Chapter 2040 — The Tiger Went Mad — Zhang Duopan Had a Clever Scheme: He Deliberately Let He Meiyue Throw the Meat, Then, on the Pretext That a Girl's Arm Was Too Weak, Let the Tiger Pounce — in Truth the Tamer Had Been Told to Do Exactly That — so That Zhang Duopan Could Step in Front of He Meiyue and Play the Hero Saving the Beauty, or, Even Better, He Meiyue Would Be So Frightened That She Threw Herself into His Arms.

"Hahaha, Bai Weituo? Come on, really? Scared so badly you sat down on the ground? You're a bit too useless, aren't you?" Zhang Duopan burst out laughing. "Didn't you say there's nothing hard about feeding a trained tiger like this? What's this? Scared witless?"
A cold smile flickered at the corner of Wei Zhao's mouth. He made as if to help Bai Weituo up, but from his hand a thread of true qi suddenly snapped out, aimed at one of the two tigers, and from his mouth came a strange sound wave...
Wei Zhao disguised it well, though; it sounded like the grunt of exertion from hauling Bai Weituo to his feet, so no one found anything amiss.
But Wei Zhao had his reasons for doing this: he was enraging the tiger before him!
In the past, Wei Zhao had spent years moving through all kinds of primeval forests, and he had a whole set of methods for dealing with such fierce beasts. Sometimes using a beast to deal with an enemy was a tactic in itself.
Wei Zhao first wounded the tiger with true qi, then used that strange sound wave to drive it into a frenzy of bloodlust. That way, even a tiger that had been tamed would turn into a mad tiger and attack whoever was nearest to it!
In the past, when Wei Zhao could not yet use true qi bombs, he had naturally used other hidden weapons to wound tigers, but that was rather conspicuous and could betray the trick. Against enemies in a primeval forest it did not matter, but here it would not do.
Wei Zhao wanted to do Zhang Duopan harm in secret, so naturally he could not let anyone see through him; therefore he used a true qi bomb directly.
That done, Wei Zhao quickly pulled Bai Weituo to his feet, drew him back, and stood some distance from Zhang Duopan. "Weituo, forget it. These tigers are no joke. Beasts like this, even tamed, may still bite. There's no shame in it. A real man can bend and stretch; staying alive is what matters. People who throw their lives away for nothing — those are the brain-dead ones!"
"Ha? Brain-dead? If you're a coward, don't dress it up in fine words. To be afraid even of a trained tiger like this — you're as timid as a mouse... Huh?" No sooner had the words left Zhang Duopan's mouth than he saw one of the two tigers pounce toward him, looking so ferocious it seemed about to swallow him whole!
Zhang Duopan was scared witless. He spun around and ran, but the tiger pursued him relentlessly! It thought Zhang Duopan had wounded it; Wei Zhao's sound wave had already left the tiger somewhat neurotic, and it took the nearest person, Zhang Duopan, as its enemy!
"Roar..." The tiger's speed was tremendous, but one of its legs had been wounded by Wei Zhao's true qi, so its mobility was severely compromised, and it could not quite catch up with Zhang Duopan...
