ignored the fisherman's advice.
Boom boom boom~!
As the muscles on Tiger Dad's strong arms bulged, the thin white threads that attacked him snapped completely, causing him no trouble whatsoever.
Then, Tiger Dad slowly and deliberately tore off the thin white thread binding Tiger Brother's body.
As for Tiger Mom, even though her superpowers have absolutely nothing to do with combat, her powerful physique allows her to completely ignore such attacks.
"Uh... I was overthinking it."
Seeing the tiger dad's fierce appearance, the fisherman was ashamed.
