Fishing the Myriad Heavens

Chapter 245: Tiger King!

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

Bei Feng was still sitting at his same position, not moving a single muscle as the tiger pounced towards him. From the perspective of Jiang Ranran and Ji Wuxie, the weirdo was obviously scared silly. His death was imminent.

But as the huge tiger reached Bei Feng's side, the most unimaginable thing happened, which caused Jiang Ranran and Ji Wuxie's mouth to drop in a most dramatic fashion.

"Wuu!"

The incomparably ferocious tiger was no different from a large kitten at this moment. It lay down beside Bei Feng, rubbing its face against his sleeves while purring affectionately.

Bei Feng chuckled lightly and rubbed the tiger on the head. The tiger snuggled even closer as a look of enjoyment came over its face. Its eyes had also narrowed into mere slits.

The tiger was extremely fluffy, and its fur was exceedingly smooth. It felt really nice to pet.

"Tiger King, you haven't left yet?"

Bei Feng placed an arm over the tiger's neck and lifted its head up to look at him. Smiling lightly, he decided to give a nickname to this tiger.

"Wuu, wuu!"

The tiger looked back at Bei Feng dumbly, not understanding his words. It thought that Bei Feng was playing with it and stuck out its tongue in a cute manner to lick the back of his hand.

Bei Feng could feel a slight prickling sensation on his hand. If it was an ordinary person, their hand would be covered with small scratches by now!

The tiger's tongue was covered with numerous tiny hooks. That was how they licked the meat off their prey's bones!

Bei Feng rubbed the huge tiger on the head hard in revenge. With a move of his intent, a small fiery red snake gall the size of a thumb appeared in his hand.

Although the snake gall was small, it contained the purest essence of the lava python! This Grade 2 lava python gall would be quite useful even for Evolved Jing masters!

A sweet fragrance wafted from the snake gall, accompanied by a thick musky bloody smell. The tiger's eyes went completely rigid as it eyed the treat before it.

Both its eyes were staring straight at the gall, and its head followed Bei Feng's hand with desire.

But before Bei Feng threw the gut to it, it did not dare to snatch the gall no matter how tempting it looked. Drool rolled off the sides of its massive jaws as its eyes went teary. At this moment, it was looking up at Bei Feng like it was a poor, hungry abandoned kitten.

Seeing this, Bei Feng could not help but to laugh aloud as he tossed the snake gall into the air.

As though it had been waiting for this moment the entire time, the tiger jumped into the air almost immediately after Bei Feng tossed the snake gall up. With a snap of its jaw, the bitter gall was swallowed directly into its stomach.

"Is this tiger a pet of yours?"

Jiang Ranran hobbled over with the assistance of Ji Wuxie. The tiger lying on the side still scared them very much, but they still moved towards Bei Feng resolutely.

Bei Feng smoothed the tiger's fur and answered absentmindedly, "It's not."

"Ah?!" Jiang Ranran exclaimed. She was completely lost for words. Seeing the tiger behaving so intimately towards Bei Feng, she wanted to ask him why he didn't mention that the tiger was his pet earlier. Now, four of their group had dispersed.

"Then why is the tiger so chummy with you?" Jiang Ranran asked with some confusion. This scene would usually only be seen at the zoo.

"Hm. Perhaps it's because I'm good looking..." Bei Feng thought for a while and answered honestly.

"Pu!"

Jiang Ranran looked at the serious look on Bei Feng's face and burst out laughing. But thinking that it was not too nice to behave like this, she forcefully stifled her laughter.

Jiang Ranran looked at Ji Wuxie next to her and back at Bei Feng as if considering something seriously. Then, she wrapped her arms around Ji Wuxie's. "You wanna give it a try as well? I think you're much better looking than him."

Now that the two of them had gone through a situation of life and death, they had unknowingly crossed an invisible line between them. Their actions were much more casual and intimate.

"Me? Forget it... Oh, right, let's quickly go and bring the rest back."

Ji Wuxie took one look at the ferocious claws and teeth of the tiger and shuddered involuntarily. He certainly had no wish to test the sharpness of the tiger's teeth for himself! Gulping a mouthful of saliva nervously, he hurriedly changed the topic.

Bei Feng scratched the tiger's ears lazily and looked at it with some fondness. "Tiger King, stay here obediently with the idiot bear. I'll come by again in the future. If you're still here, I can take you guys away with me."

Seeing Bei Feng getting up, it seemed to understand something. It placed a heavy paw on his shoulders, as if trying to get Bei Feng to stay.

"Grow up well. I hope that you will be stronger by the time I return."

Bei Feng thought for a while and took out ten Grade 2 lava python galls and placed them before the tiger.

Then, he turned and left.

"Hou!"

The tiger lay on the ground and roared pitifully. It was crying like a pet which had just been abandoned by its owner!

"Hey, what's your name?" Jiang Ranran asked as she hobbled behind Bei Feng.

"You can call me Bei Feng. Let's go."

Bei Feng did not turn his head as he replied. The Lido Ghost City campsite was just a short distance away.

"Wait! I've twisted my ankle, and my group mates are lost. Can we wait for them first before going?" Jiang Ranran called out in a hurry.

Bei Feng furrowed his brows and turned back. Seeing this, Jiang Ranran broke out in smiles. This person was not completely cold-hearted after all!

"Kacha!"

"AH!"

Right after she had that thought, Jiang Ranran realized that she had still overthought the matter. Bei Feng stooped down, grabbed the swollen ankle and snapped it back into place, causing Jiang Ranran to scream aloud.

"It looks fine, we can go now."

Bei Feng pursed his lips and turned back around. He had to hand it to these two. They were just two ordinary friends at first, but they were actually willing to give their lives for each other! This bag of dog feed... he'd swallow it willingly!

Jiang Ranran placed her weight on her foot and tried walking a few steps. Apart from a slight tingling pain, it did not hurt anymore. Seeing that Bei Feng was about to leave again, she could not help but to ask, "But what about our friends?"

"That's incorrect. Firstly, they are your friends, not mine. Secondly, let me put it like this. Assuming that they do not take the wrong path and are traveling at your speed, they would still need at least ten days to walk out of the deep regions of Shennongjia!" Bei Feng answered. "If you want to, you can follow me out first and then send a rescue team in to look for them. If they're lucky, the help might come in time to save them. Of course, if you two want to stay here and wait for your deaths, that's none of my business as well."

Bei Feng's voice drifted over, getting softer and softer as he walked further away.

Jiang Ranran and Ji Wuxie looked at each other for a moment before nodding. Then, not hesitating any further, they quickly ran after Bei Feng's departing back!

If they were alone, these two crazy youngsters might really decide to stay. But now, they had to consider the safety of the other person. None of them wanted the other to take a risk with them. In the end, they both chose to follow Bei Feng out.

Bei Feng walked in front at a comfortable pace, while Jiang Ranran and Ji Wuxie followed quietly behind.

If those two didn't follow him, he would really have left by himself. At the most, he would inform the police about them after exiting Shennongjia.

Once they started walking, they did not stop for any more breaks. By now, Jiang Ranran and Ji Wuxie's bodies had reached their limits. They were both exhausted and hungry.

The wild vegetables soup could only help to elevate their hunger temporarily. But at the same time, it lacked nutrition and caused them to go hungry even quicker!

But since Bei Feng did not seem to have any intention to stop, they could only trudge on after him weakly.

By the time they reached the top of the next mound, the two was greeted with an extraordinary sight. What was this situation? Why were there so many people gathered here in the middle of Shennongjia? Were they here for a mass outdoor party?

As they stood atop the small hill and looked over the plains, they could see every bit of flat land being covered with tents!

The biggest and most elaborate tent among them could even be compared to a bungalow in size! At this time, the campsite was filled with activity and the light from torches and bonfires.
