"Finally done!"After several hours of hard work, Wu Fan eventually managed to dig a large pit about three meters deep. Within the pit, he laid numerous sharpened branches prepared with the apothecary's spade. It must be admitted, the spade gifted by apothecary Li proved remarkably convenient, serving various purposes from herb collection, combat, digging holes, to even operating as a knife – indeed a rare gem."Once the task is done, let's see if I can get hold of this spade." Even before the mission was complete, Wu Fan had already set his heart on the spade, attributing the high satisfaction to its versatility.With trap set, the subsequent task was to lure the beast.Wu Fan crept once again near the variegated ferocious tiger, which was predictably still in position. Even after a few hours, the tiger hadn't altered its spot, appearing evidently intent on stringently guarding the Purple Flame Fruit."Luckily, I did not plan to compete with you in a test of endurance, instead, arranging a trap for you." Wu Fan murmured, looking at the variegated tiger.Afterwards, Wu Fan employed the technique of appraisal on the variegated tiger again. As expected, the moment the technique was in effect, the tiger reclining in repose instantly woke, intently observing its surroundings.This time, Wu Fan made no attempts to hide, instead stood up to challenge the variegated tiger, "I am here, come on, come chase me!"Having said this, Wu Fan turned and fled. A loud roar echoed from behind, vibrating the entire forest, resulting in numerous birds taking flight.Wu Fan's heart lurched at the sound – he was right in his earlier deduction, the variegated tiger was indeed a powerhouse. A single roar had led to such an acceleration in his heartbeat, inducing a vigilant alertness in him. A head-on confrontation would have spelled instant death.However, Wu Fan hadn't made the foolish choice to fight but had cleverly laid a trap instead.With Wu Fan leading the run, the variegated tiger predictably gave chase. Its speed was terrific, crashing through grass, shrubs, and minor branches on its pursuit towards Wu Fan, leaving a path of destruction in its wake."Good heavens, this fast?" Wu Fan looked back, and was instantly thrown into shock.Therefore, despite earlier knowledge of the beast's agility from scarce appraisal data, Wu Fan was still struck with surprise. The beast's agility was several times faster than his own. Luckily, Wu Fan was a fair distance away when he engaged in provocation, and immediately fled post challenge. Otherwise, he would've been easily overrun.Casting another glance back, Wu Fan noticed the distance being gradually closed. In mounting desperation, he redoubled his sprinting efforts. Wu Fan could feel the formidable pressure from behind inching closer, ready to take him down at any moment."Just a bit more, almost there!" Wu Fan spotted the mark created beside his trap, a glimmer of excitement crossed his eyes.The variegated tiger was way too fast. Wu Fan could already perceive the putrid smell exuding from the beast's mouth, further escalating his nervousness.Fortunately, he managed to dodge around the trap just in time – the variegated tiger was merely five meters behind.Unaware of Wu Fan's ploy, the variegated tiger kept tailing him directly."Thud!"As anticipated, Wu Fan could hear a fall following a sharp piercing sound and a roar of the variegated tiger emanating from the pit. However, this roar lacked the previous intimidating vibe, replaced with palpable fury.Wu Fan halted and returned to the trap, finding the variegated tiger in its depths. The tiger's gaze met his, its continuous roars seemingly intended to tear Wu Fan to shreds."Come on, if you can! What use is just roaring?" Wu Fan teased confidently, staring down at the entrapped beast from the edge.The pitiful condition of the tiger was quite a sight. Several sharpened branches were piecing through its body, oozing out fresh blood. The beast was attempting to squirm out of the pit, but each movement incurred excruciating pain, and the blood flowed even more rapidly.However, the ferocious beast demonstrated a degree of brutality. Even when its body was riddled with piercings, it was still struggling hard to escape, desperate to attack Wu Fan. The violent gleam in its eyes made Wu Fan's heart flutter.Afraid that the beast might break free, Wu Fan squatted and started hitting the beast's head with the apothecary's spade.Shamefully, the stubborn or rather, foolish beast did not even evade the attacks, instead, raised its head to roar at Wu Fan, providing him with a perfect target.It cannot be denied that the life force of the variegated tiger was astoundingly robust. Even after being injured grievously with blood flowing profusely on the ground, and after being assaulted for around half an hour with the spade, it could be finally killed. Wu Fan was left panting breathlessly."It's good that I didn't choose to fight it head-on. Otherwise, I would have been dead." Wu Fan thought.Even with the trap, it took him a while to handle the beast. Had he chosen to forgo the trap, even the imagination of the scenario was frightening.Of course, it was also due to Wu Fan's low level. The wide gap in the level between him, a Level 2, and the beast, a Level 10 made a significant difference. It was probable that Wu Fan's attacks could not even break the beast's defense. The beast was worn down to eventual defeat.Regardless, the death of the variegated tiger was a triumph for Wu Fan, indicating his successful gain of the Purple Flame Fruit."Huh, the corpse of the variegated tiger did not disappear." As Wu Fan rested beside the trap, he realized that the body of the slain beast remained intact even after a while, causing his spirits to lift. Subsequently, he reached for the carcass beneath, and it was indeed transferred into his inventory.Having secured the corpse of the variegated tiger, Wu Fan was already quite pleased. He was about to leave when he spotted something shining within the pit.Equipment drop?!Wu Fan was overjoyed. He had presumed earlier that upon slaying of monsters in this world, no equipment was dropped. Now it appears that he was mistaken. It wasn't that equipments weren't dropped, but the probability was very low. Before, the lower-level monsters did not drop any despite slaying a good number. But now, this Level 10 variegated tiger had just gifted him his first piece of equipment.Without delay, Wu Fan jumped down into the pit. The branches in the pit were already mostly broken by the variegated tiger, giving enough footholds for Wu Fan. After entering the pit, he immediately picked up the equipment.
