356: tiger roar
Before acting, Lin Tianwei first sensed the spatial conditions nearby.
He discovered that the space he was in was indeed completely locked down and frozen, just as Filiche had said, making even short-distance teleportation impossible.
Only his storage space, which was a self-contained dimension, could barely be opened, but it required consuming more Space Energy than usual.
Facing this situation, Lin Tianwei was not surprised, but rather pleased.
Filiche had truly done him a great favor, meticulously weaving a net to trap himself.
The Space Lockdown, which seemed extremely unfavorable to Lin Tianwei, was actually a guarantee of his successful hunt.
At least he didn't have to worry about these 'food items' escaping through spatial means like teleportation.
They had already become turtles in a jar!
Thinking this, Lin Tianwei immediately unleashed his power; he wanted to give these foolish Cosmic Beasts, who dared to surround him, a huge surprise.
Talent: Charge Burst (Transcendent)!
Talent: Sonic Wave (Transcendent)!
Talent: Mental Power (Monarch)!
Talent: Mental Strength Enhancement (Transcendent)!
Although Lin Tianwei had hundreds of ways to attack these Cosmic Beasts, he chose the most shocking one.
Roar~~~~~~
It was called a sound, yet it was not a sound at all.
Under the effect of Mental Power, a deep and majestic tiger's roar, in an extremely special way, transcended the distance of space and simultaneously resounded in the minds of these Cosmic Beasts surrounding Lin Tianwei.
Although sound cannot travel in the vacuum of space, Lin Tianwei's Mental Power could.
The Sonic Wave and Mental Power merged, producing an effect far greater than two, instantly unleashing terrifying power and attacking all the Cosmic Beasts surrounding Lin Tianwei.
Who could have known that the prey in their eyes might actually be the true hunter?
The complacent Filiche would never have imagined that Lin Tianwei, deep within the encirclement, would actually take the initiative to attack them.
And in such an incomprehensible way.
The moment the tiger's roar sounded, Filiche felt as if a thunderclap had exploded in his mind.
Carrying mighty and overbearing power, it began to wreak havoc in Filiche's consciousness.
In just an instant, he felt dizzy and disoriented, clearly having his spirit seized by the tiger's roar.
His vision blurred, and his consciousness plunged directly into darkness, temporarily losing perception of the outside world.
The violent energy contained within the tiger's roar even began to frantically destroy his body, attempting to instantly annihilate him, to destroy him on the spot.
The energy shield that tightly enveloped the spaceship now became a mere decoration, completely unable to resist any attack from the tiger's roar.
This tiger's roar seemed to be a completely different kind of attack than they understood, arriving in an instant and launching the most ferocious assault on them.
Caught off guard by such a fatal attack, these Cosmic Beasts surrounding Lin Tianwei had no time to prepare and could only rely on their powerful Cosmic Beast bodies to endure it.
The stronger Cosmic Beasts were fine; although severely wounded, they were ultimately not in danger of dying.
The weaker Cosmic Beasts were extremely unlucky, dying on the spot.
This incident also taught them a lesson: in their next life, they would absolutely never again do such a foolish thing as surrounding Lin Tianwei.
It was only because Filiche was cautious enough, and his position was very far from Lin Tianwei, which greatly weakened Lin Tianwei's tiger roar attack.
Otherwise, just this one tiger's roar would have been enough to kill him, whose strength was only Cosmic Level One.
Sometimes, if one's own strength is not strong enough, watching the battle from afar is also a sin, and one can easily die from an unknown AOE.
Although he lost perception of his body, a strong will to survive still made Filiche make the correct choice at this critical moment.
As if by instinct, his body moved, pulling out a Mental Power weapon from his storage space.
Driven by Mental Power, this Mental Power weapon instantly transformed into a shield, protecting Filiche.
A few breaths later, Filiche barely recovered from Lin Tianwei's tiger roar attack, regaining consciousness.
He looked in Lin Tianwei's direction with lingering fear, unable to comprehend why Lin Tianwei, facing such a terrifying encirclement, not only didn't choose to surrender but instead took the initiative to attack them.
Not only that, but the method of attack was so bizarre, catching the beasts completely off guard.
The power was even more horrifying, almost instantly killing Filiche, who just a moment ago felt he had the upper hand.
After the lingering fear came resentment.
A cold light flickered in Filiche's eyes as he stared intently in Lin Tianwei's direction.
The shadow of death enveloped his heart, and fear spread. Filiche no longer cared about maximizing profits and roared hoarsely:
"Full attack, full attack!"
"I gave you a chance. By refusing me, you are practically courting death."
Threatened by death, Filiche at this moment had only one thought: to directly kill this hateful Cosmic Beast in front of him.
However, at this moment, no Cosmic Beast responded to Filiche's command, because Lin Tianwei's second tiger's roar had already been unleashed.
He had never told these Cosmic Beasts he had surrounded that he could only unleash one tiger's roar.
In fact, Lin Tianwei hadn't expected his tiger roar attack to be so exceptionally powerful.
After all, this was an area-of-effect skill, and when spread out, its power would decrease by countless times.
Yet, even with the tiger roar's power reduced by countless times, Lin Tianwei's eyes still quickly flashed with dozens of system prompts.
In other words, in that brief moment, he had already completed the killing of dozens of Cosmic Beasts.
Although he didn't acquire any useful Talents, it did increase Lin Tianwei's quantity of Talent fragments.
These Cosmic Beasts were simply trash beyond Lin Tianwei's imagination; he never expected that even before he fully exerted himself, the so-called army had already suffered losses of over thirty percent.
Perhaps this was the power of different Talents combined effectively.
Like a chemical reaction, it rapidly reacted, unleashing power far exceeding the original Talent level.
Lin Tianwei instantly realized, no wonder he saw shadows of many Talents in the Mythical Level Talents he acquired from the Star Devouring Beast Avatar.
Perhaps when his own Talents are correctly combined, he too can possess even more powerful Talents.
However, he was still in battle at the moment, so Lin Tianwei didn't have time to think about these complicated matters.
On the other side.
Filiche never expected that just as he barely fended off Lin Tianwei's first tiger's roar, the second tiger's roar would follow immediately.
Another powerful attack penetrated the spaceship's shield, striking directly at Filiche's consciousness and body.
The familiar tiger's roar sounded, and terrifying energy came again. Filiche, disregarding everything else, fully activated his Mental Power weapon.
It once again transformed into a solid shield, protecting him within it.
Although Filiche's Mental Power weapon was of extremely high quality, his own strength was simply too mediocre to unleash its full power.
At this moment, he was filled with regret, regretting why he hadn't found a bodyguard to protect himself.
Although this would cause him to be coveted by these Cosmic Beasts, it was still far better than dying an unexplained death.
The familiar dizziness struck again, and Filiche was pleasantly surprised to find that the second tiger's roar was vastly different from the first.
Its power was simply a whole tier lower.
Although he was still somewhat uncomfortable, he ultimately endured it, merely spitting out some tissue fluid, and a considerable amount of his flesh was torn apart.
Lin Tianwei's first tiger's roar was enhanced by the Talent: Charge Burst (Transcendent), making it the most powerful one.
The subsequent tiger roars, though still deadly, were ultimately not as strong as the first.
Despite being battered and disoriented by Lin Tianwei's tiger roar attack, Filiche was overjoyed.
Lin Tianwei's attack had begun to weaken, which proved that his strength was nothing special; that seemingly violent attack earlier was perhaps the result of him using all his trump cards and could not be replicated at all.
Sure enough, the subsequent third tiger's roar confirmed Filiche's guess.
Although this tiger's roar was not weaker than the second, it was clearly weaker than the first.
In other words, Lin Tianwei had now exhausted his tricks.
Thinking this, Filiche, feeling capable again, quickly shouted, "Leave the target with a breath!"
"He can fetch a good price alive."
This time, facing Filiche's urgent command, some Cosmic Beasts finally reacted.
Over seventy Cosmic Beasts, all at Cosmic Level Seven or above, had finally adapted to Lin Tianwei's tiger roar attack and maintained their state.
Facing Lin Tianwei, who had launched a sneak attack without martial ethics and left them in disarray, these Cosmic Beasts were also furious, and immediately manipulated their spaceships to attack Lin Tianwei.
These Cosmic Beasts were not only powerful themselves, but the spaceships they rode in also had impressive capabilities.
In a sense, a spaceship also represented the strength of a Cosmic Beast.
As attack orders were continuously issued, energy began to converge towards the muzzles.
After a brief Charge Burst, hundreds of energy beams quickly attacked Lin Tianwei.
If this strike landed squarely, Lin Tianwei might or might not be harmed, but the weaker Kai would definitely be riddled with holes.
However, Lin Tianwei was well-prepared for the counterattack of these Cosmic Beasts.
No matter how powerful the tiger's roar, it was merely an area attack. Since the first strike, enhanced by the Talent: Charge Burst (Transcendent), failed to eliminate the enemies in front of him, the remaining two strikes were even less likely to succeed.
The reason Lin Tianwei unleashed the remaining two tiger roars was merely to finish them off.
That's right.
Just to finish them off.
Although Lin Tianwei's first tiger's roar only killed dozens of Cosmic Beasts, it also left countless crippled soldiers.
Though they were still alive, they were barely clinging to life.
Lin Tianwei only needed to deliver another blow to complete the harvesting of their lives.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target."
"Ding, Talent extraction failed. The host has gained 1.38 million Talent fragments."
..."Ding, Talent extraction failed. The host has gained 2.75 million Talent fragments."
..."Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target."
"Ding, Talent extraction successful. The host has acquired the Talent: Simple Regeneration (Transcendent)."
"Ding, please confirm whether the host wishes to use this Talent."
"Simple Regeneration (Transcendent): A Transcendent Level Talent. When injured, one can quickly regenerate by recovering the origin and energy of the injured part, regrowing the injured part.
"Note: The part regrown through the Talent: Simple Regeneration (Transcendent) will essentially remain consistent with its state before injury."
Although the subsequent two tiger roars only triggered a dozen kill prompts, they allowed Lin Tianwei to extract a Talent, which could be considered good luck.
Simple Regeneration?
It was indeed simple; it even required recovering the origin and energy of the injured part to activate.
However, it was completely different from the Short Limb Regeneration Talent and Self-Healing Talent that Lin Tianwei already possessed, each having unique advantages.
The greatest advantage of Simple Regeneration was its ability to recover the origin and energy of the injured part.
Although a bit troublesome, it was the most energy-efficient regeneration method.
Moreover, due to the recovery of origin and energy, there was basically no impact on the body after regeneration was complete.
There would be no situation where the newly regenerated part was too new and required a period of adaptation.
It was still a decent Talent, so Lin Tianwei naturally chose to use it without hesitation.
However, if he knew that some Cosmic Beasts, with wild fantasies, actually used this Talent to engage in the business of selling body parts, he would definitely exclaim, "This is truly a beastly Talent!"
That's right.
Udo, whose strength was only Cosmic Level Three, ultimately couldn't withstand it and fell in Lin Tianwei's tiger's roar.
He considered himself extraordinary, but ultimately died the most ordinary death, under an unknown AOE.
He was already in a state of exhaustion, coupled with his weak strength. If he hadn't been positioned further back, he probably wouldn't have even survived Lin Tianwei's first tiger's roar.
Even so, he was severely wounded and fell under Lin Tianwei's second tiger's roar.
At the moment of death, the joy of surviving a catastrophe was even still on Udo's face.
He never expected that after delivering such a powerful blow, Lin Tianwei would still have the remaining strength to unleash a formidable second strike.
Although the attack power of the second tiger's roar was far less than the first, it was enough to finish him off, successfully killing Udo.
It brought an end to his sinful life.
Udo's death, or rather the death of most Cosmic Beasts, did not cause any ripples.
The universe is such a dangerous place.
When you are preparing to hunt a target, aren't you also becoming the prey of other Cosmic Beasts?
These surviving Cosmic Beasts would only care about how to kill Lin Tianwei, how to capture Lin Tianwei, and how to gain more benefits in this battle.
The death of some Cosmic Beasts was actually a good thing for them.
At least after this battle, they would acquire more spoils of war.
So their only concern now was how to kill Lin Tianwei.
Thinking this, they looked at the energy beams with anticipation,
Watching those energy beams densely intertwine, forming a terrifying energy net, launching a fatal attack on Lin Tianwei.
They only hoped that the opponent's strength wouldn't be too weak, and that he wouldn't be directly annihilated into dust by this energy net.
