I'm a Scaled Tiger, how am I supposed to understand the Human tongue?

Set was gobsmacked! If he could kill one of these beasts he would earn a hundred blood points! But, of course, as always high rewards come with high risks, and so Set asked,

"What's so special about these beasts?"

[All of them mutated and created their core weapons] answered the system with its usual plain voice. Set was speechless! Researchers concluded that the possibility for Saint and Demon beasts to mutate and create a core weapon was close to none. While the definite element was never identified, celestial beasts over the World-class had a far better chance of mutating than those of the lower levels. Now, however, Set had a whole list of these beasts ready for harvest.

"If this is not destiny, then I do not know what it is!" said Set with a big smile on his face. He looked at the list, then curiously asked, "Wait, are you telling me that these beasts are the only ones in the celestial planes who have managed to mutate and created a core weapon, while still in Demon-class?"

[That is correct]

Set was shocked, but surprise quickly turned into sadness and frustration. Why? You ask. Don't forget that the celestial planet was an entire planed full of monster. And the chances of these beasts' forming a group and hanging around in the same area were absolutely, undeniably, zero! Trying to find these Ten beasts was like trying to find ten needles in a haystack, the size of a planet!

Set sadly asked, "At least tell me where they are." The system went quiet, but after a moment of silence said,

[The location for each beast is available]

Set was cheerful. At least, if he knew where they were, then eventually he would be able to locate them, right?

Set was surprised. He knew half of the locations, but since the locations were very far, he was still a little down. The closest was the Death Valley and that was a month's ride away. Even though being close was a good thing, it defeats the purpose of quickly gaining blood points. As he could earn the blood points needed and then sum within two days of travel.

After a while of thinking, Set came up with an idea and you could tell it was something crazy from the sinister grin on his face. He asked the system if the toxic gas and corrosive liquid would disperse or lose their effect. But he was reassured by the system that the toxins would stay in the region for a single day(24 hours) before being dispersed. Set grinned evilly and quickly opened the map copied from the attendant by the system and quickly flew to one of the hot spots on the King Raven's back.

Around an hour later, Set arrived at a large lake the size of a dozen football fields, surrounded by dense forestry. The lake was clear and had a hint of green, making it look majestic. The most dominant beast in the lake was the Gray Scale Fish, while some other beasts were there they weren't as abundant as the Gray Scaled Fish. As Set was marveling at the beauty of the lake he was distracted by the sound of a roar.

As he turned toward the origin of the roar, he was met with the sight of a little boy with a black bow and a quiver on his back. By the looks of it, the boy was around three to four years old. But because he was wearing a hood, his face was shrouded in darkness. After a few seconds of the boy appearing, a tiger, the size of a bull, came charging out with red eyes. It was coated in deep black scales and had bull-like horns on its head.

"What's a kid doing here?" Set was puzzled. Even if the little guy wasn't human, at such a tender age, his parents wouldn't let him go hunting, right? The boy immediately jumped into the lake. He swam franticly as if his life depended on it because frankly, it did. But after observing the kid for a few moments, Set was stunned. The kid was swimming at a mind-boggling speed. If he and the kid raced, Set was sure that he would lose.

The tiger leaped into the lake and quickly swam towards the boy. But what came next, Set could have never expected.

"You have nowhere to run! If you stop now my Seven Kill Demonic Clan will spare your puny life!" said the Scaled Tiger. Set was shocked!

He was gobsmacked! He was scared shitless! He was horrified! He was excited! From shock to terror, to a creepy smile, all sorts of emotions flashed across his face. Set remembering the speed at which the kid was running and swimming, hearing the Scaled Tiger speak in the Human tongue... He connected the dots. It was not unusual to encounter beasts with communicative abilities but to encounter ones who can speak and understand the Human language was rare. The only ones recorded to have that ability were the truly top dogs of the celestial planes. But it was too early to get excited. The Scaled Tiger quickly caught up to the boy, but before he could do anything he was pushed back by an invisible force.

"What, what is this?!" asked the Scaled Tiger in confusion. The kid was similarly puzzled... Oh wait, my mistake, he was busy swimming for his life. The Scaled Tiger quickly tried again, but it was to no avail. An unseen force would drive it back each time it tried to chase after the boy. As the Scaled Tiger searched around to catch the culprit, the sight of a giant King Raven fell upon his eye. The Scaled Tiger was horrified. 'I was too focused on the brat and didn't see a giant beast like that! I'm dead for sure! 'Even though Set was a distance away from the lake, in the eyes of the Scaled Tiger and the kid, King Raven was still a giant beast.

The boy looked at King Raven and swam even faster, covering ten meters in under a second. On Set's order, King Raven dived, heading straight for the Scaled Tiger. King Raven had dived down in a single second and grabbed the Scaled Tiger from the lake using its sharp talons. By the color of its eyes, Set already knew the Scaled Tiger celestial beast was a Demon. The Scaled Tiger didn't even have time to retaliate, by the time he realized what had happened; King Raven was a hundred meters above the lake. Of course, under the speed of the King raven even World-class beasts would shudder, it was no different for this puny Demon.

"Almighty Raven, please, save this one's life," the Scaled Tiger pleaded, his face twisted by fear. Hearing this King Raven stopped in the mid-air, flapping his wings to maintain its current position. After this, Set pulled out his Titan Blade and jumped on to it.

Hovering in the air, Set slowly descended to the Scaled Tiger and in an icy tone said, "Answer my questions or plummet to your death!"

The Scaled Tiger was scared shitless by the sudden appearance of a Human, and quickly roared as if to say "I'm but a humble Scaled Tiger, how am I supposed to understand the human tongue?" Set hearing the roar was excited. The more the beast denied, the more he confirmed Set's theory. He tried to suppress his excitement, but the smile that appeared on his face could not be managed. The Scaled Tiger was frightened, gazing at Set's smile. The smile on Set's face may have been simple and innocent, but to the Scaled Tiger it was the Devil's smile! He couldn't help but go to the worst-case scenario. As he was contemplating his choices he heard Set's icy voice again,

"King Raven, DROP HIM!"
