Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 720 - 692 All Fixed

Lin Tian kept moving the large egg from place to place, and the egg acted like a bottomless pit, leaving devastation in its wake. Wherever it went, not a blade of grass remained; the once lush forest turned yellow and withered.

Having absorbed the essence of nearly a third of the trees, the egg had, up to now, consumed the vital essence of a full sixty thousand large trees.

And that's not even counting the essence of the grasses, wildflowers, and the like.

Lin Tian spurred on his Subdue the Heavens to observe closely. Although he still couldn't make out what exactly was inside the egg, if he paid close attention, he could detect the occasional tremor of the eggshell, like a seven or eight-month-old baby kicking inside its mother.

It seemed that after absorbing some more essence, the creature would be ready to hatch!

Five-sixths of the forest had been absorbed, and occasionally one could see wild chickens, boars, deer, and even wolves running out from the devastation, yet there was still no sign of the Tiger Mastiff Beast.

Wang Yuan ordered his men to close in the perimeter. Many were armed with tranquilizer guns, ready to sedate the Tiger Mastiff Beast upon sight without harming it.

Lin Tian, with the egg in tow, continued to absorb essence. In the blink of an eye, another twenty thousand trees had been drained by the egg.

At that moment, he heard a crisp sound, and a series of fine cracks began to appear on the smooth shell of the egg.

It was cracked, indeed cracked! At this rate, after absorbing another twenty thousand trees, the creature inside the eggshell was certain to emerge.

Lin Tian, now unconcerned with the Tiger Mastiff Beast, was about to continue letting the egg absorb essence when suddenly, Wang Yuan grabbed him with trembling arms.

"What are you doing...!"

Lin Tian said nonchalantly, and then he saw a terrifying scene.

Ahead, dust billowed, and the howls and cries echoed incessantly, as more than a hundred dark figures charged wildly towards them.

Among these shadows, burly wild oxen led the charge with their sharp horns, joined by deer, goats, boars, and even a tiger and two leopards.

Even more ludicrously, Lin Tian spotted two large rabbits on the ground running toward him. He couldn't fathom what these two rabbits were thinking—were they coming over to offer themselves as roasted rabbit meat?

Tigers and leopards had become comrades-in-arms with goats and rabbits—a curious talk indeed!

It was as if something had taken control of them, as they seemed to have lost all reason.

Lin Tian activated his Subdue the Heavens to take a closer look and discovered that the animals were not irrational. He noticed that they were all trembling, and in their eyes was not a vacant stare but fear.

These animals were not controlled by humans but were being coerced by something else.

What kind of powerful creature could coerce so many animals, including a tiger and two leopards?

The tiger is deemed the king of the forest; what could control such beasts?

"Roar...!"

Lost in thought, Lin Tian was jolted by a roar that suddenly burst forth.

It sounded like a tiger, but louder and more bone-chilling than any tiger's roar.

Upon hearing this roar, all the animals and nearly all the people shivered in unison. The roar was as thunderous and frightening as an explosion.

Then, atop a raised mound of earth, a dark silhouette appeared. It squatted, grinning fiercely, looking down on the other animals and regarding Lin Tian and his group with contempt.

"There's my Tiger Mastiff Beast!" Wang Yuan exclaimed excitedly, pointing at the silhouette.

"Is that the Tiger Mastiff Beast?"

Lin Tian cried out in surprise. If Wang Yuan hadn't mentioned it, he might have thought it was a lion!

The Tiger Mastiff Beast might be a descendant of tigers and Tibetan mastiffs, but in terms of size, the Tiger Mastiff Beast certainly resembled a tiger more closely.

It was even bigger than a tiger, and its teeth were twice as long as those of a normal tiger.

Its powerful body was covered in shiny black fur that dragged on the ground, and it exuded an aura of royalty.

The moment Lin Tian laid eyes on this Tiger Mastiff Beast, he was utterly captivated by its majestic presence. He patted Wang Yuan, who was beside him, and said, "Twenty billion, it was well spent. You've got yourself an incredible bargain."

Even with Lin Tian's praise, Wang Yuan still had a bitter look on his face. He didn't have Lin Tian's abilities or his boldness. He hastily called over his men, yelling, "Quick, block them off! Remember, do not harm the Tiger Mastiff Beast. The other animals can be killed."

People sprang into action, some aiming with tranquilizer guns, others drawing their weapons, ready for a bloody battle.

"There's no need for all that trouble,"

Lin Tian said lightly, then with a beckoning gesture, a Subduing Dragon Zither appeared in his hand.

With a fatherly touch, he plucked the strings of the zither.

"Zeng zeng zeng...!"

The melody of the zither was melodious, lacking any killing power, yet it made it hard to breathe.

This was one of the three divine tunes, Calming the Storm, with no offensive strength, yet with an unmatched power to bind anything in the world.

Stabilize Heaven and Earth, Calm the Winds and Waves, Trap Immortals, Trap Gods, Trap Myriads of Spirits!

As the zither tones resonated, beams of invisible light shot forth, immobilizing the space. The animals, which had been so ferocious moments ago, were now all frozen in time – even the Tiger Mastiff Beast, although still radiating terrifying ferocity, couldn't move an inch.

Not just the animals were immobilized; even the drifting leaves, the flowing streams, and the gentle breezes came to a standstill.

No matter how strong the Tiger Mastiff Beast was, it was still a beast without True Yuan, at best only possessing great strength and ferocity. Compared to Lin Tianyi, it was merely child's play.

Lin Tian then said to Wang Yuan, "Go on, capture the Tiger Mastiff Beast."

Wang Yuan didn't move immediately but instead rubbed his eyes.

He thought he must have seen wrong!

Just by playing a tune, he immobilized all these animals!

It was astounding!

It was defying the natural order!

It was unbelievable!

Even though it was strange, he had seen it happen right before his eyes, leaving him no choice but to believe.

"Hurry, everyone together now, put the Tiger Mastiff Beast into the cage. Everyone, be careful,"

Wang Yuan commanded while casting a sideways glance at Lin Tian.

He remembered that when they last parted, Lin Tian didn't seem this strong. It had only been a few days, and Lin Tian's skill had already reached such heights.

To Wang Yuan, Lin Tian's strength was terrifying. He was now thankful that he had chosen to follow Lin Tian, convinced it was the absolutely right decision.

If he hadn't made that choice back then, the fate of his family, the Wang Family, would have been the same as that of the Li Family and the Ouyang Family.

The thought alone was frightening, enough to send shivers down his spine.

Together, the men captured the Tiger Mastiff Beast and locked it in a cage.

As for the other animals, Lin Tian decided to let them go. They were wild creatures, and in this society, wild animals had not only their natural predators to beware of but also poachers—it was a tough life. Where possible, he believed in sparing their lives.
