Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2029: False Alarm

"What? Didn’t you just say it was here?" Lin Kong nearly jumped off the ground. They had been busy all morning, and it turned out to be a blunder!

"I did see the Thousand Year Striped Tiger just nearby, but now I can’t feel its presence at all. Master, what is going on?" Heavenly Master Zhang looked at Lin Kong with a confused expression.

"Get out of the way." Lin Kong snatched the compass from his hand and personally performed a divination. His face suddenly turned ugly as he turned his head, glaring at Heavenly Master Zhang with sharp eyes, "Where have all your skills gone? Within a hundred miles, there’s no trace of the Thousand Year Striped Tiger. I trusted you to perform the divination." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

After wandering in the mountains for several Shichen Chinese Time, exhausted and hungry, Lin Kong’s temper flared up again, "Looks like you’ll need to relearn your divination skills, or you’ll ruin my reputation when we go out."

Heavenly Master Zhang was quite confident in his divination skills. Hearing this, he couldn’t help but say, "Master, I really divined the Thousand Year Striped Tiger was here, but I don’t know why it vanished into thin air."

"The Thousand Year Striped Tiger is formidable, but it wouldn’t just fly out of a hundred miles like a bird! Are you trying to lie to my face?" Lin Kong thought Heavenly Master Zhang was making excuses for his failure and didn’t believe his explanation at all.

"Master, I’m really not lying, the Thousand Year Striped Tiger was indeed here." Zhang Tianxing looked miserable, not understanding what was going on. During the divination, he saw clearly that the tiger was just nearby, but in the blink of an eye, it vanished without a trace.

"You’re still lying." Lin Kong was extremely angry, handing the compass back to Heavenly Master Zhang, saying coldly, "Open your eyes wide and take a look, the compass shows no reaction at all. How could the tiger be nearby? Where have all the skills you learned gone?"

Heavenly Master Zhang replied dejectedly, "Master, I really don’t know what’s going on."

"Hmph! Reflect on your actions!" Lin Kong turned and stormed off.

"Master, Master, wait for me." Heavenly Master Zhang scrambled up from the ground, hurriedly picking up the tools scattered on the ground, holding them in his arms, and staggered to catch up with Lin Kong.

Yet, Lin Kong was skilled in martial arts, his figure quickly leaping through the forest, disappearing in an instant.

"Master, Master, wait for me."

"Ouch!"

With too many things in his arms, Zhang Tianxing tripped and fell onto the ground, ending up with a mouthful of leaves, "Ptooey!"

Struggling to spit out the leaves, Heavenly Master Zhang lifted his arm to wipe his mouth and climbed back up, glancing around. Being in the deep mountains and ancient forests, the light was extremely dim, incomparable to the sunny areas outside. Moreover, the sky was growing darker, making it even gloomier here than outside.

Although Heavenly Master Zhang was skilled in divination, he was merely a weak scholar and knew nothing about martial arts. If night fell and he stayed in the perilous deep mountains, it would mean certain death.

He sat dejectedly under a large tree, murmuring to himself, "Master left on his own!"

The forest was silent, with only the occasional bird calls breaking the eerie stillness.

Heavenly Master Zhang sat on the ground, resting for a while to regain his strength, then hurriedly stood up. He needed to get out of the mountains before night fell. After all, once darkness descended, the deep mountains would be filled with fierce beasts, making it extremely dangerous for someone like him who couldn’t even handle a chicken.
