Chapter 14: The Cat Demon
The tour of the Seven Kingdoms of Qingyangjiang took nearly four months, and it was the winter when the snow began to fall, and now it is the middle of spring when I return.
The lower court of Wanbao Sect began to recruit new disciples again, because the second sister insisted on martial arts, but Bai Ye did not introduce her to participate in this test.
With a new disciple moving in, Bai Ye is obviously not suitable to go back to the lower courtyard.
This time he returned to the mountain, he had to find a suitable place to live and practice in his daily life.
However, before deciding on a place to live, he was going to take a trip to the mountain behind the sect first.
When he was accidentally involved in the battle between Elder Xuanzhen and that strange skeleton, although it was a dangerous and dangerous situation, the reward given by Elder Xuanzhen was very generous.
The effect of the divine power crystallization to increase the speed of cultivation was already deeply experienced by Bai Ye in his subsequent practice.
The mana in the Zhihai Dantian can grow so fast, it is close to consummation, and most of it is the effect of the crystallization of that divine power.
Therefore, Bai Ye was looking forward to the token effect given by Elder Xuanzhen more and more.
The Wanbao Sect monopolizes the entire Wanbao Mountain Range, stretching for thousands of miles from east to west, and hundreds of miles deep from north to south.
The mountains behind the sect are hundreds of miles deep into the mountains, all of which are deep mountains and old forests. Bai Ye was also the first time to go deeper, but he regretted it a little when he got here.
The deep mountains and old forests are inaccessible, and there is not even a path.
Especially now in the middle of spring, when the vegetation is at its most luxuriant. There were thorns and trees everywhere, and Bai Ye didn't even know how to put his feet.
Suddenly, Bai Ye's raised foot stopped in mid-air and did not fall, his eyes stared ahead, his pupils shrunk, and he held his breath.
In front of him, there was a dark green vine hanging between two trees, Bai Ye didn't care, but when he got closer, he found that there was a long snake wrapped around the dark green vine, which was the same color as the vine, and it was difficult to find it if he didn't pay attention to it.
What was especially terrifying was that the White Night's spiritual sense did not react to this green snake. This snake is able to hide from the detection of the psychics!
Carefully, Hakuya retracted his outstretched legs, ready to go around.
"Shhh
Bai Ye suddenly stopped moving, and his heart flashed, thinking of a way to get out.
Suddenly, the green snake opened its mouth violently in the direction ......of the white night, showing its fangs, as if it was demonstrating.
Bai Ye's heart jumped suddenly, and he pinched the trick in his hand, and the Xuanguang shield was immediately activated and protected in front of him.
However, Bai Ye's actions obviously directly angered the green snake, and it suddenly jumped up, as if a green lightning bolt rushed straight in, opening its mouth and biting on the Xuanguang shield in front of Bai Ye.
"Zi!" There was a soft sound, the strength of the green snake was not great, but the fangs were very terrifying, biting on the Xuanguang Shield, and actually directly biting the Xuanguang Shield!
Bai Ye's eyes opened violently, and his body immediately retreated rapidly, and the phantom sky turned into several phantoms and rushed to all directions.
Fortunately, the green snake had no intention of pursuing.
And after Bai Ye retreated a distance, he had to stop, and the vines spreading everywhere, the thorns that were growing everywhere, and the lush and messy branches, made him have little room for movement at all.
In fact, he had barely taken a few steps backwards when he had to stretch out his legs and kick on a large dense tree to change direction.
"Bang, bang, bang......" There was a muffled sound, and the big tree immediately shook violently.
"Gah!" A sharp birdsong came from the top of the tree, and the next moment, a fierce bird with a sharp beak and sharp claws covered in gray feathers suddenly flew down, its sharp claws flashing with cold light, and it grabbed straight towards the white night!
At this moment, Bai Ye almost wanted to scold his mother, but he was helpless, so he could only gather the Xuanguang shield again and face the sharp claws of the fierce birds caught by the flying birds.
......There was a tearing sound, and the fierce claws of the fierce bird directly tore a few cracks on the Xuanguang shield, but it finally did not completely tear through the defense.
White Night took the opportunity to fly back again, escaping from the pursuit of the ferocious birds.
Stumbling all the way, Bai Ye went deep into the old forest of the back mountain, although there was the mark of 'Ten Thousand Treasure Sect', there was no danger, but all kinds of embarrassment were inevitable.
"I'm so crazy, I have nothing to do here to suffer for a token that I don't know what to do!"
Bai Ye looked at the tattered clothes on his body and a few shallow scars, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"What is the use of this token?" he took out the token given by Elder Xuanzhen from his bosom and looked at it repeatedly in his hand, but found nothing.
He used his spiritual consciousness to refine, input mana, and even drip blood, but the token did not respond.
They were even a little skeptical of Elder Luo's words.
"Could it be that I haven't gone deep enough into the mountains?" a frown, White Night tucked the token into his arms and looked up.
There is a mountain in front of you, and if you want to go deeper into the mountain, you have to climb over the mountain in front of you.
The peak of that mountain is more than 100 zhang high, and the so-called mountain is high and hides fierce beasts, and the mountain peak in front of it must be more dangerous.
If it weren't for the fact that this was the Wanbao Mountain Range, and Bai Ye had a safety guarantee, he would never have gone deep into such a deep mountain and old forest when his cultivation was still low.
You must know that this is not the earth, but a world where you can practice, not only people can practice, but beasts and birds can also practice to become demons.
In such a deep mountain and old forest, there will inevitably be monsters, and the cultivation is not enough, but it is just to send blood food to those monsters.
Although there were some complaints in his heart, Bai Ye would not give up just like that. He took a deep breath, tidied up a bit, and set off again, heading for the mountain in front of him.
The mountain peaks are steep, the grass is deep and the forests are dense, and there are no roads, and it is often necessary to rely on trees and vines to climb up the rock in the white night, and from time to time it is attacked and harassed by various snakes, insects, rats, ants, birds and animals.
By the time the white night finally reached the top of the mountain, it was already sunset in the west and twilight.
He stood on the mountain peak, looking at the sunset in the west sky and the sunset like fire, which was also magnificent.
But then, he showed a bitter face, and it seemed that it was about to get dark, and it seemed that he had to spend the night in the deep mountains and forests tonight.
At this time, from all directions, there were more and more beast roars and bird songs, more and more, more and more fierce and terrifying.
Generally speaking, most of the fierce birds and beasts are active during the day and rest at night.
But here is different, once the fierce birds and beasts open their spiritual wisdom and cultivate into demons, the moonlight in the night is their cultivation resources that they cannot give up.
Legend has it that the moon flower contains a rare emperor slurry, which is an excellent divine object that can improve the wisdom and qualifications of demon cultivators, and has a fatal temptation to the demon clan.
Unlike humans, the demon clan can sense the essence of the moon after opening the spiritual intelligence, and can absorb and refine the moon cultivation.
Unlike human cultivators, when they were at the lower level, they couldn't sense the Sun and Moon Essence at all, let alone absorb and refine it. Occasional gains are all due to chance.
Therefore, every time night falls and the bright moon rises, it is the time when those demon clans who have opened their spiritual wisdom are carnival. They will be more active and ferocious than during the day.
Suddenly, there was a birdsong in the air, and then a gust of wind swept in.
Suddenly looking up, I saw a big cyan bird with a wingspan of nearly a foot in the night, swept by the wind. Bai Ye was shocked, and hurriedly dodged with his feet in the phantom empty step.
The big cyan bird flew to the mountain peak, and did not pay attention to the white night that was hiding on the side, but stood on the top of a large tree with its wings folded, looking up at the sky, as if waiting for something.
"Roar ......" Suddenly, another tiger roar sounded behind him, like a thunderbolt!
Bai Ye's hair trembled instantly, his pupils constricted, and his body reacted faster than his thoughts, and he jumped forward violently, rushing straight to the edge of the mountain peak and cliff before he stopped.
Sensing that the tiger behind him did not catch up, Bai Yefang breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look.
I saw a white-fronted giant tiger with hanging eyes flicking the tail of a tiger like a steel whip, walking to a boulder on the peak, jumping on the boulder, lying on the stone, and looking at the sky.
"Hiss, hiss......" There was another sound of a snake hissing from the side, and Bai Ye turned his head to see a gray python coiled on the trunk of the tree, raising its head to the sky.
Subsequently, several fierce birds and beasts climbed the mountain peak one after another, each entrenched in one side, raising their heads to the sky.
Bai Ye's heart flashed with inspiration, and he suddenly understood that these fierce birds and beasts were all monsters with enlightened intelligence.
At this time, climbing to the peak, it is obvious that they are waiting for the bright moon to rise in the east and absorb the moonlight!
In the deep mountains and old forests, is there a more suitable place to absorb the cultivation of the moon than the top of the mountain?
Suddenly, Bai Ye smiled bitterly, he shouldn't have climbed the mountain peak at night.
At night, the top of the mountain peak is obviously the best training ground for demon beasts!
He has fallen into the monster's den at this moment.
Bai Ye avoided those demon beasts far away, and stood on a flying stone on the edge of the cliff at the top of the peak.
"It seems that when you walk outside in the future, you should try to avoid climbing the peak at night!" Bai Ye secretly woke up in his heart.
Fortunately, this is the Wanbao Mountain Range, and he has the mark of the Wanbao Sect on his body, and those monsters basically turn a blind eye to him and have no intention of attacking him.
"Meow!" Suddenly a cat meow came from below, Bai Ye looked down, and couldn't help but be stunned, "Cat?"
I saw that on the flying stone under his feet, there was an extra kitten at some point, about a foot in size, and its whole body was pitch black, only the four paws, the tips of both ears, and the tips of the tail were a little white.
At this time, the kitten was looking up at him, and a pair of cat's eyes were big, round, and clear, and the white night seemed to see his own reflection in them.
"In this deep mountain and old forest, how can there be a cat in the place where monsters gather?"
Bai Ye was puzzled, and then reacted, this is a cat demon!
"This flying rock I'm standing on is its territory!"
Bai Ye's mind raced, wondering if he should get out of the way.
The kitten suddenly lowered its head and walked around the white night, and stretched out its head to sniff at his legs and feet.
"Meow!" another cat meowed, and then before Bai Ye made a decision, the kitten suddenly jumped up and jumped directly onto Bai Ye's shoulder.
"Alas......" Bai Ye was startled, and he stretched out his hand to drive it down.
Although he liked to raise cats in his previous life, he was half a shovel official, but this is not an ordinary cat, but a cat demon!
However, as soon as he reached out to drive the cat down, he was surprised to find that the kitten was standing on his shoulder, and his little paw grabbed forward, and actually grabbed the token in his arms.
Seeing this, Bai Ye's heart moved, and the hand that was supposed to drive away couldn't help but stop.
He never understood the use of this token given by Elder Xuanzhen, and at this time, this cat demon actually took the initiative to catch the token. Maybe this is his chance to understand the usefulness of the token, so he might as well wait and see.
Anyway, with the mark of the Ten Thousand Treasure Sect on his body, this cat demon will not harm him.
I saw that the little claws of the cat demon were as flexible as human hands, and he turned the token over and over on his paws to look at it, sniffed it with his nose, and then stretched out his tongue and licked it, as if to confirm something.
"Meow!" After a while, as if confirmed, the kitten whispered softly.
Immediately, under Bai Ye's surprised gaze, the kitten actually reached out with its sharp claws, cut through its flippers, and forced out a drop of crimson blood to drip on the token.
The token absorbed the blood, and the next moment it flew abruptly, suspended in mid-air, burning with golden flames.
