I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1336: Zha Zha Tiger

Amid the tense stares of the onlookers.

Xu Fengyue gravely scanned the area for several breaths, then let out a contemplative groan.

"No need to panic."

"Though this array is peculiar and I can't figure out its sudden activation, I detect no trace of Master Yi's presence. Luck must be on his side; he avoided getting trapped in this confusing setup."

"If we unite our efforts to locate the array's core, we can shatter it and then track down Master Yi!"

These words brought a subtle wave of relief to the group.

Yet as they lifted their eyes to examine the environment, an infinite black fog met their gaze. It was like the entire world had been cloaked in midnight, brimming with mysterious shadows. Unwillingly, fear crept into their minds, heightening their anxiety.

Even more alarming was the fog that enveloped them.

It grew thicker by the moment, akin to the night closing in deeper, instilling a pressing dread of impending doom. It seemed as if the blackness would engulf them in the very next instant!

They quickly turned to Captain Xu, only to find that even this second-most powerful figure in Qinghe Town wore a deeply somber expression!

When he addressed them once more, his tone carried evident strain.

"Everyone..."

"This occasion, fortune hasn't smiled on us. We've run into serious trouble!"

"Likely due to the passage of ages, this array has sustained damage. It triggered without reason, and everything about it feels off. The spiritual energy inside is scattered and erratic. I spot no hints, and right now, I can't pinpoint the array's core. Escaping won't be straightforward..."

With his words hanging in the air, pallor spread across the faces of all present.

Wei Xiaowei tightly gripped her delicate hands within her sleeves, her gaze brimming with alarm and concern. They never imagined stumbling into such a frightful array, one that left even a skilled individual like Captain Xu powerless so quickly!

All at once.

A choking wave of hopelessness washed over them.

Considering further that the delicate, bookish Master Yi remained isolated outside, possibly under threat from demonic beasts any second, the group grew frantic like ants in a frying pan!

Noticing the widespread panic and crumbling resolve, Xu Fengyue clenched his jaw and barked out a command!

"Do not panic!"

"Strange as this array may be, it's ancient and worn out in the end. Its might is far from its former glory; at worst, it's merely an illusion trap."

"Starting now, everyone tie yourselves together with ropes. Regardless of how pitch-black it becomes, stay calm. Once we detect the spot where spiritual power concentrates, that has to be the array's core. I'll unleash my utmost power to destroy it!"

"Master Yi lingers beyond the array and might face peril at any time. We have to act swiftly!"

His resonant voice echoed, at last steadying the chaos.

Xu Fengyue truly lived up to his status as Qinghe Town's second-top expert; he kept his cool in the dire hour. Bolstered by his established reputation, he swiftly instilled a strong surge of assurance in the others.

The group shared silent looks, regaining some poise right away. They sprang into action against the ticking clock. Wei Xiaowei grabbed a rope and secured it to herself, joining the frantic hunt for the array's core!

For the moment, no one uttered a word idly. All concentrated intensely on seeking the array's eye. A heavy atmosphere of haste permeated the air, rendering the already shadowy surroundings all the more daunting.

Under this intense pressure, the drain on their mental focus and spiritual energy intensified twofold!

In merely a few breaths.

Wei Xiaowei and the rest were drenched in perspiration, while Xu Fengyue panted from the stress. They had plunged into a crisis unlike any before, leaving even Qinghe Town's second strongest feeling an abrupt wave of helplessness!

At the same time.

Beyond the confusing array, Master Yi had endured a prolonged wait. Still no sign of anyone appeared, but his belly began to growl, prompting complaints.

"Hunger striking now is really inconvenient..."

"This gut of mine is unreliable as well. I used up my dried fish supply before, and now with waiting for folks, where do I find a bite?"

Irritated though he felt, the emptiness gnawed fiercely, forcing Master Yi to rise and peer about.

To his surprise, after a few sweeps of the area, nothing stirred. Not a wild rabbit or mountain fowl in sight, not even the chirp of an insect.

With no choice, he began to wander.

"This array can't be too formidable. Perhaps I'll spot some critters."

As he grumbled while foraging, maybe thanks to a touch of good fortune, Master Yi indeed came upon a mountain pheasant. Though it appeared undersized and lean, it offered meat all the same!

He wasted no time, advancing to handle it promptly!

Soon enough.

The fresh fowl was prepared and sizzling over a blazing campfire, releasing tempting aromas. He dusted it with several pinches of his unique "soul" spices. Now that was the real deal!

Inhaling deeply, his saliva flowed.

He pulled the skewer from the flames and took a soft bite of the golden-brown chicken.

Crispy exterior, succulent interior, flavorful and moist!

"Mmm..."

That single mouthful brought pure ecstasy to Master Yi's features.

Just as he savored the moment, a dark silhouette burst from the woods, issuing a menacing growl!

"Awooo..."

Master Yi turned toward the noise and couldn't help but chuckle.

The emerging tiger was pathetically thin. Its lengthy whiskers showed hints of white, and its body stripes were disheveled. It resembled a caricature, undoubtedly an aged, feeble, and crippled beast. It lacked even a fraction of the previous demon tiger's grandeur.

Master Yi dismissed this pathetic creature outright.

He aimed to resume his meal, but the tiger grew bolder. It advanced steadily, exuding a fierce presence, and roared repeatedly!

"Awooo, awooo!"

Master Yi shot it a look and murmured softly, "Go away. I don't wish to harm you."

With that, he returned to relishing his treat.

"Roar!"

To his surprise, the tiger ignored the caution. It bellowed fiercely and lunged at Master Yi.

Witnessing this, Master Yi sighed and flicked his hand casually.

This simple motion unleashed a ferocious windstorm.

"Bang!"

Following a sharp impact, the tiger slammed into the earth, flattening into a pulpy mess instantly!

Peace returned to the world.

Master Yi didn't bother glancing at it, devoting himself back to his feast.

Nearby.

The sweat-soaked team had at last escaped the array after immense struggle. Before joy at their survival could set in, they eagerly sought Master Yi's whereabouts. Shockingly, he was missing!

In a flash.

Faces drained of color as dread gripped them. Casting aside all else, they launched a desperate search for Master Yi. If alive, they sought the man; if dead, the remains!

At last.

By a campfire on the forest's fringe, they found Master Yi.

Observing his safety, the group exhaled deeply in relief. Instinctively glancing downward and about, they spotted the remains of a savage tiger.

The tension they hadn't released surged back into their throats!

Shocked intakes of breath filled the air; the mood tightened with weapons unsheathed!

"This!"

"Heavens above! Another demon tiger body appears here!"

"This tiger's remains look unusual. It was surely a formidable demonic beast when alive. Such a gruesome end—what horrifying force met it!"

"Might a far scarier demonic beast lurk close? This can't be!"

"Hiss..."

"Master Yi, what on earth transpired?!"

Before Master Yi could respond.

Xu Fengyue stood by the crater's rim, fixating on the demon tiger's corpse in utter disbelief, his eyes quivering without control!
