Chapter 845, The Boy and the Long Toothed Four Eyed Tiger

*Splish splash…*

*Patter! Patter…*

A tremendous downpour arrived without warning, with raindrops the size of beans continuously striking leaves and rocks, producing crisp, resonant sounds.

From the acoustic signature of the falling droplets, one could determine this was an exceptionally heavy rain, as if someone in the Heavens held a basin and poured water downwards.

The vast primitive forest immediately became shrouded in a curtain of rain, transforming the landscape into a hazy, fog-laden expanse.

However, this scene possessed its own peculiar beauty, with light green, deep green and tender yellow leaves swaying in the rain mist.

The greyish tones formed by the rain mist added a layer of mysterious colour to these natural hues.

This moment resembled a magnificent oil painting, compelling one to linger and observe.

Of course, this perspective belonged solely to Su Bai. Others harboured no appreciative feelings whatsoever towards this downpour.

For some Tribes, this might represent a moment of brief respite.

However, for certain individuals, this downpour could prove fatally dangerous.

Because once heavy rain commenced, they would lack sufficient time to store food.

Or perhaps today they might go hungry, as such torrential rain made hunting in the forest impossible.

Though these seemed minor concerns for most, for one person in the forest, this downpour represented a lethal threat.

Beneath a Broad Leafed Tree, an eighteen-year-old boy huddled, trembling.

The Broad Leafed Tree, as its name suggested, possessed extraordinarily wide leaves, each measuring approximately two metres in both length and width.

The leaves of such trees represented a common choice for Warriors entering the forest when encountering rain, as their exceptional width prevented water from penetrating.

Many wild beasts and Ferocious Beasts would also select these trees for shelter during rainfall, as they provided critical protection.

“It is yet to be the rainy season. Why has it started raining?” The boy fearfully raised his head towards the sky.

He could only glimpse fragments of the sky, with the remainder obscured by the dense canopy of broad leaves. Occasional droplets slowly descended through gaps in the foliage.

The boy curled up as tightly as possible. His attire was extremely thin, wearing only a short Animal Hide covering his lower body.

He possessed brown hair, though it was particularly long. The boy also had brown eyes, not especially large, but appearing quite spirited.

A small mole marked the left side of his nose, with the remainder of his features not particularly distinguishing him from ordinary people.

The mole on his nose provided the most distinctive identifying characteristic, while his nose itself was quite prominent.

His body appeared extraordinarily fragile, evidently having gone without food for several days, with his ribs clearly visible in stark relief.

*Splish splash…*

The rain continued falling relentlessly from above, showing no indication of cessation, while the boy remained curled in his position.

He was cold and hungry, these two sensations continuously intertwining. His previously spirited eyes gradually began losing their vitality.

*Roar roar roar…*

Suddenly, a series of bellowing sounds erupted, extraordinarily resonant, not diminished even by the pitter-patter of rainfall.

[A Ferocious Beast?] The boy immediately grasped a spear from the ground.

He no longer remained curled up, instead adopting a half-crouched position, gripping the spear tightly with one hand.

His brown eyes began scanning the surroundings and overhead. At this moment, the sensation of approaching danger intensified.

“I haven’t eaten anything, it’s raining now, please don’t be a difficult opponent.” The boy muttered to himself.

Though rain fell heavily from above and he felt extremely cold, he did not hesitate in the slightest.

He understood that hesitation would prove useless. If he did not rise to resist at this moment, he would likely become a meal in the Ferocious Beast’s belly.

The boy continuously endured the bone-chilling cold while simultaneously monitoring for a Ferocious Beast that might pounce at any moment.

His transformation from sheltering posture to defensive stance occurred in one fluid motion, clearly not a recent development.

*Roar roar roar…*

The Ferocious Beast’s roaring continued unabated, though this time the sound drew considerably closer.

The boy felt even greater oppression. His back pressed tightly against the tree trunk, his brown eyes widened to their maximum extent.

Water droplets sliding down his forehead might have been sweat or rain, but they clearly indicated his intense nervousness.

One could determine this from his exceptionally tight grip. Were the spear not sufficiently robust, it might well have been crushed.

“Please don’t be a large Ferocious Beast, and especially not a Speed Type Ferocious Beast, otherwise I truly will die.” The boy clenched his teeth.

He had experienced numerous similar scenarios previously, though none had occurred during rainfall.

Most encounters happened either during sleep or while searching for food, when he could still choose to flee or hide. Now he could only confront the threat directly.

*Splish splash…*

*Patter patter…*

*Roar roar roar…*

The sound of rain striking leaves and the Ferocious Beast’s roaring resonated together, creating an oppressive atmosphere that would affect anyone.

This proved especially true for the boy who had not eaten, and who now felt extremely cold.

The primitive forest possessed this characteristic. One moment might be intensely hot, but during the evening or rainfall, temperatures would plummet.

Therefore, when entering the forest, one must prepare exceptionally thoroughly, otherwise the volatile weather could easily cause illness.

*Rustle rustle…*

A series of sounds indicated movement through foliage, these noises approaching the boy even more closely than the previous roaring.

“It’s coming.” The boy furrowed his brow.

*Roar! Roar! Roar!*

Three roars erupted as a Long Toothed Four Eyed Tiger leapt from the undergrowth.

Its blood-filled maw opened to bite towards the boy, while a pair of sharp claws rapidly descended upon him.

“Damn, it’s a Ferocious Beast with both speed and strength.”

The boy instantly recognised an extremely challenging situation, immediately moving his body away from where it pressed against the tree trunk.

*Crash!*

A tremendous destructive sound erupted as the Long Toothed Four Eyed Tiger’s sharp claws struck the tree trunk.

The trunk immediately developed a gaping hole. The Long Toothed Four Eyed Tiger’s pounce missed, but it immediately pivoted to launch another attack.

Everything occurred in a lightning-fast sequence. The boy’s reactions proved equally swift. Upon leaving the tree trunk, he moved to another tree.

This time he demonstrated greater intelligence, directly leaping into the tree’s branches. However, this proved ineffective.

The Long Toothed Four Eyed Tiger pounced again, this time breaking the branch where the boy stood.

The boy once more narrowly escaped. He had already begun panting heavily, clearly demonstrating the adverse effects of not having eaten.

*Roar! Roar!*

The Long Toothed Four Eyed Tiger had evidently become enraged, emitting tremendous roars as it prepared to launch another attack.
