Chapter 213 Stealing My Pig Leg?!
"Hmm?"
Xuan Mo's eyes suddenly narrowed, his gaze fixed in one direction. This time, however, he chose to conceal his aura.
"Be careful."
After giving a warning, he immediately stepped forward and moved to the right, directly blocking Ning Rongrong's path.
As for his extremely fragrant braised pig leg, he placed it on the clean, large rock behind him.
In Xuan Mo's perception, not far from them, an entity with a distinctly strong soul power fluctuation seemed to be approaching them at an astonishing speed.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle..."
With the rustling of leaves in the bushes, a flash of light appeared not far from them, and a figure silently appeared in an open space about thirty meters away.
It was a small white tiger with white fur and black stripes, its eyes like the starry sky, but filled with a wary expression. Moreover, it had a fierce yet adorable appearance.
"So cute!"
The moment Ning Rongrong saw the white tiger, her eyes turned into hearts, as if she regarded it as a pet.
Xuan Mo, however, was different.
Although he didn't recognize it, everyone living in the Star Dou Great Forest was a Soul Beast. Even though this Soul Beast appeared young, its speed and aura indicated it was at least a nearly thousand-year-old Soul Beast.
Moreover, what was special was that the feeling this Soul Beast gave him went far beyond what its cultivation level suggested.
"Rongrong, this is the Star Dou Great Forest."
Noticing Ning Rongrong's state, Xuan Mo's expression turned serious, his face stern as he reprimanded her in a low voice.
"Oh..."
At the same time, in Xuan Mo's mind, "Huh? There are actually Soul Beasts like this?"
Suddenly, the Fire Dragon King, who had been silent for a long time, spoke in Xuan Mo's mind, immediately catching his attention.
Xuan Mo stared intently at the white tiger before him. Seeing that it remained silent out of fear, he focused his attention on his own mind. "Uncle Huo, it's been almost half a month. You and Uncle Bing have finally responded."
"Hahaha!"
The Fire Dragon King's figure slowly appeared. "Since last time, Old Bing and I have been resting for a while. But we woke up a long time ago. It's just that you don't need us, so we didn't speak up this time. After all, you have to walk your own path." As the Fire Dragon King finished speaking, the Ice Dragon King's figure appeared immediately afterward. "Old Huo is right."
After the Ice Dragon King finished speaking, Xuan Mo noticed that the usually decisive Ice Dragon King hesitated for a moment.
"Young Mo, do you know the identity of that white tiger?"
Xuan Mo was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered. He already had a guess in his heart. This soul beast's identity was probably unusual, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to attract the attention of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.
Before Xuan Mo could speak, the Ice Dragon King seemed to be talking to himself, saying, "The Heavenly Divine Tiger is a soul beast with unparalleled strength and defense, far surpassing those top-tier soul beasts. Not only does it possess innate divine power that even the Golden Dragon would take notice of, but its defensive capabilities are also exceptionally astonishing. After cultivating for 100,000 years, it will possess heaven-reaching and earth-shattering might, and even an indestructible body!"
"Boy Mo, do you remember those immortal herbs from before?"
At this moment, the Fire Dragon King picked up the conversation, saying something that shocked Xuan Mo, yet also made him somewhat aware of it.
"Did you know? While most immortal herbs grow in precious lands, a small portion are companion immortal herbs of certain types of soul beasts."
"Soul beasts like the Heavenly Tiger are accompanied by a mature Heavenly Chrysanthemum with each birth. When the Heavenly Tiger consumes it and refines it to reach a cultivation level of 100,000 years, it forges an indestructible body. Unless the Heavenly Tiger dies prematurely, this Heavenly Chrysanthemum will never wither or die."
"Heavenly Chrysanthemum?!"
Xuan Mo's eyes gleamed upon hearing the name of this immortal herb, clearly harboring some "good idea."
But the next second...
"Don't even think about it, kid."
Xuan Mo snapped out of his reverie, looking at the Fire Dragon King who was staring at him with disdain. "Look, you're already drooling."
"Ahem. What could I possibly be thinking? Don't talk nonsense."
Seeing his thoughts exposed by the Fire Dragon King, Xuan Mo, thick-skinned as ever, coughed a few times without batting an eye, then flatly denied the Fire Dragon King's words.
"Heh, is that so?"
The Fire Dragon King chuckled, then glanced at Xuan Mo with a half-smile.
"If you're after that Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, I advise you to give up. This soul beast is clearly less than ten years old, yet it has such a large size and nearly a thousand years of cultivation. Obviously, it has already devoured its own companion immortal treasure."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mo was visibly disappointed. But the Ice Dragon King's words made him forget all about that.
"Boy, that soul beast is about to make a move."
Xuan Mo immediately snapped back to reality upon hearing this.
According to the Ice and Fire Dragon King, this Heavenly Tiger, with its thousand-year cultivation, was capable of killing some ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. If it attacked, and Xuan Mo wasn't prepared, Ning Rongrong could easily be caught off guard.
The moment Xuan Mo opened his eyes, the Heavenly Tiger before him was already poised to attack.
"Roar..."
A majestic tiger's roar, carrying a youthful yet overwhelmingly powerful aura, resounded throughout the surroundings.
"Goodness."
Just as Xuan Mo uttered a word of praise, the Heavenly Tiger vanished like a gust of wind, lunging towards Xuan Mo and the others.
Seeing this, Xuan Mo instinctively reacted, shielding Ning Rongrong behind him, and he himself re-entered the Martial Soul Possession state.
However, when Xuan Mo saw the Heavenly Tiger again, he realized that its target wasn't him or Ning Rongrong, but the rock behind him.
No, or rather, the pig's leg that Xuan Mo had just placed on the rock—that would be more accurate.
The Heavenly Tiger extended one of its forepaws, its gaze fixed on the pig's leg with a hint of desire. Even a glistening drop of liquid clung to the edge of its jaws.
"Wait! You can't touch that pig's leg!"
Xuan Mo cried out, trying to stop it.
But it was clear the Heavenly Tiger wouldn't listen.
It opened its jaws, revealing two rows of clean, hard teeth, and with its blood-red maw wide open, it was about to bite down hard on the pig's leg.
"No! You bastard, stop right there..."
"Awooo!"
