Chapter 23: The Shadowmane Lion!

The eastern part of the northern section of the mountain range.

Lin Que urged the snake shadow to step, running at full speed, and the figure shuttled between the mountains and forests.

And behind him, the people of the Zhou family chased after him relentlessly, outflanking him back and forth from three directions.

The snake shadow step is characterized by flexibility, but in terms of speed, it is not very good, it can only be said to be decent.

Therefore, Lin Que never threw off the pursuers behind him.

Fortunately, his physical body is strong enough, even if the consumption of true qi is huge, he can still maintain full speed with his physical body.

But the Zhou family's protectors are not slow, and they can occasionally close the distance.

Lin Que resisted desperately and was seriously injured before he pulled the distance away again.

But if it goes on like this, there will always be a time when he will run out of strength.

Under Lin Que's super endurance, everyone in the Zhou family was exhausted, and they were about to catch up.

"What kind of animal is this boy? How can you run so much? ”

The martial artist of the Zhou family said breathlessly while chasing.

"No, I can't hold it anymore."

Zhou Kun said angrily: "A bunch of waste. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and waved it, and several bottles of elixir flew out and fell into the hands of everyone.

The martial artist of the Zhou family opened it and found that it was actually a qi replenishing pill inside.

As the name suggests, this is an elixir that can restore the true essence in a short period of time.

The effect of using it is much faster than simply using spirit stones to recover.

However, it is worth a lot of money, in Blood Flame City, a Qi Replenishing Pill costs three lower-grade spirit stones.

Ordinary martial artists are usually reluctant to use it.

With this Qi Replenishing Pill, the speed of the people in the Zhou family has increased a lot.

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Que had already gone deep into the northern mountain range, and the rapid journey along the way made him start to get a little tired.

Even if it is an iron body, there are times when it is tired.

He was about to reach the limit of what his flesh could bear.

As you go deeper into the northern part of the mountain range, the surrounding vegetation is also different from the outside.

The plants here are relatively taller and stronger, and there are many vines entwined at a height of 100 meters above the head, like a large net covering the sky, enveloping the entire mountain forest.

The surrounding light is somewhat dim, almost dusk.

But Lin Que knew that it was noon.

Since the morning, he has noticed that not only have there been fewer creatures.

There wasn't much sound around, only the Zhou family warriors who were constantly chasing behind them, and when they stepped on the ground, they rubbed against the vegetation.

Suddenly, the people of the Zhou family, who had been chasing behind them, suddenly stopped and stopped advancing.

In front of the team, Uncle Heng looked at Lin Que's distant back and thought thoughtfully.

Zhou Kun followed behind: "Why did you stop?" Chase it! ”

Under the urging of Zhou Kun, the martial artists of the Zhou family were about to continue to advance, but they were stopped by Uncle Heng.

Uncle Heng shook his head and said, "No, the front has already entered the depths of the northern mountain range, and three miles further forward is the territory of the Shadowmane Lion!" ”

Warriors who have traveled in the northern mountain range all year round know that there is a powerful demon beast here.

A radius of dozens of miles is its territory, and any creature that dares to step into it will become its rations.

Uncle Heng added, "This place is extremely dangerous, the Shadowmane Lion is strong and has a keen sense of smell, if we break in, it is likely to alarm it and be attacked. ”

"With the strength of my peak of the Mortal Realm, it is no problem to protect myself, but I am not sure to protect the young master."

"The junior of the Lin family broke into it, and he was already certain to die."

Zhou Kun: "What a fool, wasted a black jade intermittent vine in vain!" ”

The territory of high-level demon beasts, they didn't dare to enter it.

Lin Que ran inside, most of them would be swallowed alive by the demon beasts, and the black jade intermittent vine would not be able to get it back.

As for the Xuan-level martial arts, after going back, you have to check it carefully, the Lin family may have high-level martial arts.

……

Deep in the northern part of the mountain range, the mountains stretch and flow endlessly, and in the low-lying part of the mountain, a patch of purple trees grows with lush foliage.

When night falls, these purple leaves glow like stars in the sky.

And under the shade of the tree, a lion covered in blue and purple, more than a man tall, was prostrate on the water's edge, staring at the fish swimming in the water.

With a brush, there was a sound of breaking wind in the air, and a sharp claw poked into the water, grabbed a sabertooth salmon weighing several pounds, and bit down with a big bite, and suddenly lost half of his body.

When the lion was full of food and drink, he cocked his long tail, closed his eyes slightly, and took a quiet rest.

Crash!

Not far away, a fluctuating sound of water flow.

With the voice, a figure was walking along the water, coming this way.

Lin Que took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and stepped on the river with his feet, a cool feeling came to his heart, and he felt very comfortable.

After several days of running for his life, he was already too tired.

The shocking wounds on his body were dripping blood downward, staining the surrounding waters red.

In Lin Que's storage bag, there was also a three-flower jade dew pill given by Doctor Wang.

This is a healing elixir, with his current cultivation, as long as there is still a breath left, any internal and external injuries can be healed.

He wasn't going to take it down, though.

The injuries on his body were serious, but they were not life-threatening.

Somehow, a few hours ago, the Zhou family suddenly stopped chasing.

Thinking about it, maybe there was still something to do, and I couldn't catch up with him for a while, so I gave up.

Lin Que stretched his muscles: "I finally breathed a sigh of relief." ”

The waters look good, clean and clear, and there are quite a few dry shrubs around it, which is suitable as a temporary base to heal your wounds.

In particular, there are many big fish in the water, and these days he eats dry food, and he has long wanted to eat hot food.

So, Lin Que took out the long sword that he had captured from several adventurers from the storage bag directly and began to wave it in the water.

The sword light flashed, and in the blink of an eye, several fat big fish floated on the surface of the water.

Each one weighs more than a dozen pounds.

After picking up some dry firewood, a bonfire was lit next to the water, and with the simple processed fish, he began to close his eyes and recuperate, and his true qi flowed in his body, running for a long time.

And just when Lin Que was concentrating and concentrating on recovery, behind him, a big lion was quietly approaching.

The Shadowmane Lion's steps were light, and he didn't make a sound when he stepped on the water.

Its skin was peculiar, emitting a dull glow, but in the darkness of the night, it was almost transparent.

Invisible, silent, ghostly.

At this moment, Lin Que suddenly felt that there was a yin wind blowing behind him, and the surroundings became cold.

Turning around suddenly, he saw a faint phantom figure dangling behind him, close to him, less than an arm's length.

He didn't see what it was, and his instinctive reaction caused his body to fly upside down and fall into the water.

The water is not deep, and even in the middle, it is only up to the chest.

The Shadowmane Lion's claws flew into the air, revealing its form.

Lin Que fixed his eyes and saw a huge lion, with purple flames in his eyes, and every step he took, his feet were accompanied by a green lotus pattern, leaving a trail.
