The jungle was huge.

Even from high up in the sky, where the Giant Eagle had taken him just a moment before, Ye Bei couldn’t tell where it began and where it ended.

Similarly…

The trees and some other plants were also quite huge.

Hiss hiss…

Coiled on the damp ground, Ye Bei opened his mouth, but as a python, he could only stick out his forked tongue instinctively.

His scarlet eyes stared at the gigantic white-furred tiger.

He sensed its strong predatory intent… and knew, simultaneously, that the tiger had set its eyes on him. It was practically impossible for him to escape.

Flap! Flap! Flap!

In the jungle, the birds scattered with a constant rustling sound.

Occasionally, a few tree leaves snapped and fell, landing on Ye Bei, but he didn’t dare to move a muscle.

He focused all his attention!

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

The Mutant White-furred Tiger’s movements were slight, and when it walked, its feet stepped on the thick layer of fallen tree leaves, producing a crunching sound.

“A Mutant Sabre-toothed Tiger has been detected! Consuming it will result in 3000 Evolution Points! Warning: Mutant Sabre-toothed Tigers are extremely dangerous. Their giant fangs can tear steel apart. A reminder to the Host to please be careful…”

Ye Bei’s eyes widened.

His erect body remained motionless, and he resembled a thin, bizarre-looking tree trunk.

He didn’t even seem to process the System’s voice, which resounded in his mind.

Crunch! Crunch!

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

It was getting nearer!

Only another hundred meters to go…

Wham!

Finally, Ye Bei watched as the Tiger picked up its pace and charged through the jungle. The many plants that blocked its path were crushed to the ground with a huge rustling sound.

“Roar!”

At that same moment, the tiger released a deafening roar.

The sound was so loud that the whole jungle shook. And with a rustle, all the leaves on the trees surrounding Ye Bei and the Tiger dropped like rain.

Whoosh!

Soon, the tiger sped like a bolt of silver lightning and charged over in Ye Bei’s direction.

This was how cruel Mother Nature could be.

The only relationship that existed between creatures was that of predator and prey. This Mutant Tiger clearly treated Ye Bei as a mouthwatering meal. Its blood-red eyes and open mouth, which was dripping with saliva, betrayed its desire and intent right there and then!

Of course, the only reason Ye Bei had ignored the System’s voice was because his mind was consumed by a single thought!

Eat it…

Eat it up! Eat it up!

So long as he ate the Mutant Tiger, he would be able to undergo another round of change.

Just like he had when he had consumed the Mystic Pearl the unknown Giant Snake had given him when he’d come out of his shell!

As for how this tiger had mutated, and why all the plants in this jungle looked so much bigger than usual, Ye Bei couldn’t care less! Consuming the Mutant Tiger was his first and only priority.

It was getting nearer!

Fifty meters!

Thirty meters…

Roar!

The Mutant Sabre-toothed Tiger opened its mouth wide, and a stench filled the air. One roar after another continuously erupted from its mouth.

At the same time, it extended its claws!

Judging from the situation, it seemed like the tiger intended to pounce over and tear Ye Bei’s body apart.

“The venom has been fully refilled! My body is over three meters in length and almost 15 centimeters in girth. In an upright position, I’m exactly 1.5 meters tall. From this distance, I can easily bite the tiger’s neck! As for my body… the System already said that as long as the injury isn’t fatal, I won’t die!”

Seeing that the Mutant Tiger was almost upon him, Ye Bei started running calculations through his mind.

At the same time, that very instant, he maintained his calm like never before…

This match was a matter of life and death, and he couldn’t afford to be careless.

Ten meters…

Roar!

The tiger continued to roar.

It seemed that it wanted to use its roar to distract Ye Bei.

Crunch! Crunch!

The tiger stomped its legs on the ground, crushing a large number of twigs and leaves, and the crunching sound reverberated throughout the entire jungle.

Five meters!!!

Whoosh…

The tiger sped so fast that all its fur stood up. And as its body brushed against the wind, a whooshing sound rang out in the air!

Ready?

One meter…

Ye Bei suddenly glared at it!

His red eyes looked like they were full of blood.

Hiss! Hiss!

Venom filled his sharp fangs so completely that a small dark drop leaked out from the tip of each tooth.

Rumble rumble…

At last, the very next instant, the Mutant Tiger reached Ye Bei’s side. With his mouth wide open and his sharp saber-teeth exposed, he bit hard on Ye Bei’s body…

Crunch…

As the tiger bit him, Ye Bei felt his body go numb, and the intense pain caused him to momentarily lose consciousness.

A sense of impending death began to envelop him.

He couldn’t die! He absolutely couldn’t die! His current evolution had only just begun!

Sheer will kept Ye Bei going.

Disregarding the amount of blood that was splattering all over, Ye Bei, with his last ounce of strength, pierced his venomous fangs through the Mutant Sabre-toothed Tiger’s coat of fur at the same time the tiger was tearing him apart. He injected all his venom right into the tiger’s neck.

Roar! Roar!

The original gruff roar was a lot more subdued this time around.

Initially intending to use his sharp claws to tear Ye Bei apart a second time, the Mutant Tiger gradually lost its strength as the venom pumped through its veins.

After Yei Bei had undergone the evolution, the potency of his venom had also increased tremendously.

Poisoning a tiger to death was naturally not a tall order for him!

Roar! Roar! Roaaa…

The tiger’s roars grew quieter and quieter. Finally, they became nothing more than a guttural sound in its throat.

Rumble…

He bit into the Mutant Sabre-toothed Tiger’s neck and refused to let go.

Only when the venom had caused the Mutant Sabre-toothed Tiger to lose its strength and fall to the ground with a thud did Ye Bei slowly loosen his jaws…

Having been bitten by the Sabre-toothed Tiger as well, his body was almost cleaved into two, and the ground was covered with blood.

Right then, his consciousness slowly began to slip away.

However…

Eat it up! As long as you eat it up, you’ll be fine!

That very message kept replaying in his mind… Relying on his last remnant of strength, Ye Bei fought hard to open his mouth wide and took a bite from the Mutant Sabre-toothed Tiger… As the first mouthful of flesh entered his mouth, the almost lifeless Ye Bei suddenly opened his eyes!

With that piece of meat, an unparalleled sense of strength entered his body!!!

What…what was going on?

This tiger was certainly extraordinary!!
