Chapter 229: How could there be a tiger
Half an hour later, the group set out again and headed into the mountains ahead.
The road up the mountain was fairly smooth, but there were remnants of bricks and stones everywhere along the way.
The further you went, the wider the road became, and at the end of the road there was a very wide area of flat land, but everywhere it was ruins, broken stones, and weeds, making the ruins look extremely desolate.
Obviously, there were many buildings here, but they are so old that they have collapsed for some reason.
"Could it be that this is a martial arts sect from ancient times?" Seeing this scene, everyone was surprised.
In terms of land occupation alone, this sect can be called large-scale and extraordinary, and its strength must be good if it can open up such a large flat land in the deep mountains.
The ruins are so vast that the outlines of palaces can be faintly seen.
Everyone also stopped and looked around, secretly amazed, and compared with their previous sects.
"If the previous formation had already existed, then it was very likely that this was a sect where cultivators gathered, and a martial arts sect belonging to the Extraordinary People! No wonder Fan Yuan would come here, could it be that this is the ruins of an ancient sect, but he is here to explore the secrets?"
Zhou Yang blurted out, and then glanced at Wu Changan.
Wu Changan nodded and said, "Brothers, on the whole, it is very likely that this place is the remains of an ancient cultivator sect. And the ability of the ancient cultivators is beyond the reach of our generation, especially all kinds of forbidden formations, even if they are extremely broken, they can exert great power, we must be careful to prevent accidents!"
"Yes, I can't imagine that in a mortal country, there are actually the ruins of an ancient sect! The mountains here are high and dense, and there is a phantom array to protect them, how did that Fan Yuan know?" Hu Zhiran sighed, but also had some doubts.
"He must have come in search of treasure, but it was only ten years without success. Zhong Ming affirmed.
"Maybe, but the treasure hunt has not been successful for ten years, and it seems that this ancient ruins are not simple, and we must not take it lightly. "Pu Zheng Dao.
"Hmm. Whether it is a martial arts sect or an ancient sect, we must be careful to do it, just in case. Okay, let's go on and look inward. Seeing that everyone was not expressing their opinions, Zhou Yang said.
"Okay, let's go. ”
It was still Zhou Yang and Wu Changan who were in front, leading everyone forward.
About half an hour later, the group cautiously walked through the ruins, and in front of them was a huge square!
This square is much larger than the previous ruins, but there are not many ruins and broken stones, just withered yellow weeds, which are more than a man high.
This shows that it is very likely that this place is a cultivator sect, because ordinary martial arts sects do not have the strength to open up such a large square in the deep mountains.
Besides, such a large square is useless for them.
Cultivators, on the other hand, have a much larger range of activities, and the space they need is countless times larger than that of martial artists, regardless of whether they practice or compete.
Zhou Yang suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then patted his head and said, "Everyone, have you ever seen the dougong cornices outside the Moon Ridge?"
Everyone was stunned, and Wang Dahai took the lead and said: "Yes, I also saw it, it should be a palace group." But after walking so far, why haven't you seen a single temple?"
"Yes, I saw it too! After entering the ridge, I patronized the path, and really ignored it. Liu Wen also said.
"Yes, it does. ”
Everyone spoke one after another, and they all said that they had seen the dougong cornice. Judging from the situation in the ridge, there are ruins in the fall, and there are palace complexes there.
With everyone's proof, Zhou Yang was sure that what he saw was not an illusion. But why can you see it from outside the mountains, but you can't see it when you enter the mountains?
"Could it be that it's also a phantom array?" Wu Changan thought thoughtfully.
"But what's the point of that phantom array?" Iron Tiger interjected.
"Yes, if there are no palaces to enter, why bother?" Hu Zhiran also shook his head.
"And in that ruin, there are no relics or bones, which is diametrically opposed to the mountains and forests outside the mountains, how can this be explained?"
"This Moon Ridge is full of mystery, no wonder Fan Yuan hasn't figured out the reason for ten years. Tiger said.
"I'm sure I don't know about these mysteries, so let's take a look at them first. Zhou Yang couldn't figure it out, so he had to go one step further and then talk about it.
"Let's go. ”
Walking through the clearing, the speed was naturally much faster, and in less than a cup of tea, everyone crossed this huge square.
Compared to the yellowish color of the square, there is a patch of green in front of it, and although it is not as green as in summer, it is still quite pleasing to the eye when a large area of green appears during this season.
It was a field of green bamboo, and all around the green bamboo were evergreen holly. The spring breeze blowing, and the bamboo swayed from side to side.
Some of the bamboo leaves have fallen off, and some are still hanging tenaciously on the bamboo stems, but spring has arrived, and the green is getting thicker at this time.
In that bamboo forest, several bamboo houses can be faintly seen, which are hidden by the bamboo forest, looming. A gravel path stretches from the feet of the crowd to the bamboo forest.
"That's ......" Wu Changan's eyes froze, and he finally saw the artificially built house, but it also made his heart hang, this was probably Fan Yuan's residence, and maybe there were other cultivators.
Zhou Yang hurriedly released his divine sense, but he didn't detect the fluctuation of spiritual power, and he didn't find anything.
With a wave of his hand, everyone showed their blades and magic weapons, and slowly approached the bamboo forest.
The bamboo house is becoming clearer and clearer, there are three rooms, and the whole body is made of bamboo, and there are no other materials.
The bamboo house was quiet all around, and there was no one in the house.
At the gate of Yuntian County, Zhou Yang and the others obviously heard the little gangster say that Fan Yuan had a brother named Wang Wei, and that little gangster was Wang Wei's cousin, so he escaped.
But where is Wang Wei now?
Wu Changan also probed with his divine sense, and then said: "There is no formation, but there is the breath of a beast in the bamboo forest."
"Whew!......" As soon as his words fell, two white shadows suddenly burst out of the bamboo forest, accompanied by a huge beast roar.
The two shadows were as fast as the wind, and they pounced directly on Zhou Yang and Wu Changan at the forefront.
The two of them were shocked, hurriedly used their spiritual power, and their bodies retreated.
Zhou Yang's speed was faster, and he pulled Wu Changan casually, and the two of them instantly retreated more than ten feet away. However, Zhou Yang did not stop his figure, his toes just touched the ground, and he retreated back a few feet, which stabilized his figure.
The incident happened suddenly, and the people behind them also reacted after being stunned, and they all flashed back in a hurry.
However, the two white shadows did not chase after them again, but stopped, and their figures were completely revealed.
When everyone feels safe, they look on it.
"It's the White Tiger!"
Those two huge spotted beasts turned out to be very rare white tigers!
The black and yellow patterns on the two tigers are dense, the tiger heads are swaying from side to side, the fangs on the corners of their mouths are exposed, and they are staring at everyone with big eyes at the copper bells, and they look extremely hideous.
It's not that the two tigers don't chase everyone, but they can't chase everyone if they want to.
Because there is a silver ring around their necks, and the ring is tied to a long iron chain, which leads to the bamboo forest.
At this time, the iron chain was pulled straight, and the forelimbs of the two tigers jumped up from time to time, roaring incessantly, almost trying to break free from the iron chain and pounce on everyone.
It's just two tigers, and Zhou Yang and the others are relieved. However, Fang Cai is very dangerous, if it weren't for the two of them to hide quickly, how would they have to suffer some hardships.
Although the two white tigers are vicious, they are still beasts, not demon beasts, and they cannot pose a threat to them.
Although it is not a demon beast, the tiger is the king of beasts, and its strength is comparable to that of a second-level high-level, or even a third-level beginner-level demon beast, which is equivalent to the peak of Kaiyuan or the early stage of the Lingtai, and it is extremely difficult for cultivators below the Lingtai realm to deal with.
"This damn Fan Yuan actually raised two white tigers, but what can this do, can you stop me from waiting?" Song Laohu began to scold again.
"Fan Yuan has killed three tigers, could it be that there are not only three in Mochizuki Ridge, but the remaining two have also been captured by him?" Bai Meng said as he stared at the furious White Tiger.
"Maybe. However, their range of activities is limited, and they can only protect three bamboo houses, which should be enough to deal with some low-level cultivators and martial arts masters. Zhou Yang said.
Seeing the two white tigers, he suddenly remembered the red tigers, and a trace of gloom appeared on his face.
"Forget it, this tiger skin is good, it can be made into a robe. Song Laosan didn't care.
His name is Tiger, and when he wears a tiger skin coat, he is probably very stylish.
"No!" As soon as he heard that he was going to kill two white tigers, Zhou Yang blurted out as if reflexively.
Song Laosan was stunned for a moment, and looked at it a little strangely. What's wrong with this fourth, isn't it just killing two tigers, as for being shocked!
Pu Zheng and the others also looked over. Tie Hu glanced at Zhou Yang and seemed to have an understanding.
"Oh, we are here to find out the details of Fan Yuan, not to be his enemy, if we kill the white tiger he raised, it will inevitably anger him, then we will become mortal enemies, and it is not in line with our original intention, so it is better not to kill. ”
Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt speechless, but his reaction was very fast, and the reasons he found were also somewhat reasonable.
"What the fourth brother said is that it is better not to provoke the master of Tianyuan, and to investigate quietly will not provoke him, so good, so good. Song Laosan's attitude immediately changed.
In his opinion, the words of the fourth brother are almost always wrong.
"That's right. However, these two white tigers are not easy to handle, easy to kill, but difficult to subdue. Wu Chang'an said.
"It doesn't matter. Captain Pu!" Hu Zhiran looked at Pu Zheng.
"Good. Pu Zheng nodded, then stepped out and approached a white tiger.
Hu Zhiran also stared at the other white tiger, and the two of them flickered, and the white tiger suddenly became furious, and pounced on the two of them with teeth and claws.
However, the two did not get closer, but their bodies suddenly retreated, and the white tiger that rushed towards the two was stretched by iron chains, unable to move forward, and was tightly bound.
