Lu Ye had originally thought he encountered an incredibly ferocious creature, but after actually interacting with it, he found that the big tiger might not be as powerful as he had imagined.
It kept standing at the entrance of the cave, not daring to venture deeper. If its strength was truly much greater than Lu Ye's, why would there be so much unnecessary talk?
That was the first point.
The second was that after the tiger failed to obtain elixir pills from Lu Ye, it lowered its demands to Spirit Stones; failing that, it then asked for healing pills, giving off the impression of a thief who wasn't willing to leave empty-handed.
Therefore, Lu Ye deduced that although the big tiger seemed formidable, it was likely just a paper tiger.
Lu Ye took out a healing pill and placed it at his feet, as a final test.
Just as expected, the big tiger was unwilling to come close to Lu Ye and simply asked him to throw the healing pill over.
