Upon seeing Quan Yonglin's frenzy of rage, Ren Baqian set off in fear and trepidation. On the contrary, Quan Yonghe, who was standing atop the rock, looked as though she did not see anything happening. Ever since Quan Yonglin jumped down from the rock to deal with the sharp-toothed tiger, she had been sitting there in a daze.

Eventually, the sharp-toothed tiger was reduced to nothing but an unrecognizable bloody mess. Quan Yonglin finally stopped pounding it, walked to the stream, and threw his hammers into it. Following which, he jumped in and washed the sharp-toothed tiger's blood and flesh off his body.

After cleaning himself, Quan Yonglin picked up his hammers and yelled to Quan Yonghe, "Let's get out of here. A sharp-toothed tiger has died here, and because other animals can smell its blood from afar, they won't come here."

"Can you not be so disgusting next time?" Quan Yonghe said with a disdainful look on her face. However, she still jumped down from the rock.

"Hey, this thing is rather strong. I can't help it," Quan Yonglin chuckled and replied.

"You can't help it? I have never seen anyone that smashes something until it is reduced to a bloody mess," Ren Baqian silently cursed in his heart.

"I'm afraid there won't be any animals coming here today, you should move to somewhere else," Quan Yonglin yelled to Ren Baqian.

Ren Baqian nodded his head. Anyway, he did not want to stay around Quan Yonghe.

Initially, he still thought these two people were alright. He did not expect them to be so insane when they were engaged in a fight. If there were other people around, Ren Baqian naturally wouldn't be so scared. If he was accidentally hit by Quan Yonglin's hammers, he would be dead within seconds.

The scene of Quan Yonglin fighting a face-to-face battle with the sharp-toothed tiger and smashing it into a bloody mess terrified Ren Baqian.

Ren Baqian was a good citizen. Even though his hands had taken two human lives, he was still a good citizen.

When he encountered someone like Quan Yonglin, he did not dare get too close to him with his fragile body.

After the two had left, Ren Baqian sat on the ground and thought about the incident. He felt that he was cheated.

Initially, this area had been a good location. Then, it was invaded by Quan Yonglin and Quan Yonghe. Subsequently, they killed a sharp-toothed tiger. It was most likely that other animals wouldn't come near this place anymore. If he wanted to hunt the Bei, he had to find other places now.

Roaming around the forest was very dangerous for him.

After thinking about it, Ren Baqian felt that he should stay here.

In the first place, his goal was not to come here and hunt, but rather, find a place and stay there until tomorrow noon. If he could find a safe place to stay, he wouldn't mind even if he had to stay overnight in the wild. All he wanted to leave this mountain safely.

He would leave the hunting to other people who were willing to do so.

After witness the battle between Quan Yonglin and the sharp-toothed tiger, Ren Baqian had a deeper understanding of how dangerous this forest was.

The sharp-toothed tiger just now was at least three meters long. It was slightly smaller than the wild boar he saw previously. However, it moved extremely fast, and its strength and fighting capabilities were terrifying.

At least it was alright when it was smashed in the face by Quan Yonglin's hammer at the start. Quan Yonglin's subsequent attacks eventually made it lose its fighting capabilities.

Ren Baqian reckoned that his handgun would not be able to do anything against it.

If Quan Yonglin wasn't present, he would have died. The sharp-toothed tiger wasn't a human, it wouldn't be stupid enough to let Ren Baqian stuff a grenade into its mouth.

Initially, Ren Baqian thought that having a handgun would ensure his safety. Now, he realized the handgun was only useful against low-level humans. It was practically useless against the wild boar or the sharp-toothed tiger.

Not only would the handgun be useless against certain wild beasts, it most likely would also be useless against Quan Yonglin.

If Ren Baqian remembered correctly, a tiger's swipe could generate 1 ton of force. Looking at the size of the sharp-toothed tiger, its strength was definitely comparable to a tiger's. However, when the sharp-toothed tiger attacked Quan Yonglin, he merely flew back in the air and rolled on the ground before standing up as though nothing had happened.

Furthermore, the sharp-toothed tiger's claws merely left a few shallow wounds on Quan Yonglin's body.

These displayed the defensive capability of Quan Yonglin's physical body. His body was simply too powerful.

If he was shot with a handgun, the bullet most likely get stuck in his muscle. The gun would be useless against him unless he was shot in his vital areas. Furthermore, Quan Yonglin wasn't a blockhead, his speed would definitely be much faster than Ren Baqian's.

If Ren Baqian really used the handgun on someone like Quan Yonglin, he would be the one that died.

If a situation like that really occurred, Ren Baqian felt that he would be the one that opened fire first and then Quan Yonglin would throw his hammer at him. The bullet would hurt Quan Yonglin like a mosquito bite while Quan Yonglin's hammer would smash him to smithereens.

He might have a chance if he was using a shotgun. The bullet from a shotgun was two times more powerful than a handgun's. In close range against an ordinary human, the difference in the effectiveness of a handgun and a shotgun wasn't really huge. However, against an aboriginal of this world, the difference would be tremendous.

If he used a shotgun, the other party would have his body filled with holes and die.

After sitting there for quite some time, Ren Baqian turned around and looked at the huge rock. He was wondering how he could get on top of it.

Quite some time ago, he already spotted this rock, but he chose to stay on the tree.

It was very easy for Quan Yonglin and Quan Yonghe to get on top of it. However, for Ren Baqian, who lacked any rock-climbing skills, it was very difficult.

Ren Baqian walked two circles around the rock. The rock was roughly three meters tall, and it did not have any edges for him to hold or step on.

Finally, Ren Baqian made up his mind. He took a few steps back and broke into a sprint. Using his momentum, he jumped onto the rock and tried to climb it. However, the moment his hands touched the rock, which surface was slanted, he slid down almost immediately.

Ren Baqian changed direction and tried climbing the rock a few times but failed in the end.

He had no choice but to admit that the rock climbers on television made it look easy. Now that he was actually doing it, he realized its difficulty level was "Hell".

"Sighhh!" Ren Baqian sighed. He had no choice but to continue walking towards the upper reach of the stream. At the same time, he was looking around for a place to take shelter.

Even though Quan Yonglin said that there wouldn't be any animals coming here, he still had to find somewhere to hide and stay.

At this point in time, the sun had already set. It was very close to nighttime.

Ren Baqian felt that he should find shelter before nighttime arrived. At night, there were many predators in the forest. Furthermore, his vision would be reduced in the dark, making it even more dangerous than the day.

If possible, Ren Baqian hoped that he could find a small crevice to hide in. He wanted to find one that large wild beasts could not enter.

Along the way, he couldn't find any place that was suitable.

However, there were a few trees that were suitable as a shelter.

Ren Baqian walked to a tree nearest to him. After throwing a few stones into the tree to make sure there were no snakes, he climbed it to take a look. Feeling at ease, he got down from the tree and checked his surroundings. Suddenly, he saw the underbrush moving. Immediately, he held his breath. Soon after, a white-colored head appeared from the underbrush. When it saw Ren Baqian, it immediately growled at him.

Without any hesitation, Ren Baqian pulled the triggered on his crossbow and the arrow hit the creature's chest.

Following which, Ren Baqian broke into a run.

It was a babeast again.

How come there are so many babeasts in this forest?

Ren Baqian ran all the way to the stream. Four babeasts were chasing him like insane dogs. They were drooling non-stop as they chased after him, appearing as though they had already treated him as their dinner.

Ren Baqian had the same idea as them. Using his right hand, he took out his gun and fired several shots. He still had the time and energy to change to a new magazine.

The handgun might not work against huge-sized creatures but it was definitely powerful enough to deal with babeasts.
