Chapter 681: Fake Meat? (1/2)
Everyone was rooted the where they stood. What they just witnessed was something so ridiculous that they can't even believe it. It feels like they were in the middle of an absurd dream...a Berserker got done in that easily?
Weren't Berserkers supposed to strong? Then how can somebody explain this...
Unfortunately for them, Little Tiger doesn't seem to be interested in their thoughts, he didn't even want to waste his breath on them. He just walked-up to the stacks of supplies and began grabbing everything that he can.
It was only at this point that the rest finally reacted.
”Shit! Old Sixth got done in by this brat! Get him!”
”Don't let him take even a grain from the supplies!”
Those who were guarding the supplies immediately charged towards him. Once again, fear gripped Rosa and Fatty's hearts. However it would seem that their worries were unfounded because...
*Slap!* *Slap!* *Slap!*
Nobody even saw him move but the crisp slapping sound rung on their ears clearly. What followed that was the ridiculous scene of guards' faces contorting, some of them even had their teeth flying away as they flew like swatted flies.
All this while Little Tiger carried a whole damn carcass of a demonic beast and a couple sacks of rice plus other stuff. It was an absurd sight, seeing how a young man carrying all this weight without even looking remotely bothered.
Little Tiger whistled merrily as he carried his supplies. He then passed through the crowd who were making way for him. He took a route that allowed him to walk near the dumbfounded Rosa and Fatty as he said:
”Come with me if you want.”
It was a simple statement. He didn't even stop walking after saying that nor did he bothered waiting for them. He just continued on his way and whether they follow him or not, depends on their decision.
”Shit! Shit!” Fatty immediately scrambled to his feet. He then pulled up Rosa who's brain is still not working properly due to shock.
Fatty kept cursing as he followed Little Tiger. He was frustrated because of the sheer absurdity of the situation. Since when did Little Tiger become so fierce? Even though he kind of cheated, he still took down a genuine Berserker easily, and then he swatted the rest like some annoying flies.
He was nervous. He knew that this matter will surely blow up and will soon be heard by the Tribe Leaders. Little Tiger just thoroughly offended them and they will surely hunt him down. Fatty didn't understand why Little Tiger looked so confident but what really made Fatty confused is how he himself was acting?
Knowing that Little Tiger is grave danger, knowing that the Tribe Leaders who are strong enough to rip apart demonic beasts, will surely hunt Little Tiger down, even after knowing all of this, why did he still followed him? Why did his instincts screamed at him to 'Follow him unless you want to die!' Just why?
Wouldn't this seem like he's directly throwing himself at the jaws of the Demonic Beasts? Additionally, Little Tiger gave them a choice. He didn't force him to follow him, he made a suggestion. So why would his instincts scream at him this way? He didn't understand but right now, as he follows Little Tiger, he felt like he was making the right decision.
Whether this will come around a bit him in the ass is something that he decided to worry about in the future...
As for Rosa...well, she allowed herself to be dragged along. She hadn't said anything so far even since the whole spectacle unfolded. She just watched and reacted. Similar to Fatty, all logic told him that it would be best to stay away from Little Tiger because he's in danger and going with him will endanger herself too but her instincts also told her otherwise.
Rosa can't really decide for herself so she just allowed something to decide for him, and Fatty stepped-up to the plate. If she dies today, then she could just blame Fatty in the afterlife in order to justify her vanity but if this turns out to be the correct move, then she wouldn't mind marrying Fatty in the future.
At least, that's what she's thinking currently.
Fatty who's dragging Rosa along stopped when he saw Little Tiger stopping. This was when Fatty noticed that they weren't in Little Tiger's hideout.
”Hup!” Little Tiger adjusted the carcass on his shoulder and raised his hand. All of a sudden, Fatty saw Little Tiger waving his hand, causing a bright ripple to appear in front of him. Fatty was dumbfounded but it didn't end there...
He saw an invisible film, parting in front of them. Revealing an astonishing sight for Fatty and Rosa to gawk at. Little Tiger looked at them and said: ”Go in...”
