Almost GG

The Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger came to the Three-Eyed Nether Tiger's corpse.

Seeing the Three-Eyed Nether Tiger's miserable state, it let out a pained roar. Roar!!

The roar of a Level 7 Exotic Beast was enough to make the entire mountain forest tremble.

Then, the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger actually began speaking human language.

"Three-Eyed, my most gifted child, I will avenge you."

"I will turn the human who killed you into a Ghost Companion, never to be reborn." The Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger's words sent chills down one's spine.

As soon as it finished speaking, the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger leaped into the air.

It sniffed at the human scent in the surroundings, finally locking onto a direction before turning into a streak of black light and flying away again.

As Su Luo flew through the sky, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.

An idea suddenly struck him, and he took several jars of seasoning from his backpack.

Cumin, pepper salt, chili powder...

He had originally brought them to sprinkle over bread and whet his appetite.

He had not expected them to come in handy here.

Pinching his nose, he opened the jars.

He poured some over his head and rubbed it onto his clothes.

He scattered the rest into the surrounding air, masking his original scent.

Then he hurled the empty bottles in different directions.

After that, he continued on his desperate escape.

Before long, the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger arrived there.

The air was filled with countless chaotic scents, infuriating it.

Moreover, those scents were all drifting in different directions.

With its intelligence, it naturally knew the human had done this on purpose.

The goal was to disrupt its sense of smell and waste its time.

Yet despite knowing that, it truly had no way to deal with him.

It could only redden its eyes and desperately sniff out the faint trace of human scent in the air.

Second by second, time passed.

Relying on its keen sense of smell, it finally found the direction of that trace of human scent.

It opened its huge jaws, a cruel smile appearing on its face.

With a whoosh, its figure vanished from the spot.

Just as Su Luo was flying with all his strength.

A mass of black light had already appeared behind him.

Before Su Luo could react, the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger had flown above his head.

Su Luo only felt as though a huge dark cloud had suddenly enveloped him.

Just as he was about to look up at the sky.

A tiger claw was already before his eyes.

At that moment, Su Luo no longer had time to use the Paw Ability.

Bang!!

The Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger's furious strike sent Su Luo crashing from the sky to the ground.

Su Luo's body spun out of control.

Like a comet, he smashed into the ground with a deafening boom. Boom!!

The tremendous impact set off a blast of air and kicked up a cloud of dust.

When the dust settled.

Su Luo lay limply on the ground.

Every bone in his body was shattered, all four limbs broken, blood continuously pouring from his mouth.

The Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger's furious strike.

Had dealt Su Luo a devastating blow.

Fortunately, Su Luo possessed the Phoenix Body and still clung to his last breath.

Had it been anyone else, they would have been dead beyond dead.

The Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger descended from the sky and stood beside Su Luo.

Its eyes were fixed tightly on Su Luo's half-dead body.

It seemed to want Su Luo to experience the agony of life slowly slipping away.

Under such severe injuries, Su Luo closed his eyes and gradually lost consciousness.

Seeing Su Luo faint, the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger raised its claw, intending to deliver the final blow.

But the instant it raised its claw, the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger froze in place.

Because several meters ahead of it.

At some unknown point, a strange man in ragged clothes and reeking of sour stench had suddenly appeared.

And it had no idea how he had appeared there. At that moment.

The silent man suddenly spoke.

"Wuya~ wuya~"

"Little tiger, hurry and leave."

"While I... still do not wish to kill you."

Hearing this, the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger's pupils shook violently. It was the first time it had suffered such humiliation.

But as an Exotic Beast that had awakened intelligence.

It knew that at a time like this, it absolutely could not act rashly.

"Who are you?" the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger asked.

The man did not answer its question.

Instead, he took out a piece of bread and began chewing it.

"Little tiger, if you still refuse to leave, you will not be able to leave."

Then, the man slightly released his aura.

The moment the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger sensed the man's aura, its entire tiger body trembled.

It immediately turned into a mass of black light and fled into the distance at the fastest speed of its life.

In the blink of an eye, the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger had vanished without a trace.

The man lowered his head, looked at Su Luo's body covered in wounds, and let out a deep sigh. "Sigh~"

"Though I saved your life for now, with injuries this severe, you probably still will not survive."

"Still, at least I stopped it from turning you into a Ghost Companion. That counts as repaying you for the meal."

After muttering to himself, the man turned to leave.

But Su Luo's body suddenly burst into blue flames.

The man, who had just turned around to leave, was thoroughly shocked.

"What kind of ability is this? Such peculiar flames."

The flames burned over Su Luo's body, yet did not scorch his clothes in the slightest.

The man tentatively reached out his hand.

The moment he touched the flames, the immense power within them shocked him once again.

With only a slight touch, he felt many of his injuries recover.

"What powerful healing power! It is infinitely close to regeneration!"

"Even that fellow Aries's healing ability is nowhere near this terrifying." After thinking briefly.

The man crouched down and sat cross-legged beside Su Luo.

He held his hands above Su Luo's body and began warming them over the flames.

A free chance to recover was too good to waste.

Before long, Su Luo's body rapidly returned to normal under the blue flames' treatment.

His eyelids and fingers twitched slightly.

Seeing that Su Luo was about to wake up, the man stood and swiftly left the place.

The fewer people who knew of his whereabouts, the better.

Su Luo slowly opened his eyes and looked up at the darkening sky.

Then he suddenly came to his senses and sprang upright like a carp flipping from water.

He looked around, but there was no trace of the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger.

He stood up and felt his body from top to bottom. He was not a ghost; he still had a physical body.

What was going on?

Where had the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger gone?

He had actually not been torn apart by the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger and turned into a Ghost Companion?

He was not surprised that his body had fully recovered.

After all, with the Phoenix Body, dying was not so easy.

But he truly could not understand why the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger had not finished him off and turned him into a Ghost Companion.

Could a passing powerhouse have saved me?

He looked around, but there were no signs of any battle between a powerhouse and the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger. In the end, since he could not figure it out, he stopped thinking about it.

The sky was growing late, and this was not a place to linger.

It would be troublesome if the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger came back for another round.

He flew into the sky and continued rushing toward Tianshui City.

Behind a large tree somewhere, the man watched Su Luo's departing back with bright, focused eyes.

"Kid, if fate allows, we will meet again."

"Perhaps one day, we will become colleagues."

After flying at high speed for half an hour.

The sky had now completely darkened.

From afar, Su Luo saw the brightly lit Tianshui City.
