Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1531

Originally, Andrew had planned to explore the rest of the ruins. However, that sudden appearance of the black-furred beast had really shaken everyone up. If they kept wandering around, the stone ruins of the old village were tight and narrow, with terrible visibility.

If that creature decided to come back for revenge, Andrew would not be afraid—but the others were already spooked.

"Andy, what now? That thing just killed someone in broad daylight. We can either take it out first, or we find the entrance to the treasure—fast."

Outside the ruins, Andrew had just finished scrubbing the blood off himself when Logan came charging up, furious and frustrated.

Andrew shot him a cold glance and asked, "Why are you panicking? A couple of people die, and you're already panicking? If that's the case, why don't you take the Keller family and get out of here before you all end up dead too?"

Logan snapped, "I'm not panicking or scared. But it's insane that a group this big is letting a single black-furred beast mess with our heads like this. I couldn't care less about Ralph dying, but that monster killed one of us right under our noses. I want its damn head."

Andrew did not waste time on Logan's empty rage. He turned his eyes toward the endless mountain ridges around them and muttered, "Have you noticed something weird about that Dire Tiger? It's way too big, and the timing is too perfect. It showed up right when we stepped into the village.

"More importantly, it attacked during the day. Even apex predators like tigers usually avoid humans during daylight."

Logan gritted his teeth and growled, "Who knows where that monster got the nerve to come at us in broad daylight? But I don't care. What matters is that we find it and kill it."

Andrew let out a cold scoff. "Great. Then go track it down. You saw which way it ran, didn't you? Take your crew and go after it."
