Chapter 40: The Radiant White Tiger

  Time passed for three more days, and a group of people arrived at the foot of a low cliff.

  "How is this place!" Francis asked the three of them, in front of whom was a spot that backed onto a mountain body, which was quite good for blocking wind and rain.

  "Not bad, I'll have Aeolus make a few holes in the mountain wall later, and it'll be ready to move in! " Di's touched the mountain body, very hard, so there's no need to worry about collapse!"

  "These past few days, we've already encountered quite a number of 8th-tier magical beasts! I reckon we're now in the territory of the Holy Beasts." Francis took a look around and found that the environment wasn't bad. There weren't many trees nearby, so it was quite spacious, which would also make it easier to move about.

  "Yes! I've encountered many very powerful demons! They're all delicious!" Dorothea chimed in, poking her head out from behind Francis.

  Francis shook his head with a wry smile, this little girl could eat more than him. These days, every time they encountered a demon beast, she would say that her stomach was hungry, and then sleep after eating, and eat again after sleeping. Her appetite was surprisingly good. He handed Deloris a magic core, and Deloris happily accepted it, putting it in her mouth and biting down. This was also discovered just two days ago, the "candy" Deloris mentioned was actually the magic core of demon beasts. However, Francis was afraid that she would have poor digestion, so he only found some low-level magic cores for her. As for high-level ones, if she ate them and couldn't digest the energy inside, things would become serious.

  "If that's the case, then this place will be our base. I can sense a water pool behind the mountain, and it's not bad here." Dis turned to face Aiolos and said, "Release the Six Senses Small Universe, this land is likely to be a Sacred Tier Magic Beast's territory. Rather than waiting for it to discover us, we should take the initiative and make it come over. The territorial awareness of magic beasts is very strong, and with just a little provocation, it will probably come on its own! My small universe has already reached seven senses, so I estimate that if I release it, that guy will run away."

  "This is not a trivial matter! Please hand it over to me!" Eriol responded casually, and the small universe of the Six Senses ignited, his body shining with golden light, waves of fighting spirit radiating out in all directions.

  "A distant roar echoed through the air... It seemed that the demonic beasts on the territory had sensed Aiolos' provocation."

  "Just now, I saw that magical beast along the small universe, it's a tiger! A saint-level tiger-type magical beast!" Eilos said, withdrawing his own small universe and opening his eyes.

  "Oh! Tiger, the beast king! I wonder what the tiger in Monster World will look like!" Francis is really looking forward to it. "If I don't find a suitable light-system monster in Monster World, wouldn't that be a waste of time? I've spent a long time practicing contract signing!"

  "Master, is what's written in that book of yours really useful?" Dais asked suddenly. The last time Francis showed them the book was when he dug it out from the treasure manual, which recorded some strange and unusual things, including one about making a contract with magical beasts. However, Dais and Eriol were not very interested in this, but Saber was very enthusiastic and followed Francis to learn about this contract.

  "Ah! No problem, as long as I can defeat a magical beast on my own and conquer it with my strength!" Francis still had confidence in his abilities, he was determined to find a Holy-ranked magical beast to be his magical pet.

  "Rooooaaaar!" The sound was getting closer, Francis looked ahead, many birds were startled by the anger of the lord of this territory and flew out of the forest.

  "Roar!" A white figure flashed by, appearing in front of a group of people. It was an all-white tiger.

  This white tiger's body length has already exceeded four meters, the most obvious being that its entire body is covered with black stripes, and the stripes extend to the forehead, presenting a "king" character. The eye sockets have striking black stripes made of hair, looking majestic and powerful. Golden pupils, paired with sharp canine teeth in the mouth, a swishing tail, and a regal demeanor.

  "What a big white tiger! I want it! Dolores wants to ride it! Mom, I want!" Dolores saw the elegant and majestic white tiger in front of her, and for once didn't say she wanted to eat it.

  "This is...!" Francis gazed at the white tiger in front of him with delight. "It's a Holy White Tiger! Ah, this magical beast is of the Light attribute. This all-around type of magical beast paired with me, a mage, couldn't be better! This magical beast is exactly to my liking! What good luck, I came and it was exactly the magical beast I wanted!" Looking at the tiger, Francis really liked it. In his previous life, tigers were known as the "King of Beasts", always representing power and nobility. The Holy White Tiger in front of him was a Sacred-tier magical beast, looking majestic and powerful, its strength naturally wouldn't be weak either.

  "Mommy!" Delores grabbed Francis' hair and pointed at the white tiger in front of them: "Delores loves it so much!"

  "She's really my daughter, just like Dolores! I love this monster too!" Putting Dolores down from behind and handing her over to Saber "Stay here, mom will go catch it for you!" Francis also tacitly accepted the title of 'mom', as long as Dolores was happy.

  "Lia, thank you!" These past few days, it's been Saber who has been helping to take care of Dorothea, making Francis feel a bit embarrassed.

  "Don't worry! Young master, I'll protect the young lady well! However, you should be careful, this demon beast doesn't seem weak!" Saber said as he held Dolores in his arms and warned Francis.

  "It's alright! I may still struggle a bit with the Divine Rank, but this Sacred Rank is no problem!" Rubbing Deloris' head "Be good and listen to your sister's words!"

  "Uh-huh! Mommy's gotta hurry!" Dolores said obediently, hugging Saber's neck.

  "Dis, don't intervene! I'm going to make a contract with this demon beast!" Francis walked in front of the tiger, gave it a slightly provocative look, and beckoned to it with his index finger: "Big cat! My name is Francis, and from now on, I'll be your master!"

  Looking at the line of people in front of him, a hint of surprise flashed in his golden tiger eyes - they were actually humans! What were they doing here? Didn't they know this was the Beast Kingdom? However, seeing Francis's provocation, Guangming Huo felt a surge of anger! He was also one of the lords of the Beast Kingdom, and yet a weak human dared to provoke him (Francis currently looked like a 5th-tier mage).

  "Humans, I don't know what you're doing here! But your actions have enraged me! Let me tell you something..."

  Baihu's words were cut off halfway by Francis. "You're the demon beast! I thought it was some old geezer! What's with all this nonsense? Let's get started already, I'm getting impatient!" Francis gazed at Baihu with burning eyes, having not fought in a long time.

  "Roar!" Hearing Francis' provocation, the White Tiger couldn't hold back anymore and directly pounced on Francis. It seemed like it wanted to tear Francis apart.

  Francis dodged the white tiger's pounce by a hair's breadth, thinking to himself: "Speed is indeed fast! But it's just that, and it can't hit me!" What a great opportunity to try out my new magic. He pulled out his wand from his waist and fired off a holy light bullet, followed by a light arrow spell. However, the two spells had little effect, directly hitting the white tiger without even causing a reaction!

  "Humans, don't waste your effort. Your light system magic is too weak for me, who is also of the light system! It's not even enough to make me itch!" The White Tiger looked at Francis' staff with disdain, and although the mage in front of him was not slow, he hadn't used his full strength either.

  "Is that so!" Francis put away his staff, his magic still didn't work! Looks like he needs to put in more effort next time. Looking at the white tiger not far away, Francis clenched his fists and took off the gloves on them "Actually, I've been wanting to try this out for a long time, can my fists really kill a tiger?"

  "Roar!" Hearing Francis' words, the white tiger let out a loud roar in annoyance. Francis quickly covered his ears, this sound was really loud, no wonder they said the tiger's roar could be heard throughout the mountains and forests.

  White Tiger took advantage of Francis's momentary distraction and pounced on him, but was easily dodged by Francis. Again, with a burst of speed, White Tiger's front paws swiped at Francis, who sidestepped to the left and right, avoiding each attack with ease. Finally, with a swift movement, Francis leapt into the air, dodging White Tiger's sweeping tail attack.

  Looking at Francis standing still, unscathed, the White Tiger was shocked: How is this possible! He started dodging before I even made a move, my actions seemed to have been anticipated by him!

  "It's not like that, it's completely see-through!" With the help of his keen senses and overbearing aura, Francis easily dodged the White Tiger's attack.

  "What? You can see through my mind?" Guang Minghu was startled and jumped in fright. The person in front of him actually knew what he was thinking in his heart.

  Francis didn't respond, but instead smiled mysteriously and said "Who knows?! Try again a couple of times and you'll find out!" Francis's tone was still far from being able to see through people's hearts, this was just a simple guess, but it ended up provoking the White Tiger.

  The white tiger stood still and didn't move, Francis's ability to see through people's hearts had scared it!

  Looking at the White Tiger standing still, Francis sneered and said: "Being so timid, doesn't it shame the character on your forehead?" As he spoke, his figure flashed, and he charged directly at the White Tiger.

  The white tiger saw Francis rushing over and didn't retreat, compared to humans, the strength of a magical beast was naturally stronger. Francis himself rushed up just as he had intended, directly raising his front paws and pouncing on Francis, seemingly wanting to use his own strength to crush Francis.

  "That tiger isn't stupid after all! It's just a pity that it actually compared strength with the young master!" Eilos sympathetically gazed at the white tiger, which seemed to be unable to escape the young master's grasp.

  "Bang————!" In the unbelievable eyes of White Tiger, Francis's fist was one step ahead, steadily hitting White Tiger's chin. With Francis's height, he could only reach that far. White Tiger only felt a force like a thousand pounds coming from under his jaw, and his head was a bit dizzy, his four-meter-long body uncontrollably rolled over in mid-air, directly crashing to the ground, with a thread of blood flowing out of his mouth.

  The white tiger raised its head and looked at Francis: Is this guy in front of me really human?
