Weaknesses of Feline Animals

Semi-digitization has many benefits, such as allowing him to intuitively understand his own strength.

Thinking about it this way, the method to become stronger is much simpler: just enhance his physical attributes while simultaneously strengthening his practical combat abilities.

No matter how high his attributes are, if he cannot bring them to bear in battle, they are completely meaningless.

Furthermore, Su Xiao guessed that since he could be transported to the One Piece World, he would certainly be transported to other worlds as well, and at that time, there would be plenty of opportunities to become stronger.

His current attributes are: Strength 7, Agility 7, Stamina 5, Intelligence 6, Charisma 3, and as for Luck, a pathetic 1 point.

The Strength and Agility attributes need no explanation; their effects are very intuitive and are closely related to his melee combat ability.

Stamina represents the strength of his vitality and his ability to withstand damage, while Intelligence is for spell-related matters, though its function is currently unclear.

Charisma is even more puzzling; would increasing Charisma make him more handsome?

Su Xiao shook his head; the Charisma attribute should not be like that, it should be for improving social or summoning capabilities.

As for the final Luck attribute, it should be a very important and heaven-defying attribute, but it must be very difficult to improve.

Su Xiao is skilled with a blade, and his future development will likely be related to attributes like Strength and Agility. He hasn't determined his development direction yet, but after all, this is the first derivative world he has experienced, so thinking about such questions is too early.

While Su Xiao was pondering, the sound of branches snapping came from the forest in the distance; a massive beast was approaching.

It's here!

Approaching gradually was the Master of Mt. Colubo, a giant tiger of immense size.

This giant tiger looked similar to an ordinary tiger, but it was massive, over four meters tall and at least seven or eight meters long. It was even larger than an elephant on Earth; this guy was the size of a house.

The giant tiger's deep yellow fur was very textured and shiny, reflecting a faint light under the bright sun.

Su Xiao hid in a large tree, staring fixedly at the giant tiger below, even lowering his breathing.

Against such a fierce beast, even the slightest sound might be detected, so Su Xiao was exceptionally cautious.

After approaching the trap Su Xiao had set, the giant tiger twitched its nose as if it smelled danger, hesitating to approach the trap.

However, the few dried fruits on the trap held a fatal attraction for this giant tiger.

These dried fruits were bought by Su Xiao at a grocery store in the Royal Capital, known as Mutianzhi.

Mutianzhi is a dried fruit unique to the One Piece World. In the real world, there is a plant with similar effects to Mutianzhi, which is catnip.

Although the Master of Mt. Colubo was massive, it could not overcome the instincts of a feline. It had no resistance to Mutianzhi, which was similar to catnip.

One must know that catnip is known as a drug for cats and has a fatal attraction for most felines.

Seeing the giant tiger's salivating gaze, Su Xiao knew his plan was very successful.

The giant tiger paced around the trap, very cautiously. It smelled an unfamiliar scent but did not sense any danger.

Finally, tempted by the Mutianzhi, the giant tiger gradually approached the center of the trap.

The giant tiger first moved forward cautiously for a few steps, then stopped immediately, actually turning its head to scan its surroundings.

The corners of Su Xiao's eyes, hidden in the tree, twitched. He sighed inwardly; the animals in the One Piece World have much higher intelligence than ordinary beasts.

Judging by the giant tiger's performance, it had the intelligence of at least a ten-year-old child, or perhaps even higher.

Time slipped through his fingers, and a long stalemate began; this was a test of patience.

In the end, the Master of Mt. Colubo could not resist the temptation of the Mutianzhi and pounced forward.

"Boom."

Dust rose up, and the Master of Mt. Colubo took all the Mutianzhi on the ground into its mouth and began to chew.

The taste of Mutianzhi was not good; it was not only bitter but also very astringent, yet the Master of Mt. Colubo chewed it with great relish.

After chewing for a while, the Master of Mt. Colubo began to react, changing from its original lying posture to rolling on its back with its four paws in the air, rubbing its back against the grass.

The Master of Mt. Colubo was rolling around.

This is the reaction of a house cat after eating a large amount of catnip: experiencing hallucinations and rolling all over the ground.

Although the Master of Mt. Colubo looked majestic, it could not restrain this instinct. From the drool constantly flowing from its mouth, one could tell it was currently trapped in hallucinations.

The timing was ripe. Su Xiao raised the flintlock pistol in his hand and aimed it at the ground beneath the giant tiger?

That's right, the ground. Even if he fired a shot from this flintlock pistol at the giant tiger's eyeball, it would only injure, not kill, and with his marksmanship, he couldn't guarantee hitting the giant tiger's eyeball.

In the soil beneath the giant tiger, Su Xiao had buried a large amount of explosives. Furthermore, he had made other preparations above the explosives, enough to give this giant tiger a real headache.

He extended his arm and pulled the trigger of the flintlock pistol.

"Bang."

A gunshot rang out in the forest, breaking the silence and startling a large flock of birds.

Heated by the combustion of gunpowder, a scorching bullet flew out of the muzzle, pushing aside waves of air, spinning as it buried itself into the soil. A small green blade of grass was snapped, and shattered leaves splashed up.

The red-hot bullet first pierced the surface soil, then plunged into the gunpowder barrel buried underground. The temperature of several hundred degrees instantly ignited the gunpowder.

The sudden gunshot made the Master of Mt. Colubo, who was rolling on the ground, shudder. It immediately wanted to get up and run, but it was too late.

"Boom."

A loud explosion spread through the forest. Every animal within a one-kilometer radius shuddered and looked toward the source of the sound.

More than a dozen gunpowder barrels buried underground were detonated in succession, creating a chain reaction that merged into a single, deafening roar.

The ground where the Master of Mt. Colubo stood erupted, sending soil spraying outward in a radial pattern. Amidst the flying dirt, one could vaguely see iron nails—these were placed by Su Xiao atop the barrels to increase the lethality of the explosion.

The Master of Mt. Colubo, a behemoth weighing several tons, was launched a full three meters into the air by the force of the blast beneath it, while hundreds of iron nails were driven deep into its body by the explosive impact.

"ROAR~."

A shrill tiger's cry echoed out, but the nightmare had not yet ended.

Flames soared into the sky, swallowing the Master of Mt. Colubo in mid-air, and the pungent stench of burning fur filled the air.

"Thud." The Master of Mt. Colubo hit the ground, and the thick smoke produced by the burning gunpowder engulfed the giant tiger, accompanied by the sizzling sound of flames consuming flesh.

Su Xiao stood on a distant tree, watching everything with cold eyes, though his expression was far from pleasant.

It was not that his sympathy had flared up; he had fed such things to the dogs long ago.

The reason for his grim look was that the giant tiger was not dead, or at least, Reincarnation Paradise had not provided a notification.

The plan had proceeded smoothly, but the sheer resilience of creatures in the One Piece World was chilling.

Leaping down from the tree, the shirtless Su Xiao drew the Dragon Slayer Flash from his waist and walked toward the cloud of smoke, holding the blade in one hand.

Since the explosion couldn't kill it, he would hack it to death; as long as there was a glimmer of hope for victory, he had the courage to fight. He never feared battle.

From a certain perspective, Su Xiao was a man obsessed with combat.

The feeling of being on the razor's edge between life and death during a fight allowed him to forget his hatred and his past misfortunes, immersing him completely in the struggle until his enemy was slain.

Cough, cough, I woke up a bit late. I've been writing like crazy lately, losing track of day and night.
