Chapter 3: The Earth Tiger Beast

Qin Xing's calmness left the young man somewhat disappointed, and he frowned as he said: "Xiao Hu, bite him to death! Cleanly and decisively take off his head!"

Because he could clearly feel the intense pain that came from the sharp, knife-like teeth of the earth tiger beast piercing through his body, and he could distinctly hear the sound of his own blood gushing out and dripping onto the ground

Qin Xing had completely forgotten his situation, his blank mind resembling a chaotic mess. Countless images, seemingly emerging from nowhere, flickered and rushed by, ultimately coalescing into a purple orb that emitted a bright light. This light caused a purple circular pattern to reappear on his forehead, continuously flickering and radiating a bizarre brilliance. Eventually, it coalesced into a purple orb that emitted a bright light, leading to the reemergence of a purple circular pattern on his forehead, which continued to flicker and radiate a strange brilliance.

This is a colossal beast resembling a tiger, standing at a height of 3 zhang, with eyes as large as copper bells, gleaming with ferocity. Its entire body is pitch black, with only a half golden star above its brow.

At the same time, a massive black beast shadow completely enveloped Qin Xing's slender figure

It turns out that I possess the memories of my previous life! Qin Xing felt the stirring from the depths of her memories. At this moment, Qin Xing, who was on the brink of death, finally completely integrated and digested the memories of her past life. Her entire demeanor underwent a transformation as she clenched her fists and declared, "Since you are me, I am you, then from now on, I will never allow myself to be bullied!"

At this moment, the Earth Tiger Beast, which had also awakened from its state of confusion, let out a roar, startling Qin Xing out of his contemplation

Perhaps, dying like this would be a form of liberation for oneself, for dealing with one's father, and for everyone else

This indicates that its half-star can only be accumulated through the sacrifice of human lives

Boom

Suddenly, a thunderous roar of a beast echoed from afar, startling the steed beneath Qin Xing, which abruptly halted and fell to the ground, causing Qin Xing to be thrown off its back.

If the pentagram pattern at its brow is fully formed, it signifies that it has successfully advanced to become a Star Beast. Currently, the Earth Tiger Beast before us is merely a low-tier ferocious beast, yet it possesses half a star, being only one step away from becoming a Star Beast

Therefore, many sects and families will raise some star beasts to strengthen their own power

However, star beasts are extremely difficult to capture, thus some weaker sects and families can only choose to hunt ordinary ferocious beasts, and then, through various special methods, artificially assist them in evolving into star beasts

"Hoo! Hoo!" Qin Xing gasped for breath, his mind feeling as if it were about to explode, filled with panic: "What are these images? Is this... my past life?"

At this moment, Qin Xing was already stunned with fear, his eyes revealing a look of despair, and his body was uncontrollably trembling slightly

Regarding his own death, Qin Xing did not feel much fear; on the contrary, he felt a bit of anticipation, as he truly did not want to continue living such a worthless life, nor did he want his father to worry about him any longer

On the continent of Tianxing, beasts, as long as they possess sufficient intelligence, can also embark on the path of cultivation by absorbing the energy of the stars. Moreover, due to certain unique physical conditions, their chances of success are even greater than those of humans. Once they succeed, they will advance to become star beasts, significantly increasing their lifespan and greatly surpassing humans of the same rank in strength.

From the initial panic, to the gradual emergence of a glimmer of understanding in his eyes, and then to all the fleeting images in his mind, they ultimately coalesced into a purple orb, radiating a bright light. This caused a purple circular pattern to reappear above his brow, which flickered and vanished, allowing him to completely regain his composure

Roar

Having integrated the memories of a past life, at this moment, Qin Xing was already confident and composed. As he watched the Earth Tiger Beast slowly approaching him once again, he felt no fear whatsoever. Instead, he stood up from the ground, his somewhat frail body erect like an unyielding mountain. His eyes were clear and cold, shining black, with the corners slightly raised, exuding a hint of sharpness. His pursed lips formed a downward half-arc, giving off an air of aloofness that made one hesitant to approach. A trace of disdain flashed across his face as he remarked: "The lowest tier of ferocious beasts, which ordinary Star Warriors would not even glance at. Its level has surprisingly reached half a star, equivalent to the second realm of the Star Movement's Ninth Stage. It is likely accumulated through the sacrifice of human lives!"

Under the urging of the young people, the Earth Tiger let out another roar, as if in response. It leaped lightly, its mouth wide open, and bit down hard on Qin Xing's body, causing several jets of blood to spurt out

The impact of countless images brought about a piercing pain that penetrated to the marrow, causing Qin Xing to suddenly reach up and cover his head, crying out in agony. This startled the Earth Tiger Beast, which instinctively loosened its grip, dropped Qin Xing, and took a few steps back. In its eyes, which radiated fierce light, there was a hint of vigilance as it fixed its gaze on the now curled-up and trembling Qin Xing.

Under the immense fear, however, an unusual calmness appeared on Qin Xing's delicate face, to the extent that she simply closed her eyes, continuously murmuring softly, "Father, you must escape!"

He knew that this giant beast was called the Earth Tiger Beast, a ferocious creature. Not to mention someone as useless as himself, even a two-star warrior might not necessarily be a match for it, so he could not possibly contend with it.

Qin Xing tightly embraced the horse's neck, desperately urging the steed beneath him to run faster. He was not concerned for his own safety; rather, he was eager to find someone to help his father.

The most common method is to feed using the blood of cultivators who possess star energy within their bodies. Of course, the best method is to directly use cultivators as nourishment

Ah!

It is the infusion of this faint golden gas that causes the ugly purple birthmark, which has accompanied Qin Xing for sixteen years, at the center of his brow, to suddenly come to life, twisting with great effort.

Roar

This purple birthmark, after a moment of frenzied twisting, transformed from its original irregular shape into a perfect circle. Then, with a "whoosh," it unexpectedly detached from Qin Xing's skin and directly drilled into his forehead, completely vanishing without a trace

Purple birthmark enters the brain

However, at that moment, a faint golden gas emanated from the two sharp fangs deeply embedded in Qin Xing's body by the Earth Tiger Beast, merging into the flowing blood of Qin Xing

From the rear of this giant beast emerged a young man, around seventeen or eighteen years of age, his face filled with excitement, his eyes fixed intently on Qin Xing, almost glowing with intensity

Qin Xing believes that he is doomed

After regaining her composure, Qin Xing began to sort through the suddenly chaotic images that had appeared. It turned out that the purple birthmark on her forehead was an extraordinarily peculiar seal, sealing away the various aspects of Qin Xing's previous life

A voice filled with excitement and tinged with a hint of cruelty echoed behind the giant beast: "Little Tiger, it's time to eat!"

Suddenly, a purple light flashed in Qin Xing's eyes, and a sound like an explosion echoed in his mind, rapidly revealing one scene after another.

Now, as memories awaken, Qin Xing seems to have experienced a lifetime once again. Although that segment of memory is vague and unclear, Qin Xing can distinctly feel that it is indeed himself

Various inexplicable phenomena appeared in his mind, lasting for a short duration, and during this process, Qin Xing's demeanor was also gradually changing

Qin Xing fell heavily to the ground, and before he could get up, he already caught a whiff of a nauseating stench of decay.

Although it is not the first time he has witnessed this giant beast devouring a human, every time he sees such a bloody scene, he still feels his blood boil, filled with anticipation
