Chapter 188: Chapter 187 Winged Tiger Gift Pack

Without much effort, a badly wounded Eighth Stage Winged Tiger that had already taken its last breath, along with two severely injured Seventh Stage Winged Tigers, were collected by Tang San into his Storage Pouch.Just this haul alone far exceeded the total from their last training expedition.

Without meeting up with his teammates, Tang San continued to mask his presence while chasing in the direction where the Winged Tigers were being slaughtered. He needed to ensure Pretty Girl's safety, and of course, he'd also take the chance to pick up any spoils along the way. Something that bothered him was the limited space in his Storage Pouch; if there were a few more Winged Tigers, there would be no room left.

Winged Tigers are not herd creatures by nature; they live in family units. But within this territory of Winged Tigers, the Ninth-Stage King of Winged Tigers was the true sovereign. When the whole clan faced a crisis, at its rallying call, all Winged Tigers would naturally respond.

The tiger is the king of beasts, and in the Jiali Mountains, the Winged Tiger lineage is considered mighty. Ninth Stage is the peak for Demon Beasts. Monsters beyond the deity level disdain hunting these Demon Beasts, so they have always lived freely. But recently, they had been under continuous attack, even the mates and offspring of the Tiger King had been killed, leaving the entire Winged Tiger clan in a state of agitation.

Thus, the gift Tang San gave to the Beauty and Beast Squad was truly an enhanced one.

Song Junhou's heart was also twitching; he couldn't understand why things had suddenly turned out like this. He had never heard of anyone being pursued by a whole clan during their training in the Jiali Mountain Range, especially since Winged Tigers were not herd creatures! How could he be so unlucky?

Previously, by devouring the bloodline power of an Eighth Stage Winged Tiger with the Golden Holy Fire, it had restored some of its own bloodline, but the Golden Blood Origin within the Golden Holy Fire had begun to weaken. Activating the Golden Holy Fire indeed could restore oneself by burning the enemy's bloodline, but while it replenished the overall energy, the Golden Origin would consequently be consumed.

Ninth Stage, the roar heard earlier definitely belonged to a Ninth-Stage King of Winged Tigers, otherwise those few Winged Tigers would not have suddenly fought so desperately.

The Steel-backed Ape Monster and the Cat Demon had already sustained minor injuries, with wounds caused by the Wind Protective Energy bleeding outward.

Although the other members of the squad were not injured, they had expended a lot during the previous battles. Fighting with all their might, they could potentially put up a fight against a Demon Beast King, but injuries were inevitable. The more pressing issue was that it wasn't just the Tiger King they had to worry about. Other Winged Tigers were following as well! Based on its golden bloodline's sensory perception, it was naturally aware of this.

In terms of speed, they certainly couldn't outrun the Winged Tigers. What should they do?

Song Junhou turned his head to look at his teammates behind him and, in the next moment, his gaze fixed on Pretty Girl. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but then he suddenly paused.

Pretty Girl's expression was indifferent, simply running along with the other team members without showing any other emotions. Compared to the other members' panic, she appeared very calm.

Moved, Song Junhou shouted, "This won't work, the Winged Tigers are too fast, we can't outrun them. They will catch up to us soon. You go ahead, I'll cover the retreat."

"Boss, how can that be? How can we let you risk yourself alone?" The Bear Demon, true to being Song Junhou's right-hand man, showed his worth at this critical moment.

"No more nonsense, get going," Song Junhou abruptly halted, turned around and leaped over the heads of his teammates, landing behind them.

The Steel-backed Ape Monster and Cat Demon exchanged glances and the next moment, without hesitation, they sped up to flee. Pretty Girl also showed no intention of turning back.

As for the Skunk Demon and the Shadow Sparrow Monster, they were even less likely to stay. Their combat abilities weren't even a match for a Seventh Stage Winged Tiger.

Only that Sixth Stage Bear Demon stopped, standing beside Song Junhou.

"Idiot, hurry up and leave. What use is there for you to stay?" Song Junhou turned around and kicked the Bear Demon in the groin, sending it tumbling with a kick.

The Bear Demon opened its mouth, about to say something when from the sky, a massive shadow descended. It pounced straight toward Song Junhou.

The King of Winged Tigers at the Ninth Stage unleashed its full Wind Protective Energy, and the sharp Vigorous Qi burst out instantly, sweeping the surrounding trees into shreds. Those streaks of green light, like giant axes, aimed straight at Song Junhou and chopped down toward him.

"Roar—" A powerful lion's roar came from Song Junhou's mouth as golden radiance burst forth from him again. He had a few reasons for choosing to cover the rear and stay behind. They could not outrun the Winged Tigers; rather than being continuously chased and worn down, it was better to stay and fight to the death. Another reason was the earlier incident when Pretty Girl was besieged by the Peacock Demon Clan; he had led the other team members in flight, which would have undoubtedly left a very poor impression on Pretty Girl, and now was the best chance to reverse that impression.

Pretty Girl had managed to remain unscathed in the hands of five Eighth Stage Peacock Demons, and there must be some mystery in that, so earlier Song Junhou was filled with regret. This was an opportunity to reconcile that he did not want to miss. Moreover, he wanted to take this chance to see what Pretty Girl's trump card was. With so many Winged Tigers chasing them, it couldn't be just for him alone. There would likely be other Winged Tigers pursuing the rest, and the most he would have to face was the King of Winged Tigers.

Of course, the most important point was that he still held a card up his sleeve that could allow him to break through. As a Direct Transmission of Golden Bloodline, he had that much confidence.

So he chose to stay, with a demeanor showing he was prepared to meet his death. Sёarᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The fierce Golden Holy Fire blazed, Song Junhou's figure suddenly rose a few inches, his right claw struck out like lightning, piercing the air with a shrill whistle. The Golden Holy Fire collided with the Wind Protective Energy, turning it to gold, and Song Junhou revealed his true form, his entire body bursting with dazzling light. His golden mane stood completely on end, his majestic presence no less formidable than that of the King of Winged Tigers.

The violent booming sound exploded from the center of their collision, with wind element and fire element fiercely smashing into each other, wreaking destruction on the surroundings like a decaying force, shattering vegetation and sending dirt and rocks flying. The clash of the two powerhouses caused the elements in the area to agitate wildly.

The Bear Demon, kicked away by a foot, had already come to its senses. Being only at the Sixth Stage Cultivation base, it could not play any significant role in such a battle. However, just when it thought to flee, several figures descended from the sky.

One by one, fierce Winged Tigers landed, encircling from all directions. It was a truly intense sight! Under their watchful gaze, any courage the Bear Demon had initially had quickly dissolved. Its complexion drastically changed as it continued to retreat. But behind it was the battlefield of the two powerhouses, which was absolutely not a place it could approach.

"Boss, boss, save me! Save me. They, they're all coming." Overwhelmed by intense fear and sensing the terrifying elemental waves of wind around it, the Bear Demon was so frightened it almost wet itself.

It had no idea that its boss was at that moment filled with all kinds of curses in his heart.

Song Junhou had never imagined that the Winged Tigers would not show any sign of pursuing Pretty Girl and the others and had instead all chosen to besiege him here.

The effect of that drop of blood essence from Tang San was truly extraordinary. The enemy that had been locked onto by the King of Winged Tigers and despised with utter hatred, was him.

The King of Winged Tigers could not recognize its enemies by appearance, but what it could remember was the scent of the foe that had killed its mate on that day. While it had been fighting with Zhang Haoxuan, the King of Winged Tigers had not witnessed the situation on Tang San's side of the battlefield. And the enemy before it now carried that scent from the past, and from the strength it exhibited, it indeed seemed capable of killing its mate, so what more needed to be said?

By this time, Tang San had already arrived nearby. Seeing this scene, he was also somewhat shocked but then he let go of his worries. If Pretty Girl had also been in the midst of being besieged, then he would've had to think of a way to prepare to step in and rescue at any moment. But at this time, Pretty Girl was not in the group being besieged! Pretty Girl had already left, so then, it was time to sit back and watch the fight between the tigers and lions.

What a battle it was between lion and tiger.
