Chapter 11
Black Tiger Soars Over Vulture
Upon seeing the giant black tiger, Leng Yaozhu's first reaction was to activate the emergency escape procedure.
Because, although Gu Lie and Na'er didn't know, Leng Yaozhu was very clear that the cultivation level of this giant black tiger was exactly one thousand years.
Although the Giant-Paw Black Tiger is not as domineering as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, its strength is still enough to give it a combat power close to that of the Spirit Ascension Platform Guardian.
The combat power of the Spirit Ascension Platform Guardian is a terrifying existence that even a normal Soul Master team cannot kill, let alone two children with only level thirteen soul power.
Having subconsciously regarded Gu Lie and Na'er as her own children, Leng Yaozhu's maternal love influenced her instincts.
But the trust she felt as a teacher, along with the stirrings deep within her martial spirit, made her stop what she was doing.
This also made Leng Yaozhu notice a problem, which was...
The giant black tiger didn't pounce immediately, but instead confronted Gu Lie and Na'er!
Why would a thousand-year-old tiger-type spirit beast be so cowardly?
"Gu Lie once said that the final form of his martial spirit, Garchomp, is the strongest dragon."
"If we refer to the Golden Dragon Spear that appeared 10,000 years ago, then Na'er's Silver Dragon Spear will also have a very close relationship with the Silver Dragon King."
"Could it be that their dragon power had a deterrent effect on the giant black tiger?"
"Then why didn't they demonstrate this power before?"
Although Leng Yaozhu didn't understand, she still carefully monitored the scene on the screen, ready to rescue Gu Lie and Na'er at any time.
Gu Lie himself didn't know why the giant black tiger, despite having the "advantage," didn't pounce on them immediately.
His eyes were fixed on the limbs of the giant black tiger. As soon as it showed any signs of exerting force, he would immediately activate the Quicksand Hell and then follow up with Dragon Breath to control it.
The opportunity is fleeting, and he must seize it firmly.
As for Na'er suddenly grabbing his left hand, Gu Lie doesn't have the extra four-dimensional space to deal with it right now.
Even so, he could sense that there was an energy between the two of them that was neither soul power nor spiritual power, which was quietly establishing a connection and flowing back and forth between their bodies, and was even gradually becoming stronger.
The most direct effect of this power on Gu Lie is that his proficiency with the several "self-created soul skills" he currently possesses seems to be higher, and several skills that originally required more time to study have now been mastered by Gu Lie as if he had learned them without a teacher.
The standoff was finally broken by the giant black tiger.
It lowered its head slightly, and its limbs began to gather strength. The next moment, the Black Tiger swept past the vulture (killed) Gu Lie, knocked him down with one blow, and then used its innate soul skill, the Black Tiger Giant Spirit Palm, to smash Gu Lie into a meat patty.
"Now! Quicksand Hell, connect with the Invisibility Rock!"
Gu Lie clenched his right hand tightly, and the ground where the giant black tiger's paws were standing turned into quicksand in a short time, causing the giant black tiger's limbs to sink in unison.
At the same time, the sand mixed with a large amount of gravel formed a small tornado that completely enveloped the giant black tiger's limbs, making it unable to escape from this quicksand hell even though it had relatively large tiger paws.
The next moment, Gu Lie suddenly opened his mouth, and a dragon's breath spewed out from his mouth, covering the face of the giant black tiger.
Na'er also stepped forward, and the silver dragon spear in her hand emitted a dazzling silver light. As her first soul ring shone, several spear beams seemed to cross space and landed precisely on the head and forelimbs of the giant black tiger.
The giant black tiger let out mournful cries and its movements became even slower.
Gu Lie and Na'er exchanged a glance, seeing the fighting spirit burning in each other's eyes. They nodded to each other and charged together towards the giant black tiger.
The giant black tiger immediately sensed a crisis, a crisis that it would turn into warm spiritual energy again.
The limbs, trapped deep in quicksand and constantly tormented by sharp pebbles, the body that could not be controlled freely, and the wounds that throbbed with excruciating pain all pointed to one thing.
It was about to be killed, killed by two human cubs.
"Awooo!!!"
With an even more ferocious roar, a jet-black soul force erupted from the giant black tiger's body.
Almost instantly, the quicksand hell created by the ancient hunter was blasted far away by this soul power, allowing the giant black tiger to stand firmly on solid ground again.
And those sharp stones vanished without a trace.
The next moment, the giant black tiger's gaze was fixed on Gu Lie once again.
Compared to Na'er, who was using the Silver Dragon Spear to treat her own gua sha, the Ancient Hunter posed a significantly greater threat to the Giant-Palm Black Tiger.
As the giant black tiger's gaze locked onto Gu Lie, the black soul power reappeared, connecting Gu Lie and the giant black tiger.
This is its other innate soul skill; to put it in high-EQ terms, it's...
A black tiger preys on a trapped lamb.
Lock onto and mark the target with your soul power. The target will be continuously weakened by 10% of all abilities and will be subjected to mental intimidation.
However, if one observes closely enough, one will find that this black soul power has not successfully marked the ancient hunter.
His first soul skill, Golden Body, perfectly blocked the Giant Palm Black Tiger's innate soul skill.
"Na'er, I've broken your defense, you finish her off!"
Gu Lie shouted and suddenly used his left arm to throw Na'er straight upward.
Na'er cooperated by leaping up, her small body quickly reaching a height of over ten meters.
At the same time, centered on Gu Lie's right foot, a burst of earth-yellow soul power suddenly erupted, causing the surrounding ground to tremble slightly.
Caught off guard, the giant black tiger's balance was affected. Although the shock was not strong, it was surprised to find that its acceleration ability had been reduced by one-third for some reason.
But before it could adjust its state, a purple energy wave struck again, reaching it in the blink of an eye.
The giant black tiger quickly gathered its soul power, trying to resist the skill that might paralyze its body.
However, this attack was not dragon breath, and the impact it generated was even more terrifying.
The giant black tiger's head, as if struck by a rising dragon punch, was thrown backward, carrying its entire body.
And most of its originally abundant soul power vanished instantly.
Just then, Na'er, who had been thrown into the air by Gu Lie, also began to fall.
The Silver Dragon Spear emitted a purple light, as if it had spread its wings, and fell straight down towards the raised head of the Giant Black Tiger.
Before the giant black tiger could recover from the incredible impact, an extremely terrifying pressure descended upon it, causing its soul power to come to a complete standstill.
"That was... an attack from the Dragon God?! How is that possible?!"
The giant black tiger stared in astonishment at the white figure descending from the sky, as if it had seen the image of the dragon god that its ancestors had once seen in its DNA, and its consciousness completely dissipated.
"It's a success! Na'er, well done!"
Having exhausted his soul power, Gu Lie collapsed to the ground, but his face showed an expression of ecstatic joy.
But before he could clearly see Na'er's figure in the dust, he felt a blur before his eyes and instinctively closed them.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw Leng Yaozhu's face, which was filled with worry and anger.
