Chapter 31: The Flame Tiger Appears
It's been two hours since they entered the Red Leaf Forest, and Xia Yang and they still haven't found any trace of the Explosive Flame Tiger, but they have encountered a few demon beast attacks, fortunately they haven't encountered a large number of demon beast attacks like Xu and Wang's family, so they didn't encounter any special circumstances after the attacking demon beasts were killed.
"Young Master, have you noticed any differences between the demon beasts that have attacked us these few times?" Xia Wu said to Xia Houming with a suspicious expression.
Xia Houming said: "You have also discovered! Yes, there is indeed something wrong with the demon beasts that attacked us this time, they are more irritable than these demon beasts before, their eyes are red with a hint of black energy, and their strength has also increased to varying degrees." What is the reason why these demon beasts have changed so much? When you go back, be sure to tell our people so that they can be aware of it when they come to the Autumn Leaves Forest and try to act together as much as possible. I have a feeling that there will be a great change in the autumn leaves forest in the future! This will be a great disaster for us!"
"Why did the eldest young master say this, maybe it was because of the appearance of the Flame Burst Tiger that these demon beasts became uneasy, and there was such a change!" Xia Wu said his thoughts.
Xia Houming looked up at the slightly gray sky, sighed and said, "Maybe you're right! I don't know what the situation of the other teams is now? I guess they have also encountered a demon beast attack."
"Don't worry, young master, I think they haven't encountered a situation, if they encounter a problem that can't be solved, they will definitely send a signal for help, besides, didn't we just meet half an hour ago?"
As soon as Xia Houming wanted to say something, he heard a crisp sound in the sky, and when Xia Houming raised his eyes, he saw a red signal bomb burning in the air in the southeast.
Xia Houming's face changed and he shouted, "Not good!" and then said to Xia Wu: "You and Xia Yang and they go to the signal together, and I will go over first to see the situation." ”
"Eldest young master, please rest assured, I will definitely guarantee the safety of Xia Yang's little sons!" Xia Wu hurriedly said.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you first!" After speaking, Xiahou Ming rode his horse towards the place where the incident occurred.
Xia Yang and the others also noticed the changes in the sky, and several people were puzzled, and they didn't know what was going on, so they saw Xiahou Ming riding away.
Xia Wu came to their side and said to a few people: "Three little boys, Miss Xue'er, our people in front of us have an emergency, the eldest young master went first, and he let us go too." ”
"Okay, Master Xia, do you know what happened to them?" Xia Ye asked.
"I don't know about this, but it's definitely a very urgent matter, because they send out a red signal, which is specially told by the eldest young master, and it can only be used in case of extreme emergency!" Xia Wu explained.
"Let's not delay, let's hurry over!" Xia Ye said.
"Okay, a few of you follow me closely, let's go!" Xia Wu said immediately.
Xia Yang and his party quickly walked towards the location of the incident, but they didn't encounter demon beasts along the way, but there was still a distance from the place of the incident, and Xia Yang and they couldn't get there for a while.
Xiahou Ming galloped all the way, and a quarter of an hour later, Xiahou Ming faintly heard not only the sound of fighting in front of him, but also the faint roar of the beast, the beast roar that Xiahou Ming heard was vigorous and powerful, it should be a higher-level demon beast than the Chimu Mountain Wolf, Xia Houming suddenly thought of the shadow of the Explosive Flame Tiger in his mind.
With this idea, Xiahou Ming didn't care about the horse under him, and shouted, and a leaning toe on the back of the horse quickly flew towards the direction of the fight, as the fighting became more and more intense, Xiahou Ming knew that it was about to arrive, but he was more and more confused in his heart, if he remembered correctly, the group searching in this direction, everyone's cultivation was above the Qi Condensation Realm, plus the five people were familiar with each other, and the technique of joint attack was quite mature. A Flame Blasting Tiger is no match for the five at all, but why hasn't it been solved until now?
With doubts, Xiahou Ming's body swept forward, and before the tea was ready, Xiahou Ming vaguely heard someone's shout. Xia Houming's spirits perked up, and he came to the scene of the fight in the blink of an eye, and what caught his eye was a scene that shocked Xia Houming.
I saw a huge tiger demon beast running between the five people, with a hideous appearance, and a strong fishy breath came from the roar, and the black patterns on its body were like black flames, and occasionally a slightly black flame erupted from its mouth. Xia Hou Ming's eyes froze, this is the top demon beast Burst Flame Tiger, but this Burst Flame Tiger is obviously different from other Burst Flame Tigers, Xia Hou Ming didn't have time to think about it, because the lives of the five people in the field were already in jeopardy, and Xia Hou Ming saw that if he counted his breaths at night, these five people would die in the tiger's mouth.
"Stand Down"
Xiahou Ming let out a loud shout, and at the same time quickly pulled out the sword in his hand. The sword slammed out of its sheath, a cold light shone, and a cold aura spread to all directions. With a sweep, the aura blade forced the Flame Explosion Tiger that was about to chase the five people back, Xia Hou Ming carefully blocked the huge Flame Explosion Tiger in front of him, and Xia Hou Ming's eyes were full of solemn doubts.
And the Explosive Flame Tiger also stared at the person who had just appeared in front of him with a vigilant gaze, instinctively telling him that the person in front of him was much more dangerous than the five people just now, and the low tiger roar seemed to warn Xia Houming not to act rashly, and his lowered body seemed to be ready to attack the enemy in front of him at any time.
A look of surprise flashed in Xia Hou Ming's eyes, he didn't expect that the Flame Explosion Tiger in front of him was extremely intelligent, and it was worthy of being a top-level demon beast! But even a top-level demon beast was not placed in Xiahou Ming's eyes.
"You're all right!" Xia Houming didn't look back and asked the five people behind him.
"Young Master, we're all fine, just a little bit injured. The eldest young master should be careful, this Flame Exploding Tiger is very strange. It's very different from the Flame Blasting Tiger we've encountered before. If we hadn't discovered him in advance and been attacked by him, the five of us would have died on the spot!" said one of the guards with the highest cultivation among the five.
"Oh?!Is there a difference?, you stand down first, I want to see what is different about this Flame Blasting Tiger!" Xiahou Ming said word by word.
"Young Master, be careful!"
Although Xiahou Ming said so, he faintly felt in his heart that things were not as simple as what he saw in front of him. So he didn't make a reckless move, Xia Houming looked carefully at the Explosive Flame Tiger in front of him, and found that this Explosive Flame Tiger exuded a tragic and ferocious aura all over his body, this situation can only be like this after the demon beast is seriously injured!
Xiahou Ming observed the Explosive Flame Tiger in front of him more carefully, and found that although this demon beast revealed a murderous look in its eyes, it implied a trace of weakness, Xiahou Ming was right, this Explosive Flame Tiger had been extremely seriously injured before.
"That's not right!"
Xiahou Ming's eyes shook wildly, this is by no means the Explosive Flame Tiger, if it is the Explosive Flame Tiger, it has suffered such a serious injury, then it can exert sixty percent of its strength at most, even if the demon beast is greatly injured, it will be ferocious and make its own strength even stronger, but the facts in front of him tell Xiahou Ming that this demon beast must have at least the strength of the fifth order of the Condensation Realm at present. In this way, the tiger demon beast in front of him may be a mysterious beast before it is injured!
Xia Houming was shocked by the conclusion he had reached, and in order to confirm his thoughts, Xia Houming looked at the 'Tiger Demon Beast' in front of him again, and suddenly the name of a Tiger Mysterious Beast flashed in Xia Houming's mind.
Xiahou Ming compared the information of that mysterious beast with the tiger demon beast in front of him, and gradually Xia Houming was unbelievably sure that the so-called 'Flame Burst Tiger' in front of him was not the real Flame Explosion Tiger!
"A few of you be careful, this is not a top-level demon beast Explosive Flame Tiger, but a top-level Mysterious Beast Demon Tiger that has been seriously injured!" Xia Houming reminded the five people behind him, Xiahou Ming finally understood why with the ability of five people, he couldn't kill the Explosive Flame Tiger for so long! Now the truth is finally revealed, Xia Houming looked at the Demon Tiger in front of him, if it was a Demon Tiger in his heyday, he was not an opponent, but in the face of this extremely weak Demon Tiger, Xia Houming still had full confidence in killing it.
Xiahou Ming's eyes froze, thinking that he couldn't delay for too long, so Xiahou Ming's cold ice sword in his hand was horizontal, and he quickly rushed towards the Demon Tiger on tiptoe. The cold ice sword in Xiahou Ming's hand is a top-notch aura, made of thousand-year-old cold iron, extremely sharp, and even more cold under the urging of aura. Xiahou Ming ran the aura in his body, and the aura quickly condensed on the cold ice sword, making the cold ice sword more sharp and cold.
In the blink of an eye, Xiahou Ming was less than a foot away from the Demon Tiger. The Demon Tiger let out a muffled roar, and a fireball burning with black flames shot out of its mouth, and in an instant, the blazing heat rushed towards Xiahou Ming. The Demon Tiger knew that the enemy in front of him was even stronger than he imagined, so he condensed the Yuan Force of almost his whole body and performed the strongest blow so far, and the Demon Tiger who performed this move showed obvious weakness in his eyes.
Xiahou Ming didn't have time to observe the situation of the Demon Tiger, he felt that the power of this black flame fireball was enough to seriously injure himself, so the cold ice sword in his hand swung hard, and a stream of aura that had already condensed attacked towards the fireball, and at the same time, Xiahou Ming quickly formed a defense in front of him.
The aura collided with the black flame, and a burst of 'squeak' sound came, only to see the white aura and the black flame entangled together, canceling each other's power. Xiahou Ming didn't look at it and continued to rush towards the Demon Tiger, getting closer and closer to the cold ice sword, the cold air on the sword made the already weak Demon Tiger shiver, and endured the discomfort of his body, the Demon Tiger moved with his body, and barely dodged Xiahou Ming's blow.
Xiahou Ming saw that a move was fruitless, and then the tip of the "Immortal Guiding the Way" sword pointed directly at the left eye of the Demon Tiger, and the sword momentum was swift. Seeing that this blow could not be dodged, the Demon Tiger let out a wail and barely moved his body to the right. The tip of the sword narrowly escaped the vital point, but it also slashed a long scratch through the neck of the Demon Tiger, and the Demon Tiger screamed, strangely not a drop of blood came out of the wound, apparently because of the cold air of the Ice Sword.
Xiahou Ming's eyes were quick, and he turned around and stabbed at the Demon Tiger with a cold ice sword in his hand, and the Demon Tiger seemed to know that his life was short, and there was no trace of dodging in his eyes, just an unwilling and nostalgic gaze.
Xiahou Ming's expression was shocked, because he vaguely seemed to have seen this kind of look somewhere. Xiahou Ming suddenly remembered the look in his wife, Shen Rou, when she was brutally killed after giving birth to Xia Yang. It's strikingly similar to the dying Demon Tiger in front of you!
Xiahou Ming hurriedly withdrew the stabbed Ice Sword, and one rolled over and landed in front of the Demon Tiger. Xia Houming found that it was indeed as he expected. This demon tiger had just given birth to cubs not long ago, which is why his body was so weak. In the face of death, this demon tiger worries about the newborn cub. Xia Houming didn't know for a while whether to kill the Demon Tiger in front of him or something else.
Xia Hou Ming didn't see the look of gratitude in the eyes of the Demon Tiger at all, the Demon Tiger tried to move to the body to see Xia Hou Ming's reaction, and when he saw that Xia Hou Ming didn't seem to notice his movements, the Demon Tiger was just about to leave when he heard a faint tiger roar, and the gratitude in the Demon Tiger's eyes suddenly dissipated, replaced by a more tragic aura than just now.
Xia Houming was suddenly awakened by this breath, he thought that the Demon Tiger was going to make a final desperate fight, but Xia Hou Ming did not raise his sword to stab the Demon Tiger, but retreated backwards. Xiahou Ming didn't know why the Demon Tiger was suddenly so ferocious, and when he noticed what was happening, his heart suddenly lifted.
