Translator: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales
A strong and muscular Siberian tiger suddenly came from the lush and dense forested mountain. In the wake of the tiger’s roar in the mountain forest, the burst waves of its voice spread in all directions. And the baneful creature that was about to enter the formation array suddenly turned around. With its extreme speed, it disappeared from Tang Xiu’s perception range in just a two or three seconds.
“Damn!” Tang Xiu cursed in a whisper, but he still kept lurking in the grove.
“What happened?” Miao Wentang whispered.
“I just noticed that baneful creature was about to approach the formation array I’ve deployed, but a Siberian tiger suddenly came, causing this baneful creature to be startled. This thing is very timid and extremely cautious. I can tell that it’s also highly intelligent.” Tang Xiu said.
“How come it’s able to do that? Does it mean that we’ve waited in vain today?” Miao Wentang said.
Tang Xiu said, “If it is you, when you have something extremely tempting in front of you, and then something suddenly scared you away, are you just going to give up?”
“Definitely not!” Miao Wentang shook his head.
“Since you won’t give up, I think that creature is also the same. Let’s just wait here! I believe that thing is suspicious of an ambush, and it will be back after it clearly figures out the situation.” Tang Xiu said.
Half an hour later.
The Siberian tiger that was rushing over, arrived near the bonfire. From time to time, it approached the fire as though wanting to see clearly whether the bonfire had any delicious things.
“It came back!”
A satisfied smile appeared on Tang Xiu’s face. That creature entered the scope of his perception again. He found that this mysterious creature was becoming more cautious, even its speed was much slower than before. That baneful creature only used a few minutes to traverse a two-hundred-meter distance before it appeared in the thick patch of grasses near the bonfire.
A faint blue ray of light glinted from its eyes. Through the opening slit amidst the grasses, it looked at the tiger by the bonfire. Its body immediately shrunk, and suddenly flashed in the next moment. It was as though a hunter that lurked in the dark and only moved when the time was right. Along with the backlash of its powerful bipedal legs, its vigorous body instantly flashed in towards the Siberian tiger. Its extreme speed was even ten times faster than Tang Xiu’s.
Within an instant, the baneful creature suddenly revealed four sharp claws from its hairy feet when it was about three or four meters away from the Siberian tiger. As it then fiercely slashed at the neck of the tiger.
“Hiss….”
The Siberian tiger’s fur was easily torn open by the ominous thing’s claws as blood dyed its hair in the next moment. The creature didn’t stop its action. After its strike succeeded, it slashed its sharp claws one after another, ripping the Siberian tiger’s body.
“Roar…”
Traces of bloodstains continued appearing on the Siberian tiger’s body. Such acute, piercing pain caused the tiger to roar. Although its movement was also very swift and vigorous, however, it was much weaker compared to that baneful creature. It desperately tried to fight back and counterattack, but it could only touch the hair of that mysterious creature.
It’s time!
Tang Xiu, who was hiding amidst the trees, suddenly flashed forward. He instantly sent his Star Force to the piece of jade in his hand and quickly threw it to the core of the formation array.
In that instant, the entire formation array was activated.
Miao Wentang also quickly came out of the trees as he stood beside Tang Xiu. He looked at the two creatures fighting inside. But now, the mysterious creature was as though a fly that flew around the Siberian tiger. With a pleasantly surprised expression on his face, he quickly asked, “Brother Tang, you’ve already activated the formation array and trapped them inside?”
“Yes!” A smiling expression was outlined on the corner of Tang Xiu’s mouth.
“Since they can’t escape, they will have to fight with each other inside. I can tell that that Siberian tiger will surely die. You can see that thing’s speed. Even if I joined hands with Brother Shao, we can only inflict minor wounds to that thing, while it’d give us heavy injuries. Brother Tang, don’t be deceived by its small build. Its strength could be said as horrifying. If it fully unleashes its strength, even if I and Brother Shao join our strength, we’ll still be no match for that thing.”
“So powerful?” Tang Xiu was secretly surprised.
Miao Wentang said, “Yes, it’s really that powerful. This mysterious creature is just playing on that Siberian tiger intentionally. It simply didn’t put forth much effort. So you know that if that thing fully unleashes its full strength, and that Siberian tiger can last for ten seconds, that means that tiger is already very powerful.”
For a time, Tang Xiu was silent. Then, he said, “You wait outside the array! I’ll go inside to help that Siberian tiger. If it could injure this baneful creature, it will be easier for us to deal with it.”
After having said that, he stepped into the array and hid in the core position. Then, he took dozens of Lightning Symbol drawn charms from his pocket.
“Bzzt…”
As he waved two Lightning Symbol charms to the air, the yellow paper charm runes burst open and bombed the mysterious creature from above. Then, it turned into a line of lightning the size of a finger as it zapped toward the creature’s head.
“Zap! Zap! Zap!”
The lightning path split as it struck the baneful creature, causing its body to turn stiff. Its scurrying speed suddenly dropped. Its hair and skin were torn and charred and even blood stains appeared faintly on its body.
“Roar……”
The Siberian tiger suddenly charged toward the baneful creature. Its sharp claws finally swept over the ominous creature’s body, leaving a few bleeding wounds on it.
Tang Xiu secretly sneered and unceasingly threw the Lightning Symbols in his hands. A lightning line condensed as though a condensing gust of wind as it continued its downpour and zapped the baneful creature’s body.
