Facing the wrath of the king of beasts, Lin Jichen showed no mercy.
He raised his hand and unleashed a "Frost Moon Slash" directly at the face of the Silver Moon Tiger.
[Critical Hit! -4675! Slowed! Frozen!]
[Slow Status: Reduces target's speed by 30%, lasts for 10 seconds.]
[Frozen Status: Freezes target for 3 seconds!]
The terrifying damage even surprised Lin Jichen.
After breaking through to the Crystal Realm, his attributes had significantly improved.
Previously, he could slash thousands of health points from the Hell Boar God; a mere beast king was even less of a challenge.
The Silver Moon Tiger was frozen on the spot, its body covered in ice, emitting wisps of white frost.
Lin Jichen waited for the freeze to end, then followed up with Dizzying Sword Qi!
A guaranteed combo, delightful!
[Critical Hit! -4895! Dizzy!]
[Dizzy Status: Causes a 3-second stun, attacks will not interrupt it.]
Lin Jichen smiled slightly, stepped forward with his sword, and swung it like rain!
He only aimed for the Silver Moon Tiger's head.
[Critical Hit! -2915!]
[Critical Hit! -2915!]
[Critical Hit! -2915!]
With the damage from the Dizzying Sword Qi, in just three seconds, half of the Silver Moon Tiger's health bar was gone!
When it awoke from the stun, the Silver Moon Tiger's eyes were filled with dread.
To this human cultivator before it, it was nothing short of a monster.
Never had it seen a Crystal Realm cultivator with such means, rendering it completely powerless.
Suddenly, another tiger's roar came from the nearby forest.
Another Thunder-striped Silver Moon Tiger appeared.
This one was smaller in size, but its belly was swollen, clearly pregnant.
This Silver Moon Tiger seemed to be the tiger king's mate, originally waiting nearby for its husband to catch prey for a feast.
Unexpectedly, the husband encountered a monster, and in a moment of panic, the wife also came out to help, the couple joining forces against the enemy.
Panda Xiong immediately rushed over to support, targeting the tigress, ready to kill its wife out of spite.
Fortunately, Lin Jichen quickly stopped him.
"Don't you dare! If you touch her, I'll beat you up!" Lin Jichen warned.
Panda Xiong looked aggrieved and confused.
Lin Jichen sheathed his Dark Night Sword and said to the two tigers, "You can go now, I won't kill you."
The Silver Moon Tiger couple looked at Lin Jichen, then at each other, somewhat bewildered.
This human wasn't going to kill them? Was he afraid to face them both?
But since Lin Jichen wasn't attacking, they seized the opportunity to escape.
Two figures turned and disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Lin Jichen immediately put Panda Xiong back into his space and then followed them!
Just kidding, these two Silver Moon Tigers were treasures!
No way he could harm them.
Lin Jichen trailed them through the dense forest.
The sky had completely darkened.
But Lin Jichen refused to give up.
Finally, he tracked them to their lair.
The two tigers, having narrowly escaped death, had no idea a "stalker Lin" was following them all the way.
The tiger king licked its wife in self-reproach; this trip had not only failed to catch prey but had almost cost its life.
The tigress gently nuzzled the tiger king, comforting it and tending to its wounds.
But its round belly occasionally growled with hunger.
Clearly, the tigress needed to eat, or the cubs inside would suffer.
But they were in no condition to hunt now.
The tiger king was severely injured, and the tigress was pregnant and about to give birth.
The couple fell into a state of despair.
At this moment, a rich aroma of meat wafted in from outside the cave.
The tiger king cautiously walked out, only to find a large chunk of meat outside!
This meat was unlike any it had seen, with an aura of an exotic beast, instilling a sense of reverence.
But hunger made it lower its guard. After carefully inspecting the surroundings and finding no danger, it carried the meat back to the lair to share with its wife.
The meat of the exotic beast quickly nourished their bodies, even accelerating the tiger king's recovery.
Lin Jichen had already left the tiger king's lair, flying out of the Beast Forest on his sword.
He was all smiles, full of anticipation.
Of course, he had thrown the meat at the tiger king's doorstep.
He couldn't bear to let the tiger couple starve.
It wouldn't be good if they were malnourished, so he threw them some Kai Ming Beast meat as an early investment.
And firmly remembered the location of the Tiger King's den, just waiting for the Tiger Mother to give birth, it would be his harvest time.
These two Golden Core Realm exotic beast cubs are very rare.
He was prepared to see how many cubs the Tiger Mother would give birth to. If there were few, he would keep them for himself or give them to Ren Lan and Jiang Luoyu.
If there were many, he could even keep them to open a pet store, making them the treasure of the store. No matter how you calculate it, it would be a profitable venture!
Afraid that the Tiger Mother might lack nutrients due to lack of food, Lin Jichen then spent a lot of money to throw some exotic beast meat, considering it as an early investment.
Leaving the Beast Forest temporarily, Lin Jichen took advantage of the night to fly directly to the Sword Pavilion to complete the second task Leng Feiyan had given him.
The Sword Pavilion was located in the far east of Mu Xian Province, a long distance away, estimated to take more than three days to reach.
Lin Jichen couldn't fly on his sword continuously; the mana consumption was too great. He had to alternate between flying and running on foot, waiting for his mana to recover before flying again.
Most of the players trying to capture Lin Jichen had given up.
Not because they wanted to, but because they had to.
Every day, when the system publicly announced Lin Jichen's location, everyone was baffled, having no idea where it was.
Even with a map, it was useless because Lin Jichen was tens of thousands of miles away from them.
Moreover, he specifically flew to places without teleportation arrays, making everyone lose hope.
If you wanted to chase him, it depended on whether you could outfly Lin Jichen.
Initially failing to catch him with the forbidden flight skill, trying to catch him again was as hard as climbing the sky.
Most players chose to give up, but a few persisted, tracking the system's reported location daily, relentlessly pursuing him.
They believed Lin Jichen would stop eventually, and once they caught up and used the forbidden flight skill, Lin Jichen would have no escape.
Their persistence was commendable.
After two more days of flying, Lin Jichen was very close to the Sword Pavilion.
But he didn't rush forward; instead, he took out a map of Mu Xian Province, comparing positions and routes, seemingly looking for a specific location.
After flying over several mountains, Lin Jichen finally confirmed his position.
"This should be the place."
Just as Lin Jichen was about to search, he received a friend request, the ID was "Tang Tang Niu."
Seeing the ID, Lin Jichen smiled, knowing it was Niu Naitang's game name.
Niu Naitang had told him before.
After accepting, he heard Niu Naitang's cheerful voice message.
"Brother Lin, Tang Tang won a hundred games against the curator, and he took Tang Tang to a mountain with many houses. An old man who is very good at chess said he wants to take me as his disciple."
Lin Jichen was delighted, confirming that Niu Naitang had indeed joined the Chess Sect and become a chess cultivator.
