176: A deal

Supported by the Talent: Speed Burst, Lin Tianwei took less than ten seconds to cover the several-kilometer distance and reach the core of the Yin-Yang Bamboo Forest.

This was also why the news from outside hadn't reached the inside.

They were far enough from where the battle erupted.

And those who were crushed by Lin Tianwei only had one thought in their minds: to escape.

Naturally, they weren't in the mood to inform their brothers inside that a great terror was approaching them from outside.

Of course, even if they wanted to inform them, they were powerless to do so.

At Lin Tianwei's speed,

Lin Tianwei would have already arrived the moment their words fell.

Almost no one noticed Lin Tianwei's arrival.

Everyone only felt a gust of wind, and their bodies were involuntarily sent flying backward.

Those who bore the brunt were instantly smashed into a pulp by Lin Tianwei.

Such terror.

An opponent that the entire Yin-Yang Bamboo Forest couldn't take down was instantly killed by Lin Tianwei's single charge.

The remaining people looked at the suddenly appearing Lin Tianwei with faces full of horror.

His body was enormous.

Most importantly, he was completely unharmed.

There wasn't even a trace of being attacked.

Lin Tianwei being unharmed naturally meant that the other side suffered heavy losses.

Under the terrifying realization, Fintara's remaining troops almost didn't hesitate and directly gave up attacking the Yin-Yang Bamboo Forest.

Without even thinking, they turned around and started to flee.

This was hell.

A hell for the living.

Or rather, wherever Lin Tianwei went, it was hell for all his enemies!

If not now, when would they run?

"Run quickly! No matter how powerful the Tiger King is, he can't kill all of us instantly."

"As long as we scatter, some of us will surely escape!"

Suddenly, an unknown person shouted, finally waking up everyone who was in shock.

Standing still?

Then only death awaited them.

Scattering and fleeing, perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope!

Under the strong will to survive, they actually overcame the fear in their hearts.

They scattered and fled.

Looking at their speed, which surpassed the limits of Awakened humans, it seemed they were using all their might.

However, they were naive enough to think they could escape from Lin Tianwei, which was truly wishful thinking.

Lin Tianwei had many ways to deal with these people.

He opened his big mouth.

Orange-yellow flames brewed again.

The high temperature within it could even temporarily distort the air.

Infinite Fireball!

Terrifying fireballs broke free from the confines of Lin Tianwei's mouth, attacking the fleeing people like cannonballs.

Under the effect of the Talent: Fire Control, these fireballs accurately hit every fleeing person.

Instantly.

A raging inferno ignited once again in the Yin-Yang Bamboo Forest.

The fires of hell, capable of incinerating everything, ignited!

Upon seeing that Lin Tianwei's attack was fire, these people were slightly relieved.

If it was just fire, their fire-resistant protective suits would definitely save their lives.

Considering the possibility of a fire battle this time,

they had all put on special fire-resistant protective suits, which was a blessing in disguise.

However, these fleeing people probably never imagined that

their highly anticipated fire-resistant protective suits didn't work at all.

Instead, they became fuel.

Many times, when a restraining relationship is not absolute,

if the quality gap is too large, many things will lose their intended effect.

Just like the fire-resistant protective suits in front of them.

Although they were effective, they simply couldn't protect against the terrifying flames spewed by Lin Tianwei.

At the moment of contact, the flames did not rise.

A glimmer of hope rose in the hearts of these fugitives.

The fire-resistant protective suits were truly amazing!

They were actually immune to the large fireballs spewed by the Tiger King.

However, before they could celebrate for more than three seconds, they discovered with horror that the fire-resistant protective suits had lost their effect.

The flames began to burn fiercely, using the fire-resistant protective suits as fuel.

Their highly anticipated fire-resistant protective suits simply couldn't withstand Lin Tianwei's flames.

Soon, they turned into a ball of fire and were completely incinerated!

After dealing with the enemies, Lin Tianwei finally had time to examine Black and White.

The moment Black and White sensed Lin Tianwei's aura, its tense nerves instantly relaxed.

It knew it was completely safe.

The sudden relaxation of its tense nerves, combined with the immense sense of relief, caused it to actually faint.

However, even in this unconscious state,

it was still desperately guarding the yin yang bamboo shoots behind it with its body.

That was a treasure it had cultivated for Lin Tianwei, capable of enhancing Mental Power.

It would never allow any creature to seize it!

Since that was the case, Lin Tianwei didn't stand on ceremony.

This kind intention should not be let down.

With that thought, he directly picked up a yin yang bamboo shoots and put it into his mouth, swallowing it in large gulps.

Fresh yin yang bamboo shoots had the crispest texture.

A slight chew would release sweet juice.

Although not as sweet as rose honey, it had a unique refreshing quality.

Most importantly, within these lustrous yin yang bamboo shoots, Lin Tianwei also felt an incredibly cool power.

Absorbed by the body, it flowed with the blood and eventually converged towards Lin Tianwei's brain.

This was when the importance of Lin Tianwei's inconspicuous Danger Perception Talent became apparent.

As the saying goes, "calamity enters through the mouth."

In this place full of mutated creatures, eating indiscriminately was no different from seeking death.

Even the Brain-Eating Worm, which seemed harmless to humans and animals,

secreted "Mental Enhancement Fluid" that hid a huge trick.

The Danger Perception Talent allowed Lin Tianwei to confidently taste any unfamiliar things.

To confidently taste some strange heavenly treasures.

Perhaps this was the most useful effect of this Talent at the moment.

This magical power was incredibly cool, and in an instant, it invigorated Lin Tianwei's spirit.

His entire head felt as if it were immersed in ice water, incredibly comfortable.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target."

"Ding, Talent extraction failed. The host has obtained 3,700 Talent Fragments."

Just as Lin Tianwei completely digested this yin yang bamboo shoots, he actually received a system prompt.

In other words, killing plants could also drop Talents.

It was a pity that this Talent extraction failed.

But it didn't matter, Lin Tianwei also obtained a large number of Talent Fragments.

The considerable quantity even made Lin Tianwei think of uprooting this bamboo forest.

Most importantly, Lin Tianwei checked his Mental Power and found that it had increased by a full six points.

Even with the Mental Strength Enhancement bonus, it was still a full three points of basic Mental Power enhancement.

This situation made Lin Tianwei not hesitate and continue to taste the remaining yin yang bamboo shoots.

A total of eight, which meant a total increase of twenty-four points of Mental Power.

For Lin Tianwei, it was definitely a valuable asset.

This situation also made Lin Tianwei breathe a sigh of relief.

This trip out was not in vain.

However, Lin Tianwei was still a bit too naive.

How could a treasure that could enhance attributes be completely without restrictions?

Not only did the effect of eating yin yang bamboo shoots to increase Mental Power become worse and worse,

but when he ate the sixth yin yang bamboo shoots, Lin Tianwei's Mental Power actually stopped increasing.

Lin Tianwei, not believing it, ate another one.

It was still an incredibly wonderful taste.

It was still an incredibly cool sensation, but it no longer had the effect of increasing Mental Power.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target."

"Ding, Talent extraction successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new Talent: Power of Life and Death (Transcendent)."

"Ding, please confirm whether the host wants to use this Talent."

"Power of Life and Death (Transcendent): Transcendent-level Talent. Life and death cycle endlessly. Consume your own energy to enhance/weaken the target's vitality."

However, this time, consuming yin yang bamboo shoots was not without any gains.

Lin Tianwei successfully extracted a Talent, which was a huge profit.

Although this Talent had a mediocre effect, it at least bore the title of a Transcendent-level Talent, so it might have other unexpected effects.

Even without other effects, with Lin Tianwei's powerful strength, it was a very useful area-of-effect skill for bullying weaker opponents.

Under the blessing of Lin Tianwei's powerful physique, the Power of Death could be called the Grim Reaper's scythe.

Wherever the black light passed, life was instantly harvested!

In addition, Lin Tianwei also possessed the Power of Nature to replenish his own vitality.

With the assistance of a large number of plants, Lin Tianwei could even slaughter a city relying solely on the Power of Life and Death.

And the Power of Life and the Power of Nature were also a perfect match.

They were both very good auxiliary abilities.

Combined with the Self-Healing Talent, they could instantly heal all the damage Lin Tianwei sustained.

His seemingly not-so-large body actually hid endless power, making him a complete tank.

An extremely terrifying tank.

Underestimating Lin Tianwei's health and stamina, wanting to fight a war of attrition? Only Lin Tianwei's enemies would suffer.

With that thought, Lin Tianwei used this Talent without hesitation.

Feeling the new Talent gradually strengthening his body, Lin Tianwei took the opportunity to turn and scrutinize the other group of participants.

The group of participants who helped Black and White.

At this moment, they huddled together, forming a defensive stance.

They seemed to want to rely on their collective strength to resist the terrifying Tigers Might emanating from Lin Tianwei.

However, judging by their trembling bodies,

this idea had clearly failed.

Especially when Lin Tianwei's huge tiger eyes looked at them, they trembled even more violently.

The endless killing intent almost destroyed their sanity.

Being able to barely stand upright was already a testament to their high quality.

Especially since Lin Tianwei had just eliminated three America troops right in front of them.

Three America troops whose numbers were only more, not less, than theirs.

In other words, it would only take Lin Tianwei a few breaths to eliminate them.

Thump.

Perhaps unable to bear the terrifying pressure brought by Lin Tianwei.

Or perhaps wanting to seize the last opportunity to make a desperate gamble while they could still speak.

A person who looked like a leader stepped forward.

After all, once Lin Tianwei made a move, they would no longer have a chance to speak.

The leader's demeanor was very polite, and he even bowed to Lin Tianwei before introducing himself:

"I am Liu Guanghua, greetings, Tiger King."

It was surprisingly fluent Chinese, which greatly surprised Lin Tianwei, who had been in America for a long time.

Could it be that this unit in front of him was actually from China?

Sure enough, after Vision Field was activated, he saw familiar faces under their helmets.

Yellow skin.

Black hair.

Black eyes.

These were the most obvious characteristics of Chinese people.

Seemingly realizing his slip of the tongue, Liu Guanghua repeated it in a foreign language, saying:

"I am Liu Guanghua, greetings, Tiger King."

"It is our fault for presumptuously disturbing you, Tiger King."

"However, we have a mission that we must complete, and that is to bring this Giant Panda back."

After all, in Liu Guanghua's eyes, Lin Tianwei was an America Tiger.

It was also extremely normal to communicate in 'bird language'.

However, from Liu Guanghua's obviously trembling voice, it could be heard that he was afraid.

And how could he not be afraid?

Snatching a bear from a Tiger King was undoubtedly an act of seeking death.

If the other party considered this a provocation against them,

once a conflict arose, they would have no possibility of survival.

However, this was their mission, and they had no choice but to say it.

While they could still speak, they would negotiate with this terrifying tiger in front of them.

What if it succeeded?

If not, then they would die with honor!

Since they dared to undertake this mission, they were prepared to die.

Liu Guanghua had even closed his eyes.

But he found that the imagined death had not come.

Opening his eyes, he saw Lin Tianwei looking at him with amusement,

as if waiting for him to continue.

A true Tigers Might!

Liu Guanghua's heart, however, was filled with joy.

As the intelligence stated, the Tiger King possessed extremely high intelligence and was an existence that could communicate.

Since he could communicate, Liu Guanghua had room to maneuver.

He would let the Tiger King know what it meant to be eloquent!

Even though his teeth had begun to chatter, Liu Guanghua suppressed the fear in his heart and spoke again:

"Your Majesty, the Tiger King, please don't misunderstand, I have no other intentions."

"As everyone knows, the homeland of all Giant Pandas is in Huaguo."

"We just simply want to take it home."

With that, Liu Guanghua even took out several photos and showed them to Lin Tianwei.

All the photos showed Black and White Giant Pandas.

One photo even clearly showed that

the small Giant Panda in it was Black and White itself.

As for the two larger pandas?

Those must be its family members.

Liu Guanghua was also trying his best to increase the persuasiveness of his words.

However, these words clearly exhausted all his strength.

He began to gasp for breath.

His body, unable to withstand Lin Tianwei's Tigers Might, swayed and fell backward.

Fortunately, a quick-witted comrade caught Liu Guanghua, preventing him from collapsing to the ground.

Taking Black and White home?

That was a good reason.

However, Lin Tianwei would not believe that the matter was that simple.

Perhaps what they valued more was Black and White's ability

and the terrifying domain effect formed by its superposition with the Yin-Yang Bamboo Forest.

He looked at the heavily injured Black and White.

Then he looked at the group of humans from Huaguo in front of him.

Lin Tianwei pondered for a moment and finally chose to leave.

Giving Huaguo a chance.

It was also a way for him to find a foster home for Black and White.

Of course, Lin Tianwei could not compromise that easily.

Thinking of this, he said in an unquestionable tone: "Provide me with at least ten yin yang bamboo shoots every month."

"Or an equivalent amount of items that can enhance Mental Power."

"Guarantee that Black and White will not suffer any abuse, and you can take it away."

Although it was a negotiating tone, Lin Tianwei did not give the other party any room for choice.

Since they made a request to him,

then they must agree to the conditions he set.

Pure love and hate almost do not exist.

Interest is a more solid and reliable relationship.

Perhaps it was precisely because Black and White had enough value that it might live better in Huaguo.

At least better than in America.

At least that was its hometown.

As for the demands Lin Tianwei made,

he was not lacking these ten yin yang bamboo shoots.

After all, without the effect of enhancing Mental Power,

yin yang bamboo shoots were just delicious food that could provide a little energy to him.

He only wanted to express an attitude.

He was watching over Black and White, protecting Black and White.

Dare to break the contract.

Then they had to consider if they had the qualifications to be destroyed. He didn't mind drifting across the sea to the other side of the continent for a walk.

To personally retrieve what belonged to him.

Of course, if the other party could replace the yin yang bamboo shoots with rare treasures of equal value, Lin Tianwei would make a huge profit.

Every place has its unique products.

These are treasures nurtured by the local climate, environment, and soil.

They are miraculous things that are almost impossible to replicate elsewhere!

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei no longer stayed and prepared to leave.

Having lost the yin yang bamboo shoots and Black and White, this place no longer held any attraction for him.

Talent: Speed Burst activated!

At an extremely fast speed, Lin Tianwei began to rush towards the farm.

This trip had yielded two powerful Talents.

His Mental Power had increased by a full twenty points, so it was not a wasted trip.

As for Liu Guanghua and the others?

They looked at each other.

We survived, we finally survived!

Not only that, but they had also excellently completed their mission.

As for the conditions Lin Tianwei finally proposed?

They had no complaints whatsoever.

In fact, the combined value of the yin yang bamboo shoots and Black and White was immeasurable.

With focused cultivation, it could easily allow Huaguo to possess its own forbidden zone.

A forbidden zone for outsiders, a paradise for their own people!

Moreover, the effect of the Power of Life and Death was far more complex than it appeared on the surface.

Working together, they could play many tricks.

Even the America side thought so, otherwise, they wouldn't have had the idea of taming Black and White.

It's just a pity.

They chose the wrong method.

Ultimately, they brought about their own demise.

As for Lin Tianwei's demands, they were even simpler.

Even when measured by price, this was a hugely profitable transaction for them.

And it was also a futures contract.

Whether it would be fulfilled in the future naturally depended on whether the Tiger King had the qualifications to make them fulfill it.

Thinking of this, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.

The mission was completed in a way that far exceeded expectations, which was a testament to their perseverance.

Especially those warriors who had exhausted their will confronting Lin Tianwei.

They finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground one by one.

However, from the joy on their faces, it was clear that they were extremely happy.

Indeed.

To be able to carve out a path to survival in such a desperate situation.

And at the same time successfully complete the mission.

Such a thing.

How could it not make people happy?

Now they just needed to wait for the arrival of the support team!

—

Where there is joy, there is naturally sorrow.

The three major cities that besieged the Yin-Yang Bamboo Forest were utterly distressed.

This time, a large number of elite troops were dispatched.

Not only did they gain nothing, but they were completely wiped out.

This was something that no one could accept.

Other cities were fine; at least the city lords were still there and could maintain stability.

However, in the city where Fintara was located, even the city lord had perished, leaving behind a huge mess.

At the same time, it was also a huge prize.

A city without a master; this was an extremely tempting piece of fat.

Countless people cast greedy glances at it.

However, among these people, Ismail was the fastest.

As if she had already anticipated Fintara's failure, she had prepared personnel and troops in advance.

The moment she saw Fintara's death, she occupied the city named Stamford.

With lightning speed, she quickly gained control of Stamford City.

At this moment, people suddenly realized how farsighted Ismail was.

She had actually foreseen the outcome of this battle.

And had prepared countermeasures in advance.

At the first opportunity, she became a formidable existence controlling two major cities.

However, Ismail, who had occupied Stamford City, showed no joy on her face.

Because her biggest fear had come true.

Lin Tianwei's strength had grown beyond her imagination.

This meant that this was also an existence strong enough to attract everyone's attention.

Most importantly, this existence was on America soil.

Constantly threatening the people on this land.

Ding-dong.

This was the sound of a message notification.

It came from the radio receiver in Ismail's hand.

It was hard to imagine.

It was an era of such advanced technology, yet due to the inability to build infrastructure, they could only use the most primitive communication methods.

Looking at the message received on the radio communication device, Ismail's expression immediately changed.

This was a rough assessment of Lin Tianwei's combat power by Professor Yannos, based on observed data.

It was concise and to the point.

And it used the data of Polar Bear King Tasika as a reference for comparison.

At first, Ismail felt that this comparison was a bit of an overreaction.

How could a mere tiger, a dozen meters long, be compared to the Polar Bear King Tasika, which was tens of meters tall?

The terrifying power of that single palm strike that could penetrate a hundred-meter iceberg, just looking at it filled people with awe.

However, after seeing the final conclusion, Ismail was shocked.

One to nine.

It was actually one to nine?

The win-loss ratio between the Tiger King and Polar Bear King Tasika was as high as one to nine?

Don't let this win rate, which was almost a complete victory for Polar Bear King Tasika, deceive you.

But that was data derived from a difference in size of several times.

In other words.

If their sizes were similar, the Tiger King could absolutely completely defeat Polar Bear King Tasika.

The kind of complete crushing.

This conclusion was simply unbelievable.

After all, even in a normally developing natural world, the win rate of a Siberian Tiger against a Polar Bear was not high.

Far from reaching the point of crushing.

That is to say.

Lin Tianwei's strength definitely far exceeded that of an ordinary Siberian Tiger.

Moreover, victory and defeat could not be judged simply by data.

As long as there was more than a 1% chance of winning, the Tiger King had hope of defeating Polar Bear King Tasika.

There were too many factors that could determine the outcome of a battle.

Combat awareness, external factors, and even the state of the warring parties at the time—these were all crucial factors in determining victory or defeat.

How could it be?

How could the Tiger King possess such powerful strength?

To be able to contend with the extremely powerful Polar Bear King Tasika.

This was simply incredible.

With a questioning mind, Ismail continued to read this meticulously analyzed report.

Thanks to user 20190905081546143 for the 100 points, and thanks to everyone for their monthly votes and recommendation tickets!
