Chapter 9: The Flaming Lion (I)

Outside the house was peaceful, except for the beautiful melody of the rustling of the cold wind through the treetops.

Late at night!

"Squeak...... Yikes" There was a knock at the door.

A short time later, a sharp stabbing scream rang through the night sky.

"Ah......h

This voice is so loud that there are no words to describe it, and it will wake up Shaoyang directly in his sleep.

He jumped to his feet, hurriedly turned on the lamp, and only in the light did he see a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old curled up beside him.

The girl was terrified and looked at Shaoyang in a daze. Perhaps seeing that the person in front of him was just a teenager, his expression suddenly eased a lot. I saw her stand up, patted her chest to show her composure, and then glanced at Shaoyang resentfully, stretched out her slender jade hand, pointed at Shaoyang and shouted:

"Who are you, and how do you sleep in my bed?"

Shaoyang was stunned, he was about to ask why the other party was in his house, but he didn't expect that he had become a thief who broke into someone else's house.

He smiled wryly, and without saying a word, he took the task card to the girl in front of him.

The girl took the task card and looked at it, and suddenly her mouth opened up, and then she burst out laughing. She already has a handsome face, and under this smile, the phoenix eyebrows are opened, showing the beauty of the city.

Shaoyang frowned, this was clearly schadenfreude, and his impression of this girl was a little worse now.

The girl also knew that she was out of shape, put away her smile, walked straight forward, sat on the bed, and said:

"Finally with company!"

Her expression was suddenly confused, as if she remembered the past, and sighed for a long time.

Shaoyang looked at his eyes, thoughtfully, and said in a low voice:

"My name is Cai Shaoyang, what's your name?"

It seems to have the intention of distracting the girl's thoughts.

The girl returned to her usual and said indifferently:

"My name is Yuemei!"

"A good name, moving like a jade moon, quiet like a cold plum. ”

Shaoyang praised, and only then did he notice Yuemei's jade-like face and the beauty of the city.

Yuemei sneered, and the solemnity just now dissipated instantly, and she quipped:

"At such a young age, he is so flamboyant. ”

Shaoyang also smiled awkwardly, but the relationship between the two was obviously eased, and they chatted slowly.

From chatting with each other, he learned that Yuemei's family was in a place called Yuejia Village in the west of Caijia Village, fifty miles away from Caijia Village.

Three years ago, Yuemei was brought to the Yuntian Sect by the immortals, and became a registered disciple because she failed the test. She has rotated five jobs, and because she covets her beauty, she would rather die than obey, and was finally punished as a breeder.

According to Yuemei, this breeder is the most dangerous job in this one, because they are not raising domestic animals, but huge beasts, which will be eaten by the beasts if they are not careful.

When she said this, Yuemei's face was panicked and terrified, and her slender jade hand had clenched into a fist.

Shaoyang comforted a little and told some jokes from time to time to dispel Yuemei's fear.

Outside the house, the cold wind was howling and raging, and inside the house, two figures were chatting with each other, and bursts of laughter were heard from time to time.

The next day, it was still dawn.

Yuemei was tidying up her clothes to prepare for today's work, and yesterday she and Shaoyang had a good conversation, maybe they were the same age, maybe they had a similar experience, and they talked until late before going to sleep.

After sleeping for only a few hours, Yuemei has woken up, and every day, it has become a habit over time. After she finished tidying up, she began to urge the sleeping Han Shaoyang.

After practicing for a year, Shaoyang has never slept in the true sense, and he meditates every day. Although immortal cultivators don't care about sleeping, because cultivation itself is also a kind of sleep, it's just that this method is a bit special.

Maybe it was because he had a heart-to-heart conversation, without any worries, and without looking at people's faces, he slept very relaxed, very naturally, which was quiet and comfortable that he had never had in a year.

Yuemei frowned, a pair of beautiful eyes kept turning, and her jade lips were slightly upturned, as if she had moved. Immediately, with a strong hand, he lifted the futon on Shaoyang's body, pointed at Shaoyang and laughed, and the light laughter was like the sound of heaven.

The moment the futon was lifted, Shaoyang felt a biting coldness that instantly chilled his entire body. He jumped up from his sleepiness and looked at Yuemei in a daze.

Immortal cultivators draw spiritual energy into their bodies and warm their whole bodies to resist the invasion of cold qi, so that they can't feel the cold between heaven and earth in the snowy regions of the extreme north. And Shaoyang's body could not store the spiritual energy, and he did not absorb the spiritual energy, he felt like falling into an ice cave at this time, and his body kept trembling.

It's the coldest feeling in a year!

Yuemei looked at Shaoyang's embarrassment in a daze, her beautiful eyes changed, and after a long time, she said easily:

"Put on your shoes, we're going to work. ”

Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, looked puzzled, and didn't wait to speak, only to hear Yuemei say:

"Pack up, tell you on the way. ”

With that, he walked out.

Shaoyang quickly put on his clothes and heels.

It's still night!

The two figures walked through the boundless dark night, and the silence around them was terrifying, only the sound of squeaky footsteps between walking.

On the way, Shaoyang learned that the place he went to was the Holy Spirit Cave in the back mountain. This Holy Spirit Cave is the place where the Holy Beasts of the Town Sect live, and it is sixty or seventy miles away from here, and the journey on the road will take seven or eight hours.

Departing at this time, arriving in the afternoon, and returning soon after nightfall, otherwise the road will be dangerous late at night.

During the walk, the sky was slightly bright, Shaoyang had already passed through the cultivation institute, and was walking towards the place where the outer disciples lived.

Along the way, Shaoyang and Yuemei talked and laughed, and time flew by in this joy

"Ah, here it is. ”

Yuemei's steps were brisk, she took a step forward, her jade fingers pointed forward, her handsome face was shining brightly against the background of the snow, and her black hair moved with the wind, like a fairy.

Shaoyang looked at it like a fool, and it took a long time to come to his senses and pat his forehead to make himself sober. He looked along Yuemei's jade fingers, and saw a big mountain in front of him, with an opening in the center of the mountain, and the hole was more than ten zhang high. Such a huge cave rock made him gasp, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Yuemei next to her chuckled and walked forward, she was like Shaoyang when she first came, she was shocked by this giant hole, and now she is no longer surprised.

When she reached the entrance of the cave, Yuemei reached out and pressed it to a place on the mountain wall. When she made contact, a white light flashed, then disappeared in an instant, and a moment a brocade box appeared from the air, and she reached out to hold it.

Shaoyang followed, this brocade box was very ordinary, without any gorgeous ornamentation, but when he looked closely, he felt that the surface of this brocade box was exuding a fragrance. Shaoyang inhaled violently, the fragrance entered the body, refreshing people's spleen, and the spirit suddenly felt invigorated.

According to Yuemei, the contents of this brocade box are the daily meals of the holy beast.

Shaoyang frowned slightly, thoughtfully, the thing in this brocade box must be unusual, he could clearly feel that under the inhalation just now, the aura contained in this fragrance was very sufficient, more than the aura absorbed by cultivation for an hour, and it was very pure.

Yuemei didn't find Shaoyang's abnormality, she walked along the cave wall, walked in lightly, and looked around with every step, looking very cautious.

Shaoyang followed behind, concentrating, carefully looking at everything around him.

He found that as he went deeper, the temperature in the air gradually increased, first making people feel warmer, and then gradually becoming a little hotter, so that sweat slowly oozing from their foreheads in cotton jackets.

At the same time, he found that Yuemei's face was extremely ugly, her expression was nervous, her breathing became rapid, and she even trembled slightly all over her body.

The interior of the cave is a huge grotto, crisscrossed by it, and if you are not familiar with it, you will definitely get lost inside.

Shaoyang followed Yuemei, slowly moving along a specific route, taking every step extremely carefully.

There is about a stick of incense!

Yuemei no longer walked forward, only to see her looking left and right, her expression was solemn, and she didn't dare to gasp. She stared cautiously ahead, listening intently, as if waiting.

Shaoyang's expression also became solemn, carefully observing the surrounding situation. He found that the color of the rock wall was getting darker and darker, from the brownish gray of the cave entrance to the dark gray of the present, and even further in the inner cave, the rock wall had turned black.

The temperature in the air was many times higher than before, and streams of heat wafted from the inner hole in the distance, hitting Shaoyang's face, crackling.

Fortunately, when he came in, Yuemei had already given him a Cool Pill. At the moment when the heat wave hits, a burst of cool air instantly spreads throughout the body and dissipates from the surface of the body, making the heat wave unable to go half a step further.

This Qingliang Pill is specially prepared by the sect for breeders, and its function is to prevent people from being burned by the heat wave before entering the inner cave and not allowed to enter.

Looking at Yuemei at this time, she seemed to have made a judgment, tiptoed to the front ten feet away from the inner cave, took out the brocade box, and opened it carefully.

Suddenly, there was a low roar from the inner cave.

Yuemei was stunned for a moment, and then shouted:

"Shaoyang, run!"

Before the words fell, I saw that she quickly threw away the brocade box and ran the way she came.

Shaoyang was stunned, and immediately understood, and without saying a word, he ran away.

"Roar"

Suddenly, an earth-shattering roar came from the inner cave, and the sound was as loud as the Nine Heavens Thunder.

Shaoyang only felt paralyzed all over his body, unable to move, the qi and blood in his body surged, and the next moment a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth.

He clutched his chest, his body trembling, and he felt his entire body being torn apart by the roar he had just had.

He instinctively looked back, and suddenly his feet involuntarily collapsed to the ground, his eyes showed a look of horror, and he muttered:

"This, this"

Not far in front of him, a behemoth beast stared at him with eyes the size of a football.

This giant beast was ten feet tall, and its huge body blocked the grotto. Its whole body was red, and its body emitted a fierce flame that reflected the entire cave red, and the air crackled under the fierce flames.

The Flame Lion, a fourth-order high-ranking demon beast, its strength is equivalent to the peak of human monks' departure, and the ability to watch the family is the lion's roar, which can shake mountains and gravel with a roar, and it can be said to be a second kill for monks who cultivate in the karmic realm under the departure.

Shaoyang's mouth widened, and the previous pain had long been forgotten. He looked at the giant beast in front of him in disbelief, there were really monsters in this world, and they were so huge, he was not even as big as the claws of this giant beast.

I used to tell Cai Fei'er about the strange people and monsters in this world, but that was just imagination. Now that the legendary demon beast is standing alive in front of him, he has set off a shocking wave in his heart.
