Chapter 12: The Red Golden Tiger
There are two flowers, one on each branch. But it was said that after Yu Hai ran down the mountain gate that day, he ran straight to a mountain forest attached to Kunlun. He went down the mountain this time and took over the task of eliminating the Red Golden Tiger in the mountain gate. The Red Golden Tiger itself is only a second-order demonic beast, and monks who practice qi above the fifth level can hunt and kill alone, and the steward of the Kunlun sect that issues tasks stipulates that if you want to complete this task, you must complete it in a team of more than two people, but it is not counted to hunt alone. The monks are more quiet, and more people like to be alone, and the reward given after the completion of this task is not very rich, so although this task has been hanging on the list, no one has ever taken it. Yu Hai went down the mountain this time to practice, and he had already taken over other tasks in the sect, but a senior sister who worshiped under the same division as him never forgot the pair of eyes of the red golden tiger, and heard that he was going down the mountain to practice, so he came to the door, and he took this task together.
The red golden tiger has a golden yellow body, thick hair, and if the fur of the whole body is sold in the bazaar, it can also be exchanged for about ten lower-grade spirit stones, although in the eyes of the monks, ten lower-grade spirit stones are nothing, when in the world, ten lower-grade spirit stones can be used as a meal for an ordinary person for a few months. But for ordinary people, ten low-grade spirit stones are certainly exciting, but after all, the Red Golden Tiger is a second-order demonic beast, and for monks, it is just a matter of hands, but for ordinary people, it is life-threatening. Therefore, although the Red Golden Tiger is only a second-order demonic beast, it is not something they can provoke, and in the long run, ordinary monks do not want to hunt and kill the Red Golden Tiger, but ordinary people want to hunt and kill it, but they have the heart to do it, and finally caused a large area of the Red Golden Tiger to flood, although for the monks, the Red Golden Tiger is really not lethal, but the people under the mountain are deeply affected by it, and they are miserable, so they asked for the Kunlun Sect and asked the sect to send someone to eliminate the Red Golden Tiger.
The best thing about this red golden tiger is its eyes, the monks are not interested in its life, nor in its fur, but in its pair of eyes. If you pick out your eyeballs when you are still alive, the eyeballs will show a glass-like brilliance, but if you take them out after it has lost its life, it will turn grayish and white, without any brilliance. Therefore, many male monks will go to catch a red golden tiger and take out its eyeballs to give to the female cultivators as a token of affection. The people under the mountain also met most of the red gold tiger without eyeballs, after the red gold tiger was taken out of the eyeballs, the eyes could not see, the animals have the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil, there are many of its natural enemies in the forest, after losing their eyesight, it also knew that it only had to be devoured by other monsters, so it ran to the village to harm the people. After all, this is the trouble caused by the monks.
Yu Hai and the senior sister met at an entrance in the mountains and forests, when Yu Hai arrived at the place, the senior sister waited for a while, only to see a girl in a red dress standing slim at the entrance, with a flowing cloud bun on her head, and when she turned her head, she could see clearly that her face was like a full moon, quite pleasing. Yu Hai stepped forward and saluted, but the senior sister didn't say anything, turned around and ran towards the forest. Yu Hai thought that it was the first time for her to come here, and wanted to mention her, but seeing her like this, he didn't want to say anything.
Yu Hai's senior sister, surnamed Xiao, with a single name "Qi", before she arrived in Kunlun, she was also a young lady in the family, and after arriving in Kunlun, the brothers in the division read that she was a girl and took good care of her, so she developed some willful problems. Although he was carrying the Three Spirit Roots and entered the door earlier than Yu Hai, his current cultivation was only at the fifth level of Qi training. At the same time, the female cultivator loves beauty, and there is a female cultivator in the sect who always loves to fight with her, so most of the time is spent fighting with the female cultivator. In addition, this is her first time going down the mountain to practice, and she has no actual combat experience, so there are generally teams in the sect who are reluctant to take a drag oil bottle like her. But Yu Hai felt that Senior Sister Xiao took good care of herself on weekdays, and the level of the Red Golden Tiger was not high, so she could handle it herself, so she went down the mountain with her. Now it seems that his decision is a bit reckless. But the matter has come to this point, and it is impossible to send her back to the mountain gate now, and Yu Hai also knows that if he says this, Senior Sister Xiao will not give herself a good face in the mountain gate in the future.
An afternoon passed, Yu Hai and Xiao Qi only met a red golden tiger, or someone else gouged out their eyeballs and released it, without Xiao Qi making a move, Yu Hai solved it alone. Until the evening, neither of them met the Red Golden Tiger again. Seeing that it was getting late and the dangers in the forest were increasing, Yu Hai said to Xiao Qi: "Senior sister, I think the red gold tiger in this mountain forest should be almost wiped out, we won't gain anything if we look for it any longer, it's better to forget it today, it's getting late, for the sake of the safety of the senior sister, the senior sister should rush back to the mountain gate, if the junior brother is lucky enough to meet the red golden tiger, he will definitely take its eyeballs and give them to the senior sister, okay?" Xiao Qi didn't think so in her heart, firstly, she had never gone down the mountain, and she did not know the dangers of the mountains and forests at night, and secondly, she had not found the eyeballs of the Red Golden Tiger, which was quite unwilling. The woman who often opposes her in the mountain gate got a pair of red gold tiger eyeballs a few days ago, and she took them to show off in front of herself, she didn't take it to heart, the red gold tiger's eyeballs are not a rare thing, and she can get it when she can go down the mountain alone for a period of time to practice, but then she heard that the red gold tiger eyeballs that the woman got were given by a senior brother she loved, and then she was angry, the red gold tiger's eyes were ordinary, but if it was given to the female cultivator by the male cultivator, it means that the male cultivator was devoted to the female cultivator, I want to form a double monastic with her. It's infuriating that the senior brother didn't show any thoughts on weekdays, and even agreed with Xiao Qi that after Xiao Qi built the foundation, he would ask her master to marry her and become a double cultivation partner with her. Xiao Qi cultivated very seriously for a while because of his words, but after he cultivated to the fifth level of Qi cultivation and exited the level, he heard such news. She wanted to go to the senior brother to theorize, but she was disgusted when she thought that he and the woman were now staying together like glue, so she didn't plan to go to him again, the red golden tiger's eyes can also be possessed by her own ability, she planned to have the red golden tiger's eyes and then put them in front of the pair of dog men and women, and told the woman: "The red golden tiger's eyes, I can take them myself, man, but the broken shoes I don't want, if you want it, I'll give it to you." The thought of such a scene made her feel happy, so she must not be able to go home empty-handed this time! Thinking of this, she said, "Don't be in a hurry today, let's find a place to rest first, and then look for it after dawn tomorrow." Yu Hai was a little helpless, but he could only respond. When he came, Shizun explained to him and took good care of his sister, she was a girl, and it was the first time she went out, so it was inevitable that there would be some omissions in her actions, so she asked him to take care of her more. Yu Hai agreed to the master, but now that he thinks about it, it is really better not to agree.
The day before yesterday, a fellow junior sister had a pair of red gold tiger eyes, and he had also heard a little about it. On weekdays, her senior sister Xiao didn't deal with that junior sister, and this time she came out to hunt and kill the red golden tiger and take her eyeballs, probably because she was also stimulated by that junior sister. Yu Hai knew that his senior sister Xiao was a fiery temper, a little bit of temperament, and she was also a very arrogant and straightforward person on weekdays, and it was said that she usually suffered a lot of hidden losses at the hands of that senior sister, but she always healed her scars and forgot the pain and continued to fight with her. Yu Hai privately disagreed with this senior sister's approach, but after all, she was her own fellow senior sister, and she had received a lot of favors from her when she first entered the mountain gate.
The mountains and forests are not suitable for flying, and Yu Hai took his Liuyun Sword to open the way in front. It was getting late, the last rays of the setting sun were fainting, and the mountains and forests were suddenly darkened. There was no moon tonight, and the roar of wild beasts could be heard from time to time in the dark mountains and forests. Yu Hai released a wisp of divine sense, carefully probing the way, observing the surroundings. He was a little worried, the mountains and forests at night were not safe, and if he encountered danger, he still had the ability to protect himself, but Senior Sister Xiao had only just reached the fifth level of Qi training, and it was a question of where to put her at that time. There is still a distance from the mountain gate here, and there are few people living around because of the red golden tiger, think about the radius of a hundred miles, but it is really desolate. At night, their eyesight is limited, but those demonic beasts that live in this mountain forest are different from them, Yu Hai saw in a book in Shuhailou that there are a variety of demonic beasts living in this mountain forest, and their cultivation is above the second order, and there are even fifth-order demonic beasts infested, but fifth-order demonic beasts are generally active in the inner perimeter of the mountain forest, and they will not easily go to the periphery. He and Senior Sister Xiao are now on the periphery of the mountains and forests, although they are safe for the time being, no one can say what kind of magical beasts will appear in the mountains and forests at night. The mountains and forests at night can even be said to be the world of Warcraft, and he doesn't want to lose his life because of a moment of carelessness.
Yu Hai walked to a thick old tree and stopped, and looked around carefully, there was no trace of large creatures nearby, presumably it should be borderless. In his opinion, there are many animals and few birds in this mountain forest, so it is safest to stay in the trees at night. Yu Hai turned back to Xiao Qi and said, "Senior Sister Xiao, let's rest on this lesson tree for one night tonight, and tomorrow we will go to other mountains to find the Red Golden Tiger." Xiao Qi nodded and jumped up first, Yu Hai took out a small array plate from the storage bag, fiddled with it, and put it under the tree, and then jumped up the tree. Xiao Qi saw the array for the first time, and was a little curious, so he asked, "What is that?" Yu Hai picked up a thicker tree trunk and sat down, and Fang replied: "It's the array plate, if any demonic beasts pass by here, it can help us hide our figures, so that the demonic beasts can't find us." Xiao Qi nodded, originally she wanted Yu Hai to take it up for herself, but seeing that Yu Hai's face was not good, she didn't want to say more, so she stopped. Yu Hai took out some food and water from the storage bag and handed it to Xiao Qi, who said "thank you" and ate it. Xiao Qi also knew that his decision just now was a bit embarrassing for Yu Hai, after all, this was not Kunlun Mountain, and if he encountered any danger, he would become the one who dragged his feet. Xiao Qi was a little angry for his own incompetence for the first time, it is said that he has the three spiritual roots, the support of the worldly family, and the teachings of the master, and he entered the door earlier than Yu Hai, so his cultivation should be higher than him, so it is not in vain for him to call himself a senior sister. It's just weird, I put my mind elsewhere on weekdays, and I didn't practice seriously. If it weren't for that scumbag senior brother this time, it is estimated that he would not even be able to reach the fifth level of qi cultivation at this time. Thinking of this, she felt that she should give them a little affection in the face of the pair of dog men and women, how to say, that scumbag also helped herself. Thinking about it this way, she felt that she didn't need to rush to find them, she should practice her cultivation, and then beat them to the ground in the sect competition, so that they couldn't raise their heads in front of all the disciples in Kunlun, which was the best policy. And in the big competition of the sect, there are many uncles and uncles to testify, and she is also justified. Xiao Qi solved the food and water in this kind of nonsense, and then she stood up and moved a little, and then found a slightly spacious place to meditate.
Yu Hai had a moment of relaxation since he had just finished placing the array plate, and seeing that Xiao Qi had already begun to meditate, he concentrated again, his mind was wide open, and he paid attention to his surroundings.
In the first half of the night, it was safe, and there were also a few third-order demonic beasts passing under the tree, but because of the array, they didn't find the two people in the tree. Yu Hai breathed a sigh of relief and was ready to close his eyes and rest for a while. However, at this moment, his divine sense suddenly detected a faint divine sense less than a hundred meters away from them. Yu Hai frowned, before stopping, he obviously looked carefully, there were no creatures nearby, and he didn't find anything strange about that place in the first half of the night. Now a divine sense suddenly appeared, although it was very weak, but Yu Hai did not dare to underestimate it. Yu Hai frowned, only staring more closely at the divine sense, but did not dare to make any other moves. It is said that the mountains and forests here belong to the jurisdiction of Kunlun, and most of the monks who can appear here are Kunlun disciples, or disciples of the sect who are good friends with Kunlun, but this divine sense, Yu Hai is not sure whether it is a human or a beast, he is not like Xiao Qi, the first time he went down the mountain, he didn't understand anything, he had already teamed up with his brothers and sisters to come here before, he knew that some high-level demon beasts in this mountain forest would open their spiritual wisdom and cultivate their divine consciousness like human cultivation.
