Chapter 354 Defeat one by one
Xiao Zi used her claws to fiddle with the blood-red bead, which rolled on the dark soil, emitting a strange glow.
Suddenly, the bead cracked with a "pop" sound, and a cloud of blood-red mist rose up, enveloping Xiao Zi.
A low whimpering sound was heard in the fog. When the smoke cleared, the black tiger it had killed was standing in front of it intact.
But the black tiger at this moment was completely different from before - the blood color in its eyes faded, replaced by a pair of amber eyes, sparkling with smart light.
The black tiger tilted its head to look at Xiao Zi, and even rubbed its dragon claws in a flattering manner, as docile as a domestic cat.
"Roar?"
Xiao Zi poked the black tiger's head with her claws in confusion, but the other party did not dodge. Instead, it licked its scales affectionately.
This sudden change left Xiao Zi confused for a moment, but it soon realized that this was a turning point.
Turning to look at the battlefield, Hu Qing and Gu Yang were already engaged in a tough fight.
Both men's clothes were soaked with sweat, Gu Yang had three claw marks on his right arm, and Hu Qing's left leg was bleeding.
What’s even more terrifying is that once these black tigers are seriously injured, they will turn into black mud and seep into the ground, and then emerge from the soil intact after a while.
It seems that we have to keep attacking it to prevent it from recovering again, but since neither of us can use weapons, it is bound to be a bit tricky.
Xiao Zi growled, signaling the newly conquered "partners" to follow, ready to assist one of them and help them escape the battle.
But just as it was about to take a step, an invisible force suddenly descended from the sky and pressed it hard to the ground.
The dragon scales rubbed against the black mud, making a harsh sound. Xiao Zi rolled over in pain, but couldn't even lift his head.
"Woo..." Seeing this, the black tiger anxiously circled in place, but did not dare to get close.
The force lasted for several breaths before slowly dissipating, as if warning it not to interfere.
Xiao Zi climbed up with a grin and looked around vigilantly - the wasteland was still dead silent, and apart from them, there was no sign of life at all.
Hu Qing was knocked down by the black tiger again, and his back hit the mud hard.
He gasped, and saw what happened to Xiao Zi from the corner of his eye. His heart sank: "This damn place... they won't even let me help?"
The situation in Guyang is not much better.
His fists were already bloody and every time he hit Black Tiger, it felt like hitting an iron plate.
What's even more bizarre is that these monsters seem to be deliberately controlling their strength—
Every time I knocked them down, I would stop and wait for them to get up before continuing to attack, as if... as if I was training them.
Hu Qing narrowed his eyes and looked at the ferocious black tiger, already having a plan in mind.
He glanced at the docile black tiger beside Xiao Zi, then looked at Gu Yang who was still fighting with another black tiger, and suddenly turned around and ran towards the nearest broken statue.
"Roar--"
Seeing this, the untamed black tiger immediately roared angrily and dug the ground with its four claws to chase after it.
The black substance on its body was surging like boiling water, and it was obviously completely enraged by Hu Qing's "escape" behavior.
Hu Qing deliberately slowed down his pace so that the black tiger always stayed three feet behind him.
The wound on his left leg was still bleeding, leaving a series of dark red footprints on the dark ground.
When he was only a few steps away from the statue, he suddenly heard the sound of breaking air behind him - the black tiger had already pounced on him!
At the critical moment, Hu Qing suddenly rolled sideways, and the black tiger's sharp claws brushed against his hair and hit the statue heavily.
With a crisp "crack", the statue's already broken arm shattered.
Hu Qing took the opportunity to stand up with a somersault, kicked the base of the statue with his right foot, and used the force to fly into the air.
As Hei Hu turned around, he saw a figure falling from the sky.
Hu Qing's legs were like clamps, tightly clamping the black tiger's neck, and he sat on its back.
The black tiger twisted its body wildly, trying to throw the bold human off, but Hu Qing grabbed the mane around its neck tightly with both hands and refused to let go no matter how it struggled.
"You beast, watch my fist!" Hu Qing shouted angrily, raised his right fist high, and smashed it hard on the crown of the black tiger with a sound of breaking through the air.
"boom!"
After the first punch, the black tiger roared in pain and black substance splashed like asphalt.
"Bang! Bang!"
After two consecutive punches, the black tiger's head was obviously sunken and its blood-red eyeballs trembled violently.
Hu Qing gritted his teeth and punched like raindrops.
His knuckles were already torn and blood mixed with the substance from the black tiger's body. Every punch he threw was accompanied by piercing pain.
But at this moment he ignored it and just mechanically repeated the action of swinging his fist.
We can't let this black tiger find a chance to burrow into the ground, otherwise all our previous efforts will be in vain.
After countless punches landed, Black Tiger's head finally couldn't bear it anymore and exploded with a "puff".
Black matter splattered everywhere, and a blood-red bead the size of a pigeon egg rolled to the ground, standing out against the dark soil.
Hu Qing rolled down from the black tiger's body, panting heavily, and stared at the red bead vigilantly.
Sure enough, the bead soon began to vibrate, countless fine lines appeared on its surface, and blood-colored mist gushed out.
When the fog dissipated, a slightly smaller black tiger squatted quietly on the spot, the blood color in its eyes faded, replaced by a warm amber light.
"Come here." Hu Qing stretched out his hand tentatively.
Hei Hu immediately trotted forward, rubbed his palm affectionately, and licked the wound on his hand with his rough tongue ingratiatingly.
Hu Qing was surprised to find that the wound that had been licked began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Wow, you have this ability?" Hu Qing rubbed Heihu's head. The latter purred with satisfaction and followed him closely, like a loyal big dog.
Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Gu Yang's forehead and his breathing became heavy.
He looked at Hu Qing and Xiao Zi, each of whom was followed by a docile black tiger, while the one in front of him was becoming more and more cunning and difficult to deal with, and a nameless anger rose in his heart.
"You beast, you've learned your lesson!" Gu Yang cursed with gritted teeth.
The black tiger seemed to understand what he said, and it showed an anthropomorphic mocking expression. It flashed and burrowed into the ground again, leaving only a few wisps of black smoke floating in the air.
It watched its companions die, and now whenever it was injured, it would burrow into the ground to recover, not giving the man in front of it any chance.
Gu Yang clenched his fists, and his knuckles made a crackling sound.
He suddenly closed his eyes, and the blood in his body began to circulate in a special trajectory.
This is the secret technique "Breaking the Air" that he comprehended in the Jindan stage. Even without the support of spiritual power, he can exert 70% of its power with physical strength alone.
"Get out... right here!" Gu Yang suddenly opened his eyes, and his right fist slammed into the ground with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
"boom!"
A deep pit about ten feet wide exploded in the dark ground, and the black tiger lurking in the soil was shocked and flew into the air.
