More than ten miles away from the village, there is a continuous mountain range, the mountain is not precipitous, but it is endless, named Tangshan, because the shape of the highest peak resembles a soup spoon and gets the name.

After stepping into this mountain forest, Jiang Xiaoqi realized that his previous judgment was wrong, this Tangshan was not what he thought, what he saw before was just the tip of the iceberg, far from getting a glimpse of the whole picture, compared to the mountains where the ancient tomb was located, the piece in front of him was the real mountains.

Looking back from this low mountain peak in front of you, in the distance, there are endless steep peaks, layers of mountains, even where the eyes are faintly out of reach, the steep mountains have towered into the sky and inserted into the sky.

"Big brother, are you an immortal?"

In the lush mountains, Xiao Mani, who was held by Jiang Xiaoqi, stared at him with big eyes, her little face was full of a blushing smile, and she asked crisply.

"No, big brother is just like you, all human. ”

Looking around vigilantly, Jiang Xiaoqi smiled slightly, hooked Xiao Mani's nose, and explained loudly.

"Then why did the big brother just knock that mountain away with a bang. ”

Listening to Jiang Xiaoqi's explanation, Xiao Mani tilted her head and thought about it, then opened her mouth again, and asked a little incomprehensibly.

The two little hands danced and chirped on Jiang Xiaoqi's face, and the little faces were full of adoration and amazement.

"Because your eldest brother is not a human being, he is a little ghost, if you babble again, he will eat you later. ”

As soon as Xiao Ma Ni's words fell, the old donkey on the side immediately spoke, and ran in front of Ma Ni with a mouthful of big white teeth, and the two big eyes were as wide as copper bells, and they scared her with their teeth and claws.

"Big brother is not a little ghost. ”

Maybe Xiao Mani was born with great courage, and the old donkey's appearance of opening its teeth and dancing claws to eat people couldn't scare her at all, so she saw her babbling and making a grimace at the old donkey, muttering with a small mouth.

"Now we should be on the outskirts of the mountains and forests, most of the beasts here are not sapient, so let's hunt some here. ”

Glaring at the old donkey, Jiang Xiaoqi tightened the little girl in his arms, looked around vigilantly, and spoke like this after groaning.

"It's so quiet here, there's not even a single hair, where are you going to hunt. ”

Hearing this, the old donkey opened his mouth without thinking, grinning, and howling while picking his teeth.

"If the people in the village are really encountering a tide of beasts, then there should be wild beasts on the periphery of this mountain forest, but looking at the situation in front of them, it is a little too quiet. ”

Listening to the old donkey's meaty words, Jiang Xiaoqi was a little silent, indeed, if it was really a beast tide, the mountains and forests in front of him should not be so quiet.

"Hmm? There's movement. ”

As soon as Jiang Xiaoqi's words fell, he saw the old donkey's ears move, and a touch of vigilance flashed in his eyes, and he bared his teeth.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoqi's eyes were also dark, and he hid behind the jungle on the side with Xiao Mani in his arms, and opened a gap to look into the distance.

"It's a soaphorn rhinoceros. ”

In the grass, the old donkey also squeezed his big head and came over, staring curiously at the vaguely visible huge figure in the distance, and opened his mouth with some doubts.

"Looking at the body shape of this soaphorn rhinoceros, it is estimated that he is already an adult, and his strength should be around the third grade. ”

"This kind of strength is already considered a hegemon in the outer mountains and forests, but looking at its appearance, it is obviously seriously injured and dying. ”

"Who the hell hurt this big guy like this? ”

Hiding in the grass, Jiang Xiaoqi pulled away the old donkey's head, looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, and when he saw the appearance of the huge figure, the corners of his mouth opened with some doubts, and whispered.

The strength of the adult soaphorn rhinoceros fluctuates between the third rank and the fourth grade, looking at the size of the figure in front of him, it should have just become an adult, and the scales on his body are still turning to purple, and he should not have completely matured, and his strength is estimated to be around the third grade, which is equivalent to the four full realm martial artists of human monks.

But right now, this huge guy is seriously injured and dying, and he is dying.

The most striking feature of the soaphorn rhinoceros is the big purple horn on the head, which contains the lifelong cultivation of the soaphorn rhinoceros, which is somewhat like the qu chi of a warrior, containing infinite power.

And right now, the big horn on the big guy's head has been broken, and the red blood stains are flowing down from above, and the staggering figure may fall down at any time, and the staggering pace is staggering, and it is not far from death.

On the body of the soaphorn rhinoceros, there is an extremely striking wound, which extends directly from the chin to the abdomen, deep to the bone, and was almost cut open by a knife, and it is extremely difficult to survive until now.

It's just that what makes Jiang Xiaoqi feel strange is that the scales on the adult soaphorn rhinoceros are extremely thick, and even the powerhouses of the Star Realm are difficult to break, but right now, judging from the wounds on this big guy's body, it is obvious that he has been hit hard by a blow, and he has no chance to resist at all.

"Now it's okay, we don't have to go to the trouble of hunting, there are door-to-door deliveries. ”

Seeing this, the old donkey grinned, kicked his legs violently, and jumped out of the grass, and went straight to the behemoth.

Looking at the figure of the old donkey rushing out, Jiang Xiaoqi was also helpless, so he could only dodge out and follow the footsteps of the old donkey.

"Bang"

When Jiang Xiaoqi arrived, the behemoth had already lost its breath, and in front of him, the old donkey was spinning in a stupid circle, staring at the little thing beside the soaphorn rhinoceros, a little at a loss.

Following the old donkey's gaze, Jiang Xiaoqi also noticed the petite figure, the size of a human head, the body was white, covered with tight scales, and a striking little horn on the head was shining, and it was rubbing its petite head against the figure that fell to the ground with a bang, and the small mouth whimpered and roared, making a wailing sound.

Obviously, this little guy should be the descendant of the soaphorn rhinoceros, and the fatal blow fell on it and should have been killed on the spot, but because of this little guy, the soaphorn rhinoceros came here with a dying body.

Whether it is a man or a beast, mother's love has always been great.

"I don't care if I eat this little thing. ”

On the side, the old donkey looked at the little guy with great interest, and immediately turned his head, smiled at Jiang Xiaoqi, and said cheaply.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoqi couldn't help but glance at it, this guy was full of thoughts about eating.

"Big brother, it's so pathetic. ”

In Jiang Xiaoqi's arms, Xiao Mani's big watery eyes looked at the sobbing soaphorn rhinoceros on the ground, and opened her mouth with a bitter little face, and said with some sentimental sympathy.

"Brother Donkey, the rhino donkey is also a close relative, and this little guy will be handed over to you in the future. ”

"When you grow up, you can be regarded as a helper. ”

Glancing at the sobbing soaphorn rhinoceros on the ground, Jiang Xiaoqi sighed lightly, then turned sideways and spoke to the old donkey, and then walked to the depths of the mountains and forests with Xiao Mani in his arms, leaving the old donkey with a messy face in place.

The soaphorn rhinoceros is a spirit animal with a gentle temper and does not attack humans easily, but if it is domesticated since childhood, it can become an obedient spirit animal.

The adult soaphorn rhinoceros can rival the powerhouses of the Star Realm, and if the foundation is firm, it can even reach the fifth-grade spirit beast, such a little guy with extraordinary potential, it is very potential to bring it back and cultivate it.

"Your uncle, I think you are close relatives with them. ”

The pestle was stunned in place for a long time, and the old donkey gradually came back to his senses, and immediately scolded Jiang Xiaoqi who was far away, full of meaty words, but in the end he still looked disgusted, picked up the whimpering little thing on the ground, and chased Jiang Xiaoqi.

Since they adopted the little soaphorn rhinoceros, as its mother, they naturally did not use it as food, but could only go deep into the mountains and forests to see if they could find some prey.

"It looks like there must have been a beast tide, but why can't there be a trace of a beast on this periphery?"

After marching for about half an hour, Jiang Xiaoqi had already seen more than a dozen corpses of beasts, all of which had obvious scars on their bodies, which should have been caused by biting and fighting, but unfortunately the corpses had already decomposed.

The so-called beast tide is actually a large-scale action of wild beasts, similar to migration.

Generally, the occurrence of animal tides has a specific period of time, or for some special reason.

For example, if two powerful beast kings compete for territory, and a big war occurs, some beasts in the mountains and forests that are weak or have no intelligence at all will flee from their original territory due to strong coercion, and most of them will rush to the periphery, which is the most common reason for the formation of beast tides.

The period when the beast tide occurs is the most taboo season for hunters to enter the mountains, because if you are not careful, you will be trampled into meat by thousands of wild beasts crossing the border, and those people in the village should have caught up with this season, so there will be no return.

However, at present, there is not a single beast in the periphery of this mountain forest, and even ordinary pheasants and hares cannot be seen, which is somewhat inconsistent with the migration law of the beast tide.

When things go wrong, there must be demons

"Okay, okay, if you call again, I'll chop you up and grind your teeth as jerky. ”

Behind Jiang Xiaoqi, there was a fair-skinned little guy hanging around the old donkey's neck, climbing back and forth with the old donkey's hair, and his lively appearance had been detached from that sad emotion, and he was whimpering and frolicking on the old donkey's body.

The old donkey, however, was a little impatient by the little guy, grinding his teeth angrily, and couldn't help baring his teeth, grabbing it, putting it in front of his face, pretending to be vicious, and threatening.

The old donkey's ferocious appearance this time has achieved good results, the little soaphorn rhinoceros that it grabbed in its hand, seeing the old donkey's grinning appearance, immediately became honest, looked at it innocently with a pair of big eyes, and whispered.

"Whoosh"

Just when everyone's eyes were attracted by the old donkey, suddenly, a sound of breaking the sky sounded at this moment, and then, I saw a black shadow quickly swept out of the grass on the side, as fast as lightning, and rushed straight towards Jiang Xiaoqi, two sharp claws with a whistling wind, slammed in.
