Chapter 22: A Pyrrhic Victory

Moving quickly in the woods, Luo Yan determined the direction and walked towards the camp with Xu Pang.

The journey was fairly smooth, without encountering too many obstacles, and several waves of small beasts were avoided by them, so they returned to the camp very safely.

"Rest and rest, and go find the Fire Tiger tomorrow."

After Luo Yan said that, he lay on the ground and rested for a while before running the exercises and recovering his aura.

In the early morning of the next day, Luo Yan and Xu Pang glanced at each other, and they both saw the meaning in each other's eyes, and I am afraid that it will not be so simple next.

As early as a few days ago, Luo Yan had discovered the traces of the Fire Tiger, and it was inferred that the strength was conservatively estimated to be the realm of the fifth level of quenching, which was higher than both of them.

In this regard, the two can only put the Fire Tiger at the end, and plan to stabilize it.

Slowly approaching the Flame Tiger's place of residence.

It was a small hill, not very high, with few trees around it, and a large clearing, and at the foot of this mountain, there was a cave in which the fiery tiger was hiding.

Luo Yan, as he had been, first caught a few small animals, and after drugged himself, he ran into the entrance of the Fire Tiger Cave, looking forward to the performance of the Fire Tiger.

"Roar!"

A tiger roar sounded, and I saw a fiery red head with the same body, and the tiger stripes on its body were like a flame, as if it was burning, and the blazing tiger eyes were staring at the little beast in front of his cave at this time.

The Flame Tiger sniffed, suspicious in his heart, and looked at the little beast in front of him that was constantly struggling, but refused to escape, and fell into hesitation.

In normal times, the little beasts around it would have been afraid of its tiger might, so they would not dare to set foot here for half a step, but now this little beast was lying on the ground, trembling, even if he warned it, he could not let the other party leave.

This made it a little puzzled, and it was not impossible to feel that the other party was scared to pee.

Fortunately, he was not hungry, so he did not make a move on the little beast, and roared angrily, as if to warn, and turned back to the cave.

“……”

Luo Yan and Xu Pang in the distance were depressed, wasn't it time for them to come? Or is this fiery tiger a picky eater?

Depressed! The safest way to deal with the Fire Tiger is to find a way to put down the other party, but in this situation, it will not be possible to do it for a while, and it is not okay to leave, nor is it to leave.

Helpless, let's continue to squat and take a look.

Half a day passed, and the fire tiger came out of a hole in the middle, and seeing that it had not left and fell into a deep sleep, the fire tiger no longer hesitated, and after killing it, he returned to the cave.

At this time, Luo Yan and Xu Pang, who were not far away, were happy, which showed that there was a play.

After waiting for another long time, Luo Yan released a rabbit again and threw it at the entrance of the cave, trying to lure the Fire Tiger out.

The rabbit trembled at the entrance of the hole, helplessly restrained by the drug, and could not escape, so it let out a terrible scream.

After about ten minutes, Luo Yan and the others saw that there was no movement for a long time, and they felt that the Flame Tiger should be on the way, so they appeared and approached there.

"Let's go slowly, we must be careful."

Luo Yan held a dagger in his hand and walked in front, followed by Xu Pang, holding a fire fold.

The two of them slowly walked to the cave.

The cave is not big, it can accommodate two people to walk normally, the environment in the cave is good, and it can be seen that this fire tiger is quite clean, especially dry, not damp at all.

The two of them followed the entrance of the cave and slowly went deeper.

Luo Yan, who was walking in front, heard a heavy wheezing sound and stopped, and Xu Pang behind him also stopped when he saw this, and took the fire fold to the front, wanting to see the situation in front.

The flames illuminated the mountain wall, and the scene inside the cave fell into the eyes of the two.

Not far away was the end of the cave, where there was a stone treadmill with some fluffy, dry dead grass, and above the dead grass was a resting fiery tiger.

Luo Yan and the others glanced at each other, knowing that they had to fight quickly, otherwise they would be the unlucky ones.

The dagger in his hand flashed with cold light, Luo Yan tiptoed close to the Flame Tiger, the dagger had been raised high, ready to stab.

However, at this moment, the blazing tiger lying on his stomach opened his eyes violently, and the tiger stared at Luo Yan.

Not daring to delay, Luo Yan stabbed the dagger hard, wanting to kill him with one blow.

But the Flame Tiger seemed to have known their measurements for a long time, and as soon as he turned over, he escaped Luo Yan's attack.

"Roar!"

The Fire Tiger roared angrily, and the flame streaks on its body suddenly seemed to be alive, constantly wriggling, and the temperature around it also increased, and a pair of tiger eyes turned fiery red at this time, as if there was a flame burning in its eyes.

"Roar!"

The Flame Tiger roared angrily and pounced towards Luo Yan.

Luo Yan hurriedly flashed to the side, fortunately dodging it, and Xu Pang behind him also moved quickly and quickly retreated.

Staring at the fire tiger that was already looking at him, Luo Yan knew that now was the time for you to live or die, and you couldn't leave anything to chance.

The dagger was clenched by him, the aura on his body was running rapidly, and his five senses had been pushed to the extreme, ready to deal with the movements of the Fire Tiger.

It moved, and pounced again.

Without saying a word, Luo Yan dodged away, but this time, the Fire Tiger was not so simple. Luo Yan dodged the Fire Tiger's physical attack, but was entangled by its tail.

The tiger's tail was like a fiery snake, flexibly wrapping around Luo Yan's body, winding him around him, and was about to throw it to the ground.

Fortunately, Xu Pang attracted the attack of the Fire Tiger on the side, giving De Luoyan a chance to breathe.

Struggling to get up, Luo Yan quickly retreated, dodging the attack of the Fire Tiger's tail, leaning against the cave wall on the side, the dagger in his hand held tighter.

"Ding!"

The tiger's tail struck again, and at the same time, there were the front paws of the Fire Tiger.

Luo Yan lowered his head to dodge the attack of the tiger's tail, the dagger blocked in front of him, and collided with the tiger's claw, making a piercing sound of fine iron strike, and Luo Yan was bounced away by the force.

Xu Pang, who was behind the Flame Tiger, took this opportunity to launch a fierce attack towards the Flame Tiger, wanting to end the battle quickly. The Fire Tiger's defense was beyond Xu Pang's expectations, his attack landed on his body, only letting those hairs fall, but it didn't hurt a bit.

There is no way, Xu Pang's strength is too weak, he is only quenching the body threefold, and he is not the opponent of this Flame Tiger with five strengths at all.

"I don't want to be here!"

As soon as Xu Pang gritted his teeth, his physical strength and aura suddenly exploded, and a dark green ghost light attached to his body, and in an instant, Xu Pang seemed to have changed into a different person.

"Roar!"

The Flame Tiger realized that something was wrong, and pounced towards Xu Pang, but it was empty, and Xu Pang's speed increased by a notch, dodging its attack.

However, the dark green brilliance around Xu Pang's body was a little dimmed, obviously caused by the consumption just now.

"Running Tiger Fist!"

Luo Yan, who was relieved here, rushed over, and before the Flame Tiger could turn around, he had already punched his fists together and hit the Flame Tiger's back.

"Bang bang!"

The lightning flashed, and the Fire Tiger let out a miserable scream, and part of the fur on its back was blown open, and in some places it even looked blackened.

"Roar!"

Ignoring Xu Pang, the Fire Tiger turned around again, and was about to bite Luo Yan.

Luo Yan couldn't dodge, so he could only use his aura to defend, but his aura was originally unstable, and it was even more difficult to form a defense when he released it, and he was suddenly broken by the Fire Tiger.

The tiger's mouth bit on Luo Yan's left arm, and when he went down, blood flowed.

Luo Yan clenched his teeth, grabbed the dagger with his right hand, and kept stabbing at the tiger head in front of him.

But without the attachment of the aura, the dagger's attack could not break through the defense of the Fire Tiger, leaving only small openings, which were not enough to cause fatal damage.

"Ahh

Luo Yan saw the opportunity and stabbed at the tiger's eyes, and the dagger instantly sank into the tiger's eye socket.

The intense pain hit him, causing the Fire Tiger to let go of the tiger that had bitten Luo Yan, and kept retreating, shaking the tiger's head, trying to throw the dagger out.

However, the dagger had already pierced deeply, and it couldn't shake it off.

The aura around Xu Pang's body gathered, forming a dark green vine, which instantly wrapped around the body of the Flame Tiger, and actually grew barbs and cut through the Flame Tiger's fur.

And Xu Pang's aura had been exhausted, and he fell to the ground, and now he could only pray that his deadly vine would have an effect.

"Roar!"

First the dagger on its head, and now the vines on its body, the Fire Tiger was extremely angry, and a flame emanated from its body, wanting to burn the vines on its body.

The flames continued to burn, and the vine slowly withered, and the dagger in its tiger eyes had been forced out by it, and it was about to get out of control.

"Even if you use poison ivy, can't you help it?"

Seeing this scene, Xu Pang lost the strength to resist, his strength was originally the lowest, and he was very reluctant to deal with this fire tiger, at this time, he could hurt the other party, or he condensed his aura into a vine with all his might.

He cultivates wood-based exercises, but it is different from normal exercises, which can manipulate the energy of plants and trees normally, but it will also produce a toxin, which will gather in the body, and it is usually not visible.

Now, in order to save his life, he pinned all his toxins, as well as his aura, on that vine, but unfortunately his strength was too low, and before he could let the toxin attack, he had already been struggled out by the Fire Tiger.

"Lightning strikes..."

The Flame Tiger, who wanted to completely break free from the shackles, suddenly had a thunderbolt on his head, and a figure stood directly on its tiger head, it was Luo Yan.

Luo Yan's left hand was crippled and drooped aside, while his right hand was in the shape of a knife, which also showed a strange twist at this time, almost growing together with the head of the Flame Tiger, and fit completely.

And the thunder light also exploded there, Luo Yan's right hand was tightly attached to the tiger's head, and countless small thunder patterns on his body flickered, converging from all sides, following his right hand, and rushing into the head of the Flame Tiger.

At this time, Luo Yan was going to a porcelain doll that had been cracked, and his body was full of cracks made of thunder and lightning, as if his body was about to be broken into pieces.

However, the thunder and lightning showed a kind of vitality, and after a flash of lightning, it completely disappeared into the tiger's head.

"Bang!"

The Flame Tiger's body stiffened and fell to the ground.

Luo Yan, who was on his body, had already collapsed from the tiger's head at the moment when the lightning light disappeared and fell beside the fire tiger.

The Fire Tiger and Luo Yan both fell to the ground, as if they had died together.

When Xu Pang, who was not far away, saw this scene, he couldn't care about the pain on his body, and dragged his injured body and rushed towards the Fire Tiger.

Pulling out the dagger in the tiger's eyes, Xu Pang slashed the throat of the Flame Tiger several times, and finally the dagger was overwhelmed, the blade shattered, and the fragments were left on the throat of the Flame Tiger.

"Luo Yan!"

Xu Pang threw down the dagger, ran to Luo Yan's side, gently lifted him up, and gave a breath after making sure that he still had breathing.

However, I am still a little worried, after all, Luo Yan's current situation is not optimistic.

The left forearm was blurred with flesh and blood, almost crippled, if it weren't for Luo Yan's clothes, I'm afraid it would have been broken a long time ago.

And the palm of his right hand, which can no longer be called a hand at this time, is twisted and unshaped, as if it has been hit countless times by a heavy hammer, and the flesh and blood are blurred.
