Path of the Dual Cultivation

33 Descendent of Sheshnaag

Sahil and his group just watched everything taking place in front of them and stayed silent whole time but Sahil didn't just stay and did nothing. He already had his God's eyes activated and was searching for if anyone hiding behind their back.

The fight continued and didn't have any sign of ending anytime soon when everyone was immersed in watching the fight, Sahil spotted a group walking towards them from afar. It seems they are as well here for the hunting snow tiger. But their strongest expert was just at the late-stage of the emperor realm, so they can't be here for hunting a magical beast of the sage realm, can they? So, Sahil thought they are here because they heard the fighting noise and was coming to check out what's happening.

Sahil signal the girls and all of them hidden inside the shrubs and didn't do anything.

When the party of those humans appeared they also hide on the trees and waited for the outcome of the fight.

On the other hand, the fight between the two beasts have become more intense and reaching its climax. Snow tiger has the slight upper hand in the entire fight, so guessing the outcome wasn't that hard. After more few moves tiger cut on the neck of the wolf with its jaw but the wolf wasn't easy prey as well, it retaliated with everything it had but wasn't successful to pull out from the jaws of the tiger.

Wolf howled at the last breadth and closed its eyes slowly and died but the struggle at the last breadth really touched Sahil's heart because the wolf knew it was going to die if he continues to fight but its proud nature didn't allow it to run away and died fighting, though, it was touching, Sahil wasn't the fan of 'dying fighting' thing. His motto was simple if you can't win just wait for the right time; if you are weaker than your opponent, just run away and become powerful first.

After killing the wolf, tiger as well lied on the ground and was about to close its eyes when it heard a sound from its right side and instantly stood up vigilantly.

The group of five humans were walking towards it with greed visible in their eyes.

"Boss is it safe for us to attack it, even though, it's injured it is still sage realm magical beast?" one of the party members reminded his leader but no one heard his suggestion and on the contrary berated him.

"What the fuck are you so afraid of? it is already half-dead: if we are able to kill it, we will have the two sage-realm magical beast corpses. We will never have to do something like this, our life will be set." the leader of the group who was at the front berated his companion.

But he forgot the simple rule that never fights with the cornered enemy head-on and never pursues the injured beast.

When he was just a hundred metres away from the tiger, it lunged towards him without any prior warning, he was just at the lat- stage of the emperor realm and wasn't able to react in time and when he realised the incoming danger it was already too late.

"Boom!"

"Ahhh!" A bloodcurdling scream resounded in the whole snow forest and it seemed, it instantly became, even more, chilli and sinister.

Blood was dripping from the snow-white tiger's mouth and it again turns towards the leader of the group who was screaming on the ground.

Snow tiger devours the right hand of the leader in just one bite, and again moved with high speed without giving any chance of escaping to the other members of the party and screams again resumed but after few breadths, everything fell into a lull.

Snow-white tiger started to close its eyes from tiredness but before it did, it looked straight at the party of five people in which four were humans and one beast.

When Sahil realised his position was already been found by the snow tiger, he also didn't try to hide and came out in the open with his party members and looked straight into the eyes of the snow tiger without any fear.

Tiger was surprised when it saw an unafraid look on Sahil's face and realised he doesn't seem to be ordinary human-like other, then it turned its gaze towards, the other members of the party and rested on the Afifa and when it saw her five heads fear started to appear on his face but he forcefully suppressed it, but it didn't pass unnoticed by Sahils party.

They were surprised by his behaviour and realised that it knew something about her origin and Sahil's got instantly interested in knowing the whole story, he already had some speculations but didn't able to confirm them.

"If you tell me about this five-headed snake what you know, then we will let you go" Sahil speak in a serious voice and try to negotiate with a snow-white tiger, he knew that these type of magical beasts are incredibly proud and won't yield to force, so he tries to negotiate things out.

Snow-white tiger was surprised by Sahil's proposal and was somewhat doubtful but still replied in human language "What if you try to go against your words, then what will I do?"

"That's your only choice If you don't tell us, we are going to kill you anyway, so why don't you try if I will go against my words" Sahil replied in an unconcerned manner as if knowing tiger is going to accept his proposal.

As expected tiger nodded and replied "You are right that's my only choice" snow tiger said and continued "In the Indian mythology there was a snake name sheshnag, in his infant state, he only had five heads but as his cultivation increased more heads also started to grow"

"Stories say, he had an infinite number of heads but he always showed his only five-headed form to others and your spirit beast as well have, five heads if my guess is correct, it might be the descendent of sheshnaag, and I am not saying it only because of its five-headed form, but I can feel a horrible power hidden in its bloodline"
