Yu Zi Yu’s voice reverberated within the mist, leaving White Tiger dumbfounded.
He was utterly dumbstruck.
He blinked his eyes in a Human-like manner. It looked like he wanted to argue his case.
But the next moment, as it opened its mouth…
*Grooaar* A loud and thunderous roar escaped his mouth. The subsequent sound waves even pushed away the surrounding mist, giving rise to waves of mist spreading in all directions.
The Tiger’s roar, the hallmark of the King of the Beasts, carried an undeniable power. At least, his roar made many of the Mutant Beasts tremble, looking at White Tiger in fear.
But despite his fearsome roar, White Tiger felt even more frustrated. He wanted to speak, wanted to express his thoughts, but when he opened his mouth, all that came out was roars. What could he do?
Meanwhile, White Tiger’s roar gave Yu Zi Yu even a bigger headache.
“I’ve said it many times, you have to communicate with your mind, not with your mouth.” As he said this, Yu Zi Yu could not quite understand.
Nine Tails and Bull Demon both could easily grasp language. Even Old Fourth, Sarcosuchus, learned to express a few simple phrases in a few days.
For instance, Master, Spirit Lake.
Sarcosuchus’ voice may have been extremely icy, but he could still convey bits of his thoughts.
However, White Tiger could truly not be taught. Already half a month had passed, and yet, he could not utter a single word. Occasionally, when he tried to speak, all he did was roar and roar again.
[Could it be that he is not just dumb on the surface, but also has a screw-loose inside?] With a doubtful mind, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze toward the White Tiger changed.
After a moment, he, looking at the dejected White Tiger, sighed helplessly and stated, “I’ll give you another month. If you can grasp some form of psychic communication, I’ll allow you to go out.”
No sooner had Yu Zi Yu finished speaking…
*Roar!* An excited roar resounded through the night sky. Other Mutant Beasts could not help but feel a sense of helplessness as he started jumping up and down like an exuberant child.
“I’m certain that Third Brother is a White Tiger, not a White Cat.” Amidst a heartfelt exclamation, Qing Gang’s expression could not help but become stranger.
To be honest, if White Tiger’s size was reduced by ten times, he would be no different from a domestic White Cat with stripes. However, compared to a domestic cat, White Tiger was unmistakably naive and foolish. It was not apparent during hunting, but in other situations, he exuded innocence from head to toe.
A massive White Tiger standing at three to four meters high, jumping into the air just to catch a butterfly. Leaping and frolicking around the outskirts of North Canyon, just to play with a Peregrine Falcon.
Of course, Qing Gang did not really see White Tiger as White Cat. Because when he first entered the Misty Mountains, he ran into this Mutant White Tiger.
At that time, he was almost scared to death.
A roar from this ‘Cat’ made the entire forest tremble in fear.
When he walked, he carried the aura of the King of Beasts.
A single swipe from White Tiger left him severely injured.
The indomitable power and indescribable might had left a lingering shadow in Qing Gang’s heart, and it had not faded even after so long.
And so, the King of Beasts, in his daily life, exhibited such a naive and foolish demeanor.
Qing Gang could not help but sigh at the stark contrast.
At this moment, Yu Zi Yu, casting a deep glance at the excited White Tiger. He shook his head and shifted his gaze to Sarcosuchus.
Compared to Nine Tails, Bull Demon, and even White Tiger, the newcomer Sarcosuchus was the one that put Yu Zi Yu’s mind at ease the most.
*Roar!* An inexplicable bellow reverberated through the canyon as the Sarcosuchus slowly raised his yellow vertical pupils.
“Mas…ter.” In his icy voice, there was a tinge of rare emotions.
Apparently, only Yu Zi Yu was the only one capable of stirring his emotions, with was truly the case.
Nodding, Yu Zi Yu looked at the Sarcosuchus and gave a rare instruction, “Although you possess exceptional talent, you still can’t fight many enemies alone. Do you understand what I mean?”
“Under…stood.”
His long jaws opened and closed as he nodded, recalling the instructions the Divine Tree had given before.
If he encountered a large-scale beast heart, he must not engage in a direct confrontation. The first thing he should do was run, the faster the better. This was due to the fact that the reflexes brought by the Sarcosuchus’ Muscle Movements were like an instinctive catapult, but relatively speaking, it was also a terrible drain on physical strength.
Yu Zi Yu had long noticed this, and had repeatedly emphasized it.
If a terrifying existence like Sarcosuchus, who was born for battle and possessed extraordinary talents, were to perish from exhaustion, it would really be a pity.
Shaking his head and suppressing his thoughts, Yu Zi Yu waved his branches, recalling the dispersed mist.
“Disperse.” After he said this, the entire North Canyon returned to its previous silence. Every now and then, a few insect cries would be heard, only to disappear into the night within moments.
<Ding! You killed a Tier-0 Level 1 Mutant Cricket, Evolution Points +10.>
Listening to the voice ringing in his ears, Yu Zi Yu could not help but mutter to himself. “It’s been so long, and yet there are still many Mutant Insects dares to come here.”
A cold smile emerged on Yu Zi Yu’s face as his consciousness slowly sank into the depths of his true form. For a being like him, sleep was no longer necessary. However, Yu Zi Yu needed to use sleep to immerse his consciousness in his true body in order to have complete control in the truest sense, to control a colossal body of such magnitude.
Yu Zi Yu’s rootlets were like Human hair.
If one of them were missing, would Humans even notice?
Certainly not.
And it was true for Yu Zi Yu too. Occasionally, a rootlet would be nibbled by some Mutant Beast, and he would remain completely unaware of it.
However, once Yu Zi Yu’s consciousness sank completely into his true body, this flaw would be completely eliminated.
At this moment, if someone were to pay attention to the Misty Mountains in the night, they would undoubtedly be horrified to discover countless black Snake-like rootless creatures slowly wriggling and adjusting their positions.
Some hid among the weeds and grassess, sometimes delving into the crevices in the rocks.
Certainly, there were more instances of them disappearing in a flash, dragging nocturnal Mutant Beasts underground, leaving behind a mess of fur or bloodstains.
<Ding! You killed Tier-0 Level 2 Mutant Rat, Evolution Points +20.>
<Ding! You killed a Tier-0 Level 1 Mutant Yellow Weasel, Evolution Points +10.>
…
One notification after another rang, music to Yu Zi Yu’s ears, bringing a smile on Yu Zi Yu’s lips.
There was no sound more pleasing than this.
Well, if there was one, it would be the sound of obtaining even more Evolution Points.
Poor tiger. Daddy won’t let him go and play until he’s finished his homework
