Near the pool, the forest is incredibly dense.

Perhaps due to the high moisture, the surrounding plants and ivy appear especially verdant, giving the environment an excellent appearance.

Chen Yang, enjoying the scenery, followed Old Sun closely as they walked halfway around, and was about to return to the resting place where Heipi and the others were, when Chen Yang suddenly noticed half of a fresh deer carcass in the nearby bushes.

"Old Sun, look over there."

Chen Yang said, pointing.

Old Sun raised his head and glanced in the direction Chen Yang pointed.

Upon seeing the deer carcass, he immediately led Chen Yang toward it.

Old Sun remained silent, and after inspecting it, he smiled.

"This was done by a tiger. The meat is still fresh, suggesting it hasn't been dead for long," Old Sun said with a smile.

Only a large beast could hunt down a wild deer in the wild, so hearing this, Chen Yang wasn't surprised at all.

"Shall we set up a cage here?" Chen Yang asked.

Old Sun thought for a moment and then nodded, "Yes, let's do it here."

With that, Old Sun stood up, and he and Chen Yang returned to the poolside.

When they returned, Heipi and the others had rested enough.

Seeing Chen Yang and Old Sun return, Heipi immediately stood up and asked, "Yang Zi, Old Sun, how is it? Did you find a suitable place for the cage?"

"We found a spot. Let's take the iron cage and set it up now," Chen Yang replied.

Excited to hear they found a spot, Heipi promptly informed the others, and together, they carried a large iron cage with Chen Yang and Old Sun to the place where the deer carcass was found.

Seeing the mutilated deer meat, Heipi grinned.

"This creature is really fierce; such a big deer, torn apart like this."

"This is nothing; when a tiger gets fierce, it can tear things into pieces," Old Sun commented.

"Let's stop talking and set up quickly. The meat is still fresh; the tiger might return at any moment. Let's seize the time," Old Sun urged.

"Okay, okay."

Hearing that the tiger might return anytime, Heipi hurriedly got to work, starting to install the cage and using the surrounding plants to conceal the cage, leaving only an entrance exposed.

This cage is specially made.

Inside, there's a mechanism set up.

Once the tiger enters and touches the deer meat placed inside, the iron cage will instantly lock shut.

Heipi carefully placed the remaining deer meat on the mechanism.

After everything was set up, he clapped his hands, "All set, what next?"

"Let's go and check later," Old Sun said.

"Alright."

After setting up the trap, they didn't stay there any longer and quickly moved away.

Because it was very dangerous; the tiger could return anytime, and it'd be troublesome to run into it directly.

They swiftly left the scene and returned to the poolside.

Back at the poolside, the group sat down to rest and discussed a bit.

After their discussion, they lifted the iron cage together again to set up other traps.

According to Old Sun, this pool is the largest watering hole nearby.

Predatory animals would have to come here to drink, so setting up traps around here is the best choice.

Old Sun is an experienced hunter, and Chen Yang, along with Heipi and the others, followed Old Sun's instructions to set up all the traps by the pool.

After finishing, it was already noon.

Everyone was very hungry, as the morning's activities had consumed quite a bit of energy.

"Yang Zi, let's find a place to eat something; I'm hungry," Heipi looked at Chen Yang and said.

"Alright, let's head to the poolside, it's convenient for both water and checking the cage," Chen Yang thought about it and said.

"Old Sun, what do you think?"

Chen Yang then turned to seek Old Sun's opinion.

Old Sun nodded in agreement with Chen Yang's suggestion, "Yes, head to the poolside; as long as there's no fire, it's fine."

Having Old Sun's approval, the group returned to the poolside, found a spot not far from the pool but relatively hidden, and took out their food to eat.

Because they couldn't start a fire, otherwise they could have roasted some wild game.

While eating their dry food and lying under the shade of the trees, they felt quite relaxed.

But this relaxation didn't last long before it was interrupted by a loud roar from a tiger.

Roar!

The loud roar startled Chen Yang and the others.

Before they could react, a second roar came again.

Roar!

The roar was exceptionally fierce, as if it got into a conflict with other beasts.

"What's going on?"

Someone hearing the roar asked nervously.

Old Sun was the first to stand up, with a serious expression, he listened carefully, then said, "The sound is coming from the direction of the cage, possibly captured."

"So soon?"

Chen Yang also stood up, surprised by Old Sun's words.

It had only been an hour or two, unexpectedly, a tiger was captured so quickly.

"That deer meat is fresh; returning to eat it is quite normal. Let's go have a look," Old Sun explained.

"Alright, let's go, Yang Zi." Upon hearing the tiger was caught, Heipi was instantly excited, put away his food, and was eager to check it out.

"Yes, let's go."

Chen Yang nodded in agreement, and the group hastened their steps toward where the trap was set.

On the way, Old Sun took down his hunting gun, loaded with gunpowder, ready to respond to unexpected situations.

Heipi and the others were equally prepared, each alert, ready for any other circumstances.

With their swift pace, it only took a few minutes to reach the cage's place.

Nearing the cage area, the group immediately saw a ferocious tiger with yellow stripes and black marks furiously pounding the iron cage with its paws.

The powerful force made the cage creak loudly.

Although the tiger was trapped in the iron cage, its intimidating presence remained undiminished.

Especially those eyes, emitting a cold glare that couldn't help but send chills down one's spine.

Chen Yang and Old Sun, having dealt with tigers before, were relatively calm.

The others, upon seeing such a fierce tiger, couldn't help but tremble.

"They really... really caught it. This tiger's size is even bigger than the one that entered the village last time," someone said nervously.

"Old Sun, your skills are exceptional. It seems like I'll have to learn more from you in the future," Heipi gulped, expressing admiration toward Old Sun.

Hearing this, Old Sun smiled modestly, "It's nothing, just familiarity with the habits of these creatures. It wasn't like I caught it bare-handed; what's there to admire?"

Heipi didn't say more, still swallowing his saliva, turned to Chen Yang, asking what's the next step.
