“Roar!”
Another beast roar sounded. After she heard that sound, even though she hadn’t seen the beast, she was sure that the spirit beast was injured. It’s breath was a little messy and the beast’s roar was no longer as powerful as its previous roar.
“Boom boom!”
It seemed to be the sound of sword energy hitting the ground and also the sound of the spirit beast hitting the tree. Though they couldn’t see it, the noise seemed to be getting closer and closer.
“Retreat!”
Old Patriarch Lu waved his hand and gestured for everyone to retreat quickly. The people who heard his command surrounded him in a protective circle as they stepped back together and backed away to a distance away.
Feng Jiu followed them and retreated up until the scene before her eyes appeared and she stopped retreating.
A rare white tiger had rushed out of the forest through the trees. It wasn’t just that it was a rare white tiger, this tiger was also pregnant. Judging from its swollen belly, the tiger was probably due to give birth to its baby cub soon.
The white tiger’s snow-white fur was stained with blood and its front leg seemed to be injured because when it ran, it seemed to be limping. However, compared to its injuries, what made it insufferable for the tiger was more likely fleeing from the humans that were hunting it and the impact that was having on its baby in its belly.
It didn’t seem able to run anymore, its hind legs trembled and there was blood trickling down its hind legs. However, at this moment, more than a dozen cultivators chased after it and surrounded the white tiger.
The dozen people looked evil and fierce and their strength was at the level of Nascent Soul. Amongst them was a cultivator in the mid-stage of Celestial Strong Exponent. He was most likely their leader.
He glanced over at Old Patriarch Lu and his entourage, but he seemed to look down on them. He moved his gaze away from them and his eyes fell onto the white tiger. He raised his head and laughed: “Hahahaha! We have been chasing this white tiger for nearly a month and this time it has finally fallen into our hands!”
A bald-headed cultivator next to him leaned forward and asked excitedly: “Elder brother, the white tiger looks like it’s about to give birth. Should we wait for it to give birth before catching them in one fell swoop or should we catch it before it goes into labour? Or should we kill the tigress and cut out the little white tiger from her belly?”
“Kill the tigress and take the little white tiger from her belly!” The mid-stage Celestial Strong Exponent said as he stared gloomily at the white tiger: “The tigress is a peak stage Saint Beast, if it somehow advances it will become a Sacred Beast and by then it will be even more difficult to deal with it.”
The cultivator in the mid-stage Celestial Strong Exponent level narrowed his eyes and said in a vicious voice: “The white tiger is rare. Kill the tigress and take the skin off then sell it at auction. One piece of white tiger skin is enough to feed us for several years. As for the little white tiger in its belly, naturally I will keep it myself and contract it so that it will become my contract beast.”
“Alright, we will listen to our elder brother’s command.” The dozen or so people shot out in an instant and closed in on the white tiger.
In the distance, when Old Patriarch Lu saw that Feng Jiu was standing in front and had not retreated, he couldn’t help but called out: “Young Brother Feng, Young Brother Feng, come over here quickly.”
“Those people are an eyesore!” Feng Jiu murmured. Her fingers twitched and a pill was tossed into the fire pit in front of her.
“Hey, these are loose cultivators, their strength is extraordinary. They aren’t’ someone we can provoke. Come over here quickly.” Old Patriarch Lu said in a low voice. He was about to pull her when he saw Feng Jiu turn and smile at him suddenly.
