Roar! Roar!
The thunderous roar of a tiger reverberated in the sky above the forest.
All the small animals within a one-kilometer radius fled in panic, afraid of angering the tyrant of the mountain.
However, what they didn't know was that the tyrant, who used to run wild in the forest, was now in a sorry state.
A spiritual beast like the white-eyed spirit tiger was used to attacking their enemies with their fangs and claws. This was also the most powerful weapon they had on them. It was not inferior to a Hundred Refinement weapon.
In the past, the tiger had encountered human cultivators who cultivated Physical Enhancement-type martial techniques. It could withstand attacks, but its claws could still injure those people.
However, the person in front of him was even harder than black iron!
No matter how it bit and swung its claws, it couldn't break through the dark golden light on the human's body!
After fighting for a while, the tiger even felt its sharp teeth and claws begin to ache.
The man and tiger fought for only a short while, but the tiger was already covered in wounds. There were many burning wounds that spurted blood as the tiger roared in pain.
On the other hand, Lin Shen was still unharmed and calm.
With the Forbidden Golden Armor, Lin Shen was already invincible in this battle.
Before his spiritual essence was exhausted, the tiger could forget about injuring him!
Without having to worry about defense, Lin Shen attacked in an incomparably fierce way.
He used Blazing Sun Palm and Meltdown interchangeably.
Occasionally, he would use Dragon Roar Through the Clouds, making the tiger suffer indescribably. It couldn't raise its head at all.
It wanted to escape, but every time it made a move, Lin Shen would stop it.
The speed of Shadows at the Perfection stage made Lin Shen move as fast as the tiger.
The tiger felt extremely aggrieved facing an enemy that it could neither defeat nor escape from!
After seven to eight minutes of bitter fighting, the tiger finally couldn't hold on anymore. With a sad cry, it was slapped in the head. The blazing spiritual essence that penetrated its body instantly destroyed all its vitality!
Thump!
The heavy body of the tiger fell to the ground, stirring up dust.
Lin Shen slowly put down his palm and heaved a sigh of relief.
Strictly speaking, this was his first real battle after advancing to the Long Breath Stage.
The guided battles were just sparring. The spiritual beasts he had encountered before were too weak, so he couldn't use his full strength.
Only the battle with the tiger was his first life-and-death battle.
This also gave Lin Shen a clearer understanding of his own strength level.
Although he was only at the second level of the Long Breath Stage, with his many powerful martial techniques, Lin Shen wasn't afraid at all even if he faced a third-level Long Breath Stage cultivator.
If he were to add on talents like Superior Martial Arts or pure Yang Body, Lin Shen was even confident that he could defeat opponents at the fourth or fifth level of the Long Breath Stage.
After all, a buff that increased the power of martial arts techniques by 50% was incredible!
The only thing that disappointed Lin Shen was that the talent effect of Testify by Killing hadn't been triggered.
Shaking his head, Lin Shen put the corpse of the tiger into his storage jade plate. He planned to cut open the corpse and take out the tiger's spine when he returned.
"I'll get a minor merit for this!"
Lin Shen clapped his hands in satisfaction.
After entering the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range for half a day, he had already obtained a minor merit and 500 to 600 merit points. It was a huge harvest.
This time, he had brought enough food for him to stay in the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range for half a month.
When he returned after the training, he might be able to exchange for the Three Yang Talisman Sword or the Essence Sword Finger!
After Ai came out again, she looked at Lin Shen in confusion.
"Lin Shen, what happened?"
Lin Shen had put her into the Beast Taming Pouch so quickly that Ai didn't see what had happened.
"It's just a spiritual beast. I've taken care of it."
Hearing that the spiritual beast had been dealt with, Ai was relieved and didn't ask further. She quietly lay on Lin Shen's shoulder.
Lin Shen continued to search. After walking for a distance, he quickly discovered a string of small footprints on the ground. From the shape and size, it should be Cunning Hare, so he followed the footprints and searched.
However, he had never especially learned tracking in the wilderness.
He wasn't like Bright Aperture cultivators who could rely on spiritual responses to search for things. Therefore, it didn't take long for him to lose track.
Lin Shen had no choice but to ask Ai,
"Did you sense any natural spiritual essence?"
Ai focused for a while and shook her head in frustration.
Helpless, Lin Shen could only use a tedious method. Using the location of the last footprint as the starting point, he searched in three other directions.
Although this method was time-consuming, it was the most likely method to find the Cunning Hare's nest.
By the time the sky turned yellow, Lin Shen had already explored two of the directions. Unfortunately, he found nothing.
"There's only one direction left!"
Lin Shen glanced at Ai, who immediately gave him a look that said, "Leave it to me."
After all, this wasn't only about Lin Shen, but also about her canned cat food!
Ten minutes later, Ai suddenly called out.
"I sense it!"
She pointed to the left.
"It's over there!"
Lin Shen perked up and immediately ran in the direction Ai pointed.
Unexpectedly, after running for 400 to 500 meters in the mountains, Ai still didn't let Lin Shen stop. She only said that the natural spiritual essence was getting clearer and denser.
Lin Shen wasn't shocked but delighted.
The richer the spiritual essence, the more precious the source of the spiritual essence was!
Finally, the man and cat stopped running.
Lin Shen looked over and saw a mountain wall covered in vines..
