82: Chapter 82 Someone in the shadows? Unknown!
This sudden question undoubtedly shattered the atmosphere in the live broadcast room.
The public hoped that Tiger Mom and Little Tiger could be tamed by An Ke.
They wanted to see An Ke add a fierce general to his ranks.
However, a tiger that has eaten a human feels entirely different.
This matter would become a thorn in everyone's side.
After all, if Tiger Mom and Little Tiger have tasted human flesh, it means they will include humans in their diet.
What if An Ke falls on hard times one day and the tigers attack him when there's no food?
No one knows what the future holds; all that can be done now is to minimize the risk.
"I hope Tiger Mom and Little Tiger haven't eaten the corpse."
"Everyone hopes they haven't, but isn't the answer obvious?"
"Sigh! Yeah, who else but them would be such a fierce beast nearby?"
"..."
Almost most people were certain that the tiger mother and son were the culprits.
Including An Ke!
However, An Ke didn't have the same reservations as the outside world.
After all, those Foreigners had ill intentions, invaded the Camp, and tried to kill King Kong; they were heinous.
Even if the Leopard had killed and eaten them, An Ke wouldn't have said anything.
Naturally, if Tiger Mom ate them, so be it.
As for potential future risks, An Ke wasn't worried.
Once his Natural Affinity upgraded in a few days, Tiger Mom would naturally become friendly toward him.
However, to everyone's surprise, the tiger shook its head, denying that it had taken the corpse.
Tiger Mom looked at An Ke with disdain and said, "We don't like eating corpses that are already dead."
"That corpse was too dirty; I couldn't be bothered to touch it."
"My child and I only eat prey I catch myself..."
An Ke frowned slightly: "It wasn't you..."
In this way, the matter became mysterious and complicated again.
If it wasn't Tiger Mom, what other animal nearby could have carried off the corpse?
And to do it so stealthily, without leaving any trace...
King Kong, standing on An Ke's shoulder, was also very surprised.
It opened its mouth wide and screamed, "Ghosts! Ghosts!"
"Scary, scary!"
"Shut up!" An Ke said crossly.
At the same time, the audience in the live broadcast room was also stunned.
They had hoped it wasn't the tiger mother and son.
But when the truth turned out to be exactly what they hoped for, an uneasiness grew in their hearts.
If it wasn't the tigers, then what was it?
Could it be that there was some other fierce beast nearby?
Thinking deeper, everyone felt their skin crawl; could there really be something 'unclean' out there?
In the program, Kang Hui and Sa Beining sought help from experts and professors to dispel the audience's wild thoughts and anxiety.
They began to ask for help from the experts.
"Professor Wu, what animal do you think carried away the corpse?"
Liu Yifei blinked her beautiful eyes, her face slightly tense as she waited for an answer.
If there was a reliable answer, she wouldn't let her imagination run wild and scare herself.
However, Professor Wu and the experts on site were slow to give an answer.
Because they were racking their brains and couldn't think of any animal that would carry off a corpse like that.
The most critical point was that no trace was left behind.
No matter what animal it was, if it had been there, it would inevitably leave some traces.
Unless the other party had high enough intelligence to fake the scene.
In that case, there was only one answer: a human.
However, all contestants were being broadcast globally; if a human had really done it, it would have been seen immediately.
The silence from Professor Wu and the others only intensified people's unease.
The crowd began to make wild guesses.
And the guesses were becoming increasingly outrageous.
In the broadcast, An Ke rubbed his chin, falling into deep thought.
If it wasn't the tiger, it meant the hidden danger near the Camp hadn't been discovered yet.
There might be an even more terrifying beast... what could it be?
An Ke also couldn't think of what kind of beast it might be, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
Right now, with Tiger Mom and Leopard, these two fierce beasts in the Camp, any beast wanting to attack would have to think twice.
Of course! This was based on the assumption that the National Fortune Game followed the rules of normal biology.
If it introduced some incomprehensible creatures, then consider what An Ke said void.
Shaking his head, An Ke laughed to himself and muttered, "All fear stems from insufficient firepower."
"To eliminate a crisis, one must become strong."
"I must explore more unknown areas."
Obtaining mysterious treasures is one way to increase strength.
Reaching a certain level of exploration to gain stage rewards is another way.
The National Fortune Game had stated that the beasts later on would become increasingly fierce.
One must be fully prepared.
While An Ke was thinking about this, King Kong, Little Tiger, and Little Leopard came over.
They gathered around An Ke affectionately.
Little Tiger burrowed into his arms, rubbing its large head against him repeatedly.
Seeing this, Little Wild Leopard also tried to burrow into An Ke's arms.
At the same time, it tried to push Little Tiger away.
Unfortunately, against Little Tiger's large head, it was powerless.
It could only howl in frustration, its legs kicking frantically.
This scene made An Ke chuckle.
"Don't worry, don't worry, there's enough for both of you." An Ke smiled warmly and played with the two little ones.
King Kong stood on An Ke's shoulder, looking at Little Tiger thoughtfully.
Could it tame Little Tiger just like it tamed Little Leopard?
If it could, it could definitely brag about it to other birds for a lifetime.
As the sky grew darker, Little Scar came over to bid An Ke farewell.
It was getting late, and they had to return to their habitat.
An Ke nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Right! Take some cured meat back with you."
This afternoon, the tigers had caught two more wild boars, so there was plenty of meat.
He might as well let Little Scar and the others take some back to improve the diet of Female Monkey and the Little Monkeys.
"Thank you, Great King!" Little Scar didn't stand on ceremony.
It took the meat from An Ke's hand.
Then it left the Camp reluctantly.
With the ten monkeys gone, the Camp felt much quieter.
At this moment, seeing this, Tiger Mom stood up and went to Little Tiger's side, intending to take Little Tiger away as well.
It was late; time to return to the den.
Tiger Mom planned that after going back this time, she wouldn't pass through here again.
Lest Little Tiger always favor outsiders.
However, to Tiger Mom's fury, Little Tiger still desperately pushed into An Ke's arms, showing no intention of leaving.
She tried many ways, using gentleness and trying to reason with Little Tiger.
That didn't work, so she used a tough attitude, growling at Little Tiger.
But it still didn't work.
This infuriated Tiger Mom; this rebellious son really wasn't giving her any face at all!
As the observer, An Ke felt very joyful in his heart.
He secretly gave Little Tiger a huge thumbs up.
He then took the opportunity to persuade Tiger Mom to stay.
"Tiger Mom, why don't you just treat this place as your den from now on?"
As long as Tiger Mom was willing to stay, even if she didn't admit to being one of An Ke's followers...
They would effectively be on the same side.
If there were another Beast Attack tonight, Tiger Mom would have no choice but to act.
