Chapter 245: Chapter 233: Battle Tiger

Wang Boxiong said, “Take a good three-day rest, you can take three days off and walk around with your girlfriend.”

Zhou Leng touched his bare head and said, “I’d better go into isolation for three days.”

Wang Boxiong nodded approvingly.

A determined and pure Extreme Martial Artist.

After bidding farewell to the three, Zhou Leng sent a message to Xu Qingjin, then posted in his moments that he would be going into isolation for a few days.

He headed straight for the Fierce Beast Realm, sat under the Frost Giant Tree, and took out the three kinds of Promotion Medicine Fruit given by the Eight-toothed Mammoth Clan from Xiaoba.

One was a large yam, one was golden honey, and one was large cordyceps.

He first drank away the honey bit by bit.

It wasn’t particularly sweet, but it was rich and smooth, as thick as honey, with a crisp fruit aroma.

In martial arts perception, the golden honey rapidly adhered to the surfaces of the mouth, esophagus, and stomach, forming a protective layer.

Once it adhered completely, he took out the large yam, afraid that processing it would affect its medicinal properties, so he began to gnaw it bite by bite.

The skin was tasteless, but the white pulp inside was crisp and sweet, a bit like coconut-flavored water chestnut.

After finishing, his stomach churned and bubbled with gas.

Zhou Leng opened his mouth and kept burping.

As the stomach gas dissipated, he swallowed the cordyceps in one gulp without chewing.

He circulated True Qi.

At first, there was no change, but after a while, his stomach roiled like a lively big carp crazily leaping inside.

An indescribable intense pain spread throughout his body.

Soon, the intense pain and numb itching spread from his stomach to various parts of his body.

In no time, Zhou Leng was wracked with pain and numbness all over, forming an indescribable agony.

Sure enough, the things from the Fierce Beast are intense.

Fortunately, Zhou Leng had endured the torture of the Land of Blades and could fully withstand this level of pain.

An hour, two hours, three hours…

After more than ten hours, Zhou Leng began to feel drowsy, though the pain had not stopped.

The pain intensity wasn’t high, but the duration was excessively long.

Luckily, having previously taken the Green Dragon’s Fang given by Jax and gained a strong resistance to toxins, otherwise, he might have needed to take Antitoxic Medicine.

To avoid the Antitoxic Medicine affecting the Promotion Elixir, being a proud Dragon Country native all his life, Zhou Leng chose to endure.

Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

After some unknown duration, he awoke and looked down to find his body returned to normal.

He looked at the time, he had slept for 36 hours.

He headed straight for Mammoth Lake, Huang and Xiaoba were not there, then sank into the water and closed his eyes to rest.

After resting for a while, he opened his eyes to see Huang and Xiaoba obediently soaking in the water.

“Where did you two wander off to?” Zhou Leng asked.

The two beasts dove underwater, leaving only their noses exposed.

Zhou Leng dutifully rested in the Fierce Beast Realm for three days and nights, not even cultivating the Undying Star Body.

He consumed pills daily, including Strengthening Body Pills and Leopard Tendon Pills, and took three Replenishing Essence Pills to fortify his body.

He had already consumed 100 Strengthening Body Pills in the previous days.

But because the Giant Body was too mighty, he still needed to keep taking Strengthening Body Pills; relying only on food and ordinary Marching Pills couldn’t supply enough nutrients.

On the fourth day, he leisurely walked to the lakeside with Huang.

Xiaoba hopped around, swinging his trunk in greeting.

Zhou Leng beckoned to Xiaoba with a finger.

Xiaoba looked confused.

Zhou Leng approached the two-story-high Xiaoba, placed his hands on the tree-like leg, and pushed mightily.

In an instant, his entire body twisted like a rope, whether the bones, muscles, or skin, the moment his feet stepped on the ground, he clearly felt the transmission of body power.

The whole body’s strength concentrated in his hands, landing on Xiaoba.

No True Qi was used.

Xiaoba remained unmoved, looking at Zhou Leng in puzzlement.

Zhou Leng took a deep breath, circulated Qi Blood, and then pushed hard.

Xiaoba staggered, his body leaning backward.

Xiaoba’s eyes widened in an instant.

Huang slowly opened his mouth in confusion.

“Oh…”

Xiaoba let out a gentle cry, then extended a large foot to tentatively kick at Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng pushed forward with both hands, gathering all the True Qi to block the mammoth’s large foot.

Boom.

Zhou Leng was sent flying, soaring seven or eight meters, landing on the beach.

Zhou Leng glanced at his hands, slightly red, but uninjured.

“Oh?” Xiaoba ran over excitedly to check on Zhou Leng.

Seeing Zhou Leng unhurt, Huang barked happily.

Zhou Leng looked at Xiaoba and said, “You’re about to be Innate, right? Just like those adult Eight-toothed Mammoths.”

Huang barked a few times, and it was unclear whether Xiaoba understood, hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Zhou Leng gazed at Xiaoba’s body, indeed a descendant of a Demigod Fierce Beast.

That simple kick just now contained extremely terrifying force.

Even giants couldn’t compare.

Now with his True Qi and Power combined, ordinary Late Stage Vitality could not withstand it, yet the Late Stage Vitality Xiaoba was as fierce as a beast.

“Let’s go pick some Orange Blossom Fruit.” Zhou Leng said.

Upon reaching the Orange Blossom Fruit grove, Xiaoba confidently bellowed.

Soon, five Black Bone Tigers rushed over.

The smallest Black Bone Tiger gave a low growl and pounced at Zhou Leng without a word.

Zhou Leng placed his left hand on his lower back, grabbed the Black Bone Tiger’s right front paw with his right hand, and threw it over his shoulder with one hand.

Boom!

The Black Bone Tiger landed, with more than half of its body embedded in the ground.

It was stunned for a while, tried to flip over with force, but its back was deeply embedded in the ground, and the four claws had no leverage, so it couldn’t flip over.

Its white fluffy belly was exposed.

In the Fierce Beast Realm, flipping over to expose the belly signifies submission or friendliness.

It roared angrily, its body twisting frantically left and right, finally loosening the soil around it, and then flipped over.

It looked at Zhou Leng with teary eyes, pounced at the feet of the Innate Black Bone Tiger, and hugged the Innate Black Bone Tiger’s leg, wailing bitterly.

The other Black Bone Tigers not only didn’t console it but also secretly laughed.

Xiaoba extended its nose, pointing at a Black Bone Tiger in the Vitality Early Period, lightly called, then pointed at Zhou Leng.

That Vitality Stage Black Bone Tiger strutted towards Zhou Leng with majestic steps.

Its body was enormous, as heavy as a small hill, but when its feet touched the ground, it made no sound at all.

“Roar…” The Black Bone Tiger growled lowly and leaped towards Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng took a deep breath, flowing Qi Blood circulated throughout his body, his body instantly expanded by a circle, and both hands pushed forward, meeting the two claws of the Black Bone Tiger.

Human hand clashed with tiger claw.

Both the person and the tiger stumbled and retreated.

The Black Bone Tigers’ eyes widened in astonishment.

The power of the Furless Fierce Ape could actually compare to a Black Bone Tiger of the same level, could the Ape Race be rising?

That Vitality Stage Black Bone Tiger, unwilling to accept this, attacked again.

Unlike the previous Body Refining Stage Black Bone Tiger, this Black Bone Tiger fully demonstrated what a top predator is.

No tricks, it launched the most direct ferocious attacks, be it slapping, grabbing, scratching, or biting.

Simple animal predation, yet it exerted the feeling of the Tiger Race Martial Arts.

Zhou Leng tried using a combination of real and false moves several times, but it backfired slightly.

After a long fight, he finally found the correct way to fight such an opponent.

Abandoning tactics, only following the simplest way of combat, direct strikes, and quick victories.

The person and the tiger tangled in the forest.

Trees were broken, pits were sunken, leaves fluttered.

The two were like wild beasts, fighting the most primitive battle for survival.

At first, the Black Bone Tiger seemed like an enemy, arousing Zhou Leng’s will to survive and fight.

Gradually, Zhou Leng adapted to the Black Bone Tiger’s attack pattern, breaking its methods, learning its methods.

Gradually, the Heart and Mind Shadow in Zhou Leng’s eyes began to change.

The previous moves were closer to standard forms.

But now, all moves underwent subtle changes according to the body, environment, and opponent.

The Heart and Mind Shadow officially entered the Second Layer Realm, All Transformations Follow the Heart.

Zhou Leng’s Giant Body of Wonders had just formed, purely in terms of strength, it was no match for this Black Bone Tiger.

But with True Qi, he surpassed it.

The Black Bone Tiger triumphed in its massive body, nearly 20 tons, which itself was a powerful weapon, while the net weight of a large truck was only about 10 tons.

Both sides, without holding back, went all out, fighting for more than half an hour, gasping and sweating all over, then they stopped.

That Black Bone Tiger softly growled a few times, flicked its tail, and turned around to retreat.

Zhou Leng took a long breath, regulated his Qi Manipulation, and restored his power.

This fight was exceptionally satisfying.

The Innate Black Bone Tiger let out a low growl, suddenly swung its paw, and tossed a large piece of something.

Zhou Leng reached out to catch it.

A section of bamboo, one and a half meters long, as thick as an adult’s calf, with a purple base, and golden and black tiger stripes floating on it.

Five Black Bone Tigers turned around and left.

“How to use this?” Zhou Leng asked Xiaoba.

Xiaoba thought for a moment, then gently leaped forward, making a splash sound with its mouth.

Next, its nose flipped upwards continuously, making bubbling sounds.

“Put it in water and cook it for drinking?”

Via Huang’s translation, Xiaoba nodded repeatedly.

“How effective is it?”

Chatting while walking back.

Xiaoba gestured to explain the efficacy of the Tiger-striped Bamboo.

This is a unique medicinal fruit of the Black Bone Tiger tribe, even the Eight-toothed Mammoth tribe exchanges other medicinal fruits for it every year.

It can be used to hold water as a tonic or boiled and drunk as a healing medicine.

It has a singular effect, strengthening bones, and it can quickly make bones heal, with extremely noticeable effects.

But besides being useful for bones, it is ineffective for even ordinary flesh wounds.

However, the more precious thing is the Tiger-striped Bamboo Shoot, which the Black Bone Tiger tribe seldom trades outside.

Zhou Leng took it back, planning to make it into a bamboo water container, half for daily drinking to strengthen bones, half to drink when bones are injured.

Bones are much harder to heal than muscles, as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to mend bones and tendons, which is a painful experience summarized by humans.

While walking, Zhou Leng inquired about the situation of nearby fierce beasts.

Through a combination of guessing and deduction, he roughly figured it out.

Surrounded by mountains, this is a large valley with a diameter of several hundred kilometers.

Possibly due to the influence of the Mysterious Forest, the stronger the fierce beasts, the more unwilling they are to approach here, making the entire valley the domain of the Mammoth tribe.

Aside from the Eight-toothed Mammoth, there are only ordinary fierce beast groups within the valley.

Outside the valley, demigod descendant fierce beasts would appear.

In the fierce beast world, demigod descendants are numerous.

According to human data, the surface area of the fierce beast world is hundreds of times that of Blue Star, nurturing countless powerful monsters.

Fierce beasts have a stubborn territorial nature, but not a very aggressive nature, most of the time they coexist peacefully.

Generally, only two situations would trigger a beast war.

One is territory competition, such as tribe expansion or splitting, which would trigger a great war.

The other is the manifestation of a Beast Tomb, where the power remnants of ancient beasts in the tomb would trigger a comprehensive war in the fierce beast world.

All fierce beasts would vie for the remaining power of the Beast Tomb, except for the demigod fierce beasts.

Most demigod fierce beasts ascend by absorbing the residual power of the Beast Tomb, and after their ascension, they abide by nature and instinct, no longer going there, giving weaker beasts a chance to grow.
