But after that group of monkeys cycled away, the king of the forest finally appeared.
Zhang Jiaohua finally saw real tigers, but these tigers looked less imposing than the cats in Meizi’ou. Under the whip and iron rod of the trainer, the few young tigers behaved obediently like pet dogs, trying to please the trainer.
Seeing the tigers, Zhang Jiaohua suddenly felt very angry, a wave of uncontrollable emotion brewing in his mind. He felt like the leading wolf howling at the top of Meishan on that snowy night. That regal aura should have been evident in these tigers, but now, these tigers had completely degenerated into beastly slaves. This was an insult to the king of the forest.
Zhang Manyin followed Xia Guoxi’s arrangement, standing at the entrance of the animal show stage waiting, while Xia Guoxi went in to search. After all, they would have to pass through the entrance after the show. Zhang Manyin wasn’t very worried. Of course, this was also because he knew his grandson was not easy to abduct.
The performance was very exciting for many people. A chubby child in the audience shouted louder than anyone else.
“Quickly, quickly, make it roll…make it roll the ball…kill it, kill it…” he yelled, chewing on something excitedly while watching the stage.
But no one noticed that Zhang Jiaohua stood there motionless like a tree. His aura had already enveloped the entire animal show arena.
There were five tigers on the stage, four tiger cubs and one adult tiger. The adult tiger was skinny, looking like it could be blown over by the wind. The four tiger cubs were also quite small. The five tigers, who had been obediently performing, suddenly stopped and stared blankly at where Zhang Jiaohua stood. Though they had completely lost their wild nature, they still had the genes of the king of the forest. They were more sensitive than humans, and Zhang Jiaohua’s unique aura had attracted them.
Although Zhang Jiaohua was still at the beginner level in Daoist practice, because he often used Meishan Water Master’s unique training methods to train his mountain dogs, he had developed an aura that animals liked very much. This aura wasn’t cultivated but accumulated through interaction with animals.
While taming the mountain dogs, Zhang Jiaohua himself was also changed by them. He slowly learned to communicate with animals. It was a spiritual communication. Zhang Jiaohua gained the heart of an animal. This was the specialty of Meishan Water Masters. They communicated with the heavens and earth, and living beings through incantations. It seemed like they had divine power, but in reality, they learned to communicate with the heavens and earth through Daoist practices. Zhang Jiaohua learned to communicate with animals while taming them.
When Zhang Jiaohua suddenly released his unique aura, it naturally influenced the five tigers.
“Whack!” The trainer saw the five tigers suddenly disobeying his orders and immediately swung his whip, striking the adult tiger hard. Normally, the adult tiger would obediently continue performing under the trainer’s command. But today, it seemed unaffected.
“Whip it! Whip it! Whip it to death! How dare it disobey!” the chubby kid shouted, waving his fat hands at the stage.
The trainer immediately took the iron rod and hit the adult tiger several times.
“Run! Run! Quickly run!” Zhang Jiaohua felt pity for the tigers and silently called out a few times in his heart.
This was no small matter. Zhang Jiaohua had inadvertently released his unique aura, and his silent call was sensed by the tigers.
“Roar!” The adult tiger suddenly roared angrily at the trainer.
The trainer, used to these tame tigers raised in the zoo, was scared and fell to the ground, dropping his iron rod. He had never seen such a powerful aura. Though the tiger had long lost its wild nature, its genes still carried the spirit of a king.
“Roar!” The adult tiger glanced at Zhang Jiaohua and then leaped off the stage, followed by the four tiger cubs. The five tigers jumped off the stage and rushed towards the audience.
“Ah…”
The audience, who had been enjoying the animal performance, collapsed into chaos, crying and running towards the entrance. After all, these were tigers, and tigers eat people!
No one had remembered that the five tigers on stage were once kings of the forest, but now, they remembered.
The chubby kid was unlucky. Just as he was stuffing a big handful of popcorn into his mouth, he saw the tigers jumping down and opened his mouth wide in shock. The big tiger, seemingly particularly displeased with him, jumped straight at the chubby kid, knocking him away like a ball, and he landed heavily on the ground.
“Oh my god!” The chubby kid rolled his eyes and fainted. Sitting next to the chubby kid was another big fatty. When the tiger jumped down, the big fatty leaped out, bursting with an unexpected burst of speed, defying logic, and escaped ahead of everyone else. When he reached the outside, he realized the chubby kid wasn’t with him. He wanted to go back, but his legs were trembling with fear.
Xia Guoxi, who had just seen Zhang Jiaohua, raised his hand to wave at him when the unexpected happened, and the crowd pushed him towards the entrance of the animal show arena.
The trainers on stage quickly reacted, “Quick! Catch the tigers! Or something bad will happen!”
Zhang Jiaohua stood there, like a boulder in a torrent, with the crowd naturally parting around him.
The five tigers did not continue to chase or attack the crowd. They stood quietly under the stage.
The crowd quickly dispersed, leaving a mess behind. The trainers were waiting for the tranquilizer guns to arrive, not daring to approach.
At the entrance, Zhang Manyin watched the crowd run out of the animal show arena in a frenzy. He immediately sensed something was wrong. But he hadn’t seen Zhang Jiaohua come out, and he became anxious: Please, let nothing happen to Jiaohua!
Zhang Manyin rushed towards the animal show arena.
The crowd cleared, leaving Zhang Jiaohua standing under the stage. The five tigers slowly walked towards him.
Xia Guoxi, pushed to the entrance, ran back to the arena and saw a shocking scene.
“Jiaohua! Run!” Xia Guoxi shouted loudly at Zhang Jiaohua, who stood motionless in the arena.
