21: king

Three minutes later!

Mike looked at the calm river surface with disbelief.

Three full minutes had passed, yet the underwater battle still hadn't ended.

Impossible!

This is simply unscientific!

How could a Siberian Tiger hold its breath for so long underwater?

Mike felt this cruel reality was like a slap to his own face.

It made his face burn with pain.

But then he relaxed and said, "Five minutes, he absolutely cannot last more than five minutes."

"I was careless; I forgot to consider the deep breath that Siberian Tiger took before falling into the water."

"Since this is his plan, he naturally wouldn't be unprepared."

"Five minutes, at most five minutes, and Black Fiend will surface with him unconscious."

Time passed by second by second, and soon it was exactly five minutes.

However, there was still no movement on the water's surface.

If it weren't for the traces of the fierce battle between the two beasts still remaining by the riverbank,

Mike might have even thought he was looking at the wrong camera.

What's going on?

Why can that damned Siberian Tiger still hold on?

Mike's eyes were full of doubt.

Then, as if realizing something, he became panicked.

This Siberian Tiger isn't planning to drag Black Fiend down with him, is he?

If he refuses to let go, even with Black Fiend's swimming ability, he wouldn't be able to drag a several-hundred-pound Siberian Tiger back to the surface.

This possibility scared Mike so much that he immediately called Professor Yanos.

He reported the situation he saw, exactly as it happened.

That was Black Fiend, Professor Yanos's treasure.

If something happened under his watch, even if he was his favorite student, he would definitely be in deep trouble.

Even if the probability of something going wrong was very small, he had to nip the possibility in the bud.

As expected, after hearing Mike's report, Professor Yanos's face changed drastically.

He said in shock, "Mike, are you sure you're not joking with me?"

"How could a mere Siberian Tiger raised in a Zoo have such powerful strength?"

"To be able to drag my precious Black Fiend into the water."

After receiving Mike's reconfirmation, Professor Yanos said with a grave expression, "Immediately send people to check on Black Fiend's situation."

"This damned Siberian Tiger, if he wants to die, he should die alone; he actually tried to drag Black Fiend down."

"Once his body is dragged back, I will definitely flog his corpse!"

"No, Black Fiend must not suffer any mishaps. I will personally give the orders."

Before long, a helicopter took off directly from Ismail Institute and flew towards the location where the two beasts were fighting.

It was filled with fully armed mercenaries.

They had only one goal: to ensure Black Fiend survived!

In the river.

Compared to the bustling crowd outside, here it was a scene of peaceful tranquility.

To Lin Tianwei's surprise, Black Fiend initially chose to remain indifferent to his restraint.

He even looked at him with an expression that seemed to say, 'You're courting death.'

Lin Tianwei instantly understood.

It seemed Black Fiend was very confident in his swimming ability, thinking that Lin Tianwei's actions were nothing more than seeking death.

Who was seeking death was still uncertain!

Since Black Fiend wasn't struggling, Lin Tianwei was too lazy to waste energy.

Time would tell Black Fiend how ridiculously wrong he was!

Eight minutes!

This was a delicate time node.

For Black Fiend, this would be the period when he would begin to be affected by oxygen deprivation.

In contrast, Lin Tianwei.

His large tiger eyes remained open, showing no signs of suffocating.

Was it a bluff, or did he truly have the ability?

Black Fiend's eyes were filled with doubt and uncertainty.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have never truly understood the strength of this Siberian Tiger.

He couldn't sit back and wait any longer.

He couldn't gamble, not with his life.

Finally, just as Black Fiend was about to reach his limit, he erupted!

The wolf head bit fiercely at Lin Tianwei's vital points with lightning speed.

His four limbs exerted force simultaneously, trying to break free from Lin Tianwei's embrace.

However, to think he could escape from Lin Tianwei's grasp with just these small tricks was truly a bit too naive.

The reason Lin Tianwei kept his eyes open was to detect Black Fiend's intentions at the first possible moment.

Easily avoiding Black Fiend's wolf bite, Lin Tianwei used the strength in his four limbs to hold Black Fiend's body tightly.

Not only that, but he also bit fiercely at Black Fiend.

Returning courtesy with courtesy was Lin Tianwei's way of being a tiger.

Under even greater power, Lin Tianwei's teeth, tearing through the water, launched an attack on Black Fiend.

Although Black Fiend barely dodged, he was still bitten by Lin Tianwei on his already blind right eye.

Bright red blood gushed out, instantly staining the nearby water.

Such immense power further convinced Black Fiend that he could no longer sit back and wait for death.

However, knowing it was one thing; having the ability to resist was another.

His strenuous struggles not only failed to free him from Lin Tianwei's restraint.

Instead, he exhaled several bubbles, consuming his limited oxygen.

Ultimately, he could only widen his eyes, pupils constricted, and completely lost consciousness.

Even so, he still clung tightly to Lin Tianwei's body.

He seemed to want to use his last bit of strength to drag Lin Tianwei down with him.

Unfortunately, this was destined to be futile.

With powerful force from his four limbs, Lin Tianwei instantly broke free from Black Fiend's restraint.

Not only that, but he also began to swim upwards, carrying Black Fiend's already semi-conscious body.

Ismail Institute.

Mike stared intently at the constantly bubbling river surface.

Just now, the previously calm river surface had undergone some changes.

Finally, it became calm again, and then a large tiger head emerged.

How could this be?

How could this be?

Mike's eyes were filled with disbelief.

The victor of this underwater battle was actually that Siberian Tiger?

How could he break through the Siberian Tiger's physical limits, survive in the water for so long, and still retain his consciousness?

However, no matter how unbelievable he found it, this had happened.

Through the camera's telephoto lens, he also discovered Black Fiend, completely unconscious, hidden in the river water.

Stepping on Black Fiend's body, Lin Tianwei let out a triumphant tiger roar.

In this battle between tiger and wolf, he was ultimately the victor!

He was the king who could dominate this territory!

Under the tiger's roar, even the character "King" on Lin Tianwei's forehead seemed to become three-dimensional.

It looked extremely imposing!

The deafening tiger roar made Mike in the monitoring room tremble.

He felt as if he saw a prehistoric giant beast Awakening!

However, after the shock came fear.

Looking at Black Fiend, who was like a dead dog, Mike's heart was filled with terror.

He had to do something to prevent Black Fiend's death.

Otherwise, Professor Yanos would definitely take his anger out on him.

Thinking of this, he unhesitatingly pressed the control button in his hand.

Zzzzzzz.

Terrifying electric currents were generated out of thin air, beginning to attack Lin Tianwei's brain.

During the time he was unconscious, the Ismail Institute had done many things to him.

The most obvious was the current generator implanted behind his brain.

As soon as Mike pressed the controller, a powerful electric current would attack Lin Tianwei's brain.

It could even make him completely lose consciousness.
