Si tracked it to the place where the White-Eyed Tiger was hiding.
It was a place with decent scenery.
Only, it seemed there were others who had found the White-Eyed Tiger before her.
"Roar!"
The White-Eyed Tiger growled lowly.
The sound was like a drum.
The warning intent was very clear.
But hearing the White-Eyed Tiger's roar, that group of fellows didn't flinch at all. Their front legs were stretched straight, their bodies lowered, and whines came from their mouths. Their entire bodies radiated a reckless, suicidal, and crazed aura.
It was a pack of wolves.
The wolf pack surrounded the Tiger King.
They had cornered the Tiger King by the river.
The terrain here was narrow.
There was only one path.
It was easy to defend but hard to attack.
At the end where the Tiger King was cornered was the river.
It really found a good spot.
Si didn't know if this pack of wolves knew that White-Eyed Tigers could swim.
On the surface, the Tiger King seemed to be at a disadvantage, being the one surrounded.
But the actual situation was completely different.
The truth of this situation was that the Tiger King held the initiative instead.
Because the White-Eyed Tiger had the Swimming skill, once it encountered a situation it couldn't win, it could rely on its speed advantage to jump into the river behind it and retreat by water.
So, rather than saying the wolf pack had cornered the Tiger King...
It was more like the Tiger King had intentionally lured the wolf pack here.
This fellow actually understood tactics.
And for this tactic, Si couldn't think of a way to break it for a moment.
What a clever beast.
Are the monsters in this world too troublesome?
Si didn't have any crowd-control skills; she only had Flash, which provided a tiny bit of control.
She herself had many shortcomings now.
For example, low HP, thin defense, and slow speed.
In this situation, once the White-Eyed Tiger chose to flee, it would be impossible for her to stop it.
The only chance was that very first strike.
She had to decide the outcome with the first blow, or at least incapacitate the White-Eyed Tiger. If she couldn't do that, she shouldn't even think about defeating the White-Eyed Tiger in this kind of terrain.
But for now, please let her observe from the side.
Si narrowed her eyes and looked at the wolf pack surrounding the Tiger King.
The lead wolf had fur that was darker than the ordinary Moon-Devouring Wolves, and its size also looked larger. However, blending into the pack, there was nothing particularly conspicuous or eye-catching about it. If it weren't standing at the very front, one might not even discover that it was the King of the pack.
"That is the Greedy Moon Wolf King."
She used Appraisal to obtain information on the Wolf King.
Its level was 14, and its average abilities were around 300. Among its skills was a special racial skill called Pack Dominance, which was a racial skill that could only be obtained after a Moon-Devouring Wolf evolved into a Greedy Moon Wolf King.
Si hid nearby.
Neither the Wolf King nor the Tiger King was able to discover the existence of this third party.
She did, after all, possess both the Concealment and Stealth skills.
If she could still be discovered by these monsters like this, wouldn't she have wasted her skill points?
As long as she didn't do anything stupid, wanting to hide at this time without being discovered by these monsters was actually a very simple matter. While monsters certainly possessed detection skills like sense of smell, unfortunately, in the Stealth state, she could also deceive a monster's nose. As for the principle behind it, she didn't know that much detail.
Under Si's gaze...
The stalemate between the wolf pack and the Tiger King didn't last long before it was broken. The one to launch the first attack was the Tiger King. Its speed was still incredibly fast; one simply couldn't see its movement trajectory at all. By the time one's vision blurred, it had already completed its move. The wolf targeted didn't even last a single round before being pinned to the ground by a claw and killed instantly. It was clear that the strength of a serious White-Eyed Tiger was no joke.
If the White-Eyed Tiger had used this kind of strength when dealing with her back then, she would probably have started her next reincarnation by now. Or maybe she would have gone straight to the underworld. All in all, Si swallowed hard and muttered to herself in her mind: "I absolutely must not give it a chance to launch an attack. If I can't stop it, I must immediately use Shadow Step to hide in the Shadow Space; otherwise, I will definitely be insta-killed by that kind of speed and power."
Thanks to the Wolf King in front of her for giving her a reminder.
If she hadn't seen this scene today, perhaps when her strength grew later, she would have become overconfident and subconsciously forgotten about this matter for a moment.
There would be no medicine for regret for her then.
She constantly warned herself that she must never be careless.
Life in another world must be navigated cautiously, step by step.
Although she didn't know if there would be another chance for reincarnation, she acted with the determination that there would be no next time, so she had to be meticulous in everything she did.
The Wolf King let out an "Awoo" howl.
In the next moment, Wind magic was activated.
The magic power between the wolves intermingled. Si couldn't help but widen her eyes; she hadn't expected that magic could be used like this, and that such exquisite technique would actually appear on monsters.
One by one, the Moon-Devouring Wolves connected their magical power through the element of wind, ultimately forming a super-scale magic—a raging storm. Endless winds enveloped the Tiger King, transforming into invisible wind blades that attacked from all directions. Once caught within this magic, there was no room for evasion. Even the Tiger King couldn't break through this move.
Si cast an Appraisal.
She obtained information about this magic.
Skill:
"Isn't this way too strong?"
Si swallowed hard.
If she were to encounter this move, she definitely wouldn't survive.
The damage range was so vast.
And there was no way to dodge it.
Shadow Step couldn't nullify magic damage.
Moreover... the Moon-Devouring Wolves seemed able to ignore the damage effects of this magic.
They possessed quite advanced wind element resistance.
This was truly an eye-opener.
So this is what high-level magical beasts are like?
Looking at it this way, the White-Eyed Tiger, aside from having slightly higher base stats, couldn't compare to the Moon-Devouring Wolves at all.
Si didn't know.
The Greedy Moon Wolf King was actually a higher-level magical beast than the White-Eyed Tiger.
Although the White-Eyed Tiger had the advantage in attribute values.
The Greedy Moon Wolf King was an evolved magical beast, while the White-Eyed Tiger was still in its original version.
After evolution, the Greedy Moon Wolf King possessed many powerful exclusive skills.
The White-Eyed Tiger's racial talent was indeed strong, but ultimately, it was just a beginner-level magical beast. Sometimes, having overly powerful bloodlines wasn't necessarily a good thing, as it required a higher level for evolution. That's why the White-Eyed Tiger still hadn't been able to evolve.
Just as Si thought the White-Eyed Tiger was about to lose.
She noticed the situation suddenly took a new turn.
Because the originally magic-inept White-Eyed Tiger, after whimpering in pain from its injuries, suddenly had a surge of wind elements appear on its body surface. She hurriedly used Appraisal and discovered that the White-Eyed Tiger had gained wind magic and wind element resistance skills. Its skill points were rapidly disappearing, all converted into its own strength.
"Magical beasts actually know how to use skill points?!"
Si felt suffocated.
She had never known such crucial information.
Because those magical beasts she killed in one hit had never used skill points.
Moreover, she had seen some magical beasts with plenty of skill points but never using them, thinking their brains couldn't comprehend the wonders of skill points and the system. Who would have thought it wasn't like that at all? Magical beasts could use skill points? Oh my god, this revelation hit her so hard she was almost scared out of her wits.
