Gu Yundong's eyes widened. Tigers?

"You're going to fight the tigers? Have you fought them before?"

"I did." Once, when he went deep into the mountains, he encountered an old hunter who was bitten by a tiger and was almost forced into a corner. He was the one who knocked the tiger down.

Later on, the old hunter dealt with the tiger and gave him the bulk of the money.
