Chapter 22: The Shadow Leopard
Roar!
Just after Zitong screamed, a few more threatening roars suddenly came to mind nearby. Zitong hurriedly shrank his neck, only then did he realize that he was in the core area of Python Mountain, and immediately dodged, that is, he hid in the shadow of a big tree, and observed it with bated breath for a while, and found that there was no demon beast coming, and patted his chest.
"I'm scared to death! I can't be so reckless in the future!" Zitong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zitong, who had lifted his guard, looked around the environment and found that the area he was in was obviously too quiet, while in other parts of the forest farther away from him, there were a few roars or wails from time to time.
That's what the forest should be like at night, and here, it's too abnormal.
In fact, Zitong at this time was thinking too much. The reason why it's so quiet here is not because of other circumstances, it's clearly himself!
When the previous thunderclouds came, it was the silence of the beasts, and when the three thunderbolts continued to slash in the sky, the demon beasts were originally in awe of this kind of punishment of heaven and earth, especially zuihou, that momentum with the might of heaven and earth, and the luck of these demon beasts had already disappeared.
Therefore, when Zitong was carrying out the eighth "molting", that is, the moment when the clouds dissipated, all those who could move were away from this area for the first time, and those who could not move temporarily slowly recovered their abilities during the time when Zitong molted, gave up fighting with each other, and left instantly.
Even when leaving, the eyes of each demon beast flashed with deep jealousy, believing that they had already listed this place as a forbidden area in their hearts, and they couldn't wait!
It is also because of this that this place is very weird, quiet and terrifying. With doubts, Zitong looked at the sky, the sky where the clouds receded, restored to its former depth, and the bright moon was also hanging leisurely, nothing suspicious.
"Look at this situation, it's still a long time before dawn!" Zitong thought to himself. So, he climbed directly into the most luxuriant branches and leaves of the tree, and rested temporarily.
Although this tree cannot be compared with the giant trees in the cave at all, it is also the core area of the Mangshan Forest, and the age of the tree for hundreds of years is not a problem, so this branch and leaf is also a hidden place to shelter.
Obviously, after a long journey during this period of time, the teams sent by various sects to investigate, or the hunters with various thoughts, and the people and horses of various families, all seemed to discuss haode, and they came to the vicinity of Mangshan one after another.
When these people were observing each other, the atmosphere was a little weird. It stands to reason that among these people, at least there are sects and families that are friendly with each other or even alliances, and they should always say hello to each other. But the truth is so weird, none of the people present spoke.
With the scattered moonlight, it is understandable to take a closer look. First of all, the cultivation of the people who came to investigate was not very high, and the cultivation of the peak of the great martial artist had already been capped, not that there were no masters in various sects and families, the key was that they also understood that after their own people rushed over, everything would definitely be over, even if they were masters of the Zen realm, they were powerless to return to the sky, so the people they sent were just to find out some cause and effect, after all, even if they couldn't get it, they had to know what happened.
Secondly, there is the clothing of the visitors. It's as if it was made in advance, and the people who come are all in black night suits, which is not easy to see in the distance in the night when there is only moonlight, except for the spiritual sense of the martial artist who is strong in the sense of consciousness, it is not easy to see the figure in the distance, let alone find someone who is familiar with him.
zuihou is the problem of handing over haode, there must be various connections between the various sects and families, and there are inevitably people who become friends with each other, and these people, the familiarity can also be roughly seen by the body shape is to be able to recognize, but in the same way, there is no right to speak without strength, these division-level warriors who were sent, in various sect families, must not have much full strength, and Jiaohaode is often a high-level in the sect, so the chance of getting acquainted with each other is even more minimal.
As a result of various reasons, it is the current scene, looking at each other, knowing the purpose of the other party's coming, but no one speaks. After a stalemate like this for a while, someone finally couldn't stand this atmosphere, and the internal force worked, and his body was light, and he left abruptly.
With the first person taking the lead, the others also urged the light work one after another and left here. When most of the centaurs disappeared, there were five figures that did not move.
"Brother, what are we going to do next?" a very soft female voice sounded.
"Yes, Captain, looking at the way I looked just now, it seems that every shili has been mixed in, and we don't have much chance!" asked a voice with an urn voice.
The man called the captain slowly took off the hat on his head to cover his face, revealing a resolute face, and with his action, the others also took off their hats, but the slightly petite figure did not move, and the others did not react to this in the slightest, as if they knew that she would be like this.
"We are not in a hurry, the vision has disappeared for a while, even if there is a treasure that is either obtained by others, or hidden again, we go now, and we will not find anything, I think, we will rest around tonight, tomorrow it is dawn, we will go into the mountain again. Everyone has been on the road for so long, and they are a little tired, take care of your spirits, and go into the mountains tomorrow to hunt for treasures!" After speaking, regardless of everyone's reaction, he swept directly towards a clearing not far away.
The others did not object, nodded their heads one after another, and followed.
Obviously, this group of teams came to be born with a strange treasure, and they were faintly afraid of their captain.
Nothing was said all night.
When the softest doubts of the morning sunlight penetrated the layers of obstruction and came to the forest floor, the child boy on the big tree also slowly opened his eyes, and last night, although he did not really sleep, it was the most comfortable night he had in several years.
The child who was full of energy turned over and jumped off the tree. Slightly mobilized some internal force, dried the dew on his body, stretched his body, and flew towards the east.
Zitong remembered that there was a not very big lake in the east of Python Mountain, and not many people knew about it, so he chased a water snake again, and chased it there, only to find that there was actually a lake there, and the lake water was very clear.
The purpose of the child is self-evident, that is, to take a bath!!
Thinking of taking a bath, Zitong suddenly felt itching all over his body, which is no wonder, after all, he has been nesting in the cave for several years, and if that saliva is counted as a bath, it will be more than two years without water. Even if there is no itch on the body, the psychological effect of the child is that the body is very dirty.
The more I think about it, the more itchy I feel, and the more itchy I get, the more I want to take a shower quickly. So, he kept speeding up, to Zuihou, and even rushed towards the lake.
After a period of rapid shuttle, the lake in the distance finally looked at it.
Seeing the lake, Zitong's eyes shine as if he saw the scene of a beautiful woman bathing. The body that was still in the air, quickly took off the package and clothes with both hands, threw it aside, and plunged into the lake with the ball that had not yet woken up, and was silent.
Wow!
After a while, a wet head emerged from the water, "Refreshing!" exclaimed Zitong. While rubbing his body, he rubbed the ball a few times, and as soon as he moved, he was sent to the shore.
And Zitong, who had been in the water alone for half an hour, finally felt that his body was no longer itchy, so he reluctantly came to the shore, and after throwing his clothes back and forth in the water a few times, he immediately put them on his body. After all, this is not really a proper clothing material, and it can be worn if it is shaken.
At the moment when Zitong was taking a bath, five figures also appeared on the periphery of the eastern part of Python Mountain, and other people and horses were constantly searching for Python Mountain, trying to find the place where the incident occurred.
As time slowly passed, someone finally came to the core area, the former thunderstorm range. This person who just arrived here,It's obvious that there's a difference here.,During the day,Although the activity of some monsters has decreased.,But in the early morning of the early sun,Insects and birds will still be more or less there.,But here it's weird.,Just walked in here.,He felt like he had suddenly come to another shijie.,Quiet and terrible.。
Just when he was hesitating, there were finally others who discovered the strangeness here, and they flew here one after another, and there were more and more people, as if those demon beasts on the periphery did not work for them at all.
"Ah, there's a hole here!" with an exclamation, everyone shot towards the source of the sound.
After going down, everyone was stunned to look at everything in front of them, and someone also found the corpse of the giant python in the cave, and saw the tragic appearance of the giant python being burned, and slowly, an idea came to everyone's mind.
"It turned out to be a demon beast that survived the thousand-year tribulation!" Everyone looked at each other, and they all saw the answer in each other's eyes. So, this group hurriedly checked again, and there was already an answer, and it was a completely reasonable answer, and other things were just easy to check.
Zuihou, this group of people quickly returned to each house and fed back the conclusions they had reached to their superiors. And the matter of the vision from heaven is over.
The child by the lake looked at himself on the lake, only to realize that he was no longer what he was before, and his full beard showed that he had stepped into adulthood, but he did not hang up his beard, after all, in his opinion, it was unlikely to see people in this forest.
"Huh?" Zitong, who was looking in the mirror, suddenly felt a chill on his back, "Not good!"
Immediately flew back, and the moment he left, a sharp claw swept across. Zitong, who turned around, looked at it and exclaimed:
"Shadow Leopard!"
(It's been a bit a lot late, and the update is a little late, sorry, forgive me!)
