Chapter 80 - 80: 80: Turning the Tables! (Seeking
“The Spear of the Ancient God!”
Just as the giant tiger lunged, Du Gang summoned the Spear of the Ancient God. The moment his palm grasped the spear shaft, he swung it at an incredible speed towards the tiger.
At the same time, he continuously muttered “Bigger, bigger, bigger!” in his heart.
As he kept muttering, the Spear of the Ancient God, originally two meters wide and thirty meters long, suddenly began to grow. Three meters wide, forty-five meters long…
Four meters wide, sixty meters long…
Caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the enormous spear, the tiger floundered mid-air.
But its large body made it hard for it to quickly maneuver in the air, especially considering the rapidly expanding spear was like a sponge growing at an alarming rate.
Having no other choice, the tiger reached out with its paw and struck at the spear.
“Clang! ”
A metallic collision echoed as the tiger’s paw met the spearhead.
The spear suddenly changed direction and smacked into the tiger’s body.
Though the massive spear – four meters wide and sixty meters long – lacked weight compared to the tiger, it was remarkably sharp.
Unfortunately, even at twenty-three Battle Levels, Du Gang could not fully utilize the colossal spear due to its size.
More precisely, with the sudden increase in weight after the spear enlargement, its speed was significantly reduced. Although the tiger collided with it because it was unable to brake in time, it did not suffer much damage.
However, the tiger’s charge was halted.
Du Gang initially only reacted instinctively to counterattack, intending to buy time to escape. But after witnessing the spear successfully stop the giant tiger, he paused.
“Withdraw!” “Launch!” “Clang! ” “Withdraw!” “Launch!”
“Clang! ”
After several rounds, the tiger no longer wanted to lunge.
Though the spear couldn’t harm it, the reaction force from their collisions caused discomfort in its insides.
Seeing the tiger halt, Du Gang also stopped, and staring at the tiger, he said, “My dear Tiger, let’s sit and talk….”
“Roar!”
“Okay, so you don’t want to talk. How about this, you stay king of the forest, I promise not to contend with you, deal?”
“Roar!”
“Since neither of us can defeat the other, why don’t we just leave it at that?”
“Roar!”
“Great Tiger, since you didn’t refuse, I’ll take that as a ‘yes’!”
Regardless of whether the tiger understood him or not, Du Gang began to retreat step-by-step, spear in hand, never taking his eyes off the tiger.
However, with each step he retreated, the tiger advanced a step.
“Tiger, you’re not being fair. We agreed not to fight, why are you not letting me
“Roar!”
After taking a few more steps back, Du Gang realized this wouldn’t work.
As a member of the cat family, the tiger was innately wary. Despite its large size, it had not changed its cautious nature.
They would only attack when they are certain of their prey. If they find their enemy too draining or potentially hazardous, they would retreat.
“Great Tiger, it seems you really have a bone to pick with me?!”
It dawned on Du Gang that unless he made the tiger perceive him as a threat and exclude him from its hunting list, it would not back down.
Consequently, he stopped, held his spear in the reverse grip, thought for a moment, then withdrew the spear back into his body.
Suddenly, his hands were empty.
Opposite him, the massive tiger indeed looked puzzled.
Its eyes darted left and right, as if asking, ‘Where’s the spear?’
With his now empty hands, Du Gang helplessly shrugged, trying to appear harmless.
“Oh Great Tiger, I’m flattered by your attention. Today, I surrender my body for your feast!”
Unfortunately, the tiger could not understand him, and even if it could, it was unlikely to be naive enough to believe him.
Seeing that Du Gang had ceased moving, it did not recklessly charge. Instead, it retracted its claws and started sauntering around Du Gang as though it was taking a stroll in its backyard.
The tiger’s most formidable weapons are its sharp teeth and retractable claws.
But what they excelled at was not direct combat, but ambushing!
Using their heavily padded feet to approach the prey quietly, they pounce once the prey is within striking distance, targeting the prey’s back and going for the throat.
This way, they could prevent injuring themselves from prey resistance and capture their prey at a minimal cost.
Clearly, Du Gang was familiar with the habits of feline creatures—though he’d openly proclaimed to feed himself to the tiger, he’d never once turned his back
on the beast.
After circling a few times without finding an optimal opportunity to attack, the huge tiger began to retreat.
“Hm?”
Du Gang watched the retreating tiger, puzzled.
Was it really giving up?
Soon, the tiger would be out of his visual range, disappearing from sight.
Is it safe now?
He was skeptical. He glanced at the eagle soaring high in the sky, and gestured to it.
Instantly, the eagle understood, and began hovering at a considerable distance from the ground.
As for Du Gang, he determined the direction of the tiger based on the eagle’s flight path.
It was just then that Chu Zixuan, who seemed to have noticed Du Gang’s predicament, directed a tree branch remotely towards a certain direction.
“Humph, planning an ambush?”
Du Gang sneered. Looking at the circling eagle overhead and the twirling branch nearby, he quickly understood.
The huge tiger hadn’t left. It had merely crept out of Du Gang’s line of sight, planning a stealthy ambush.
In the distance, several kilometers away, the massive tiger was lying flat on the ground, all four paws pressing quietly on the ground, slowly moving towards Du Gang’s flank.
However, with his enormous body, it was too difficult to keep himself completely hidden.
Without either of them needing to alert him, Du Gang was able to pinpoint the tiger’s approximate location based on the movement of the branch in the distance.
“Let’s play along then!”
Du Gang thought for a moment, deliberately exposing his back, and headed south.
He originally wanted to kill the tiger using his “Fatal Strike,” but even after putting away his spear, he couldn’t attract its attention.
And now, the tiger had chosen its own preferred way of hunting. So be it.
Give it a chance to hunt!
With feline creatures, if you don’t exclude yourself from their hunting list, they can be very persistent—they have enough patience!
And so, man and beast maintained a certain distance from each other, both heading southward.
Du Gang treated it as if the tiger had truly given up, never once looking back, steadily heading south.
But the tiger wasn’t in a rush, sometimes going east, sometimes west, and at one point, even circling to the front of Du Gang from a greater distance.
Finally, with only ten kilometers left to leave the forest, the tiger couldn’t bear it any longer and began to rapidly close the distance between them.
“Five kilometers, three kilometers, one kilometer…”
Only when it was approximately five hundred meters away, and felt that it was about to be exposed, did it finally pounce in Du Gang’s direction.
This time, victory was within its grasp!
A leap, a drag, bite to the throat—it was its usual hunting method.
Just as the distance closed to two or three hundred meters and it thought success was imminent, the prey in front suddenly turned around, with a strange expression on its face.
Although it couldn’t comprehend human language, it could discern mockery in the prey’s eyes.
At the moment of turning, Du Gang unleashed his only attack skill.
He could feel his muscles tensing and bones resonating, his feet furiously stamping against the ground, channelling his ‘Chaos Force’ through his body with utmost ferocity.
“Fatal Strike!”
Following a fierce shout, Du Gang jabbed his two-meter-thick and thirty-meter-long Ancient God Spear directly at the colossal tiger.
“Bang”BangThe strong impact force split the air, making a series of explosive cracking noises.
“Rooooarr–”
The tiger was shocked by the formidable energy, but basic instincts told him that it could not retreat!
“Roar!”
After a deafening roar, it shot out its claws towards the sharp spear.
However, it had underestimated the threat. Instead of facing the spear head-on, it adjusted its posture mid-air, tilting at a 45-degree angle to disperse the incoming force—an instinct embedded within its genes!
“Clever little trick!”
Du Gang sneered, and without paying any heed to the beast’s trick, he kept the spear thrusting forward while releasing all of his Chaos Force in one explosive burst.
“Cling- Zing”Boom-”
Three different noises echoed. Within an instant, one of the tiger’s claws were severed and the flesh on its pad was ripped apart by the spear, blood dripping profusely.
“Roar!”
With this hit, the tiger finally recognized Du Gang’s power—this was a beast that it could battle to the death!
Hence, it forcefully kicked back, propelling its body backwards, just like a spring. With a few agile leaps, the beast quickly fled the scene..
