Chapter 2569 - 43: Dried Fish (Part 2)
Chapter 2569: Chapter 43: Dried Fish (Part 2)
The prison of the Monster Beast arena at night was pitch black and eerie.
Mo Hua navigated through the prison with ease.
Having worked as a laborer in the outer arena and served tea and water in the inner arena, he had long since become familiar with the entire layout of the prison.
Mo Hua moved through the prison, passed through a secret cell, and finally, after several twists and turns, arrived at the end of the road, where he encountered a wall.
In his vision of cause and effect, strands of blood silk passed through the wall, extending further beyond.
Mo Hua released his Divine Sense and began a Calculation in his heart, probing the surrounding Formation used for sealing with crystal clarity.
The layout of the Formation appeared in Mo Hua’s mind.
Mo Hua drew with his finger, silently and invisibly using Divine Sense Control Ink to dissolve the Formation.
The hidden door opened.
Mo Hua concealed himself and walked inside, where he could instantly smell the pungent scent of Monster Blood, identical to the scent from the Big Tiger during the day.
Mo Hua kept walking until he reached a special dungeon engraved with a totem.
The dungeon was extremely tight, surrounded by Formation, with bars made of refined iron and locks of Third Grade sealing the dungeon completely.
The interior of the dungeon was quite spacious, at that moment lying a massive black-and-white patterned Tiger Demon.
The Tiger Demon’s body was covered in blood scars.
Many of these blood scars had already scabbed, whether due to medicine or its potent Blood Qi, its recovery capability was strong.
The Big Tiger now lay on the ground with its eyes closed, as though suffering significant torment, and in a very poor spirit.
Mo Hua looked at it, feeling inexplicably a bit of pity, and lightly sighed.
The sigh was so subtle that it was not apparent in the dim dungeon.
But the Big Tiger was startled suddenly, raised its head, and with copper bell-like eyes, showed a suspicious gleam, gazing intensely at the darkness before it.
But in the darkness, there was nothing.
No one appeared, and no one spoke.
The Big Tiger gradually showed a disappointed expression.
Suddenly, something was tossed out from the darkness, landing in front of the Big Tiger’s head.
The Big Tiger instinctively opened its mouth and bit down, only to discover it was a dried fish.
The Big Tiger was first taken aback, then the entire tiger became excited.
It roared twice towards the darkness.
But in the darkness, there was no other response, and the familiar, elusive presence gradually vanished.
It seemed the person had already left.
The Big Tiger hesitated for a moment, carrying the dried fish, returned to its original lying spot.
The dried fish was actually quite large, made from a big fish.
But now the Big Tiger’s size was even larger, thus this dried fish in its mouth still resembled a "small dried fish."
The taste of the dried fish was very familiar, reminiscent of the childhood flavors.
The Big Tiger covered the dried fish under its paw and extended its big tongue, licking it bit by bit, slowly savoring the taste.
Licking and licking, the Big Tiger uttered a low "whimper," lying on the ground looking forlorn and somewhat aggrieved.
...
Mo Hua erased the traces and restored the Formation, then returned the way he came, back to his room, lying on the bed, started plotting.
"Need to rescue the Big Tiger..."
But the current circumstances made rescue difficult.
The Monster Beast arena was not a concern.
A mere Monster Beast arena, only guarded by a Golden Core, with Formations mainly of Second Grade, mixed with some Third Grade arrays, Mo Hua could easily destroy it.
The problem is, what comes after destruction?
The Big Tiger is a Monster Beast; once it appears in the Immortal City, everyone will hunt it.
Great Desert City is a Fourth-grade Immortal City, filled with a large number of Golden Cores and Fourth-grade Feathered Immortals.
Some Golden Core Cultivators, Mo Hua can disregard, but a large number of Golden Cores are different.
Not to mention the Feathered Immortal.
The disparity between two major Realms is simply too great; in a real fight, there would be no chance to retaliate.
Moreover, in a Fourth-grade Great Desert City, Feather Transformation can soar up to the sky and escape would be impossible amidst the endless Sand Sea.
And there’s Young Master Tuoba...
Mo Hua does not know his background, but judging by his imposing demeanor alone, his identity must be extraordinary.
This arena likely has deep ties with him.
Furthermore, Young Master Tuoba seems to be extremely concerned about the Big Tiger.
Blow up this arena, snatching the Big Tiger from his hand, it would probably lead to an endless pursuit.
To kill Young Master Tuoba...
First, committing murder would trigger a fateful evilness.
Second, if Young Master Tuoba is killed, it would surely anger the forces behind him, bringing disaster upon oneself.
Currently in the Great Wilderness, in Great Desert City. Not at the Qian Learning State Boundary, nor at Taixu Gate.
Alone, without any backing, without any supporting forces, once targeted by the native powerful forces of the Great Wilderness, it would be a very troublesome situation.
"Quite a hassle..."
Mo Hua sighed.
Another major issue is the Big Tiger, now grown too large.
Clearly, when it was young, it was like a little kitty.
If it were still "little kitty" size, he could carry it away.
Yet now its physique is robust, Blood Qi strong, Monster Qi surging, its ferocity awe-inspiring, causing dread wherever it goes.
Such a large Big Tiger, wishing to take it out, unless everyone else is blind and deaf, would be impossible.
Mo Hua’s brow slightly furrowed.
...
The plan to rescue the Big Tiger, in the short term, was not easy to conceive.
Until a plan is devised, Mo Hua continued his routine as usual, serving tea and water to the "distinguished guests" in the inner arena every day.
Whenever he had the chance, Mo Hua secretly inquired from other servants about the background of this "Young Master Tuoba."
But all the other servants appeared apprehensive:
