A tiger!
Deep in Cangshan, there was a wild tiger!
Donghua was located in the south. It would be impossible for a Northeast Tiger or a Bengal Tiger to cross such a vast distance from the north or the Southwest to get here.
This tiger in Cangshan could only be one thing—
A South China Tiger!
The very same South China Tiger that the academic community believed to be functionally extinct in the wild, the one listed as "Critically Endangered" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, a subspecies unique to Huaguo and the most imperiled of all!
"No wonder..."
Yang Qi muttered to himself as numerous clues instantly fell into place.
No wonder Caiyun had been so wary when she caught its scent from a distance, urging Ta Xue to leave the mountain with him and not return.
Though clouded leopards are medium-sized predators, before the tiger—the king of the forest—they are still potential prey.
