Chapter Seventy-Four: The Imperial City People Are Surging in Darkness
Hutou Cliff, because the mountain shape resembles the head of a tiger, and this place is also very weird, like a tiger's lair, from the first level to the fifth level of tiger monsters like to run there, but about a few decades ago, hundreds of people and horses organized by several big forces in Yanshan Town, after the Great Cleansing near Hutou Cliff, the number of monsters has decreased significantly.
In fact, this is also a helpless move, the location of the Tiger Head Cliff is too embarrassing, it is the only way to enter the periphery of the Netherworld, many teams with weaker strength in the past, not to mention entering the periphery of the Netherworld Forest to hunt demonic beasts in exchange for some spirit crystals, Hutou Cliff alone will not pass.
Along the way, Ning Feng noticed several small groups, as few as four or five people, and as many as about a dozen, but they all nodded to each other and hurried away, and few people stayed to talk.
"Ahead is the Tiger Head Cliff, the fourth-level demonic beast we want to hunt is on the west side of the Tiger Head Cliff, follow me later, we will try to complete the task as quickly as possible, and rush back to Yanshan Town before dark, if it drags on until night, this land is too dangerous." ”
Chen Dahu was always in front, and Chen Xiaohu slowed down at this time and said to Ning Feng and Ouyang Ning, two novices.
"What's the danger?" Ouyang Ning asked curiously, and Zhang Xiaolong on the other side also leaned his head over, and deliberately frightened Ning Feng and the others in a gloomy tone.
"You rookies have to be careful, there are monsters there at night, and they love to eat your delicate skin and tender meat. ”
Ouyang Ning was startled, his face turned a little blue, and Chen Xiaohu immediately glared at Zhang Xiaolong.
"Don't listen to this guy's nonsense, the danger I'm talking about is actually the monsters that walk around at night, and there are other mercenary groups, remember, the monsters are not terrible, the most terrible are people, there are several large mercenary groups near this Hutou Cliff that specialize in this, snatching the tasks of other small teams. ”
Ning Feng nodded thoughtfully, taking Chen Xiaohu's words to heart.
Hutou Cliff, speaking of which is a place name, is actually not ordinarily big, and around noon, Ning Feng and the others slowly approached the place marked on the mercenary mission drawing.
"In front of the river, there is a cave, in the cave is the one-eyed long-tailed tiger, this guy has a lot of strength, and moves quickly, but it has one eye that blinds people, so the vision is easy to affect its judgment and reaction time, Xiaolong's legs and feet are agile, you go to the vicinity to control the wind, pay attention to other monsters to notify us immediately, Brother Ning and Uncle Dong are waiting for us here, you also observe the surroundings, Sister Mage and Xiaohu and I will go over. ”
After Chen Dahu finished speaking, he crossed the river first, and Zhang Xiaolong and a few others followed behind.
Ning Feng also knew that this big tiger brother was taking care of himself, of course he was embarrassed to object, although he also wanted to fight the one-eyed long-tailed tiger, so as to run in his martial arts and spirit seal.
"Little brother, let's go, let's go to rest under the big tree, it is estimated that they will not be able to come back for a while, the fourth-level demonic beast is still very terrifying." Dong Bo said with a smile, and he walked towards a big tree not far from him, and Ning Feng immediately followed.
The two of them were bored and began to rest, Ning Feng took off the cauldron on his body, put down the burden on his shoulders, and half-squinted, but thought in his heart, this big tiger brother They are really patient, and after so long, there is no movement.
Suddenly, Ning Feng heard the sound of dead leaves being trampled, the sound was very soft, but extremely heavy, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he secretly used his spiritual sense to check, and found that less than three feet away from the two of them, there was a behemoth leaning over and slowly approaching.
Ning Feng's face suddenly changed, could it be the one-eyed long-tailed tiger?
He gently touched his right hand to the broken sword behind him, held his breath, and his spiritual sense did not dare to relax at all, seeing that Dong Bo's face was not different, he had the intention to remind him, but he was afraid of startling the dormant monster.
Ning Feng slowly kicked the medicine box next to him, the medicine box was at Dong Bo's feet, Dong Bo immediately noticed it, so he turned his head and wondered: "What's wrong, little brother?"
"Get down!" Ning Feng roared, his figure jumped up suddenly, and the broken sword and the tiger claw behind him collided heavily behind Dong Bo's back, Ning Feng was slapped back a few meters, and the one-eyed long-tailed tiger also retreated half a foot.
Roar......
With a tiger roar, Chen Dahu and the others, who were holding a few cubs around the cave at this moment, immediately changed their expressions, and ran towards Ning Feng and them with the tiger cubs.
The tiger's roar resounded through the mountains and forests, and Dong Bo also came back to his senses, and saw the one-eyed giant tiger pounce again, and hurriedly dodged to the side, but his realm was too low after all, and he was too old and slow, so it was almost impossible to dodge this claw.
Ning Feng naturally couldn't see Dong Bo killed, so he calmed down his shocked qi and blood slightly, grabbed the broken sword and blocked it in front of Dong Bo.
Keng ......
A sound that looked like metal colliding came out, and Ning Feng's hands trembled, but he still didn't avoid it, but yelled.
"Uncle Dong, hurry up and cross the river, go find Brother Big Tiger and they will help!"
Although Dong Bo looked a little flustered, after all, he had gone on countless missions with Chen Dahu, and he ran to the river without much hesitation.
"Little brother, hold on! I'll call them for help right away. ”
Ning Feng was immediately relieved when he saw Dong Bo leaving, he was worried that the power of his martial arts would be too great, and it would affect Dong Bo, so he didn't dare to make a rash move.
One person and one tiger separated again, and the one-eyed long-tailed tiger seemed to understand that Ning Feng was not simple, and sky blue gas and water attribute spiritual power began to appear around his body.
The bald bird and the iron-fronted bear on the side hid far away, for fear of being affected, but the iron-fronted bear hid in the black hat and looked very aggrieved.
If he returns to his original appearance and strength, he will slap this little tiger to death in a few slaps, and who will he hear if he roars so loudly? A low-level demonic beast that has no spiritual veins!
Ning Feng's right hand holding the broken sword began to be wrapped in fire attribute spiritual power, and the thunder attribute spiritual power in his left hand began to slowly seal, coupled with the half-body martial art of the sword under his feet, it was almost equivalent to having three uses at the same time.
This is actually a reflection of his lack of deep understanding of martial arts, and he can't perfectly integrate and use his martial arts skills in battle.
The one-eyed long-tailed tiger was wrapped in ice, and its long tail swept out a series of more than a dozen ice balls, and then its huge body followed.
Ning Feng was naturally not afraid, the chaotic ancient demon scripture was running, and he felt that his whole body was surging with qi and blood, as if he had inexhaustible strength, and he couldn't wait to tear the giant tiger hand in front of him into two pieces.
He bowed and jumped, and the spirit seals formed by the thunder attribute spiritual power collided with the ice ball in front of him, and suddenly crackled, and the spiritual power flew away.
And Ning Feng and the one-eyed long-tailed tiger also crashed together in the thunderstorm and ice water that had not yet fallen around them.
Bang......
The huge crashing sound came to mind, and the countless dead leaves around him turned into powder, raising large clouds of dust, and Ning Feng's black hair was suddenly blown up by this gust of wind, and scattered in the air messily.
Ning Feng's eyes were like torches, and the last Wolong Seal of his left hand suddenly slammed into the abdomen of the one-eyed long-tailed tiger, but he didn't want to, and at this time, a sudden change occurred.
It was too late, it was too fast, and an arrow wrapped in a faint white light violently shot through the one-eyed long-tailed tiger in front of Ning Feng, and the arrow shot straight into Ning Feng's neck without abating, intending to shoot Ning Feng together.
Ning Feng wrapped his left hand around the Wolong Seal and grabbed the arrow, his body rolled in the air several times, and when he landed, he bit the arrow in his mouth, and there was a faint bloodshot at the corner of his mouth.
He turned around and stared at the white-clothed man not far away, his expression was cold, and he began to have a plan in his heart.
The man was six feet tall, handsome, dressed in white, wiping his forehead with a white scarf, a white horse under his crotch, and dozens of people behind him.
Seeing that Ning Feng was fine, the young man's expression was surprised for a moment, but then he regained his domineering expression and slowly came with a group of people.
Ning Feng couldn't see through his strength, but this arrow was probably hundreds of meters away, and it could be seen that he didn't use his spiritual power, just a random arrow.
The pedestrian soon arrived at Ning Feng's side and stood opposite Ning Feng, the young man did not dismount, but looked at Ning Feng arrogantly and contemptuously on horseback.
"Congratulations to the young master, this fourth-level demonic beast was hit by the young master's arrow, and the young master's archery technique is really invincible in the world!"
A man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks ran in front of Ning Feng and kicked the one-eyed long-tailed tiger that couldn't die anymore, and said with a flattering face.
"Boy, don't kneel down when you see my young master! Do you know who is on this horse?" The man immediately turned his head and drank Ning Feng vigorously.
Ning Feng naturally couldn't kneel, this sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man was only a six-fold spirit seal, Ning Feng didn't put him in his eyes at all, he just raised his head and stared at the handsome young man on horseback with an expressionless face.
The young man wanted to talk about life, but at this time, he suddenly saw Chen Dahu and a few people running not far away, especially when he saw Ouyang Ning, his expression seemed to be a little surprised.
"Big brothers, I'm sorry, I don't know where my little brother collided with you, I apologize to all the adults"
Chen Xiaohu trotted over and blocked Ning Feng behind him, Chen Dahu and Dong Bo also rushed over, Zhang Xiaolong gritted his teeth and followed closely, only Ouyang Ning saw that the man on horseback had a great change in expression, his eyes were a little bored, and he was a little helpless.
"Hehe, it's okay, you are all friends of Sister Ning'er, just now I just saw that this one-eyed long-tailed tiger wanted to hurt this little brother, so I took an arrow to save the little brother, you hurry up and see if there is anything wrong with him." ”
The young man suddenly turned over and dismounted, patted Ning Feng on the shoulder, pretended to be careless and took the arrow from Ning Feng's mouth, and then looked up at Ouyang Ning and smiled like a spring breeze.
"Sister Ning'er, long time no see!"
Chen Xiaohu and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and also surrounded Ning Feng to ask him if he was injured, Ning Feng's brows furrowed, gently wiped the bloodshot from the corner of his mouth, and then raised his head and smiled faintly, but did not say anything.
This young man's attitude changed too quickly, Ning Feng kept thinking about why, and when he heard what he said to Ouyang Ning for a long time, he suddenly realized that it was Ouyang Ning's acquaintance, and it seemed that he was the son of a family in the royal capital of the Imperial City.
It's just that this guy is here, I'm afraid he has another purpose, and meeting Ouyang Ning should be just an accident.
