Chapter 122 - An Exotic Beast That Knows How to Grow Flowers (2/2)

-Are they sick in the head?-

It was clear that they were no match for the tiger, and yet they were adamant in heading for their deaths. Could it be that they were not only ugly, but also had issues with their brains?

The flying tiger beast cared for none of that, however. Seeing the three creatures pouncing at it, its figure disappeared from sight again, instantly appearing at the side of the leftmost ugly fish creature. Its sharp claws accurately swiped at the base of that ugly fish creature’s head like a surgical knife, scarlet blood flowing out like spring water.

Seeing this, Zhang Che sighed inwardly, and ordered the Purple Jade Condor to get further away from the island. “Ah Zi, back off a little more.”

Looking at the situation, there wouldn’t be any further suspense in this battle.

Once the flying tiger got rid of the two remaining ugly fish creatures, Zhang Che had no guarantee that it wouldn’t come chasing after him. Thus, it was better to stay further away, buying a little more time if he had to escape.

The battle developed as expected. The remaining two ugly fish creatures couldn’t run from the flying tiger’s attacks. Their heads were swiped open, and the creatures fell to the ground, struggling for their final breaths.

After eliminating all its foes, the flying tiger let out a low, proud roar. After that, it actually walked leisurely up to the corpse of an ugly fish creature, extending one of its paws, and started dissecting it.

Zhang Che’s mouth was wide open as he watched the act.

-Is there a deep grudge between you two? That you had to tear its corpse to pieces?-

Zhang Che was sure that the flying tiger wasn’t doing it for food, because that fellow’s eyes showed zero signs of emotion, as if it was doing a normal task. Its shockingly sharp claws cut the ugly fish creature’s head to pieces, allowing the dark red blood to splatter everywhere.

Zhang Che’s hairs were all standing on end!

– I’d better leave this freaking gods-damned place! If that flying tiger thinks that I’m a threat looking to snatch that bewitching flower in the middle and kills me off, then cuts me into pieces like that, I’d really be dying without a burial, countless times worse than being torn from limb to limb!-

“Eh? Wait a minute!”

The Purple Jade Condor had received Zhang Che’s order and was already turning to leave, beating its wings furiously when Zhang Che suddenly called it to a halt.

To Zhang Che’s shock, he noticed in his peripheral vision that the flying tiger actually picked up a piece of the ugly fish creature’s corpse and flashed back to the center of the island, throwing the meat at the intertwining vines with a devout look.

In the next moment, it looked as if the stacked up vines had come to life, reaching for the huge piece of meat and coiling around it. When they finally stopped moving, Zhang Che discovered, to his astonishment, that the meat was completely gone, only a few pieces of pale white bones left on the ground.

“Th-th-this is freaking incredible!”

Zhang Che felt a gust of demonic wind blowing. His entire body felt cold, and couldn’t resist shivering. His eyes were filled with fear.

That wasn’t the end to the flying tiger’s actions. It kept going back and forth between the center of the island and the ugly fish creatures’ corpses, tossing them piece by piece to the vines. The vines would gather at once, seemingly afraid of falling behind, and devour the corpses cleanly, leaving only a small, broken pile of white bones.

– Could it be that this huge flower is being grown by this flying tiger?- Zhang Che now suspected, after watching this strange scene unfold.
