It seemed as though the Saber-Toothed Tiger demonstrated human-like intelligence. Seeing Xiao Hua standing with her sword, it was first shocked, then the surrounding tigers spread out, encircling Xiao Hua in the center.
Immediately, the one facing Xiao Hua pounced forward. As it reached her, it flicked its head, its saber-like tusks slashing down at her neck like a real sword.
"Damn, this Saber-Toothed Tiger even knows combat moves," Xiao Hua thought, as she raised her heavy sword to meet the attack. With a clank, their weapons met. The tiger's eyes showed surprise and pain. Using the rebound force from the heavy sword, it twisted its body and its tail swept towards her with a whoosh.
