"Finally done!" After several hours of busyness, Jake had finally dug a large hole about three meters deep. Inside the pit, he had also filled it with tree branches sharpened with a medicinal shovel. It must be said that the medicinal shovel Clark gave him was truly amazing. It could be used for gathering herbs, fighting, digging holes, and even served as a knife. It was simply a rare treasure.
"After this mission is completed, I want to get this shovel from Clark." The mission was not yet complete, but Jake was already set on keeping the medicinal shovel for himself. He was just so satisfied with it. With the trap set up, the next task was to lure the monster.
Jake quietly approached the vicinity of the colorful fierce tiger once again. As expected, the tiger was still there, lying in the same spot without moving for several hours. It seemed determined to guard the Violet Flame Fruit with great vigilance.
"Fortunately, I don't intend to waste time with you, but instead, I've prepared a trap for you," Jake murmured to himself as he looked at the colorful fierce tiger.
Afterward, Jake once again used the identification skill on the colorful fierce tiger. As expected, just as Jake had predicted, the tiger immediately woke up from its deep sleep right after the identification skill was used. It looked around with a vigilant expression.
This time, Jake didn't hide anymore. Instead, he stood up and taunted the colorful fierce tiger, saying, "I'm here! Come on, you big beast! Come and catch me!"
After saying that, Jake turned around and ran. As expected, a roar sounded from behind him, shaking the entire forest, and causing many birds to take flight.
Jake's heart trembled suddenly. Indeed, he was right in thinking that he was no match for the colorful fierce tiger. The tiger had only roared once, but it made his heart race, and he became extremely nervous. If it came to a direct confrontation, he would probably be killed instantly.
Fortunately, Jake didn't make that foolish decision. Instead, he had prepared the trap. Jake ran ahead, and sure enough, the colorful fierce tiger chased after him from behind. It was incredibly fast, ignoring the grass, shrubs, and small branches in the forest, crashing through them recklessly as it pursued Jake, leaving a trail of destruction behind.
"Oh my, it's so fast?" Jake glanced back and was instantly shocked. Although he had already learned from the limited information obtained through identification that the colorful fierce tiger was highly agile, he didn't expect it to be this fast. Its speed was several times faster than Jake's. Luckily, Jake had provoked it from a distance and immediately started running. Otherwise, it might have caught up to him by now.
Jake dared not look back again. He turned his head forward and ran with all his might, exerting every ounce of strength. He could feel the powerful pressure from behind getting closer and closer, as if it would crush him at any moment.
"Almost there! It's almost there!" Jake looked at the marks he had made near the trap, a flicker of excitement flashing in his eyes. The colorful fierce tiger's speed was truly astonishing. Jake could even sense the scent of blood emanating from its mouth, which made him even more nervous.
Fortunately, Jake finally managed to hold on until he reached the side of the trap. He circled around it and quickly returned to the original path. In just a split second, the colorful fierce tiger had closed the distance and was less than five meters away from Jake.
The colorful fierce tiger was naturally unaware of Jake's plan and continued to chase him in a straight line. "Thud!" As expected by Jake, he heard the sound of a fall behind him. Then came the sound of spikes piercing through flesh and the roar of the colorful fierce tiger. However, this roar was not as imposing as before, but filled with anger.
Jake stopped and walked back to the side of the trap, looking at the trapped colorful fierce tiger. The tiger also looked at Jake, constantly roaring, seemingly wanting to tear Jake apart.
"Come on, if you dare! What's the use of just roaring?" Jake stood on top of the trap, looking down at the colorful fierce tiger with a smug expression.
At this point, the colorful fierce tiger looked extremely miserable. Its body was pierced by the sharp and pointed branches that Jake had prepared, blood flowing continuously. The tiger tried to struggle out of the trap, but with each struggle, the pain from the branches increased, causing more blood to flow.
However, the colorful fierce tiger was still ferocious. Despite its torn and battered body, it continued to struggle and tried to attack Jake. Its fierce eyes made Jake's heart tremble.
Jake was afraid that it would break free and jump up to attack him, so he quickly lay on the ground and used the medicinal shovel in his hand to strike the tiger's head. The tiger was slow to react or dodge, instead raising its head and roaring at Jake, which allowed Jake to strike it.
It must be said that the life force of the colorful fierce tiger was quite tenacious. Even though its body was torn and battered, blood covering the ground, Jake had to attack with the medicinal shovel for about half an hour before finally managing to kill it. In the end, Jake was exhausted and gasping for breath.
"Fortunately, I didn't plan to fight it head-on earlier. Otherwise, I'd be done for," Jake thought. With the help of the trap, he fought for a long time. If there hadn't been a trap, he couldn't even imagine the outcome.
Of course, this also had to do with Jake's low level. A level 2 against a level 10, the difference in strength was too great. Jake's attacks probably couldn't even break through the tiger's defense. The colorful fierce tiger was killed through attrition. Anyway, the tiger was dead, and that meant he could obtain the Violet Flame Fruit.
"Huh, the body of this colorful fierce tiger hasn't disappeared." While resting next to the trap, Jake noticed that the body of the colorful fierce tiger inside the trap had been dead for a long time but had not despawned. He was instantly filled with excitement. Then, he reached down a bit, extended his hand, and the tiger's body indeed entered his backpack.
Obtaining a body of the colorful fierce tiger, Jake was already quite satisfied. He was about to leave when he noticed something sparkling in the pit.
Equipment drop? Jake was overjoyed. He had previously thought that in this world, monsters didn't drop equipment. But now it seemed that he was wrong. It wasn't that they didn't drop equipment, but rather the drop rate was very low. He had killed many low-level monsters before and didn't get a single drop, but now this level 10 colorful fierce tiger had given him his first piece of equipment.
Jake quickly jumped down. Many of the branches in the trap had been broken by the fierce tiger, so there were still some places to stand. After entering, Jake immediately picked up the equipment.
