"Just one more month? Time really flies by! I wish it could slow down a bit..."
He heard the third one's thoughts.
Jiang Che stood up, stretched his muscles, and leaned forward, extending his body, feeling a bit regretful.
It's been five months since he crossed over, and now he was fully accustomed to life as a tiger, spending his days eating and sleeping, occasionally selling cuteness to tourists and interacting with them.
But in a month, these comfortable days would be over!
Without free food, Jiang Che would have to hunt for himself to fill his stomach.
By then, there would be no avoiding fighting and killing!
"I wonder how much stronger the blood mist baptism that the third one mentioned will make me, ultimately? It should be enough to rule and dominate this zoo, right?"
Jiang Che mused inwardly.
According to the third one, if one's physique was strong to begin with, the boost brought by the blood mist baptism would be even greater afterward.
And his current physique could be considered the pinnacle among ordinary beasts!
Once the spiritual energy revival happened, all the animals in the zoo would certainly evolve, and Jiang Che would need enough strength to protect himself when chaos broke out.
Hopefully, it wouldn't disappoint him...
Jiang Che's gaze flickered as he looked at Nangong Luo, who stood nearby.
Worth mentioning was that perhaps due to the life-saving grace last time, and also to prevent Fang Yuan from attacking her again, Nangong Luo had chosen to cultivate not far from Jiang Che during this period.
Jiang Che didn't mind Nangong Luo's behavior, after all, Fang Yuan was a particularly stubborn guy, consistently refusing to change his ways, and there was a good chance he would take action when Jiang Che let his guard down.
If one day this guy went mad again, thinking of eating the third one, he could step in promptly.
After all, these two guys were targets bound by the system, and for tenfold feedback, Jiang Che had to protect them both well and couldn't let them die.
This applied to both Fang Yuan and Nangong Luo.
In the dark corner, Fang Yuan, seeing Jiang Che and Nangong Luo seemingly becoming allies, ground his teeth in hatred.
"This third one is really sly, never leaving the sight of that stupid big brother, maintaining tight precautions against me!"
Fang Yuan, with fierce intent, his tiger eyes filled with murderous intent, stared intently at the eldest and the third tiger.
If looks could kill, Nangong Luo would have died at least seven or eight times by now, and Jiang Che innumerable times.
"It's simply ridiculous, having that damn stupid big brother always protecting her, I'm not going to risk it!"
Fang Yuan felt disdain towards Nangong Luo's cowardly behavior.
He wasn't stupid. The strength of the stupid tiger big brother was unfathomable, so he naturally wouldn't rush in to get beaten needlessly.
But one day, this Demon Monarch would make that stupid tiger pay...
Fang Yuan viciously bit down on a rat he caught from the ground, thinking venomously.
Just then, Fang Yuan suddenly felt a gaze upon him, and upon looking, he found that it was the big one staring over, with a seemingly unfriendly gaze.
Not good! Could this guy be about to act!
He was shocked!
In a flash, Fang Yuan's thoughts spun countless circles in his mind.
He quickly changed his demeanor; his previously fierce face suddenly became naive and docile, his gaze warm and friendly, meeting Jiang Che's eyes.
"Now, this guy shouldn't come over to bully this Demon Monarch, right?"
Fang Yuan felt apprehensive and uneasy.
Only after Jiang Che's gaze shifted away did Fang Yuan let out a sigh of relief, inwardly thinking narrowly escaping a disaster.
"Damn it, this Demon Monarch is living worse than a dog!"
After calming down, thinking about his earlier behavior made Fang Yuan feel a pang of humiliation.
Living like this made Fang Yuan feel extremely stifled!
"This second one is quite patient, isn't he? His act is truly impressive!"
He heard the second one's thoughts.
Not far away, Jiang Che casually shifted his gaze, inwardly chuckling.
"Looks like this guy is really afraid of me beating him up!"
Knowing the second one wasn't planning to covet his sister anymore, Jiang Che felt much more at ease.
However, this second one was a Demon Monarch in the past life, treacherous and cunning, acting without scruples, and rebellious by nature!
In these days, the other cursed Jiang Che hundreds of thousands of times daily, never repeating himself!
Even Jiang Che got tired of listening.
So, Jiang Che decided he still needed to frequently warn the second one, letting him know what could and couldn't be done.
...
A month passed by in the blink of an eye.
That night.
Nangong Luo wasn't asleep, instead, she was staring intently at the clock hanging in the corridor.
The date on it read July 30.
And as night fell,
high above the vast, unbounded starry sky, the moon hung high, casting a cold light, draping the earth with a silver veil!
Even the Tiger Garden was now bathed in the soft moonlight, no longer pitch black, and faint outlines of surroundings could be seen.
Suddenly, the sky darkened.
Looking up, the silver-glowing moon and twinkling stars disappeared into the sky's darkness.
The entire world seemed like lights went out, instantly engulfed in darkness.
This phenomenon startled the zoo's various animals, who seemed frightened, with sounds of terror rising and falling, making the zoo incredibly noisy at this moment.
The darkness in the starry sky didn't last long.
Just as people speculated if another miraculous astronomical event had occurred, a streak of red light appeared in the sky, shining bright as blood.
This sanguine glow looked bizarre, first a single streak squeezed out from the horizon, then two, three...
Upon a closer look, it was as if endless blood mist poured down from the sky, akin to a burst dam, thick as a bloody river.
After the blood mist descended, it swept in all directions, engulfing the land in endless fog, like changing from a pure white gown to a crimson blood dress.
Soon, a mysterious blood moon slowly emerged from the blood glow above the firmament, hovering in the sky, appearing enigmatic and terrifying.
At this moment, with blood light descending and blood mist permeating, the entire world turned into a sea of blood!
"It's here!"
Nangong Luo thought as she saw a streak of blood light.
"Is this the blood mist descent the third one mentioned?"
Jiang Che watched the blood mist surging from all directions, filled with intense curiosity.
He couldn't help but speculate.
As for the sudden appearance of the blood moon and blood mist, Fang Yuan felt apprehensive at first, unsure of what had happened until he sensed the spiritual Qi within the blood mist.
Fang Yuan was initially startled, then overjoyed, and in his excitement, he couldn't help but let out a joyful roar.
It was spiritual Qi!
This world had such rich spiritual Qi appearing!
The era belonging to this Demon Monarch was coming!
