"Haha, USD5,000 to remove some curse you put on me?" Lucas grew annoyed, he can't help but to rebuke the shameless system.
"Of course, just that I would be the prey they all are fighting over for... 😞"
<... You are a damn useless host...>
"Shut up..." Lucas shushed the system and walk towards a certain direction after placing the remaining meat into his storage. He could hear a familiar voice , meters away, its... Its his long-lost pal...
Behind the bushes, an elegant snow-white tiger was laying there, enjoying his daily suntanning session before the sun sets while lazing around. Its ears twitch for a while, seemingly heard something, but then return to his daily routine again. Lucas has been very careful about the sounds he made, with the [Rabbit's ear lv1](recently level up), he managed to train his footsteps to be so quiet that he could sneak attack on many animals along the way, including those horned rabbits.
It wasn't until he 10 meters away from the tiger that he decided to show himself, shocking the tiger. "What the... Oh, you my descendant? You scared me, how long have you been hiding there? Those eyes and such a handsome look... 😍, 🤗 no mistake about it, yes young'un what do you want? What brings you here boy?" The white tiger stretched his body and move towards Lucas slowly and imposingly like an elder giving advice.
"Oh? Pal, don't remember me?" Lucas questioned with a fierce glare. "Hmm? Why are you speaking like that idiot a few days ago? Has mankind really deteriorated to such an extent that even you, the descendant of frost tiger family can't speak the beast language? What's with that fierce look?"
"Hahaha, at least you remembered me. Let's duel again, this time, our roles will reverse." Lucas immediately charges forward with his spear, taking the tiger by surprise. However, this tiger has lived for thousands of years, he is an experienced fighter, so he can easily dodge such a messy attack. "Hey who are you, why are you attacking me?" The tiger was at a lost.
'[Dragon's Roar]' Suddenly, the tiger felt a weight has been placed on his back, but with those muscles, such weight meant nothing, enough to be ignored. *attack **dodge**attack**dodge* As the fight continues, the situation turns worst for Lucas.
<[Dragon's Roar lv0 (1/10)]>
'[Dragon's Roar lv0 (2/10)]'
'[Dragon's Roar lv0 (3/10)]'
...
'[Dragon's Roar lv0 (10/10)]'
<[Dragon's Roar lv1 (0/100)]>
'[Dragon's Roar]'
Suddenly a faint dragon image appears behind Lucas. So faint that if you don't focus, you may never notice it.
"Aaah!" The tiger is finally pinned down. "Dra...dragon's roar? How can my descendants know the dragon's roar?!? Are you a spy from the dragon race? Didn't all four of our races sign a peace treaty long ago? What's the meaning of this?"
"*pant* *pant* finally! Haha, what's this? This is revenge! I didn't really believe when the dragon prince said that they have a treaty with the other creatures, this makes me wonder, what are the two more species that also signed the treaty. Is it the turtle and the bird?" (4 mythological creatures of China: the Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermilion Bird of the South, the White Tiger of the West, and the Black Turtle of the North.) *Stab* Lucas dealt the final fatal blow. The confused eyes of the tiger slowly dimmed.
"Hmm... The skill is great, I can avoid many high leveled creatures and bluff my way through, but I'm not sure what level the skill is capped at, if it's capped at level 5 then, it would be stupid to upgrade that. It can be increased over time too, no point rushing it. [Beast Language] on the other hand... I only know I can gain experience point if a beast shows interest in me... Both are not a pleasant experience😭 I don't want to think about them. System, max [Beast Language] immediately! "
