Threats and Temptations! Do You Want to Live or Die?

Dazhuang, the Iron-Eating Beast, was unusually excited.

In his miniature panda form, he jumped from Dugu Yan's arms and trotted about on his short legs, sniffing here and there. At last, he stopped beneath a Ten-Thousand-Year Purple Bamboo that stood dozens of meters tall, glowed violet from root to tip, and radiated dense spiritual energy. He reached out with his little claws and began digging.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Purple Bamboo seemed to sense something. Its branches rustled without a breeze, and faint violet lightning flickered among its leaves. It was clearly issuing a warning.

Dazhuang paid no attention. He kept digging happily and soon unearthed several Purple-Gold Jade Shoots as thick as a baby's arm. They gleamed purple and gold, giving off an enticing fragrance and surging spiritual energy!

They held the concentrated essence of the Ten-Thousand-Year Purple Bamboo. They were immensely nourishing to Soul Beasts and rare materials for tempering a Soul Master's body!

The Ten-Thousand-Year Purple Bamboo seemed to grow angry. Its stalk trembled, and several leaves turned into sharp violet blades that shot toward Dazhuang!

Dazhuang did not even look up. He merely raised a forepaw and swiped.

A dark-gold claw flash tore the Bamboo Blades apart like scraps of paper.

He picked up the plumpest, tenderest Purple-Gold Jade Shoot and crunched away with obvious relish. Meanwhile, he dragged the other shoots he had dug up close to himself, guarding them as if to say, These are all mine.

At the sight, the Ten-Thousand-Year Purple Bamboo wilted. Its leaves drooped, and it dared not move again. It could clearly sense the terrifying destructive power within that adorable black-and-white ball of fluff!

It was the aura of an apex predator that could uproot it, chew it to pieces, and swallow it whole!

Dazhuang finished one shoot but wanted more.
