4. The battle of the beasts

Shen Ling gasped and screamed "Ahhh Inside the sharply dilated pupils, the snow-white figure of the tiger cub with brown and black patterns was reflected.

The tiger cub walked towards Shen Ling with slow and graceful steps, the viscous smell of blood and the innate ferocity of the ferocious carnivorous beast becoming more and more intense as the tiger cub approached. Because he was too scared, Shen Ling forgot about it and ran away. At this moment, his mind was blank, and the whole person froze in place and did not dare to move.

The tiger cub walked to Shen Ling's side, raised the tiger's head close to Shen Ling's neck, and shrugged its triangular nose, as if it was sniffing Shen Ling's body. After confirming, the tiger cub took half a step back, circled around Shen Ling again, and sniffed everywhere on Shen Ling's body.

Shen Ling was so frightened that his tears fell, and he didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only bite his lower lip tightly to stop himself from screaming, because he was too hard, and his lower lip was bitten out of a circle of blood stains.

After the tiger cub sniffed, he stood behind Shen Ling and opened his mouth wide on Shen Ling's thin right arm. The warm breath with the stench of rotten meat sprayed on Shen Ling's sleek arm, and Shen Ling's body went limp, almost falling to the ground.

The tiger cub stretched out his rough tongue and licked Shen Ling's bloodstained arm from the bottom up.

Shen Ling finally couldn't stand this terrible mental pressure of man-made swords and fish and meat, his eyes turned black and he fell to the ground.

After Shen Ling fainted, the cub's big golden eyes were full of doubts.

It first bit off the hemp rope on Shen Ling's arms and legs, and then arched Shen Ling's body with a tiger head, confirming that this fragile little man would not wake up for a while, and then used the tiger head to arch Shen Ling's body over, making him face the ground, and then drilled his head from under Shen Ling's waist little by little, sliding Shen Ling sideways from his head and neck all the way to its back.

This careful action took a lot of effort on the little white tiger.

It shouted "roar~" towards the forest, and walked carefully towards the depths of the forest.

……

Shen Ling was awakened by the bumps along the way, he opened his eyes, and saw clusters of green vines and plants swaying in front of him, because he was only wearing a thin linen clothes, and he could still feel the temperature from some kind of animal fur on his stomach.

Shen Ling lowered his head in confusion and looked at the creature carrying him, and when he saw the brown-black patterns on the white fur, he fluttered in fright, and fell from the little white tiger's body on the moist soil covered with a thick layer of decaying plants.

Sensing that the villain on his body had fallen, the little white tiger turned his head dissatisfied.

Shen Ling used both hands and feet at the same time, and casually found a direction to get up and escape, and the little white tiger caught up with him two or three times and threw him to the ground. It stuck out its tongue and licked Shen Ling's back, its sticky saliva soaking the back of Shen Ling's clothes.

"Don't eat me!" Shen Ling hugged his head and screamed.

The little white tiger licked his arm again, rubbed it affectionately, and then bit the corner of his clothes and pulled it out carefully.

The little white tiger's series of gestures of favor made Shen Ling's fear in his heart alleviate a lot, and he vaguely noticed that the little white tiger didn't seem to want to eat him, so he got up and sat on the ground with the boldness, blinking his eyes to observe the little white tiger's behavior.

The little white tiger lowered his head and bit the corner of his clothes again, pulling him in the direction of the forest.

"Do you want me to go in with you?" Shen Ling asked.

The little white tiger nodded as if he could understand human speech.

"But...... It seems scary inside. Shen Ling was still very timid, now they were only on the periphery of the forest, the leaves had already obscured the sky from the depths of the forest, and from the depths of the forest, the yin wind was blowing, accompanied by the roar of unknown beasts and all kinds of strange sounds, which made people's scalps tingle, not to mention the thunderous roar of beasts and birds he had heard when he first entered the forest. He whispered, "I'm afraid..."

"Whoa!" The little white tiger roared angrily at Shen Ling, revealing its sharp fangs menacingly. Because they were too close, a fishy breath sprayed Shen Ling's face.

Shen Ling was so frightened by the little white tiger that he was about to shed tears again. "Are you saying you'll eat me if I don't go?"

"Whoa!" The little white tiger walked around Shen Ling's back and pushed his head into the forest with his vest.

"Can't I go, can't I go?" Shen Ling wiped his face, wiped himself into a little cat, and agreed aggrievedly.

The little white tiger walked to Shen Ling's side, squatted down, and turned his head to look at Shen Ling.

Shen Ling saw the little white tiger's movements and asked, "Do you want me to sit on it?" ”

The little white tiger nodded.

Shen Ling hesitated, turned over and climbed onto the little white tiger's body. The little white tiger slowly stood up, Shen Ling was unstable and almost fell, so he quickly lowered his body and lay on the little white tiger, hugging the little white tiger's neck tightly with both hands.

At the moment when he hugged the little white tiger and his skin came into contact with his warm fur, strangely, the fear in his heart disappeared like a rapidly fading tide.

The little white tiger carried Shen Ling and galloped in the forest, the speed was incredibly fast, like a white phantom shuttling through the forest, and everywhere he went, the beasts were frightened and the birds flew. It delicately bypassed the towering ancient trees, jumped over the decaying wood that could barely be encircled by five people, swam across the wide river, left a series of footprints on the muddy depression, and startled the sea frogs the size of a four- or five-year-old child hiding in the dark of the depression.

The white tiger ran with Shen Ling on his back for a long time before running into the depths of the forest. In the depths of the dense forest, the saprophytes laid on the ground are thicker, and from the thick humus layer, the roots of countless ancient trees float on the surface, and the roots are intertwined.

The closer he got to the depths of the dense forest, the more Shen Ling could feel the radiation of a powerful force. This power was so strong that it radiated from the deeper part of the forest, filling the entire primeval forest, but on the periphery of the forest, it was so weak that it was almost impossible to perceive. Only when you are close to the realm of this Heavenly Ancient Tree can you clearly feel that this power is quietly washing the body and mind of the person who enters. Shen Ling, who was shivering with cold when he entered the dense forest, also felt a warmth like a spring day surrounded by this power.

At the same time, along with this force, the threat from the fierce beasts hidden in the depths of the dense forest became more and more obvious. Shen Ling's eyes widened, and in the dark and lightless dense forest, he saw the eyes of the strange beasts that were hiding in the darkness and shining with greedy essence. The little white tiger did not dare to slack off here, and increased the speed of running again.

I don't know how long it took to run, the trees gradually became sparse, and the soft sunlight in the evening overflowed into this dense forest from between the canopies, and under the dappled sunlight, the dense forest presented an ancient and mysterious strange beauty in front of Shen Ling's eyes.

However, the warm sunlight did not make Shen Ling feel safe, and the louder and louder roars of beasts from time to time made Shen Ling understand that the little white tiger was going to take him somewhere deeper in this dense forest, the place of strife of those most powerful and ancient groups of ferocious beasts.

Finally, the trees were so sparse that as long as Shen Ling looked up, he could see the scene in front of him clearly.

Suddenly in front of me was a steep stone cliff, with a small number of tough green plants rooted on the cliff, and fresh fractures in many places. At the top of the stone cliff, almost into the clouds, there was a hole that was bigger than Shen Ling's house.

Shen Ling just raised his eyes and could feel that powerful energy gushing out from the stone cave. And the alien beasts attracted by this energy almost turned this place into a Shura field.

In the high air not far from the entrance of the cave, dozens of birds of prey flowing with blue-black cold light cast large shadows on the cliffs. They wandered around the entrance of the cave, trying to get closer, but as if they were afraid of something, they didn't dare to come closer.

Between the cracks of the steep stone cliff, countless black shadows swayed, and Shen Ling couldn't see what kind of strange beast the black shadow was, but those green eyes made Shen Ling involuntarily think of the desert wolf that was bitten to death by the little white tiger.

In the stream below the stone cliff, a giant snake dozens of meters long rolled and wrestled with two giant biao that looked like tiger lions. The stream beneath them was stained red with blood, and when they looked up along the blood-red stream, they could see torn apart pieces of alien beasts and bones everywhere, and scavenging birds such as vultures flocks landed on large corpses to feast on them.

It is obvious that there have been more than one or two beast battles here, and in order to obtain that mysterious power, almost all the powerful beasts in the dense forest have gathered here, and now only a small part of them are revealed in front of people, and more strange beasts are hiding in the shadows at this time.

Approaching this steep cliff, the little white tiger couldn't help but slow down his pace, looked down vigilantly, and cautiously continued to move forward.

Shen Ling's hands holding the neck of the little white tiger gradually tightened, and the beast coercion that was a hundred times more powerful than the little white tiger made him even cautious about breathing. But when he got closer to this energy, there was no fear in his heart, but more anticipation and excitement.

There was still a distance of more than ten meters from the stone cliff, and the little white tiger stopped, raising his head and letting out a loud tiger roar in the direction of the stone cave. Shen Ling's face turned pale, and he looked up at the black wolf shadows between the stone cliffs at a loss. But the situation was worse than he imagined, those beasts who coveted the energy in the stone cave seemed to have received some kind of instructions, and they all turned their heads in the direction of Little White Tiger and Shen Ling.

The group of black giant wolves reacted the most quickly, as if responding to the tiger roar of the little white tiger, and the head wolf led by it also raised its head and howled. Its men jumped down from the stone cliff in a staggered and orderly manner, and pounced towards Shen Ling and the little white tiger. The two golden giant biaos in the stream that had bitten the giant snake into four or five knots had just finished a battle, and they immediately ran towards Shen Ling and the little white tiger roaring with great interest, their bright eyes full of crazy joy of killing.

On the lower reaches of the blood-red stream, dozens of fierce tiger crocodiles surfaced and staggered to the shore, accompanied by more than a dozen poisonous snakes with a body as thick as a sea bowl and a golden triangular head, winding and swimming.

A black man-bear with a height of more than ten meters, a spotted lynx with horns on its head, and a money leopard with lightning speed...... Hundreds of beasts rushed out of the dense forest.

More than beasts, there are fierce birds that shoot into the sky from the mountains and forests like countless black bullets, and the black oppressive one swoops down with the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and the sea.

All of a sudden, the roar of beasts and birds resounded through the forest.

Shen Ling was frightened by the scene in front of him, even if he was a fool, he knew that these strange beasts were coming for him and the little white tiger.
