169: Taming the Silver Nightmare Tiger

"Wow, there are so many exotic beast corpses here! I really want to go snatch them!"

Wang Chiyao's eyes were burning as she stared at the battlefield, her mouth watering.

So many exotic beast corpses, how many evolution fruits would that generate?

Her heart was currently itching like a cat's.

"Chi Yao, don't be impulsive!"

Wang Ledian shivered, quickly stopping Wang Chiyao's dangerous thought.

"Looking at this situation, if we go down there, we'll be blasted to smithereens in minutes!"

The strength of both sides on the battlefield was too powerful; going down to collect corpses now was too risky.

The slightest carelessness would result in being targeted by both sides.

"Let's go to the main peak first."

Lin Xingyu patted the Dark Fiend Dragon's head.

The main target this time was the heart of the earth. Taking advantage of the great battle between the two sides was the perfect opportunity to sneak into the main peak.

Once the heart of the earth was found, then other things could be considered.

The Dark Fiend Dragon understood, immediately flapping its wings and soaring into the sky.

It carried everyone around the battlefield and flew towards the main peak.

Thanks to the Dark Fiend Dragon's excellent stealth ability, neither side on the battlefield noticed their presence... In the temporary command post within the Goblin camp.

Several Legion Commanders were gathered, discussing the next battle plan.

"That bunch of idiots in the council! The Empire will be ruined by them sooner or later!"

The Second Legion Commander angrily slammed the table.

The Central Mountain Range was the lair of exotic beasts, and new exotic beasts joined the battle every day.

Yet, the Goblins not only received no reinforcements but also had a Legion transferred away.

Ever since the Fifth Legion was transferred, they had made no substantial progress.

Now, they were even firmly blocked in the valley by the exotic beasts, unable to advance an inch.

If this continued, they might return empty-handed.

The main peak was right in front of them; if they retreated now, wouldn't all their previous efforts be in vain?

"The Empire has been at peace for too long..."

The First Legion Commander's eyes flickered with an inexplicable light.

Ever since the Empire's unification, those people had been immersed in peace and prosperity, long having lost their ambition.

Facing a racial war, the council was always hesitant.

In his opinion, only by going all out and concentrating all forces to take the Central Mountain Range could they gain a glimmer of hope.

Just then, a deputy officer ran in, his face full of excitement.

"Greetings, Legion Commanders, great news!"

"The Empire will send the newly formed Eighth and Ninth Legions to reinforce the Central Mountain Range!"

He knew the Legion Commanders were worried about troop strength, so as soon as he received the news, he immediately ran to report.

According to the received information, a terrifying enemy had infiltrated the Empire... This prompted the council to change its strategy and choose to go all out.

Regardless of the reason, this was good news for them.

The arrival of new reinforcements would surely break the current stalemate!

...On the other side.

Lin Xingyu and his group successfully bypassed the battlefield and arrived near the main peak.

Just as they were about to approach, they suddenly felt an immense pressure sweeping towards them.

"Oh no, someone's attacking!"

Wang Chiyao shouted, instantly entering combat mode.

But she scanned her surroundings and saw no sign of any enemy.

"Haha, you don't even know this? This is a Forbidden Air Domain!"

Wang Le burst into laughter.

This guy just knew how to eat all day, didn't he ever read the news?

Many special places in Secret Realm had such Forbidden Air Domains.

This belonged to the power of heaven and earth, irresistible by human force.

Clearly, the mountain in front of them was such a place.

"You..."

Wang Chiyao's face instantly flushed red.

"Let's go, we'll go down."

Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Lin Xingyu hurriedly spoke to stop them... Two hours later, in a dense forest.

Lin Xingyu and his group had just killed a group of one-horned pigs and were cleaning up the battlefield.

One-horned pigs were a type of lightning-attribute exotic beast, with considerably strong attack power.

The single horn on their heads was even a rare lightning-attribute Materials, worth a lot.

"Why are all the exotic beasts here so unconventional?"

Wang Ledian touched the single horn and immediately shivered from the electric shock.

Ever since they set foot on the main peak, they had encountered an endless stream of exotic beasts, all of which were uncommon in the outside world.

Winged tigers with two wings on their backs, golden-scaled wolves covered in golden scales, and even scorpion-tailed lions with huge scorpion tails...

"It's indeed not normal."

Lin Xingyu also noticed this.

It was estimated that there was something nearby that could cause the exotic beasts to mutate.

However, before he could think much more, he heard Wang Chiyao's shout.

"There's something over there!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a silver-white figure swiftly flashing through the dense forest ahead.

Silver Nightmare Tiger

Rank: Fourth Rank Nine Star

Introduction: A rare tiger-type exotic beast that can use nightmare power through its vertical pupils, and even enslave enemies.

"Everyone, be careful, don't look into its eyes!"

Seeing the information panel, Lin Xingyu immediately shouted a reminder.

However, it was too late.

Just as everyone was looking intently, a cold vertical pupil suddenly appeared in their field of vision.

In an instant, Wang Ledian and the others fell into a daze.

Even Lin Xingyu felt a wave of dizziness.

Just then, a System prompt sounded in his mind.

"Ding! The System detected that the host was subjected to Mental Control, defensive mechanism activated."

Golden runes surged from Lin Xingyu's eyes, instantly merging into the Silver Nightmare Tiger's vertical pupil.

Accompanied by a scream, the Silver Nightmare Tiger curled up on the ground, trembling all over.

"Ding! Counter-attack successful, congratulations to the host for acquiring a Slave!"

As the System counter-attacked, Wang Ledian and the others also returned to normal.

"Holy crap, that was too terrifying just now!"

Wang Ledian clutched his chest, still shaken.

He had a long dream just now, dreaming that he lost his spirit seed and was abandoned by everyone...

"Ah, it scared me to death, thankfully it was fake!"

Wang Chiyao's face was pale, having also experienced a bad dream.

Even Li Hongyang, usually silent, now had red eyes...

"Drink some water, and relax."

Lin Xingyu handed each of them a bottle of spirit spring water.

Nightmare power was essentially an illusion, capable of evoking deep-seated fears in people's hearts.

They must be restless at this moment.

The few of them took the spirit spring water and drank it down.

A cool sensation spread throughout their bodies, washing away the lingering fear in their minds, gradually restoring their spirits to normal.

"That's too evil, what kind of exotic beast is this?"

Wang Ledian let out a long breath, his face gradually recovering.

Only then did the few of them remember the culprit, and they all turned their gaze to the Silver Nightmare Tiger not far away.

This was a silver-white giant tiger, completely free of any雜色.

Under the gentle breeze, its fur was like flowing mercury, truly beautiful.

It didn't have the character "王" (king) on its forehead, but rather a cold vertical pupil.

Feeling everyone's gaze, it lay down, indicating submission.

Seeing this, Lin Xingyu nodded in satisfaction.

The System treated exotic beasts and humans equally; as long as Mental Control was used on him, it would be countered and converted into a Slave.

He waved at the Silver Nightmare Tiger, calling it to his side, and while stroking its fur, asked:

"Do you know where there are treasures nearby?"

Since the Silver Nightmare Tiger was a "local tiger," it must be very familiar with these situations.

Having it as a guide would be much faster than searching aimlessly on their own.
