Chapter 731 Ultimate Notes 3 19
The tiger looked down at the three little toys that had run out of its sandbox, and they seemed to be getting restless.
Wu Xie and the other two looked up, watching it warily, neither side making a move in the standoff.
Fatty Wang held a detonator in his hand, ready at any moment: "Tianzhen, buddy, if this guy dares to move, I'll blow it up. You guys get ready to run!"
Wu Xie nodded. Although the detonator might not be able to kill the guy, they did need its assistance to leave safely in their current situation.
He is now very grateful that his leg, which was bitten by red ants, regained sensation after being numb for several hours.
Otherwise, they probably wouldn't even be able to outrun it now; they were lucky this time.
Zhang Qiling tightened his grip on the knife, his eyes meeting those of the tiger.
Just as the tiger was about to step over and crush them, several more people emerged from the passage they had just come from.
The commotion from that direction immediately drew the attention of the three people and the tiger.
The four people who came out also looked like players, but when they saw what was happening outside, they wanted to back away, but they were afraid of making a sound.
What was originally a two-way standoff has now become a three-way game.
"Hey, how about we team up?" one of the players quietly approached Wu Xie and whispered to him.
This person probably thought that among the three of them, Wu Xie seemed the easiest to talk to (or the easiest to fool).
Wu Xie took the bait, and it was unclear whether he believed it or not.
But he seemed eager to hear what this person had to say, and asked with clear eyes, "How do you want to cooperate?"
Upon hearing this, the man's expression brightened: "Just call me Hao Congming. There are seven of us in total. We can cover for each other and then take the opportunity to escape."
"So smart? Your parents clearly have high hopes for you when they named you this." Fatty Wang couldn't help but say upon hearing the name.
"Haha, yeah, what do you guys think of my suggestion?"
Seeing that the two had started chatting, Wu Xie reminded them, "You should be mindful of the occasion when you're chatting, Hao Congming, please continue."
“Okay, my idea is to have a few people distract it first, then the others can escape in the chaos, and then switch over once we’re out the door.”
"I don't think your method is reliable. Who would be willing to attract a tiger?" Fatty Wang was not very satisfied when he heard this. He wasn't stupid.
The three of them are definitely working together and can be trusted completely, while others may not be so trustworthy.
"To be fair, we'll send two people, and you only need one."
It must be said that Hao Congming is indeed quite clever; he didn't make his intentions too obvious.
“You’re definitely not going over there, right?” Fatty Wang said.
"Brother, we need to discuss this before we can decide. My opinion alone doesn't count."
Wu Xie looked up at the tiger: "I have a feeling that it might not wait for us to discuss it."
Sure enough, Wu Xie had a certain wickedness about him; the tiger, which hadn't moved a moment before, started moving after he finished speaking.
The tiger was pleased to see that the little toys were too scared to move. It was so big that it couldn't hear what the little toys had just been saying.
Now there's no need to discuss who will do what; everyone takes advantage of their shrunken bodies and hides wherever they can.
The tiger was surprised and puzzled to see that the toys had run away and weren't scared by him, so he started looking for them in the room.
"Tianzhen, buddy, hurry, come over here." Fatty Wang, with his sharp eyes, found a spot.
He aimed at the cabinet closest to the door, where the gap underneath would be just enough for them to hide.
Moreover, this place offers both offensive and defensive advantages, and allows one to observe the outside for potential dangers before venturing out.
Running straight out would be too obvious and would easily attract the attention of tigers, who would then chase after them.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie also ran over.
Fatty Wang's judgment was correct; when the tiger saw several toys running out, it chased after them.
Only the three of them stood under the cabinet, watching the tiger leave the room, before speaking in hushed tones.
Wu Xie shared his observation: "Looking at the scenery outside the window, we're on the first floor, but we can't get out even if we break the window. The height of the first floor is too great for our current size to reach."
"This is awkward. Does that mean we're just waiting to die after that tiger kills those guys?" The fat man also felt that their shrinking was indeed a bit troublesome.
"Let's get out now," Zhang Qiling said.
“We can be careful not to get discovered,” Wu Xie nodded.
Shrunk size has both advantages and disadvantages. It makes it easier to hide and avoid being discovered, but it also makes it much farther to travel.
Zhang Qiling walked out first, followed by Wu Xie and the other two.

The next evening, Qin Xuan and the other two peered through the crack in the gate at the chaotic street outside.
On the street, a group of giant animals dressed in uniform seemed to be looking for something, and they went into each house to check it out.
"Are they looking for us?" Xie Yuchen asked uncertainly.
Hei Xiazi, with an expression of anticipation, asked, "What did you two do to deserve such a commotion?"
"How do you know it's not looking for you? Don't forget that rabbit, it seems especially friendly towards you."
"Grandpa Hua, using the word 'affectionate' isn't quite right."
Xie Yuchen ignored him and continued to observe.
Qin Xuan looked at it for a while and said, "They're either looking for us, or they're looking for those twenty-odd players from last night."
She had already seen many players running and hiding in the streets.
"They're almost here, we need to find another place," Xie Yuchen said.
"You don't need to go far; the tree across the street is just right."
Five minutes later, Qin Xuan sat on the tree trunk and swung his legs, looking down at the two people, one in black and one in white, who were clinging to the tree trunk and trying to climb up using their hands and feet.
"Miss Qin, are you really going to just watch me and Master Hua struggle to climb up the ladder?" Hei Xiazi looked up at her leisurely posture and said with a sense of resentment.
"That's great, keep it up!" Qin Xuan said with a smile.
Xie Yuchen felt it was better to keep quiet and conserve his energy; this dungeon run had greatly improved his climbing ability.
Five minutes later, the two finally climbed up the nearest tree branch.
The three hid in the tree, using the leaves for cover, and stayed there for more than half an hour. After the animals that were searching on the other side left, they went back.

"Hey fatso, don't move, or we'll get caught." Wu Xie slapped Fatty Wang's thigh and whispered.
Wang Pangzi lay on the grass, feeling itchy all over, but dared not move. He could only relieve the itch by rubbing his body slightly against the ground.
"How much longer do we have to hide? This grass is poking my skin, it's so itchy."
