Azure Nether Tiger

Hua Qiang had a moment of self-admiration before putting his plan into action.

He slowly searched around the pond, and sure enough, he found a few more.

He found killing these Tier 1 Exotic Beasts very easy, requiring little effort.

After circling the pond once, he had accumulated another 2400 Slaughter Points.

Seeing the 2880 points in the Slaughter column on his Void Panel, Hua Qiang felt an intense heat in his heart.

He was filled with anticipation for the journey ahead.

Although these Exotic Beasts were no match for him now, he remained very cautious, knowing that even small mistakes could lead to disaster.

He didn't want to capsize in a ditch due to a minor error.

Rustle, rustle...

A faint sound came from the grass ahead, indicating an Exotic Beast was crawling within.

As expected, a Green-skinned Forest Python several meters long and as thick as a large bowl appeared in his sight.

This was a peak Tier 1 Exotic Beast.

Hua Qiang activated his skill, Shadow Dodge, instantly appearing beside the python. He swung his great saber, directly decapitating the snake.

[Slaughter Points +960]

To its death, the python never understood how this person suddenly appeared beside it.

It didn't even have time to react before it was killed.

With such strength, appearing in the outer areas of the forest to kill defenseless people—er, beasts—wasn't this just bullying them, the Exotic Beasts?

Hua Qiang was in high spirits as he killed his way along, as his Slaughter Points had now accumulated to 5660.

This was just one hour's harvest. At this rate, after ten hours, wouldn't he be able to get fifty to sixty thousand Slaughter Points?

He had never been so wealthy in his life; he could barely dare to imagine it!

He found a flat patch of ground, set up a simple barbecue grill, took out one of the Red-eyed Steel-toothed Rabbits he had caught earlier, skinned it, removed its innards, and started a fire to roast it.

He was a bit hungry after running and hunting these Exotic Beasts.

He planned to fill his stomach first before continuing his hunt.

Soon, the rabbit was roasted to a golden brown, sizzling and dripping oil. The aroma of the roasted meat wafted through the air, and Hua Qiang couldn't help but swallow.

Feeling the heat was just right, he took out some salt, cumin powder, and other seasonings from his Storage Bag, sprinkled them on the rabbit meat, and brushed it with some spicy sauce.

Instantly, an exquisite fragrance emanated from the rabbit meat, spreading in all directions.

Hua Qiang could no longer resist. He tore off a leg, blew on it a few times, and once it had cooled slightly, he took a bite. It was crispy, tender, and delicious!

The Exotic Beast's body contained spiritual energy, making its meat exceptionally flavorful and very chewy.

He couldn't find ingredients like this back on his former planet, Earth.

Hua Qiang finished one rabbit leg and tore off another. Just as he was about to eat it, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew.

The wind carried a faint, fishy smell.

Was an Exotic Beast approaching?

It was likely attracted by the smell of his roasted meat.

Hua Qiang quickly tore off the other two legs of the rabbit, wrapped them in a leaf, and put them into his Storage Bag.

The remaining carcass was left on the wooden frame.

Since the scent of this thing could attract Exotic Beasts, he might as well play the part of waiting by the stump, or rather, waiting for beasts!

If Exotic Beasts kept coming to him willingly, it would save him the trouble of running around.

This was truly a good idea!

Others fished; he... fished for Exotic Beasts.

ROAR!

A tiger's roar echoed through the mountains and fields, reaching Hua Qiang's ears.

A fierce tiger had arrived!

Following the sound, he saw a patch of low bushes rustling violently. Then, a tiger three to four times larger than a normal tiger appeared in his sight.

The tiger's fur was entirely blue, and a red "King" character on its forehead shone with a bewitching red light.

It seemed to be shrouded in a layer of blood mist.

If you can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author. Maybe the name has changed!

This was a Tier 3 Exotic Beast, an Azure Nether Tiger.

Hua Qiang quickly confirmed the information about the Exotic Beast.

Tier 3 was equivalent to the Grand Martial Master realm in humans.

If he could kill this fierce tiger, wouldn't his Slaughter Points double compared to before?

Hua Qiang's current realm had reached Intermediate Martial Master, and his combat power was at the Grand Martial Master level. He wasn't afraid of Level 3 Exotic Beasts; he could fight them!

If he truly couldn't win, he still had so many Slaughter Points on him. He could add points to his Blood Qi at any time, allowing his realm to improve.

The Azure Nether Tiger's pair of bell-like eyes stared fixedly at the rabbit meat roasting on the wooden rack. Hua Qiang, such a large figure, seemed to be invisible to it.

It was attracted by the aroma!

At this moment, the tiger kept lifting its nose, smelling this irresistible, tempting fragrance.

Hua Qiang's expression was a bit displeased. He was being completely ignored by this tiger.

It only had eyes for the rabbit meat, not for him, a living person.

Blatant disregard!

The Azure Nether Tiger's eyes finally glanced at Hua Qiang beside it. Its attention shifted from the delicious rabbit meat to the human next to it.

"Roar—"

The fierce tiger let out a roar towards the sky, then lunged at Hua Qiang.

It wouldn't let go of this delicious blood food!

Although the rabbit meat was fragrant, it was too little, not enough to even gnaw between its teeth.

This human was barely enough to serve as a snack, to satisfy its hunger.

Hua Qiang's mood finally improved a bit. His value had surpassed that of the rabbit meat.

He gripped his large saber tightly, his eyes fixed on the Azure Nether Tiger's pouncing movement, and activated [Prediction].

Instantly, the tiger's movements slowed down in his eyes.

And in the next moment, the landing spot of the tiger, the state of each part of its body, its movement path, and the damage it would inflict on him—all this information appeared in his mind.

Hua Qiang's lips curled upwards. His body flickered slightly, and he activated [Shadow Dodge].

In an instant, he appeared beside the fierce tiger, and his large saber accurately struck its throat.

Swoosh!

[Killing Strike]

A single blow to the death!

As the tiger was pouncing, it felt its life rapidly draining away, blood gushing out.

When its body hit the ground, it weakly twisted its head, looking at Hua Qiang with disbelief, then collapsed heavily.

It, a powerful Level 3 Exotic Beast, had actually been killed by a human below its realm.

One strike!

Just one strike, how could it believe it?

Wasn't that infuriating?

Were all humans this powerful?

If so, where was the space for them, the Exotic Beasts, to survive?

[Slaughter Points +10000]

"Holy crap!"

Hua Qiang couldn't help but curse. Killing this one tiger yielded 10,000 Slaughter Points!

This was amazing!

He decided he'd kill a few more later, get tens of thousands of points, and then properly improve himself before advancing towards the central region.

He put the tiger's corpse into his Storage Bag, sat down, and took out a rabbit leg to gnaw on again.

He had only eaten one earlier, and his mood had been disturbed by the Azure Nether Tiger before he could finish.

But the Azure Nether Tiger had brought him such a huge surprise.

He decided to wait.

Since this tiger was attracted by the scent, might other Exotic Beasts also come to visit him?

Hua Qiang finished eating all the rabbit legs, and the guests he was waiting for also arriv
