Yun Jian sprang up and hopped right off into the pit, landing firmly on her feet inside.
The scene shocked everyone who was watching and Tang Qixuan’s heart gave a squeeze at it.
“No! Come back! This is none of your business...” Tang Qixuan was horrified but when she saw Yun Jian jumping into the tiger’s den because of her, she wanted to hop in and save her even though she was shaking all over.
Although Tang Qixuan was terrified, she knew that it was her personal affair. She was the one who could not bear to watch her boyfriend get maimed. Yet Yun Jian was throwing herself into the pit to save the guys for her. She could not do this to Yun Jian.
The pit underneath was the tiger’s lair with at least eight to nine grown tigers inside. Tang Qixuan was timid but she did not want others sacrificing themselves for her.
Just as she was going to jump into the tiger’s den as well, Ning Lanlan grabbed her from the side.
“Don’t go! You’ll get yourself killed when you go down too. I’ll save Jianjian!” Ning Lanlan’s brows were knitted together. She was actually shaking as well and her palms were breaking out in cold sweat from the intense fear.
Nevertheless, how could Ning Lanlan watch Yun Jian barrel to her demise just like that? Although it had not been long since she got to know Yun Jian and they were not childhood friends either, Ning Lanlan was someone who would go through hell for those she acknowledged as her friends.
“No, Sis Lanlan, this has nothing to do with you too. I’ll go...” Tang Qixuan said and shoved Ning Lanlan away.
It was at the same time that Xiao Zhiming stopped both the girls.
“You two stay here. If anyone’s going to save them, it’s me and Zihao,” Xiao Zhiming told them and turned to shout for Shan Zihao.
Unlike other guys, Xiao Zhiming was not only handsome, but he also was not boastful like the typical boys. He was the type of guy who was honest and down to earth.
Right now, he was not even thinking about acting cool in front of the girls. All he had in mind was saving the others. However, when he turned to call Shan Zihao so they could go save Yun Jian and others together, he saw Shan Zihao shuffling several steps back.
“Zihao, we...” Xiao Zhiming was taken aback. He was just planning to ask his best friend, Shan Zihao, to go to the rescue only to see him retreating in fear and cutting him off. “Zhiming, t-those are tigers! Tigers! They will eat us! Someone’s already being eaten! And shouldn’t the zookeepers save their visitors...”
All these were simply excuses.
Xiao Zhiming’s gaze darkened a little but he did not turn back. Shan Zihao’s reaction disappointed him.
Just as he was going to ignore Shan Zihao and hopped down to the rescue, he heard An Mo’s frightened shriek.
“Ahh!”
Everyone’s attention was diverted by her scream. By the time they shifted their gaze, Yun Jian was already being targeted by one of the tigers.
“No! Jianjian!” Ning Lanlan was rushing to jump into the pit as she cried but she froze in shock just after two steps.
Everyone widened their eyes because as the ferocious tiger pounced at Yun Jian, they saw a startling scene—Yun Jian took a step forward with her hands flicking the butterfly knife agilely. The moment the tiger jumped at her, she avoided it with a sidestep and with a flick of her wrist, stabbed the butterfly knife into the tiger’s abdomen that was exposed.
The attack was swift, precise, and merciless. If it were done one step slower, the one going down would be Yun Jian instead.
Blood spurted out of the tiger as its heart was stabbed. Some had even gotten onto Yun Jian. She merely blinked her eyes, like she was not aware that she had killed a tiger.
In spite of it, Ning Lanlan, Shan Zihao, and others who witnessed it above the pit were drenched in cold sweat from the stupor. Yun Jian had killed a tiger! She had actually killed a tiger!
