  Chapter 367 Ferocious sharp-clawed tiger (13)

  It was close to evening, and the setting sun slowly sank into the rolling Baisen Mountains in the west. Half of the orange-red fireball was half covered in darkness, and half ignited the sky, making the surrounding flowing clouds look golden red like a burning flame.

  From the agate stone plain to the Leian collar, there are large expanses of arbor forests. The clustered canopies bear the afterglow of the sun, and are plated with a dull golden veil together with the distant mountains.

  Cooking smoke rose from distant villages, and the gray smoke column was swept high into the sky by the swirling wind.

  The forest was silent.

   In addition to bursts of chewing sound.

  Crack...Crack...

About as tall as a person, a five-six-meter-long giant tiger was burying its head in the body of the camel beast. Next to it was an overturned and broken carriage. The white spine is exposed in the abdomen.

  Its fur is deep black, with golden-brown stripes all over its body. Under the setting sun shining through the branches, the smooth fur reflects the cold light of steel.

  It has layers of flesh and blood structure under its thick fur, and the bulging muscles on its thick forelimbs are extremely developed. It can be seen from the first look that the bones may be crushed if it is hit by this beast's claws.

  Like that giant horned camel, the spine was slammed down abruptly, and the body was unnaturally skewed.

   But the most striking thing about the creature is its sharp and sharp blade claws that are daunting at first glance. The slightly curved blade claws carelessly pressed against the frame of the carriage beside it, and the solid plank was split like butter.

   Sharp-clawed tiger. The well-deserved top layer of the ecological circle on the land of Nanling.

   In front of it, even the swamp crocodile can only back away from it. When the Nanling giant elephant was not extinct, only adult male giant elephants dared to challenge the majesty of the king of the jungle alone.

If it weren't for the predation range of a sharp-clawed tiger as high as more than a hundred square kilometers, most of the sharp-clawed tigers live in the mountain jungles deep in the Baisen Mountains, and even the most unlucky hunters are hard to come across. The human threat index will be higher.

  Just now, it rarely appears in the plain forest outside the mountain.

  click…

   Juhu stopped chewing suddenly, turned his head slowly, and swallowed the luscious internal organs in his mouth. Its body swelled, and its indifferent golden eyes locked on the figure that suddenly appeared, giving it a great sense of danger.

   It was a human figure wrapped in silver armor. Compared with the thick and solid Terra full-body armor that can turn people into humanoid tanks, the alchemist's armor focuses more on the dexterity of the joints, so at first glance it looks more like a robe made of some kind of metal armor. Only the chest has a solid armor shell.

  The face of the figure is covered by a helmet with a structure similar to a gas mask, and a cold blue light flashes from the black observation port.

  As if stung by that gaze, the giant tiger roared threateningly. The huge roar shook the fallen leaves around and made the forest noisy.

   If it is in a normal state, it will choose to escape.

The wisdom of monsters is far beyond ordinary people's imagination of wild beasts. The longer the monsters live, the closer they are to humans, and the carnivores at the top of the food chain can judge the strength of the enemy and us by instinct—especially the kind that can never be defeated. opponent.

  The King of Beasts is just a name given to it by humans. For Warcraft, survival is the number one priority that is countless times more important than respect.

  But now, the giant tiger, who was almost insane due to the pain and anger, chose to take the initiative when the figure continued to approach.

   At that moment, it was like a black lightning. Accompanied by a gust of wind, the Sharp Clawed Tiger pounced forward with its front right leg raised high. Three claws that were powerful enough to cut through the armor tore through the air, and pointed directly at the head of the figure.

   But the figure just raised its hand.

   clang! Dazzling sparks erupted, light golden lattice patterns flowed on the surface of the armor on the left hand of the figure, and the wind pressure brought by the giant tiger's slap even blew away all the fallen leaves and floating dust around, enough to blow the carriage apart with one blow. On the Sharp Claw, not only did it not penetrate the armor, it didn't even penetrate this layer of illusory source quality, it could only create waves of translucent ripples above it.

  The figure even turned around, taking advantage of the moment when the tiger's strength was exhausted, he turned his arm and grabbed the blade claw that was coming towards his head.

  Crackling... There was a scalp-numbing sound of metal scraping, and the gauntlet with crystal lattice was tightly gripping the blade claw.

   Then, snap it off at the root.

This kind of pain is indescribable, no less than human beings crushing their fingers little by little, or inserting a red-hot iron pick into the nail cap, and even more painful—the sharp-clawed tiger let out an earth-shattering cry Screaming, the whole body trembled as if struck by lightning and rolled towards the rear obliquely, hitting the tree heavily, causing the arbor to break.

  But the figure heard a sense of relief from the screams, and the blue eyes flickered, and he looked at the base of the sharp claw he had broken off.

   There, there is a layer of gray-black mycelium, deep into the flesh and blood.

  He understood.

   Then he picked up a weird alchemy gun from his waist.

  Following the input of source quality, the figure pointed it at the trembling tiger who stood up again. The opponent's eyes were indifferent, even apathetic, and once again roared at his enemy.

  Grey-black hyphae spread around the tiger's eye sockets, but they couldn't be seen clearly because of the black and brown fur.

   Its paws sank deep into the soil, crushing the branches and leaves. It exerted strength with its limbs again, opened its mouth full of fangs, and rushed forward.

  collapse—

  The pressurized high-energy water column shot out, piercing through the indifferent tiger's eyes, stirring its brain, causing the monster to lose its attack momentum and fall back to the ground.

Even though the strong blood-brain barrier prevents the water from passing through the fragile brain immediately, the violent shock still destroyed the relatively fragile brain tissue structure, dissipating the giant tiger's self-awareness, and the pounce turned into a slow attack. Take a leisurely walk.

However, the remaining physical instincts still control the giant tiger to continue attacking the enemy... But this is meaningless. The figure who put away the water gun stepped forward, ignoring the soft attack of the giant tiger, and pinched his neck with one hand .

The left arm exerted force, and the huge force directly crushed the thick spine and the surrounding cartilage tissue. The split fur and muscle tissue burst out several times like a water-filled sponge being squeezed by someone. blood column.

  The still-struggling majestic body of the giant tiger lost its strength in an instant, its limbs drooped, and its breath of life dissipated.

   But it was a bit like a relief.

  【Sharp Claw Tiger's Blade Claw (Nanling Species)】

  【First energy level Mycelium festering Normal · Inedible】

  【The sharp-clawed tiger that lives in the basin forest deep in the Baisen Mountains, the blade claws that have festered at the root due to mycelium erosion, are usually itchy and unbearable, and can only be curbed with pain by scratching hard objects, which will lead to biological violence】

  【After being sterilized, it can be used as a normal sharp-clawed tiger’s claws and processed into daggers or short knives】

  【Containing source quality: 92.5261 base units】

  【…】

In addition, the binoculars were also eroded by hyphae. Obviously, the eyesight that the sharp-clawed tiger was proud of was also destroyed. Forage for food in the fringe areas surrounding the Onyx Stone Plains.

Looking back, Ian shook his head slightly and sighed: "It seems that the killing order of Flameland is going to be moved forward. No wonder that in the dream of the nest, Nanling Province did not cooperate with the Empire Center to counterattack Thorin three years later. The Grand Duchy...I'm afraid it has no time for him."

  Shaking his head, he grabbed the fur of the tiger, which was bigger than a cow, and dragged it towards the distant village.

  It was already night, and the village head and hunters of Jinye Town were nervously waiting for the knight's return.

  They were wearing leather armor, and the Xiangyong behind them were also holding wooden spears and pitchforks. Some of them were well-equipped and even prepared a small shield for themselves.

  Although everyone knows that all of this is meaningless to real monsters, but as long as they are slightly stronger than the people around them, it is enough to calm their restless hearts.

   And when Ian, who was unharmed, brought the corpse of the sharp claw tiger to the wooden fence of the village, everyone held their breath and was stunned for a moment.

   Followed by cheers and crying.
