136: Chapter 136: Third Grade Demon Beast, Horned Tiger 136: Chapter 136: Third Grade Demon Beast, Horned Tiger “Love at first sight?”
Liu Xin expressed skepticism; in this world dominated by contracts, almost everyone was driven by their own interests.
It was rare to see individuals co together due to love at first sight.
“So how did you et?”
“We t with our eyes.”
Xiao Zhan’s words were not particularly polite now.
His wife showing hostility ant she felt insecure, the reaction triggered in his wife was not her fault, it was his own.
It was his actions that made his wife feel insecure.
So now, Xiao Zhan didn’t want to talk much with this woman.
He needed to provide Ye Youlong enough security.
Liu Xin was a clever woman; she naturally sensed the coldness in Xiao Zhan’s tone.
Yet her curiosity about Xiao Zhan was strong, so she didn’t care about his attitude and continued to strike up a conversation with him.
But just then, the chubby Liu Yuan next to them exclaid in a low voice.
“Bro Xiao, what’s that?
Use your perception to scan that, is that a Spirit Fruit?”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan imdiately looked in the direction Liu Yuan pointed, and at a distance of nearly two hundred ters, there indeed was a greasy yellow Spirit Fruit.
Emitting a faint halo.
“This is a Yellow Fury Fruit, a one-ti fruit that allows one to enter a brief state of frenzied blood upon consumption, enhancing the combat strength, a low-grade First Grade fruit.”
“It’s not very useful; if it were a Second Grade Red Fury Fruit, it might be handy.”
Liu Xin glanced at it and imdiately described the characteristics of the fruit.
Without the slightest hesitation or error.
Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but feel surprised.
From this distance of two hundred ters, how could she see it so clearly, recognizing it instantly?
Liu Yuan couldn’t make it out; he just spotted sothing resembling it from afar.
Xiao Zhan, too, was able to recognize it at first glance because his eyesight was enhanced and with the aid of perception.
What level of strength did this Liu Xin have to be able to do this?
“Why are you looking at ?
Do I have words on my face?”
The brief mont of distraction was caught by Liu Xin, who imdiately teased Xiao Zhan.
“Who’s looking at you?
Don’t be so narcissistic, okay?
My eyes only have room for my wife and the sleep in my eyes,” Xiao Zhan snorted coldly.
Liu Xin didn’t mind and suddenly, with intrigued eyebrows, asked, “You say my eyes are so good, when will I et soone who falls for at first sight?”
“That’s none of my business.”
Xiao Zhan looked indifferent.
“None of your business?
What does that an?”
“If you don’t get it, leave it, we have a generation gap between us, stop talking, let’s hurry up.”
After speaking, Xiao Zhan quickened his pace and put so distance between himself and Liu Xin.
This woman, Xiao Zhan always felt she was a bit odd.
Her gaze towards him was strange, as if she could see right through him.
Xiao Zhan hated the feeling of being looked at as if he was unclothed, so he stayed far from her.
Liu Xin watched him maintain the distance, wisely choosing not to continue the conversation, but her eyes stayed on Xiao Zhan, the interest in them growing even stronger.
Yet, she never once glanced at Ye Youlong.
Who knew what she was really thinking.
The team kept advancing, and after about an hour, the pace gradually slowed down.
They had entered the inner parts of Tianya Island, where the verdant vegetation towered into the sky, with only slivers of light piercing through the gaps in the leaves, hitting the ground.
The thick carpet of dead branches and decaying leaves made each step one that had to be taken with extre caution.
A single misstep could an falling into emptiness.
Although there were no traps, there were always so “darling” little things in there, adorable to death—the kind that could actually kill you.
The atmosphere within the group grew oppressive.
Just then, within Xiao Zhan’s perception range, he suddenly felt an energy fluctuation.
His Perception swept over it.
Sowhat surprised, he thought, “Another Spirit Fruit?”
There seed to be quite a few Spirit Fruits on this island.
They hadn’t been actively searching, yet they had already found two Spirit Fruits.
Though not of a high grade, they were still Spirit Fruits after all.
Anyone who encountered them would vie for possession.
Stumbling upon two Spirit Fruits so easily made Tianya Island seem like a paradise on earth.
No wonder the native inhabitants were all powerful Spirit Masters.
“Indeed, the abundance of Spirit Fruits is not a good sign.
The more there are, the more Demon Beasts there will be.”
“If we continue advancing at this rate, by the ti we reach the core of Tianya Island, it’s likely we’ll encounter Demon Beasts we can’t handle.”
Liu Xin expressed her concerns with furrowed brows.
The higher the grade of the Spirit Fruits, the stronger the Demon Beasts guarding them.
So far, they had encountered only low-grade Spirit Fruits, and their guarding beasts weren’t too frightening.
But if the island truly abounded with Spirit Fruits, their expedition might indeed face severe challenges.
Wu Ya, walking at the front of the group and serving as the mission’s Commander, had also understood the problem at hand.
However, this issue was already accounted for in the risk assessnt of the Special Service Bureau.
They had brought so many people precisely because they had considered all possible risks.
Hence, a grave expression flickered across Wu Ya’s face, but she continued to lead the way forward.
Everyone else followed in silence.
The atmosphere beca even more repressive.
After less than half an hour, Xiao Zhan suddenly stopped and issued a warning.
“A thousand ters to the left ahead, there is a Demon Beast.
Preliminary judgnt, it’s a Third Grade Demon Beast.”
A Third Grade Demon Beast fell within their intended target range for elimination.
Therefore, Wu Ya imdiately issued an order, “Approach stealthily, spread out, and attack in unison!”
“Yes.”
At her command, everyone instantaneously dispersed, approaching the Demon Beast in a semi-enclosure formation.
When they were around five hundred ters from the beast, the Horned Tiger discovered Xiao Zhan and the rest.
The perception of Demon Beasts is extrely sharp; even in stealth, once close enough, they too could sense it.
Therefore.
An angry roar burst forth, warning the group to back off imdiately!
With one glance, Liu Xin saw a beast about ten ters long and three ters tall, its body marbled with black and brown fur, bellowing against the sky.
The body resembled that of a tiger, but it sported two sky-piercing horns on its head and a ridge of spines on its back.
Sparce hair, powerful limbs with claws covered in hard scales.
With its wide-open mouth full of teeth and a pair of bloody red eyes larger than bowls, it emitted a ferocious glow.
“The Horned Tiger, with its formidable size, fierce strength, sharp claws, and extrely violent nature.
It has a strong sense of territory, and any casual strike can cause a lethal injury.”
“As a Third Grade Demon Beast, it can launch spines from its back as a thod of attack, and its horns can condense and shoot out a mass of energy, which is very powerful.”
“Its vulnerable spot is on the softer part of the belly.
Additionally, after it has launched a mass of energy from its horns, the defense around the horns weakens, and at that mont, a lethal blow can be delivered to its horns.”
