Chapter 304: Chapter 6 Cloud Patterned Giant Tiger

Upon seeing this scene, Lin Jing was stunned, unable to comprehend what was happening.

Then, Lin Jing turned his head to look back at the slope behind him.

The Wolf King, which had been so fierce just moments ago, was now fleeing in panic like a frightened mouse, tails tucked between its legs.

The speed of these Green Wolves was not slow.

Before long, only Lin Jing was left here.

Of course, there were also the bodies of those dozen or so Green Wolves that had long since died.

With the crisis averted, Lin Jing finally exhaled a turbid breath and relaxed.

Afterward, he looked at the talisman in his hand.

It was only now that he realized the talisman in his hand felt somewhat off.

Lin Jing then turned over his wrist and saw what was on the back of the talisman.

This was the feather Huang Qingling had given to him.

“This feather…”

Lin Jing then remembered what Huang Qingling had told him about her true identity back at Qinghuang Palace.

“It seems that it must have been this feather that scared off those Green Wolves,” Lin Jing nodded slightly.

He held the feather and examined it closely.

The feather was light and its colors were dazzlingly brilliant, but that was all there was to it.

Yet, it emitted no aura whatsoever.

Lin Jing had originally thought that this feather was just a keepsake Huang Qingling had gifted him.

However, he never imagined that the feather would be so useful; as soon as he took out the feather, those Demonic Beasts fled helter-skelter.

But then again, it made sense.

Huang Qingling had also told Lin Jing that her true form was from the top-tier Phoenix Clan of the Demonic Beasts, and she was the most revered Divine Phoenix.

A feather left behind by such a top-tier Demonic Beast could intimidate these Demonic Beasts – that was an easy explanation.

Thinking of this, Lin Jing recalled the frightening experiences from a few days prior and couldn’t help but laugh at himself.

If he had taken out this feather sooner, he wouldn’t have had to go through so much trouble.

Knowing the use of the feather, Lin Jing felt much relieved.

First, he took out a cloth bag from his Storage Bag and cut a piece of fabric from it.

Then, he found a string and placed the feather inside the cut cloth, making it look like a sachet.

He hung the finished sachet around his neck.

After all this, Lin Jing took out the Flawless Sword and went over to the Three-Tailed Blue Wolf’s corpse to start collecting his spoils of war.

In short order, he had collected the Demonic Beast Inner Cores from these dozen or so Green Wolves.

Having done all this, Lin Jing rested for a while and then got up and continued on his way.

……

Time passed quickly, and two more days went by.

During these two days.

Lin Jing finally figured out the Divine Phoenix feather.

This Divine Phoenix feather was indeed the source of the Demonic Beasts’ fear.

Lin Jing conducted many experiments for this purpose.

When he walked through the dense forest with the Divine Phoenix feather, the Demonic Beasts would run away before he even got close.

Even those Demonic Beasts that were hibernating in caves were no exception.

However.

When he put away the Divine Phoenix feather and stored it in his Storage Bag, not only were the Demonic Beasts unafraid of him.

They would even take the initiative to launch sneak attacks on him.

And as soon as Lin Jing took out the Divine Phoenix feather, those Demonic Beasts attacking him would instantly flee in terror.

Even those at the Golden Core Stage were no exception.

“`

However, since Lin Jing had been moving along the edge of the dense forest all this time, he had not encountered any Nascent Soul Demonic Beasts, and therefore could not use them for experimentation.

He just didn’t know whether those Nascent Soul Demonic Beasts would also be so fearful of these Divine Phoenix feathers…

…

…

After several more days, Lin Jing was ready to venture deeper into the dense forest.

During this time, by sticking to the edge of the forest, he had not only reduced danger but also gained nothing.

Moreover, he did not know how large Immortal Crossing Island actually was, as he had been traveling for so long but felt like he was always moving in one direction.

When Lin Jing realized that he was on an island, he subconsciously assumed it was a small, circular island.

He believed that by following the perimeter of the island, he would eventually reach the other side.

However, he had been following the island’s edge this whole time yet had only been walking in one direction, never turning.

This made him start to doubt.

If this was happening, either the island was exceptionally large,

or the island was not circular but a connected rectangular one.

Thus, Lin Jing decided to enter the dense forest and try to cross through it.

In the past, the reason he did not consider this was because the depths of the dense forest were too dangerous.

But now, with the Phoenix feathers, Lin Jing thought he might be able to make his way through the deeper parts of the forest.

However, even with the Phoenix feathers, he still needed to be careful and cautious.

He couldn’t let his guard down and lose his life because of this.

If he were to carelessly lose his life, that would truly be a laughingstock.

After making preparations, Lin Jing checked the feather sachet again.

Then, he set off towards the deeper parts of the dense forest.

……

Walking in the dense forest, the deeper he went, the stranger the plants became.

For example, the giant trees Lin Jing saw upon entering, as well as the flowers as large as houses, were not present at the edge of the dense forest.

This time, his entry into the dense forest went smoothly, and it didn’t take even a day for Lin Jing to see bizarre plants again.

From the moment he entered, Lin Jing had not encountered a single ambush, not to mention ambushes, even those Demonic Beasts that had attacked him before had completely disappeared.

After bypassing a huge flower as large as a house, a vast field of strange flowers, each with a bud taller than a man, appeared before Lin Jing’s eyes.

These flowers were very vibrant, yet also very terrifying.

Their buds resembled huge pouches.

Without getting any closer, Lin Jing could clearly see undigested Demonic Beast carcasses hanging inside the walls of the pouches.

Seeing the large area of ‘Man-eating Flowers’ ahead, Lin Jing immediately decided to stop advancing and take another path to avoid them.

Although he had Huang Qingling’s gift of feathers that could deter Demonic Beasts, these ‘Man-eating Flowers’ were not Demonic Beasts and had no consciousness, so the feathers would probably be ineffective.

Then, Lin Jing slowly retreated and chose another direction to continue exploring.

After changing directions, Lin Jing walked for a while and came to a steep cliff.

Before he got close to the cliff, a tree tens of meters tall next to a cave on the mountainside suddenly shivered, and thereafter, a vine as thick as an arm dropped from the branches above.

Lin Jing’s heart tightened, and he became wary.

“Could it be that right after avoiding the ‘Man-eating Flower’ area, I’ve encountered a ‘Murderous Tree’?”

Lin Jing then stood still, extended his Divine Sense to probe ahead, and remained on alert, ready for any sudden attacks from the ‘Murderous Tree’.

However, when his Divine Sense reached out, a giant tiger with white cloud patterns on its body stepped out from behind the tree.

The whole thing had been the work of this Cloud Patterned Giant Tiger.

This giant tiger had a strong presence, even stronger than the ape-shaped Demonic Beast Lin Jing had encountered when he first arrived on Immortal Crossing Island.

But it was still far less formidable than the Golden Giant Eagle.

Clearly, it was also a Golden Core Stage Demonic Beast.

At this moment, the giant tiger bared its teeth and fixed its gaze on Lin Jing, while crouching low, as if ready to attack at any moment.
