Chapter 387 Evil Forces
"What method?"
“Avoid their sharp edge and buy time,” Silver Tiger said. “Didn’t you say that evil power would corrupt the user’s soul? Then we’ll wait for it to collapse on its own.”
Yueqing shook her head: "It's too late, and we can't pin our hopes on that possibility."
Just then, there was another knock on the door.
"Come in," Yueqing said.
Hu Xiao walked in, his face beaming with excitement: "I've got an idea!"
"What method?" Silver Tiger asked.
“We can ask other tribes for help!” Tiger Roar sat down. “The Wolf Clan, the Leopard Clan, and the Bear Clan—they all don’t want to see evil forces spread across this continent.”
Yueqing considered it for a moment: "This is a good idea, but the timeframe is too tight. Can we contact these tribes within three days?"
“I can give it a try.” Tiger Roar patted his chest. “The Tiger Clan and other tribes have ways to communicate. Although we don’t usually keep in touch, we should be able to unite at this crucial moment.”
Silver Tiger nodded: "That is indeed a solution, but we cannot rely entirely on external aid."
“Of course, we also need to be prepared ourselves,” Hu Xiao said. “By the way, Yueqing, can you summon that saber-toothed tiger again?”
Yueqing was taken aback: "Sabertooth tiger? It should still be recovering from its injuries."
"If it can join the battle, our chances of winning will be much greater." Tiger Roar's eyes gleamed with hope. "That's a prehistoric behemoth, its combat power is definitely not weak."
Yueqing closed her eyes, trying to sense the saber-toothed tiger's location. After a moment, she opened her eyes: "It's in the valley to the north. Its injuries have healed a lot, but it hasn't fully recovered yet."
"Then let's go find it!" Tiger Roar immediately stood up.
"Now?" Yin Hu frowned. "It's too dangerous, and Yueqing needs to rest."
"I'm fine." Yueqing also stood up. "Huxiao is right, the saber-toothed tiger's fighting ability can indeed help us. Besides, I also want to check on its condition."
The three packed quickly and quietly left the cave-dwelling tribe's city. Shiya wanted to send warriors to escort them, but Yueqing refused. This operation required secrecy; too many people would be detrimental.
Under the cover of night, the three headed towards the northern valley. Along the way, Yueqing kept thinking about a strategy to deal with Elder Xue.
"Yueqing, do you think that system can still help us?" Hu Xiao suddenly asked.
Yueqing was taken aback, not expecting him to bring this up: "Why do you ask that?"
"Didn't you use some special power when you were dealing with the ancient god?" Hu Xiao asked curiously. "That golden light was very powerful."
Yin Hu also looked at Yue Qing, clearly curious about the matter as well.
Yueqing hesitated for a moment before deciding to be partially honest: "It is indeed a special power, but it consumes a lot of energy and cannot be used frequently."
[Host, it is not recommended to expose too much system information.]
"I know," Yueqing replied in her heart.
Hu Xiao nodded: "Then we still have to rely on our own strength."
After walking for about two hours, the three arrived at a dense forest. Yueqing stopped and closed her eyes to sense her surroundings.
“It’s just ahead,” she pointed deeper into the forest, “but…”
"But what?" Silver Tiger asked.
"The saber-toothed tiger's aura is strange; it seems to be fighting something." Yueqing frowned. "Let's go take a look."
The three quickened their pace, passing through the forest and arriving at a desolate valley. In the moonlight, they witnessed a shocking scene.
A giant saber-toothed tiger is fighting a group of black creatures. These creatures are similar to the tentacle monsters encountered earlier, but even more ferocious.
"Damn it, the evil forces have found this place," Silver Tiger gritted his teeth.
Although the saber-toothed tiger was enormous, it struggled against a large number of enemies. It already had several wounds, and blood stained its silvery-white fur.
"We have to help it." Yueqing rushed out without hesitation.
Silver Tiger and Tiger Roar followed closely behind, and the three of them joined the battle.
With its helper, the saber-toothed tiger felt much less pressure. It let out a deafening roar, and its massive claws swept across, instantly tearing several black creatures to shreds.
Yueqing activated the power of the Source of Life, and green light condensed in her hands, transforming into energy attacks. Although her power had not fully recovered, it was enough to deal with these small monsters.
Silver Tiger and Roar Tiger worked together seamlessly, one attacking from the front and the other flanking from the side, quickly eliminating the remaining enemies.
After the battle, the saber-toothed tiger walked up to Yueqing and gently nuzzled her shoulder with its massive head in gratitude.
"How are you?" Yueqing examined its wounds. "Are you badly injured?"
The saber-toothed tiger shook its head, indicating that it was alright. But Yueqing could tell that it was indeed not in good condition.
"Where did these black creatures come from?" Hu Xiao asked in confusion.
Yueqing observed the wreckage on the battlefield: "It must have been sent by Elder Xue. Their purpose is probably to control the saber-toothed tiger."
"How did he know Saber-toothed Tiger was here?" Silver Tiger frowned.
“Evil forces have their own way of perceiving things,” Yueqing explained. “Powerful creatures are the best targets for them.”
The saber-toothed tiger suddenly growled, its eyes flashing with anger. Clearly, it was very displeased with these intruders.
Yueqing reached out and stroked its fur: "Do you want revenge?"
The saber-toothed tiger nodded, its eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
“Then come with us.” Yueqing smiled. “Three days later, we will be fighting a very strong enemy.”
Without hesitation, the saber-toothed tiger lay down, gesturing for Yueqing to mount it.
"It seems it has agreed," Tiger Roar said happily. "With this big guy, our chances of winning have increased significantly."
The four comrades rode saber-toothed tigers back to the cave dweller's city. Along the way, Yueqing kept thinking about their next plan.
The addition of the saber-toothed tiger certainly strengthens their fighting force. However, Elder Xue must have her own trump cards to back up this challenge. This battle remains unpredictable.
However, at least now they have a glimmer of hope.
By the time we returned to the cave dweller city, it was already dawn.
The saber-toothed tiger's massive body caused a stir among the guards, who only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the three people riding on its back.
Stone Tooth was waiting at the city gate early on. When he saw the saber-toothed tiger, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Is this the legendary prehistoric behemoth?"
"Its name is Xiaobai."
Yueqing jumped off the saber-toothed tiger's back and casually gave it a name.
The saber-toothed tiger glanced back at her, its eyes filled with speechlessness.
Little White? This prehistoric overlord is called Little White?
Silver Tiger couldn't help but laugh: "Are you sure this name is suitable?"
"What's inappropriate about it?"
Le Qing said confidently, "Its fur color makes the name 'Little White' very fitting."
The saber-toothed tiger shook its head helplessly. Oh well, it's just a name anyway.
