Devouring the Stars: Reboot, Serpent of Eternity!

Chapter 42 Tiger!
"Improving physical fitness is a good thing. It means that at each level, you can explode with speed and strength that far exceeds the same level... Speaking of speed alone, I am still good at this time faction, and my ability to escape in the future will definitely not be weak."

Jiang Zhe touched the dark purple thunder mark on his chest and was very satisfied. "We have to give it a name. Hmm... why not call it [Thunder Prison Realm]? Anna, what do you think?"

"It's very appropriate. It should be a special ability that has never appeared before. It should be named by you, the master!"

Orianna's judgment is well-founded. The level of this special ability should be benchmarked to the World Lord level, which is similar to the level of the original nucleus. It should not be awakened by planet-level life forms.

"As for thunder-type treasures..." Jiang Zhe turned to look at Orianna, "Are there any thunder-type treasures on Earth?"

Orianna checked online and asked: "The Thunder Dragon Emperor's dragon horns, dragon scales, dragon bones, dragon tendons, dragon heart, and dragon blood?"

"???"

Jiang Zhe's mouth twitched, "Why didn't you tell me to make the Thunder God as a tonic?"

"Is there any good stock in Babata? My teacher's world ring should be on it. I don't believe there are no good things in it."

Orianna shook her head, "What you need are A-level thunder treasures. Is your teacher not so poor that he needs to pick up rags?"

Suddenly thinking of something, Orianna reminded: "Master, what the immortal mechanical race understands is the law of thunder. They like to hoard all kinds of materials. This world bracelet may have something you need."

Jiang Zhe took the bracelet from Orianna, held it in his hand, played with it twice, and asked, "Will using mental power to wash away the life mark inside have any impact on me?"

"No, I tried to wash it away with my original energy before. I won't be counterattacked, but it was very difficult to wash away even a tiny bit."

"Even if the original owner has died, the life mark inside is as fragile as water without a source. But the energy at the immortal level cannot be shaken by our planetary level. The Hanxia idiom 'Foolish Old Man Moves Mountains' is suitable to describe the process of washing away your life mark. .”

"Foolish Old Man moved mountains?" Jiang Zhe raised his eyebrows slightly, "In other words... it can be successful, but it will take a lot of effort?"

Then, he put a purple gold bracelet covered with secret patterns on his wrist to show his attitude.

The World Bracelet must be broken as soon as possible!

Several pots have been heated up, and they are all waiting for the rice to be put into the pot!

After going to the bathroom to rinse off, Jiang Zhe lay on the bed and began to recall the various training points of the "Hidden Dragon Method".

"Sleep with your head in the east, lying on your side, like a dragon's cock, like a dog's curl. One hand bends the shoulder pillow, secretly touching the sea of ​​consciousness; one hand touches the navel directly, connecting to the Dantian; one foot is extended; the other is retracted. Not yet. To sleep with your heart, sleep with your eyes first, to the extreme of emptiness, and keep quiet..."

Assume the correct posture and visualize the sleeping dragon portrait in "The Hidden Dragon Technique", and the mysterious charm of "Zhuang Zhou's Dream of Butterflies" comes as promised.

Jiang Zhe only felt a sense of comfort, as if he was back when he was conceived, and fell asleep with a peaceful smile on his face.

The consciousness in the brain is flying in the dark.

……

This is the season when the sun is scorching, and the cicadas are chirping incessantly in the ancient forest, disturbing the creatures from sleeping peacefully.

In a dark and damp cave.

On the smelly deer skin, a frail "golden gradient" slowly opened its eyes, revealing a unique spirituality, trembling its body and wanting to explore the world.

If the tiger mother noticed something, she turned her head and licked it twice with her tongue full of barbs, the human worry lingering in her eyes.

There were four tiger cubs in this litter, and the youngest was the weakest and the last to open his eyes.

Other tiger brothers can stagger around and explore the cave as early as the third day, open their eyes on the fifth day, and start eating raw meat on the tenth day...

It's day 15 now, and the youngest is still slumped in the animal hide, and can't get much milk... But fortunately, he has opened his eyes and can see the world.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will probably be difficult for it to survive this winter.

After taking the milk, Huyao clicked his lips, fell asleep contentedly, and began to purr.

Gulu--Gulu--

Gradually, the cute and cute purring turned into a dull thunder sound.

The young body, which is as long as an adult's arm, trembles with the thunder, and the violent shaking makes people worry that it may suddenly fall apart in the next moment.

Logically speaking, this is painful, but Huyao's round, furry face is full of enjoyment.

It just follows instinct and does what's best for itself.

The tigress was slightly stunned and watched quietly.

A little tiger cub thought it was too noisy and wanted to push it awake, but was slapped by the mother tiger and made it do some somersaults.

The sound of cicadas mixes with the thunder in the cave, making this summer even more noisy.

The three tiger cubs were spinning around in the cave impatiently.

The tiger mother had some insight and saw through the vibration pattern of the "tiger and leopard thunder sound", so she lay down on the ground and imitated it.

At first, the sound was distinct, but gradually it caught up with the rhythm of Hu Yao, causing the two thunder sounds to coincide with each other at the same frequency.

The air in the cave seemed to be vibrating, exuding a sense of perfect harmony.

It's probably like...the sound of pattering rain can help you sleep, and seeing others eating well will make you eat two more mouthfuls of food.

The three little ones, exhausted from the fuss, fell asleep on the ground, snoring along with the sound of thunder, and their bodies experienced strange vibrations.

Eat, sleep, snore.

These are the only three things the tiger does after it opens its eyes. On average, it wakes up to eat once every hour and a half.

This resulted in insufficient food storage and the animal had to eat raw meat the next day.

It's fishy, ​​nutritious, but not tasty.

This was Huyao's inner thought when he ate for the first time.

Those smart eyes killed an entire pheasant with a look of resistance.

Somehow, its IQ is frighteningly high, and it will not stop doing things that are beneficial to itself because of its likes and dislikes.

It seems...as the king of the jungle, the obsession to become stronger is deeply imprinted in its blood and consciousness?

That's the only way to explain it.

carry on.

Eat, sleep, snore.

Five days, ten days, one month...

Tiger Yao is like green vegetables in a greenhouse, growing wildly and growing at a speed that astounds Tiger.

From the arm length to over one meter, to the shoulder height of about one meter, the body length is about two meters, and the tiger tail still accounts for two-thirds of the body length.

It grew from the weakest one in the den to the size of two tiger brothers.

After opening my eyes, No.40 seven days.

A lone wolf took advantage of the tiger mother to go hunting and got into the tiger's den. The giant wolf, which was two meters high at the shoulders, was a life-or-death crisis for the four tiger brothers, even though it was old, lame and covered with serious illnesses.

In the end, Hu Yao, relying on his smaller size and greater flexibility in narrow caves, teamed up with the three tiger brothers to kill the old wolf.

The price was that Hu San's abdomen was torn open by the wolf's fangs, his organs were scattered on the floor, and he lost his breath on the spot.

Looking blankly at the corpse of his third brother, Hu Yao mechanically tore open the throat of the wolf corpse and swallowed the hot wolf blood. Things like "cruelty", "survival of the fittest", "the weak and the strong", "survival of the fittest" kept popping up in his mind... ...and other strange thoughts.

After the tiger mother came back, she silently took away the body of the tiger cub and buried it under a century-old tree.

No. 40 For eight days, the three brothers were taken by the tiger mother to learn hunting.

Hu Yao was as smart as ever. He started out as soon as he started learning, left the team and acted alone. He caught a delicate sika deer and dragged it into the valley to drink the deer's blood.

A moment later, a thunderous snoring sounded in the valley.

More than seventy days have passed since the sun rose and set, and winter arrived as promised, with the wind and snow falling.

Hunting becomes more difficult.

In the old forest, there are snow-covered ditches everywhere that can swallow Huyao. You must know that it is now nearly two meters high at the shoulder.

But the smart tiger knows how to avoid danger and has the knack of finding prey. He never returns empty-handed every time he hunts.In fact, after the entire winter, its size has increased significantly.

In spring, the snow melts and Huyao's family begins to migrate.

Well...migrate separately.

Huyao was kicked out of the small family. He was so smart that he felt disappointed, but he had already expected such a day.

Secretly escorting the tiger mother and her two brothers for hundreds of miles, hearing the tiger roaring in the distance, the tiger fell to the ground and kowtowed, and only after a long time did he stand up and turn around to return the way he came.Returning to the former cave, he used the hundreds of miles here as his hunting ground, showing his cruel nature.

First, hunt down all the wolves.

After birth, in November, Tiger Yao slaughtered or drove away all the large animals within hundreds of miles around the hunting ground, turning it into a "barren land".

It is very satisfied, likes to kill, and likes to show its fierce power.

At this time, Hu Yao's size has surpassed that of a tiger mother, with a shoulder height of nearly four meters. He can't hide his tracks when walking in the forest.

It began to march deeper into the virgin forest.

No. In December, it encountered a life-and-death crisis. It was a crested dark red poisonous python.

As smart as a tiger, you are very careful not to be bitten and injected with venom, not to be entangled in the snake's body...

But who knew it could spray venom more than twenty meters away?
The venom vaporized into mist and enveloped the tiger's face. He immediately felt a burning corrosive feeling and penetrated into his nose. The effect of the medicine began to spread throughout his body.

Fortunately, Hu Yao closed his eyes in time to avoid the tragic fate of becoming a blind tiger.

The tiger's ears moved and he heard the sound of breaking wind coming towards him. The tiger stumbled around and ran away.

I don't know how many trees were broken and how many vines were torn off. The poisonous force came up and my vision was blurred. I fell into a rushing river with my head covered.

Fortunately, the sky is the limit.

In the gentle downstream, a "hangover" tiger swam ashore with a six-meter-long crocodile in its mouth.

It survived the snake venom, and when it woke up, a big fish was brought to its mouth to replenish it. It was indeed God's most favored cub.

It is said that eels are like good abalone, and crocodiles are like evil leopards.

Brother Qinbao didn't come today, so I entertained his old cousin - you, Brother Hu, and I did the same.

In the first year and four months, I challenged Chocobo. Those strong bird legs left a deep impression on Huyao... very strong and very delicious.

In the first year and six months, a brown bear nearly 20 meters tall made the tiger flee.

In the second year and three months, Huyao saw a human for the first time. He was six meters tall, with red earth color skin and covered in animal skins. There was an instinct in his heart that drove him away.

Don't get close to them, it will bring you misfortune!
In the fourth year and seventh month, Tiger Yao was venting in his territory. He felt that he was "high enough" and wanted to break through the "ceiling" above his head that restricted him.

It slowly returns along the way it came, looking for a kind of soul throbbing.

In the fifth year and two months, when I returned to my former birthplace, the cave was already occupied by a black panther.

Trapped in it and shivering.

Today's Huyao is no longer as brutal as when he first debuted. He still likes to kill, but only against those powerful opponents who can bring him a sense of satisfaction.

It didn't do anything to the black panther. After staying for half an hour, it turned around and left, continuing to look for the tiger mother and the two brothers.

In the fifth and ninth year, I searched aimlessly for nearly seven months, but there was always a tangle in its heart that could not be fulfilled.

The smart Huyao sometimes finds it funny.

He is obviously a beast in the mountains, how can he have such delicate emotions and thoughts as humans.

Continue to search for spiritual perfection.

In the sixth and third year, it met a sick tiger.

It's a male tiger.

But it was even smaller than the tiger mother in Hu Yao's memory. It was blind in one eye, skinny, half of its tail was broken off, and there were scars all over its body.

To be honest, this tiger was probably worse than the lone wolf it killed for the first time.

But Hu Yao was stunned, his eyes were bloodshot.

This is his second brother!

How could it be so miserable?They have all reached the point where they are running out of fuel!

It's a pity that Brother Hu has a limited IQ and cannot recognize Hu Yao at all, and he also has some "senile dementia".

But as soon as he heard that he wanted to avenge him and regain his place, he led Huyao to a tribe where nearly a thousand people lived.

Looking at the tribe that looked like giant beasts entrenched on the plain, Brother Tiger howled at the top of his lungs.

Tiger Yao understood what it meant—Tiger Mother and Brother Tiger all died in the hands of the group of humans below, and their bodies were carried into the city.

Night falls, dark clouds cover the moon, and tigers attack the city.

The city wall built of centuries-old logs could not even withstand a collision. It rushed into the residential area and rolled on the spot, turning into a millstone of flesh and blood...

A large tribe was slaughtered in blood and fire.

Hu Yao followed his breath and found two mutilated tiger skins, which were the only things left by the mother and brother.

With intense sadness in his heart and violent fluctuations in consciousness, it finally broke through the "ceiling".

But if there is a choice, Hu Yao would rather not take it.

Brother Tiger staggered over and fell on two tiger skins. There was no good flesh on his body and the blood was almost dry.

When it was dying, its cloudy eyes seemed to regain clarity, and it let out a pleasant whimper, knowing that the whole family was together again.

The tiger howled and flew away from here with Brother Tiger and two tiger skins on his back, returning to the cave where they were born.

It starts here and ends here.

In the ninth year and three months, Hu Yao, who had been dormant for three years, set out again to the core area of ​​​​the primeval forest to gain the prestigious reputation of "Tiger King".

No. 19 years and ten months ago, Hu Yao became one of the supreme "Beast Kings" on this planet.

No. 20 Three years and seven months ago, a huge warship fell from the sky. Huyao looked at the behemoth and felt frightened for no reason.

The special spiritual madness it was born with reminds it that it must escape as soon as possible and stay away from this miserable indigenous planet that will be shrouded in catastrophe.

escape?
Where can I escape?

This is the land that raised me. The tiger mother and three brothers are buried here.

No.20 Three years and eight months ago, Hu Yao went to watch from a distance. The first people to suffer were humans. They were tied up in batches, connected in series with iron chains, and driven into the belly of the behemoth.

No.20 Three years and eleven months, disaster spread from humans to other species.

As one of the famous "Beast Kings" on the planet, Huyao was captured without any resistance, put on a slave collar, stripped of his self-awareness, and fell into a state of confusion.

When it woke up again, it had been sent to a circular building and forced to perform an activity called "beast fighting."

Huyao cherishes every moment of consciousness.

Survive one death battle after another, accumulate a winning streak, and become the number one player in the Colosseum.

It secretly accumulates strength and never gives up its pursuit of freedom.

Unfortunately, God failed to fulfill his wish, and the winning streak was finally fixed at 797 games.

In order to make a big profit, the Colosseum management decided to sacrifice it.

Hu Yao was injected with chronic toxins before he appeared on the stage. With his half-stiffened body, he burst out with a final burst of brilliance, instantly killing his opponent with lightning field, and then died from the poison.

"I am... Hu Yao?"

"No, Jiang Zhe! I am Jiang Zhe!"

At the last moment of his life, the confusion in the womb was gone, Hu Yao... no, Jiang Zhe completely regained his clarity.

But it was too late. Looking back, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly.

A beast king, the pinnacle of planetary level, even if it has a domain, what does it count as in the universe?

……

　The protagonist's state of mind will be improved through the "Hidden Dragon Method" in the future.

　　This is my first time practicing, so I wrote it in such detail. I will omit it in the future.

　　It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I'm going to post two updates, with 6000 words.
