Though the faint trace of dragon might wasn't as ferocious as the little white tiger's roar just now, it still carried an air of supreme majesty.
"Aw?"
At that moment, the Primordial White Tiger Cub, who had been throwing a tantrum, lit up when she saw the rope.
The towering phantom behind her immediately vanished. Not only that, but her eyes, which had been like two little suns, turned into big, watery pools.
Like an ordinary house cat, she pounced on the rope and frantically pawed at it with both front paws, purring contentedly in her throat.
"This..." Zhu Zhuqing stared, dumbfounded. The sudden change left her nearly unable to react.
She had been filled with bloodlust just a moment ago. How had she suddenly become such an adorable little tiger?
She swallowed, then cautiously pointed at the golden rope and asked, "Wet Nurse, what's this rope made of? Why does it sound like a dragon's roar? Could it be..."
At that, the elderly Wet Nurse continued playing with the little white tiger and answered casually:
"Oh, this?"
"A few days ago, a foolish Primordial Flood Dragon was roaring wildly at the Immortal Court's gates. The guards on duty cut it down."
"Though the beast wasn't of the Pure-Blooded Dragon Clan, it still had some Dragon Clan blood in its veins."
"Here, this is its main dragon tendon. It's very tough, so it's perfect for Little White to grind her teeth on—and, as you can see, to use as a cat teaser."
Seeing the Wet Nurse's utterly matter-of-fact expression, Zhu Zhuqing wasn't the only one left speechless. The entire Douluo Continent, watching from behind the Light Screen, was equally dumbstruck.
A Primordial Flood Dragon?
Its main dragon tendon?
For teething? As a cat teaser?!
They knew every word on its own, so why did the whole sentence sound so strange?
Heaven Dou Empire, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Pfft!"
At that moment, the clan leader, Yu Yuanzhen, who was already kneeling on the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood as soon as he heard those words. His aura weakened, and he looked as though he had aged several years.
"D-dragon tendon?!"
After finally recovering a little, the head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan stared fixedly at the glittering golden Flood Dragon tendon, his face full of shock.
As a Titled Douluo with a top-tier dragon-type Martial Soul, how could he fail to sense the terrifying aura contained in that rope?
What Flood Dragon? With such pure, such terrifying dragon might, it had to be a True Dragon!
And a True Dragon with an unimaginably pure bloodline!
Even the faint aura emanating from that tendon was stronger than his fully unleashed ninth Soul Skill!
How could it possibly be just some mere Flood Dragon?
When Yu Yuanzhen saw that the tendon of such a terrifying dragon creature was being used as a chew toy by a "Spirit Beast" from the Primordial Immortal Court, he completely lost his composure.
"No, impossible."
"Dragons are the lords of all beasts, the faith of our clan. How could this..."
For a moment, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't accept the truth. He pounded his chest and stamped his feet, tears streaming down his deeply lined, wrinkled face.
"Is that world truly so terrifying? They even rip out the tendons of True Dragons!"
"What blasphemy! What cruelty!"
"And that so-called Immortal Lord—what does he think Divine Beasts are?! Are dragons and tigers nothing more than toys to him?!"
Yu Yuanzhen's furious roar shook the heavens. If he could have won, he would have charged straight through the Light Screen to teach that so-called Immortal Lord a lesson.
Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's roar, the elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan all turned ashen.
Their clan was famed as the possessor of the world's foremost Beast Martial Soul, and they called themselves descendants of the Dragon.
Yet the toy that someone else's Spirit Beast played with was a dragon tendon!
What did that make them—less than toys?!
Elsewhere, at Life Lake in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Sky Azure Bull Python, overlord of the region, was no longer merely afraid. He was having a full-blown crisis of bovine identity.
"Er Ming..."
Sky Azure Bull Python Da Ming watched the little white tiger playing happily on the screen, along with the dragon tendon she was batting back and forth. He swallowed nervously and murmured:
"Do you think that if we went to that world, they'd rip out our tendons and peel off our hides too...?"
Er Ming shuddered all over. Terror filled his enormous ape-like face, and he hurriedly covered his backside.
"Big Brother, please stop! That's terrifying!"
"My hide's tough and stringy. I'm not even tasty!"
And so, after realizing just how terrifying that world was, the two overlord-level Ferocious Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest huddled together, trembling.
They swore they'd never go to that so-called Perfect World, even if it killed them.
Too dangerous!
That place was practically hell for beasts!
The live broadcast continued on the Light Screen.
Primordial Immortal Court, Spirit Beast Garden.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the white tiger happily playing before her, then at the priceless dragon-tendon cat teaser. Her thoughts churned like a stormy sea.
"Um, Wet Nurse."
"What does this white tiger usually eat?" Zhu Zhuqing suddenly wondered aloud, curious.
After all, in her view, an incredibly terrifying creature like this surely wouldn't settle for ordinary food, would she?
At that, the Wet Nurse paused her hand, then pulled a piece of meat glowing with five-colored radiance from her storage pouch and casually tossed it to the little white tiger.
"Nothing too special."
"The Immortal Lord said Little White's still growing, so besides nutrition, the most important thing is to keep her diet light."
"This is the wingtip of a Pure-blood Golden-Winged Peng we hunted just yesterday. The meat's the tenderest part, so it's perfect as a snack."
"Oh, and when you feed her, remember to pick out the bones for her. She's changing her teeth lately and can't bite through Divine Bone that's too hard."
Crunch!
The moment the five-colored piece of meat landed, the little white tiger snapped it up in one bite. She dropped the dragon tendon and began eating with relish.
But to Zhu Zhuqing, the sight was horrifying beyond words.
The wingtip of a Pure-blood Golden-Winged Peng?
As a snack?!
"Gulp." Zhu Zhuqing swallowed instinctively, then raised a hand to shield herself from the terrifying blood aura coming off the meat. She backed away several steps, her face stricken with fear.
Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy.
Ma Hongjun, who possessed the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, had been chewing on a chicken leg left over from earlier. Hearing those words from the live broadcast, he couldn't help looking down at the chicken leg in his hand.
Then he looked back at the piece of Great Peng meat on the screen, which made his heart tremble just to behold.
