Leopard Woman

"I'm telling the truth, I really need this Lightning-Avoiding Fruit right now," Xiao Fan quickly explained, his tone full of sincerity.

But his explanation only enraged the Leopard Woman further.

The Leopard Woman let out a muffled snort, her emerald pupils suddenly contracted, and her wild, ferocious aura was fully released.

"I only allowed you to make a request because I thought you were an honest person. I never expected you to be so ungrateful and deliberately toy with me! Since that's the case, don't blame me for no longer abiding by the Monster Treaty!"

Before she finished speaking, a powerful and violent pressure surged around her. The terrifying aura of a level 300 high-level Magic Beast swept over her like a tidal wave, completely enveloping Xiao Fan.

"Look at you, you're the one who made me make a request, and then you get angry when I actually did. Can't you handle this?"

Xiao Fan shrugged, saying helplessly.

"How so?"

Seeing that Xiao Fan showed no reaction to her oppressive aura, the Leopard Woman's pupils constricted sharply.

It's important to know that intimidation attacks are also one of the attack methods used by Magic Beast.

Low-level Magic Beast are powerless to resist the pressure of high-level Magic Beast, let alone a mere human.

It's a miracle he wasn't scared to the point of crawling on the ground begging for mercy.

How could the humans in front of me seem completely oblivious?

This is not normal! This is absolutely not normal!

The Leopard Woman stared intently at Xiao Fan, her voice hoarse.

"Why are you alright?"

Xiao Fan curled his lips. After the Zijin was upgraded, as long as it wasn't Magic Beast of a higher level than Zijin in front of him, the Magic Beast's pressure would have no effect on him.

"Because I have a contracted Magic Beast of the same level as you, your intimidation has no effect on me."

Xiao Fan spoke the truth.

However, when these words were spoken to the Leopard Woman, she felt as if she had heard a huge joke.

It's not that Magic Beast is incapable of making contracts with humans.

However, they only form contracts with powerful Human Race.

The human in front of her clearly had no strength, yet she dared to claim that she had signed a contract with a Magic Beast of similar level to herself.

That's absolutely ridiculous!

"Nonsense! You human brat, I advise you to speak properly, or don't blame me for eating you!"

Xiao Fan:...

These days, nobody believes the truth!

No way! Even Magic Beast doesn't believe that.

Helpless, Xiao Fan said bitterly to Zijin in the Contract Space, "Zijin, you've seen it too. It's not that I'm unwilling to help you get the Lightning-Avoiding Fruit, it's just that the other party won't give it to me. This is a level 300 Magic Beast, there's nothing I can do."

"Who?!"

These abrupt words made the Leopard Woman freeze, instantly putting her on high alert.

Her ears twitched slightly, and her sharp gaze quickly swept across her surroundings, filled with doubt. Who was this human speaking to?

She activated her keen senses and sense of smell to carefully investigate the surrounding movements, but within a radius of several feet, apart from the scent of the human in front of her, she could not detect the scent of any other Magic Beast.

Their race is born with a sense of smell and perception far superior to other Magic Beast. If there are other Magic Beast lurking nearby, there is no way she would not notice them.

Only those powerful Magic Beast that have reached the top level and can completely Stealth their aura can evade detection.

However, beings of that caliber all reside in the central area of this region and would never appear in these peripheral areas.

Having figured out the crux of the matter, the Leopard Woman's last trace of doubt vanished, and she became convinced that Xiao Fan had been toying with her from beginning to end. Instantly, the fierce light in her eyes intensified, and the oppressive aura around her increased even further, her gaze towards Xiao Fan becoming icy and sharp.

A tiny human being repeatedly tricked by her!

It's like the old leopard isn't showing its power; people think she's a sick cat.

"Human brat, I previously upheld the Magic Beast contract, deliberately holding back and not wanting to make things difficult for you. But you've been ungrateful, repeatedly provoking and teasing me! If I spare you today, all the Magic Beast in this region will laugh at me for being weak and easily bullied!"

A terrifying killing intent surged forth from the Leopard Woman's body, almost solidifying into a tangible form.

Roar~

With a low roar, her body began to rapidly mutate. Fine animal fur grew and spread rapidly from her body, the outlines of her arms and legs twisted and deformed, and her human characteristics quickly disappeared.

In just a few breaths, a wild woman transformed into a gigantic creature.

The Giant Leopard was enormous, with taut, bulging muscles all over its body, every inch of which exuded formidable power.

Its bright fur has distinct layers, revealing its fierce nature.

Its four hooves were surrounded by a light yet sharp aura of wind, with strong winds swirling around it and howling incessantly. Standing still, it exuded an aura of dominance and was extremely powerful.

Holy crap! That's so damn cool!

Xiao Fan's eyes lit up.

The Leopard Woman's true form did indeed look imposing, far more powerful than the other ferocious forces he had previously encountered.

"I wish I could ride on it."

Xiao Fan was dreaming.

He couldn't even imagine how happy he would be if he had such a mount.

Moreover, once he enters the Monster Region, his Red Hare Steed will have to retire.

If you're riding Leopard Woman, you shouldn't be scared by other Magic Beast, right?

The more Xiao Fan thought about it, the more excited he became, and his gaze towards the Leopard Woman became even more fiery.

The Leopard Woman was unaware that Xiao Fan was already planning to use her as a mount.

She noticed that even after she revealed her true form, the other person still had a silly grin on their face, which made her a little confused.

"Could it be that this human kid isn't toying with me, but rather because he's an idiot?"

"Forget it! Whether he's stupid or not, she dared to talk to me like that, she has to die today!"

With this thought in mind, the Leopard Woman exerted force with all four limbs, her massive body carrying a sharp gust of wind, and leaped forward like a golden lightning bolt, heading straight for Xiao Fan, her sharp claws aimed directly at her opponent's vitals.

Xiao Fan's expression hardened, and he quickly retreated several feet.

In an instant, a pair of golden wings unfurled behind him, gently fluttering and lifting him into the air, where he hovered, narrowly avoiding the fatal pounce.

"How can this person have wings!"

The Leopard Woman landed in mid-air, her emerald eyes narrowing sharply as she stared blankly at the pair of magnificent golden wings.

She suddenly realized that the humans in front of her were not as simple as they seemed!

But so what!

I'm still going to die!

The Leopard Woman lowered her forelegs, arched her back deeply, gathered all her strength into her body, and her eyes blazed with ferocity.

"Zijin! If you don't come out now, your master will be eaten!"

The aura of the level 300 Magic Beast still startled Xiao Fan, and he quickly shouted to the Zijin in the Contract Space.

"Okay, okay, I'm coming right now."

"Hmph! A mere leopard dares to steal my Lightning-Avoiding Fruit! Today I'll teach her a lesson about why flowers are so red!"
