Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 365: Violent sharp-clawed tiger (1/3)
It was near 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 lit the sky, making the surrounding flowing clouds look golden and red like burning flames.
From the agate stone plain to Anling, there are large tracts 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.
Except for bursts of penetrating chewing sounds.
Kacha...Kacha...
About the height of a person, a five or six meter long giant tiger was burying its head in the carcass of the camel beast. Next to it was an overturned and broken carriage. The white spine was exposed from the broken waist and abdomen.
Its fur is deep black, with golden-brown stripes all over its body. The smooth fur reflects the cold light of steel under the setting sun that passes through the shade of the branches.
Under its thick fur, there are layers of flesh and blood structures, and the bulging muscles on its thick forelimbs are extremely developed. It can be seen from the first glance that the bones may be crushed by this beast's claws.
Just like that giant horned camel, the spine was smashed down abruptly, and the body was unnaturally skewed.
But the most striking thing about the creature is its sharp and sharp blade claws, which are terrifying at first glance. The slightly curved blade claws carelessly pressed against the frame of the carriage beside it, and the solid wooden boards were split open, 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 it is difficult for even the most unlucky hunters to encounter them. , its threat index to humans will be higher.
Just now, it rarely appears in the plain forest outside the mountain.
Kacha...
Juhu stopped chewing suddenly, turned his head slowly, and swallowed the luscious viscera 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 let out a threatening roar. 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 beasts. The longer a monster lives, the closer it is to human intelligence, and the carnivores at the top of the food chain can use their instincts to judge the strength of the enemy and ourselves—especially the kind An opponent that can never be defeated.
King of Beasts is just a name given to it by humans. For Warcraft, survival is the number one priority 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 swooped forward with its front right limb raised high. Three claws that were powerful enough to cut through the armor tore through the air, and pointed directly at the figure's head.
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 tightly gripped the blade claw.
Then, snap it off at the root.
This kind of pain is indescribable, no less than humans crushing their fingers little by little, or inserting a red-hot iron pick into the nail cap, and it is even more painful——Sharp Claw Tiger issued With an earth-shattering scream, his whole body trembled as if struck by lightning and rolled backwards obliquely, hitting the tree heavily, causing the arbor to break.
But the figure heard a sense of relief from the screams, his 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, which penetrates deep into the flesh and blood.
He understands.
Then picked up a strange alchemy gun from his waist.
Following the source quality input, the figure aimed it at the trembling tiger who stood up again. The opponent's eyes were indifferent, and it could even be said to be lifeless, and once again roared at his enemy.
The gray-black hyphae spread around the tiger's eye sockets, but they couldn't be seen clearly because of the black and brown fur.
The 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 the indifferent tiger's eyes, stirring its brain, causing the monster to lose its attacking momentum and fall back to the ground.
Even though the strong blood-brain barrier prevented the water from passing through the fragile brain immediately, the violent shock still destroyed the relatively fragile brain tissue structure, causing the giant tiger's self-awareness to dissipate, and the pounce changed. Into a slow, unsteady walk.
However, the remaining physical instincts still control the giant tiger to continue attacking the enemy... It's just that this is meaningless. at its neck.
Exerting force from the left arm, the huge force directly crushed the thick spine and the surrounding cartilage tissue. The split fur and muscle tissue burst like a water-filled sponge. Several blood columns were shot out.
The still-struggling majestic body of the giant tiger lost its strength in an instant, its limbs drooped, and its breath of life dissipated.
It's kind of 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 the pain can only be curbed 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 eyes are also eroded by hyphae. Obviously, the eyesight that the sharp-clawed tiger is proud of is also destroyed. It is difficult to survive in the depths of the dangerous mountains. They can only come to the fringe area around the agate stone plain for food.
Withdrawing his gaze, Yin En shook his head slightly and sighed: "It seems that the killing order of Flameland is going to be moved forward. No wonder Nanling Province didn't cooperate with the Empire Center after three years in the Dream of the Hive. Counterattacking the Grand Duchy of Thorin... I am afraid that there is 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 this is meaningless to real monsters, but just being a little stronger than the people around them is enough to calm their restless hearts.
And when the unharmed Yin En brought the sharp claw tiger's body to the wooden wall of the village, everyone held their breath and was stunned for a moment.
Cheering and crying followed.
