Chapter 200: The Story of the Demon Tiger (1) (3/4)
In three days, Link hurried all the way south from the Field Wilderness, crossed the Blackwater River, crossed the kingdom of Delonga, and entered the territory of the kingdom of Leo.
Link is secretly going south this time, and the whole world knows that he doesn't plan to make trouble.
After arriving in the Leo Kingdom, his speed slowed down, and after crossing some uninhabited forests and entering the heart of the kingdom, Link hired a carriage and traveled all the way to White Rock City, the capital of the Leo Kingdom where Celine had appeared.
Unable to avoid being recognized, Link wore an extra layer of a wide snow bear skin hooded cloak on top of his ornate flame master's robes, and his wand was barely taken out unless necessary, so that he was just a magician who looked like a good man.
The Kingdom of Leo pays attention to commerce and is not short of money, so the roads in the hinterland are very well built, very flat and spacious, not worse than the King's Road in the Norton Kingdom, so the carriage is very fast and smooth.
In front of a city along the river, you can see the high spire of the bell tower in the distance, and after walking for a while, there is a stone bridge in front, the bridge deck is very narrow, but there are many people who pass, and you have to pay the bridge tax when you cross the bridge, so the speed of crossing the bridge is very slow, and you have to queue up one by one.
Link sat in the carriage and waited bored, so he took out the battle qigong method that Waynes had given him and studied it.
This so-called Douhuang Proud World Technique is an epic battle qi technique, very subtle, and it is original to Waynes, Link has not learned this magic in his previous life, so he can't find it in his system magic list.
After looking at it for a while, Link was immersed in it, and when he saw the subtlety, he couldn't help but high-five and admire: "Tsk, the understanding of the human body, the way of integrating power, are all wonderful." The founder of War Qi Science is really unconvinced! ’
Although this is mystical magic, Link is very interested in the warrior's fighting spirit, and this knowledge is also very useful to him. Lucy, Ark, Gridan, and the soldiers of the mercenary group can get the right battle qi technique, then their combat power will definitely increase a lot, and Link's power will also increase a lot accordingly.
Halfway through the view, Link had his own opinion on this exercise: "It is indeed very subtle, but the quality requirements for practitioners are still too high, not only physical fitness, but also character quality, which is difficult to promote." ”
This Douhuang is proud of the world, not to mention the requirements for innate physical fitness, it also requires the practitioner to have a bright and upright temperament, without a trace of darkness in his heart, and to be tenacious, with Link's observation of the temperament of each person in the mercenary group, there will never be more than 10 people who are suitable for practicing this exercise, Yake should be able to, although others can also practice, but the achievement will be very limited, pure and a waste of time.
"The versatility is too poor, and it is very good to improve the strength of the individual, but it is not very useful to improve the overall strength of the army. If there is a kind of exercise that anyone can practice and can practice with good results, then it will be amazing. ”
One person is ten points stronger, not as good as ten thousand people are one point stronger, and this principle is also applicable in this different world.
The idea of 'creating a common practice in the army' quietly took root in Link's mind, but he didn't know much about battle qi now, so this was only his initial idea
Link continued to study the scroll, and just as he was fascinated by it, he suddenly heard a beast roar.
The sound was like thunder, coming from the woods on the outskirts of the city across the river, and the sound sounded, startling the black and crushing a forest bird.
This majesty, this roar, Link felt a little familiar.
There was a sudden sound of discussion in the carriage that was queuing up to pay the bridge tax, but because they were a little far away from each other, Link was in the carriage again, and he couldn't hear it clearly, so he threw the coachman a silver coin and said, "Lev, go and inquire, what is the matter with that beast's roar just now?" ”
"Hey~Good Rat." Lev happily took the silver coin, and then ran off to inquire about the situation.
After ten minutes, Lev ran back and told Link what he had heard.
"My lord, they said that there was a demonic beast outside the city, a big tiger. It is four meters tall, it came more than a month ago, and at first it ate a few people, but then it disappeared, and no one could find it, but every now and then it would roar a few times in the woods. ”
"Oh?" Link was a little curious, and asked, "Why did it do this, and is there any rumor circulating in the community?" ”
"Wow, a lot of miles. Some people say that the new tiger fur coat bought by Oledo, a great merchant in the city, was made of the good fur of this monster. Some people say that this monster is a demon vanguard, and it is here to inquire about the news. Others said"
Lev said more than a dozen things at once, all of which were speculation and had no reference value, and Link couldn't make up for it.
After a while, Link's carriage paid the bridge tax and drove onto the bridge, and when he reached the middle of the bridge, there was another beast's roar in the distant woods, and this roar was very obvious with anger, and Link felt more and more familiar.
Such a powerful demonic beast is still in the shape of a tiger, which is rare on the mainland, and Link had seen one a month ago, etc., he remembered.
"This can't be the Howling Wind Tiger that escaped from the Tower of Azura, right?" Although it was a question, Link was almost sure that it was the guy.
There is no other reason, that night, the guy's behavior was very funny, and the tiger's behavior was also very funny, what do you say you are doing in the woods all day long?
As the carriage drove off the bridge, there was another roar in the woods, and this time there was a hint of pain in his voice.
"He's hurt? How is this possible? Link was a little surprised.
Level 6 Howling Wind Demon Tiger, the body is extremely strong, the combat power is amazing, not to mention, he can't beat, he can still run, run super fast, the word Howling Wind is not just to say, it is said that the speed of the Howling Wind Demon Tiger running at full speed can reach nearly 500 kilometers per hour, comparable to a super sports car, and it is a lot faster than the Wind Giant Wolf summoned by Link.
By this time, the carriage was almost entering the city, and Link heard the sound of pedestrians gloating outside the carriage.
"Listen, there must be a master to round up that demon tiger."
"Is it a master hired by the city lord? No way? I've never heard of it. ”
"What do you care about him, this kind of big guy is troublesome enough to stay in the woods, it's good to be able to drive it away, and it's better if he can kill it."
As he spoke, another wild beast roar sounded in the woods, and the sound became more and more painful.
Link was more and more surprised in his heart, the level 6 Howling Wind Demon Tiger that could fight roared in pain, and he couldn't escape, could it be a level 7 master?
Link asked himself if he couldn't do this, if he really wanted to fight, if he didn't use the prophet Shiraishi, he would have to waste a lot of effort to clean up this demon tiger, and if the other party wanted to run, he wouldn't have any way.
'Could it be that there are already so many level 7 masters on the continent that they are walking around? Link was a little puzzled, and suddenly, his heart was shocked, and he thought of a possibility.
'Is it a prisoner who escaped from the Tower of Azulla?' ’
He saw clearly that day, among the prisoners who escaped, there were a lot of level 6 powerhouses, no less than 20, and there were also 5 level 7 powerhouses, and later there was an 8-level reflection magic, except for the wonder of Waynes, there were still 4 level 7 powerhouses left behind.
The body of the demonic beast is strong, the flesh, bones, and fur are all precious spell casting materials, this upright demon tiger is not hidden, and it roars here every day, and there is a ghost without being targeted.
Thinking about it this way, Link felt that he had to go and see what was going on, the prisoners who came out of the Tower of Azula were not very good, and all of them were marginal characters who were not tolerated by the mainstream society, and they would be the backbone of the dark forces in the future, and they would still be against Link in the future.
Even if you can't beat your opponent, it's always good to find out the news early.
"Lev, I'm on the ground, stop the car." Without waiting for Lev to reply, Link opened the front window and handed over five gold coins.
The gold coin opened the way, and naturally everything could be done, Lev immediately stopped the carriage, and Linkla walked out of the car door, and he did not enter the city, but walked directly towards the woods outside the city.
"Roar~" came another roar, this time it was not so much a roar as a scream.
Link blessed himself with a cheetah swiftness, increasing speed and strength, and then blessed himself with an advanced stealth technique, hiding his footsteps, scent, magical breath, and body, and after doing all this, he sped up and ran in the direction where the sound came from.
"Roar~' This beast's roar is already a little weak, but the sound doesn't sound far away, no more than two kilometers at most.
Link ran for about three more minutes, and he finally saw the scene of the battle.
This is on the edge of a small stream in the forest, where the trees are lying down, the power of the wind elemental and the power of the dark element are crisscrossed, and in the rocky beach by the stream, a giant tiger covered in blood is lying on the ground, 'snoring' and panting.
Not far from him stood three people, two warriors with shields, and one magician wrapped in black robes and shrouded in a thick black aura.
The mage was standing behind the shield warrior for a moment's time, and a rope-like black mist was constantly flowing out of his wand, wrapping around the Howling Wind Demon Tiger on the ground, and the black gas continued to burrow into the tiger's wounds, corrupting his flesh.
The giant tiger only gasped, snorting a few times from time to time, and looked painful, but he didn't struggle, obviously exhausted.
After looking at it for a while, Link judged the L strength level of these three people.
'Two level 6 shield warriors, cultivating dark battle qi, have never seen it. A level 7 necromancer, the body of a lich, this guy appeared in the Tower of Azura, and he is now using level 7 magic! ’
There was a flash of light in the vision, Link glanced at it, it was the mission.

Well, Link didn't hesitate at this point. (To be continued.) )
