After a beat, the tiger sauntered in from the cave entrance. The already tight cave felt even more cramped with it there, like it could barely fit the three of them.


    Quinn had never seen a tiger this massive before; standing up, it was probably taller than she was.


    "Alexander," Quinn called out, her voice shaky.


    Alexander didn''t nce her way, his eyes locked on the tiger. "Get behind me."


    No sooner had he spoken than the tiger lunged at him. Alexander sidestepped the attack, moving towards the fire. Before the tiger could turn, he used the gunstock to fling the fire at it. The burning firewood flew at the tiger, sending sparks everywhere.


    Some branchesnded on the tiger, setting its fur aze, but the beast didn''t seem to care and immediately turned to pounce at Alexander again.


    Even though Quinn was closer, the tiger seemed fixated on Alexander.


    Quinn had a gut feeling the tiger was gunning for Alexander specifically.


    If she could sense it, Alexander definitely could too. He shouted to Quinn, "Get outta here!"


    "What about you?" Quinn asked, her voice full of worry.


    "Don''t worry ''bout me. Just go. I can''t move right with you here," Alexander said, dodging another swipe from the tiger, too busy to look at her.


    Hearing that, Quinn bolted out of the cave, not wanting to be a burden.


    The mes on the tiger''s body probably burned its flesh. As soon as Quinn ran out, she heard the tiger''s roar echoing from inside. The sound was so loud it made her ears ring, and she even felt the trees around her shake. She nced back at the cave. The firelight inside had dimmed a lot, flickering like it was about to go out.


    The poor visibility was bad news for Alexander. Seeing the firewood at the cave entrance, Quinn quickly gathered it and started another fire outside.


    The burning tiger got even more pissed, and its attacks became more wild.


    After dodging a few times, the tiger got smarter and went for close-range attacks.


    With one swipe, Alexander blocked with his gun, but the tiger''s paw snapped the gun in half and left deep, bone-revealing gashes on his arm.


    Alexander stumbled back a few steps, and the tiger immediately pounced again. Alexander ducked and rolled on the ground, the tiger''s ws just grazing his shoulder.


    He chucked the broken gun at the tiger, which dodged it. Taking the chance, Alexander bolted out of the cave.


    Outside, Quinn saw him rush out with the tiger hot on his heels. Seeing the tiger leap, Quinn tensed up and yelled, "Watch out!"


    Alexander ran to a tree, grabbed a thick vine, and swung up, hugging the trunk and climbing up.


    The tiger missed again, jumped a couple of times below, and then started climbing the tree.


    Quinn stared in shock. How could a tiger climb a tree?


    The tiger climbed fast, and in a few blinks, it was on the branches, jumping from one to another as if it was nothing.


    Alexander''s eyes shed. Without stopping, he ran to the treetop and jumped to another tree.


    The tiger followed, but the branch couldn''t hold its weight. As soon as itnded, the branch snapped, and the tiger fell along with it.Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    The tiger rolled a few times on the ground, letting out an angry roar that sent nearby birds flying.


    It got up and started climbing the tree where Alexander was, hell-bent on getting him.
