Viola Subconsciously immediately took cover behind David. This aura was something she couldn’t bear at all.
David looked ahead and saw the leaves rustling. Suddenly, a strong wind had started blowing, shaking several trees vigorously. Leaves were continuously falling down.
“This is definitely the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger!” Viola frowned and said to David. Just as she spoke, a tiger head as large as a locomotive suddenly emerged from the woods. It then slowly walked forward, and a body about five meters long appeared before them. Its massive and powerful tail resembled a steel whip, and its entire body was of a purple-gold color. What was even more shocking was the fact that it had a pair of golden wings on its back.
“Roar!” The Purple-Gold Winged Tiger let out an angry roar towards David. The sound was so loud that the body of the Seven-Poison Python lying on the ground exploded instantly, flesh and blood flying, and the surrounding stones turned into powder on the ground.
“Not bad, quite powerful,” David said with interest while looking at the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger. His gaze toward it was filled with meaning.
This kind of mutant beast was something he had never seen before in the post-apocalyptic world. Its strength even surpassed some higher-level zombies from the apocalypse. However, despite this, David remained composed. He had come here to hunt mutants, and now that he finally encountered a powerful one, his desire for battle had been ignited. But Viola, behind him, stared at David as if he were a monster.
“The Purple-Gold Winged Tiger and the Seven-Poison Python are not in the same league, its strength far surpasses that of the python. Coupled with its wings, it’s an elite among the mutants, capable of slaughtering all enemies!” Viola continued to provide information about the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger, trying to make him feel afraid.
Now, while the tiger was not completely enraged, they might still have a chance to escape. If they waited until it was thoroughly provoked, there would be no way out.
“Adding wings to the tiger? An elite among the mutants? I’m here to kill elites!” David disregarded Viola’s words, took a step forward, and continued to look at the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger.
“You…” Viola wanted to say something more, but the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger on the opposite side roared again! This time, the roar carried obvious anger, and even the purple-gold color on its body started becoming more vibrant. It flapped its wings slightly, and the trees on both sides were broken like they were hit by a small storm, snapping with a “crack.”
The Purple-Gold Winged Tiger’s large eyes, about the size of light bulbs, emitted a purple glow, staring at David with a murderous intent. Judging from its outward appearance, its strength was enough to easily slaughter all mutants.
“Mutants with this level of strength, like the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger, are only ranked fifth in the Mutant Forest,” Viola sighed. She understood that David wouldn’t leave this place no matter what. A battle was inevitable. She had initially wanted David to leave this place regardless of his intentions. However, the thought of the partially constructed base and the succulent and tender Dongpo pork changed her mind.
Ultimately, Viola decided to stay. At this moment, she admitted that she was firmly in David’s grasp. Hearing Viola’s words, excitement surged within David. Wasn’t this providing him with a continuous source of opportunities? So, he turned around and asked Viola, “Have you ever eaten tiger meat?”
“Huh?” Viola was momentarily confused, not sure what David meant to convey. Then, she saw David give a light laugh, his figure flickered, and he dashed towards the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger!
Viola was greatly alarmed. She knew that David was going to fight this creature today, but he couldn’t initiate an attack! If he really provoked the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger, the consequences would be unimaginable. So, she could only stand on the side, nervously watching David’s movements.
In the blink of an eye, David created an afterimage in the void and swiftly approached the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger. Without hesitation, he raised the alloy short knife in his hand and thrust it toward the tiger’s head.
That Purple-Gold Winged Tiger was indeed not an easy mutant to deal with. As David charged towards it, its reaction was incredibly swift. It raised its paw, which was as large as a plate, and swung it down towards David’s head. .𝙘𝙤𝙢
This amazed David with its rapid response. Nonetheless, he showed no signs of retreating. He twisted the blade of the alloy short knife in his hand and changed from stabbing to slashing, aiming at the tiger’s paw. The alloy blade clashed against the tiger’s paw, producing a series of sparks.
The fur on the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger stood on end, and its eyes grew more agitated. It hadn’t expected a mere human to initiate an attack against it.
Before David even landed, the tiger kicked off its hind legs and charged towards him. With its weight of seven to eight hundred kilograms, it was like a small hill, attempting to crush David into pieces.
At the same time, its tail swung towards David’s head, and the immense force caused the air in the vicinity to compact. If its tail struck him, it would probably leave him severely injured.
“Be careful!” Viola stood in place, nervously shouting. Even though she hadn’t known David for long, his past performances had already impressed her. Seeing David in a dangerous situation, she naturally wanted to help.
Unfortunately, Viola’s strength was inadequate compared to the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger. Even if she intervened, she could only offer slight resistance. Additionally, the enraged tiger’s strength had surged, and its aggression was overwhelming. All she could do was stand there and remind David to be cautious.
Without needing Viola’s reminder, David caught sight of the charging Purple-Gold Winged Tiger and its tail, which resembled a steel whip. Instead of panicking, David’s eyes held a faint smile. In midair, he calmly tore open a spatial rift and immediately disappeared from the tiger’s sight. This evaded its attack entirely.
“Boom!” The massive body of the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger landed on the ground, creating a deep crater upon impact. Roaring angrily, the tiger searched for David’s presence.
Meanwhile, David emerged slowly from where he had disappeared. Seeing David unharmed, Viola finally let out a sigh of relief. However, before she could catch her breath, the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger leaped once again. It swung its paw towards David’s face, revealing four sharp claws each about ten centimeters long, glistening with a chilling light. It seemed determined to make David pay a price.
“Since you want to face me head-on, let’s give it a try.”David clenched his fist, and he advanced towards the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger. Then, he started running, his right fist tightly clenched, causing the airflow around his fist to become chaotic, forming a powerful shockwave!
