Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 18 The Giant White-Forked Tiger
"What is Ah Sheng doing...?"

Zhao Lei lay on the wet ground by the stream, inching forward to get closer to the red muntjac that was drinking water.

Suddenly, Liu Sheng rushed out from his hiding place and ran towards him, waving and shouting.

He froze for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening and rolled forward with a sudden burst of speed…

"Awooo—!!"

The next moment, a roar exploded in his ears like a thunderbolt, making his bones go numb and his limbs go weak.

The grass and trees behind me rustled, followed by a strange gust of wind that carried a fishy smell.

We've been attacked by a giant insect!

Zhao Lei was terrified and instinctively got up and ran towards the stream.

However, due to excessive fright, his legs were weak, and he tumbled to the ground again.

Finished!

He recalled the miserable state of Uncle Changgen and Erniu that day, and his heart immediately turned to ashes.

Gouwa and his mother...

"Ow!"

Another tiger's roar rang out, rustling through the forest and startling birds into flight.

The red muntjac that was drinking water by the stream suddenly collapsed, defecating and urinating, and was actually scared to death.

Amidst the swirling winds, a yellow and black figure burst forth!
It was a huge, white-browed tiger with piercing eyes!
Its body is black and yellow, with a white spot resembling the character "王" (king) on ​​its forehead, and a long, thick tail like a steel whip that sways slightly from side to side.

It stands six or seven feet tall at the shoulders, with its head and tail exceeding two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters). It has a majestic and powerful physique, with its muscles bulging and bulging. As it moves, its colorful fur undulates like waves.

It growled softly as it slowly approached Zhao Lei, baring its teeth to reveal a mouthful of fangs, its amber eyes filled with...

A hint of mockery!
"Huhuhu..."

Zhao Lei was trembling all over, his face was deathly pale, and there was not a trace of blood in his eyes.

Only by facing this top-tier ferocious beast, known as the "King of Beasts," can one truly appreciate its terror.

Its sheer force as it approached was enough to shatter any will to resist.

"Brother Sheng, run! Don't worry about me!"

Realizing he was going to die, Zhao Lei calmed down. He mustered his courage and suddenly shouted:

"Gouwa and his mother... I'm counting on you!"

"roar-!"

Startled by Zhao Lei's roar, the ferocious tiger jumped back a few steps, then roared angrily and pounced.

"Get down!"

Just then, Liu Sheng had already rushed more than twenty steps away!
A bluish light appeared in his eyes, and the tiger's pounce seemed to slow down, with every detail magnified rapidly—

The tiger swung its tail downwards, propelled itself off the ground with its hind legs, its muscles surging, and the force layered and accumulated, ultimately converging into its two outstretched front paws…

Enough to break gold and split stone!

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

Three throwing knives flew through the air, aiming for the tiger's eyes and chest!
In mid-air, the ferocious tiger felt a gust of wind, and its pupils reflected two rapidly enlarging blade shadows, and then…

Fry until two bloody flowers bloom!
"Pfft! Pfft!"

"clang!"

Only the third throwing knife struck the tiger's chest, but it slipped off instantly, the blade curling back and cracking.

The throwing knives made of refined iron couldn't even break through the defense!
This ferocious tiger has developed supernatural abilities and is no longer of this mortal nature!
Liu Sheng's pupils contracted, and without stopping, he lunged forward and reached out to grab...

Grab Zhao Lei and run!
He had clearly seen that although the first two throwing knives had blinded the tiger, they had not penetrated deeply and were stuck in the bones inside!
In other words, the tiger was injured, but not fatally.

really…

The ferocious tiger roared, twitched its nose, and chased after them like a madman.

With throwing knives stuck in its eye sockets and blood streaming down its face, it appeared even more ferocious. Its claws moved with the wind, and it could pounce eight or nine feet away in one go.

In the blink of an eye, it pounced behind Liu Sheng, its tiger claws slashing out like sharp blades, tearing through the air and emitting a piercing "whoosh" sound.

Liu Sheng possessed a near-360-degree field of vision, granting him exceptional observation skills. He naturally spotted the ferocious tiger's movements and immediately grabbed Zhao Lei, crouching and rolling away...

At the last possible moment, it barely grazed the tip of the claw and avoided the attack.

The situation is extremely dangerous!

But this is far from over…

But after the ferocious tiger missed its target, it twisted its waist and hips, and its front paws came out from the side...

Enough to disembowel!
Tiger leaps!

In an instant, a foul stench assaulted my senses, making it impossible to open my eyes.

In the critical moment, Liu Sheng carried Zhao Lei and jumped up. While in mid-air, his body swayed like a snake, his waist and hips arching exaggeratedly backward, his body almost folding in half...

They dodged the tiger's outstretched claws.

Just then, a black and yellow steel whip ripped through the air and came hurtling towards them with incredible speed!

This whip strike is so powerful and heavy that it could shatter even iron armor...

At this moment, Liu Sheng was carrying Zhao Lei, suspended in mid-air, with nowhere to get any leverage!

In a flash, his muscles trembled, making cracking sounds, and he suddenly shrank, as if his entire body had been compressed by a third...

Then, like a snake pouncing on its prey, it sprang out, perfectly avoiding the sweeping tiger tail!
"Pfft!"

After landing, the two rolled several meters, covered in dust and looking extremely disheveled. Fortunately…

They survived!

The two were panting heavily, still shaken.

That was like dancing on a knife's edge!

"Ah Sheng, you're so stupid! I told you not to worry about me and to run for your own lives! Now neither of us can escape!"

Zhao Lei snapped out of his daze, both angry and anxious, but subconsciously overlooked...

He was saved from the jaws of a ferocious tiger, a beast of extraordinary power!
Could an ordinary person do that?

Fearing that he might have the same "self-sacrifice" thought again, Liu Sheng quickly tried to provoke him:
"You just want Gouwa to call me Dad?"

"I……"

Zhao Lei was speechless, his face full of conflict.

As a normal man, he certainly didn't have any particular hobbies, but now, in this perilous situation, he might only have one chance to survive...

How could he be so selfish?

After all, it was he who strongly persuaded us to go into the mountains this time!
"roar-!"

At this moment, the ferocious tiger, relying on its keen sense of smell, pinpointed the two's location and slowly approached.

A massive body the size of a small mountain, the terrifying aura of a top hunter, a ferocious appearance with blood-stained fur...

Like heavy hammer blows, they shattered Zhao Lei's will to resist.

In the end, he was just an ordinary person.

"Ah Sheng, I'll lure it away, you run away quickly..."

Zhao Lei was panting, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was completely determined to die.
"Gouwa and his mother—"

"Snapped!"

A chop to the back of his neck sent him to sleep instantly.

"Take care of yourself. Do you really think I'm a shelter?"

Liu Sheng grumbled irritably, got up, grabbed the unconscious Zhao Lei, and threw him more than twenty steps away with a burst of strength from his waist and abdomen.

"Blind cat, you really think I'm afraid of you?"

He glanced at the ferocious tiger a few steps away, a smirk spreading across his face, his aura turning sinister:

"Change!"

Before he finished speaking, a cloud of white mist rose from beneath his feet…

As the mist dissipated, a small, jet-black snake, about a foot long, appeared in the spot.

"hiss~"

It has a triangular head, blood-red eyes, is about the thickness of a chopstick, and is covered in black scales, with only a thin line of silvery white remaining on its belly…

It disappeared into the bushes.

"Hoohoo!"

The blind tiger growled, instinctively sensing something was wrong.

It wagged its tail and slowly backed away.

Having lost his eyesight, he is unable to see and relies entirely on his nose to locate objects by sensing their scent.

But just now, the aura of one of the two-legged creatures suddenly vanished, replaced by a chilling, sinister aura…

Just like those annoying and troublesome venomous snakes.

"Shuashua~"

It quietly retreated several dozen feet, about to turn around and run away.

Suddenly, a dark light darted out of the grass and bit into the wound on its right eye, instantly injecting venom...

Too fast to dodge!
It was none other than Liu Sheng transformed into the Iron-Scaled Serpent!

He took advantage of the fact that the vicious tiger couldn't see, and quietly lurked on the path it would inevitably take to leave!

"Hoohoho!"

The blind, vicious tiger roared in pain, frantically shook its head, and turned to flee.

But after running only a dozen steps, he suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Half of the tiger's face turned into pus and black blood, the blood turning black and poisonous, spreading throughout the body at a visible speed.

Such terrifying toxicity, it really is...

Seal your throat at the sight of blood!

Liu Shengsong took his mouth off, examined it, and immediately felt regret.

If this tiger skin were skinned and sold in the city, it would fetch at least thirty taels of silver…

Moreover, tiger meat, tiger bones, tiger penis...

Wait, is that a tigress?

It's milky white and swollen, still in the process of raising pups!
I hadn't noticed it before...

"Ouch—"

Just then, as if in a final burst of energy, the tigress let out a mournful roar.

Then, he died on the spot.

This…

Liu Sheng reverted to his original form and frowned as he looked at the spirit that had emerged from the tiger's corpse.

A mother tigress during her cub-rearing period is exceptionally irritable and usually stays near her den. How could she possibly appear here...?

The outskirts of Black Wind Mountain?
"roar-!!"

The next moment, a tiger's roar echoed from afar, like the thunder of a heavenly drum, shaking the trees, startling the birds and beasts, and even the Black Wind Mountain beneath their feet...

They kept shaking!
"...It's that tiger demon!"

Liu Sheng's pupils contracted, and he quickly transformed into a blue sparrow with a blade tail, grabbed Zhao Lei, and flew down the mountain...
