"That's a big cat" Gang Xin took in the cat and the five monkeys' view. At the same time, they also took sight of him.
Possibly, even before he was able to see them, they had already took notice of him. After all, their sight as beasts were far more developed than a human.
However, Gang Xin was also able to see that the forest cat had been injured. There was a long claw wound that ran from one of its legs, through its belly, and all the way to its tail. Gang Xin presumed it was because of another beast.
After the injury, the big cat might have escaped, and had ended up being chased by the lowly Screecherkin.
From the sheer size of the wound that looked to have come from just one claw... The size and the ferocity of such a beast made Gang Xin imagine just how powerful it must've been.
After all, the Stone Fang was a ferocious beast that caused trouble even to late stage's 8th star Form Fighters. Especially when it was mating season and they went together in pairs, it was very dangerous to encounter them.
Maybe he wouldn't run amock in this forest after all.
However, what he should be worried about right now wasn't the unknown danger. It was the wounded beast and the hungry wolves after it.
Thus, Gang Xin called out in his mind.
'Inventory'
Ding...
After the system interface surfaced, he chose the slot that had the weapons and called out the new weapon he got.
There were a total of 5 slots, and the 5 slots didn't have unlimited spaces themselves too. It was around a room's size individually.
It wasn't much of a cheat, but it was very useful.
After Gang Xin went into the forest deep enough, he had put everything he carried into his inventory. Previously inside the city, he hadn't dared to - because of the spatial fluctuations he feared would be let out.
If anyone that had slightly good senses were to sense it, he would've been in big trouble.
Thus, he had only used this skill after arriving here.
As for the new weapon he brought out, they were a pair of brass knuckles.
They were made with the sheen black metal, an ore locally mined that was especially tough. The ends of the knuckles held spikes that would penetrate the opponent's flesh.
The brass knuckles shone with a black luster, and they looked very menacing.
"COME!" Gang Xin prepared his body.
His shout had now fully gained the attention of the six beasts coming towards him.
The feline Stone Fang was especially furious as it let out a roar opposing his.
Its big round eyes focused on Gang Xin, and the legs seemed to stiffen up even more. Almost as if it was accelerating even more, it was preparing for collision and accumulating its momentum.
Naturally, as it had stiffened its body, blood also gushed out even more from the gnastly wound. Scarlet red blood came out with squeaks and dropped to the ground.
Seeing this scene, the Screecherkin excitedly let out high pitched screeches. The extra scent of blood made them even more excited and hungry for the flesh of this feline.
50 meters... 30 meters... 10 meters...
The Stone Fang came very fast. It was almost moving at 20 meters per second, even in this jungle like forest.
Even here, this beast was a scary predator that made many fear.
As the feline zoomed in to Gang Xin's view, he also didn't wait in vain.
In response, the short hair he grew, along with the eyebrows and all - they rose up. They fluttered like grass but they were all rising up into the air.
From the tiny pores in his skin, strands of fire also seeped out. Although it wasn't much noticeable, if one looked into it, it looked like small flames were seeping out.
Even his eyes seemed to turn more furious. Although there wasn't any flame, his eye was heating up and had turned slightly orange red.
His entire body was spewing out fire.
If Gang Xin had worn normal clothes, they would've burned. Fortunately, he had chosen fire resistant clothes.
However, even the fire resistant cloth seemed to waver as they had to face the wraths of his first Immortal Flame's fractions.
In an instant, his aura had grown from a normal presence to a very violent and ferocious one.
Huu...
Gang Xin's legs were in a stable position. He breathed out, and breathed in.
Then, like an explosion, the next time he breathed out, he punched with his right hand.
Star Immolation Fist's first form - The Shattering Dust!
At this moment, the feline was in front of Gang Xin. The beast carried a lot of momentum, and its eyes were ferocious, as if it was waiting to run over and kill this puny human right then and there.
However, its eyes had just seemed to transform from this undoubtedly confidence of winning this exchange, to one of fear and regret.
The Screecherkin also seemed to be surprised by this transformation as they let out surprised screeches.
Just then, Gang Xin's fist collided with the beast Stone Fang.
Boom!
As the fist collided with the beast, the tiny particles of fire qi coming out of its pores vibrated violently. Then, they were forced to collide into each other by Gang Xin.
As the fire qi scraped each other, the energy of friction was produced; that energy was enough to spontaneously combust the surrounding fire qi.
Albeit it was a small radius, it produced enough force and explosion to force back the Stone Fang's momentum. Its body had halted, and its head was forced to bend to the ground in an unnatural way.
Not only that, the collision had also charred the head of Stone Fang. Its fur around there had now become black like coal, as it was burning at a visible rate.
This technique Star Immolation Fist was the trademark skill of the Star Tyrant from Cultivation Dynasty. With this technique, he had striked fear into many, and also forced many to back down from fighting him.
Coupled with Gang Xin's newfound ability, this skill's destructive power had undergone a qualitative change.
