Chapter 16: The White Tiger
Only in this way can you make yourself stand out, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and only if you know how to recommend yourself, can you push yourself further.
This mission is to collect ten drops of the saliva of the Dark Tiger, and the reward is one hundred and eighty sect contribution points.
Compared to other tasks, 180 contribution points is already very high, which also indicates the difficulty of this task.
The Dark Tiger is a kind of demon tiger, a rare and powerful demon beast, not to mention whether this evil animal is good or not to detect its traces, it is not a simple matter to deal with it, let alone take ten drops of its saliva.
According to the mission description, the last time the Dark Tiger trail was discovered was two months ago, when two sect disciples happened to encounter each other when they were passing by the Hengtian Mountain Range.
The Hengtian Mountain Range is the largest demon beast mountain range on the southern side of the empire, and it is also a vassal of the Holy Flame Sect, because the Holy Flame Sect is established on the southernmost side of the Hengtian Mountain Range.
To be specific, the Holy Flame Sect has held the largest artery of the Hengtian Mountain Range, and if you want to enter the Hengtian Mountain Range from the front, you must get permission from the Holy Flame Sect.
Yang Qing glanced at the bright sky, got up and jumped off a rock, turned around and walked towards the mountain behind the sect.
The outer part of the mountain range is a testing ground for outer disciples, and some of the usual tedious tasks are also completed on the outer part of the mountain range.
At the exit of the mountain range, I could meet many sect disciples who came out of the mountain range, and they were all rushing back to participate in the sect's holy flame this time.
It wasn't until the Guan Valley where the sect set up enemies and demon beasts to invade that the vision really broadened, and the first thing that came into view was the continuous mountain ranges, followed by the rough primeval trees, and as soon as he stepped into the mountain forest, he immediately gave Yang Qing a sense of gloom, and a cool instantly penetrated his whole body from the soles of his feet.
"I didn't expect that the mountain range guarded by the sect turned out to be a fierce land. ”
Yang Qing understood the moment the cold invaded his body, but even if it was a fierce place, Yang Qing didn't take it to heart, how dangerous the Heavenly Tomb was in his previous life, and he fell into the trap of thieves, was besieged by the eight god kings, and finally annihilated the other party with his own strength and came out alive.
As soon as you enter the mountain, the towering trees cover your head, and only the stars can be seen in the blazing sun.
It can only be said here that it has entered the Hengtian Mountain Range, which is not the periphery of the mountain range, and the real periphery is still some distance away from here.
The Hengtian Mountains meander for thousands of kilometers and occupy almost the entire southern side of the Empire, and it is not easy to spot the Dark Tiger.
There weren't many hints given by the mission, and it was only vaguely said that this beast was found on the outskirts of the mountain range, but it was impossible to find it.
Yang Qing walked unhurriedly in the mountains and forests, and walked for nearly an hour before officially stepping into the periphery of the mountain range.
Yang Qing's steps slowed down, looked around, picked the tallest ancient tree nearby, and stepped on the trunk on tiptoe to climb to the top of the tree.
The wind was very strong, and his long hair fluttered with the wind, Yang Qing looked in all directions one after another, and finally jumped down from the top of the tree.
According to experience, most of the dark monsters like to live in shady places, and just now I stood on the top of the tree and felt the temperature of the wind, and the wind humidity in the southwest direction was the highest.
Without hesitation, Yang Qing turned around and headed towards the valley region in the southwest.
The Hengtian Mountains have three major regions, namely dense forests, valleys, and mountains, and these three parts also run through the interior and exterior of the mountain range.
Out of the bushy dense forest area, the surrounding trees are relatively sparse, and the road under your feet is a little bumpy.
Soon, Yang Qing entered a valley, and at his feet was a small stream, and a stream flowed down.
Turning his head, a group of large fish were playing down the stream, and Yang Qing came to a conclusion in his heart: "It seems that no one has set foot in this valley for a while. ”
Low-level martial artists can't do the level of eating spiritual qi and clearing grains, so it's inevitable that they will fill their stomachs wherever they go.
Yang Qing rubbed his toes on the ground and kicked out a stone under his feet, and the fierce strength directly penetrated the belly of the fish, and then floated on the water.
Yang Qing didn't go far, he took some branches on the spot and made a fire, and after cleaning the fish, he broke a branch and put it on the fire, and a bunch of green smoke floated into the air.
Suddenly, a tiger roar echoed through half of the valley, and then a flock of frightened birds flew overhead.
Judging from the thickness of this tiger roar, the grade of this demon tiger should be psychic.
On the periphery of the mountain range, there are not many demon beasts with the strength of the psychic realm, and the powerful demon beasts have their own territory.
Monsters like this are generally lurking in their own realms, and rarely make such a big noise, and this sudden tiger roar should be an outsider intruding into its territory.
Yang Qing didn't get up and leave because of this, and he hadn't paid attention to the psychic demon beast yet.
The fish continued to be grilled, and gradually, the body of the fish was roasted to a golden brown, and the fish oil dripped from the cracks of the meat and fell on the charcoal fire with a 'stinging' sound, followed by a bunch of oil smoke.
The roar of tigers in the valley was more frequent than before, mixed with the sound of bombardment of cracking stones, and it was clear that the two sides had already started a fight.
The voice was getting louder and louder, and the distance was getting closer and closer, which couldn't help but make Yang Qing's brows furrow.
"Boom ......"
I saw a behemoth fall from the sky, a huge white tail suddenly shook off, and a big tree was directly interrupted by the waist, and then, two men chased out from the depths of the valley.
The two men each held a sword and wore the same sword suit, but a white cloud was painted on the right shoulder, and a red sword qi pierced through the clouds.
Cloud Sword Sect!
From the other party's clothing and the Qingfeng Sword in his hand, he could see the identity of the other party at a glance, but, how could someone from the Cloud Sword Sect appear in the jurisdiction of my Holy Flame Sect?
"Roaring ......"
Yang Qing didn't want to think about it, a tiger roar shook in the valley again, and Yang Qing turned his eyes to look at the behemoth.
"It turned out to be a white tiger. The moment he saw Bai Canghu, Yang Qing knew the purpose of these two Cloud Sword Sect disciples.
The White Canghu is one of the low-level tiger demon beasts, but this kind of demon beast is close to extinction, but I didn't expect that there is still one in this valley.
In this way, it makes sense, detouring from the mountain range of the Cloud Sword Sect to the mountain range of the Holy Flame Sect is also excusable for the sake of this white tiger.
The overall strength of the white tiger is not high, but being able to rank high among the tiger demon beasts mainly depends on his essence blood.
It is rumored that the white tiger is a descendant of the white tiger in the era of the gods, and the blood contains the power of the tiger god.
Despite this, the white tiger has become the target of many warriors, causing the white tiger to be on the verge of extinction.
Yang Qing was not interested in the battle between Bai Canghu and these two Cloud Sword Sect disciples, he had always regarded himself as an outsider from beginning to end, a person who purely grilled fish, seeing that Bai Canghu was being forced over by the other party, Yang Qing had no choice but to take the fish in his hand away, and was ready to change places to continue to light the fire.
But as soon as he got up, the tall disciple of the Cloud Sword Sect pointed at Yang Qing and shouted: "Where did you come from, how can you finger this white tiger, hurry up and roll for Lao Tzu." ”
