Chapter 6 You can't have both the cake and the tiger's paw

The midday sun is so dazzling that even the leafy forest of bones can't block it all.

Forest of Dry Bones.

On the branches of a large tree, a black-robed man slowly woke up. It is the Katsura tree that sleeps in the wild.

Looking at the sun hanging high in the sky, Katsuragi knew that he had overslept. Get up and sit on a branch, one hand on the side, one hand scratching the head that is not yet awake, feet apart, vertical down.

Staying in this state for a while, Katsuragi adjusted from it. He pressed the branch with both hands, pushed it back, and the whole person jumped down from the tree more than ten meters away. His foothold was smashed directly out of a big hole.

Katsuragi slowly stood up straight in the big pit, and gently patted away the dust that had just been on his body with one hand. He twisted his head, then walked out of the pit with his feet up.

Gui Mu estimated his speed, and it would take several hours to reach Qingquan County. So he checked the map to see if there was anything strange along the way, so that he could spend two years.

The answer is no.

Katsuragi rushed from the forest of dry bones to a mountain called 'Quanyan'.

He squatted by a stream and washed his face with the clear water. Exhale softly and sit on the colored stones beside the stream. He touched his chest and pulled out half of yesterday's flatbread. I only ate half of this thing yesterday, and my stomach hasn't been hungry until now.

I have to say that this cake is full of one set, but it is a bit of a tooth to spare.

Katsuragi hesitated for a while, but he still couldn't get out of his mouth after all. At this moment, there was a commotion in the creek opposite Katsuragi. A blue-eyed white tiger stepped out of the woods opposite.

It was more than seven meters long, and it was the height of two and a half cinnamon trees. This thing scares people to death.

Its huge claws slammed against the colored stones on the other side of the stream, and its head was held high, and it roared towards the sky. Then, slowly lowered his head and looked at the unsightly insect on the other bank. Cyan light swirled through fist-sized eyes, and the huge tiger's mouth opened, revealing snow-white tiger teeth.

Katsuragi sat by the stream opposite the white tiger, and the whole person was stunned. It took a while to recover. He lowered his head, looked at the only half piece of bread left in his hand, and then looked at the extremely ferocious white tiger over there. Without looking, he threw away the half of the flatbread in his hand, and the flatbread drew a perfect trajectory in the air.

Katsuragi slowly stood up by the stream, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and then pulled out a black wood from his back. He lowered Kuroki upright on the ground, twisted his neck, and shook his right hand with the stick.

Seeing that the villain in front of him was not afraid of himself, Bai Hu couldn't help but be a little annoyed. It roared angrily at Katsuragi, exerting force on its hind legs, and its whole body jumped into the air.

Katsuragi covered his ears with his left hand and gripped Kuroki with his right hand. Seeing that the white tiger was about to pounce in front of him, he saw Guimu lift the black wood with his right hand and throw it upward. Kuroki smashed straight into the white tiger's jaw, and between the collisions, there was a loud noise. The black wood actually broke its trajectory alive.

The white tiger held its head high in the air, its blue eyes closed. Following Kuroki's strength, he fell straight into the stream, and the stream was instantly dyed blood-red.

Near the Quanyan Mountains, a caravan walked slowly along a narrow road.

"Grandpa Wu, that sound just now was terrible. ”

Ziyan looked a little nervous, and the cat lying in her arms was also obviously frightened by the sound just now. At this time, the body was constantly trembling, even though Ziyan kept comforting and caressing, but Ren didn't see any effect.

"This place is close to the Quanyan Mountain Range, and the sound must have come from the fierce beasts in the mountains. The fierce beasts in the Quanyan Mountains will not leave the mountain range, they have their own range of activities, so don't worry. ”

After listening to Wu Ma's words, Zi Yan breathed a sigh of relief. For her, fierce beasts are extremely terrifying, they eat people at every turn, there is no humanity at all, and they grow and grow, a head is as big as their own, and they are far less beautiful than their own kittens.

Wu Ma looked at the Quanyan Mountain Range, his expression a little puzzled. He had been to the Quanyan Mountains a few times, although several times he had wandered around the periphery.

He had a certain understanding of that mountain range, and knew that the overlord of that mountain range was a third-order ancient beast - the blue-eyed white tiger. He had the privilege of hearing the roar of the beast king from afar on the outskirts of the mountain range, and at that time, the qi and blood in his body were surging out uncontrollably, so that he had to cancel his plan and leave early.

And this time, he clearly heard the roar of the beast king, and it was ten miles away from the Quanyan Mountain Range. It's just that this time it's a little weird, and he can't say it clearly, and he feels that the cry is a little desolate. But after thinking about it, he found that something was wrong, how could a foreign beast at the overlord level of the Quanyan Mountain Range let out a desolate cry.

————

The core area of the Quanyan Mountains.

On a flat ground, a huge tiger skin was laid. Next to the tiger skin, there is a wooden shelf with a fire on it, on which rows of delicious tiger meat are skewered together.

The tiger meat makes a sizzling sound, and a drop of hot oil slowly slides down the lines of the plump meat, which is intoxicating. Katsura kept wiping his lips beside him, but the saliva just flowed down uncontrollably.

When the first piece of tiger meat entered his mouth, Guimu didn't even care about the temperature, his mouth was full of only fragrance, and his face was full of satisfaction. He didn't care about the image, grabbed the cooked tiger meat with both hands and put it in his mouth, eating his hands full of meat and his mouth full of oil.

"Hiccup!"

Katsuragi put down the juicy meat in his hand and burped with satisfaction. He threw the remaining tiger meat onto the white tiger skin, and then sat down on a piece of wood alone, touching his bulging belly with one hand and propping the other hand on the wood. The gesture is very leisurely.

The battle with the White Tiger almost emptied all the fierce beasts in the core area. Only a few beasts with good strength stayed in the lair and did not run to the periphery. Of course, in addition to staying in the nest, there are also those who go outside.

Like the one behind Katsuraki.

However, Katsuragi didn't know about it. After all, the white tiger has just been killed, and the fierce beasts left in the core area don't even dare to come out of their nests, let alone come to ambush him, and the fierce beasts with a little brains won't do this.

Katsuragi sat on the wood for a while, then got up and walked a few steps on the fairly empty flat ground to digest his stomach.

As he approached the woods, he sensed something was wrong. But at this moment, the black shadow lurking behind Katsura instantly swept out and hit Katsuragi's head.

After perceiving the crisis behind him, Katsuragi did not choose to dodge. Instead, he stood still, waiting for the dark shadow to come.

"Collapse!"

The black shadow landed in front of Katsura in a slightly embarrassed way, and at the place where it landed, many trees fell. It turned out that just as it was about to touch Katsuragi, the space around it was distorted, and it passed directly through Katsuragi's body. At this time, the person opposite had a playful expression.

"It's funny, do you admire your boldness, or do you mean you're stupid?"

Katsuragi looked at it with a playful look. In front of Katsura was a silver one-horned wolf. It is much smaller than the white tiger, with a single horn on its head, and its dark red eyes that resemble ghost fire floating at night.

At this time, its limbs clung to the ground, and it looked fierce, as if it would attack again at any moment.

"Don't do it, it's stupid, you wolf is not stupid. ”

Gui Mu didn't know when he had brought the black wood that was placed next to the shelf, and he put it on his left hand casually, his eyes squinted, just facing the dark moon silver wolf.
