Chapter 1081: Where You Fall, There You Lie
Zi Yuan was terrified out of her mind. She should never have listened to Jiangnan's crazy talk!
Wasn't it nice to just lie in bed, hugging a pillow and dreaming?
Why did she have to come here to catch spies, meow? Wuwu~
Did she really look that much like a Grand Commander?
Right now, the Flame Dragon Beast Group was frantically chasing Zi Yuan! And the Phantom Beast Group was hot on the tails of the Flame Dragon Group, beating them down!
Mixed into the scene was the pitiful wailing of the Purple Tiger, making the whole place an utter chaos!
And Jiangnan, completely immersed in the thrill of collecting spirit beads, hadn't even noticed Zi Yuan being chased!
In the sky, the white-hot cloud clusters had been dyed blood-red!
"Roar wa!"
With a explosive roar, the polar day cloud sea violently dispersed. Fatty Orange had just torn a Flame Sky Dragon in half!
Blood rained down like a shower!
In that short span of time, nearly half of the Flame Sky Dragons in the sky had been killed!
The rest seized the opportunity to flee beyond the cloud sea, not even looking back!
With their leader captured and killed, what was the point of fighting anymore?
Seeing that the bombers had retreated, the Flame Dragon Beast Group below knew that fierce tiger lady would be back any moment!
Why keep fighting and courting death?
One by one, they stopped chasing Zi Yuan and silently retreated!
"Dammit! This barbecue turned into a funeral for big brother! My good big bro!"
Seeing the Flame Dragon Beast Group retreat, Fatty Orange didn't pursue further. After all, the commotion was far from small!
If it attracted the attention of human powerhouses, that would be bad!
Having killed the Flame Dragon leader and vented a ton of pent-up anger, Fatty Orange was exceptionally excited.
She flew down beside Jiangnan, nuzzling his cheek affectionately.
ʕ‧̣̥̇˃᷄ᗜ˂᷅ʔ(Ф◡Ф๐)ଓ
"I misjudged you. Thank goodness you were here, right?"
Jiangnan smirked proudly: "Well, look at me. Who am I? The big boss of the Void Sea, that's who!"
"Even that Yaku Dragon wouldn't dare act all high and mighty in front of me!"
Seeing this, the Phantom Beast Group erupted in cheers.
Maybe they had doubts about the big boss tiger's abilities before, but now he had won the recognition of every beast!
Fatty Orange's eyes were shy: "We wasted a bit of time. Let's continue!"
With that, she stuck out her tongue and gave Jiang Meng Hu's face a big, wet lick.
Jiangnan felt like the barbs on her tongue had nearly scraped off his skin!
He broke out in a cold sweat. "Ahem, actually, you've got it wrong!"
"Just now, didn't your tiger roar also have the power to make all beasts prostrate themselves? It's all thanks to that magical big apple!"
Fatty Orange's eyes lit up: "Really? No wonder my tiger roar suddenly became so powerful!"
"Do you have any more of those magical big apples?"
Jiangnan's eyes darted around: "That... that was a spirit fruit native to the Void Sea. I only brought that one!"
Fatty Orange's expression turned resolute. It seemed she needed to make a trip to the Void Sea after all.
He even shared such a precious treasure with me? Fatty Orange's favorability of Jiangnan skyrocketed!
Meanwhile, the Purple Tiger came running over, tears streaming, with a claw wound on its shoulder bleeding profusely.
ʕ☍﹏⁰メʔ
"Look at you! All you care about is collecting spirit beads. You didn't even protect me!"
Jiangnan was stunned. With teleportation, you still got scratched? Could you be any more useless?
"Don't cry, it's just a small wound. Healed in no time!"
With that, he casually pulled out a small ginseng and tossed it into Zi Yuan's mouth.
The wound healed instantly, and two streams of nose blood shot out of her nostrils.
But the next second, Jiang Meng Hu's movements froze, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
He felt two gazes, sharp as daggers, boring into his back from behind.
He turned his head mechanically.
There was Fatty Orange, eyes blazing with fire, staring at Jiangnan, her tiger teeth grinding until sparks flew.
(ꐦ͡’益͡’｡)
That small ginseng—she had been fed it too, and it also made her nose bleed!
And it was that disgusting human who had tried to poke her with a cotton swab!
So Handsome Tiger also had this ginseng?
Jiang Meng Hu: "Ahem, the Void Sea is full of heavenly treasures and earthly rarities. This kind of precious ginseng is everywhere!"
"A while ago, some despicable human entered the Void Sea and dug up a bunch! Ah ha~ ah haha~"
Fatty Orange: !!!
"You're lying! That despicable human is you, isn't it?"
"Jiang! Nan! I'll bite you to death!"
The two tigers locked eyes, both wide-eyed, as if they had rehearsed it.
They roared at the same time!
(ꐦᵒ̌口ᵒ̌) ~ Roar ~ ʕ˃᷄口˂᷅ꐦʔ
"Roar wa!" ×2
Fatty Orange fell to her knees, while Jiang Meng Hu prostrated himself completely!
But even in prostration, it couldn't stop Jiangnan's teleportation!
With a whoosh, his figure flickered through the air, reaching tens of thousands of meters away in an instant!
The polar day cloud sea didn't even have time to envelop him!
Fatty Orange was furious: "Don't run! Get back here!"
With that, she spread her wings and charged after Jiangnan, her heart seething with rage!
So this Handsome Tiger was actually Jiangnan in disguise? How did he find out I was a spy, meow?
He traveled thousands of miles to infiltrate the Day Cloud Tiger group?
She had exposed everything!
And she wanted to have cubs with him? They even entered that cave!
"Pervert! Go die!"
Zi Yuan was stunned. Jiangnan was exposed? What was happening?
Meanwhile, the spirit beasts of the Phantom Beast Group didn't know what was going on, but their big sister was chasing that big boss tiger.
Clearly, both of them were bad tigers!
So they surrounded Zi Yuan.
Zi Yuan was so scared she burst into tears.
˚‧º·ʕ˚˃̣̣̥᷄口˂̣̣̥᷅ʔ‧º·˚
"Don't just run off on your own! Take me with you!"
"One tiger can't run fast! Two tigers running together is the way to go!"
By now, Jiangnan had already sprinted over fifty thousand meters. Suddenly his eyes widened.
He seemed to have forgotten something, right?
"Dammit! Spatial Displacement!"
As a precaution, way back when he was stealing the peaches under the tiger's belly, he had already left a spatial mark on her!
Zi Yuan felt a blur before her eyes and was instantly displaced fifty thousand meters away!
Seeing Fatty Orange charging at her with murderous intent, she screamed her head off and frantically teleported into the distance!
But Jiangnan himself was displaced into the middle of the beast pack!
The group of beasts was dumbfounded. What just happened? Where did the lipstick-print tiger go? And why did the big boss tiger appear here?
Fatty Orange exploded. How did he get back?
She braked hard and turned around to charge at Jiangnan again!
But Jiangnan just grinned.
ʕ๑¯ิٹ¯ิʔﾉ "Old pals, see you in the underworld!"
"Marked Teleport!"
With that, his body vanished again, appearing right under Zi Yuan's belly!
He reverted to human form, casually threw on a pair of shorts, covered himself in Glazed Armor, and then sat down firmly on the back of the Purple Tiger!
Zi Yuan was crying her eyes out.
ﾚ(꒦ິ口꒦ີ｡)ﾍ "I told you, two tigers run faster! At least you still have a conscience!"
Fatty Orange's eyes went wide!
How did he get back again? Playing with me, meow?
"Ah yaya! I'm so mad!"
She turned around again and went after Jiangnan!
She absolutely could not let him leave alive. Otherwise, she and these hundreds of beasts would surely face devastating retaliation from humans!
Jiangnan! How despicable!
Today, I have to bite you to death!
Fatty Orange was a Dao Heaven-tier spirit beast with astonishing speed, and with wings aiding her, the distance between them shrank rapidly!
Zi Yuan panicked: "What do we do? We can't escape! Should I transform back?"
Jiangnan tilted his head back and downed a bottle of fake liquor: "Transform into what? Do you even have an external asset?"
"Head toward the place with the green vines!"
It seemed he'd have to pull out some special tricks to get away today!
Sitting on Zi Yuan's back, Jiangnan slipped a pair of Extreme-Speed Slippers onto his feet.
Then he gulped down a horse biscuit!
Full throttle! Everything was a full-power strike!
With that, Jiangnan leaped off Zi Yuan's back, shot out Void Chains, and wrapped them around her.
Blood Incineration! Seven Gates! Open!
With a stack of buffs, the moment Jiangnan hit the ground, he started running!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With the speed boost from the slippers, Jiangnan broke the sound barrier repeatedly. And with the horse biscuit's full sprint effect,
His legs churned so fast they became a blur!
Were they legs?
Not at all!
They were basically a 36-cylinder engine with ten thousand horsepower!
Combine that with teleportation, and his speed was absolutely insane!
The distance instantly widened. Zi Yuan's four legs were pumping like crazy, but she couldn't keep up with Jiangnan's speed at all!
She was dragged along the ground, sliding helplessly.
٩(‖ʘ̆口ʘ̥̆)۶〰〰〰ጿ
"Aiya yaiya! It hurts! My skin is peeling! Don't let my belly hit the ground!"
At this moment, Zi Yuan was crying like a waterfall, yelping in pain!
Fatty Orange looked on, horrified!
Going that fast? No joke?
Running, huh? I'll show you running!
"Roar wa!"
Another tiger roar echoed out, and Jiangnan, mid-run, instantly fell flat on his face!
The immense inertia sent him plowing a trench hundreds of meters long in the dirt with his head!
But he didn't stop. Under the control of the slippers, his legs still churned like propellers, digging into the dirt and providing thrust!
It was like a rotary tiller opening up a field, and he got a mouthful of dirt!
Zi Yuan, meanwhile, flipped over and also fell flat, grinding her belly!
Jiangnan's face turned black as coal.
So this was the self-inflicted karma that cannot be undone, huh?
If only he hadn't given Fatty Orange that biscuit. Now look—it was all coming back to bite him!
With a determined glare, he said: "Fine! I'll just lie here! Where you fall, there you lie!"
With that, Jiangnan yanked hard, pulling the Purple Tiger off the ground and onto his back, securing her with Void Chains.
Then he slipped another pair of Extreme-Speed Slippers onto his hands and started digging the dirt with his arms like a giant windmill!
His speed shot up even more!
This way, even while prostrate, his hands and feet could still provide ample propulsion!
The only problem was, the pose looked a bit weird!
Fatty Orange, hot on his heels, was completely dumbfounded. What kind of bizarre escape posture was this?
You're so small, and yet you're carrying a giant lipstick-print tiger on your back?
"Roar wa!"
Another tiger roar came, but it had zero effect on Jiangnan's belly-crawl charge!
He couldn't help but laugh: "Don't just stand there! You roar too! Tiger roar! You ate the tiger biscuit too, remember?"
Zi Yuan quickly started roaring:
"Roar~ roar~ roar hey roar~"
Fatty Orange was also forced to kneel by the roar, sliding backward for several thousand meters, sparks flying from her kneecaps!
She gritted her teeth, flapped her wings, and lifted off the ground, but her four legs still stayed in a kneeling position!
The chase looked utterly ridiculous!
"You'll never leave the No Man's Land alive today!"
