Next to a hill in the depths of the Dragon Slaying Forest, Li Xiangyuan and the spotted leopard stood opposite each other, both looking at each other vigilantly.

Although the spotted leopard was vigilant, he didn't take Li Xiangyuan in his eyes, Li Xiang's reason was that the height of the refining body was more than one meter seven, but the size could not be compared with the spotted leopard at all.

For the spotted leopard, the human on the other side is his meal. Although the spotted leopard is a low-level demon beast, its size is not comparable to Li Xiangyuan.

The spotted leopard has a four-meter-long body, pale blue eyes, black hair, and a few white patterns on it, hence its name.

The spotted leopard opened its blood basin and roared and rushed towards Li Xiangyuan, the leopard was worthy of fighting speed, and in an instant, it had arrived in front of Li Xiangyuan's eyes and bit Li Xiangyuan's neck.

Li Xiangyuan's speed was not slow, so at this moment, he went to the side at the limit speed, dodging the attack of the spotted leopard, and the spotted leopard immediately pounced again.

Although Li Xiangyuan didn't open up the meridians to cultivate Xuan Qi, nor did he learn other combat skills or anything, he instinctively dodged several attacks of the spotted leopard by relying on the coordination of his body.

And the spotted leopard failed to attack several times, but was scratched by the thorn on Li Xiangyuan's hand.

After looking at it for a while, Li Xiangyuan suddenly rushed directly towards Li Xiangyuan, and at this moment, Li Xiangyuan looked at it, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly and thought: "Sure enough, a low-level demon beast is a low-level demon beast, and it can't be compared with the double thorn pig and the colorful tiger at all, this time you will definitely be killed with one blow." ”

Li Xiangyuan said that he was slow and quickly grasped the Demon Slayer and stabbed at the heart of the spotted leopard, but this time it was different, the spotted leopard made a perfect turn in mid-air, and his front paws just slapped on Li Xiangyuan's chest, Li Xiangyuan spurted out a mouthful of blood, but his body flew out upside down.

Li Xiangyuan not only did not stab the spotted leopard, but was shot away by the spotted leopard.

Li Xiangyuan struggled to get up, blood was already flowing from the corners of his mouth, and he kept coughing, obviously hurting the lobes of his lungs. Secretly said, "I underestimated the enemy, but I didn't think that the spotted leopard still had this intelligence, so he turned in mid-air and attacked him." ”

Li Xiangyuan had already had a hard time standing up, he regretted it, he shouldn't have been strong. Although there is a demon-slaying thorn comparable to a magic weapon. But without the corresponding strength, that is, scrap iron.

And the spotted leopard looked at Li Xiangyuan, who had been injured, with a humanized smug look in his eyes, as if mocking Li Xiangyuan's stupidity. But there was no rush to pounce on it immediately.

It's not that the spotted leopard is merciful and wants to let Li Xiangyuan go. It's these beasts that don't have intelligence, and they usually hit with one hit when hunting.

Even if the prey is injured when the first blow is missed, even if the prey is injured after a while, he will not rush to attack at the last critical moment, for fear that the prey will attack and pose a threat when he is dying and struggling. This is the instinct of every bloodthirsty animal in the Cultivation Realm.

And this is the case with the current spotted leopard, so it is not in a hurry to attack, it needs to find a hit before attacking.

On the other hand, Li Xiangyuan secretly complained, if the spotted leopard rushed over now, he would do his best to still have a chance of life, but if the spotted leopard didn't attack, what would Li Xiangyuan do.

Li Xiangyuan is now difficult to move, if he takes the initiative to attack, it is estimated that he will fall to the ground and pass out before he reaches the eyes of the spotted leopard.

At this moment, Li Xiangyuan's little swelling mind was completely cracked. He understands that if his own strength is not hard, he does not have any capital to be proud of.

also knew that since he watched the battle between the two high-level demon beasts, he had obtained the treasures of the two demon beasts without much effort, which made him a little carried away, and he was even more disdainful of the low-level demon beasts. But the result was to lose his own life.

Li Xiangyuan understood, but it was too late. Because in less than a quarter of an hour, he would pass out from his injuries. Now it's just forcibly supporting it in one breath.

Just when Li Xiangyuan blamed himself, he didn't know that the blood spit out of his mouth had stained the clothes on his chest red, and there happened to be the nameless black bead there.

The moment the blood touched the black bead, it quickly disappeared, and after a while, the black bead directly drilled into Li Xiangyuan's body and disappeared.

And Li Xiangyuan didn't notice all this, he just stared at the spotted leopard tightly, hoping that the spotted leopard would attack as soon as possible, so that he could have a chance to live.

And at this moment, a stream of heat burst out of Li Xiangyuan's body, Li Xiangyuan had never felt so comfortable and so full of strength. And the injury just now improved quickly, and Li Xiangyuan looked at his body differently.

He didn't know what had happened to him. But he feels that he can probably fight even against the double thorn pig now.

The spotted leopard on the opposite side looked at Li Xiangyuan's breath and sensed the danger, so he pounced directly on Li Xiangyuan no matter what.

Li Xiangyuan didn't think much about it at this time, because the spotted leopard had already rushed over.

But at this time, in Li Xiangyuan's eyes, the speed of the spotted leopard was so slow, Li Xiangyuan aimed at the heart of the spotted leopard and stabbed it directly, but this time the spotted leopard had not touched Li Xiangyuan, but it was a life.

Li Xiangyuan's Demon Slayer pierced the heart of the spotted leopard with unmistakable accuracy. Li Xiangyuan looked at the spotted leopard that fell in front of him, and his eyes were full of shock.

Although the body has weakened again, at least it is much better. He didn't know why he suddenly had great strength, and he didn't know why his injuries were all healed for no reason.

It can be said that it is already confused. But if you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out, Li Xiangyuan has always been an open-minded person, and he doesn't care about what he can't figure out, and he will know it in the future.

But after all, this was the first battle in Li Xiangyuan's life, and although it was not a battle with humans, it was no worse than fighting with humans. Or even more sinister. But Li Xiangyuan also knows many of his own shortcomings, including his temperament, combat skills, and so on.

"The most important thing now is to go to that cave first to see if there is any clue about my father. Li Xiangyuan thought to himself.

However, Li Xiangyuan didn't have much hope, according to his father's strength, although he was not afraid of the spotted leopard, it was impossible for the spotted leopard to let his father walk over so directly.

But now that the spotted leopard is safe and sound, it is unlikely that there is a clue to his father in this hole.

But Li Xiangyuan also understood that they had all arrived here, and the spotted leopard inside had also died, so there should be no danger. If you don't go in and have a look, you will definitely not be reconciled. So Li Xiangyuan took a step and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

As soon as he entered, Li Xiangyuan knew that the entrance to this cave was not too deep. Since the entrance to the cave is not deep, where does the sound of running water come from?

When I walked into the hole, I realized that the hole was not parallel, but sloped downward. Li Xiangyuan remembered that it was already dark inside after walking for about a quarter of an hour, Li Xiangyuan lit the prepared torch with a flint, and slowly walked forward with the torch, but it was over in less than half an hour.

There is already a wall ahead. But you can also see the wall vaguely by the light of the fire, and the wall is covered with moisture and moss. Li Xiangyuan is not the kind of person who doesn't know anything.

He concluded that there must be a river or something behind the wall. Because the sound of running water comes from behind this wall. Li Xiang stabbed hard with the Demon Slayer Thorn, but although the Demon Slayer Thorn was stuck for a few points, he didn't react otherwise.

He couldn't dig a hole with the Demon Slayer Thorn, could he dig it or not, if there was really an underground river or something on the other side, then he wouldn't have to get out alive.

Li Xiangyuan gave up the exploration, and Li Xiangyuan didn't know who was okay and dug a hole here. But Li Xiangyuan didn't want to care, what did people want to dig him for, so he didn't care, so he was about to go back, but when he just turned around, under the care of the firelight, Li Xiangyuan saw a protruding stone on the side wall.

If it's an ordinary person, then you definitely don't care. But Li Xiangyuan has read some formation books, although he hasn't studied much, but he at least knows some switches or something.

Li Xiangyuan thought about it for a while, but still pressed the stone down. The stone was pressed down, but nothing unusual except the grinding of the stone.

After waiting for a while, there was still no response, and when Li Xiang thought it was broken, there was a sudden tremor, and with a bang, a hole appeared in the moss-covered wall.

This time, however, the sound of running water was even more obvious. Li Xiangyuan had already determined that there must be a hole in this dark hole. I walked cautiously along the opening with a torch, but there was a long corridor in front of me, and I didn't know where it led.

There may be danger ahead. But cowering is not Li Xiangyuan's character. Anyway, when you get here, you might as well go in and have a look. There may or may not be a windfall.

So Li Xiangyuan walked down the corridor. After a while, the vision in front of us began to widen. And inside is a large cave. Several candlesticks illuminated the entire cavern, and in the middle of a bed sat a man cross-legged with a layer of white gas around him.

Although Li Xiangyuan didn't know who it was and whether it was dangerous, he threw away the torch, took out the demon slayer thorn, held it tightly in his hand and shouted: "Senior, junior take the liberty to disturb, please forgive me." ”

Li Xiangyuan asked twice, but the person didn't react at all. Li Xiangyuan boldly approached the man and came to the back of the man, but found that the back was a little familiar.

He whispered again: "Senior"

But there was still no response. But the familiar feeling grew stronger. He didn't know why he had a familiar feeling for a man in the cave, but under this feeling, his body naturally walked towards the front of the man.

And the moment he walked up to the man and looked up at the man's face, Li Xiangyuan opened his mouth in shock and shouted, "Father!" (end of this chapter)
