Chapter 336: She Of All Tigers
"What if he was just playing a prank on me?" Oliver asked himself as he walked slowly through the trees with a nervous expression on his face.
He was in his humanoid form, naked and looking like he was ready to pounce on anyone who tried anything funny.
His antlers glowed softly with the powers of the forest flowing through his body and into the antlers in his head.
With the antlers, he maintained a soft level of control and awareness in the forest, this was his own way of seeing what his eyes could not see, a way to avoid being ambushed.
He could smell it already, the presence of another terrifying tiger.
On his way here, he had passed through the territories of other tigers. The owners of most of them were far more eager to engage in a fight with Oliver just because he was within their territory without their knowledge.
Luckily, Oliver wasn’t dropped on the head and knew that he had to admit defeat before the fight even started. That was how he was able to pass through those tigers unscathed.
It was a very annoying tradition, yet, even he would not allow another average tiger to cross his territory without consequences.
One could imagine how chaotic and frustrating it was for tigers who did not live near a water source. They would have to cross other tigers repeatedly during the week just to drink water.
Only the Magus Tigers had it a little bit better as they were able to innovate a better way to do things. They were even willing to put aside their solitary culture so that they could come together to work on a method to elevate the tigers.
Unfortunately, those at the top liked to keep things interesting. Even though the tiger race in the peach valley looked fractured and displaced, they still had some unifying body that came together to make decisions for the general whole.
This governing body was not decided by a popularity contest or something else, it was decided by strength and strength alone. As the tiger was the strongest, he would be the leader.
