Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 81: Hungry Steel-fanged Tiger

Just half an hour later, a peculiar noise was heard in the jungle not far from the Iron-toothed Tiger.

"rustle!"

A tiger with a gray body and a pair of three-meter-long saber-toothed teeth appeared in Li Yu's sight. It was another iron-toothed tiger. Seeing that the other party was walking with its nose twitching, it was obviously also a lucky one attracted by the Nepeta demon flower.

Although attracted by the scent of the Nepeta demon flower, the iron-toothed tiger did not lose its mind and still looked around cautiously, fearing that it would encounter an ambush. Soon, the body of its unfortunate fellow lying on the ground caught the iron-toothed tiger's attention. The alertness in the tiger's pupils suddenly skyrocketed, and it let out a heart-shaking tiger roar.

"Roar!"

After the tiger roar, the surrounding mountains and forests became increasingly lively. Ten minutes later, five more iron-toothed tigers appeared. It was unknown whether they were attracted by the fragrance or provoked by the tiger roar. The six iron-toothed tigers, all of which were powerful warriors, did not show any mutual sympathy or blood ties among their own kind. Instead, they were hostile to each other like a group of enemies.

"Roar!"

Just as the six tigers were ready for battle, an even more terrifying tiger roar sounded in the deeper forests. Soon after, the owner of the tiger roar came leisurely to the battlefield and completely killed the opponent.

The moment it saw the master of Tiger Roar, the Iron-Tooth Tiger, which had been on edge, suddenly changed its attitude. It put away its grinning face and instead crouched down, burying its head deeply under its front paws, expressing its submission to the tiger.

The only one who could make them treat him like this was naturally the overlord of this mountain range, the leader of the Iron-toothed Tigers - the Steel-toothed Demon Tiger.

Unlike the Iron-Tooth Tiger that crawls on all fours, the Steel-Tooth Tiger stands upright. Because of this, the Steel-Tooth Tiger appears particularly tall, over fifty meters tall. The presence of this mountain overlord can be seen from several kilometers away.

The Steel-Tooth Demon Tiger was not in a very good mood. As the leader of the Iron-Tooth Tiger Clan, it was very satisfied with its life. Although the Iron-Tooth Tiger Clan had a fixed range of activities, they did not tend to live in groups like most demon races. Instead, they were scattered around the Qinling Mountains within a radius of 200 kilometers. It only needed to summon its clansmen to its front and count them regularly to fulfill its duties.

But today, the Steel-toothed Tiger noticed that some minor problems had occurred among his tribesmen. Several young and strong tribesmen had quarreled in the woods not far from him, which seriously affected his sleep. The Steel-toothed Tiger thought it was necessary to show his authority as a leader at the right time.

When it arrived at the place where the conflict had occurred, the Steel-Tooth Tiger Demon saw its own people baring their teeth around the headless body of a dead member. Although the body had a slight fragrance, a bit like the floral scent of its old enemy, the Nepeta pseudo-demon, the smell was not strong, and could even be said to be very light.

The steel-toothed demon tiger was somewhat disappointed. Is this one of his people? How could he be so stupid? Is he really not the offspring of the group of earth dragon pigs in the neighboring territory?

Although the scent of the Nepeta demon flower is indeed very attractive, how could such a small smell cause so many tribesmen to almost fight each other? If you are really greedy, go pick it yourself. The Nepeta pseudo-demon at the level of a general is not a rare species.

The steel-toothed demon tiger jumped over the tribesmen crawling on the ground, picked up the corpse directly, looked at it carefully, and sniffed it deeply. Don’t mention it, the fragrance is quite persistent, hmm...

It's a bit intoxicating, but the pleasant smell is probably the floral scent produced by its arch-enemy.

The Steel-toothed Tiger Demon stuck out its tongue and licked it again. The big scarlet tongue combined with the shining silver fangs had a unique impact and tasted quite good. Then, under the greedy and envious gazes of the six Iron-toothed Tigers, the Steel-toothed Tiger Demon swallowed the body of its confused tribesman in one gulp. It looked quite magnanimous as a demon leader.

However, this boldness made Li Yu, who was watching from a distance, feel his scalp numb and his mouth twitched.
"Is this going to be a disaster?" Just five minutes later, Li Yu witnessed with his own eyes the effects that Shi Liang had stated in the instructions. They were indeed worthy of their reputation, not exaggerated, and even a bit conservative.

Not long after the Steel-toothed Tiger swallowed the unfortunate Iron-toothed Tiger's corpse, an irrepressible excitement surged out like a flood.

Hungry! Hungry!

The Steel-Toothed Tiger Demon thought of the difficult life he had as a child when he was too weak, his parents had died, and he had to make a living on his own. The endless hunger of not having any food for seven days was an unforgettable nightmare for him.

food!

The only thought of the Steel-Tooth Demon Tiger at this moment was to eat. Everything within its sight was its food, even its tribesmen who were standing respectfully at its feet.

The Steel-toothed Demon Tiger didn't hesitate at all. Under the shocked gazes of the other Iron-toothed Tigers, it grabbed the two Iron-toothed Tigers at its feet and bit their bodies to pieces with its mouthful of steel teeth that were much stronger than before. Flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The remaining four Iron-toothed Tigers were dumbfounded. They had no idea of ​​the changes in the Iron-toothed Tigers' bodies. Just a minute ago, the commander who seemed so tall and majestic in their eyes suddenly became like a punctured balloon. His tall, strong and muscular body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. In contrast to the shrunken body, his already terrifying steel teeth became even more terrifying and sharper.

The change happened in a very short time, so short that the Iron-toothed Tigers didn't even have time to react, and two unlucky guys were eaten alive on the spot by the commander in the red-eyed state. They had never experienced the pain of having their bodies forcibly torn apart personally, but only heard the miserable wails of the eyewitnesses. The surviving Iron-toothed Tigers didn't dare to try it anyway.

run!
Although they didn't know the reason for the leader's strange change, even the dumbest demons knew that if they didn't run now, they would definitely die. The four iron-toothed tigers spread their legs and fled in different directions...

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a tiger roar resounded through the mountains, and the powerful pressure from the superior made the fleeing Iron-toothed Tiger lie on the ground in despair, his legs weak and powerless, desperately waiting for the coming of death.

The eyes of the Steel-Tooth Demon Tiger seemed to be soaked in blood, and no trace of its original appearance could be seen. With only the desire to eat left in its heart, it treated the tribesmen in front of it as food to fill its stomach.

One head... two heads... three heads... four heads...

Finally, all the Iron-Tooth Tigers were stuffed into the Steel-Tooth Demon Tiger's belly. There was no breath of any living creature around, but the Steel-Tooth Demon Tiger's hunger still had not subsided. Just as it was about to go to other places to find food, the heart-beating breath of life in the air made it turn around suddenly. The small body dozens of meters away seemed like the most tempting delicacy in the world.

"I still have to do it myself."

Li Yu sighed, then faced the fishy breath that came out of that bloody mouth. The lingering smell of blood in it was nauseating.
