Chaos Lord: Infinite Guidance

Chapter 20: Recruiting the Saber-toothed Tiger

Mengtata ran away.

The two saber-toothed tigers, perhaps following her orders, also fled.

However, Wang Jue would never allow them to retreat smoothly.

"Take it down!"

He issued the order.

Upon hearing this, Mad Dog King clashed his twin swords together, and flames immediately ignited on the blades. He blocked a saber-toothed tiger and slashed down fiercely with his sword.

The saber-toothed tiger leaped backward, dodging the attack. However, it lacked fighting spirit, turned its head and lunged to the side, slapping the fishman warrior Carp Jason to the ground before continuing its escape.

The fishman warrior sprang up from the ground like he was on a trampoline, shouting "I am Carp Jason!" as he tried to intercept the saber-toothed tiger.

However, the opportunity had already passed, and Jason only managed to land a punch on the saber-toothed tiger's rear end, causing very limited damage.

Fortunately, Mad Dog King caught up again. He swung his twin swords and used the "minced meat" technique, hacking down at the saber-toothed tiger.

The knife move worked; the saber-toothed tiger's head immediately bled. It shrank its neck and retreated, while Mad Dog King swung his knife forward and pressed down, delivering a "minced meat" strike that sent the saber-toothed tiger back more than ten feet.

The saber-toothed tiger seemed to have been driven to desperation. As soon as the Mad Dog King's attack stopped, it roared, stood on its hind legs, and slapped the Mad Dog King with its claws.

Mad Dog King unleashed "Meat Chopping" once more, meeting the attack head-on. His golden-ringed broadsword, burning with flames, immediately overwhelmed the tiger's slapping claws. The twin blades were ruthless, chopping at the tiger's claws, head, and shoulders...

Every slash draws blood!

Sparks fly!

The saber-toothed tiger was badly beaten and could no longer display its wildness and ferocity; instead, it looked quite pitiful.

Not far away, another saber-toothed tiger appeared extremely ferocious.

The main force blocking this saber-toothed tiger was Nyanko-sika. In just one encounter, he knocked down the second saber-toothed tiger. The catfish's leap was triggered, and as soon as it got up, it was knocked down again.

Although the surrounding old beggars attacked the saber-toothed tiger with their long sticks, the damage was minimal. The saber-toothed tiger roared and leaped away from the encirclement, then quickly ran towards the bright archway.

There's no way to stop them!

Fortunately, the saber-toothed tiger was focused on escaping and had no intention of fighting; otherwise, the old beggar might have been bitten to death.

Bandhu stood at the entrance of the bright archway. He was terribly cowardly. When he saw the saber-toothed tiger running towards him, he didn't dare to stop it. Instead, he fled into the distance as if his life depended on it.

Seeing that Nianxika and the old beggar were about to chase after the saber-toothed tiger, Wang Jue hurriedly said, "Come back! Surround the injured one! Don't let it get away!"

Nyanko and the group of old beggars then retreated and tightly surrounded Saber-toothed Tiger Number One.

Actually, these guys are just there to make a show of things; the only one who can stop the saber-toothed tiger is Mad Dog King.

Wang Jue watched the battle intently. He felt that the saber-toothed tiger was stronger and faster, but the Mad Dog King, who possessed dual swords, had higher attack power and more powerful moves, and was able to firmly suppress it.

Of course, this was under the condition that the saber-toothed tiger was not eager to fight and wanted to retreat.

Even in a deadly battle, Wang Jue still believed that Mad Dog King, a top-tier martial arts master with weapons, could defeat Saber-toothed Tiger.

Meanwhile, in Montata's territory, Montata stood beside the Gate of Stars, clutching her still burning cheek, feeling quite anxious.

"I underestimated his lackey, Bandhu, who can teleport and thrust. Luckily, I reacted quickly and ran away, otherwise I might have been ambushed. Now I'm safe, and the two saber-toothed tigers should be able to retreat by now..."

Mengtata frowned, feeling that the lackey Bandhu lived up to his reputation and had some skills.

At that moment, with a roar, a saber-toothed tiger charged out of the Star Gate.

Montata nodded. Only she and the residents of her territory could pass through the Star Gate, so she wasn't worried about anyone chasing after her.

However, after waiting for a long time, until the Star Gate was almost gone, Mengtata still didn't get her second saber-toothed tiger!

"Huh? What's going on? My saber-toothed tiger was allowed to stay?"

A bad feeling arose in Montata's heart.

Soon, the time limit for maintaining the Gate of Stars was reached, and with a pop, it instantly shattered into nothingness like a bubble.

The second saber-toothed tiger never returned.

Mengta stomped her feet in anger, yet felt incredibly heartbroken.

She felt she had suffered a huge loss by losing a three-star saber-toothed tiger.

"You trash, Bandhu, I'll remember you! You'll pay for today's losses tenfold sooner or later!"

"Montata said through gritted teeth."

She believed that the saber-toothed tiger she had lost was not killed, but was lying in a pool of blood, its head and upper body covered with bloody mouths, looking extremely miserable, panting heavily, in a state of serious injury and near death.

This is the effect Wang Jue wanted.

He didn't let Mad Dog King kill the saber-toothed tiger because he had recently received a low-level surrender token.

This low-level token can be used on hostile targets of the highest three stars, making it a perfect fit for the Saber-toothed Tiger.

At this moment, Wang Jue took out the token and used it on the heavily injured saber-toothed tiger without hesitation.

"Ding! Using a basic surrender token, the target is currently critically injured and near death. The success rate of the surrender has been increased..."

"Ding! Successful recruitment! The three-star ancient unit, the Saber-toothed Tiger, has joined your territory. Its current loyalty is 10, and the territory's population has increased by 1!"

"Ding! Your saber-toothed tiger is dying. Please treat it as soon as possible!"

"It's done!"

Wang Jue was overjoyed and immediately used the hemostatic powder, wound medicine, and life-saving medicine he had prepared to quickly treat the saber-toothed tiger's wounds.

The effects of the medicine were immediate; the severely wounded and dying saber-toothed tiger quickly stood up, and its wounds disappeared completely.

"Not bad, not bad, we've gained another soldier!"

Wang Jue beckoned the saber-toothed tiger to his side. Looking at the large cat up close, Wang Jue couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He patted the saber-toothed tiger's forehead and said, "Sit down!"

The saber-toothed tiger let out a roar but made no other move.

"This saber-toothed tiger doesn't seem very bright; it can't even understand 'sit down'?"

Wang Jue patted the saber-toothed tiger's forehead twice more, then sat down on the ground as an example, and said to the saber-toothed tiger, "Sit down!"

The saber-toothed tiger blinked, but still didn't sit down.

Wang Jue shook his head, then stood up and massaged the back of the saber-toothed tiger's neck while reflecting and summarizing.

"The players in this world are pretty strong. Well, without the constraints of real-world laws, without needing to eat or drink, and with unlimited resurrections, they've completely let loose, haven't they? In this kind of world setting, the weak will definitely be bullied. If you want to have fun, you first need to have a certain level of strength..."

Wang Jue rubbed his chin.

"That female lord was able to open a teleportation portal. I don't know if she used her lord talent, skill, or item. She also has a saber-toothed tiger, which poses a certain threat to me. She may not learn her lesson after suffering a loss this time... Her territory shouldn't be far away. It's only fair to retaliate. Perhaps I should go and cripple her to prevent future troubles!"

After pondering for a moment, Wang Jue stood up and ordered Carp Jason and Catfish Sika to patrol with the saber-toothed tiger, while he led Mad Dog King and the others back to the side of the courtyard to prepare for the construction of the [Phantom Wood Forest].
