"Huh? Why isn't there any Silent White Fog up ahead?"
Tang Zhixue was clearing the white fog in the woods when he suddenly noticed that the woods a short distance ahead weren't shrouded in Silent White Fog.
"Roar!"
A strange beast resembling a tiger, with two pointed horns on its head, roared at a wild boar covered in mud.
"Oink, oink..."
The boar stared at the horned tiger with bloodshot eyes, constantly pawing the ground with its front legs.
Heh, I didn't expect to stumble onto a show like this.
In the dense woods nearby, Tang Zhixue, who had just arrived, quietly hid and watched the two beasts face off ahead.
Not far from the two beasts stood a pale blue plant bearing Orange-Yellow Fruit.
"What's that?"
Tang Zhixue looked curiously at the plant. "Is that plant clearing away the white fog around here?"
An hour had passed since he had shot the family of five Rotting Living Corpses. Besides those two Supply Cards, his Back Basket now held five more white cards and some plants.
[Item: Supply Card] [Grade: First Tier] [Description: Tear open the card to obtain a bag containing ten jin of edible salt] ... [Item: Supply Card] [Grade: First Tier] [Description: Tear open the card to obtain a bag containing ten jin of edible white sugar] ... [Item: Supply Card] [Grade: First Tier] [Description: Tear open the card to obtain a set of forging equipment] ... [Item: Supply Card] [Grade: First Tier] [Description: Tear open the card to obtain a bag containing fifty jin of ordinary cloudfire stone] ... [Item: Supply Card] [Grade: First Tier] [Description: Tear open the card to obtain a bag containing one hundred jin of premium charcoal]
Perhaps because a sect skilled in forging was located nearby, the Rotting Living Corpses Tang Zhixue had hunted had actually dropped a Supply Card containing forging equipment.
"Roar!"
The Sharp-Horned Tiger's low growl pulled Tang Zhixue from his thoughts.
"Oink, oink..."
Facing the beast before it, its entire body taut and radiating an astonishing presence, the boar refused to back down. It even seemed somewhat eager to have a go.
"Oink!"
Before the Sharp-Horned Tiger could attack, the boar abruptly lowered its head and charged straight at him, its slightly yellowed, sharp tusks aimed squarely at him.
"Roar!"
The Sharp-Horned Tiger reacted quickly. The instant the boar charged, he leaped up and climbed a nearby tree.
Whoa, this tiger can climb trees?
Watching from nearby, Tang Zhixue couldn't help widening his eyes. This was his first time seeing a tiger climb a tree.
Thud!
They were in the woods, surrounded by trees, so after the Sharp-Horned Tiger dodged, the boar crashed straight into a large tree.
"Roar!"
As the saying went, strike while your enemy was down!
The Sharp-Horned Tiger seized the opportunity, pouncing down the instant the boar hit the tree.
Rip!
Sharp claws tore through the mud and flesh on the boar's back, but because of that thick layer of mud, the wounds weren't very deep.
What a shame.
Tang Zhixue saw it clearly. The boar was enormous, and the tiger had pounced from above, making it difficult to bite its vulnerable neck. He could only attack its back.
Besides, had the mud on the boar not been so thick, that strike from the horned tiger might have seriously injured it and driven it into a frenzy.
"Oink!"
The boar abruptly turned and charged at the Sharp-Horned Tiger again.
Whoosh!
This time, the Sharp-Horned Tiger didn't climb a tree. His objective was clear: he bit straight at the boar's short, thick neck.
The boar reacted swiftly, abruptly turning sideways to meet him with its shoulder and tusks.
Rip!
The tiger's forepaws were already on the boar's back. His canine teeth sank in hard, and hot blood immediately gushed out.
Compared with his claws, the fangs in the Sharp-Horned Tiger's mouth were clearly much sharper and longer.
"Oink!"
The boar let out a short, furious squeal and thrashed its neck wildly.
But the Sharp-Horned Tiger clung tightly to it. His body was violently tossed from side to side, but he simply wouldn't come off or release his bite.
Crimson blood streamed down the boar's neck.
"Oink!"
The boar suddenly whipped its head to the side.
Thud!
The Sharp-Horned Tiger's body slammed hard into a large tree.
"Roar!"
A low growl filled with pain escaped the Sharp-Horned Tiger's throat, and traces of blood seeped from his eyes.
Perhaps sensing that its method was working, the boar violently whipped its head again.
Thud!
Another impact.
But the Sharp-Horned Tiger still refused to let go.
Watching from nearby, Tang Zhixue was filled with excitement.
When the snipe and clam fought, the fisherman reaped the rewards!
Now, he was going to be that fisherman!
He carefully set his axe aside, took out an arrow, and nocked it to his Wooden Bow, ready to shoot at any moment.
It should be almost time.
He had watched related videos before. With its windpipe completely compressed, a large wild boar would lose consciousness from a lack of oxygen to the brain within thirty seconds and die within two to three minutes.
If the tiger loosened its bite after thirty seconds, even just a little, its prey could draw a breath and regain the strength to struggle, or even use its last strength to counterattack.
Although those figures were for ordinary beasts, the same should apply to these fierce tigers. At most, the timing would differ.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Every time the boar whipped its head, the horned tiger had another close encounter with the tree, and his pained roars grew fainter and fainter.
But the boar wasn't faring well either. Its head tosses were growing weaker, which was clear from the sound of the Sharp-Horned Tiger striking the tree.
In that case...
Tang Zhixue drew his bowstring and aimed ahead.
Waiting for the two fierce tigers to die was actually the safest approach, but he was a little greedy.
Whoosh!
An arrow shot out of the dense woods and struck one of the Sharp-Horned Tiger's eyes.
"Roar!"
Whoosh!
Another arrow aimed at his eye greeted the Sharp-Horned Tiger's pained roar.
"Oink!"
Naturally, the boar in his jaws was no exception. Two arrows followed close behind.
Still not dead?
Watching the two blinded beasts frantically attack everything around them where they stood a short distance away, Tang Zhixue drew his bowstring again.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two arrows shot out in succession. This time, his targets weren't their eyes.
Squ elch!
The two arrows plunged straight into the beasts' wide-open, roaring mouths, piercing the flesh inside.
"Roar!"
"Oink!"
Tang Zhixue's shots quickly took effect. Before long, the Sharp-Horned Tiger and the boar showed no signs of life at all.
"Huh?"
Still waiting where he was for both of them to die completely, Tang Zhixue suddenly noticed a card floating above each of them.
"They're dead?"
