Chapter Thirty-Eight: Cruelty Ends in the South, and Danger Arises
Xuanyuan Baige's heart was blocked in his throat at the moment. Mu Hu was the least vigilant at this time, and it would be even more difficult if he didn't start, and the sky was gradually getting darker. Xuanyuan Baige bit the tip of his tongue, held the short knife back, bent his body, exerted his legs, and bounced out in an instant. After casting, his strength has increased considerably, and this leap can be regarded as very fast.
It's just that as soon as he left, the branches and leaves were rustled by him. Mu Hu, who was eating dinner, immediately stopped, and when he looked up, Mu Hu stopped chewing, as if he was fluctuating.
"Roarβ"
Mu Hu immediately reacted, realizing that there were other creatures "presumptuous" in his territory, and stood up and roared at Xuanyuan Baige.
β¦β¦
The silence of the Zhongnan Realm was restored, and Xuanyuan Baige was running desperately in the Zhongnan Realm with a blood-dripping short knife in his hand at the moment, and a wooden tiger with bleeding front legs behind him was chasing him frantically.
Xuanyuan Baige failed to sneak attack, the short knife lost its head in the air, and the head of the wooden tiger was not cut, but was dodged by the wooden tiger one by one, and was slashed by Xuanyuan Baige's short knife in the forelimbs, and a hole was cut out by the trend. The painful wooden tiger roared angrily, turned around and was about to pounce on Xuanyuan Baige, Xuanyuan Baige saw that a blow could not be achieved, and immediately rolled on a donkey, and then got up and ran, how could Muhu let him go, ignoring the leg injury and chasing him directly, just like that, one person and one tiger started a chase battle in the Zhongnan realm.
Xuanyuan Baige didn't dare to look back, because as soon as he turned around, the speed would slow down, and the sound of the wooden tiger behind him never stopped, which made Xuanyuan Baige panic when he heard it.
A quarter of an hour later, Xuanyuan Baige, who was running wildly with all his might, still did not get rid of the wooden tiger, and this wooden tiger did not seem to be dying. Xuanyuan Baige was anxious in his heart, logically speaking, this wooden tiger was injured, bleeding constantly, and the speed should slowly decrease, right, he couldn't help but look back, this sight, made him cry, this wooden tiger ran towards him from a zhang away, and when he turned around, there was another roar, and he was so frightened that he quickly twisted his head back and concentrated on running for his life.
It's not that the injured Wood Tiger's speed hasn't slowed down, but that Xuanyuan Baige's own speed has also begun to slow down, so that the distance between the two hasn't widened.
Xuanyuan Baige became more and more anxious in his heart, if he continued like this, it would be a matter of time before he was caught up. You have to think of a way. In the midst of the madness, the trees kept flying by.
Xuanyuan Baige, who was out of order, suddenly noticed the surrounding trees and immediately slapped his head.
Wooden tigers can't climb trees!
Xuanyuan Baige looked at a thick tree in front of him, accelerated his speed, rushed to the tree, and climbed up directly with speed. At this time, Xuanyuan Baige breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his face, and looked back, this time, he suddenly showed a strange expression. I saw the wooden tiger stop at five feet away from the tree, one of his forelimbs was red with blood, glanced at him, roared lowly, limped back, and seemed to have seen something that scared it.
Just when Xuanyuan Baige was confused, suddenly he felt a darkness above his head, and a fishy smell that made people want to vomit came to his face, and before he could raise his head, a huge brown snake head with red eyes spitting snake letters, almost rushing down against his face, followed by a snake body as thick as a bucket, extremely fast, and the fishy wind almost blew him off the tree. Xuanyuan Baige's face turned from red to white, from white to blue, and finally to white, the moment he saw the snake's head, he felt that his heart didn't dare to beat, and he didn't dare to move anymore by holding the tree.
After all the snakes went down, Xuanyuan Baige looked down, and he saw a giant snake with a whole body brown opening its huge mouth and rushing towards the wooden tiger, and the wooden tiger was like a kitten at the moment, seeing the giant snake attacking instantly, he turned around and ran, the speed was a few points faster than chasing Xuanyuan Baige, where was there still a little bit of the previous majestic appearance.
Even Xuanyuan Baige, who had been in the South Realm for four months, was stunned at the moment. Seeing the snake and tiger disappear from view, Xuanyuan Baige finally opened his mouth and gasped for breath, only now did he realize that his heartbeat was like a drum, beating as fast as he plopped.
Xuanyuan Baige, who was relieved, immediately got off the tree, ready to leave, the giant snake just now saw that the wooden tiger was injured before going to attack it first, the wooden tiger is bound to die, when the giant snake comes back, he will definitely not be spared, and the blood of the wooden tiger will flow all the way, and there will inevitably be other beasts to find it soon, at this time, if you don't run, when will you stay!?
Xuanyuan Baige didn't run immediately after getting off the tree, but walked to the side of the small tree as tall as him, only to see that it was full of emerald green fruits the size of a baby's fist, Xuanyuan Baige picked a handful from it and kicked it into his arms, leaving three in each hand, grasping it in front of his chest, closing his eyes and holding it hard, the liquid was splashed between his fingers in an instant, and two strands of choking green gas erupted, which spread all over his body in a moment, and then Xuanyuan Baige put the remnants of the country in his hands in his mouth, chewed for a while and then spit in his hands, Then he smeared the green residue on his face, hands, and other exposed parts of his body, as well as the bloodstained short knife, as well as the blood stains of the wooden tiger on his body, before finally leaving the place.
After running wildly in the Zhongnan Realm for so long, Xuanyuan Baige had long since lost his way. In addition, the sun is about to set, and his physical strength has already been consumed just now, it is impossible to hunt other fierce beasts, so he can only spend the night in the Zhongnan Realm tonight, Xuanyuan Baige sighed helplessly, and now he can only find a safe place to hide and recover his strength.
The sky finally darkened completely, and Xuanyuan Baige was on a tall tree of medium thickness, and it was not safe on the tree in the southern boundary, but it was relatively safe compared to the ground.
Jiang Tianzong didn't know when he was already standing outside the Zhongnan Realm, he looked at the sky, and then glanced at the Zhongnan Realm, his footsteps moved slightly, and he appeared on a branch on the periphery, and sat cross-legged directly.
Xuanyuan Baige pulled the neighboring branches together, tied them with vines, made a net, and then crushed the green fruit and smeared it on his body, and sprinkled the juice of the green fruit around his "bed", which made him feel a little relieved. After doing this, the sky has completely darkened, and the southern realm has ushered in the dark night.
Xuanyuan Baige sat on the net, not relaxed, but more nervous, confirming that it was safe for the time being during the day, but many dangers only appeared at night.
Xuanyuan Baige pricked up his ears to listen to the movements around him, his eyes were almost useless in the dark night, and he had to rely on other senses.
After confirming that there was no danger, Xuanyuan Baige lay down, but instead of falling asleep, his eyes widened, looking at the darkness, thinking about how he should practice Shengjie, the more he thought about it, the more headache he had, as if this was something that was impossible to do. Xuanyuan Baige thought hard and had no clue, sleepiness hit, and his eyelids began to press down.
"Squeak!"
A strange cry came from afar, the sound was slight, and after Xuanyuan Baige heard it, his eyes that were about to close opened suddenly, and he immediately sat up, as if facing a great enemy.
The night of the South Realm is generally relatively quiet, not that there are no fierce beasts active at night, but the fierce beasts that are active at night almost do not make beast calls and attract danger, and the fierce beasts that dare to call at night are definitely the kings of the dominant side.
"Squeak! Creak! β
The strange screams slowly approached, and more and more, one after another, as if many fierce beasts were screaming at the same time, and the strange screams were mixed together.
"Night Monkey!" Xuanyuan Baige screamed in his heart.
Xuanyuan Baige finally remembered what this sound was.
"Impossible!"
Xuanyuan Baige immediately denied his judgment.
The night monkey, which is active at night, has sharp claws and teeth that can bite stones, and the attack power of a night monkey may not be as good as that of a wooden tiger during the day, but what is frightening is that the night monkey is a fierce beast that lives in groups, generally more than twenty, and it is very united. But they only live in the depths of the South Realm, and almost never come to the periphery.
The strange screams were getting louder and closer, and the sound was almost indistinguishable from that of the night monkeys.
Xuanyuan Baige frowned, he vaguely saw a little green light flashing in front of him, and after a while, the sound of swaying branches and leaves came, Xuanyuan Baige saw clearly, the green light was a pair of eyes, and at this moment it was stopping not far ahead, no longer crying, quiet, not to mention that there were twenty pairs of green eyes all looking at the same target - Xuanyuan Baige!
Although Xuanyuan Baige had already held the short knife in his hand, he was stunned in his heart, he felt a trace of despair, he knew very well the ferocity and horror of the night monkey, he didn't even have the heart to resist, and sat stupidly on the net. The night monkey has excellent eyesight at night, and its movements are agile and fast, and it has no chance to escape at all.
Suddenly, a strange cry came out in front of him, and suddenly, there was a restlessness, and the swaying sound of swaying leaves continued to sound. , Xuanyuan Baige listened to it with a numb scalp. Immediately after, Xuanyuan Baige saw a pair of eyes glowing green flying towards him, and then the others also flew over, Xuanyuan Baige seemed to see those monkeys Xuanyuan Baige simply closed his eyes, looking like he was waiting for death.
Jiang Tianzong stood on a branch of a tree on the periphery, and under the faint starlight, a pair of bright eyes stared in the direction where Xuanyuan Baige was, seemingly exuding a strange brilliance.
"Night Monkey? You're making a bit of a joke. Jiang Tianzong muttered in a low voice.
Xuanyuan Baige sat on the net, motionless like wood.
Just now, those night monkeys did not pounce on Xuanyuan Baige, but stopped around Xuanyuan Baige, dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Xuanyuan Baige, shook the branches, and left after screaming for a while.
There was silence all around, except for the sound of small insects and the rustling of branches and leaves in the night wind, as if nothing had happened just now. Xuanyuan Baige slapped himself a few times, and the pain on his face told him that he wasn't dreaming. In the end, Xuanyuan Baige accepted this fact in confusion. After that, there was nothing else to do, Xuanyuan Baige slept lightly all night, and began to practice in the Zhongnan Realm again.
