Chapter 71: Behemoth

The noon ghost forest undulates in the sun. The most famous primeval forest at the junction of the three cities, Mu Xiao did not understand its danger, which also made him a little passive on this trip.

Despite the clear sky and the blazing sun, the forest was still dark and cool, and there was even damp fog and dew in some places. The rustling sound of the surrounding wind-blown leaves can also make people's hearts tighten when they look around and slip on the rotten leaves. Maybe the lesson of the ghost hand vine before, the three of them always care about the movement under the fallen leaves.

Lu Meng frowned sadly along the way, holding the handle of the knife with his right hand, and his thumb kept rubbing on the round ball at the end of the tail. After all, this time I entered the forest without reporting in advance, not to mention that I couldn't catch anyone and criminals, and I also lost nearly 20 border city soldiers in vain, so I am afraid that it is inevitable to return to the barracks this time and be severely punished.

"Brother Lu, what kind of prisoner wants to send border city soldiers to chase him?" asked the black dragon who was walking behind him.

Lu Meng's hand left the hilt, and his face sank and said, "Ghost Dragon Prisoner"

"Youlong?" Mu Xiao interjected in confusion.

"Yes, in the past year, the Youlong Empire and the border city adjacent to the Tongyou City have built a lot of fortifications, Tongyou is sparsely populated, and a lot of manpower is necessary to build the fortifications, and the lack of manpower has become their biggest obstacle. Lu Meng sighed slightly.

Crunch

The black dragon stepped on a dry branch, kicked it away, and said, "Could it be that they still come to Qingyang to catch strong men?"

"They want to blatantly arrest and do it, but the hateful thing is that some people in our Qingyang Empire are secretly colluding with them and doing the business of buying heads. ”

Lu Meng was quite helpless, Youlong and Qingyang had been safe and sound for more than ten years. There are not too many restrictions on the exchange between the two countries, which gives the Dragon Empire an opportunity for those who have a heart to take advantage of it.

"We have been strictly checking the past checkpoints in the border city in the past few months, but we have not found anything abnormal, but the number of missing people in the border city is increasing day by day. Lu Meng's tone became resentful.

Mu Xiao and the black dragon looked at each other and said, "Since you saw it, why don't you stop it?"

"We have entered the Ghost Dragon Realm, we can't pursue it, and if we don't do it, it will cause the two countries to fight. ”

What Lu Meng said is not unreasonable, the soldier entering the territory of another country is an invasion, and the only way is to arrest the prisoner within the territory of Qingyang, and it is up to him to decide how to deal with it. But entering the Youlong Realm to arrest people, it is indefensible.

"Then have you found out who is colluding with Youlong on Qingyang's side?"

Mu Xiao's heart sank, it seems that those people in Lidu who have not returned for several months may have also been trafficked to Youlong, and it may be difficult to come back.

"No, yesterday we were patrolling at the edge of the forest, only to find that Tie Hao, the son of a rich family, and a woman, were leading more than ten people to enter Youlong from the path on the edge of the forest. ”

Lu Meng gritted his teeth, and now thought that he might have entered a trap. I don't know, if there are Tie Hao and their helpers on the outer edge of the forest, if there is, I am afraid that the five subordinates guarding outside are estimated to be more than lucky.

"Ah......h

As we walked, we were talking about it when an exclamation suddenly came, it was a woman's voice, and the voice became farther and farther away and then disappeared.

When Lu Meng heard this, his body shook a few meters and took a few steps back. Mu Xiao followed, and in front of him was a hollow covered by leaves, and the pitch-black void was bottomless.

"Damn, it's a black hole. Lu Meng was so frightened that he was sweating and almost fell in.

Smack

The three of them were bending down at the entrance of the cave to investigate, but suddenly there was a tingling sound from inside the cave, which was similar to the sound of a bird flapping its wings. A few moments later, a black thing suddenly erupted from the cave, and the three of them fell backwards at the same time, and the black bat on their heads was scurrying around. There are also a large number of bats constantly pouring out of the black hole.

"Someone must have just fallen in and scared the bat, this should be a bat cave. The black dragon said as he looked at the bats flying above his head.

Although the bats flying here have no intention of hurting people, the sheer number of them does make them fearful.

"This woman appeared here, and it is estimated that Tie Hao should be around here. Everyone be careful, he is a sword venerable powerhouse. Lu Meng looked at the black dragon as he spoke, and the woman who fell into the black hole should be the one who came in with Tie Hao.

"Hey, don't look down on people! I'm also a real swordsman, besides, you two sword venerables can't do one Tie Hao?"

At this time, the bats that flew out had slowly flown away, and the black hole did not fly out a few from time to time, and the people who fell were not saved.

At the same time, a hundred meters away from the three of them, a shivering man in white sat on his back under a big tree, his hands supporting the ground and struggling to move back, his eyes looking ahead in horror.

A few meters in front of him, a beast that looked like a lion but was not a lion, was grinning at the man with a pale face.

Roar......

A beast roar roared in the woods, and Mu Xiao and the three of them went away together, and when they saw the scene in front of them, several people were dumbfounded.

In front of him was a head four or five meters long, huge in size, larger than two or three cows combined, and its gray fur blended in with its surroundings.

The two dark antennae on the basket-sized head are shiny and shiny, the bowl-sized eyes seem to be equipped with two small lanterns, and the mouth is shaking a person vigorously, no different from an old dog playing with a mouse.

"Lion Bear"

"Bear, Lion?"

The black dragon and Lu Meng exclaimed at the same time, Mu Xiao frowned at this time, the bear and lion beast in front of him was a rumored thing, how could it appear here?

This kind of lion beast is a spiritual demon beast, but it is also the most ferocious and violent existence, different from ordinary beasts, it has a talent for cultivation, especially when its territory is invaded, it will fight to the end with the enemy, since it has spiritual wisdom, let's salute first and then soldier, Mu Xiao thought.

The man in white in its mouth was already weak, and Lu Meng pointed at him and whispered, "Tie Hao?"

"Is that the person you want to arrest?" Mu Xiao wondered.

Seeing Tie Hao dying in the mouth of the bear lion beast, Lu Meng sneered: "It's really self-inflicted, he just met the bear lion beast here, and he was unlucky." ”

However, at this time, Mu Xiao strode forward and walked towards the angry Bear Lion Beast. The black dragon behind him was very shocked when Lu Meng saw this, and it was too late to stop it, and at this time, the bear lion beast was turning its head towards Mu Xiao who suddenly appeared.

The blood-red bear lion beast, with Tie Hao in its mouth, stopped shaking, and looked at Mu Xiao who was slowly walking towards it in a daze.

Tick

Blood from its mouth dripped down its fangs and fell to the ground, and Tie Hao's body was now hanging down to death. The huge eyes of the bear lion beast stared at Mu Xiao, and his figure was reflected in his eyes.

The carefree sword in Mu Xiao's hand was slowly put back into the scabbard, seeing this scene, the black dragon and Lu Meng were terrified at the same time, in the face of this behemoth, he didn't even use weapons?

With Mu Xiao's action, the bear, lion beast exploded, and its upper lip suddenly opened and let out a low roar.

Burst!

Tie Hao in the mouth of the bear lion beast fell to the ground, and its body sank slightly to prepare for a fight. The low roar voice reached the ears of several people, and Lu Meng looked at the dead Tie Hao on the ground in shock, his face full of disbelief. Tie Hao, as one of the few Sword Venerable powerhouses in Tongyou City, actually died in the mouth of the Bear Lion Beast, thinking about how terrifying the strength of the Bear Lion Beast was.

"Mu Xiao!" the black dragon shouted in panic behind him, only to see Mu Xiao stop and then raise his hand to signal not to move.

Roar...... ,

The Bear Lion Beast suddenly roared, as fast as lightning and pounced on Mu Xiao. It seems to be a bulky body, but it is light and flexible to move, which is also something Mu Xiao did not expect. Seeing that the behemoth suddenly arrived in front of him from a few meters away, he was shocked and at the same time, the Taicang True Qi in his body suddenly erupted, and a golden light swept past it from above the Bear Lion Beast.

As soon as Mu Xiao landed behind it, the bear lion beast turned around and swept across, and all of a sudden the grass and trees on the ground were broken and shed. This speed made everyone stunned, and Mu Xiao retreated a few meters at the same time, the male lion beast opened its mouth and let out an angry roar.

Roar......

An angry roar shook the woods, Lu Meng and the black dragon covered their ears at the same time, and the branches in front of Mu Xiao made a rustling sound, and the leaves fell in pieces. The piercing sound was like a sharp needle pricking the eardrum, and the big hand quickly made a mark on the chest. An enchantment flashed within a half-meter radius around it, and although it was short, it was enough to resist the terrible sound of the Bear Lion Beast.

When the barrier appeared, the lionmon jumped again, opening its mouth to bite the barrier.

"Damn!" Mu Xiao scolded at the same time, and his figure flashed to the side and retreated. The bear, lion, and beast saw that it was in the air, like a thigh-thick tail that swept hard.

Boom!

Mu Xiao was unexpected, he was smashed in the abdomen by the tail, and fell hard when he flew out of the room, and his internal organs churned.

"Mu Xiao!"

"Brother Mu!"

Seeing this, Hei Long and Lu Meng couldn't care so much. The black dragon shot out several flying knives, and the bear, lion and beast violently, and the head of the basket size suddenly turned.

Bite...... Da Da ......

The black dragon flying knife was like a shot of copper and iron, and all of it fell to the ground, not even the fur of the bear, lion beast, and it didn't hurt the fur of the beast in the slightest. The huge body jumped and turned around again, running in the direction of the black dragon and Lu Meng, and the trees shook the moment they landed.

Lu Meng held a big sword in his hand but didn't know how to start, although he had the strength of a pseudo-sword venerable, but in the face of this big but not stupid guy in front of him, he was weak at the moment.

"Black Dragon, stand back and I'll come. Lu Meng stiffened, threw the black dragon behind him, and raised his big knife to slash off the head of the menacing Bear Lion Beast.

When! roar......

The big knife was hit, and the bear lion beast was still undamaged, but Lu Meng was no longer in place at this time, and with the roar of the bear and lion beast, he flew out upside down from the black dragon's head.

"Ah" The next moment, Lu Meng screamed and fell into the bushes, his hands and feet facing the sky in an extremely funny posture. I struggled for a while to stand up, and there was a hot feeling coming from the scraped place behind my back.

And at this time, the most dangerous thing was the black dragon, and the bear lion beast was walking towards him step by step, and each step made the black dragon tremble. The flying knife can't hurt it, and it can't run, so it can only move backwards step by step.

"Black Dragon!" Mu Xiao was very anxious when he saw this scene, and Taicang Zhenqi burst into flames and swept to the side of the black dragon in an instant, grabbed his arm and threw it to the side, and was about to blast at the bear, lion and beast with one palm.

However, Mu Xiao didn't blast out a palm, but the bear lion beast was crooked, and it fell to the side, stirring up a leaf. The huge body lay sideways in the woods, still looking so terrifying, and the corners of its mouth kept flowing white foam.

The three of them gathered around the bear lion beast at the same time, although it fell, Mu Xiao and they didn't dare to be careless, and approached cautiously. The lion beast, which was still opening its eyes and exhaling, saw the three of them come forward, its body struggling, but it still couldn't get up.

"Is this poisoned?" Mu Xiao said solemnly, frowning.

Is this providence? Black Dragon and Lu Meng were stunned!
