Chapter 38: The Purple Jade Lion
In the mountains and forests.
Zhao Yuan raised his hand and shot a second-grade top-grade demon beast gray vulture, these gray vultures lived on the cliff and spread their wings dozens of meters wide.
In the ten days since returning to Qingshui City, Zhao Yuan has lived a life of going out early and returning late, this place has been far away from Qingshui City, in the dark forest, monsters can be seen everywhere, but they are inaccessible.
Manggu Mountain, the largest mountain range in the north of Nanjun, stretches for tens of thousands of miles, spanning Yuezhou, Cangzhou, and extending to the Qin State.
Zhao Yuan has now come to the periphery of Manggu Mountain, the mountains here are only more than 1,000 meters high, and most of the demon beasts are second-grade high-level.
In ten days, he had already cultivated to the late stage of martial arts, and the further he went, the slower his cultivation improved.
"The three-grade archery method is much more difficult, and in the past ten days, I have only cultivated to Xiaocheng. ”
Zhao Yuan took the Gray Vulture's Inner Pill, which contained a large amount of essence essence, and the Mind Movement Method could be absorbed and used for cultivation.
However, it also has a lot of impurities, and it can barely assist in cultivation, which is much better than nothing.
Zhao Yuan rested for a while, and then refined this inner pill, which was no more than the size of a peanut, and let its essence be transformed into his own cultivation.
There are very few second-grade demon beasts with inner pills, only a few demon beasts can condense out, and demon beasts above the third grade will have demon pills that are as round as jade.
Suddenly, there was a cacophony of sounds.
Zhao Yuan stood up from the ground and looked into the distance, it turned out to be a purple jade lion chasing and killing five glazed jade foxes.
The purple jade lion is a third-grade primary demon beast, and those fox demons with glass-like eyes are second-grade top-level demon beasts.
Only one unlucky fox fell into the mouth of the purple jade lion.
"Heart-chasing soul-snatching arrows. ”
At the moment when the purple jade lion stopped, Zhao Yuan shot an arrow.
The third-grade primary demon beasts have crossed a big realm, and Zhao Yuan only has a chance to defeat them by sneaking up and injuring them.
"Roar. ”
Hit by an arrow in the waist, the pain made the purple jade lion very angry, it put down the jade fox in its mouth, and looked up at the person who sneaked up.
The purple jade lion kicked on all fours on the ground, leaving an afterimage in the forest, and at a distance of hundreds of meters, it pounced in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Yuan stood in place and shot another arrow, and at the moment when the Ziyang Lion waved his claws and opened his mouth to approach, he shrank and jumped onto the big tree, avoiding its attack.
Zhao Yuan bent his bow again, and the Heart-Chasing Soul Snatcher Arrow shot at its abdomen.
Three arrows made of fine iron stuck in the body of the purple jade lion, causing the blood from its body to flow continuously.
However, this does not make it ineffective.
"Purple pupils. Zhao Yuan looked at its eyes, its body shook a little, and it almost fell.
The purple jade lion jumped up, it swung out a claw, and its powerful energy, even if it was a few meters away, it hurt Zhao Yuan's skin.
"This purple jade lion actually comprehends two innate skills, and also has the purple pupil of spiritual power attack. ”
Zhao Yuan was startled in his heart, his footsteps moved, and he performed a light cloud step, crossed ten meters to another tree, and narrowly escaped from under that claw.
"Phantom Arrow. ”
Bleeding would make the demon beast's combat power weaken rapidly, and Zhao Yuan would not have time to shoot the Heart-Chasing Soul Snatcher Arrow in the face of the furious lion demon.
Finally, after Zhao Yuan shot the seventh arrow, the purple jade lion turned around and fled.
"Where to run?" Zhao Yuannian took out the Qinglong Knife as soon as he moved, and as soon as he jumped down, he fought with the purple jade lion.
Shura Battle Soul Technique, Zhao Yuan has cultivated it to the consummation of Xiaocheng, and he can already perform the three-style stunt.
Zhao Yuan only needs to continue to use his martial arts, and constantly comprehend, and his martial arts can continue to break through, if he lets others know, he has to be dissected and studied.
The injuries on its body caused the purple jade lion to lose most of its combat strength, and both legs were injured, and its movements were much slower.
Zhao Yuan could already compete with it, and suddenly, he stabbed out, his body slid past the side of the purple jade lion, his foot stepped on the ground, and he turned around and slashed out again.
"Thrilling stabs. "Sad. ”
The knife technique is as fast as its name, Zhao Yuan's stab is as fast as a shock, so that the purple jade lion can not react to the tail and is seriously injured, and before it can turn around, the blood light in the forest suddenly appears.
The purple jade lion looked at the blood moon and was shocked, and before it could jump up and dodge, the knife had already fallen on its waist, and suddenly, blood flowed all over the ground, and it closed its eyes and fell down.
Zhao Yuan got a demon pill like an egg yolk, and he collected some precious things.
"Roar. "In the depths of the forest, an angry roar came, and another purple jade lion came.
Zhao Yuan came to the tree, just glanced at it, he immediately ran away, the purple jade lion was obviously much bigger than the one on the ground.
To be able to shoot a third-grade primary demon beast, it is still because the first strike is strong, and the sneak attack can be successful.
If he encounters a third-grade intermediate demon beast and a huge group of demon beasts, he can only run away and cross a big realm, which is not so easy to kill.
The demon beast had a very strong sense of smell, and it could smell the faint smell of blood in the air from miles away, and it must have been the blood of the dead purple jade lion on the ground that attracted its companions.
Facing the furious purple jade lion, Zhao Yuan's light cloud steps did not dare to stop, and kept running in the direction of Qingshui City.
However, his body was stained with the breath of a purple jade lion, but in a moment, the purple jade lion in the middle of the third rank gave up his grief, just glanced at the demon pill that had disappeared, and went to hunt down the murderer.
"Oops. Zhao Yuan turned his head and saw a purple figure disappear in a flash on the hillside in the distance, his face was not good, and the purple jade lion chased after him.
Zhao Yuan's light cloud step had already cultivated to Dacheng, and he was more than ten meters away in one step, but this speed was not even half of that of the purple jade lion, how could he escape.
"You can only take a risk. Zhao Yuan thought of the third-grade high-grade demon beast Evil Cloud Tiger that he had encountered in the canyon a few days ago, and hurriedly ran towards its cave.
In the forest, the two figures were galloping, causing many demon beasts to turn their heads to look.
There was curiosity in their eyes, the two-legged one was really fast, but he obviously couldn't outrun the four-legged purple jade lion.
Zhao Yuan turned around with an arrow, but it was useless, the purple jade lion's body flashed and dodged, and he also took the opportunity to jump and came within a hundred meters.
For a third-grade mid-level demon beast with skills, this distance is already very dangerous.
Zhao Yuan had already seen the killing intent in its eyes, and he had no choice but to continue to escape.
The purple jade lion rushed forward, and it wanted to tear the human apart and avenge its companion.
It naturally saw Zhao Yuan's strength, and also clearly smelled the scent of his companion.
Zhao Yuan put away his bow and arrows, took out the Qinglong Knife, and a dense forest appeared in front of him, and he hurriedly drilled into it.
The purple jade lion was as big as a buffalo, its legs were strong and powerful, and in the face of the dodging man, it frantically swung its claws, trying to smash him with one claw.
The surrounding trees have grown for hundreds of years and thousands of years, and those trunks can only be held by several people, at this time, under the violent claws of the purple jade lion, these big trees that block its vision are destroyed one by one.
Zhao Yuan's light cloud step out was more than ten meters away, and wherever he passed, the big horse would fall down.
However, the distance between Zhao Yuan and the purple jade lion did not widen, at most thirty meters, the huge figure would approach him again because the forest area was a little more open.
Thirty meters away, it's really not safe at all.
Although Zhao Yuan was desperately dodging, he still couldn't get rid of the purple jade lion's attack, and its claws, just like the martial arts of a martial artist, could scratch him in the air.
In a short time, Zhao Yuan was left with a lot of scars on his back and arms, all of which were injured by the qi brought by the claws of the purple jade lion.
Getting closer and closer to the territory of the Evil Cloud Tiger, a cliff sixty or seventy meters high had already appeared in front of him, and the third-grade high-grade demon beast Evil Cloud Tiger was in the cave on the cliff.
The light cloud step has been exerted by Zhao Yuan to the extreme, his footsteps have not stopped for a moment, and as soon as his body moves, he is more than ten meters away.
The madness of the purple jade lion finally attracted the attention of the evil cloud tiger, and it stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the man and beast chasing and fleeing in the distance, it jumped down the hill with one leap.
Tens of meters high, it jumped down in just two or three vertical jumps.
The Evil Cloud Tiger's face has purple-red cloud-like fur, which makes it look even more terrifying.
"Whew!"
Zhao Yuan, who was running away at the speed of life and death, heard the warning of the evil cloud tiger, and his heart was overjoyed, the savior finally came.
One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, in this forest, the third-grade demon beasts are lord-level existences, and those first-grade and second-grade demon beasts are their food.
The purple jade lion rashly broke in, which made the evil cloud dragon very angry, but this was not the reason why Zhao Yuan was able to survive.
"Roar. ”
Zhao Yuan could feel the murderous intent behind him, and the purple jade lion had lost its patience, and it roared.
Zhao Yuan looked at the stone crevice that appeared on the cliff in front of him, and he hid in the stone crevice on the side of his body, and the entrance of this stone crevice was one meter wide and dozens of meters deep.
The purple jade lion slammed into the crack in the stone, and for a while, the earth and stone cracked, and the gravel flew.
Zhao Yuan dodged deep inside, so as not to be given seconds by the claws waved away by the purple jade lion.
The Evil Cloud Tiger came step by step, its eyes fixed on the purple jade lion, for this dangerous intruder, there was only one result, battle.
The purple jade lion was in a state of rage, and in the face of the evil cloud tiger that was stronger than itself, it did not choose to run away, and the big battle was about to break out.
Zhao Yuan heard the fight outside, and his heart finally let go, that purple jade lion would not be the opponent of the evil cloud tiger.
Here, Zhao Yuan had already been here once, and when he saw the evil cloud tiger appear, he hid in the stone crevice on this mountain cliff.
On this cliff, there are not many stone crevices, and there are many caves.
Zhao Yuan's qi and blood were not strong, and the Evil Cloud Tiger did not treat him as a threat, and he left smoothly last time.
The battle lasted for several minutes and did not end, Zhao Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground, using his mental method to repair the wounds on his body.
"Hey, there's so much aura here. ”
Zhao Yuan quickly opened his eyes again, he turned his head to look at the narrower and narrower stone crack inside, hesitated for a moment and went into it.
