There was no other reason.
Among the legendary Fierce Beasts ntioned by the Village Chief, this one was the weakest and easiest to find.
For the past three months, aside from that one Travel event, Wang Mu hadn’t seen any of the other Fierce Beasts the Village Chief had ntioned. The others were as elusive as Divine Dragons; one might glimpse a tail but never the head.
"I’m out now. What are you going to do about it?" Wang Mu placed the Purple Shuo Bow behind his back. "Co on, bite !"
Having said that, Wang Mu jumped down.
Seeing this, the Tiger King imdiately pounced towards Wang Mu with great joy, too eager to even roar.
Its speed was extrely fast. Leaping from mid-air, its paw, like a giant fan, slashed towards Wang Mu, bringing with it a whirlwind, its montum terrifying.
A Hunter without his Hunting Bow is just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, right? thought the Tiger King.
Only...
It saw the human’s body tilt slightly, and its own claw rely grazed past his clothes.
Wang Mu was all smiles.
The Tiger King paused, then with a flick of its agile body, its tail lashed out like an iron whip.
Wang Mu leaped lightly.
The tail landed on a large tree that would take four people to encircle, instantly snapping the ancient tree with its trendous force.
The Tiger King turned and slowly circled Wang Mu, its eyes fixated on him.
The next mont, it attacked again, its claws gleaming with a faint white light as they tore towards Wang Mu.
However, no matter how it attacked, its claws couldn’t land on Wang Mu.
Even his outer grass cape remained untorn.
Wang Mu moved as lightly as a leaf. His movents were sharp as he maneuvered through the complex forest, as if his evasion skill was maxed out, easily avoiding all of the Tiger King’s attacks.
"It’s lonely at the top!" Wang Mu sighed.
Even without attacking, he could now fight directly with Fierce Beasts, just like the Village Chief.
Level 19 Hunting skills! Incredibly agile! A re Beast King was no longer his match.
"ROAR!"
The Tiger King took a lunging step, panting heavily, and landed on a distant tree trunk.
It looked down, watching the human who was even more agile than a monkey.
All its attacks seed to have been anticipated.
Then...
It suddenly opened its mouth, and a white light rapidly condensed.
"Oh?"
Wang Mu was startled. Was this a skill of the Fierce Beast?
This Fierce Beast was also cultivating, just like a Cultivator. Over ti, it would accumulate experience and learn so special spells, eventually evolving into a Demon.
What’s this, White Tiger Intense Light Wave?
Wang Mu’s eyelids twitched slightly; he sensed a faint hint of danger.
But that skill of yours has quite a long wind-up...
After a good few seconds, the Tiger King shook its head violently. In an instant, it spat out a white orb of light that shot towards Wang Mu.
The light orb moved extrely fast, reaching him in the blink of an eye after being unleashed.
Wang Mu leaped vertically, covering a hundred ters in a single bound.
BOOM!
The next mont, the light orb exploded. An intense blast wave, mixed with flying debris, shot out in all directions. Its power was utterly terrifying!
So powerful! A spell cast by this White Crystal Tiger King has such power? Wang Mu was quite surprised.
He felt a tremor of shock as he dodged the debris sent flying by the explosion.
After Hunting for three months, he had rarely seen Fierce Beasts capable of using spells.
Most Fierce Beasts were only physically strong or possessed certain special abilities.
This was the first ti he’d seen a Fierce Beast like the White Crystal Tiger King, capable of casting skills vocally.
Indeed worthy of being the Tiger King! The legendary Fierce Beast of the Newbie Village.
Wang Mu felt sowhat envious.
Even Fierce Beasts could absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for Cultivation. Yet he himself couldn’t absorb Spiritual Energy. Even if he had thods to learn these spells, he couldn’t cultivate them.
Sigh, I really don’t have any offensive skills, Wang Mu felt a bit regretful. Then, in an instant, he leaped beside the White Crystal Tiger King and punched it in the forehead.
BOOM!
The White Crystal Tiger King, having just cast its spell, suddenly felt its head buzz and fell directly from the tree trunk to the ground.
It whimpered. It just couldn’t understand how this mortal’s punch could feel as heavy as a mountain.
"It seems I can only use my fists," Wang Mu mused, looking down at the White Crystal Tiger King at his feet with a sowhat desolate expression.
"..." The Tiger King.
"Hunting successful."
Wang Mu nodded, then used the rope he had prepared to tie the Tiger King up like a hog ready for slaughter, binding it tightly.
He then planned to head back to the village.
The Hunt is temporarily over. Tomorrow, I’ll prepare to start digging for Spiritual ore and stock up on so materials. Also, that mining point the Jinmao Rat ntioned... I need to prepare to dig there and see if I can unearth so Rare Divine Ore...
Wang Mu rubbed his hands together in anticipation.
Just as he was thinking this, distant voices suddenly reached him:
"Help... ..."
"?" Wang Mu halted in his steps.
Could it be a Travel event? That’s not right, there shouldn’t be any Travel events this month!
Every month, after receiving his three Action Points, Wang Mu would always save one until the end of the month. He was just waiting for a day when a Travel event might occur, to see if he could trigger it.
Thinking this, Wang Mu focused his senses.
[Travel: -]
There’s no event... Wang Mu frowned slightly. No Travel event... so this is an unexpected situation?
This was the first ti he had encountered such a scenario.
"Let’s go take a look."
Theoretically, only Travel events ca with choices and different benefits. They were a kind of fixed encounter, a way to et important people and unlock locations. As long as there was a Travel event, Wang Mu would trigger it imdiately.
But an unexpected situation not indicated by Travel... That’s quite tricky... I might very well end up getting nothing out of this.
Still, it was better to check out the situation first.
Wang Mu tied the Tiger King to a large nearby tree.
"Little tiger, be good. I’m waiting to drink your tiger bone soup tonight to strengthen my body."
"?" The White Crystal Tiger King.
I’m a Fierce Beast!
"ROAR!" The White Crystal Tiger King roared in anger, seemingly understanding Wang Mu’s words.
Wang Mu followed the sounds and walked over.
Soon, he saw the source of the voices.
In the distant forest, a woman in tattered robes was frantically leaning against a large tree.
The woman wore a Taoist robe sowhat similar to those of the Shangxiao Sword Sect disciples, though with slight differences. Most likely due to battle, her robe was torn and stained with fresh blood in several places.
Her fair skin stood out in the dim forest. Combined with the bloodstains, it created an alluring yet morbidly beautiful image. Disheveled strands of hair clung to her beautiful and pure cheeks, yet they couldn’t conceal the panic and utter desperation in her expression.
Around her, several exceptionally ferocious Fierce Beasts circled, eyeing her hungrily, their gazes filled with the bloodlust of predators that had found their prey.
Her attire... she looks like a disciple from another Immortal Sect? Wang Mu was sowhat surprised. Are Immortal Sect disciples this weak? Can’t even handle a few Fierce Beasts. These Fierce Beasts are quite common in the Divine Wood Forest!
"Brave warrior..." At the sa ti, the woman seed to see Wang Mu too. A flicker of hope ignited in her eyes, but it dimd sowhat as she seed to notice sothing.
With a pitiful look in her eyes, as if wanting to convey sothing, she finally said softly, "You should leave quickly. These Fierce Beasts are not sothing a re mortal like you can handle... It’s my fate to die here..."
She had just finished speaking when the Fierce Beasts turned their heads towards Wang Mu.
He hadn’t reacted yet. At that, Wang Mu simply nodded, turned, and walked away.
"..." The woman.
