Chapter 953: Yang Soul Grass
The mechanical watch vibrated, and information appeared on it: Swallowing Yang Soul Grass, Strength +1, Speed +1, +1, Toughness +1, Strength +1, Strength +1....
In a short while, Strength increased by thirty-four points, Speed increased by twenty-eight, and both Hardness and Toughness increased by thirty points each.
"Can this thing actually add so many Attributes at once? This effect is way stronger than the Five Elements Fruit I've used before," Lin Shen exclaimed in surprise and delight.
These were increases to the upper limits of the base Attributes, which means they could also be doubled later when using various enhancement skills.
Looking at the patch of dog's tail grass, Lin Shen wondered how many Attributes he could add if he ate them all.
Lin Shen's gaze triggered the vigilance of the big tiger, which immediately stood up, issuing a threatening growl at Lin Shen.
"What are you being so fierce for, I haven't done anything," Lin Shen hastily retreated a bit, as he had no desire to fight to the death with the big tiger in this place.
The big tiger glanced at the Little Tiger still entangled in Death Powder, growled softly a few times, then slowly lay down again, its eyes still fixed on Lin Shen.
Lin Shen sat down on the other side, holding a stare with the big tiger.
The current situation was very advantageous for Lin Shen; as long as he could drag out the time, the more beneficial it would become for him.
Evolution Theory was slowly strengthening his body, and he would become more and more adapted to this environment.
In such a gravitational environment, the effect of the Super Base Pattern was explosive. Although his combat ability was lacking in such gravity, his endurance was definitely top-notch.
Once he could adapt to the environment and move more smoothly, he could tire out the two big tigers just by his stamina.
Besides, his Acupoint Sealing was somewhat effective. Though he lacked the strength to seal their acupoints securely, the One Must Hit of Ten, after taking effect, could only hold them for a brief moment before the sealing was broken, yet it was still effective.
The problem was that he now had no ability to kill the big tiger, so there was not much point in fighting; it was better not to fight if possible.
One human and six tigers rested in the cave, except for the Little Tiger controlled by the Death Powder, the other three Little Tigers returned to the side of the two big tigers.
Lin Shen did not stop them, only tightly restraining this Little White Tiger, no matter how it roared, he would not let it run over to the big tiger.
Without holding a tiger at bay, Lin Shen couldn't feel at ease.
"At least I've grasped some of the Law of Gravity; in such a strong gravitational environment, it should be somewhat useful, yet it turns out to be of no use at all," Lin Shen found that the Law of Gravity he had comprehended, except for weighing, was truly of no use.
The Little Tiger tired of struggling and lay down beside him, falling asleep.
The other Little Tigers also extremely weary, lay down and slept beside the big tiger.
But once they fell asleep, the big tiger slowly stood up.
Lin Shen thought it would trouble him, but the big tiger merely glanced at him, then turned and walked towards another cave passage and quickly disappeared.
Although he didn't know what it was doing, Lin Shen got a temporary respite.
The other big tiger did not look at Lin Shen and fell asleep alongside the Little Tigers.
Lin Shen hesitated in his heart, whether or not to take the opportunity to escape this area, but the purple light outside was still very intense, evident from the stones overhead shining with purple light, now even stronger than before, with no signs of weakening.
Even the White Tiger harbors such fear towards that purple light, Lin Shen feels now is not the good time to leave.
Moreover, he can't lift the huge rock above, and it's impossible for him to venture out.
Unable to leave, the only option is to exit through the cave from which the large tiger left, but what lies deep within the cave is unpredictable, and the danger level is similarly high.
While Lin Shen is still conflicted and undecided, he sees the large tiger returning, dragging a creature that's several meters long, resembling a crocodile but with six legs and a single horn on its head.
It's clear that the creature has been killed by the large tiger, and only then does Lin Shen realize that the large tiger had left to hunt.
However, this discovery only worsens Lin Shen's complexion.
There are not only White Tigers in this place; the risk factor outside is even higher, and he certainly can't go out now.
The commotion made by the return of the large tiger startled the Second Tiger and the little tiger cubs, who upon seeing the prey dragged back by the large tiger, excitedly pounced on it.
Lin Shen watches as the large tiger puts down the prey, then uses its sharp claws to tear open the prey's belly, causing the Base Mutation Fluid inside to flow out.
The little tiger cubs immediately press their mouths to it, sticking out their tongues, desperately licking at the Base Mutation Fluid.
The little tiger cub controlled by Death Powder also wants to rush over, but controlled by the Death Powder, it struggles to get through, crying out in urgency.
After some thought, Lin Shen signals to Death Powder to follow it over.
The little tiger cub finally runs over, squeezing in with the other little cubs, desperately licking the Base Mutation Fluid flowing from the corpse of the prey.
The large tiger and Second Tiger show no intention of partaking, which privately relieves Lin Shen.
After the little tiger cubs have their fill, only then do the large tiger and Second Tiger begin to consume the prey, tearing open the prey's crystal-like body directly, crunching it with their teeth and swallowing it down, an action that makes Lin Shen click his tongue in amazement.
After they have finished eating, the large tiger and Second Tiger lie down to rest, but the little tiger cubs are full of energy, with no intention of sleeping, playing and roughhousing.
They have adapted to the presence of Death Powder, no longer attacking it, seemingly treating Death Powder as part of the little tiger cub.
Watching the small White Tigers roughhousing, Lin Shen fills with doubt: "Lin Wan said she was going to conduct an experiment, and she doesn't have much time left, it's impossible for her to abandon me like this. If she wanted to kill me, she wouldn't need to waste so much effort, so what exactly does she mean by doing this now?"
While Lin Shen is lost in thought, he suddenly sees the large tiger and Second Tiger abruptly standing up, their gaze piercingly fixed outside the cave.
Seeing that the large tiger and Second Tiger's focus isn't on him, Lin Shen can't help but prick up his ears, curious to know what they have discovered.
In a place like this, the most likely scenario is that some other Neutron Star creature has appeared, possibly even their natural predator.
Neither the large tiger nor Second Tiger rush out; the large quietly moves to the cave entrance, hiding inside without going out.
Second Tiger ushers the little White Tigers further inside, all without making a single sound throughout the process, indicating their considerable intelligence and even the ability to set up ambushes and sneak attacks.
At first, Lin Shen doesn't hear anything, but after a while, his face suddenly lights up with joy.
He can clearly hear the sound of people talking, in the Cosmic standard language, no less.
"Master, you really don't need to risk yourself going into the forbidden zone, Meteorite Land is too dangerous, let's hurry back," a somewhat hoarse male voice enters Lin Shen's ears.
Followed by an older-sounding male voice: "Legend says that Meteorite Land is the sanctuary of one of the Four Ultimate Creatures, the White Tiger. I've come to catch a White Tiger as a pet, and of course, I'll return when I have caught it."
