Chapter 318 I, Big Fat Tiger, am no saint either!
Under the cool moonlight, Tiger Brother and Big Rice Bun, one of the three tigers, stood on opposite sides of the beach, gazing at each other from afar.
Meanwhile, Cangnian and Tiger Dad lay at a distance behind Tiger Brother as his family and friends.
On the other side, the group of friends and family of the big eater was much larger.
Hundreds of tigers, densely packed together, stretched their necks, eager for the battle to begin.
Far from the coastline, on a higher slope, were the viewing seats for the evolved beings.
As for ordinary people...
It's nighttime now, so ordinary people can't see the battle clearly. Moreover, even a friendly sparring match between powerful creatures like tigers is quite dangerous.
In addition, a giant white whale, Da Bai, was also excitedly poking its head out to watch the battle from a distance of several dozen meters from the shore.
This is much more interesting than the sea!
Battles in the ocean aren't very fast-paced, so they're not as exciting to watch.
After all, the immense resistance of the seawater means that even the most powerful evolved creatures can only reach speeds of one or two hundred kilometers per hour at most. Compared to battles on land, their attacks seem to be slowed down.
Da Bai was very envious of Cang Nian and the others who could live on land.
However, Cangnian was also envious, as Da Bai's enormous size far surpassed his own strength.
On the beach arena, Big Rice Bag paced back and forth with its large tiger paws.
A pair of tiger eyes stared intently at Tiger Brother, seemingly searching for any flaws Tiger Brother might reveal.
But upon closer inspection, it discovered that Tiger Brother was full of flaws.
Even though a fight was about to break out, Tiger Brother remained lying on the ground with his paws tucked in, too lazy to even stand up.
This made Big Rice Bun quite unhappy.
Is this a sign of looking down on it, being confident that it can completely withstand its attack, and therefore disdainful of standing up and preparing to fight in advance?
What it didn't realize was that Tiger Brother's actions had absolutely no deeper meaning.
Tiger Brother is simply lazy; standing up is more strenuous than lying on the ground.
Ouch~!
Seeing that Tiger Brother remained in this posture, Big Rice Bun lost his patience and let out a low growl, his fur gleaming with golden light!
Its sharp front claws, in particular, gleamed brilliantly!
The next second, its majestic body strode towards Tiger Brother, tentatively extending its right paw to swat at Tiger Brother's head!
Pa~!
Ouch~!
With a single swipe of its claw, a cry of pain rang out!
However, it wasn't Tiger Brother who cried out in pain, but Big Rice Bag!
The attack, though precise, landed squarely on the tiger brother's head, but it felt as if its own claws were being pierced by thousands of tiny needles!
Big Rice Bun retreated with a look of surprise and doubt, creating some distance between itself and its right paw, which was still aching, looking around with confusion.
"Big Rice Bun! It's a counter-attack! Use your ability to strengthen the defense on your claws!"
At that moment, Chen Hu shouted from among Big Rice Bun's friends and family.
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian frowned slightly.
Why are they bringing in off-field assistance?
However, his brow then relaxed.
It doesn't matter.
Tiger Brother's superpower is the purest form of open strategy; it requires no manipulation and there are no particularly good countermeasures.
To defeat Tiger Brother, you have to attack him.
But attacking it will result in a backlash.
Even if it's a contest of who can withstand more, Tiger Brother would usually win.
After all, Tiger Brother's special ability is mainly defensive.
Unless he unleashes an attack far exceeding Tiger Brother's defensive capabilities, Tiger Brother, who usually appears to be a mascot and a weakling, is actually quite powerful.
At this moment, Da Fanbao, who was on the field, heard Chen Hu's reminder and immediately did as he was told.
Then, the black parts of the big rice bag's fur also shone with a black light, converging towards its two claws!
Whoosh~!
The next instant, Big Rice Bun shot out with both claws and slapped at Tiger Brother's head!
Bang~!
Awooo—!!!
But then, a clang of metal striking metal rang out, followed by an even more shrill scream from the giant rice dumpling.
Tiger Brother, on the other hand, remained as steady as a mountain, still lying on the ground.
Seeing that he had defeated his opponent, Tiger Brother proudly raised his big head.
Looking at Big Rice Bag again, the golden and black light on its claws had dimmed considerably, and even the gaps between its claws were seeping out strands of blood.
Clearly, its all-out attack ended up injuring itself quite badly.
Cangnian was not surprised by this.
Tiger Brother's individual skills, while not particularly strong on their own, work together perfectly, and their combined effect, even if not top-tier, is still very powerful.
Just now, Tiger Brother used the combination of the second-tier skill [Reflect Damage] and the fourth-tier skill [Copper Skin and Iron Bones].
Tiger Brother's counter-attack skill increases the power of the counter-attack as the opponent's attack intensity increases, and the higher his own defense attribute, the greater the power of the counter-attack.
The skill obtained at the fourth tier, which Cangnian named "Copper Skin and Iron Bones," should increase one's defense dramatically in an instant.
Although the exact multiplier is unknown, it is completely unaffected by the increased power of the Cangnian Freedom attribute. The first-level overlimit burst is stress-free, while the second-level overlimit burst will hurt a lot, but it will not be fatal.
Of course, these were the results of tests conducted when the tiger brother had just evolved to the third tier, but they do reflect just how monstrous the tiger brother's copper skin and iron bones are.
Cang Nian had also discerned some of the supernatural abilities of the Big Rice Bun.
Basically, the color of the body hair can add special effects.
Golden light should represent destructive power and sharpness.
The black light likely represents defensive capabilities and solidity.
The idea of using golden light to enhance attack damage and black light to resist counter-damage is correct.
However, the difference in attributes between the two sides determined Big Rice Bun's defeat in this confrontation.
Although Tiger Brother is lazy, he still lives off his parents and older brother, and never lacks top-quality ingredients. His evolution level is the same as Cang Nian's, reaching the late stage of the third tier.
Although the incense offerings were only touched by a tiny bit, it was negligible.
But based on its current level of evolution alone, its combat power will not be weak.
"Big Rice Bun! Use ranged attacks! Avoid its counter-attack!"
Seeing that Big Rice Bag had failed again, Chen Hu gave instructions once more.
Upon hearing Chen Hu's words, the white parts of Big Rice Bun's fur lit up and shone brightly. Then it raised its paw, and the blazing white light gathered in the center of its paw.
Whoosh~!
The next second, the white light transformed into a blazing white spear, shooting towards Tiger Brother!
However, this time, Big Rice Bun's attack wasn't aimed at Tiger Brother's head, but at his shoulder.
This was its most powerful attack, piercing through the bodies of countless evolved creatures.
This is a friendly exchange, not a fight to the death, much less a hunt; there's no need to go to extremes.
Even if Tiger Brother couldn't withstand the blow to the shoulder, it would only pierce a non-lethal area and wouldn't be fatal.
Tiger Brother is just too rounded, making his shoulders a bit hard to find.
Bang~!
Ouch~!
Ouch~!
The next second, two miserable screams echoed through the sky!
