The backlash had ravaged Bai Ruoxue's entire body, leaving her too weak to speak.
But her senses had not shut down.
On the contrary, unable to move, she found her senses unusually active!
She could clearly sense everything happening around her.
Crunch!
Crunch!
The first thing Bai Ruoxue heard was the sound of teeth gnawing on steel!
It was painfully grating.
Though Bai Ruoxue could not see clearly, she could imagine hordes of zombies sprawled over Lin Dong, gnawing at him like mad!
The thought of countless zombies baring their fangs, clawing at Lin Dong with fingers covered in blood and filth, tearing and biting him, filled Bai Ruoxue with shame.
The biting and gnawing continued!
One bite after another!
Every time that teeth-grating sound rang out, Bai Ruoxue's heart clenched!
As she watched Lin Dong endure the horde's bites rather than leave her, a faint mist gathered in her cool eyes.
Looking at the back before her, steadfast as a mountain, Bai Ruoxue felt a tumult of emotions.
About a minute later, Bai Ruoxue wondered whether she was imagining things. Why did Lin Dong's muscles seem to be twitching and growing?
"Huh?!"
Another thirty seconds passed, and Bai Ruoxue finally confirmed that she was not imagining it!
Lin Dong's muscles really were growing!
She could clearly see what looked like wisps of blood energy rising from the floor and merging into Lin Dong's body, one after another!
Dense baleful energy was gathering as well!
It was so intense that Bai Ruoxue shivered involuntarily!
He's absorbing blood energy and baleful energy?!
Shock surged through Bai Ruoxue. This was the first time she had ever seen anyone refine baleful energy into their body!
Roar!
Bai Ruoxue heard it clearly: Lin Dong, who stood between her and danger, suddenly let out a low, beastlike growl!
Her pretty face instantly turned deathly pale. She thought Lin Dong had been infected and was mutating.
Only when she saw him still drawing in blood energy did she begin to calm down.
Though she did not know what was happening to Lin Dong, his ability to absorb blood energy was enough to prove that he was still lucid.
Roar!
A minute later, Lin Dong growled again, but this time the sound was restless, angry, and dissatisfied!
Hearing him, Bai Ruoxue quickly checked and discovered that the blood energy on the floor had vanished completely.
She immediately understood. Lin Dong had not had his fill?!
He needed more blood energy!
At that thought, hesitation crossed Bai Ruoxue's pretty face. Forcing herself to use Curse Words twice in succession had already pushed her body beyond its limits!
If she did it again, she did not know whether she would die, but she would certainly lose her voice forever!
The backlash from Curse Words was far beyond what a novice who had not even reached level five could endure!
But...
Bai Ruoxue looked at Lin Dong as he kept roaring and listened to the zombies gnawing at him. A flicker of resolve flashed through her cool eyes!
The next instant!
Bai Ruoxue bit through the skin of her finger and sucked hard, using her blood to moisten her burning throat.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Once Bai Ruoxue confirmed that she could make a sound, she did not even stop to wipe the blood from her lips. Parting her red lips to reveal the fang symbol on her tongue, she took a deep breath and shouted with all her strength:
"Go! And! Die!"
Her cool, resolute, mesmerizing command thundered like a bolt from the heavens!
It rang through the entire carriage!
The next instant!
The explosions began!
The zombies surrounding Lin Dong burst like firecrackers, crackling without end!
Black blood poured down like a torrential rain!
It stained the entire carriage red!
Splurt!
Unable to withstand the backlash, Bai Ruoxue spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of her internal organs!
Her slender body collapsed to the floor, trembling uncontrollably!
The color visibly drained from her face as she vomited blood again and again!
The backlash from forcing herself to use Curse Words was even more terrifying than she had imagined!
Now it was no longer a question of losing her voice, but whether she would survive!
Fortunately, before Bai Ruoxue closed her eyes, she thought she vaguely saw Lin Dong rise to his feet.
The instant Lin Dong swallowed the Tiger Demon Strength Pill, he received a system notification.
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully using the Tiger Demon Strength Pill. Strength +30!]
One pill had increased his strength by thirty points!
That far exceeded Lin Dong's expectations!
It was even more than his most optimistic estimate.
After his strength increased, Lin Dong felt that the mound of zombies pressing down on him was no longer quite so crushing. At the very least, he could begin to move.
Before that, he had been pinned down, unable to move at all.
Then, just as Lin Dong prepared to fight back, a sudden suction arose within his body.
His body seemed to be craving blood!
Blood energy and baleful energy from the dead zombies began flowing toward Lin Dong.
Every wisp of blood energy that entered Lin Dong's body merged smoothly into his bloodline, as though stimulating something to awaken.
As time passed, that sensation grew increasingly intense!
But just as he felt something about to burst out of his bloodline and through his body, the blood energy ran dry!
Lin Dong immediately grew agitated and let out a dissatisfied growl.
The next instant!
He heard a cool, resolute command, laden with authority: "Go! And! Die!"
In a flash!
The zombies piled on top of him began bursting like firecrackers!
Thick, black blood instantly filled the carriage!
Seizing the opportunity, Lin Dong frantically absorbed the blood energy. The force that had been stirring inside him finally burst out through his body, manifesting in midair!
Roar!
A roar many times more savage than before erupted from Lin Dong's chest, resonating with the phantom in the air. The carriage's alloy walls vibrated with a humming tremor, and the windows instantly shattered into a shower of fragments.
Amid the churning blood mist, the remnant soul of a Bloodland Red-Strength Tiger, over ten feet tall, fully took shape.
Its fur was crimson as molten lava, every bristling strand of its mane like a leaping blood-red flame. Its powerful limbs trod on empty air, every muscle bulging fiercely with explosive power capable of destroying heaven and earth!
This was no empty illusion, but the remnant soul of the Bloodland Red-Strength Tiger sealed within the Tiger Demon Strength Pill!
With blood energy filling the carriage, Lin Dong had finally awakened it completely!
[Ding! Congratulations on activating the full power of the Tiger Demon Strength Pill. Strength +40!]
The black rain of blood splashing through the air seemed caught in an invisible vortex, surging wildly toward Lin Dong!
Wisps of blood energy and baleful energy burrowed frantically into his body through his pores!
His muscles, already bulging from the pill's enhancement, swelled again at a visibly frenzied pace. His bones and sinews crackled in rapid succession like firecrackers!
The remnant soul drove the initial thirty-point strength boost to its absolute limit, sending his strength soaring!
What surged through the channels throughout his body was no longer ordinary vital energy, but demonic power imbued with the tiger's savage will.
One pill had increased his attack power by seventy points!
It was simply staggering!
Lin Dong slowly straightened, his back as upright as a blood-tempered spear. Visible waves of blood-red energy coiled around him, resonating with the Red-Strength Tiger's phantom in the air!
He looked like a savage tiger from primordial times, emerging from mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
Now, it was time for hunter and prey to switch places!
