Chapter 216: Purple Flame Tiger
The group walked along the canyon to the Aristi capital, passing by the village from which they had come.
The village had long since returned to normal, with men, women and children working and resting in their respective places, and urchins running on the muddy paths.
Xiang Ling didn't know that what he had seen was the illusory realm laid by Gu Yu Xinlong, and he was a little surprised to see the village in front of him, while Zhou Su and Du Kang saw the gray-clothed man walking towards them from a distance.
Several people greeted each other for a while, and the gray-clothed man saw that they came out of Wulongtan intact, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, and he saw a few people in rags and seemed to be a little tired, so he warmly invited them to his home to rest.
Several people did not shirk and generously followed the man in gray back home.
The gray-clothed man's home also belongs to an ordinary family in the village, although it is not a four-walled family, but it is only enough to maintain the basic necessities of life.
In the home of the gray man, Xiang Ling and they washed again, Xiang Ling, with the help of the gray man's wife, Aunt Zhang, re-coiled her hair in a bun, Aunt Zhang saw that Xiang Ling's clothes were stained with mud, so she was very hospitable to find a piece of clothing that her daughter was wearing and put it on for her.
Xiang Ling saw the furnishings in the gray-clothed house and knew that this was a poor man's home, and when he saw the simple but neat clothes in Aunt Zhang's hand, he knew that this should be one of the few new clothes, so he refused again and again.
Aunt Zhang, however, was very enthusiastic to stuff the clothes into Xiang Ling's arms, saying that for so many years, it was rare to have guests at home, and her daughter had gone far away, so she didn't know when she would come back to wear this dress, so she put the clothes on Xiang Ling's body.
Xiang Ling was disrespectful, and he could only reluctantly put it on, and Xiang Ling, who had changed into new clothes, had no birthmark on his face, and the whole person looked capable and refreshing.
After chattering in the gray-clothed house for a while, tidying up their clothes, and drinking a bowl of porridge boiled by Aunt Zhang, a few people reluctantly left the village.
When he was about to go out, Qing Ling took out a gold ingot from his arms and secretly put it on the kang head in the gray-clothed man's house.
Soon after a few people walked out of the village, they came to the spirit beast dense forest they had entered.
Before entering the dense forest, Zhou Su and Qingling changed their appearances respectively, and then worked together to change Du Kang's face again.
Looking at the three strange people, Xiang Ling suddenly thought of something.
"Didn't you say that a change of face doesn't last long? And we can't use our cultivation ability during this period, so why don't we change it after we get out of the spirit beast forest? In this way, the duration can be longer, and in the dense forest, you can also use the cultivation ability. ”
"Ling'er, you don't know." This time, it was not Zhou Su who answered, but Qing Ling, "The last time we left the Aris Imperial Capital, our appearance automatically entered the phantom mirror of the Phantom Spirit Hall, and as soon as we entered the spirit beast forest, it was equivalent to the range of the Aris Imperial Capital, as soon as we entered, the phantom mirror would detect our existence, and there would be many people waiting for us outside the dense forest at that time." ”
"Phantom mirror? What's that? Xiang Ling scratched his scalp.
"The Phantom Mirror is the spiritual weapon of the Phantom Spirit Hall to supervise the Aris Imperial Capital, and the faces of cultivators who violate the rules will automatically appear there." Zhou Su explained, "It's like a computer system, and people who enter the system will be summoned by the Phantom Hall. ”
"This technology is much more advanced than ours." Xiang Ling sighed.
Zhou Su smiled slightly, noncommittal.
After thinking about it, Zhou Su lowered his head and woke up Liu Jing, the fire fox who had been sleeping, from his arms, and told her that they needed her to get out of the spirit beast forest.
Liu Jing slept for a long time, not knowing what had happened before, and when he woke up, he saw a few people appear in the spirit beast jungle again, and he didn't ask much, but after taking a deep look at Du Kang, he explained in Zhou Su's ear for a long time.
Zhou Su's brows flickered, and while listening to Liu Jing's story, he seemed to be pulling something on his hand.
After a long time, Liu Jing finally finished her statement, and she immediately fell back into a deep sleep after she finished speaking, and she didn't have time to say a few more words to everyone.
Xiang Ling was puzzled by Liu Jing's drowsiness and asked Zhou Su what the reason was.
Zhou Su's expression was very solemn. It is said that Liu Jing has been away from the spirit beast forest for too long, and his cultivation vitality cannot be further filled, so he will be particularly tired.
Xiang Ling was taken aback and asked Zhou Su for a solution, but Zhou Su spread his hands, either someone would send her vitality to her, or send her back to the spirit beast jungle as soon as possible, and let her go to find a plant full of vitality by herself. Otherwise, she may remain asleep.
Zhou Su's words made Xiang Ling's mood drop suddenly, and her gaze fell on Zhou Su's hand.
On the palm of his hand, the smaller Liu Jing was still sleeping deeply, if it weren't for the subtle slight tremor of her body, Xiang Ling would have doubted that Liu Jing in front of him would never wake up again.
Seeing Xiang Ling's depressed mood, Zhou Su slowed down and put Liu Jing back into his arms, "What we can do now is to hurry up and go to the Aris Imperial Capital, find our friends, and go back to our village." ”
Looking at Zhou Su's determined face, Xiang Ling tried his best to sweep away the gloomy aura in his heart, shook his spirit, and looked up at the deep dense forest in front of him.
Several people were in a bad mood, but the footsteps had to continue to move forward, Zhou Su explained to several people before entering the dense forest, Liu Jing said that there is no absolutely safe road in the dense forest, the safest is also the most dangerous road, that is, the strongest spirit beast in the spirit beast dense forest---- where the Ziyan Crazy Tiger is entrenched.
Because the cultivation ability of the Purple Flame Crazy Tiger is too strong, the other spirit beasts in the dense forest will not approach, that is to say, there will be no other spirit beasts other than it where it is entrenched.
Although he avoided the other spirit beasts, that path also had the greatest danger, because the Purple Flame Tiger could appear at any time.
Although Liu Jing said that the Ziyan Crazy Tiger is uncertain, and the chance of encountering it is not great, but there is a case for everything, so when entering the dense forest, everyone is in good spirits.
Qing Ling handed over his spirit weapon bag to Xiang Ling, and told him how to use a few spirit weapons in case of emergency, and then several people surrounded Xiang Ling in the middle, and cautiously entered the dense forest from the road that Liu Jing said.
Xiang Ling was quite moved by the actions of several people who automatically consciously occupied three directions to protect themselves, but he was also at ease, after all, the power of his own mind was still not well mastered, and blindly being reckless would only bring trouble to others.
The dense forest is very large, and several people walk very slowly, so, after a long time, it seems that they have not reached the center of the dense forest.
Along the way, although they had not encountered spirit beasts, the fear in the hearts of several people was getting thicker and thicker.
There was not a sound in the forest, not even the wind, and the tall trees blocked the sky, making the sunlight sparse throughout the forest.
The further you go inside, the colder the air inside becomes, and several people tighten their clothes and lift their spirits again.
"That Purple Flame Tiger, will it come out in the end?" Xiang Ling had been walking for a long time, and his body was already sweaty, slimy, and uncomfortable.
The spirits of several people were highly tense, and no one spoke, but their eyes were looking for the depths of the dense forest.
"If you want to come out, come out, the feeling of waiting like this is really uncomfortable1" Xiang Ling wiped the fine sweat that had oozed from his face, nagging.
"You pause for a moment and stop talking." Zhou Su's heart was also very nervous, and when he heard Xiang Ling chattering all the time, he couldn't help but stop it.
"Whew----------"
Before Zhou Su's words fell, he was unprepared, and a deafening sound sounded from the southeast.
"It's coming---- it's coming!" When Xiang Ling heard this voice, he chuckled in his heart and exclaimed.
"Everyone, prepare!" Zhou Su and Qingling Du Kang, hearing this voice, the originally tense nerves tightened again, and several people subconsciously took a few steps back, narrowing the round lineup.
"Whoa--- whoa---- whoop---- whoow"
The voice was louder than the other, and not far away, there was a rustling sound.
"Ahead, right ahead!" Zhou Su listened carefully to the direction where the voice came from, and pointed to the east not far away.
Du Kang and Qing Ling looked in the direction that Zhou Su was pointing, and sure enough, they saw that in that direction, the trees were shaking violently.
"What to do? What to do? I'm really afraid of something! Xiang Ling looked nervously at the swaying body of the tree.
"In case we really run into that Purple Flame Tiger, we'll stay and deal with it, you go first!" Du Kang looked nervous at the impending danger as he turned his head to Xiang Lingdao.
"Am I some kind of ruthless and unrighteous person who flies separately when disaster strikes?" Xiang Ling seemed a little annoyed by Du Kang's proposal.
"That's not what I meant!" Du Kang didn't know where his words were wrong, and looking at Xiang Ling's blaming eyes, he was a little confused.
"Don't speak!"
Du Kang still wanted to explain, but he heard Zhou Su raise his hand over there to indicate that he was silent.
Du Kang swallowed the words he was about to say, and resumed his expression of waiting.
"Strange, why does the voice seem to be quiet?" Zhou Su's puzzled gaze looked at the trees that were originally shaking violently.
Xiang Ling's gaze followed Zhou Su and looked over, and sure enough, he found a strange phenomenon.
The trees that were swaying slowly stopped shaking their bodies, and the original tight "whoosh" sound suddenly disappeared.
After the front was completely silent, Zhou Su walked up boldly, and several people followed one after another.
Behind the dense grass in front of us, a huge mark appeared.
It was a trail of being dragged, a trail of a huge animal being dragged.
The trace, which stretched all the way forward, suddenly disappeared when it reached a distance of more than ten meters.
