After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1224: The Competition Begins, Out
"Meow—"
Jinbao quickly dodged the attack, feeling furious. It glared at Zhouzhou, who was lying on the bed, and with a flick of its hind legs, it flew toward her, slapping her on the head.
This heartless creature! It had crossed mountains and rivers to see her, endured so much on the way, and this was how she treated it???
Zhouzhou quickly grabbed it with one hand, shielding her head with the other, awkwardly dodging the attack. "Jinbao, what are you doing here?"
Hearing this, Jinbao became even angrier.
Oh, so now it couldn't even recognize its footsteps, huh?
It knew it! It just knew it!
It knew that as soon as she went outside, she'd be running wild, just like a mouse in a rice bin, but now that she was in the beautiful world, no one was looking after her, right?
And she wanted to bring back more little ones, huh?
Jinbao was furious, scratching at Zhouzhou's hand.
Zhouzhou was startled and instinctively let go. Jinbao fell onto the bed but immediately charged toward her head again.
It was going to scratch her bald, make her an ugly mess, and see who would want her then.
For animals, their fur was their most precious possession.
It was going to scratch her into a hideous creature, so she couldn't go out flirting anymore.
Every time she went on a mission, Jinbao was anxious.
It wasn't that it was worried about her. Although she was heartless and had many tricks, her martial arts were impressive.
It was that very skill that had confused Jinbao at the beginning, making it follow her. Otherwise, how could it have ended up in this situation?
People fear picking the wrong wolf, and cats fear following the wrong person—that's exactly what happened to it.
Why was its life so miserable?
Jinbao's heart ached, and it scratched even more vigorously.
Before long, Zhouzhou's hair was in disarray, looking like a bird's nest, with plenty of strands pulled out. The pain made her grit her teeth.
She didn't cry when she got injured, but now, she really wanted to cry!
Zhouzhou covered her head, her eyes filled with tears, looking at Jinbao pitifully. "Wuwu, Jinbao, stop! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. I really sensed the presence of other animals."
Jinbao was even angrier now. She was making excuses—there were no other animals!
Fine, fine, it was all because she couldn't stop thinking about them, causing her to imagine things!
It swiped a paw down again.
Zhouzhou, even though she couldn't see, could feel the wind of the swipe and quickly dodged.
Jinbao missed, stumbling, and fell onto the bed. It immediately sprang up with a flip.
It dared to resist now, huh? Had she grown some skills?
It was about to attack again when Zhouzhou suddenly grabbed it and pulled it into her arms, placing a finger on her lips, signaling for silence. She perked up her ears and looked cautiously outside.
Seeing this, Jinbao immediately calmed down.
Though it loved being jealous, it knew when to be serious.
This was the poise and grace of the rightful partner!
Jinbao lightly patted Zhouzhou's hand, then pointed outside.
Zhouzhou immediately understood. She gently released Jinbao, who jumped up to the windowsill and landed gracefully, making no sound.
It sniffed the air deeply, and its eyes turned dark.
Indeed, there was the scent of other animals!
Not only that, it also smelled the presence of murderous intent.
At first, it thought Zhouzhou had brought back another pet, but now it realized something was wrong.
Zhouzhou quickly dressed and stood up, quietly approaching the window.

Exchanging a glance with Jinbao, she suddenly threw open the window and jumped out. Jinbao followed with a sharp "meow," its claws flying out, instantly blinding the eyes of a jackal outside.
The jackal yelped in pain, and other jackals responded with howls.
Zhouzhou's expression grew grim as she looked around and noticed several animals rushing toward them.
Not just jackals, but wolves, leopards, lions, and tigers—all of them were fierce and menacing, heading straight for them.
This wasn't good!
Zhouzhou immediately shouted, "Everyone, be careful!"
Almost as soon as she spoke, the jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards jumped in through the window.
Unlike her adopted Wangcai, Laifu, and Little Goldie, these beasts were covered in blood—evidence that they had eaten humans.
They didn't seem to have wandered in by accident, but instead appeared to have a coordinated, planned attack.
Zhouzhou quickly drew out a dagger and swiftly slashed the jackal's throat. She exchanged a glance with Jinbao. "Let's go!"
At the same time, sounds of fighting broke out from the other rooms.
Everyone had been exhausted after a day of preparation, so they slept deeply.
But even so, they weren't completely out of it. As soon as Zhouzhou shouted, they immediately woke up and leaped into battle with the beasts.
The problem was that there were too many of them.
Zhouzhou charged in, pulling everyone out one by one.
Three of the ten were injured.
Though not severely, it was enough to affect the competition.
Just then, gunshots rang out, and smoke appeared above a teammate's head, the words "Hong Cheng, out" echoing.
What?!
Hearing this, Zhouzhou immediately made a decision. "Retreat!"
Everyone quickly reacted.
But with enemies in front and beasts behind, they were caught in a pincer.
They shielded the three injured members in the middle, and Zhouzhou quickly set up a formation to block the beasts.
The beasts were easy to avoid, but the bullets were harder to dodge.
Finally, they found a stone monument, barely using it as cover.
Zhouzhou gritted her teeth and shouted out, "Wasn't the competition supposed to start tomorrow?"
Augusta's voice floated over. "Oh, the rules changed."
His tone was indifferent, as if it couldn't be more normal, and there was no need for any consultation with them.
A cold light flashed in Zhouzhou's eyes.
It was only the first day, and within less than ten minutes of the competition beginning, they had lost four people—almost half of their team!
He was clearly doing this on purpose!
But arguing now was useless.
It was obvious that the organizers were on Augusta's side since they were all on the same team.
Fine, so this is how it's going to be.
She had been wondering if her approach was too aggressive, but now it seemed she had overestimated herself.
Compared to some people, she was still too kind!
"What do we do now, Zhouzhou?" Fang Zichong asked anxiously.
This was not the start they had anticipated for the competition.
Losing four fighters right off the bat put them at a significant disadvantage, which was extremely bad for them.
Zhouzhou's mind was racing. "Retreat first."
Given their current situation, it wasn't advantageous. They had to get away first.
Augusta, she wouldn't forget him!
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhouzhou moved her wrist and tossed a ball.
Augusta thought it was a hidden weapon and instinctively fired. The shot hit the ball, and with a loud explosion, smoke poured out.
Augusta's heart sank. He stepped forward, only to realize that there was no one there.
His face instantly darkened—she had escaped.
But that was fine. The game had just begun. If she was too weak, then this competition wouldn't be worth it.
She'd better run far enough!
