About five minutes later, Zhang Mu stretched and stood up. This was the first time Zhang Mu used this potion. It must be said that the effect of this level of recovery potion was really worthy of its rare quantity and expensive price.

"Honestly, you get what you pay for. Next time you see No. 35, give it a five-star rating."

But when he heard the scratching sound coming from outside, Zhang Mu suddenly felt annoyed. His cheerful expression suddenly turned cold. "Isn't it annoying? You keep scratching all day long."

However, at this moment, Zhang Mu suddenly thought of a way to easily deal with the ten mutant tigers outside without any effort. He immediately became excited and said to the mutant tigers outside, "Since you want to come in so much, then let you in."

Zhang Mu walked around the cage himself and roughly understood where the mutant tigers were. He finally chose the southeast direction. There was only one mutant tiger lying on it and scratching non-stop. It was probably because the fire energy in its body had been exhausted. The vines in this direction had not been attacked by flames for a minute.

The mutant tiger's claws were just like tickling it. After all, the flames could burn off a layer at once, but if it used its claws, it might not even be able to scratch off half of the layer after a few swings, which was enough to show the toughness of the blood vine lotus vine.

But at this moment, the vines at this position of the Blood Lotus cage were suddenly removed. The mutant tiger thought it had scratched them open by itself. It was a little tired from scratching just now, but it suddenly regained strength. It stretched its claws directly in, pushed the inside and squeezed its head. Then, one claw and one head entered the cage.

Originally it wanted to grab Zhang Mu's body, but suddenly it found that Zhang Mu was not far away from it, looking at it with a smile, and slowly uttered a few words, "Welcome."

Its innate beast instinct made it aware of the danger instantly. It just wanted to stick its head out, but the most horrifying thing happened. The mutant tiger found that it couldn't retreat at all!

The vines that were just empty were blocked again and were slowly shrinking. Now it panicked and tried hard to break free from the cage constructed by the blood vine lotus. The three legs outside kept pushing against the outer wall, but its neck was stuck tightly and it could not move at all.

At this time, the nine mutant tigers in other directions also discovered the abnormality here and all squeezed over, trying to kill the mutant tiger trapped inside.

Pulled it out, and began to attack the outer wall of vines near the mutant tiger at the same time.

Zhang Mu concentrated all their attacks at once. Instantly, the blood lotus vines in this direction began to suffer terribly. At the same time, the vines on the outer wall were torn apart at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming thinner and thinner bit by bit. The replenishment could not keep up with the consumption.

But even so, Zhang Mu had a way to deal with it. He simply mobilized all the vines in other directions except the outermost layer. However, these stupid tigers had no idea that the defenses in other positions were so weak that they could be broken by scratching five or six times, so they still persevered in trying to break through from this side.

In this way, the thickness and recovery ability of the Blood Vine Lotus kept up with the intensity of the damage.

Zhang Mu didn't care about the situation outside. He walked leisurely to the mutant tiger and took a closer look.

Seeing Zhang Mu coming, the mutant tiger no longer had the fear it had just now. Only ferocity dominated its body. It clapped its claws but could not reach Zhang Mu at all. It wanted to open its mouth but its head was controlled by the roots of the blood vine lotus. It struggled for a long time but could not move at all.

After touching the tiger's whiskers for a while, Zhang Mu didn't want to delay any longer and decided to solve the problem as soon as possible. He directly took out the Black Obsidian Claw from his arms, stabbed it into the mutant tiger's temple, and pushed it forward. The mutant tiger didn't even make a roar of pain before Zhang Mu killed it. Its body stopped twisting outside and its eyes slowly became blurred.

After picking out the beast core, Zhang Mu let the Blood Vine Lotus open a hole just big enough for the head to enter and exit. He pushed the mutant tiger out with force, and it fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

But Zhang Mu did not close the hole. Instead, he opened it wider and even opened two identical holes at different locations at the same time.

The mutant tigers, overwhelmed by grief and anger, did not feel the danger at all and fell into the trap carefully set for them by Zhang Mu. In order to save time, Zhang Mu did not make any unnecessary moves and took their lives with two swipes. A mutant tiger that secretly hid fire energy just took advantage of Zhang Mu's unpreparedness and shot him on the head, but was detected by the blood vine lotus roots lurking in its body and gave Zhang Mu a warning a second ago.

Zhang Mu instantly used the blood vine lotus's roots to resist the force of its mouth opening. After delaying for a while, he directly pulled the mutant tiger's head upwards, pushing it onto the inner wall, allowing the fire energy to wreak havoc in the mutant tiger's mouth.

, but it couldn't release it at all. Zhang Mu could even feel the burning heat coming from its jaw.

After Zhang Mu's next stab, the mutant tiger could only exhale but not inhale, and the heat in its mouth slowly cooled down.

Without delay, Zhang Mu pushed them out with force, and used the same trick again to attract two more.

However, when he pushed out the bodies of the two mutant tigers, no mutant tiger dared to approach the cage of the Blood Vine Lotus and they hid far away.

It was truly horrifying. All of their companions had died tragically here. Their originally proud hearts now began to produce the emotion of fear after their madness and ferocity had subsided.

Seeing through the exposed hole that the four mutant tigers outside were about to retreat and call for help, Zhang Mu smiled and directly touched the defensive cage of the Blood Vine Lotus.

He waved in the direction of the mutant tigers and said, "Come on, come on."

But they would not be fooled again. The more relaxed Zhang Mu looked, the more they felt something was wrong. One of them even began to move away, ready to retreat at any time.

"You've become smarter, and you've made progress. However, since you've wasted so much of my crystals, I'll leave your beast cores as compensation for my losses."

Zhang Mu's tone turned cold, and he released all the vines, looking for the four mutant tigers with bared fangs and claws.

On average, five vines could fight against one mutant tiger, and Zhang Mu didn't even need to take action. One minute later, after the last stronger mutant tiger failed in its last stand, the vines of the Blood Vine Lotus returned to Zhang Mu with four beast cores.

Without lingering any longer, he used the Epoch Merchant Ring to collect all the tiger corpses on the ground. These were all treasures and should not be wasted.

"Stupid dog, come out and take me away."

Zhang Mu roared towards the sky. After a few seconds, the mutant wolfhound came running back and looked at the bloodstains on the ground with a very docile look.

He simply climbed onto the wolfhound's back, pulled its mane and ran back towards the gathering place.

Riding on his back, Zhang Mu whispered, "This should be considered a strategic retreat, right? Stupid dog, don't you think so?"

The wolfhound nodded obediently, and it also felt that it should have run away long ago.

Ten minutes after Zhang Mu ran away, a violent and ferocious tiger roar suddenly sounded, spreading across the entire sky where the village was located, and lasted for a long time.
