Lin Feng hid in the shadows, motionless, he slowed down his breathing, although he had not yet achieved silence, but it was not far off. At this time, he doesn't feel like a person, but more like a plant.

Time passed like a white horse, and a quarter of an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and there was not the slightest movement in the cave, but Lin Feng did not have any impatience. Because the path of cultivation is a test of perseverance.

Finally, the hard work paid off, and after a while, there was a glimmer of light from inside the cave, which was the light emitted by the spirit stone, and it should be the beast that brought out the spirit stone inside.

Lin Feng was still wondering why there were scattered spirit stones along the way in the cave, as if they were specially used for human lighting. Now that he knew the answer, it was the beast that had been placed there on purpose, or had accidentally dropped there.

Lin Feng cheered up his spirits and was ready to go, waiting for the best opportunity to sneak attack. Slowly, the light became more and more blazing, and at the same time, there was a faint sound of footsteps.

The beast also seemed to be very careful, putting its steps very lightly, and thanks to Lin Feng being a monk, his hearing was more sensitive than ordinary people, so he could hear the faint footsteps.

Soon, the beast came out of the cave, and at this time, Lin Feng saw its appearance, which was a big cat with black fur all over its body. It is said to be a big cat, but in reality, it is more than two meters long, which is similar to that of an adult tiger.

"What kind of cat is this, and why is it so huge. Lin Feng thought in his heart, the ordinary bobcat is far from being so big, and looking at its appearance, it is indeed not a tiger, so why can it grow so big.

"No, is it a spirit beast!" Lin Feng was shocked in his heart.

A spirit beast is an animal that can absorb the aura of heaven and earth and use it to cultivate. The level division of spirit beasts is similar to that of monks, corresponding to the nine realms of monks, so humans directly divide them into first-order to ninth-order spirit beasts.

If the big black cat is a spirit beast, then it makes sense why it can grow so big, because some huge spirit beasts can even exceed a hundred meters in length.

Lin Feng hesitated a little now, because if this was just a beast, he could easily kill it with his strength, but this was a spirit beast.

The first-order spirit beast was okay, because he was already at the peak of the refinement realm, and with a medium-grade weapon, the first-order spirit beast could still deal with it. But if this is a second-order spirit beast, then it is not certain who will kill whom.

"Do you want to do it or not?"

Lin Feng struggled in his heart, making a move meant that he was in danger, and he might even die here, but if he didn't do it, he wouldn't be able to get the spirit stone in the cave safely, and he would have to be afraid when cultivating in the future.

"Roar!"

However, the big cat's spiritual sense was keen, and when Lin Feng was still struggling and hesitating, it had already spotted Lin Feng and was the first to attack. Although it is a cat, it not only has the size of a tiger, but also has a roar like a tiger.

It put down the spirit stone in its mouth and rushed straight towards Lin Feng. Lin Feng was caught off guard by this sudden incident, originally he wanted to ambush the big cat, but he didn't expect to be beaten by the big cat.

Lin Feng jumped up with a "whoosh" and left the place, dodging the big cat's pounce. If he fights in a panic, he will definitely suffer a big loss, so he can only avoid it now.

"It seems that I still lack understanding of spirit beasts, I didn't expect its spiritual sense to be so keen. Lin Feng smiled bitterly in his heart.

Because he was born in a big family, he still has some understanding of spirit beasts, originally he thought that he was hiding in the shadows, even spirit beasts could not find it, but now it seems that he still underestimated spirit beasts.

"Bang!"

As Lin Feng was thinking, the spirit beast big cat fell to the ground, smashing its limbs on the ground, making a loud noise, and instantly scattered rocks and broken earth flew sideways.

"It's a problem. Lin Feng secretly screamed. Because from the blow just now, he roughly estimated the strength of this spirit beast, which should be a second-order spirit beast.

Lin Feng's first thought was to escape, because the second-order spirit beast possessed the combat power of a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator, and Lin Feng was by no means its opponent. But how to escape, the body of the spirit beast is stronger than that of humans, and the speed is faster than that of humans, and fleeing directly is tantamount to chronic suicide.

Since he can't escape, there is only one battle, and he has an iron sword in his hand, but he doesn't have the power to fight. Since he is going to fight, he has to show his momentum, feeling the fierce gaze of the big cat, Lin Feng said to the big cat with the same ferocity: "I didn't want to argue with you, but you insisted on looking for death, then I will fulfill you." ”

"Meow!"

With a cat meow, the big cat quickly ran towards Lin Feng, and when it was close to Lin Feng, it jumped and pounced towards Lin Feng, and its right paw went straight to Lin Feng's face.

Lin Feng was not idle at this time, he took two steps back, and the iron sword swept at the big cat, wanting to slash at the big cat's neck. Sensing the danger, the big cat tossed in the air, dodged the sword, and landed on all fours. Then it kicked hard with two feet behind it, and burst towards the forest wind again.

Lin Feng moved a few steps to the side, clenched his left hand into a fist, and hit the big cat. In the face of Lin Feng's punch, the big cat was not to be outdone, raised his right paw, and slammed into Lin Feng's left hand.

How could Lin Feng's body beat a second-order spirit beast, in this fight, Lin Feng obviously suffered, and three blood marks appeared on his fist, but the corners of his mouth showed a smile at this time. When he slammed into the big cat's fist, his right hand also slashed at the big cat with a sword.

The big cat was also very responsive, and the moment it sensed the crisis, it immediately separated from Lin Feng, and its body exploded away. But Lin Feng used his left hand as bait, how could the carefully set game be so easy to get rid of, although the big cat was agile and fast, it was still injured, and a long wound was cut on its back.

The medium-grade battleweapon showed its power at this time, although the fur of the second-order spirit beast was tough, it was not enough to see in front of the iron sword, the fur was directly slashed, not only that, a sword aura was still raging the muscles near the wound.

"Meow!"

Blood flowed from the big cat's back, accompanied by a terrible meow, and it struggled to stand on the ground. Its eyes were scarlet, staring at Lin Feng vigilantly, it sensed the danger of the iron sword, and the pain caused by the wound on its back gave it the most intuitive feeling. The big cat slowly retreated, it was about to escape, although it was unwilling to leave like this, but it also knew that it was no match for the human on the other side at this time.

"Whoosh" The big cat endured the pain in his back, jumped over, and quickly left here.

"Whew"

Seeing the big cat leave, Lin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the ground all of a sudden, just now he seemed to have only suffered some minor injuries, but the pain from the back of his hand was not as easy as it seemed, he just endured the severe pain just now, and did not dare to show weakness in front of the big cat.

"Hiss"

When the body and mind are completely relaxed, the intense pain comes like a tidal wave. At this time, he carefully examined the wound, and three blood marks appeared on the back of his hand, and the wound was bone-piercing.

Fortunately, because he was often injured when he was cultivating, Lin Feng carried some trauma medicine with him and could deal with these wounds.

While bandaging, Lin Feng muttered to himself: "The second-order spirit beast is nothing more than that, although its strength and speed are better than mine, it is as vulnerable as it is in front of the iron sword. ”

Lin Feng looked at the iron sword in his hand, this victory gave him great confidence. Although a large part of this is due to weapons, it is a cross-border battle after all, and it can be said that it is indeed remarkable to be able to win.

In fact, this time it can also be said that Lin Feng's luck is good enough, because the spirit beast big cat has just stepped into the second order, which is equivalent to the early stage of the human being's Qi Gathering Realm. And Lin Feng was already in the late stage of the Tempered Body Realm, for the big cat, he already had the strength to fight, and the big cat was indeed underestimated, so Lin Feng found a chance to injure it.

Not far away, several brilliant stones shimmered brightly, which were spirit stones that had been brought out of the cave by the big cat. Lin Feng looked at the spirit stones scattered on the ground, and said suspiciously, "What does it want to do when it brings these spirit stones out?"

Spirit beasts, like monks, need the method of cultivation in order to cultivate. The difference is that if human beings want to cultivate, they can only teach the method of cultivation through others. But spirit beasts don't need it, they are born with a sense of cultivation, it is an instinct, and this instinct is engraved in their bloodlines and passed down from generation to generation.

Therefore, when these spirit stones were discovered, the big cat could have cultivated directly here, but it did not do so, but took great pains to bring the spirit stones out. There must be a demon when things go wrong, and the big cat must have its reasons for doing this.

Lin Feng guessed that in another place, there was something more precious than the spirit stone, which made the big cat unable to give up. Moreover, Lin Feng also thought of the poem in the cave yesterday, and at that time Lin Feng suspected that there should be something more precious than those spirit stones, but the clue had been broken, and he had no way to investigate, so he could only put the matter on hold.

At this time, connecting everything together, Lin Feng thought of a possibility. The clues in the cave were not damaged naturally because of time, but were destroyed by the big cat.

Spirit beasts are different from beasts, they have extremely high intelligence, not much worse than humans. And as their strength increases, they will become smarter and smarter, a high-level spirit beast, just in terms of IQ, can completely abuse ordinary humans. The clues in the cave, as long as they are not too complicated, can be completely understood by the spirit beasts.

Therefore, Lin Feng guessed that the spirit beast big cat accidentally entered the cave here, found the spirit stones and clues inside, and successfully unlocked those clues and obtained the remaining things. Because the things in the back are more precious, the big cat chooses to guard the more precious treasures in the back.

Then destroy the clues here, make sure that no one will find the place behind it, and slowly transfer the spirit stone here to the place where it lives now, so that it can swallow everything here to itself.

"If that's the case, I can now find the location of the remaining treasure by following the trail of blood it left behind. Lin Feng muttered to himself.

He was now hesitating whether to give it a go. If he chases down, the degree of danger is naturally very great, and his victory this time is completely due to luck, because of the light enemy of the big cat. But this time, the harvest is also huge, not only can you get the spirit stone here, get the more precious things that may exist, but also solve this potential enemy.

On top of that, now is definitely the best time to kill the big cat, because it is now injured and it is impossible to have the same strength as before.

"Go, wealth and danger are begging, I can even beat it when it is not injured, will I still be afraid of being injured by it!" Lin Feng made up his mind. For the sake of this opportunity, he decided to give it a go.

In fact, Lin Feng didn't make such a decision just for those treasures. Not to mention those interests, if Lin Feng didn't seize the opportunity to kill the big cat completely this time, he would have to be careful of a latent second-order spirit beast around him at all times in the future, which was a fatal threat to a cultivator in the Body Forging Realm.

Spirit beasts are very vindictive, this time Lin Feng hurt him, he will definitely come to take revenge in the future. Although Lin Feng will only live in Lan Village for another three months. He would leave here in three months and return to his family, but he would also have to think about the villagers of Lan Village.

If Lin Feng can't be found when the big cat comes to take revenge, it is very likely that he will be angry with the villagers of Lan Village. Those villagers were just mortals, and they would never be able to resist a second-order spirit beast.

After all, Lin Feng has lived here for nearly four years, and he still has feelings for Lancun, simple folk customs, and honest villagers, which make him completely regard Lancun as his second home. Although he was usually busy with cultivation and didn't have much contact with the villagers, the villagers were still very enthusiastic about him, and they regarded him as a part of the village since he came to Lan Village.
