Chapter 49: Killing Intent

“Obtained Ghost Servant memories. Query them or not?”

“Obtained Ghost Servant memories. Query them or not?”

Two pieces of information appeared in Li Si’s mind, and he immediately chose not to query them. He had no interest at all in the pasts of these two people.

What he was worried about now was his Protective Talisman, as well as the tiger demon beneath the cliff.

Li Si took the cloth bag from his chest and opened it. Sure enough, the Protective Talisman had already turned to ash.

This did not exceed Li Si’s expectations. Since the tiger demon had suffered such injuries, the Protective Talisman must certainly have been greatly consumed too.

Only, for the Protective Talisman to disappear all at once left his heart feeling empty.

He had bought this Protective Talisman on his very first day in this world, and had even bought it with his lifespan. This Protective Talisman had also lived up to its purpose. Amid fox demons, the Dismemberment Ghost, and all kinds of demons, monsters, and ghosts, it had protected Li Si.

Even the reason that hanging ghost had not killed Li Si was because of this Protective Talisman.

And now, this last-resort protective measure was gone.

Li Si also felt somewhat afraid. Previously, because he had the Protective Talisman, he had always been fearless. Now that the Protective Talisman was gone, he felt as if he were standing barehanded before demons and monsters.

At this moment, he looked into the mall and discovered that only a little more than one day remained until the mall refreshed.

Li Si immediately suppressed his irritated mood. After all, the Protective Talisman would disappear sooner or later. It was just that this disappearance was somewhat beyond his expectations, far earlier than expected.

This also made him feel somewhat caught off guard, but this was also a test for him. After all, in this world, dangers he could not imagine could occur at any time.

In this world, he was only a person struggling to survive, not some protagonist.

This matter could be considered a reminder to him.

At this moment, Li Si did not care about this for now. He looked down the cliff and discovered that the tiger demon was lying on the ground, its two claws already shattered into powder.

There was a deep ring of tearing around its neck. This was precisely the injury caused by Xiaoduan’s tongue.

Looking at the way this tiger demon was bleeding, it seemed it would not be long before it died a violent death.

“You shameless villain!” The tiger demon glared at Li Si with both eyes, and a woman’s cursing voice came from its mouth.

“How am I as shameless as you? Your brain just isn’t very good, yet you still tried to play schemes with me.” Li Si sat at the edge of the cliff, looked at the tiger demon below, and sneered.

Roar! The tiger demon roared angrily, and even more blood flowed.

“You thought I had no guard against humans?” Li Si shook his head and laughed. “I was actually guarding against them the entire time. I just didn’t expect that soup I didn’t even dare drink casually would actually be drunk by you.”

“Then let me ask you now, did that soup taste good?” Looking at the tiger below, Li Si could not help bursting into laughter.

This time, Li Si truly laughed. After all, those three people should have been this tiger’s subordinates, yet unexpectedly, the poison meant for him had been eaten by this tiger demon.

When the tiger demon heard Li Si say this, it became even more furious and let out a deafening tiger roar. In her heart, she hated those three people extremely. If not for these three people putting poison in the soup, how could she have become weak like this, much less have been toyed with by Li Si in such a manner?

“You are a tiger. Why didn’t you properly use force to solve things? Instead, you played schemes with me, and even used gold to tempt me.” Li Si shook his head and laughed. “But do you know that right now, gold and silver are of no use to me?”

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of gold about the size of an egg from beside him and threw it at the tiger demon.

That gold piece landed directly in front of the tiger demon. This infuriated the tiger demon quite badly. It possessed many human memories.

The way this person threw it at her was just like an idle loafer throwing stones at a dog.

Thinking of this, it roared again, staring at Li Si with blood-red eyes.

Only, its front claws had already been crippled, and its body was extremely enormous, so although she dodged somewhat, Li Si’s gold still struck its body from time to time.

The tiger demon trembled somewhat from rage, especially when it thought that this gold had been carried up by itself. That made it even angrier. This person had clearly discovered it long ago, then made it climb up and down more than a dozen times. He had simply toyed with it like a fool.

The tiger demon’s roars grew even louder. On the cliff, Li Si felt as if his ears were about to be shaken deaf. He felt somewhat helpless in his heart. This tiger demon was truly worthy of being a demon creature. Even after being enraged by him until its blood surged and it had lost so much blood, its roars were still so full of vigour.

That was right. He was deliberately angering this tiger demon. After all, he was not so bored that he would do useless things. But now, it seemed the results were not very great.

At this moment, he also noticed a corpse hanging from a tree nearby. The clothing on this corpse was precisely Cao Qing’s.

The reason he had not seen this corpse earlier should have been because the ghost servants had the ability to deceive the naked eye. Even the movement when the tiger demon climbed the mountain had been concealed by the ghost servants.

At this moment, Li Si no longer wanted to bother with the tiger demon. This tiger demon’s front claws had already been severed, so it could not stir up any waves.

He walked beneath the tree and used his amateurish tree-climbing skills to climb up the tree.

Fortunately, his physical strength had improved recently. Otherwise, there would have been no way for him to climb up this tree.

After climbing up the tree, Li Si put himself in a relatively stable position, freed both hands, took out a dagger, and began cutting at the vines binding Cao Qing.

Fortunately, these vines were not very thick, so Li Si cut through them very quickly. Afterward, he pulled on the vines and moved slowly, gradually letting the vines loose until the corpse landed on the ground.

After the corpse landed, Li Si released the vines, letting them fall to the ground, and climbed down from the tree.

At this moment, he also discovered that Cao Qing had truly died miserably. The clothes on his body were already severely damaged, and his face was completely unrecognizable. Even the bones were exposed. Half the scalp on his head was gone, revealing a ghastly white skull. The rotten flesh on his body already emitted the foul stench of a dead rat.

Li Si immediately felt somewhat nauseated and wanted to vomit. It was not because he was afraid of corpses, but because someone who had once been able to chat and laugh with him had become a corpse just like this. This contrast made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

He found some of his own clothes in the book chest and covered this corpse with them.

This made him feel somewhat better.

At this moment, the tiger below was still roaring nonstop, making Li Si feel even more irritated. In truth, he had not originally wanted to interfere too much in the grudge between the tiger and Cao Qing. After all, whether it was Cao Qing killing the tiger’s son, or the tiger devouring Cao Qing’s parents and wife, those were their own grievances.

It had nothing to do with Li Si at all. But now, he had no choice but to make this tiger demon die.

After all, this tiger demon had tried to kill him again and again. Could he really still pity her and release the tiger back to the mountain?

He did not want to become a second Cao Qing.
