118: threaten?
Yusuf never expected that his confident attack would not cause Lin Tianwei the slightest harm.
His teammate, Nikola, was instantly swatted away by Lin Tianwei.
Although he didn't die, he had clearly temporarily lost his combat ability.
How was this possible?
How could the Tiger King possess such combat power?
Recalling Ouro's words, a feeling of regret welled up, causing Yusuf great pain.
If he hadn't acted so recklessly, perhaps his Awakened squad wouldn't have suffered such hardship.
However, Lin Tianwei wouldn't give him time to regret.
Using all four limbs, he ran swiftly.
He launched a fatal attack on Yusuf.
A cold glint flashed on his tiger claws.
This would be an attack to disembowel Yusuf!
"Captain, dodge quickly!"
Three shrill cries rang out in the Mental Link.
It was a pity that, although their cries warned Yusuf, he lacked the ability to evade the attack.
The sharp tiger claws instantly ripped through his body.
Lin Tianwei directly gave him a thorough piercing.
With a gentle flick, Lin Tianwei directly flung Yusuf's body away.
The sharp claws had completely pierced through his body.
With such severe injuries, even if a divine immortal came, it would likely be impossible to save him.
With a leap, Lin Tianwei's body covered a great distance, arriving in front of the little black figure holding a crossbow.
With a sweep of his long tiger tail, Lin Tianwei didn't even need to use his claws; it was enough.
The tiger tail directly constricted the enemy's neck.
With powerful force, under rapid swinging, he treated the body like a rag doll.
After a few swings, with a crisp crack.
His neck broke!
He was directly flung away by Lin Tianwei, enjoying a 'suffocation play' package.
Soon, he completely lost his life.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target."
"Ding, Talent extraction successful. The host has obtained the Talent: Reinforcement (Normal)."
"Ding, please confirm whether the host wishes to use this Talent."
"Reinforcement (Normal): Normal-grade Talent, consumes the body's energy to reinforce the target."
"Note: Theoretically, any object can be reinforced, but depending on the target's tolerance, the energy required for Reinforcement also varies."
"The Reinforcement effect is jointly determined by Reinforcement energy, target tolerance, and Talent level."
Reinforcement?
And it was a normal-grade Talent.
But it was precisely with this seemingly trashy normal-grade Talent that one could break through Lin Tianwei's terrifying defense.
The potential of this Talent might be even greater than Lin Tianwei imagined.
Without hesitation, he directly chose to use this Talent.
He planned to study it thoroughly when he had time later.
The next thing to do was to harvest the remaining Awakened.
To obtain their powerful, or not-so-powerful, Talents!
However, just as Lin Tianwei was about to launch a fatal attack on Nikola, a cold voice rang out in his mind.
It was Asp!
She was communicating with Lin Tianwei through the Mental Link.
She said coldly, "Stop, you stupid tiger."
"Let us leave, otherwise I will not hesitate to kill your minion!"
Following the source of the Mental Power, he found that Asp had already taken Ouro hostage.
A gun was pressed firmly against Ouro's head.
It was as if if Lin Tianwei dared to say no, she would directly shoot Ouro.
Ouro, who was being held hostage, was also completely bewildered.
He never imagined that he would be held hostage by a human to threaten a tiger.
Such an absurd thing was simply the biggest joke in the world.
But it happened.
Ouro could only look at Lin Tianwei with a hopeful expression, hoping he could save him.
Facing Asp's threat, Lin Tianwei was practically amused.
He truly couldn't understand what was going on in the other party's mind.
If they had even threatened him with Black and White, the probability of success would have been a tiny bit higher.
Of course, Lin Tianwei likewise could not agree to their threat.
With a cruel smile, Lin Tianwei swiped a claw, directly killing Nikola.
He directly set off a blood fireworks display in the air.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target."
"Ding, Talent extraction successful. The host has obtained the Talent: Muscle Enhancement (Intermediate)."
"Ding, please confirm whether the host wishes to use this Talent."
"Muscle Enhancement (Intermediate): Intermediate Talent, stronger muscles contain greater explosiveness and strength."
A Talent that was better than nothing, Lin Tianwei directly chose to use it.
Lin Tianwei's act of directly ignoring the threat and killing Nikola was practically a provocation to Asp.
However, she dared not express her anger.
How could she not know that her actions were extremely foolish?
But at present, this was the only possible way to save her.
Even if the probability was only 0.01 percent, she had to try.
Thinking of this, she spoke up, "You can kill Nikola as you please, but you must leave me and Yusuf."
"Otherwise, you will lose a very useful minion."
As if to increase her persuasiveness.
Asp slammed Ouro's head with the gun stock, instantly causing his scalp to bleed.
Lin Tianwei, however, paid no attention and launched an attack on Yusuf.
He had no reason to miss the food that was delivered to his mouth.
The blood fireworks bloomed again; this time, it took Yusuf's life.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target."
"Ding, Talent extraction successful. The host has obtained the Talent: Fire Control (Advanced)."
"Ding, please confirm whether the host wishes to use this Talent."
"Fire Control (Advanced): Intermediate Talent, controls flames to launch attacks."
"Note: Conjuring flames out of thin air will consume more energy."
Fire Control?
And it had reached Advanced; that was a very good Talent indeed.
Lin Tianwei chose to use it without hesitation.
At the same time, he felt that Yusuf was truly foolish.
He had a Fire Control skill, yet he played it like a fireball casting spell.
Unless he possessed infinite energy like Lin Tianwei.
Otherwise, setting fire first and then playing with it would be the best choice.
And he didn't even need to show himself directly.
Hiding in the shadows to ambush people was the best method.
The enemy wouldn't even be able to find out who was attacking them.
However, the already deceased Yusuf clearly couldn't discover the correct way to use this Talent.
Lin Tianwei also had no intention of telling him.
After dealing with the five people, this Awakened squad was left with only one person.
That was Asp, who was holding Ouro hostage.
At this moment, she looked at Lin Tianwei with a stern but outwardly weak expression, saying the most cowardly words in a fierce tone:
"You win. As long as you let me go, I will release your minion."
"Believe me, such a useful minion is not easy to find."
At this point, Asp glared fiercely at Ouro.
