"Uh...... All right. Ruitian didn't care anymore, and Nian'an didn't bother either, and then, with Ruitian's prompt, he began to sweep westward.

Two days later, looking from afar, on the boulder of the hill, a monster beast resembling a tiger was devouring the corpse of a black bear.

The Saber-toothed Tiger, a second-order lower-level demon beast, has a keen sense of smell and a ferocious temperament, and its sword-like front teeth can easily bite rocks.

Nian An was still quietly observing from a distance, and he heard an angry roar, only to see the saber-toothed tiger looking towards him, with extreme dissatisfaction in his eyes, and gradually threw the corpse under his feet aside and turned around.

Oh no, it found me! Nian An'an was startled, and subconsciously got up and took two steps back. Immediately after, with two bangs, the saber-toothed tiger jumped from the boulder to Nian An's body, and the rich smell of blood it carried suddenly dispersed.

The matter has come to this, the sneak attack is hopeless, Nian An took a deep breath, summoned the Horcrux White Night, and once again vigilantly moved back two steps, and asked anxiously in his mind: "Xiaotian, what should I do now!"

"Don't ask me, although it's a little more difficult than expected, but this is a test for you, and I won't do it. Ruitian replied lazily.

Hearing that, Nian An knew that he was too dependent on Ruitian, and he had to learn to face it alone, calm down the tension of the first encounter with the enemy, and constantly imagined various ways to control the enemy in his mind.

However, the saber-toothed tiger would not give Nian An time to think, and at this moment, its front paws and hind legs kicked suddenly, and it pounced forward in an instant. Seeing this, Nian An was not in a hurry, saw the landing point of the saber-toothed tiger, calmly stepped back slightly, and stabbed the saber-toothed tiger door with his backhand sword.

Like a collision between metals, the saber-toothed tiger turned its head and met the white night with its two sharp front teeth, and the two met, splashing out subtle sparks, and then a huge shock force was transmitted from the wrist to the body. Nian'an's arm shook, and he couldn't take two steps back again, taking advantage of the fact that he had just gained a firm foothold, finding the right opportunity, and jumping up. Grabbing the hilt of the sword with both hands, the aura around the body poured in, and suddenly the sword body ignited with rolling black flames, and then Nian An shouted, and Bai Ye slashed at the head of the saber-toothed tiger.

Squeak –

The piercing sound of friction echoed through the forest, and this gesture did not succeed, only to see the saber-toothed tiger quickly raise its claws sideways, slap towards the white night, and then use the force to turn diagonally, and can avoid this fatal blow. It's a pity that the saber-toothed tiger didn't expect that the black flame of the white night sword body was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and with a slight touch, it was attached to his tiger claws.

For a moment, the smell of burnt gradually rose, and the hair exploded, revealing bright red flesh. Shook the tiger's claw, extinguishing it, but fortunately, the black flame at the tip of the claw was covered by rich demonic power, and did not continue to expand. With a painful roar, the saber-toothed tiger seemed to be enraged, its eyes gradually turned red, its fur exploded, and its saber-toothed teeth slowly grew larger and sharper.

"Hey, this stupid tiger has gained a trace of bloodline inheritance, hehe, interesting!" Rui Tian wagged his tail with interest and reminded softly, "Boy, you have to be careful next." ”

Before Ruitian's words fell, Nian An wanted to take advantage of the momentum to attack the saber-toothed tiger, but who knew that he did not retreat but advanced, and pounced on him again. I felt that an afterimage flashed in front of me, and the speed of the saber-toothed tiger was more than twice as fast, and Nian An had no time to dodge, so he could only use the white night to block this oncoming claw.

Boom, the fallen leaves and dust rose all over the sky, and Nian An was knocked into the big tree behind him, his body fell, and the tree collapsed. Nian An's arms were shocked like an electric shock, he couldn't stop shaking, his chest was painful, and he almost spurted out a few mouthfuls of blood, but the deep cracks in his hands had already been torn out, and they couldn't stop flowing red.

Ahem, why did this tiger demon suddenly become so strong Nian An just struggled to prop up his body, and before he could catch his breath, the tiger shadow flashed in front of him again. With a sudden, blood splattered, and his arm was scratched by sharp claws with a few deep scars, and then, like a kite with a broken string, was once again knocked out.

The saber-toothed tiger did not give up, kicked the ground reflexively, and rushed straight towards Nian'an in mid-air, as if he was venting the anger in his heart, and did not intend to relieve Nian'an's life with one claw. I saw the tiger shadow in the forest flickering, constantly hitting back and forth beside him, even if Nian An had tried his best to dodge, but it had no effect at all. Over time, Nian'an's consciousness was a little blurred, the white mist around him became thicker and thicker, and the blood gushed out of his mouth, as if scattered into red mist flowers in mid-air.

"Alas, forget it, after all, the first time I met a semi-awakened saber-toothed tiger, it's hard for this kid. Just as Ruitian was about to stop it, Nian An suddenly laughed inexplicably.

The battle intent in his heart surged, I don't know why, the pain around his body was alleviated a lot in an instant, and the saber-toothed tiger rushed again, Nian An didn't dodge or dodge, and raised his hand to block the tiger tail that was pumping towards him. Click, the arm cracked, but Nian'an didn't care, held back the pain, and slashed at the saber-toothed tiger's back with a sword.

The sword fell to the bone, the saber-toothed tiger let out a deafening roar, and the hind legs kicked Nian An's abdomen hard, staggering and falling three feet away, and Nian An was also kicked a boulder.

Both parties gasped, although they were both covered in blood, but they did not have the slightest intention of fleeing, and looked at each other with the same vigilance. The demonic power and the aura continued to collide, and at this time, the atmosphere in the forest seemed extremely heavy, and at this stalemate, suddenly a dead leaf slowly fell from the top of the saber-toothed tiger's head, gradually covering his eyes.

The opportunity was fleeting, Nian An'an moved, and rushed forward in an instant with the white night in his hand, as if a black light flickered, and when the dead leaves crossed the eyes of the saber-toothed tiger, the sword peak had already come to the front. The demonic power around his body suddenly burst out, and he only heard a heaven-shattering tiger roar, which directly hit Nian Anxin. There was a slight pause under his feet, and at this moment of fear, the saber-toothed tiger suddenly opened the sword body with one claw, and the tiger's mouth opened widely, revealing two complete Sensen saber teeth, and he was about to bite Nian An's neck.

A faint golden light had already lit up around Nian An'an's body, but who knew that the front and rear claws of the saber-toothed tiger had just exerted force, and he was about to pounce, when the wound that had just been burned by the black flame suddenly came out with a piercing pain that pierced his heart. As soon as his legs and claws were weak, he stumbled and rolled to Nian An'an's side, drooping his right paw, and kept shaking the huge tiger body.

With a roar, Nian An was shocked into a cold sweat, came back to his senses, and while the saber-toothed tiger had not yet gotten up again, he hurriedly stabbed his sword and inserted it firmly into his throat. Poof! Sticky blood gushed out along the blade of the sword, like a rain in the sky, a convulsion, the saber-toothed tiger struggled desperately on all fours, the roar faded away, and finally slowly fell to the ground unwillingly.

Seeing this, putting away the white night, Nian An finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the ground with a slump of butts, his whole body aching like a knife, and he couldn't help but recall the scene of Shicai's blood basin grazing beside him.

"Stinky boy, what are you still in a daze, this stupid tiger has stimulated the power of the bloodline, and the essence of his body has melted into the flesh and blood. Hurry up and drink its blood while it's still dead, that's a great tonic!" Rui Tian shouted anxiously in the Soul Suppression Jade.

Although Nian An resisted a little, he obediently came to the saber-toothed tiger's corpse, lowered his head, and gently sucked at the incision on his neck. The hot blood flowed into Nian An's mouth, and what was surprising was that there was no strong smell of blood, the slightest sweetness, but a feeling of tongue and tongue. The first taste of sweetness, Nian An let go of the care in his heart, gulped the blood, and after a while, his whole body became hot. A burst of itchy feeling came from all over his body, his face gradually turned red, and he saw that the wound on the surface, wrapped in white mist, actually healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it didn't take long for a bloody scab to form.

Although with the help of tiger blood, Nian'an's current recovery speed is too amazing in the eyes of ordinary people. However, Ruitian, who had seen the powerful Si Ming Jue many times before, was not surprised, and said calmly: "Stinky boy, you are still too tender, and it is inevitable that you can kill the saber-toothed tiger this time." ”

But this is the case, whether it is the dark wound left by Hei Yan on the saber-toothed tiger's claws, or the surging battle intent at that moment, it is not intentional, if it is not a coincidence, I am afraid that he has already died in Jiuquan. Nian An recalled Fang Cai's battle while pranayama, and silently concluded: "Xiaotian, what you said is right, this battle made me discover two drawbacks, first, the lack of body skills. If I am fast and flexible enough, I can calmly dodge when the saber-toothed tiger pounces, and I will not be forced to be injured when counterattacking, so I can easily find a flaw and defeat the saber-toothed tiger in one fell swoop. Second, the singleness in the use of spiritual power, there is a body of spiritual power, but it can only be instilled into the body of the White Night Sword, not only that, but he didn't even understand the characteristics of his own black flame, which is really a fluke. ”

Ruitian heard Nian'an's reflection and praised with satisfaction: "Being able to clearly see your own shortcomings, you kid didn't disappoint me, but what you said is understandable, after all, this is your first battle." I have been honing my basic swordsmanship before, and when you learn more diverse martial arts in the future, you will be able to deal with different ways to deal with it when you have a sword qi or a rock solid. Besides, I didn't expect that you could deal with the half-awakened saber-toothed tiger, in that state, its strength has definitely reached the realm of ordinary third-order demon beasts, as for the black flame formed by your spiritual power...... I smelled a trace of Yuanyan on it, it seems that there is something more, I can't tell, anyway, you remember, it can scorch spiritual power, and then slowly explore it in the future. ”

Nian An nodded, thinking of the various mysteries of martial arts, and couldn't help but beg slightly: "Xiaotian, you said that I have almost practiced basic swordsmanship, can you teach me some other martial arts?"
