Chapter 378 White Monster - Part 3 (2/2)
When he felt he was ready, the weather suddenly turned for the worse almost immediately, as if the forest itself wanted Jin to lose Dark clouds covered the skies, and a heavy gale blew through the forest and the abandoned temple Still, Jin did not hesitate as he went to the abandoned te it as hard as he could in the open tehout the forest and in no ti Jin could satiate it He gulped his saliva in as hewhich was now attached in front of Jin's chest, acting as an ihted up the stick he used to whack the gong It rapped with straps of cloth and doused in oil in advance which startled the White Tiger a little
GONNGG GONNGG Jin hit the gong with his burning, hot wooden stick while holding his katana on the other hand ”Coet this over and done with! At the end of this one of us will have a h er to the best of his ability
Needless to say, the White Tiger of the West took the bait and went forward However, being the king of the forest, the White Tiger had no previous experience nor encountered the sort of traps that Jinaround the terounds, siht creating with the tools he found in the temple hall Within those depressions, he carved sharp bamboo stakes and stuck thee prayer papers to cover the small depressions and masked it with soe of the prayer paper to reers did not have the colour vision like huer of the West True enough, as the tiger was charging forward, it accidentally stepped into a depression and the stakes pierced hie of the White Tiger's stumble to attack it
However, unlike its paws, the fur of the White Tiger was similar to strands of metal Ba it to only clash with the strands but hence Jin's slash did not connect
Despite that, Jin was quick to react as he had prepared for soer of the West was infa the element of Metal, one of the Five basic Elements noted in China That hy the De ele on his chest as hard as he could,hier with his Katana What's more was that Jin had purposely heated his katana under the influence of oil and charcoal stones he had found in the Te on his traps, Jin began heated his katana in the combination of oil and charcoal stones so that it could potentially be able to inflict soe with the element of fire (Heat) before it cooled back to norrowled in pain and used his body to perfor him towards the temple doors which wastowards his prey, the White Tiger removed his paay fro leap towards Jin in order to avoid the other possible traps on the ground
Jin tried to recover as fast as he could, but the pain was al ”Ah, if only I could just die, this would all be over” Part of Jin felt that way, but the other half of him knew that it would never end unless he quit his state of er slaht beside a trap trigger Hence, he took his wakizashi+ out and pointed at the direction of the leaping tiger
The White Tiger did not care about a single blade edge pointed at it It was after all the embodiment of metal Its metallic steel fur would no doubt block the attack and the White Tiger would make sure that he chewed on the bones of this insolent prey till they break into many pieces
”Heh, sucker This is the hardest trap I have for you in store” Jin smiled as his slaer rope, causing the trap to activate With no ti pounce, Jin hoped that the trap would do the trick
And it did
A Buddhist prayer urn filled with incense ashes swung froer as it was about to strike Jin The Urn broke into pieces upon contact which caused the tiger to be knocked down and the ashes created a cloud of billowing s the powdery residue of incense sticks to hide Jin's next move as he took the chance… to run into the teround
The tiger tried to growl but it coughed fron object that hit it gave it a very terrible headache in return The White Tiger took soet away fro and vision
But what the tiger did not expect was that the wooden steps leading to the temple door were booby trapped too Jin had noticed the shoddy condition of the wooden temple steps after years of abandonment but still decided to utilise the temple as much as he and time could permit
He placed more of those sharpened baround with much difficulty (as he had to ensure that the steps did not look like it was being er was)
In the atteuessed that he did the trap to the point that it looked like a nors even more complicated, he poured some oil on the wooden steps to ned to kill but to hinder the White Tiger'strap in the er, that would definitely be a bonus)
Without question, the tiger who visually handicapped from the incense ashes and driven by instinct, made it fall into that trap which it could have noriven its acute perception The wooden platforer's backward steps, and soed to partially pierce into the tibial s
”Time for Phase 2…” Jin covered his face with a wrapped cloth that was hanging on his neck so he would not inhale the ashes and used all his strength to close the front tee wooden security bar
