The tiger then charged at me with an extreme speed aiming toward my neck area, and supposedly the tiger should be faster than me since he was level higher, but because of his injuries on his right legs made him move a little slower than usual.At the moment right now, the tiger is only moving at about 75% of his maximum speed, which means that if he wasn"t injured, then I would have been dead by now.
However, because I knew that the surrounding area around the forest has many trees, so I decided to take advantage of it by running around the trees left and right in order exhaust the tiger until he cannot move. Once his energy is burned out, that will be the moment I would use my opportunity to strike him.
This battle goes on for about 20 minutes and after that the tiger became tired and his speed also started to slow down a little. Despite that, the tiger still didn"t give up even though he was tired, he still continues to chase after me without stopping, but this time with a maximum speed of 50%.
Eventually, he stops chasing me and was breathing heavily, this is when I thought is my chance to strike back, so I charged at him from behind aiming his right foot because that is part where he was injured. But to my surprise, I was wrong, the tiger actually baited me to go near him and the minute I got close to him, the tiger then made a turn and uses his right claw and slap me really hard on my left arm.
Upon impact, I was blown about 10 meters to the side and collided on to a nearby tree, not only that some of my ribs were fractured, but also the bone on my left arm was crushed and heavily bleeding.
"d.a.m.n it! I was tricked by the tiger because I thought I outsmart him, but it turns out that he was smarter than I thought. If only I was patient enough, then this wouldn"t have happened!" said Ryo Setsuna regretfully while coughing out a lot of blood.
However, the tiger didn"t stop there immediately and charged at me without mercy. It was at this moment I thought I was really going to die, but suddenly the tiger stops halfway and turn around, and left with an extreme speed.
"What?! What is going on? Why did he suddenly stop? d.a.m.n it!, I was so ready to die so that I could evolve and level up, but instead, the tiger just ran away for no reason" said Ryo Setsuna disappointingly.
Suddenly, I look up the sky and saw a huge big black dragon about twice the size of an airplane or maybe even bigger than that.
The black dragon was flying through the cloud at an extreme speed heading toward the east direction and not long after that, it disappears.
"No way! They are actually dragons exist on this planet? This is unreal, am I dreaming? Said Ryo Setsuna excitingly while slapping on his own face 5 times.
I do not know where this black dragon came from, but it certainly did scare the tiger away. About 5 minutes later, my entire wound and broken bones were healed and it was all thanks to my Vitality stat that allowed me to regenerate back.
Because I didn"t die earlier, so my body didn"t evolve much, but since I took a lot of damage from the tiger earlier, this allowed my body to evolve a little and now my level went from level 154 to level 160. If the tiger were to kill me earlier just now, then I would have been able to evolve more and reach level 200 faster.
"Oh well, too bad my plan was ruined by the black dragon, but regardlessly the black dragon did indeed save my life earlier and that is a fact, but right now I am having mixed feeling toward the black dragon as I am not sure to be thankful or not" said Ryo Setsuna in a confusing manner.
When my body fully recovered, I got up and pick up the wooden bucket of water that I left earlier and climb back up toward my treehouse. Once I arrived inside the treehouse, I then started drinking at least a quarter gallon of water because I was really thirsty from the intense fight earlier with the tiger.
As for the remaining water, I store it at the corner of my treehouse along with the wolf meat. The wolf meat was very big, but I have already used my hand to tear off into tiny little pieces in order to make it fit into my treehouse.
A few days later, my level is now level 163, I still have a long way to go before reaching level 210, I need to be at least ten levels above the tiger to ensure my victory against him.
I gained about one level a day through eating and it"s all thanks to my evolving skill. Right now my level is 163, I think I still need to continue eating for another 47 days in order to reach level 210. After that, I will find the tiger and have my revenge without mercy.
