On some steep rock walls, there are still animal bones in empty caves, and the beasts in the caves have become Takichen's meal.

Directly below the rock face is a river that runs through the forest, and the cave is in a leeward position, with raised boulders just enough to hide the entrance to the cave, reducing the possibility of being attacked by wild beasts. However, there are drawbacks, as fresh air is difficult to enter to replace obsolete gases.

It was filled with a large number of unpleasant smells left by the previous owner, and just cleaning it up made Takichen waste a lot of effort.

The ability to facilitate the fruit plays an unexpected role at this moment, and the air circulation system created along the sides of the rock wall keeps the air fresh at all times.

The inside of the cave is stored with the jerky that Takijin used to survive the winter, and the vacuum environment specially created can keep the jerky for a long time.

Winter arrived almost a week sooner than the normal turn of the seasons, and before that, Takitashi barely prepared for the arrival of winter.

Bundles of oil wood were piled up next to the cave, forming a hill. They were discovered by chance by Takita, a highly flammable oilwood that was able to keep a vigorous flame burning for a long time.

The juice from the tarmac from the tarmac tree is perfect as a vegetable oil and is poured over dried meat and grilled. Moreover, the shell of the tartar fruit is also a natural protective shield, which can ensure that the fruit is not affected by the environment and breeds spoilage fungi.

The cave is paved with gravel and a few fluorescent grasses are transplanted on both sides, which not only ensures the beauty of the living environment, but also does not worry about the problem of cultivating too many plants.

As for the sleeping place, because of the discomfort of the human form, Takichen dug a space 4 meters high and covering an area of 60 cubic meters in the side wall, isolated the soil with stones, and laid wooden planks and treated animal fur on top of it after laying it with fluffy hay.

As for fruits and the like, since it's already winter, the only ones that can be picked are snow fruits.

The white fruits were grown in winter, and with the beasts guarding the trees, and the time it took to wait for them to ripen, Takichen decided to replace them with something else.

However, in a short period of time, Takichen must have lost access to those fruits, and the only thing that could be used as an after-dinner snack was the pile of ugly fruits that were also piled up inside the cave and picked from the hundred-meter-high trees.

Because of the need to prepare dried meat for the winter, Takichen had hunted many wild beasts before that, and a lot of skins that had been simply processed and useless had also piled up, and the only good quality was the brownish-gray furs that were used as small nests.

It was a brown bear that had taken a lot of effort to kill, and it was three stories tall on its body alone, but it was very warm to make clothes to keep out the cold.

Finding shelter, then gathering firewood and preparing food and clothing for the winter is a realistic version of a survival game, no matter how you look at it.

"Thirty-eight, it's not enough."

In front of Takita, a giant six-legged iron beetle fell in a pool of green blood.

There is no shortage of giant beasts on this island, they are very powerful and perfect for physical training.

Among them, this armor-type insect is very good at competing with the enemy, relying on the horns on the top of its head, like a runaway train with the huge force generated by the sprint, stabbing the horns into the prey, and then piercing the prey.

The steel-hard armor of these beetles makes them immune to most physical damage, and their prey will often struggle to break free of the horns on the head of the six-legged beetles, tearing the wounds and dying in agony.

Time has passed, and Takichen has been here for ten years.

Although this island is very dangerous, the fierce beasts on the island cannot cause any damage to Takita, who is a natural Devil Fruit ability, and it is very easy for him to escape, and it is almost impossible for him to use his ability to resist ordinary physical damage.

However, this is also the plan that Takichen used to avoid the crisis when he first entered here.

Now, in the case of desperately wanting to improve his strength, he naturally can't continue to escape, and he has been practicing for many years.

If the past six years were to consolidate physical fitness and lay a solid foundation for the future, then these years are undoubtedly the time when Takitsu began to break out. After years of accumulation, after the complete transformation of the body, the terrifying potential also exploded.

It's something you once had, and even if you forget it, it's easy to pick it up again as your memories come back.

Although it is impossible to cover the entire island, the domineering ability of seeing and hearing is combined with the development of the fruit's ability, as long as there is air, it can be clearly perceived even if it is tens of meters underground.

At present, this natural fruit also has strong plasticity as an auxiliary direction of development, and with the current body, even if it is not deliberately defensive, ordinary blades cannot penetrate the scale armor.

The space displacement with the fruit's ability is very similar to Luo's "room", but the condition is that there needs to be air and cannot carry lifeforms.

This ability allows Takichen to move at will within a radius of hundreds of meters, just like a "flash", he can ignore obstacles and flash instantly, but he will not be like Luo, because frequent use of the ability consumes a lot of physical strength.

After in-depth development of the fruit ability, Takichen has also mastered the ability to fly, and is able to merge his body into the air, thereby erasing the weight of his body to achieve air walking, and even being able to make his body elementalized and hidden in the air under special circumstances.

Of course, it's not just about controlling the air, it's also about creating it. But this is not worth the loss, not only is it a waste of physical strength, but also the type of gas contained in the air is not clear, he can only tell whether it is suitable for breathing by the proportion of gas in the air.

After several years of mastery, the overlord color domineering can be used at will, but it can only deter people who are not strong enough, or some beasts. And this is not something that Takichen can strengthen through training, it can only be accumulated slowly through the precipitation of time.

In the past few years, Takichen has mainly practiced swordsmanship, armed color domineering, and the physical training necessary for the use of swordsmanship, and competing with these huge creatures is one of the cultivation links.

So far, almost all kinds of creatures on the island have been visited, and among them is the very powerful Titan-level black-backed gorilla, even the giant beetle, which is known for its strength, can fly with one punch.

However, until the year before last, Takichen had been able to receive the full force of the giant black-backed gorilla with only physical strength.

And today, it is the last day for Takichen to prepare for the defeat of the island overlord - the Tiger in the Clouds, with a huge size like a hill and the unattainable strength and speed, even if Takichen can reach the speed of a hurricane, it is only the same as it.

"Celestial Blade Flash."

The corpse of the Bird of Surprise fell from mid-air, and in an instant, almost a thousandth of a second, Takichen directly crossed a distance of 100 meters to cut down the birds and beasts flying in the sky.

This is a sword technique specially developed by Takichen in order to catch up with the speed of the tiger in the clouds, and it took almost a whole year to successfully do it by relying on the fruit ability.

The stronger the sword skills, the more the corresponding effort will be, even if Takichen has a strong physique, it can't support the consumption caused by the repeated use of the "Heavenly Blade Lightning Step".

After all, Takichen, who thought he was able to walk sideways on the island two years ago, was well entertained by the tiger in the clouds, and if he didn't give some gifts, he couldn't get over it.

Also, now it's time to show off the results, and the sword skills specially created to kill it can't just leave with regrets.

With the faint light of the rising sun, a touch of morning light illuminates the sky.

Whether it is a forest or a mountain hill, the creatures that live on this island and the plants that grow on it are huge, and even the tiny ants are the size of motorcycles.

The rich and colorful ecology is almost more magical than any plant Takizu has ever seen, and these scenes like a fantasy story can't help but amaze Takita.

Flames burned in the wood piles, and the roasted meat flowing with golden juice gave off an enticing aroma, and the cooked pieces of meat were wrapped in fan-shaped leaves, and Takitatsu took one of them.

From the foot of the mountain, on the top of the mountain surrounded by clouds, the huge body of the tiger in the clouds loomed.

It nests at the highest point of the mountain, and its appearance is exactly like that of a tiger, but it has a pair of wings on its back, and because of its unmatched speed and body, there are few creatures on the island that can match it, so it can be said that it is a true island overlord.

It's an island where there's never a shortage of food, and the fertile land has nurtured generations of beasts of prey. At the same time, this is also a very dangerous island, if you don't have the strength to match, you can't survive on this island at all, and you will only be reduced to the rations of fierce beasts, and it may not be enough to stuff your teeth.

The huge figure swooped down, the desperately screaming and struggling beast was carried into the air, and the giant bird with the beast in its mouth flew past Takitomi with the food of the day.

"Let's make a break today, big cat."

The sturdy figure quickly shuttled between the mountains and rocks, each step seemed to shrink into inches, suddenly appeared on the ground from the rocks, and then left a figure on the other side, as if shuttling through the doors of one space after another.

The overlord color domineering can deter all beasts in terms of setting, but it has no effect on most of the beasts on this island, perhaps this can also indicate that they have been out of the category of ordinary beasts to a certain extent.

"Roar~"

The deafening sound spread almost throughout the island, the behemoth awoke, and even the clouds surrounding the mountain peaks dissipated with the roar of the tiger in the clouds.

Its true face was completely exposed to the sun, and compared to its massive body, Takichen was as small as a mouse at the foot of an elephant, even though he was now more than three meters tall. However, even elephants with their large bodies are still afraid of mice.

The tiger in the cloud slapped a claw at the little dot in front of him, it was already dissatisfied, and planned to slap this little dot who disturbed his sleep to death.

However, Takichen did not do what he wanted, and forcibly took the huge claws that roared.

The rock, which had cracked, collapsed again because it could not withstand the tremendous force. However, the claws of the tiger in the clouds were firmly caught by Takichen, even though there was a stone pit several meters deep under him, although this was also thanks to the fact that his body was strong enough.

"Airburst bombs."

The air around Takichen compressed into several spheres, quickly flew towards the wings of the tiger in the clouds, and then forced the tiger in the clouds back with a violent explosion.

With a roar of pain and rage, the tiger in the clouds stared at Taki Chen, a pair of eyes the size of a water tank exuding hatred to the bone, some of its wings were blown up, and blood fell like raindrops.

In the past, this little guy also used this way to disturb his sweet dreams repeatedly, but at that time, these things did not have such a powerful destructive power.

Takichen stepped on the moon step to the tiger in the clouds, and when he was about to make up for the big cat, a wave of air mixed with an unpleasant smell rushed to his face, and the sky also darkened at this moment, and Takichen hurriedly flashed to the side, only to avoid the fate of being eaten.

With his five fingers clenched, Takichen instantly appeared on the top of the head of the tiger in the clouds, and the right fist covered with the domineering spirit of the armed color hit the tiger in the clouds with a heavy blow at the moment when it was close to its forehead.

"Is this all right..."

The head of the tiger in the cloud almost sank into the mountain rock, but it was not hurt too much, and after a while it stood up.

It exuded a dangerous aura all over its body, and after forcing Takitaki back with its tiger claws, it soared into the air, leaving an afterimage in the air at a speed that was unreachable to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, the place where Takitaki was before turned into a huge pit, and the mountain peak seemed to have been gnawed. Then, the tiger in the cloud flew into the air again.

"Do you think I'm going to let you run away again? Skyblade Flash! ”

At the moment when the tiger in the cloud flew back into the air, Takichen, who had escaped the catastrophe, swung his knife and cut off its wings.

Blood gushed out like a fountain, staining half the mountain red, followed by anger after losing his mind in the clouds.

Out-of-control beasts are often the most terrifying, but in Takichen's body, there is no chance to confirm this. Whether it is dodging or attacking, under the ability of this natural fruit, the tiger in the cloud can be said to have no chance of winning, and can only vent its anger on the surrounding rocks.

With the gradual loss of blood, the tiger in the cloud ushered in the last sword light of life, and the huge corpse rolled down the mountain.

With the end of the Tiger in the Clouds, the clouds surrounding the mountains had already drifted away, but the figure standing in front of the headless corpse seemed to have already known and remained unmoved.

In the time since that death, Takichen has regained some of his memories, and he has learned that this is just an empty and real space, and that at the end of the ocean, there is only a hazy nothingness.

Before, he couldn't kill the tiger in the clouds, and he couldn't leave here, but now, it's time to say goodbye.

"I know you're looking, I've killed the strongest creature here, and it's time for me to leave."

Takichen almost shouted into the air with a roar, but no one answered him, just like before.

Over the years, almost all the methods I can think of have been experimented, and nothing has worked, as if I was locked up in some space.

Because of this problem, Takichen ended up aiming for something similar to the system.

Just like the last time they were reborn after death, they appear in strange and uninhabited places, and at the same time provide enough and suitable powerful beasts on the island. If you think in such a direction, then you are likely to be used as a tool man, because you don't have enough strength to be deliberately arranged.

"If you want me to do things for you, then let me go, if I'm stuck here all the time, the task you need me to accomplish will only be far away."

It's been ten years, but Takichen's appearance hasn't changed in the slightest, and he's still sixteen years old.

Even if there was no news of the suspected system in the past ten years, Takichen didn't think it had disappeared, and the fragmented memories he recalled before made him sure that there was a big mystery hidden in him.

Another attempt did not meet the desired results, that is, he Takichen would be trapped here forever, with the face of sixteen years old and immortal life with the beast as his companion.

No, such a thing is absolutely not allowed.

"I don't want a meaningless eternal life, I won't accept this ridiculous world."

Sharp claws pierced through the entire chest, and the fatal wound almost sent Takitsu to the western sky, and blood flowed out of the wound, nose, and mouth like flowing water. But even so, the body continued to heal slowly, trying to prevent the host from dying.

He had endured it for a long time, and thought it was just a trial; I thought that as long as I killed the strongest tiger in the clouds, I would be able to leave here; I thought that being the strongest would be able to end this loneliness, but it turned out that this was just my own conjecture.

Heavy drowsiness erodes the brain, and even the pain can no longer be felt, and the hollow in the center of the body can even see the blood-stained rocks, and Takita, who fell to the ground, still raised the corners of his mouth until the last moment of his life, as if he was laughing at the impotence of life.
