Chapter 50: Transformation into a White Tiger

Ling Yao had followed Hu Gang for several days and thoroughly understood his cowardly nature.

Although he hadn’t fully understood Lou Su’s hand gestures in the bushes, he knew Hu Gang would be the first to run.

Therefore, he had been waiting nearby, and when Hu Gang fled, he immediately gave chase.

Hu Gang’s initial evolutions were in speed and strength. Despite his limited intellect, he had managed his seven underlings effectively with brute force.

After the first dungeon instance, he awakened his metal-based ability and spent a lot of points to purchase upgrade cards for enhancement.

Ling Yao wasn’t surprised that he could shatter Wang Heng’s earth prison with a single punch.

Since Hu Gang had a speed advantage, Ling Yao didn’t expect to catch up. He ran along, thinking of places with mutated creatures, and controlled a small, agile green-furred wolf.

After a day and a half of accumulating experience, he could now control mutated creatures with ease.

Hu Gang ran swiftly, only hearing the wind whistling past his ears.

As he ran, he suddenly felt something bumping into his back. To prevent any dangers while running, he activated his metal ability, hardening the skin below his neck with metal.

He wished he could harden his head like iron, but his level wasn’t high enough yet.

With his skin hardened, his perception decreased, and he only noticed the bumps after several hits.

Although reason and courage told him not to look back, he couldn’t resist turning around with an unknown object gently hitting him from behind.

Hu Gang strengthened his arm muscles, causing them to bulge under his clothes with his ability. He turned around abruptly and threw a punch into the air without clearly seeing what was behind him.

However, the green-furred wolf nimbly dodged his punch.

Seeing it was just a green-furred wolf, Hu Gang dismissed it. He took out a gun from the shop and fired several shots at the wolf.

But the green-furred wolf jumped left and right, dodging every shot!

“Damn it!” Hu Gang had killed at least a thousand elite green-furred wolves in the past two days, but this was the first time he encountered one so agile.

This green-furred wolf successfully aroused his competitive spirit!

He kept shooting at the wolf, gradually forgetting he was running for his life.

Just as he was determined to kill the green-furred wolf, another one suddenly dropped from above. Poison arrows rained down from it.

Hu Gang’s head was unprotected, so he quickly dodged aside, only to be tripped by the first green-furred wolf and fell to the ground.

He wildly fired his gun forward, hitting one of them.

But at that moment, a purple vine emerged from the ground and wrapped around his limbs!

“Ahhh, get off, you dogs, get off me!” Hu Gang’s skin was hardened, so it wasn’t corroded.

Moreover, he was strong and quickly freed one hand. He then pulled out a dagger from the shop and wildly slashed at the vines.

Several branches of the poison devil taro were cut into pieces, scaring the main plant from emerging. The other green-furred wolf was also punched away in the chaos.

He lay on the ground, breathing a sigh of relief, planning to get up and continue running when a dark shadow attacked his head.

Instinctively rolling aside to dodge, he was still too slow, and his neck was cut with a dagger.

“Who the hell are you?” Hu Gang clutched his wounded neck, stood up in disarray, leaned against a large tree, and glared at the tall, thin figure.

After fighting three mutated creatures, he was exhausted. Now that he was cut on the neck, he didn’t dare to run, fearing it would accelerate the blood flow. If he couldn’t escape the forest, he would die.

“I’m your grandpa!” Ling Yao took off his hood and wiped the nosebleed caused by overusing his ability.

Controlling three mutated creatures simultaneously was severely overloading, so he couldn’t fully control the poison devil taro. Otherwise, Hu Gang couldn’t have broken free so quickly.

Although his mental strength was depleted, Hu Gang had used his ability to run for so long and fought with three mutated creatures for a while, so he wasn’t much better off.

Besides, the next fight wouldn’t require any abilities!

“That voice… is that you? That little waste?” Hu Gang didn’t expect it was Ling Yao, especially after seeing his clean, beautiful face. His eyes instantly changed. “So, this is what you look like? If you had revealed this face earlier, I wouldn’t have treated you worse than a dog. At least I would have had you serve me properly in bed…”

“Then your grandpa will serve you well now!” Ling Yao charged towards Hu Gang with his dagger.

Hu Gang feared death but couldn’t tolerate being provoked by Ling Yao, whom he didn’t consider human!

He gathered his strength to meet Ling Yao, grabbing the dagger in Ling Yao’s hand with his bare hands. His ability was still active, and the dagger couldn’t even break his skin.

Seeing the dagger was caught, Ling Yao tried to pull it back, but Hu Gang held it tightly. He couldn’t pull it back, and then a sharp pain came from his abdomen. He was punched away by Hu Gang.

“Pfft!” After landing on the ground, Ling Yao saw stars and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The difference in strength between him and Hu Gang was too vast. He would be crushed even with bare hands, let alone when Hu Gang could still use his ability.

“Is that all you’ve got? Who gave you the courage to come after me?” Hu Gang pressed his advantage, pinning Ling Yao to the ground and punching him in the head.

Ling Yao’s teeth flew out, his ears rang severely, and he saw Hu Gang on top of him as multiple images.

Sensing the threat of death, Ling Yao’s tiger ears popped out from the top of his head, and white fur began to grow on his skin.

Seeing his ears, Hu Gang mocked, “Looks like a human, but has a pair of beast ears. I’ll help you cut off these ears today!”

He then took out a dagger from the shop and stabbed it through Ling Yao’s left ear.

“Ah!” The pain made Ling Yao cry out. He arched his back and rammed his head into Hu Gang above him.

Hu Gang only felt Ling Yao’s head suddenly enlarge twice its size, and then he was sent flying by a great force.

Ling Yao landed on all fours and roared at Hu Gang’s direction!

“You… what are you?” Stunned by the previous impact, he thought he was seeing things.

He actually saw Ling Yao turn into a white tiger!

Ling Yao answered him with a pounce. The white tiger’s size wasn’t large, clearly an immature tiger, but it had extraordinary strength. With its limbs on Hu Gang’s body, he couldn’t move even with his ability activated!

Amidst Hu Gang’s frantic struggles, Ling Yao bit through the major artery in his neck…

When Chu Xihen and the others arrived, the white tiger had almost devoured half of Hu Gang’s head.

Sensing someone approaching, the white tiger slowly turned its head. Its entire head was stained with blood.

“Is this… a new mutated creature?” Wang Heng instinctively took a step back upon seeing the tiger.

Ding Hui raised her hand, and three ice cones appeared in her palm.

But Chu Xihen stopped her, “Don’t attack, it’s Ling Yao!”
