The Tiger Spirit Beast is only a Level Two Spirit Beast, and at this moment, Ling Mo Xie, who is already Level Twenty, naturally does not fear it. He continuously fires Fireballs at it, causing the Spirit Beast to jump around under the tree, trying to dodge Ling Mo Xie's Fireballs.
"Haha!" Ling Mo Xie laughed heartily, seizing the opportunity to leap onto the back of the Tiger Spirit Beast. He took out the Balao Blade and executed a Nine Waves Long River Blade Technique, striking the tiger's neck.
"Ding! Congratulations, you have gained 1,000 Experience Points!" Ling Mo Xie curled his lips; 1,000 experience points is hardly anything compared to what is needed to reach Level Twenty-One. It was too little, practically just a drop in the bucket! But still, better than nothing!
Killing this tiger yielded not even a single Small Red Bottle, which made Ling Mo Xie pout in disappointment. However, after this tiger, Ling Mo Xie's day of slaughter began anew!
Yet, it seemed his luck had run out. After an entire day of hunting, he found nothing worthwhile—only a few Small Red Bottles and Small Blue Bottles. This made Ling Mo Xie realize that the drop rate was quite low; it appeared that finding so many items yesterday was indeed just sheer luck!
Three or four days passed like this, with Ling Mo Xie tirelessly hunting Spirit Beasts to level up. The area he was in was nearly devoid of Spirit Beasts, and some lower-level ones would flee at the sight of him. Those low-level Spirit Beasts offered little experience, so Ling Mo Xie couldn't be bothered to hunt them. Meanwhile, he had also leveled up to Twenty-Five, equivalent to what this world referred to as the Mid Stage of Enlightenment.
One day, after searching for most of the day without finding a single worthy Spirit Beast to kill, Ling Mo Xie sighed in frustration and decided to head toward a more distant area he hadn't explored yet.
After walking for over half an hour, Ling Mo Xie entered a quiet forest. This was already on the outskirts of the Chengqi Valley. He had seen it while riding the Azure Wind Beast. The dense forest that seemed endless lay right next to it!
At this moment, hidden behind him, Spirit Sword furrowed its brow in hesitation about whether it should step out and stop Ling Mo Xie from proceeding further. The reason being that the Chengqi Valley is actually on the outskirts of the Endless Mountains. Venturing deeper could be truly dangerous; encountering Level Four or Five Spirit Beasts or even Demon Beasts would not be surprising!
However, thinking about how well Ling Mo Xie had performed these past few days made Spirit Sword hesitate. He was not the legendary Waste, but rather much more outstanding than many of his peers! Although Spirit Sword still did not understand why Ling Mo Xie always sought trouble with those Spirit Beasts, tirelessly hunting them down, perhaps he had his own reasons!
Thus, Spirit Sword continued to carefully conceal itself while following behind Ling Mo Xie.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally encountered a few Level Two Spirit Beasts, contributing some experience points for zeroing out for him. The sun was already setting when Ling Mo Xie checked his experience bar and prepared to find another Spirit Beast. After killing it, he planned to return to his resting place from these past few days for some sleep.
Due to the continuous killings by Ling Mo Xie, no Spirit Beasts dared to approach that place anymore. It was as if the Spirit Beasts had tacitly acknowledged it as the territory of a powerful "Spirit Beast," making it quite safe.
After walking a few steps, Ling Mo Xie found himself in an open area, a treeless lawn beside a clear stream. The stream was cool and transparent, allowing him to see the sand, fish, and aquatic plants beneath the water—a truly beautiful sight!
Ling Mo Xie approached the stream, intending to crouch down for a drink, but suddenly thought about how rare it was to find a stream like this without even a single Spirit Beast or ordinary animal coming to drink.
Thus, although Ling Mo Xie continued to crouch down to drink, his eyes were darting left and right, and he remained very alert.
Sure enough, just as Ling Mo Xie scooped up some water and was about to lower his head to drink, a fierce gust of wind rushed from behind him. Ling Mo Xie quickly turned around and shot out a Fireball!
With a loud bang, the Fireball struck the Tiger Spirit Beast that was pouncing toward Ling Mo Xie, causing it to fall to the ground and roll over several times.
"Beast! Seeking death!" Ling Mo Xie clapped his hands and said with an air of righteousness. He thought to himself how no wonder those Righteous Sect characters on TV shout like this when killing small animals; it felt so satisfying! It was as if he were truly acting on behalf of heaven! Hehe!
"Roar!" The Tiger Spirit Beast was entirely snow-white with some black stripes and had a vertical eye on its forehead. Its limbs were robust, and at that moment, it let out a long howl towards the sky, displaying its might!
Clearly enraged! The vertical eye on its forehead opened, and Ling Mo Xie felt his soul tremble as if it were being pulled away. However, after a moment, the trembling stopped, and a voice echoed: "Ding! System encountered an attack; defense System automatically activated!"
Ling Mo Xie shook his head in fear. Fortunately, this System seemed to exist within his soul. The Spirit Beast's attack on his soul was interpreted by the System as an attack on itself, thus automatically activating the defense System and protecting his soul in the process!
He had nearly met his end at the hands of this beast. Furious, Ling Mo Xie unleashed fireballs continuously at the tiger, causing it to howl in pain. He was puzzled as to how this creature remained unharmed under his Soul Snatching Tiger.
The Soul Snatching Tiger was the spell that the tiger had previously used against Ling Mo Xie; it was the strongest spell of this Tiger Spirit Beast!
"Roar! Roar!" The earth-shattering howls echoed continuously, sending shivers down the spines of all the Spirit Beasts within a thousand meters. What happened to that Tiger Overlord today? Did someone provoke it?
The tiger's cries were relentless; one could say they were more like wails. This tiger was definitely not a Spirit Beast in its awakening phase, as Ling Mo Xie's Fireball caused very little damage when it hit! Seeing this scene, Ling Mo Xie speculated that the soul-attacking spell must be its strongest ability. Now that spell had failed, leaving it completely at his mercy!
"Roar!" The tiger let out a cry and, lacking any courage, turned to flee.
Ling Mo Xie was taken aback. The Tiger Spirit Beast that had been so arrogant just moments ago was running away? Hmph! You think you can escape? Not on my watch!
Ling Mo Xie quickly chased after it, repeatedly casting his only spell, Fireball. "Roar! Roar!" The tiger continued to wail in agony. How did I end up provoking such a Demon Star today? If I had known, I wouldn't have targeted it!
The sun had already hidden half its face, and Ling Mo Xie had been attacking the Tiger Spirit Beast for quite some time, yet it still hadn't died! He wondered just how thick its blood was! Just as Ling Mo Xie was about to stop and head back to rest, the tiger let out another roar and stopped fleeing, instead crawling at his feet.
At the same time, two voices rang in his ears: "Ding! Riding the Clouds and Admiring the White Tiger recognizes you as its master. Do you agree? Yes or No?" "Ding! Beast Pet System activated. You now have two pet slots available!"
