The tiger grunted, feeling excited. Its food was walking right into its mouth, so how could it not eat it up? Every time it saw a human, it would just feel excited. Every human was just a stepping stone for him to reach greater heights!
It slowly stood up on its limbs, trying to keep itself quiet so that humans would not notice him. The person did not walk too slowly, or too fast. Every step was incredibly steady. The man did not have too much emotion on his face, as if he did not see the cave at all.
He slowly walked until he reached the front of the cave. There were about six meters between him and the cave when he stopped. He looked right into the cave with his cold gaze. The Black-scaled Tiger was already hiding and waiting for him. The tiger was amused that the man had actually walked to the cave.
It was an incredibly short distance, the man would not be able to avoid any attacks. With that in mind, the tiger immediately launched itself forward, baring its large claws.
It really wanted to see how shocked and terrified the fragile human would be when he saw it. The human would definitely freeze up, and his eyes would widen. He might even pee his pants. The tiger had seen plenty of human like that before.
Other than those who stood at the very top, almost all of the warriors turned around and ran the moment they saw it, or they would freeze up completely, not even able to run away. However, the Black-scaled Tiger never expected a calm expression to greet him the moment it was out of the cave.
There was no panic and no freezing. There was no fleeing at all. The human merely looked at it peacefully, and even smirked. The tiger was immediately stunned! What was wrong with this person? Was he crazy? Was he blind?
The tiger had planned on killing the man in front of it with one blow, but he was caught off guard. Fane smiled and said, "You really are just slightly injured, just like those others…"
When the tiger left the battlefield, Fane quietly followed until the tiger reached its cave. Initially, the tiger even thought that Fane was blind.
However, hearing what that man said, the tiger immediately understood that the man already knew that the cave was its den. The man had purposely come to face it! When the tiger realized that Fane was no idiot, the tiger suddenly felt like it was being challenged.
The tiger was already intelligent enough but was unable to transform due to lacking the power to do so. However, it could speak human words and communicate with humans without issue. It was just that his voice still retained the unique traits of a beast. Its voice was rough like a person with a cold, "What are you doing here? Are you trying to make a deal with me?"
Just saying that made the tiger feel amused. Those humans could be incredibly despicable with their methods. They did not care about their so-called fellow disciples at all. They merely cared about their own profits.
Fane sneered, "I'm not like them. I won't play any tricks either. I just came here to send you off on your final journey…"
