The beast that intended to launch a sneak attack was thwarted.
The little turtle nimbly rushed forward and bit the wild beast.
Seeing the beast in pain, Jiang An quickly turned to the side to avoid a direct confrontation.
Instead, taking advantage of the little turtle holding back the beast, it turned sideways and quickly slashed at the other side.
At this moment, Jiang An also recognized what the beast that attacked her was—it was a huge tiger!
It was at least twice the size of the one she had seen in her previous life.
Its eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty light, it was extremely fierce, and it opened its blood-red maw and fiercely attacked Jiang An.
Without hesitation, Jiang An swung his water-splitting blade and slashed fiercely at the tiger.
With a "whoosh," a deep gash appeared on the tiger's body, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
Meanwhile, the little turtle held tightly to the tiger's tail, causing the tiger great pain.
This was the first time Jiang An had encountered such a formidable beast, and his heart tightened.
But she did not back down; instead, she became even more determined to defeat it.
The stimulation of the blood made the tiger even more ferocious, and it let out deafening roars.
However, Jiang An was not intimidated by the tiger's imposing presence. She gripped the water-cutting knife tightly, remaining vigilant at all times.
Realizing he couldn't shake off the little turtle's clutches, the tiger decided to cut off his arm to save his life.
It swung it forcefully, throwing the little turtle away, and then pounced on Jiang An with a fierce glint in its eyes, revealing its terrifying teeth.
The tiger's craving for food and the thrill of blood made it forget its fear of its enemies.
In an instant, Jiang An was facing off against the tiger.
The water-splitting blade in her hand gleamed coldly, ready for this life-or-death struggle.
Jiang An took a deep breath, her eyes filled with unwavering determination.
She knew this battle was a matter of life and death. She gripped her water-splitting blade and engaged the tiger in a desperate struggle.
Jiang An wielded the Water-Severing Blade incessantly, fully demonstrating the advanced swordsmanship skills he had practiced diligently over the years.
Each strike was incredibly precise, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, aimed directly at the tiger's vital points.
At the same time, the little turtle pounced on the tiger again, using its claws and mouth to inflict more damage.
With the tacit cooperation between Jiang An and Little Turtle, the tiger gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
Its body was covered in wounds, and blood stained the ground.
But the tiger refused to give up and continued to struggle desperately, trying to find an opportunity to fight back.
Jiang An seized an opening in the tiger's defenses and pierced its neck with a single stroke of his Water-Cutting Blade.
With a single swift motion, blood gushed out, splattering across the ground and forming patches of crimson.
The tiger let out a deep roar, its body trembling violently, before crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
"Stop, little turtle, don't go any closer!" Jiang An shouted loudly, his voice tinged with anxiety.
She knew all too well that the last-ditch effort of large predators like tigers was extremely dangerous; even if they were severely wounded, they could still launch a fatal attack at the last moment.
The little turtle was startled by Jiang An's sudden roar. It stopped in its tracks, which was about to rush forward, and stood there frozen in place.
"Yes, little turtle, like that, back up!" Seeing that the little turtle had stopped, Jiang An's tone softened slightly, and he continued to direct it to back up.
At this moment, blood was still flowing from the tiger's neck, but the flow rate had gradually slowed down.
Jiang An knew that if he waited patiently for a while longer, he could completely subdue this ferocious tiger.
Rather than risk injuring yourself and your little turtle, it's better to choose a safe way to reap the rewards of victory.
After this harrowing battle, Jiang An gained a profound understanding of the dangers posed by the island.
This place is home not only to ferocious beasts, but also to animals with a strong aggressive and bloodthirsty nature.
Without the little turtle's help, today's battle would have been extremely difficult, and might even have been life-threatening.
It's still uncertain who will win!
Time passes by every second.
The tiger also died completely.
[Ding! Tiger carcass found. Decompose it?]
As if to confirm Jiang An's guess, the game's notification sound rang out at just the right moment.
"yes!"
[Ding! Decomposition successful! Total harvest: 4 Mutant Tiger Pelts.]
Looking at the dissected items, Jiang An's face immediately lit up with a smile. She hadn't expected that such a large tiger would yield only a few tiger skins, even though they were mutated tiger skins.
etc!
She stared wide-eyed at the four tiger skins in her hand.
These tiger skins were different from those previously obtained from disassembly; they were exceptionally sturdy.
Jiang An used the knife in her hand to lightly scratch the edge of the tiger skin. As she expected, there was not a single scratch where the water-cutting knife passed.
It should be noted that this excellent-grade water-cutting knife is one of the sharpest weapons in her hands, capable of cutting hair in an instant.
But this mutated tiger skin has not a single scratch. What does that mean?
Could it be that these tiger skins have become so tough that they can withstand the attack of the water-cutting blade?
This idea gave Jiang An a jolt. If it were true, the value of these tiger skins would be immeasurable.
She decided to study these tiger skins carefully to see what potential they really had.
So she put away the tiger skins, intending to take them back for careful study.
This made her think that if she had used this tiger skin when making the armor, its defensive power would have been at least doubled.
So she carefully put the mutated tiger skin into her backpack.
Then, her gaze shifted to the direction where the tiger had died.
Sure enough, there lay a treasure chest—a bronze chest—that shimmered with dazzling light.
Clearly, bronze chests are a higher-level treasure chest compared to iron chests.
However, Jiang An had no time to check the items inside, as the strong, pungent smell of blood permeated the surroundings, and it might attract other ferocious beasts at any time.
Without hesitation, she put the copper box into her backpack.
"Let's go, little turtle, we need to get out of here quickly!" After completing the battlefield cleanup, Jiang An urgently called to the little turtle to leave this dangerous place together.
The man and the turtle began their journey deeper into the island.
