This is the worst-case scenario!
Beasts devoid of reason, driven only by the instinct to kill, are the most difficult to deal with, because they will fight to the last breath! A fight to the death!
If a beast is rational, it can win as long as it knocks the opponent down and frightens them.
Lin Qian gritted his teeth, turned his gaze, and let out a roar at the strange beast!
"Awooo—!"
The tiger's roar went straight ahead, followed by an invisible needle of spiritual energy!
Lin Qian knew that his physical evolution was not outstanding. Although his body was tempered evenly, making his defense very good, his claws and teeth did not have outstanding offensive power. This was his weakness, and he had to strike first!
The spiritual attack arrived in an instant. Under Lin Qian's tense and expectant attention, the spiritual sense successfully pierced the beast's large head, but it seemed to pierce the air, rushing towards the barrier at the edge of the square and then dissipating.
What? !
What happened?
This beast has no spiritual power?!
Lin Qian was utterly astonished. No, that's not right. This strange beast wasn't a living being at all!
That's why spiritual attacks are ineffective! Damn it!
Lin Qian was extremely shocked and furious, but he had to admit that his best method had failed, and he could only resort to hand-to-hand combat from now on!
These events happened in the blink of an eye. At this moment, the strange beast had already leaped off the base and charged towards Lin Qian!
Lin Qian naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. It flashed its tiger claws, instantly bulged its muscles, and gathered strength in its limbs. Without any intention of dodging, it charged straight toward the attacking beast.
Both charged at incredible speeds, like comets hitting the earth, and the little tiger collided head-on with the beast twice its size!
Crack! A crisp breaking sound rang out.
"Roar!!" The beast roared angrily. Its left arm had been broken, but that did not stop it from continuing its attack.
Lin Qian had already jumped to the back. He shook his numb shoulders, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Is this guy... really that fragile?
He had just prepared for a lose-lose situation!
Unexpectedly, the other person's arm was ruined, while he only had a numb arm from the impact.
Circulating his spiritual energy, his arm instantly returned to normal, and Lin Qian smiled as he watched the strange beast pounce on him again.
The little tiger pounced, slapping the beast's head repeatedly with both paws.
The beast waved one of its front paws in an attempt to fight back, but Lin Qian bit off the paw in one bite.
Bah! Spitting out the hard, lumpy beast claw in his mouth, Lin Qian was certain: this guy was a paper tiger!
This made Lin Qian happy but also speechless. Before the actual hand-to-hand combat, he really didn't expect that this seemingly ferocious beast would be so vulnerable.
Lin Qian fell silent as he stared at the shattered beast head.
This was supposed to be both a barrier and a base, designed to lure him in, and this is what he got in return?
The statue of the mythical beast quickly turned into spiritual energy and disappeared back into the base. Lin Qian walked over curiously, his tiger paws exploring the base that was now covered with moss again. Lin Qian even wanted to break the thing off.
Unfortunately, it couldn't be moved; it was like it was rooted to the ground, incredibly heavy.
With a whoosh, the surrounding mist dissipated, and Lin Qian noticed the building that was faintly visible.
The little tiger lay half-lying on the base, looking at the ancient temple that had revealed its true form with curiosity.
Given the fragility of the gatekeeper monster, Lin Qian wasn't as worried, but he wouldn't let his guard down. The little tiger walked gracefully, its steps light as it approached the dilapidated temple behind it.
"Creak—"
The heavy door was slowly pushed open by the tiger's paw, making a piercing sound.
Lin Qian really didn't expect that this thing would have to be opened manually. Shouldn't this door be an "automatic door" under normal circumstances?!
Sigh, you really can't trust novels!
Lin Qian muttered to himself, but kept walking. There was a large hole in the roof of the temple, so even without lighting, everything was clearly visible.
Lin Qian stared silently at the empty hall with only a stone platform. Hmm?
What about the reward? Isn't there usually a reward for passing this level? The little tiger stared at the dusty stone platform for a long time, but nothing happened.
After a long while, Lin Qian searched the entire room himself, even looking through the wooden beams overgrown with mushrooms and the walls with holes, but there was nothing there!
Where's the thrill? Where's the attraction?! Are you messing with me?!
Lin Qian was speechless.
The last time he was this speechless was the time before.
Meanwhile, the chipmunks were as happy as little mice that had fallen into a rice jar.
The little guy was happily digging in what appeared to be a planting area; yes, its little paws were finally back to their old ways.
However, this time the little guy wasn't digging a hole, but simply digging in the soil, turning over something.
The chipmunk held its fluffy tail high, half of its body plunging into the newly dug pit, with small clods of soil constantly being thrown up.
Suddenly, its fluffy long tail began to shake rapidly.
The fluffy little body struggled to dig something out of the ditch. With the chipmunk's continuous efforts, "bang!" the chipmunk fell backward and let out an excited and happy cry.
The little guy was holding a white plant in his arms, which looked like a root or a seed, but the rich spiritual energy indicated that it was a good thing.
Once it got the item, the chipmunk immediately put it into its spatial storage. It wasn't that it didn't know how to use its spatial abilities, but rather that the item couldn't be retrieved while it was in the ground.
The chipmunk didn't know why, but since it couldn't collect it, it dug it out. The little guy was very confident in its claws!
