Chapter 970 - 968: Divine Tiger Array
In this situation, it seems somewhat cruel, but their lives are more important.
Chen Tianlong managed a bitter smile and walked over. Just as he was about to pick up the two prey in his hands, he suddenly heard a rustling sound from the grass. At this moment, a tiger’s roar seemed to emanate from a distant place, prompting Chen Tianlong to quickly look in all directions.
However, apart from the breeze blowing through, there was nothing.
"Rustle..."
The sound in the grass came again, and Chen Tianlong crouched down suddenly, picking up three stones in his hand. These were his "bullets," ready to launch an attack at any time.
"Woof woof!"
Suddenly, a little white dog jumped out from the grass, causing Chen Tianlong to jump back in shock. He quickly took a deep breath; this was the Divine Dog Shen Yan had tamed.
"Damn, Divine Dog, what are you doing, hiding here trying to scare people, huh?"
Chen Tianlong rolled his eyes at the Divine Dog, grabbed the two rabbits from the ground, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and then started walking toward the ancient fortress buildings.
The Divine Dog was clearly a bit scared, afraid that Chen Tianlong would hit it later, after all, it was out here for fun.
Back in the room, the two young ladies had already set up a fire, waiting for Chen Tianlong’s return. And in Chen Tianlong’s hands, besides the rabbits, he had also gathered quite a bit of firewood.
"Chen Tianlong, you’re back!" Lu Xiaoyu looked at the rabbits in Chen Tianlong’s hands, knowing that tonight they would have a delicious meal, and being very hungry, she almost drooled.
"Hehe, yes, tonight we can feast." Chen Tianlong raised the rabbit in his hand and sat down on the nearby stone steps, beginning to clean the rabbits’ innards.
About half an hour later, the three of them started roasting the rabbits.
This night, roasting under the fire and eating rabbit meat was quite pleasant.
But at around one in the morning, suddenly there came a muffled tiger’s roar from inside the ancient fortress, as if it echoed from hell, extremely terrifying.
Although Lu Xiaoyu was a cultivator, she was naturally most afraid of wild beasts, especially tigers.
Upon hearing this sound, she immediately woke up and walked to Chen Tianlong’s side. Chen Tianlong was very alert; upon hearing a sound, he immediately opened his eyes and, seeing Lu Xiaoyu, hurriedly said, "Xiaoyu, don’t be afraid. I guess there are tigers around here, but with me here, you can rest assured!"
"Roar!"
As soon as Chen Tianlong finished speaking, a deep tiger’s roar came from outside, even startling Shen Yan, who hurriedly grabbed a dagger and moved closer to Chen Tianlong.
"Chen Tianlong, it really seems there’s a tiger, it’s so scary," Shen Yan couldn’t help but say.
"Hmm, you stay here and don’t run around. I’ll go out and see what’s happening."
Chen Tianlong thought he couldn’t just sit and wait for death. If there really was a tiger, he had to take it out outside, otherwise, if it came into the cabin and attacked the two young ladies, that would be terrible.
At this time, the Divine Dog also went over; it was a Spirit Beast and could naturally sense the presence of wild beasts around. Seeing the Divine Dog walking ahead, Chen Tianlong knew it sensed something.
"Divine Dog, do you know where it is?" Chen Tianlong attempted to ask.
"Woof woof..."
The Divine Dog barked twice, indicating it knew.
Chen Tianlong nodded, having spent some time with it, roughly understood its meaning, so the simple actions of the Divine Dog helped Chen Tianlong catch the main point.
Following the Divine Dog towards the gates of the ancient fortress, it was a patch of grass here, with the outside sky turned black, making it hard to see anything. Most importantly, apart from moonlight, there was no light at all here.
After observing for a while, Chen Tianlong didn’t detect any movement, but the Divine Dog remained vigilant towards the front.
Chen Tianlong knew the tiger was nearby; otherwise, the Divine Dog wouldn’t be acting this way.
Having understood this, Chen Tianlong closed his eyes, standing still, motionless. But he wasn’t waiting for death, instead wary of his surroundings; in Chen Tianlong’s vision, everything was unusually bright.
Sure enough, after a patch of grass shook, a gust of fierce wind blew over; Chen Tianlong discovered among the grass, a tiger with its blood-red mouth opened wide, was poised and ready to attack him.
Just at this moment, the Divine Dog suddenly ran in front of Chen Tianlong, seemingly trying to pull him away. Chen Tianlong was startled and quickly said, "Divine Dog, what’s up?"
The Divine Dog shook its head, not sure how to communicate with Chen Tianlong, and Chen Tianlong couldn’t understand the Divine Dog’s meaning, remaining undeterred.
Suddenly, the tiger let out a fierce roar, sprinting out of the grass with claws bared, pouncing aggressively at Chen Tianlong.
Whizz!
Chen Tianlong suddenly vanished, causing the tiger to miss its target and be very frustrated.
"Boom!"
Just as the tiger was in a daze, Chen Tianlong returned once more, and his right leg had already kicked out like lightning, hitting the tiger squarely on the belly, sending it flying.
After being kicked, the tiger rolled around on the ground, evidently suffering a significant injury.
No wonder, Chen Tianlong now had the strength of a Celestial Dao star. Being hit by him wasn’t a small matter.
Chen Tianlong was thrilled, never expecting the tiger to be so easy to defeat, directly stepping forward to teach it a harsh lesson, preventing another sneak attack at night.
Just then, the tiger rolled once, suddenly stood up quickly, and a pink flame ignited on its body; this was the result of Powerful Qi burning.
"Woof woof..."
At this point, the Divine Dog couldn’t help but bark twice, reminding Chen Tianlong.
And Chen Tianlong wasn’t an idiot; seeing this pink Powerful Qi flame, he was greatly shocked; this was a Qi flame that only a very powerful Spirit Beast could emit.
"Damn, so it’s a Spirit Beast Tiger. I was wondering how it could live in such a barren place," Chen Tianlong muttered a few times.
"Roar!"
The Divine Tiger stood up, its eyes glowing green, looking at Chen Tianlong in front, somewhat angry.
It had been cultivating here for decades, finally spotting a few tender humans who could become food for days, but hadn’t anticipated this guy would have strength.
"What’s with the roaring, you dumb tiger? A perfectly good forest you refuse to stay in, insisting on coming here to scare people," Chen Tianlong cursed at the Divine Tiger.
"Roar!"
The Divine Tiger seemed to understand Chen Tianlong’s words, and being scolded in this way, it became furious, directly pouncing over with a leap. The jump was really unimaginable, just like a rocket launch, it collided with Chen Tianlong in the blink of an eye.
Chen Tianlong’s eyes widened; he had just realized the Divine Tiger was about to jump to evade, but didn’t expect it to crash into him, this leap was indeed heaven-defying.
"Boom!"
Chen Tianlong found himself flying backward in the air, thinking this was over.
But realized it wasn’t, the next moment, before Chen Tianlong even landed, the Divine Tiger once more flashed in front of him.
Boom!
Another strike, Chen Tianlong’s body, like a volleyball player passing the ball, never touched the ground, being hit by the Divine Tiger in a five-hit combo.
Upon landing, Chen Tianlong felt as if his whole body had been shattered, completely exhausted.
