Li Erhu calmed the girl's emotions, and then put all his attention on the tiger.

When he stepped out of the shadows, the tiger suddenly stopped.

Li Erhu didn't dare to take it lightly, and while preparing for battle, he pulled the girl back slowly.

He knew that in the face of the most dangerous beast in the mountains, he had to keep an eye on its movements, and he must not turn around and run away, which would only leave his fragile back to this deadly hunter.

At this moment, the nearest stone houses were lit up.

It was the families who were woken up by the screams.

The adult men of these families had already dressed themselves, lit torches, opened the door with a wary face, looked at each other, and then took their weapons and went to the place where the sound came.

After all, Qiugang Village is close to the deep mountains and old forests, and there are fierce beasts such as tigers and wild boars in the forest.

If you want to survive in such a place, vigilance is essential.

This is not the first time that someone screams in the middle of the night has happened in Qiugang Village.

The last time was three years ago, when the king boar stormed into the field, crashed the barn, and destroyed a lot of grain.

So, after hearing the frightened screams of the maiden, the whole village woke up.

The adult men of each household quickly got up and dressed, went out with their weapons, and soon gathered with the large army and hurried in the direction from which the sound came.

The fire was getting stronger and stronger, and Li Erhu didn't need to look back, he also knew what was going on in the village.

He secretly said "Oops" in his heart, the tiger in front of him is not an existence that the villagers can scare away by huddling.

With the speed and strength it showed when it killed the Boar King in seconds, no matter how many people came, it was just delivering food.

Li Erhu was a little anxious, he had the heart to warn the villagers of Qiugang Village, but the tiger in front of him was eyeing him, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

Just as the atmosphere froze, the tiger suddenly yawned, glanced at him, and then turned and walked in the direction of the mountain temple.

Li Erhu was slightly stunned, and subconsciously stopped retreating.

At the same time, the first villagers have already arrived here.

By the light of the moon and the fire, they all saw the tiger that exuded a dangerous aura all over its body.

"Tiger!"

"It's a tiger!"

A man armed with a crude spear couldn't help but exclaim, and several other men quickly stepped forward, holding various weapons, protecting Li Erhu and his sister behind him.

The man at the head tilted his head slightly and asked in a low voice.

"Erhu, what's going on, why are you here?"

“…… That's a long story, and I'm afraid I can't say it clearly in a short time. ”

Hearing this man's inquiry, Li Erhu didn't know how to explain for a while, so he could only prevaricate perfunctorily.

The man glanced at him with a frown, and had no time to think about anything, and immediately looked at the tiger with a wary gaze.

Perhaps hearing the footsteps of a few people, the tiger paused, turned around slowly, and swept his gaze over the people in front of Li Erhu.

Seeing this scene, everyone became more and more vigilant, and several men standing on both sides held spears, staring at the tiger's eyes while slowly moving their steps, as if they wanted to disperse their positions and surround the tiger.

"Don't move!"

Li Erhu suddenly shouted.

The people around were stunned when they heard this, but they still subconsciously stopped.

The man standing beside Li Erhu frowned again and asked in a low voice, "Why?" ”

"Because it doesn't want us to pass ......"

Li Erhu replied softly, he already understood what the tiger meant: "As long as we don't go over, it won't hurt us." ”

"In the past? Where to? ”

"Mountain Temple."

Mountain Temple?

Hearing this, the man was stunned for a moment, and just when he wanted to continue asking, an exclamation attracted everyone's attention.

"Mountain...... Grandpa Mountain God! ”

Exclamations of shock and excitement rang out.

The crowd looked at the exclamator, and then followed his gaze.

I saw a tall and burly stone man walking slowly out of the mountain forest, and behind him, there were two half-sized little tigers, which were following him step by step.

"It's Grandpa Mountain God!"

"Grandpa the mountain god has appeared!"

Whether it was the villagers who arrived before or the villagers who came later, they couldn't help but shout excitedly when they saw this scene, and they crowded forward, wanting to meet the mountain god they had believed in for so many years.

Seeing this, Li Erhu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly shouted.

"Don't-"

"Roar!!

Before the words fell, the tiger had already jumped forward, opened its bloody mouth, and roared at the crowded crowd, and the tiger eyes that were as round as copper bells flashed with bloody killing intent.

The crowd shouted in amazement and stopped, weapons raised, and fell backwards with frightened faces on their faces.

Fortunately, the tiger had no intention of killing, and when everyone had retreated to a certain dividing line, it stopped and glared at the silent crowd.

At the same time, the stone man mountain god had already walked to Fu Youzhi's body.

Li Erhu was extremely nervous in his heart, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he quietly grabbed his sister's hand, wanting to take the opportunity to slip away.

As soon as he turned around, Li Erhu's eyes met a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling-

It's the elusive little squirrel.

At this moment, it was standing on his sister's shoulder, looking at him with a smirk.

"You...... When did you come. ”

Li Erhu's tone stuttered a little.

He already had a ghost in his heart, and when he saw this elusive little squirrel, he was immediately frightened and did not dare to move, and the courage he had just mustered disappeared without a trace.

The little squirrel glanced at him with disdain, then looked at the stone man mountain god in front of him.

Li Erhu followed its gaze, only to see the stone man mountain god squatting down and stretching out a hand to put it on Fu Youzhi's head.

After about half a minute, Fu Youzhi, who was lying on the corpse, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up from the ground suddenly, and his face with a blue nose and swollen face covered with blood slowly turned around and looked at Li Erhu in the distance.

"Fraud...... Corpse?! ”

Li Erhu couldn't help but take a step back, his eyes extremely frightened.

The girl standing behind him rolled her eyes and fainted on the spot.

Li Erhu noticed the girl's movements, and hurriedly grabbed her arm, and the little squirrel who was originally standing on the girl's shoulder jumped onto Li Erhu's head, looking at the fainting girl with a speechless face.

"It's too intimidating......"

Lin Zhongtian pursed his lips, no longer suppressing the passing speed of the gray mist.

In an instant, a steady stream of gray mist escaped from the gray ball, and under the conscious control of Lin Zhongtian, it started from the brain and flowed along the veins and blood vessels in the body to the limbs.

As Lin Zhongtian stood up, the bruises on his face gradually subsided, and the broken nasal bone repaired automatically.

Soon, the damage that Li Erhu brought to this body disappeared completely, although there were still some dried blood stains hanging on his face, but it didn't look as terrifying as before.

Not only that, but the face of this body has also changed drastically.

The facial features, including the nose, eyes, and mouth, have been slightly adjusted to become more three-dimensional and handsome, and the original black and yellow teeth have quickly loosened and detached, and a mouthful of white teeth has regrown.

In addition, his body has become more erect and his muscles have become fuller.

After wiping away the blood hanging from his face, a tall young man who looked to be about twenty years old appeared in front of everyone, and Fu Youzhi's shadow could be vaguely seen in his facial features, but he had completely become another person.

"Is this what a human body feels like?"

Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but stretch, his handsome face was full of joy and smiles.
