Those on the tree stared wide-eyed at the scene before them, their anger almost palpable. Calling these people beasts was too lenient; they were utterly unworthy of being called human.

The children were very uncomfortable being carried like that, so they cried out, but the people below didn't care about their cries at all; instead, they felt a kind of perverse sadism.

If nothing is done, these children will die in the tiger's jaws, which is something no one wants to see.

If they hadn't encountered it before, they could have pretended not to know or see it, but now that it's happening right before their eyes, they can't ignore it.

Mo Bei had the highest combat skills among the group, so everyone unconsciously focused their attention on him, wondering if he had any other good ideas.

Su Li also looked at Mo Bei, somewhat worried. At this time, everyone was in the tree, which greatly limited what they could do and made it difficult not to attract attention.

Mo Bei naturally had this in mind, so looking at everyone's gaze, he shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't have any better solutions at the moment.

Looking at it this way, everyone was somewhat disappointed. Were we just going to watch those innocent children die?

Su Li hugged the big tree and looked down at the scene below, her brows furrowing more and more. Listening to the children's pitiful cries under the tree, her mind was racing. Then, an idea came to her.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Su Li pretended to take out a bottle of spiritual spring water laced with poison from her sleeve and then gestured to Mo Bei.

Adding poison to the spiritual spring water would greatly reduce the effectiveness of the poison, but the effect would still be present. The poison she possessed was very potent; even a ferocious tiger would be incapacitated by it.

Mo Bei looked at the small medicine bottle in Su Li's hand, somewhat puzzled, wondering what it meant.

Seeing Mo Bei in a tree nearby, Su Li whispered, "Poison. Pour the potion from here onto the food, preferably near those two tigers, and let them eat it. It will definitely work."

Upon hearing this, Mo Bei suddenly understood, but he also had doubts: how could Su Li guarantee that the tiger would eat the food thrown down?

However, before Mo Bei could figure it out, there was a commotion under the tree. The man's attendants put the children down and chased them into the woods. Meanwhile, the man who had spoken earlier released the two tigers beside him, intending to carry out an extreme massacre.

Seeing this, Mo Bei no longer hesitated and immediately chased after them, using the surrounding trees as cover.

The tiger's roar still echoed in their ears, and evil laughter came from under the tree. This group of people were clearly used to this kind of torture and killing, and were quite proud of it. The evil of human nature was brought to life at this moment.

The group's behavior was chilling, but no one present ran away. They all carefully memorized the faces of these people, wishing they could bring them to justice one day.

The tiger's roar quickly stopped, and the group below thought the tiger had succeeded. They leisurely prepared to go forward and admire their masterpiece, but before they could even get close, they saw the two tigers lying sprawled on the ground, looking as if they were about to die.

Upon seeing this scene, the leading man lost his usual composure and rushed forward to check the situation, only to find that the situation was very bad.

"What happened? Who killed my tiger?" the man asked, his face ashen. He had an urge to tear the person to pieces, and indeed, he did want to.

The attendants beside him, who had been mocking him earlier, were now kneeling pale-faced and terrified, all claiming to know nothing about the situation.

The man looked grim, but he couldn't care less about that now. He quickly ordered his men to carry the two tigers back to the city for treatment. As for the children who had escaped, he left two behind and ordered them to shoot them.

The group hurriedly went down the mountain to find a doctor to treat the tiger, while the two left behind also rushed to look for the missing child, thus ending the farce.

The area under the tree had returned to calm, but no one came down. Everyone was waiting for news from Mo Bei.

A full quarter of an hour passed, and just when everyone was about to give up, Mo Bei returned with six young children.

Seeing Mo Bei's determined gaze, Su Li and the others knew that the matter had been resolved, and they immediately climbed down from the tree.

"Have those two been dealt with?" Su Li asked as she stepped forward.

Mo Bei nodded, then said respectfully, "I killed one and spared one. I need to hand the spared one over to the general and interrogate him carefully."

Having already gathered a general understanding of the situation from the tree, Su Li had guessed about seven or eight parts of what Zhao Zexuan and his group were planning to do. So, she wasn't worried about it anymore and instead reminded them, "In that case, let's hurry up the mountain. We don't know when those people will realize what's going on and come up again."

Mo Bei naturally nodded in agreement with Su Li's arrangement. He looked at the still crying children and said, "Then let's bring these children up the mountain as well."

Su Li nodded and said, "I don't know if their family members are still alive. We'll ask them carefully when we get back to the cave. Let's take them up the mountain first."

Mo Bei nodded, then told the others to pack their things and hurry up the mountain.

Those who went up the mountain first were already waiting in the cave. When they saw that the last group of people had not come up the mountain for a long time, they were worried that something had happened. They were discussing going out to look for them when the last group of people came up the mountain.

"What's going on? Why are you so slow?" Mo Nan asked, stepping forward with a worried expression.

Hearing this, Mo Bei noticed that everyone in the cave was staring at them. He didn't say anything, only that it was alright, and that he would tell Mo Nan the truth when no one was around.

"So some of those people are raising tigers and even trying to feed them with children!" Mo Nan said angrily.

Having witnessed that scene firsthand, Mo Bei was also quite shocked, so he said with an equally grim expression, "Those people can't be allowed to live."

Mo Nan naturally agreed with Mo Bei's words, and said with a serious expression, "We'll discuss countermeasures together when the general comes up the mountain. Right now, the most important thing is everyone's safety. I'm worried that those people will realize what's happening and come back up the mountain."

Mo Bei naturally had this concern, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed up the mountain with his men. He said, "The most important thing right now is everyone's safety. We can discuss the rest later."

……

Having just escaped from such a dangerous place, Su Li was feeling quite tired, so she casually found a place to sit down and close her eyes to rest.

It's hard to imagine how they would have escaped today without that bottle of poison mixed with the spiritual spring water.

She had always known that her current situation was dangerous, but never as deeply as this time. For the first time, Su Li clearly realized the cruelty of this era.

"Miss Su, how are you now? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Just as Su Li closed her eyes to rest, a gentle voice sounded in her ear.

Su Li looked up and saw that it was...
