CHAPTER 59: CHAPTER 59: ONE MOUNTAIN CANNOT HAVE TWO TIGERS

It was another long night, and Wang Wu lay on the ground, his breathing becoming long and slight.

His spirit was good, although seven days of hunger had resulted in a 3% decrease in his growth, but it really wasn’t a big deal.

On the other hand, the Big Mountain Cat couldn’t hold on anymore, because it had more at stake compared to Wang Wu, who had nothing to lose.

Wang Wu could endure and hibernate without concern, but the Big Mountain Cat couldn’t, because it had too many rivals.

For the past three days, the Big Mountain Cat had not appeared, with the idea of harming the enemy by a thousand while losing eight hundred itself, it was determined to catch Wang Wu.

This immediately allowed many of the golden particles each day to be claimed by other Little Demons.

Before that, the Big Mountain Cat had monopolized this hillside, absorbing nearly all the golden particles within fifty meters, equating to about one or two hundred points of Spiritual Qi on a daily basis.

Now all of that benefited the Gray Magpie clan, which comprised one Magpie Leader, six Large Magpies, twelve Medium Magpies, and about fifty or sixty Small Magpies.

Their territory was on a towering ancient tree at the foot of the mountain. Originally, it was like a peaceful coexistence with the Big Mountain Cat, maintaining a straight-line distance of over sixty meters.

When the Big Mountain Cat was not there, they immediately occupied that Giant Stone, maliciously driving away other Little Demons that dared to get close, monopolizing nearly 80% of the golden particles on this side of the hillside.

This brought about a significant effect.

Especially the Magpie Leader, as big as a white goose, reaped the most benefits. Soon, a few very beautiful feathers on its body were cultivated into golden-yellow, noticeably advancing, or even if not yet advancing, on the path to advancement.

If that was all, it would be fine, but today at dusk, this Large Magpie unexpectedly spoke human words, uttering two incredibly awkward syllables.

Although Wang Wu did not catch what was being said, nor did he understand why these Little Demons cared so much about speaking human language.

But it seemed to be a backstab for the Big Mountain Cat.

Because Wang Wu sensed the Big Mountain Cat’s murderous intent and noticed its whereabouts.

The distance between them was once only three meters.

At this moment, the twilight glow poured down, enveloping the Big Mountain Cat’s fur in an almost perfect mimicry in such light and shadow.

Were it not so close, Wang Wu would not have discovered it.

One could only say it was the Big Mountain Cat’s Bloodline Talent, able to maintain a remarkable Concealment ability even while moving.

Unlike Wang Wu’s Passive Concealment, where any movement would immediately reveal his true form.

Minutes passed, and the Big Mountain Cat had moved over thirty meters, less than ten meters from the ancient tree. Given its speed and agility, if it struck, it would surely achieve something.

Of course, this might still be a trap.

But Wang Wu felt it was worth the gamble because he sensed that the Big Mountain Cat’s essence was more focused than ever, and the main point was, the Big Mountain Cat had been absent for three days and nights, indeed allowing the Gray Magpie race to lower their guard.

As the saying goes, they had let their guard down.

In such a situation, would the Big Mountain Cat want to hunt a potential rival that had lowered its guard against it, or insist on chasing a bizarrely appearing and disappearing, likely randomly wandering Little Bear cub?

If it had any wisdom left, it should know how to choose.

Wang Wu kept a close watch, ready to act as soon as the Big Mountain Cat made its move to escape this prison.

But to his surprise, the Big Mountain Cat didn’t act all night, which was unexpected, as at night, those Gray Magpies were all in the trees.

Could it be that his judgment was wrong?

Wang Wu nearly questioned his own existence.

And so, a long night passed, and Wang Wu could no longer sense the Big Mountain Cat, as if it had truly vanished into thin air.

In the lightly lit dawn, the Gray Magpie family began their new daily routine, happily calling from the treetop, or gracefully flying back and forth in the air.

Or dive-bombing to deposit a load of droppings from the Giant Stone throne of the Big Mountain Cat.

They were truly living it up!

As for the Large Magpie Leader, as big as a white goose, it flew to the top of the ancient tree, like a fat General, overlooking its domain. With the Big Mountain Cat gone, it was the king.

Honestly, Wang Wu was curious, how much combat power does it have with its obesity?

But he truly underestimated the world backdrop; could the matters of the Cultivation Realm be judged by common sense?

The moment of witnessing a miracle suddenly began.

In the morning light, the Large Magpie Leader abruptly started extending its body to the limit, its form becoming lengthy, even its wings growing, with a wondrous rhythm of power surrounding it.

"It’s advancing! It’s going to advance!"

Wang Wu realized belatedly and finally understood what was happening.

And almost at the same time, an immensely terrifying aura exploded; it was the Big Mountain Cat, appearing like a gust of wind, a bolt of lightning, bounding several times before leaping onto the ancient tree, directly targeting the Large Magpie Leader.

Well, now Wang Wu suspected he had become a pawn and a scapegoat for the Big Mountain Cat. He had overthought; this was clearly the Big Mountain Cat playing a game of ’catch and release’!

On the treetop, the other Large and Small Magpies were cawing maniacally, frantically lunging to stop the Big Mountain Cat!

But at this moment, the Big Mountain Cat truly showed its talents it was unbelievably fierce, fast enough to almost leave afterimages in place, vanquishing in several quick encounters, instantly killing over a dozen Small Magpies, two Medium Magpies, and one Large Magpie!

Yes, instant killing!

Too strong.

But Wang Wu didn’t care anymore, his chance was but fleeting.

Wang Wu quickly opened his mouth, biting a nearby vine branch, swiftly biting it off, then continuing to bite it off, dividing it into three sections.

Then he continued, like a skilled industrial worker.

In less than two seconds, four or five prying gazes found him.

One could only say the Little Demons here were truly formidable.

Wang Wu remained unmoved, snapping five vine branches into three segments each, then bundling them together, grabbing them in his mouth, and taking off running!

When passing by a nearly withered, blossoming fruit tree, he used his momentum to leap off a Giant Stone, flicking his claws to slice off a section of the branch.

Once it was firmly in his mouth, he started running towards the valley.

Yes, this was his meticulously calculated action plan over countless restless days and nights.

He had hibernated here for eight days and seven nights just for this piece of branch!

As for the Gray Magpie corpses on the ground, not a glance was spared; he wouldn’t indulge at all.

Immediately, he sensed the fleeting, fierce killing intent of the Big Mountain Cat.

At this moment, if the Big Mountain Cat wanted to hunt him, it would be a piece of cake.

However, the Big Mountain Cat didn’t do so, because it had already killed three Large Magpies and was charging towards the advancing king Magpie Leader. It had no time to perform two actions at once.

Wang Wu didn’t look back, just kept sprinting, and by the time he had dashed over a hundred meters away, he sensed nearly over a hundred prying gazes, but none of the Little Demons came out to hunt him, since dawn was near, and because this Little Bear cub was the Big Mountain Cat’s prey, it was not worth the trouble for them.

Ultimately, most importantly, this Little Bear cub was moving away from their territory, so it was even less necessary.

Why bother, when watching the battle between two kings is more entertaining?
