Chapter 170: Deadly Sprint
Shen Luo didn’t utter a word, but positioned his body in front of Ying Luo, his hand hidden in his sleeve, already clutching the half-moon ring.
The Heaven Devouring Tiger cocked its ears and slightly pulled at the corner of its mouth, its mannerisms eerily human-like, brimming over with clear contempt.
“The Mad Leopard excels in ambushes and escapes. Last time, my claw failed to land a fatal blow, so it managed to run away. I never expected it to die at your hands. What a useless creature,” The Heaven Devouring Tiger lifted one forepaw and licked it while saying this.
Shen Luo thought of the scratches on the face of the Mad Leopard, realizing that they were most likely from this tiger demon. Considering the demon’s strong evil aura and formidable presence, far surpassing the Mad Leopard, Shen Luo felt a tightening in his chest and carefully shielded Ying Luo, pulling back a little bit.
“Are you from Longevity Village?” The Heaven Devouring Tiger asked, a gaze of appraisal falling upon Shen Luo upon asking this.
“Yes”, replied Shen Luo even though he did not completely understand the tiger’s intentions, and after a slight hesitation.
Hearing Shen Luo’s answer, the head of the Heaven Devouring Tiger lowered ever so slightly, a hint of nostalgia even seeping into its words as it spoke:
“Leave the Demon Pellet here, and you can go…”
Upon hearing this, confusion flashed in Shen Luo’s eyes.
