The Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger approached the corpse of the Three-Eyed Nether Tiger.

Looking at the miserable state of the Three-Eyed Nether Tiger, it let out a roar of pain.

ROAR!!

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

Immediately after, the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger, just like a human, began to speak human words.

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

"The human who killed you, I will turn them into a Ghost Companion, never to be reborn." the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger said chillingly.

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

Sniffing the scent of humans in the surroundings, it finally confirmed a direction and once again turned into a black light, flying away.

Su Luo, flying through the sky, felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.

An idea struck him, and he took out several cans of seasonings from his backpack.

Cumin, salt and pepper, chili...

They were originally meant to add flavor to his bread to make it more appetizing.

He hadn't expected to use them here.

Pinching his nose, he opened the lids of the cans.

He poured some onto his head and smeared it on his clothes.

He then sprinkled the rest into the surrounding air, covering his original scent.

Afterward, he forcefully threw the empty bottles in different directions.

Then, he continued on his journey to escape.

Not long after, the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger arrived at this location.

The air was filled with many miscellaneous scents, which made it extremely enraged.

Moreover, these scents were all drifting in different directions.

With its intelligence, it naturally knew that this was done intentionally by the human.

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

However, there was nothing it could do about the human doing this.

It could only stare with red eyes, sniffing hard at the trace of human scent contained in the air.

Time ticked by, second by second.

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

Opening its large mouth, a cruel smile appeared on its face.

Its figure vanished from its original spot with a whoosh.

Just as Su Luo was flying with all his might.

A ball of black light had already appeared behind him.

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

Su Luo felt as if he was suddenly shrouded by a large mass of dark clouds.

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

A tiger's claw had already arrived in front of him.

At this moment, Su Luo no longer had time to activate his Paw Ability.

BANG!!

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

Su Luo's body was out of control.

He crashed into the ground like a comet, emitting a loud noise.

BOOM!!

The immense impact created a blast wave, kicking up a cloud of dust.

When the dust settled.

Su Luo lay powerlessly on the ground.

All his bones were shattered, his limbs were broken, and he was spitting blood ceaselessly from his mouth.

The Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger's enraged strike.

Had caused Su Luo's body to suffer severe injuries.

Fortunately, Su Luo possessed the Phoenix Body and was still clinging to life by a thread.

Anyone else would have already been dead beyond any possibility of recovery.

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

Its eyes were fixed on the half-dead Su Luo.

It seemed to want Su Luo to feel the pain of his life slowly draining away.

Under such immense damage, Su Luo closed his eyes and slowly passed out.

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

As soon as it raised its claws, the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger froze in place.

Because just a few meters in front of it.

At some unknown time, a strange man in ragged clothes, exuding a foul odor, suddenly appeared.

And it, had no idea how the other party had appeared.

At this moment.

If you can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author, maybe the title has just been changed!

The man, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Ugh~ Ugh~"

"Little tiger, quickly retreat."

"While I... still don't want to kill you."

Hearing this.

The Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger's pupils trembled; it was the first time it had suffered such humiliation.

But as an Exotic Beast that had awakened intelligence.

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

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

The man did not answer the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger's question.

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

"Little tiger, if you don't leave now, you won't be able to."

Afterward, the man slightly released his aura.

The Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger felt the man's aura and immediately its tiger body trembled.

It then quickly transformed into a ball of black light and fled into the distance at the fastest speed it had ever traveled.

In the blink of an eye, the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger's figure disappeared.

The man looked down at the battered Su Luo and sighed deeply.

"Alas~"

"Although I've saved your life for now, with such severe injuries, you probably won't survive."

"However, it's considered repaying your kindness of a meal by not letting it turn you into a Ghost Companion."

After the man muttered to himself, he turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, a ball of blue flame suddenly erupted from Su Luo's body.

This greatly shocked the man who had just turned to leave.

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

The flames burned on Su Luo's body but did not burn his clothes at all.

The man tentatively reached out his hand.

Upon touching the ball of flames, the powerful energy contained within it shocked the man once again.

With just a slight touch, he felt his own injuries recover significantly.

"Such powerful healing power! Infinitely close to regeneration!"

"Even Shirozou's healing ability isn't this terrifying."

After a brief moment of thought.

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

He placed his hands above Su Luo's body and began to warm himself by the fire.

A free recovery opportunity, why not use it?

In a short while, Su Luo's body quickly returned to its original state under the healing of the blue flames.

His eyelids and fingers twitched slightly.

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

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

Su Luo slightly opened his eyes and looked at the sky, which was gradually darkening.

He suddenly snapped back to reality, sitting up with a powerful lunge.

He looked around; the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger was nowhere to be seen.

Standing up, he patted himself down from head to toe. He wasn't a ghost, still solid.

What was going on?

Where did the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger go?

How come he wasn't torn to shreds and turned into a Ghost Companion by it?

His body had recovered completely, which didn't surprise him.

After all, with the Phoenix Body, dying wasn't that easy.

But why the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger hadn't delivered a killing blow and turned him into a Ghost Companion, he truly couldn't understand.

Could it be that a passing expert saved me?

He looked around, but there were no signs of any experts fighting the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger.

In the end, he decided not to dwell on it if he couldn't figure it out.

The sky was getting dark, and this place wasn't suitable for lingering.

It would be bad if the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger decided to make a surprise return.

He flew into the sky, continuing to speed towards Tianshui City.

Meanwhile, from behind a large tree somewhere, a man was intently staring at Su Luo's receding figure.

"Kid, we'll meet again someday."

"Who knows, maybe we'll become colleagues."

After flying rapidly for half an hour.

The sky had completely darkened by this time.

Su Luo saw the brightly lit Tianshui City in the distance.
