During the Qin Dynasty, he was in charge of the net.

Li Ji entered the stone chamber and heard a strange, heavy breathing sound coming from the darkness.

squeak - creak -

Then came a screeching sound, as if someone was scratching the stone with long, sharp fingernails.

When the dim lamp was lit, what came into view was a black, ferocious creature that looked as if it had crawled out of the underworld!

His eyes were cloudy and bloodshot, and his fur looked like coffin lacquer that had just been splashed with ink.

This is a black tiger that has been starving for three days. It has not eaten or drunk anything for three days, and its ferocity has reached its maximum!

Li Ji was certain that the black tiger in front of him could pounce on him at any moment.

However, when faced with such a ferocious tiger, Li Ji did something that made everyone's scalp crawl!

He leaned against the wall, slowly sat cross-legged on the ground, and made no defensive moves, only staring at the hungry tiger in front of him.

With eyes like torches and pupils like cold stars, the two clashed and fought with only their gazes. If Li Ji showed any sign of retreat, his life would be in danger in an instant.

Li Ji placed himself in such a dangerous situation to temper his courage with the might of a tiger, to nurture his murderous aura with the spirit of a tiger, and to forge a ruthless heart with the bones of a tiger.

He had been in the net for ten years, carrying out many dangerous missions. Each mission was on the verge of death, and after each mission, he would come to this secret room to stare at the tiger.

Li Ji used the image of a tiger to remind himself that the missions of the Net were even more dangerous than a tiger, and he could never take chances on any mission, otherwise the next mission would be his death ground.

It must be said that this is an extremely dangerous training method.

As time gradually passes.

The tiger grew hungrier, and the ferocity in its eyes intensified.

It paced restlessly in place, even scratching the ground with its claws, clearly unable to contain itself any longer.

Li Ji also sensed the ferocious beast's impatience, hunger, and wildness.

The pressure he felt from the hungry tiger opposite him was growing stronger.

The hungry tiger even slowly approached him, the distance between the man and the tiger being no more than three feet!

As the hungry tiger approached, Li Ji felt an increasing sense of oppression from it.

Its size gradually enlarged in Li Ji's eyes; the tiger's forelimb alone was about the size of half of his body.

The tiger's hand was even larger than Li Ji's head.

Even so, Li Ji's body did not move an inch.

His eyes were like deep pools, showing no fear even when a tiger was right in front of him.

The tiger in the room is inescapable, just as his current situation is dangerous and he has no way out. If he is afraid, he will be devoured alive sooner or later.

Seeing that Li Ji made no move, the tiger became bolder.

The tiger's massive head drooped down in front of Li Ji, seemingly scrutinizing the tiny and overconfident prey before him.

The tiger knew how delicious humans tasted; it once came down from the mountain and raided a village, devouring several people.

It should have devoured the person in front of it the moment it was released, but the prey in front of it had a pair of very special eyes, the kind of eyes that only wild beasts possess.

Therefore, it did not pounce directly, but chose to test the waters first.

Now, Black Tiger can no longer hold back.

It has eaten many such humans, and past experience tells it that these prey have almost no power to resist it.

A long trail of saliva dripped from the tiger's mouth, and as its jaws swelled slightly, Li Ji could smell a strong, fishy stench.

Seeing that the tiger seemed to be getting restless and was becoming increasingly unrestrained, Li Ji's expression grew even colder.

He understood that the tiger had lost all patience, and its remaining rationality had been consumed by hunger.

The tiger before him had become a complete beast, dominated by its animalistic instincts.

"As expected, a beast is a beast."

Under immense pressure, he stared intently into the tiger's eyes, his gaze sharp as swords, his killing intent now completely unleashed.

In an instant, a bloody aura, like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, emanated from Li Ji.

There was clearly no wind in the stone chamber, yet Li Ji's long hair moved on its own without any breeze.

The lamps in the room, though still far from Li Ji, seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, and began to dim.

The word "killing intent" is mysterious and intangible, something that can only be sensed but not observed, yet it is truly manifested at this moment!

Black Tiger paused, a strong sense of crisis surrounding it, an instinct unique to wild beasts, an instinct honed from years of life-and-death struggles.

Its intuition told it that the person in front of it had become extremely dangerous, even more dangerous than the animal that had killed its mother.

For the first time, something akin to fear flickered in the black tiger's eyes, and its tail swayed uneasily.

Seeing this, Li Ji realized that the time had come.

He slowly stood up, a simple movement that caused the giant tiger opposite him to stand on end and its limbs to buckle.

Li Ji's simple action of going from sitting cross-legged to standing up represented a shift from a defensive state where he was unable to move to an offensive state where he could attack at any time.

The eyes are a wondrous organ, often called the windows and doors of the soul.

Li Ji sensed fear in the eyes of the tiger opposite him.

Unbelievable!

The tiger is known as the king of beasts, and all beasts have always knelt before it. All beasts have always been terrified at the sound of its roar. When have you ever seen a tiger fear its prey?

But what if the tiger becomes the prey? What if the prey is more murderous than the tiger? What if the prey is more ferocious than the tiger?

As Li Ji slowly walked towards the giant tiger, the tiger let out an uneasy growl and slowly retreated.

In the black tiger's eyes, the humans seemed to have disappeared, replaced by a giant tiger several sizes larger than itself.

The roles of man and tiger seemed to have been reversed, with Li Ji constantly moving closer to the tiger, while the tiger kept retreating.

Often, Li Ji would take a small step forward, while the giant tiger would retreat three or four steps.

Soon, the giant tiger retreated to the edge of the stone chamber, with nowhere left to go.

The giant tiger crouched down, no longer daring to look into Li Ji's eyes, its enormous head bowed and pressed against the ground.

Without a doubt, this is a gesture of submission.

Surprisingly!

With just eye contact and the aura emanating from his body, he was able to repel a fierce tiger!

Li Ji understood that the black tiger in front of him was no longer a threat for the time being, which also meant that his seclusion was coming to an end.

Li Ji only hoped that after his next mission, the black tiger would still retain its ruthlessness.

Li Ji didn't linger and turned to leave the stone chamber.

The black tiger, facing Li Ji who had his back to it, did not launch an attack, but remained in a prone position until Li Ji completely left the stone chamber.

As Li Ji opened the stone chamber door, a man in black hurriedly looked into the chamber.

What met the eyes of the man in black was Li Ji's indifferent and cold gaze.

With just one glance, the man in black seemed to sense a giant tiger, its body brimming with blood, rushing towards him.

In a state of shock and fear, the man in black almost drew his long sword.

What do you want?

A casual question startled the man in black; there was no blood-red giant tiger in front of him.

"My lord, the chief has something important to discuss with you and has specifically ordered me to inform you immediately after you leave the pass."

The man in black wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and lowered his head, not daring to look Li Ji in the eye again.

Out of the corner of his eye, the man in black saw a huge black tiger lying in a dimly lit corner of the stone chamber.

This discovery immediately startled the man in black. How could that lord be able to remain in seclusion peacefully with such a huge tiger in the stone chamber?

"Okay, I understand."

Li Ji's face turned serious after hearing this. He had just completed a mission not long ago, so he shouldn't have been asked to join a mission.

Moreover, even if it's a mission, there's no need for the leader to send someone to wait for him to receive him personally.

It seems something extraordinary has happened in the Luo Wang, Li Ji thought to himself.
