Maybe it's because these days, I've been sleeping outside, and finally slept in bed, Gai Yan hasn't slept so comfortably for a long time, and he just lay down for a while, and then fell asleep deeply.

This night, he slept until the next day, and then woke up.

Looking at the washed and mended clothes, neatly folded and placed next to his bed, Gai Yan only felt a warmth in his heart. He got dressed and walked out of the room, where the old woman had already prepared breakfast.

When he saw Gai Yan coming out, he said, "Eat, kid!"

Gai Yan nodded, sat at the table, raised his eyes to look at the house, and found that Wu Lao was not at home, so he asked while eating, "Grandma, why did Grandpa Wu go?

The old woman nodded, handed a piece of dry food to Gai Yan, and replied, "Well, this point happened to be when the villagers were going to go up the mountain to hunt, and your grandfather Wu went to inquire about the news for you." ”

As he was talking, Wu Lao returned home, and when he saw Gai Yan, he said: "I inquired for you, alas, those villagers didn't tell where the specific location of the tiger was, so they only said that they went out from the entrance of the village and walked along the mountain road, so they said...... It may be seen in the depths of Danxia Mountain. ”

Gai Yan nodded, thanked Wu Lao, he was worried about finding Chiyanhu as soon as possible, so he picked up the bowl, hurriedly ate breakfast, and was about to set off.

The old woman brought some dry food to Gai Yan, and just as Gai Yan was about to set off, Wu Lao, who was a little worried about Gai Yan, thought about it for a while, and said: "Child, wait a minute, I'll go with you! Danxia Mountain is rugged and precipitous, easy to get lost, and there are a lot of beasts and birds of prey, it's too dangerous, I am more familiar with Danxia Mountain, at least you won't get lost." ”

Gai Yan naturally didn't want Wu Lao to accompany him on the adventure, so he said: "Grandpa Wu, you are at home! This is my own business, I don't want you to take this risk with me." And yesterday, didn't you promise the villagers to come to you today to eat wild boar! I go up the mountain all year round, and I can do it myself!"

Wu Lao shook his head: "No, you wait." ”

After speaking, he took a bow and arrow, and said to his wife: "I will accompany Gai Yan to Danxia Mountain, you take care of yourself, if you are fast, you can go back tonight, and you can come back tomorrow at the latest." ”、

The old woman nodded and advised, "Go ahead! Bring extra dry food. ”

Seeing that the second elder insisted on this, Gai Yan had no choice but to obey, so Gai Yan, accompanied by Wu Lao, rushed to Danxia Mountain.

Not long after, the old and the young entered Danxia Mountain, and did not encounter too many obstacles along the way, but occasionally wild boars were infested, and they were all hunted strictly. As the two of them gradually went deeper into the mountains, Wu Lao's expression became more and more nervous. He reminded Gai Yan: "Just now, we are both still in the outermost part of Ziyun Mountain, and it will start to be dangerous if we go inside, so we must be vigilant!"

Gai Yan nodded to himself, and he had to cheer up the spirit of twelve.

As the two of them went deeper and deeper, the mountain path began to become steeper and steeper, and the occasional roar of wild beasts could be heard, which was quite terrifying.

After walking for a while, because Wu was old and his physical strength was a little unable to keep up, he panted and said, "Child, let's take a break! ”

Gai Yan naturally knew that Wu Lao was difficult to compare with his physical strength, they had already walked such a long way, and the old man would inevitably be tired, so he nodded, took out the dry food and water prepared by the old woman from his bag, handed it to Wu Lao, and took a piece of dry food himself and ate it.

After resting for a while, the two of them walked deeper again. This time, they hadn't been gone long before they noticed that the atmosphere around them began to change strangely.

A pungent smell of blood suddenly came, Gai Yan immediately became vigilant, and he said to Wu Lao: "Grandpa, you are waiting for me here, don't move, I'll go to the front to see what's wrong?"

Wu Lao knew that the deeper he went into the mountains, the more he couldn't act rashly, and besides, it was very likely that he had already reached the territory of the tiger. He immediately nodded and said, "Be careful!"

Cover tightly, lightly through the bushes, and explore forward. Suddenly, he saw many corpses lying on the ground in front of him. These corpses were all missing arms and legs, and the death was extremely tragic and numb.

He looked around and found that the corpses on the ground were all dressed in uniform clothes, and they all had a big word "beast" on their chests. He had never seen this kind of costume before, and when he looked around, although there were dead bodies here, there was nothing dangerous.

After making sure that it was safe, Gai Yan hurried back to pick up Wu Lao. When Wu Lao saw the corpse on the ground, his face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "It's the people of the 'Beast King Palace'! Judging from the death of these people, these people were not killed, but should have been attacked and bitten alive by some kind of fierce beast." ”

"The Palace of the Beastmaster"?

When Gai Yan heard this word for the first time, he was puzzled: "What is the 'Beast King Palace'?"

Wu Lao replied: "The 'Beast King Palace' is a sect famous for domesticating spirit beasts, their power is very large, and the Danxia Mountain where we are located is the sphere of influence of the 'Beast King Palace'. Okay, kid, let's hurry up, if the people of the 'Beast King Palace' find out after a while, it will cause unnecessary trouble, and it will be difficult to do. ”

Gai Yan only wanted to find Feng Chen, and he didn't want to do much, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Grandpa Wu, where are we going?"

Wu Lao looked up at the sky, pointed to the north and said, "Go from this side!"

After speaking, the two quickly left the scene and headed in the direction of Wu Lao's finger.

After walking for about a pillar of incense, I suddenly heard a tiger roar that shook the sky, which startled the surrounding woods to sway, and the forest birds to fly in shock.

Wu Lao said vigilantly: "It seems that we have reached the territory of that fierce tiger, we have to be careful!"

Gai Yan was worried about Wu Lao's safety, so he said, "Uncle Wu, don't go in with me again." You find a safe place around here and wait for me, I don't want you to be in any danger. Let me go alone, if I encounter any danger, it will be easier to run. ”

Wu Lao hesitated for a moment and said, "Then you must be careful, I will find a safe place around here to wait for you." I'll mark you on the tree and you'll find me!"

Gai Yan nodded, he glanced at Wu Lao, turned around and ran in the direction of the tiger's roar.

The tiger's roar rang out again.

As the distance got closer, the whistling sound became louder and louder, and in a short time, a strong wind suddenly rose around, the trees swayed wildly, and the grass clippings and gravel on the ground flew into the sky. I saw a tiger with wings on its back flying in the air, projecting a huge black shadow on the ground.
