Manual of the Monster in City

54 Promise

Master Lin did not expect at that time that he had been guarding the forest for so many years, and every plant and tree seemed to be very familiar.

    But that day, he heard the tiger in the forest actually speak. It tore through the meat and cooked roast chicken he had brought and enjoyed the gift from an old friend.

    It seemed to be thinking about it, but then, like a human, let out a long sigh.

    Finally, I spoke to him in human language, sounding majestic and vicissitudes of life, as if from an old man. Suddenly, he saw the fierce light from the beast in its eyes.

    "You bring them here. I will give them the warning they deserve, and I will let them retreat when they are in trouble, and let them never hit this forest again." It said, "I am old, I can help There is only so much done in this forest."

    These last words, like a gentle stream of water, flowed into Master Lin's heart.

    He is also very old, he can only do so much for this forest.

    Is it right? Or is it wrong?

    Master Lin didn't know, but he finally nodded.

    "Then, let's make an agreement." The tiger stared at him and said, "But unlike the human agreement, if you make this agreement, you must complete it. I will take away your left little finger, which is your body. Part of it, but also part of the soul."

    Master Lin didn't say anything, he stretched out his little finger towards the tiger.

    This scene and action made him feel familiar as if he was a child. Whenever he agreed to play with someone next time, there would be such a ceremony. The childish voice read "Hanging on the hook for a hundred years, no change", As if it really won't change, even if the adults don't take it there, they will try their best to make trouble, just because they have made that promise.

    Immediately afterward, he remembered his father's rough hands and remembered that his young self was led by his father into this forest for the first time, and he came here to meet those animal friends and tree friends. Finally, he agreed with him. Say.

    ——"When you grow up, I will continue to take care of this forest for my father. Will you play with them?"

    --"it is good!"

    ——"Then we pull the hook. The hook will not change for a hundred years."

    ——"Hanging on the hook for a hundred years will not change." The childish voice and father's voice reverberated in the same place.

    The distant memory slowly dissipated before my eyes.

    The white-fronted tiger looked at him and sighed:

    "Forget it, Lin." It couldn't remember his long name, so it kept calling him Lin and his last name. As if using this title, it seems that he is also a part of this forest and one of the heirs raised by the forest. "To be honest, I don't want to drag you into that situation."

    "No, this time it was completely voluntary." Master Lin clenched his fist and said. "After all, they were the first... they did too much. Whatever happened before or what happened now. I think we are the same."

    He stared into the tiger's eyes, something in his eyes surging like a high tide.

    "The world is changing too fast. Sometimes I feel that we are all left behind by the times..." Master Lin said, "I just want to do something with my own strength. I think if I don't do anything, It's too late."

    He sent his outstretched little finger to the tiger.

    "Then, our agreement—" Tiger opened his mouth, and he only felt a sharp pain coming from the end of the base of his little finger, and the sharp pain almost swallowed him.

    Blood gurgled from the severed finger, and the pain made his body unable to stop twitching.

    "The agreement is reached," said the tiger, and it opened its mouth wide, and its saliva mixed with threads of blood flowing out. Master Lin did not see it swallowing, nor did he see his severed finger in its mouth, as if the little finger had disappeared miraculously.

    At the same time, something invisible and intangible is quietly generating somewhere.

    "So... what should I do?" Master Lin asked. "They won't believe it easily."

    "I will continue to hurt people. As long as the situation gets worse, they will be dead horse doctors." Tiger said, "Lin, I don't want to drag you into the water. You bring them into the forest, other things. I will solve it."

    ————

    The sound of a tiger roar pierced the calm forest as if the calm lake was suddenly shattered.

    Between the trees, I saw a huge brindle tiger slowly pacing out. Seeing such a scene, several construction workers were immediately frightened and weakened their legs, and backed away.

    "Don't be afraid. It won't hurt people. Don't show hostility, please trust me." Master Lin said loudly, but now that he said this, and seeing that they all believe in himself so much, his conscience hurts. .

    Kneeling in front of the altar with incense candles and sacrifices, his palms lightly patted in front of him a few times, and the sound became clearer and clearer like an ancient bell ringing in a temple.

    The executives sent by Gopher Company were quite courageous but did not retreat in panic when he saw this situation-in fact, it would be difficult for him to escape in front of a tiger even if he turned around and ran away.

    The supervisor also knelt down, patted his palms in front of him, closed his eyes, and looked at each other for a while, then quickly knelt down and repeated the same movements.

    it's time.

    He said this to himself in his heart, and also said to the tiger in his vision.

    When his little finger was bitten off, and when the tiger said "agreement reached" to him in human language, he felt something quietly formed, that is, this strange... feeling.

    It seems to be some kind of strange telepathy, the tiger can hear his heart, and he can also hear the tiger's instructions to him as if it is a kind of soul-level connection.

    It's time... That's it, go to the liquidation.

    In the current situation, as long as the tiger leaps high and pounces at them, absolutely no one can escape the tiger's mouth...

    Just leave the rest to it. No one can blame him, and no one can blame such a fierce tiger who was angered by nature. As if all these are punishments from nature...

    In that case, everything will be over, and the destruction of the forest will be stopped.

    "Be careful!" Jia Qingming's shout came from a distance. He ran all the way to the present, out of breath.

    "Go back, it's dangerous!" Su Qiang's angry female voice, she and Jia Qingming came together.

    But for a short while, there was no time for them to react. They just turned their heads subconsciously when they heard the sound, and stood still on the spot as if they had been shocked.

    At this moment, the tiger lowered his body slightly, as if making a pounce...

    It's still too late.

    ————

    Tiger hole.

    A pair of Lingning canine ears grew on top of Xiaobai's head, and the tail of Lingning behind her was also shaking with excitement. A thick baseball bat was waving in her hand, and the hardwood material brought strong winds.

    The guy facing her was a huge white-fronted tiger, but it was not a ferocious beast that could be seen everywhere.

    In addition to the tiger's power and power as the king of beasts, a powerful aura shrouded its body, a clear aura.

    It rushed towards Xiaobai quickly, and its huge claws collided with the hard baseball bat in Xiaobai's hand. If there were no auras in Xiaobai's body, I am afraid that a weapon of this level would be in an instant. Shattered in response to the flanking blows of both sides.

    The tiger kicked the club, leaped up into the air, and got rid of the stalemate. Xiaobai took the opportunity to leap up and attacked like a dragon fist and attacked the tiger's soft abdomen-despite the aura. It’s blessings, but here is still its weakness in the copper skin and iron bones.

    But the tiger's speed was faster, and quickly passed Xiao Bai's head, making her attack missed. When it landed, the whiptail swept across, bringing a strong air current to Xiao Bai's leg that had just landed.

    Xiaobai chose to take the blow, and the tiger's attack hit her calf. At the same time, the club in her hand turned down and hit the tiger's body. Aura trembles violently on the surface of the shock, Xiao Bai grabbed the tiger's tail hitting her body with one hand, and directly threw the body weighing hundreds of pounds aside as if throwing a very light object casually. Like.

    The tiger's strong body slammed into the rock wall of the cave, and bursts of rubble splashed out because of the powerful impact. Accompanied by it, there was finer rubble, which instantly obscured Xiao Bai's sight.

    Suddenly, after the loud crash, the place fell into a strange silence.

    In the smoke and dust, a dark shadow grew deeper and deeper, and finally broke a hole from the curtain formed by the dust, and the tiger opened his blood basin and rushed towards her.

    The tiger's pounce and Xiao Bai's attack kept ramming into one place. Although there are muscles, the feminine arms that look a bit feminine are in sharp contrast with the tiger's strong muscles, but the aura makes these two powers. Fighting fiercely, not giving way to each other, every blow has an aura that follows the body, making a fierce impact in the air, sputtering sparks invisible to the naked eye.

    The two moved faster and faster, and they kept hitting one place, making a sound of power collision in this cave.

    In a short period of time, the two sides have completed nearly a hundred fights. The muscles on Xiaobai's arms are tight, and the slender arms are slightly bulging, and the tiger also began to snorting thick white air.

    Xiaobai suddenly let out a cheerful laugh:

    "Haha! Have a good time!"

    "In fact, your power is much higher than mine, I'm afraid it will make people laugh." Tiger lowered his head slightly.

    Xiaobai walked over and rubbed the tiger's head like a big cat...

    "This matter," Xiaobai suddenly serious, "please stop here."

    "That's natural, since some incredible people have stepped in, this is indeed beyond my ability." Tiger said.

    "It's good for you to think so." Xiaobai smiled satisfied. "Humans are animals that keep moving forward. One day they will look back and see the mistakes they had to make in the past, and one day they will sincerely make up for them, but now they can only keep their feet on the ground."

    "I'm old. So being forgotten and being violated by them is no longer an intolerable thing. At least it's much better than being locked up for viewing... Besides, this time, I brought a human friend into the water. , I didn't expect me to be so impulsive." It said mockingly.

    "You have given birth to spiritual wisdom and transformed into a demon. Unfortunately, you are already very old when you are transformed, and you can't bring you much life. Just cherish this god-given time." Xiaobai said. Deputy White Fang smiled. "So, if the young and strong didn't work hard, the boss suddenly became a demon and it was a sorrow."

    "Hey, don't change the proverb indiscriminately." The tiger growled dissatisfiedly, "Then, what happened over there..."

    "Don't worry, I've taken care of it." Xiaobai put the baseball bat on his shoulder, "So, how many more rounds shall we play?"

    "That's a trivial matter. But," the tiger's eyes suddenly sparkled with a certain firm light. "There is one more thing I must finish."
