Chapter 10: The Flaming Lion (Part II)
The Flame Lion shook its giant and swung its giant tail as it stepped forward slowly, roaring from time to time.
Shaoyang quickly calmed down the huge waves in his heart, and what he had to do now was how to get out.
He could not judge the intentions of the beast, but it was always dangerous to be placed at the feet of the beast.
Soon, however, he gave up on his attempts to escape. He scrutinized everything available to him, counted countless ways to escape, and came up with the word "death."
He believed that if he did anything rash, he would die without even a breath, so the best thing to do was to wait and wait for the opportunity to act.
Outside the cave, Yuemei held on to the mountain wall and gasped. As soon as she heard the sound of the inner cave, she understood that the holy beast in the inner cave had woken up, so she instinctively ran out desperately.
This is a conditioned reflex that has been formed for a long time, and it is also the way to survive why we have been alive for so many years.
Suddenly, she turned around and seemed to realize something.
"Shaoyang, Shaoyang is still inside!"
She covered her mouth and looked at the dark hole in front of her in a daze, feeling very guilty in her heart.
All the breeders before her, without exception, had not come out alive after alarming the holy beasts, and she should have told Shaoyang about this, maybe to avoid today's incident.
For a long time, it seemed that she could no longer suppress the grievances in her heart, Yuemei sat softly on the ground, and cried out with "whoa". This cry is so desolate that it is not pity.
From the day she was taken up the mountain by the immortals three years ago, her fate has changed, she is no longer the treasure in the palm of the family, and she is still loved by adults.
In the past three years, she has been wronged, and her crying at this moment seems to be to vent all the bitterness in her heart.
Because he had no talent, he was abandoned by the immortals, and because he was not obedient to the master, he was punished to take care of the holy beast.
Every day, I was afraid that one day I would touch the holy beast and become the food in its belly.
Now, I finally met an interesting person, because of her carelessness and hurt the other party, and also made herself lose a friend you can make friends with, and maybe the only friend here.
Inside the cave, Shaoyang didn't dare to move, even his breathing was extremely cautious, he didn't dare to exhale, he stared at the Flame Lion's every move.
Perhaps because of Shaoyang's acquaintance, the Flame Lion didn't take any further action, it just paced back and forth to look at Shaoyang.
Of course, occasionally he still let out a few low roars at Shaoyang, as if he was demonstrating, and he seemed to be afraid.
In this regard, Shaoyang's heart was palpitating, and he couldn't understand what the giant beast meant.
For a long time, a man and a beast looked at each other like this.
Outside the cave, Yuemei wiped away the tears on her cheeks and slowly stood up.
She didn't leave, and she still had a glimmer of hope for Shaoyang, although the probability was very small, but she still didn't want to believe it.
She stood at the mouth of the cave and hesitated, wondering if she wanted to go in and see what was going on.
If the holy beast has already returned to the inner cave, it will be fine, otherwise she will inevitably risk her life if she enters it like this.
Although Yuemei has a good impression of Shaoyang, she and Shaoyang are not related, and there is only one day between them, can she take this risk?
For a long time, the courage and obsession that came from somewhere made her decide to go into the cave to find Shaoyang.
Yuemei cautiously walked along the cave wall, pricking up her ears at the same time, listening to the sound ahead with a high degree of concentration.
She made up her mind that as soon as the wind blows, she must retreat.
Yuemei walked forward along the familiar route, a nerve tensed for a long time, and every step she took fell, her heart would chuckle.
There is silence ahead!
Just as Yuemei was about to approach the inner cave, she saw and saw a huge monster with flames.
"Holy Holy Beast!"
Yuemei's whole person froze in place, the boss with a pair of jade eyes. She stared blankly at the behemoth in front of her, and her whole body trembled unexpectedly.
This was the first time she had seen the true face of the holy beast, and the giant beast in front of her completely shattered her mind.
She was only a mortal, but a girl, and such a giant beast was something she would never dare to imagine in her life.
She had only heard about it before, and every time she saw the wind and steered, she didn't dare to be careless.
Maybe it's the nature of a girl, Yuemei instinctively let out a scream.
"Ahh
This scream woke up Shaoyang, and even more so the Flame Lion who looked at Shaoyang in detail.
The Flame Lion lifted the giant and roared at Yuemei. Suddenly, under this boundless majesty, the corners of Yuemei's mouth were sweet, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out. His body tilted involuntarily, and he fell to the ground, unconscious.
Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, and then ran towards Yuemei as if he was dying, and under this move, the Flame Lion roared again, and at the same time raised its giant claws and grabbed him.
"Smack!"
Under this giant claw, Shaoyang did not resist anything, and was slapped away by the earth-shattering power of this giant claw and hit the cave wall.
"Poof"
He only felt that the world was spinning, the qi and blood in his body were boiling, and the next moment he spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and he also lost consciousness and fainted.
The cotton clothes on his body were also torn to pieces under the sharp giant claws of the Flame Lion, and four huge wound grooves were clearly visible on his back, the longest of which was a foot long, and the blood from the wound flowed, instantly staining the entire body.
The Flame Lion raised its giant and roared into the sky, as if it was showing off its might, showing off its skills. It slowly moved forward, raising its right paw, as if to handle its prey.
Suddenly, at this moment, the purple ball worn on Shaoyang's neck emitted a burst of intense purple light.
Everywhere the purple light went, everything instantly lost its color, and the cave walls turned black in a moment, as if burnt.
After all, the Flame Lion is a fourth-order high-ranking demon beast, and its strength is not comparable to Shaoyang, so I saw it shaking its body and constantly urging its own spiritual power to resist the erosion of this strange purple mang.
But this purple mang is indeed extremely powerful, as if there is a kind of kingly spirit, the more you want to resist, the more you want to conquer, the purple mang is getting stronger and stronger.
Under the strong illumination of the purple rays, the flames on the Flame Lion's body gradually dimmed, as if they were about to be extinguished in a moment, and the Flame Lion's own red color was slowly losing its brilliance and turning into a dark red.
The Flame Lion's limbs were disturbed, and the spiritual power in his body frantically resisted the erosion of the purple mang, but it was to no avail.
As time passed, the roar of the lion, which was once proud, gradually became low and even hoarse.
With a loud bang, the Flame Lion knelt down, and his whole body knelt heavily on the ground, shaking the ground and trembling.
The majesty of the past completely dissipated at this moment, and it lowered its high head.
The eyes were no longer domineering, but frightened, and the entire behemoth was trembling
"Moonberry"
Shaoyang, who had fainted, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up suddenly.
"Am I alive?"
He pinched his face and examined his whole body, and was ecstatic to see that there was no pain.
"Yuemei, where is Yuemei?"
Shaoyang suddenly remembered that Yuemei was still there at that time. He glanced around intently, only to notice something unusual.
It was a huge cave, the walls of which were pitch black, and it was known that it had been burned by fire, and he was lying in a pile of red hair.
"Are you still in the Holy Spirit Cave?"
He jumped to his feet and picked up a hair casually, the crimson hair was more than a foot long, which was clearly the lion hair of the Flame Lion.
Shaoyang's face sank suddenly, and he ran out without thinking about it, he didn't want to encounter such a fierce beast again.
Just as Shaoyang rushed out of the inner cave, a familiar and unforgettable low roar sounded, it was the Flame Lion, which was returning from the outside at this time.
Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, and then said secretly:
"Not good!"
This said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, he didn't have time to think about it, and was about to lean on the cave wall.
Suddenly, the flaming lion crawled on the ground, and its whole body seemed to suddenly weigh on the ground, causing the cave to rattle.
It leaned over the giant, and let out a low roar that was not as powerful as before, but with tenderness.
Shaoyang was surprised, he couldn't understand the Flame Lion's behavior, but it was certain that it didn't have any malicious intent, and from the Flame Lion's eyes, he couldn't see any cold light.
For a long time, Shaoyang saw that the Flame Lion did not make any moves, but kept crawling like this, completely looking like a good boy, which was very different from what he had seen before.
So, he took a few bold steps forward, swallowed a mouthful of water, and stretched out his right hand to touch the Flaming Lion.
Seeing that the Flame Lion did not resist, he put down his hanging heart and touched a pair of small hands on the Flame Lion's big nose.
The Flame Lion let out a few low roars, and then kept rubbing against his little hands, and the relationship was very intimate.
Shaoyang was surprised, he didn't know what was going on, the holy beast in front of him actually turned a hundred and eighty degrees towards him.
He shook his head and didn't think about it, no matter what it was, this holy beast was not hostile to him, and it was a great thing for him.
Besides, now that this holy beast was so kind to him, it was too late for him to ask for such a good thing.
Shaoyang tentatively communicated with this holy beast, and to his great surprise, this holy beast turned out to be psychic, so he asked:
"Is Yuemei still alive, where is she now?"
The Flaming Lion let out a low roar.
Shaoyang was puzzled, what does this mean? Then he came to his senses, patted his forehead, and smiled bitterly.
The holy beast didn't know who Yuemei was at all, so he asked in a different way:
"Is the guy with me still alive?"
Sure enough, the holy beast nodded straight this time, and turned its head from time to time and roared outward.
Shaoyang comprehended, and ran towards the cave without thinking about it.
At this time, Yuemei was curled up on the bed, she was sluggish, and her eyes were full of horror.
The flaming lion's colossal body and the terrifying appearance of roaring at her left a deep scar on her heart, which she will never forget.
Ever since she woke up the day before, she had had nightmares every night, each time dreaming of the same memory, which was the flaming lion opening its bloody jaws to her.
Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope!
What's more, she was just a mortal, and a woman of fifteen or sixteen.
