177: Even a single tiger is enough to break the city!

Even if she didn't want to admit it, Ismail was ultimately convinced by the professional data analysis from the experts.

The Tiger King's strength was truly not so low as to be completely crushed by Polar Bear King Tasika.

Or rather, everyone had overestimated Polar Bear King Tasika, this bloated behemoth.

Although his size was incredibly powerful, his actual strength did not reach the level it should have after an equivalent proportional expansion.

Theoretically.

If a polar bear could reach such an enormous size.

And its physical fitness could completely keep up, its strength would reach a terrifying level.

Of course.

This was merely theoretical.

In fact, if one could truly follow theory.

Under the same volume, the strongest creatures would instead be those tiny insects that everyone looked down upon.

This was also the reason why Hellfire Forest was so powerful.

Hellfire, possessing the Directed Modification Talent, could give birth to powerful offspring.

With the inherent Talent of ants, their strength was terrifyingly immense.

Coupled with their numerical advantage, they had almost no opponents.

If they hadn't encountered the equally terrifying Mad Forest.

The range of Hellfire Forest would have probably long since spread across most of America's land.

In fact, almost no creature could achieve a proportional increase in strength while expanding its size.

Because their current state was their most perfect state.

It wasn't that these creatures didn't want to grow larger and gain greater strength.

Rather, this was the limit of their growth.

This was a genetic restriction, and also a genetic protection.

Once the genetic shackles were broken and they began to grow wildly.

What awaited them was not greater power, but self-destruction.

Clearly, these Awakened Beasts had gained special power, which allowed their bodies to rapidly expand to their current extent.

However, this power was clearly insufficient to allow them to grow proportionally.

Upon closer observation, one would find that they sacrificed a portion of their weight and strength for greater size.

To reduce the pressure on their bones and internal organs.

As well as their oxygen demands.

Otherwise, with their not-yet-strong bones and internal organs, forcibly pursuing greater power would only lead to their bodies falling apart.

But the Tiger King was different.

His existence completely defied common sense.

Not only did his weight not decrease to some extent due to increased size, but it became even heavier.

He was like a flesh-and-blood mecha, equipped to the extreme.

This allowed him to exert greater power than Awakened Beasts of the same size.

The seemingly insurmountable size disparity, in reality, did not translate to such an exaggerated difference in combat power.

This was also why the Tiger King still had a ten percent chance of winning.

Seeing this, Ismail's pupils dilated.

Recalling Lin Tianwei's special ability displayed in Zone C.

The special ability to instantly inflate several times in size.

A possibility suddenly flashed through her mind.

Could it be that the Tiger King chose to consolidate his strength by taking a steady approach?

That's why he grew so slowly.

If he had grown rapidly like other Awakened Beasts, he might have already been close to a hundred meters long.

Although he sacrificed some speed.

He was able to gain greater strength through this.

However, for some reason, the Tiger King abandoned this seemingly better option.

The facts were just as Ismail had imagined.

The reason why Lin Tianwei, who had seized the initiative, grew so slowly, even falling behind some rising stars.

Was because while expanding his size, he was also proportionally Reinforcing every part of his body.

The result of doing this was that his growth rate was very slow.

So slow that he was ruthlessly surpassed by one rising star after another.

However, the truth was that Lin Tianwei's strength was incredibly terrifying, far from as simple as it appeared on the surface.

A normal Awakened Beast of twenty to thirty meters, seemingly crushing Lin Tianwei in size.

Possessed greater strength.

But in a real fight, Lin Tianwei could easily kill them in seconds.

If it weren't for Lin Tianwei's incredibly precise control over his strength.

Every move he made could cause world-shattering commotion.

No less than a self-propelled tiger-shaped bomb.

This thought filled Ismail with dread.

This would mean that Lin Tianwei possessed far greater intelligence than the estimated data suggested.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to calculate so meticulously.

Thinking of this, Ismail felt her scalp tingle.

An opponent with great power was terrifying.

But an opponent with great power and extraordinary wisdom was even more terrifying!

No.

Impossible.

How could a mere tiger be so formidable?

And even know how to compress his strength to stand in an invincible position.

Blindly pursuing a larger size would only make one appear clumsy.

Especially speed, which would be greatly restricted.

By abandoning a clumsy body, speed would not be restricted.

This was the most basic principle.

Lin Tianwei's displayed speed, even without the enhancement of the Speed Burst Talent, was terrifying.

Completely inconsistent with his weight.

This form might not be Lin Tianwei's most invincible form.

But it was definitely the most suitable form for survival.

As long as a mushroom bomb couldn't catch Lin Tianwei, he wouldn't be injured by it.

Radiation?

Whether it could harm Lin Tianwei was still an unknown.

It was no exaggeration to say that humans had a hundred ways to deal with the clumsy Polar Bear King Tasika.

But to deal with Lin Tianwei, humans would find it almost impossible to find an opportunity.

They might be able to defeat him, but they couldn't stop him!

Lin Tianwei had completely established himself in an invincible position!

This...

No, it must be a coincidence.

How could the Tiger King be so far-sighted?

It must be that the Tiger King simply didn't have much potential.

Even with a large supply of food, he could only barely grow into his current appearance.

Ismail immediately made a judgment in her mind.

The die was cast.

An opponent like Lin Tianwei was the most difficult to deal with, but not fatal.

As long as she was careful and didn't provoke him like those idiots, it would be fine.

— —

Just as Ismail was convinced that Lin Tianwei posed little threat.

After a long journey, Lin Tianwei finally returned to his territory.

However, unlike when he left, this time no creature, oblivious to death, dared to block Lin Tianwei's path.

Fleeing in panic was their most instinctive reaction to Lin Tianwei's arrival.

From afar, Lin Tianwei already smelled the farm.

With his Vision Field fully open, Lin Tianwei could even see the entire farm's situation clearly.

Peace and quiet.

As if nothing had happened.

Except for the five helicopters that appeared out of nowhere, and some strangers who looked like starving ghosts reincarnated.

Undoubtedly, these people were the captives.

However, unlike the abuse they expected to encounter.

Or being prepared as sacrifices for Lin Tianwei.

The moment they were captured by the farm, they were surprisingly treated to good food and drink.

If it weren't for the special handcuffs still on their wrists.

No one would have guessed that they were prisoners.

What kind of prisoners were treated to such good food and drink?

Every bite of delicious food was something they had to work hard to obtain in Las City.

Perhaps they wanted to die with a full stomach?

With this thought, they became even more unrestrained.

After stuffing themselves until they couldn't eat another thing, they still looked at the food on the table with greedy eyes.

If they could just eat a little more.

Just a little more.

Then dying would be without any regrets!

They even felt that being captured by the farm wasn't so bad.

At least they enjoyed a treatment they could only dream of once.

Just as they were falling into despair and completely giving up, Ouro walked in.

To see these stubborn captives.

Seeing Ouro's arrival, the leader, a young pilot named Basarole, snorted:

"Do what you will, kill or torture, it's up to you!"

As soldiers, they possessed tenacious willpower and would never surrender to the enemy.

Facing Basarole's disdain, Ouro feigned surprise and said:

"Oh, my Lord Tiger King, Mr. Basarole, why do you have such strange thoughts?"

"We are compatriots, compatriots flowing with the same blood."

"How could I lay a murderous hand on a compatriot?"

"I think there's just been a small misunderstanding between us."

"If these small misunderstandings are cleared up, I believe Mr. Basarole will certainly not treat me with this attitude."

Hearing Ouro's words, Basarole showed no pleasant expression.

He even looked disdainfully at his handcuffs.

The meaning was very clear.

Friends with handcuffs?

Bound friends?

This was truly a joke.

Ouro, however, acted as if he knew nothing of all this, saying: "Oh, my Lord Tiger King."

"Who bound my friends here?"

"Quick, quick, release their handcuffs."

"We must be utterly sincere with friends."

At this moment, Steven stepped forward and said apologetically: "Lord Ouro."

"I believe, judging by the attitude of these people, they are not our friends at all."

"Releasing them will only cause chaos on the farm!"

Seeing his request denied, Ouro feigned anger and said: "Wrong, completely wrong."

"It is precisely because you chose to treat them with this method and attitude that they have this attitude."

"I believe that once the misunderstanding is resolved, we will live in harmony like friends."

"Under duress," Steven could only angrily unlock all the captives' handcuffs, saying:

"You will regret your foolish actions."

Act.

You keep acting.

Facing Ouro and Steven's good cop, bad cop routine, Basarole expressed his disdain, pushing his luck and saying:

"Since we are friends, then you naturally cannot restrict a friend's movements."

"I want to leave here, what do you think?"

After saying this, Basarole even looked at Ouro with a provocative gaze.

What he enjoyed most was this feeling of dancing on the edge of a knife.

Trampling on the dignity of these hypocrites bit by bit, making them expose their false true colors.

In the past, he might have still considered his life and not dared to be so arrogant.

But now he was in the hands of the Legendary fierce and brutal Tiger King.

In a situation where death was certain, why shouldn't he be allowed to say a few things?

Unexpectedly, Ouro completely agreed with his words, saying:

"Mr. Basarole, you are right."

"Friends should not restrict a friend's personal freedom."

"Therefore, I naturally cannot restrict your personal freedom either."

"In fact, if you wish to leave, you can choose to do so now."

"Of course, those helicopters cannot be taken."

"Although we are friends, I cannot gift you the spoils of war belonging to the Tiger King."

After speaking, Ouro waved his hand, signaling the guards watching the captives to leave.

He also left with them.

He believed that Basarole and the others would make the most correct choice.

As expected, upon seeing Ouro and the others leave, Basarole's expression immediately changed drastically.

He never imagined that Ouro was serious.

He was simply letting them act freely.

Even leave this place.

Leave this terrifying farm.

Thinking of this, Basarole's eyes grew fervent.

As a carefully trained pilot,

no matter where he was, as long as he was alive, he would be an absolute hot commodity.

However, Basarole quickly realized.

He seemed to have rejoiced too soon.

Although Ouro did not restrict his personal freedom,

not being able to take a helicopter, coupled with losing the farm's protection,

with terrifying Awakened Beasts everywhere outside, he had no choice at all.

It seemed full of choices, but in reality, he had no choice whatsoever.

Only the single choice of remaining on the farm.

Thinking of this, Basarole sighed.

He decided to personally explore this farm.

Unveil the mystery of Tiger King Farm and learn its true nature.

If possible, he wanted to use his skills to secure a good position for himself.

— —

On the other side, upon seeing Basarole leave the captive area, Ouro showed a triumphant expression.

Basarole had no choice at all.

Especially after witnessing the farm's power, staying here, truly staying here, was his only option.

However, just as Ouro was secretly pleased with himself for having subdued a powerful air force unit,

he felt a terrifying yet incredibly familiar pressure.

It was the Tigers Might unique to Lin Tianwei.

Mysterious and powerful.

However, with the blessing of faith, Lin Tianwei's Tigers Might, which should have had a deterrent effect on enemies,

had the opposite effect within the farm's boundaries.

Feeling the familiar Tigers Might, everyone's fighting spirit would be ignited.

This was the goal they fought for!

Ouro's tireless use of his language Talent to brainwash them had an uncommonly obvious effect.

Although not as simple and crude as Lin Tianwei brainwashing Kelo,

it was superior in its subtle influence.

Unknowingly, it made them actively accept this ideology.

And be willing to dedicate everything, even their lives, to protecting Tiger King Farm!

The moment he felt Lin Tianwei's aura, Ouro's expression became serious.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Tianwei rarely released his Tigers Might.

Releasing it now was naturally a signal.

A signal that he wanted to understand the farm's situation from Ouro.

Thinking of this, Ouro took a deep breath and reported to the void about the day's events.

Las City's attack, and their helpless retreat.

Also, how he had captured an air force unit and would soon subdue them.

Ouro knew that Lin Tianwei was like an omnipotent deity, possessing the ability to perceive everything.

Even reporting to the void, Lin Tianwei would surely receive his message.

Thinking of this, Ouro couldn't help but feel proud.

Being able to defend the farm this time without Lin Tianwei's intervention was undoubtedly a great achievement.

Furthermore, he had acquired excellent spoils of war, making it an even greater accomplishment.

Perhaps the Tiger King, in his joy, would also bestow upon him the special treatment of Rejuvenation.

One must know.

During this time, Pavel and Nobles had not refrained from showing off in front of him.

Boasting about their strengthened abilities.

And the incredible, surprising feeling of returning to youth.

Such miraculous events naturally attracted the attention of everyone on the farm.

Even in the New World, such inconceivable things were difficult for them to comprehend.

However, upon learning that Lin Tianwei was the creature responsible for all of this, they were relieved.

In their eyes, Lin Tianwei was an omnipotent god.

Possessing such abilities was simply the most normal thing.

A miracle?

If it happened to a god, it was simply to be expected.

For a moment, Ouro felt his brainwashing efforts had become even more potent.

The inner resolve of countless people was completely shattered after witnessing a true miracle.

They surrendered their entire body and mind to the existence named the Tiger King!

As the nominal leader of the farm, Ouro certainly had reason to be proud.

Moreover, this time's opponent was the strength of an entire city.

Yet he easily repelled them, forcing them to slink away.

How could Ouro not be excited?

However, as soon as Ouro finished speaking, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

The air instantly became oppressive.

As if some terrifying force was trying to compress the air, compressing it into liquid, dripping from the sky.

The Tiger King is enraged!

Ouro fearfully came to this conclusion.

He didn't understand what he had done wrong to provoke the wrath of this true deity.

Could it be that the Tiger King was blaming him?

Blaming him for not being able to completely keep the enemies?

But, heaven knows.

Protecting the farm was Ouro's primary duty.

Rashly pursuing the enemy would easily lead to falling into their trap and putting himself in a passive position.

Confused, Ouro could only press his entire body to the ground.

Continuously uttering words of praise for Lin Tianwei.

He began to offer the most devout prayers.

Ouro would not naively assume that just because Lin Tianwei was easy to talk to, it meant Lin Tianwei could be offended!

Angry?

How could Lin Tianwei not be angry?

He had merely gone out for a trip and almost had his home base stolen.

If such a thing couldn't make a tiger angry, then nothing could.

Tigers are inherently creatures with a very strong sense of territory.

Furthermore, Lin Tianwei himself regarded this farm as his private property.

Being so offended, he was naturally filled with rage.

Looking into the distance.

Lin Tianwei seemed able to see Las City, thousands of miles away, through numerous obstacles.

Dare to invade his territory?

If he didn't show them some color, they would truly think he was a vegetarian.

Since that was the case, then they would pay with their blood.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei revealed a cruel smile.

A terrifying cold light gleamed on his sharp fangs.

It was time to let these arrogant Americans see his power.

An unyielding steel fortress?

He would destroy it for them to see!

One tiger, enough to break a city!

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei immediately communicated rapidly with Bloodwing.

Others might not know the invaders' location.

But Bloodwing, with its excellent Vision Field and flight advantage, could not possibly be unaware.

Especially since Bloodwing knew that he would absolutely not let these invaders off the hook.

It would definitely help him gather the enemy's location.

As expected, Bloodwing quickly fed Lin Tianwei the location of Las City.

This was the information Lin Tianwei most wanted to know right now.

Without hesitation.

Lin Tianwei started running again.

However, this time the target was Las City.

This ungrateful city.

He transformed into a yellow lightning bolt.

With the blessing of the Speed Burst Talent, Lin Tianwei's speed was incredibly fast.

Although using the Speed Burst Talent consumed a lot of stamina,

for Lin Tianwei, whose entire body was an Energy Storage field,

this consumption was insignificant.

The most important thing was to teach the invaders a lesson quickly.

A bloody lesson.

The yellow lightning bolt set off again.

This time, it left another straight path in the dangerous wilderness.

The Awakened Beasts along the way suffered.

They either died, were maimed, or became Lin Tianwei's food.

Any creature that dared to stand in Lin Tianwei's way met a bad end!

— —

Lin Tianwei's abnormal actions naturally immediately attracted the attention of those closely monitoring the farm.

Such arrogance.

Such a blatant attack was a naked challenge to all of America.

Especially the target of the attack, Eliseo, the mayor of Las City, was furious.

How dared a mere Awakened Beast actively attack a steel fortress built by humans?

To say he had the guts of a bear and a leopard was an understatement of his courage.

Just as Eliseo was gathering his forces, preparing for a major battle relying on geographical advantages, he received a phone call.

As soon as the call connected, Ismail's pleasant voice came through, saying:

"Eliseo, leave Las City immediately."

"For this battle, you only need to control it remotely."

"Do not interfere directly and put yourself in danger."

"Fintara's lesson is still fresh in our minds; I hope you learn from it."

What do you mean?

What exactly do you mean?

Are you implying that I will lose?

Eliseo was utterly enraged.

He immediately hung up on Ismail.

This foolish woman truly regarded the Tiger King as an omnipotent god.

He was inside Las City.

Within this steel fortress, the culmination of countless human efforts.

How could he possibly fail?

If it truly came to an irreversible point, he could still escape in time.

As the lord of a city, fleeing without a fight would be a stain on his reputation, ridiculed for a lifetime.

Moreover, defeating the Tiger King and winning this battle was what Eliseo should do.

He was confident.

The steel fortress, built with humanity's highest technology, absolutely possessed the strength to kill the Tiger King.

If this ungrateful tiger dared to deliver himself to his doorstep,

he wouldn't mind having an extra tiger skin rug.

To have its body trampled under his feet for eternity.
