Chapter 148
Chapter 148
To release the frustration in his heart, Xiao Feng didn't use his special abilities throughout the process, instead hacking at the zombies one by one with his blade.
It seemed only this way could he feel slightly better.
The four people and the scorpion spread out within a certain area, killing zombies in different spots.
Yun Xiaoxiao had just finished killing a zombie when she suddenly heard a noise from her side.
She turned her head to look and saw a big creature standing inside the glass enclosure, watching her.
Its fur was a mix of yellow and black, its tail as thick as a giant whip, with a large "king" character on its forehead.
If its body had been more robust, it would have looked incredibly fierce.
But at the moment it was skinny and bony, clearly starved.
Looking around the enclosure, there were fake mountains, trees, grass, and a pool.
But the trees and grass had been mostly stripped bare.
This must have been done by the big tiger when it had nothing to eat.
It was pitiful - a carnivore forced to become a herbivore.
Although the tiger was very thin, its gaze was majestic. Just standing there, it exuded a strong sense of pressure.
It glanced at Yun Xiaoxiao, and Yun Xiaoxiao calmly looked back at it.
The two just stared at each other like this.
Suddenly, the big tiger flopped down on the ground, scratching its face with its paw and making a low whimpering sound like "ying ying ying".
Was it... acting coy?
Yun Xiaoxiao felt like she'd been struck by lightning.
Where was its dignity?!
Where was its ferocity?!
You're not a little kitten, why are you pretending to be weak!
Her mouth twitched as she took out a piece of meat from her spatial storage.
"Do you want to eat this?" she asked, dangling it.
The tiger immediately jumped up, looking at the meat with expectant eyes, again making that strange "ying ying ying" sound.
Only this time, the sound was clearly much more excited.
Yun Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched again.
Where had that majestic, kingly tiger from earlier gone!
Her eyebrows trembling, she tossed the meat inside.
The tiger immediately let out a roar, pouncing on it with swift and agile movements.
In the blink of an eye, the meat had been swallowed.
Seeing its nimble form, Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes brightened.
She had originally thought that the tigers raised in this zoo had lost their original nature and ferocity.
But in that brief moment, she seemed to have glimpsed the king that ruled the forest.
As Yun Xiaoxiao was thinking this, the big tiger came back to the glass.
It stared at her intently.
As if to say, give me more, give me more, that wasn't even enough to fill a tooth gap.
Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered, a hint of mischief flashing in their depths.
"I can give you food, but you have to come with me and be obedient. Can you do that?"
Yun Xiaoxiao held a chicken in her left hand and a duck in her right, coaxing like an animal trader.
The big tiger nodded without hesitation.
Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes immediately lit up.
This tiger really could understand human speech!
She had suspected as much when it was whimpering and acting coy earlier.
She didn't expect it to actually understand human nature!
Could it be that this was also an animal that had mutated early, like Little Cutie?
Puzzled, Yun Xiaoxiao threw the chicken and duck inside.
In a short while, the big tiger had another good meal.
She took out Lord Slasher and swung at the glass.
After two strikes, the entire pane shattered instantly.
The tiger lifted its paws and walked out step by step.
Of course, Yun Xiaoxiao didn't let her guard down, still staying alert.
If the tiger showed any sign of aggression or tried to bite her, she would cut it down with one strike.
When the tiger was about a meter away from her, it lowered its head slightly, as if waiting for her to pet it.
Yun Xiaoxiao held the knife in one hand and tentatively placed the other on its head.
Seeing that it really didn't resist, Yun Xiaoxiao then rubbed it a few times.
Then she took out some more meat for it.
The tiger was clearly starving and ate it all, not leaving a single scrap.
Just as the tiger was walking towards Yun Xiaoxiao, Nie Yizhou came over from the other side, on high alert.
He shouted, "Kid, be careful, there's a tiger!"
Then he saw the big tiger nuzzling Yun Xiaoxiao's shoulder with its head.
It looked as docile and obedient as could be, even more well-behaved than some house cats.
Nie Yizhou was stunned: @#$%...
"Kid, what's going on here?" Nie Yizhou asked, mouth agape.
"Don't tell me you've tamed another tiger?"
Yun Xiaoxiao shrugged, "Don't be jealous, you can't match this."
Nie Yizhou: !!
He really wanted to hit her!
Could this kid be any more smug!
It's really irritating!
But he really did envy her luck.
First, she had a scorpion that could change size and had incredible fighting power.
Now she had a majestic... well, currently skinny, but surely to be majestic in the future, big tiger.
Although envious, he wasn't jealous. Instead, he was happy for Yun Xiaoxiao.
Her strength was indirectly his strength, after all. They were on the same team.
Suddenly, a black figure ran over quickly.
It was Little Cutie!
It stood on Yun Xiaoxiao's other side, arching its body with its stingers raised high, glaring vigilantly at the big tiger.
As if facing a formidable enemy.
Nie Yizhou crossed his arms, lips curled in amusement.
Haha... this would be interesting to watch.
"Little Cutie, this is... your new companion. From now on, you'll be brothers? Sisters? Brother and sister?"
Yun Xiaoxiao frowned, realizing she didn't know their genders.
Caught between pondering and verifying, she chose to be casual.
"Never mind, just get along well from now on."
Little Cutie looked at her with a pitiful expression.
As if it were an abandoned little darling.
Yun Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched, "Well... you're unique in my heart."
Little Cutie immediately cheered up.
It raised its head proudly, looking smugly at the big tiger.
The tiger snorted, its eyes seeming to hold a hint of disdain.
Little Cutie was instantly provoked.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Yun Xiaoxiao quickly intervened.
"Alright, you two behave. No arguing or fighting, or the one who breaks the rule goes hungry for a meal."
Little Cutie and the big tiger immediately deflated.
They glared at each other one last time before refusing to look at each other again.
Yun Xiaoxiao: ......
Hmph, quite the tempers they had.
When Ling Jing and Xiao Feng saw the petite Yun Xiaoxiao with a tiger almost as tall as her by her side, they were both stunned for a moment.
"Little one, how did you tame it?" Ling Jing pointed at the big tiger.
Yun Xiaoxiao smiled, "Of course... with meat."
Who doesn't love meat?
There's nothing a piece of meat can't solve.
If not, then use two pieces.
"Have you given it a name?" Ling Jing asked again.
Yun Xiaoxiao rubbed her chin, glancing at Little Cutie.
Suddenly, inspiration struck, and she smiled.
"How about we call it Big Beauty?"
The eyebrows of Nie Yizhou and the other two twitched in unison.
This name certainly matched her style.
Little Cutie, Big Beauty, they sounded like a family at first hearing...
(After seeing the names everyone suggested, they all had their own characteristics. Thank you all for actively giving suggestions, I love you guys.
In the end, I decided to use 'Big Beauty', as it feels like a good match for Little Cutie. Thanks to Fufeng.
To those whose suggested names weren't used, don't be sad. This was just a little naming game, we'll play again when we have the chance~)
