The only Fierce Tiger left had an incomparably ferocious face, its crimson tiger eyes Filled With towering fury. Its body shot forward in a burst, and the violent friction between its skin and the air actually produced Traces of shrill whistling!

It was just one step away from breaking the sound barrier!

"Roar!"

After recklessly exerting itself once more, the Brown Bear clutched its stomach again. It anxiously roared at Xu Yang, telling him to get out of the way.

Bang!

But with only a hundred meters between them, how could he dodge? Besides, Xu Yang did not want to dodge!

A dull sound spread out, and the Fierce Tiger immediately let out a miserable scream. Its enormous body, nearly four meters long, was sent flying and was only stopped when it crashed into a tree.

On the grass, Xu Yang took several steps back to dissipate the impact.

There were differences even between Sixth Orders. The Fierce Tiger had only just entered the Sixth Order, while every time the system improved Xu Yang, it directly raised him to the peak of that order. One had barely crossed the threshold of the Sixth Order, while the other had already touched the edge of the Seventh Order. Such a vast gap was hardly surprising.

Taking advantage of its weakness to kill it, Xu Yang appeared In Front of the Fierce Tiger like a ghost. His claws flexed, turning into a flash of Cold Light as they lashed out fiercely!

Sshk!

The Fierce Tiger was wounded again. A bone-deep gash Stretches across its face, and scalding blood poured down like a rain of blood.

"Roar—"

The Fierce Tiger screamed miserably, but the Brown Bear clapped happily. Seeing its enemy suffer with its own Eyes made the fat on its face tremble as it grinned.

Like a ball being slapped around, the Fierce Tiger was toyed with by Xu Yang. Bathed in the blood spraying from the Fierce Tiger's wounds, Xu Yang grinned. Yet his gleaming white teeth sent chills through both the Fierce Tiger and the Brown Bear. As the tiger involved, the Fierce Tiger felt it even more deeply than the Brown Bear!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dull impacts rang out. The Fierce Tiger's cries grew weaker and weaker, and its struggles became smaller and smaller. As the Brown Bear watched Xu Yang continuously beat the Fierce Tiger to death, its expression... gradually turned blank.

Too brutal!

Too satisfying!

Although it possessed intelligence no less than that of an ordinary human, no matter how hard it racked its brains, it could not understand why Xu Yang, this wild wolf whose aura had clearly been about the same as its own during the day, had suddenly become so terrifying at night...

Swoosh!

Half a foot-long claws, like four razor-sharp daggers, stabbed into the Fierce Tiger's soft chest with an almost beautiful precision. Its miserable tiger roar echoed through the forest one final time.

Resources +1

"Awooo—"

Xu Yang let out a delighted howl. The frustration of being repeatedly dismembered in the Training Room was finally swept away in this battle of violently beating the Fierce Tiger. Now, he could be called Refreshed.

After Xu Yang calmed himself, he turned and discovered that the Brown Bear was half-crouched in its Original Spot. Its massive head was slightly raised, and its eyes carried Traces of ingratiating affection.

Quite smart.

With a Light laugh in his heart, Xu Yang tilted his head at the Brown Bear, signaling for it to get up.

The Brown Bear understood Xu Yang's intentions. It struggled to stand, its injured massive body appearing somewhat clumsy, yet a lively gleam flickered in its eyes. It cautiously approached Xu Yang, continuously letting out roars with a peculiar rhythm. They seemed joyful, uneasy, as though it wanted to express some kind of gratitude or closeness.

In the world of demons, it was only natural for the strong to subdue the weak, and for the weak to rely on the strong.

However, Xu Yang had no intention of taking this Brown Bear as a subordinate. First, its loyalty could not be guaranteed, and the system panel did not display loyalty either. Although Xu Yang had adapted to the laws of the wilderness, he still had doubts about a demon's loyalty. Second, Xu Yang had a system panel, and his strength improved rapidly. The Brown Bear's strength simply could not keep up with his.

Find myself a burden? Forget it...

Thus, Xu Yang merely nodded at the Brown Bear, indicating that it could take the larger tiger corpse to enjoy. Then, he picked up the Sixth Order Fierce Tiger's corpse himself and vanished from the Brown Bear's sight after just a few leaps.

As it watched Xu Yang's back disappear into the forest, disappointment appeared in the Brown Bear's eyes. If it could follow Xu Yang, its life would undoubtedly become much easier.

But unfortunately, Xu Yang did not want it.

After feeling disappointed for a short while, the naturally optimistic Brown Bear became delighted at getting a demon beast corpse for free. So, it covered its stomach with one bear paw, clamped the Fierce Tiger's corpse with the other, and headed toward its lair.

Xu Yang leaped through the mountains and forest, carrying a Fierce Tiger corpse nearly as large as himself in his mouth.

I got 1 resource for killing an Apprentice Sixth Order tiger, and 1 resource for killing an ordinary python. Just how do you calculate this, System?

Xu Yang began talking to himself again.

According To his experience of reading so many novels in his previous life, shouldn't a Golden Finger that collected resources grant more resources for higher-level prey? An Apprentice Sixth Order tiger could kill tens of thousands of ordinary pythons, yet according to the system's judgment, the resources they were worth were actually about the same?!

*Damn it, this mute system won't tell me anything. I have to figure everything out myself. All riddlers deserve to be ***

Soon, Xu Yang arrived at his temporary home amid his complaints.

Fuck, the cave entrance is a little too small. I can't get in while carrying this.

Xu Yang had entered half-crouched before. Now that he had a tiger in his mouth, he naturally could not fit through.

Unwilling to give up, he stepped forward and tried moving the collapsed rocks, only to discover that the rocks were far larger than what was exposed. At least half of them were still buried in the soil.

Helpless, Xu Yang could only carry the tiger to an open patch of grass downwind from the cave, preparing to enjoy his dinner there. He set the tiger down and easily sliced open its abdomen with his sharp claws. A rich scent of blood instantly spread through the air.

Unlike the Flesh and blood of ordinary beasts, the Flesh and blood of an Apprentice Sixth Order demon beast carried a faintly fishy fragrance.

His gleaming claws were like the sharpest dining knives. He skillfully removed the organs, skinned it, deboned it... Soon, chunks of neatly cut Flesh and blood were arranged properly before him.

Too bad there's no wine.

Such fine food without wine made Xu Yang feel somewhat regretful.

The faint fishy fragrance lingered beneath Xu Yang's nose, stirring the hunger in his belly. The salivary glands beneath his tongue kept secreting saliva, as though urging him to hurry up and eat.

He elegantly extended his right claw, speared a portioned piece of meat with its blade-like tip, and placed it in his mouth.

Delicious!

Absolutely delicious!

The meat was dense yet springy, as though every strand contained endless power. When he took his first bite, the tiger meat's savory flavor instantly filled his entire mouth. It was a rich, deep taste, carrying a hint of wildness and untamed savagery.

Xu Yang's tongue could feel the abundant fibers in the tiger meat, Intertwined together to form a unique texture. The meat was neither as tender and smooth as common prey nor as rough as certain beasts. Instead, it possessed just the right amount of resilience and chewiness. With every chew, he could feel the meat's delicate texture and distinct layers.

It's fucking delicious!!

Xu Yang nearly swallowed his own tongue. He quickly speared another piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
