Chapter 8: Who Can Accompany You on a Long Road Ahead (Part II)
Deep in the forest, a giant tiger with fiery red fur lies comfortably on the grass. It's the king of the woods, so I don't think anyone will disturb it.
However, a dagger suddenly slashed at it, bringing a blood flower with it.
"Roar!"
The fiery tiger stood up sharply and roared angrily. It was furious at this time, it didn't expect that a human being would be so bold as to dare to challenge its majesty in this deep forest.
"After strengthening it with spiritual power, the power is really much stronger. β
A young man stood on a big tree not far away, muttering to himself with some joy.
"Then make it a parting gift for the old man today!"
The boy looked at the crimson giant tiger in the roar and licked his lips.
γγγ
"Hah, phew. β
Uncle Zhao in Liang Yansheng's mouth hugged him and shuttled quickly through the mountains and forests, and at this time, even the old guard at the peak of the mixed yuan was sweating profusely and let out a rapid gasping sound
"Damn, why can't you get rid of them!"
Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, his heart sank. However, what made him feel even more palpitations was the evil laughter that greeted him.
"Guys, do you keep running?"
A man in a black robe wearing a bronze ghost mask stood not far from them, and the eerie laughter came from under his mask, making people shudder.
"Your Highness, you run, I'll hold them back. β
The old guard put down Liang Yansheng, protected him behind, and quietly looked at the ghost-faced man.
Liang Yansheng took one last look at the old guard, and then rushed to the side quickly.
He knew that it would not help him to continue to follow the old guard, but would drag him down. He can't do anything, no one can help him, he can only keep these hatreds in his heart, and then, live.
γγγ
"Roar!"
The fiery red giant tiger had another scar on its body, and along with the scar appeared there was also a splash of blood. At this time, as a beastmaster, it was furious, and the aura around it quickly gathered towards its body, and from its blood-red mouth there was actually a burst of fire.
"What?
Liang Yansheng's heart froze, and he hurriedly jumped to the side and set up the long knife in his hand.
The so-called spiritual skill is actually a method of mobilizing spiritual power, and anyone who has reached the spiritual realm can cultivate spiritual skills. And the spiritual skills are also divided into five levels, namely the holy level, the god level, the heaven level, the king level, and the human level, among which the holy level is the strongest.
Liang Yansheng's body also had blue light circulating - at this time, he was using the Luohe Ancient Scripture that the old man had taught him a year earlier.
"But what about the water fire," a smile appeared on Liang Yansheng's face, "it's really just right." β
The giant tiger opened its huge mouth at Liang Yansheng, and a fireball several feet wide rushed towards him quickly.
The blue light flickering on Liang Yansheng's body quickly converged towards the long knife in his hand.
"Ahh
He let out a sigh and swung his long knife at the fireball. The long knife collided with the fireball with a blue sheen, and the flames instantly dispersed, but the flames still consumed his body.
The crimson tiger felt that it had finally been relieved of its troubles, and was about to turn away, but a figure jumped out of the firelight, and fell quickly on top of its head, accompanied by a long knife that slashed at the top of its head.
"Don't be complacent, big guy!"
Liang Yansheng smiled happily at this time, although his clothes were already burned to the ground.
"Roar!"
With a terrible roar, the giant tiger's body fell in response, splashing dust all over the ground.
Liang Yansheng put the long knife into the scabbard and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Finally settled. β
He clapped his hands, carried the giant tiger on his back, and ran to the other side of the mountain with fish and water.
With a look of joy on his face, he even sang a mountain song. However, as he passed a cliff, his expression became sad.
Looking at the lonely grave standing there on the edge of the cliff, he silently lowered the body of the giant tiger to the ground, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times to the grave.
γγγ
"That's it, is it over?"
The boy looked at the approaching ghost-faced man, his eyes full of despair.
"Then at least choose your own way of death. β
He turned around, looked at the cliff behind him, and jumped resolutely.
γγγ
Liang Yansheng stood up, patted the dirt on his trouser leg, and jumped off the cliff, but with a smile on his face.
However, at the moment when his body was about to hit the ground, his figure suddenly disappeared.
γγγ
"Damn, can you kid not take that exit every time, there are other places to go!
An old man stood up from the ground tremblingly, clutching his aching old waist, and kept running away with his mouth in his mouth.
The boy sat cross-legged on the ground, holding his head, smiling embarrassedly, and a giant red tiger beside him lay motionless, already breathless.
"Brother Iwayu is back!"
A group of children rushed towards the boy, shouts of joy coming out of their mouths.
The boy stood up, picked up the rushing child, and spun around in the air.
"Let's see what I brought back today!"
The boy untied the backpack on his back and handed the wild fruit to the children gathered around him.
"Wow, there are so many of them today!"
The children stuffed the wild fruits into their mouths, regardless of whether they had been washed or not.
"Xiao Liang is back!"
At this moment, a group of aunts and uncles came out of their huts, gathered under the big tree in the middle of the village, and talked with the young man incessantly.
"Everyone was silent. β
The old man finally got better, looked at the corpse of the giant tiger beside the young man, twisted his head to the young man, and said:
"Are you still leaving?"
There was reluctance in his voice, and it reached everyone's ears.
All the people stopped talking, reluctant to look at Liang Yansheng who was surrounded by them.
"Xiao Liang, why are you leaving, aren't you happy here?"
An aunt finally broke the silence and asked the boy, tears in her eyes.
"No," Liang Yansheng looked at the aunt, also full of parting sadness, "It's just that I have other things to do." β
The aunt wanted to say something, but the old man under the tree waved his hand at her.
"If he has something to do, why should you force him to stay? β
The old man turned to Liang Yansheng and said, "At that time, you told me that if you could walk through this mountain alone, you would leave. β
He glanced at the giant tiger on the ground again.
"Looks like you've reached it. Even I didn't expect that you would be able to beat the Beastmaster on your own so quickly. β
"Hmm. Liang Yansheng nodded, "This is also the gift I gave to you before leaving." β
At this time, a young girl walked up to the boy from the crowd, looked at the boy with tears in her eyes, and said reproachfully, "Didn't you tell me that you wouldn't go." β
"I'm sorry, Su Qingyu," Liang Yansheng looked at the girl with self-reproach in his eyes, "but I still have something to do." β
"I don't care, even if you want to leave, take me with you!" The girl suddenly hugged Liang Yansheng's arm and put her face on his shoulder. Tears wet Liang Yansheng's clothes.
He wanted to say something to persuade the girl. But the old man in the middle of the crowd suddenly said:
"Just let her follow you, at least have a companion on the way. Don't think that my little sunny rain will support your hind legs - in the days you went out, she was also promoted to the Na Ling Realm - but don't forget that she is only twelve years old now, a year younger than you, not to mention that the old man I also handed over my lifelong skills to her. You'll have at least one companion on the road. β
"Huh?"
Liang Yansheng was taken aback when he heard the old man's words, he didn't expect that Su Qingyu, who was one year younger than him, had also arrived at the Naling Realm, and he had only been in the Naling Realm for a few months.
"Really, then you go and pack your things!" he looked at the girl happily.
"Hmm!" Su Qingyu wiped the tears on her face, smiled at Liang Yansheng, and then saluted the old man and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Zhong!"
"It's really a big girl," the old man smiled and scolded at the two, conjured a bag out of thin air, and threw it at Liang Yansheng, "You kid take it, this is my granddaughter's luggage." Also, if I hear Qingyu say that you bullied her, see if I don't beat your ass into eight petals. β
"Thank you, senior, please rest assured, I will definitely take care of her!"
Liang Yansheng also saluted the old man, and then walked to the gate of the village surrounded by the crowd, and kept saying goodbye to the villagers.
"Goodbye, everyone. I'll come to see you when I'm done with everything!"
"You must remember us, Xiao Yansheng, and Xiao Yuqing. β
The figures of boys and girls waving at the crowd gradually disappeared. Everyone was still saying goodbye and praying for the two children at the same time, but no one noticed that the old village chief in the crowd had a heavy face.
γγγ
On the edge of the cliff, the figures of a boy and a girl suddenly appeared.
"Ahh
Su Qingyu looked at the cliff beside her and was frightened.
"It's nothing, I just jumped from here. β
Liang Yansheng touched his head and smiled at Su Qingyu beside him.
"Hmm. β
Su Qingyu knew what happened back then from his mouth, so she didn't say anything more, she didn't want Liang Yansheng to think of those sad memories again.
Liang Yansheng looked at her appearance, knowing what she was thinking at this time, and suddenly felt warm in his heart. He didn't answer, just crouched down in front of the grave and muttered in a low voice.
"Uncle Zhao Chongyang, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you and my fatherβyou know, I've reached the Naling Realm now! β
Su Qingyu looked at Liang Yansheng silently, feeling a little sad for him in her heart. She thought in her heart that in the future, she must share those burdens for him and for the people she liked.
Not long after, Liang Yansheng stood up, turned to Su Qingyu behind him and said:
"The road ahead is very hard, and it's too late to regret it now!"
"Don't worry, even if the road ahead is bumpy, I will accompany you!"
She stepped forward, took Liang Yansheng's hand, looked at each other and smiled, and the figures of the two gradually disappeared on the mountain road.
