"That tiger appeared out of nowhere and joined the battle.
Its strength was extraordinary.
If not for its intervention, we might not have lasted this long.
I wonder how that tiger is doing now?
With its speed, it should be able to escape from those Black Monsters."
Through his conversation with Hu Zhou, Luo Feng had gained a general understanding of the situation here.
After a moment of thought, he said, "Alright, that's enough for now.
You should hurry and leave Mist Island.
The island is likely to become even more dangerous from here on.
We're going deeper in.
You shouldn't follow us."
Hu Zhou was startled by Luo Feng's words and said in disbelief, "You're still planning to go deeper?
The depths of Mist Island are extremely perilous.
No one who has ventured there has ever come back alive.
Please, don't act recklessly."
Luo Feng had no patience to waste any more time with Hu Zhou—he still had three Black Ghouls left to kill.
Mist Crystals were valuable treasures, after all.
Whether used for himself or sold for profit, they were an excellent resource.
The more, the better.
Thinking this, Luo Feng replied impatiently, "Enough talk.
Go wherever you want.
We'll make our own choices.
This is where we part ways.
Just don't follow us."
Without another word, Luo Feng turned and strode toward the remaining Black Ghouls.
Tang Xuewei and the Merfolk Queen followed closely behind.
Left behind, Hu Zhou stood frozen in place.
As Luo Feng and the others gradually disappeared into the distance, Hu Zhou opened his mouth to speak—but then, remembering Luo Feng's earlier demeanor, he swallowed his words.
With their overwhelming strength, Luo Feng's group hardly needed his concern.
And if he said too much, he might only provoke Luo Feng's anger.
Soon, Luo Feng and his companions vanished from sight.
Not daring to linger any longer, Hu Zhou immediately sprinted toward the outskirts of Mist Island.
In the past, with his Level 4 strength, he wouldn't have faced much danger in the White Mist Zone.
Even if he encountered a Level 4 White Ghost, his life wouldn't have been at risk.
But now, everything had changed drastically.
Who knew if another Black Ghoul might suddenly appear? If that happened, escape would be impossible.
Right now, he needed to get out and warn others.
Otherwise, any low-level Bounty Hunters who entered Mist Island would meet only one fate—being devoured completely by these Black Ghouls.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng glanced at Tang Xuewei and the Merfolk Queen beside him, holding a Black Mist Crystal in his hand with a satisfied smile.
"This has been quite a haul.
A Level 4 Mist Crystal.
However, these Black Mist Crystals contain too much negative energy.
They'll need to soak in the Mystic Seed Water for a while longer before they can be used.
For now, you two should stick to consuming White Mist Crystals.
Once your strength improves, then you can try the Black Mist Crystals."
"Alright, I'll follow your lead."
Tang Xuewei had nothing to say about such matters.
She only needed to follow Luo Feng's arrangements.
Using the Clairvoyance Charm, Luo Feng could see the three Black Ghouls rapidly chasing after the tiger.
The tiger was covered in blood, its body riddled with wounds.
These injuries greatly affected its speed.
It wouldn't be long before the tiger was overtaken by the three Black Ghouls.
By then, the outcome would be obvious—the tiger would be completely devoured by the ghouls.
Thinking this, Luo Feng turned to the two beside him and said,
"Up ahead, three Black Ghouls are chasing a tiger. Let's hurry over.
This tiger has managed to hold its own against the ghouls so far, so it's clearly no ordinary animal.
Let's see if there's a chance to take it as a pet.
Even though we haven't found a White Tiger yet, this one could serve as a substitute for now."
Luo Feng had long wanted to find a White Tiger as a pet for Tang Xuewei—
not just any white tiger, but the White Tiger, one of the Four Divine Beasts.
But that was far too difficult, and who knew how long it would take?
Back then, Luo Feng had obtained his Black Tortoise by fishing up a Black Tortoise Egg with his fishing rod.
As for the White Tiger, he really couldn't figure out how to acquire one.
A fishing rod probably wouldn't cut it this time.
If he could actually reel in a White Tiger with a fishing rod, Luo Feng would eat the rod in one bite.
Putting these thoughts aside, Luo Feng quickly led Tang Xuewei and the Merfolk Queen toward the tiger.
Time passed swiftly.
By now, the tiger was on its last legs, its body suddenly coming to a halt.
It turned to face the three Black Ghouls.
A brilliant white light began radiating from the tiger's body.
For a moment, the Black Ghouls didn't dare approach.
However, the tiger's white light lasted only a few seconds before gradually weakening.
Seizing the opportunity, the ghouls lunged at the tiger.
Just as they were about to strike—
A fiery lotus came hurtling toward them.
By the time the ghouls sensed the scorching heat of the flames and tried to evade, it was already too late.
One of the Black Ghouls was struck by the fire lotus, its body instantly pierced through with a gaping hole.
The remaining ghouls scattered in panic.
They feared these special flames above all else.
At that moment, Luo Feng, wreathed in raging flames, dashed toward the fleeing ghouls.
He couldn't let them escape—
They were all valuable sources of experience.
"You two, check on the tiger's injuries. I'll handle these ghouls."
"Got it. Be careful."
Neither Tang Xuewei nor the Merfolk Queen wielded fire abilities, nor did they have the strength to fight the Black Ghouls.
It was safer to leave them to Luo Feng.
The two quickly approached the tiger to assess its wounds.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng reached the Black Ghoul that had been struck by the Heavenly Flame Lotus.
Without hesitation, he unleashed his flames upon the ghoul.
The moment the fire touched its body—
Thick black smoke billowed as the ghoul's form began to burn.
"AAAAHHH—"
Piercing screams erupted from the ghoul's mouth.
It was truly a sorrowful tale that would move listeners to tears.
Yet Luo Feng wore a cheerful grin on his face.
Soon, the Black Ghoul was burned to death by the flames surrounding Luo Feng.
A black crystal emerged in midair.
