Chapter 614

"Hmph!" Both of them snorted coldly, neither yielding to the other.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Morton, being the stronger one, took the lead and charged ahead. In an instant,

Morton had reached the thousand-year-old Lingzhi. Seeing the Lingzhi right in front of him, his face

beamed with joy. Noticing that Morton was faster than herself, Grace Field's face turned extremely

unpleasant. Just as Morton's hand was about to touch the Lingzhi, an accident suddenly occurred.

"Watch out!" Chris suddenly exclaimed. Before Morton could react, a roar sounded. A white giant

tiger, five meters long, charged out from behind a large rock next to the Lingzhi! It opened its huge

blood-filled mouth and rushed directly towards Morton, attempting to swallow him whole.

Morton's face changed drastically. He managed to come to his senses and quickly pulled the long

sword from his waist, stabbing it towards the white giant tiger. Faced with Morton's sword, the

white giant tiger didn't show any weakness and fiercely met the blade with its sharp claw.

Bang! A loud noise echoed as the sword and the tiger's claw collided, creating a shower of sparks.

Morton's face was filled with horror. The strength of this white giant tiger was incredibly powerful.

Seeing that a single strike didn't work, Morton immediately turned and fled! Roar! Although

Morton's sword hadn't pierced the tiger, it had enraged the ferocious beast. The white giant tiger

roared and its sharp claws brutally slashed at Morton's back.

With a tearing sound, Morton's back was instantly clawed open, leaving several bloody gashes.

Blood poured out! Ah! Morton cried out in pain, but he took advantage of this opportunity to

escape the tiger's jaws.

All of this seemed to take a long time, but it had only happened in the blink of an eye. Morton

gasped for breath, his face full of caution as he looked at the white giant tiger. His eyes were filled

with lingering fear. The strength of the white giant tiger was just too formidable. If it weren't for

Chris's timely warning, he would likely already be in its jaws.

Seeing that Morton hadn't picked the thousand-year-old Lingzhi and had instead almost lost his

life, a hint of schadenfreude appeared on Grace Field's face. "How are you?" At this moment, Chris

walked over and asked. With a terrified expression, Morton replied, "I am incompetent, please

forgive me, Master!" Chris said, "I don't blame you. It's my own oversight. Such a treasure is

supposedly guarded by a beast!"

In the past, Chris often carried out missions in the wilderness and occasionally encountered

treasures like the thousand-year-old Lingzhi. These treasures were often guarded by extremely

fierce beasts that had already gained spiritual awareness. They knew that these treasures were

greatly beneficial to them and would thus guard them with their lives. The white giant tiger in front

of them was such a beast.

The beasts had begun to wait before the genius treasure had matured. Once it matured, they would

eat them! The white giant tiger had been waiting for such a long time. Of course, it wouldn't allow

Chris and his companions to take away the thousand-year-old Lingzhi.

"Thank you, Master!" Morton sighed in relief when he saw that Chris didn't blame him. Chris said

indifferently, "You all step back. I'll deal with this beast.” "Yes!" Morton and Grace Field didn't try to

be heroes but stepped back.

Through the previous strike, Morton could roughly judge that the strength of the white giant tiger

might be at the early stage of a great grandmaster. He was only at the late stage of the

grandmaster. If he fought hard, it would only mean death!

After the two retreated, Chris turned his head and looked at the white giant tiger. Seemingly

sensing the formidable aura from Chris, the white giant tiger did not dare to act rashly. It only kept

growling lowly, warning Chris.
