Chi Yan's eyes widened in alarm. "Did she trap the White Tiger inside with her by accident?" he blurted out. "If they're in there together, it's useless as a shield!"
Lu Sangjiu's lip twitched, and her expression grew complicated. "No," she said. "I think she did it on purpose..."
Chi Yan looked utterly bewildered and was about to ask another question when the pained roars of the White Tiger erupted from within the Golden Bell.
Not far away, the White Tiger's tamer, Yi Ze, paled. He suffered from the backlash and couldn't stop himself from coughing up a mouthful of blood.
When the Female Cultivator retracted the Golden Bell and the White Tiger reappeared, it was lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing.
It looked even more pathetic than the Single-horned Rock Rats from before.
Chi Yan was dumbfounded. "Don't tell me..." he said, utterly bewildered. "Is this Female Cultivator skilled in close combat too?"
