Chapter 13: Spirit Pet Shadow Tiger
Early the next morning, Si Yi locked the courtyard door and walked towards the Qingyun Mountain Range with the package on his back.
The scenery in the Qingyun Mountains is still so beautiful, as if it has not changed for thousands of years. But Si Yi clearly knew that there was a mortal danger hidden under this deadly beauty. So after entering the mountain range, Si Yi hid his figure and walked inside cautiously.
As he walked, Si Yi suddenly heard a shout from in front of him.
"Fat Lin, you are going to die today. โ
Hearing this, Si Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes, why did he shout so loudly? There are dangers everywhere in this Qingyun Mountain Range, and if you are not careful, you will be buried here, generally speaking, people who enter the Qingyun Mountain Range are quiet and cautious, but this person does the opposite, either really confident or really stupid.
"Go check it out. Si Yi turned around and touched in the direction where the voice came from.
In a glade, a cute fat man was being tightly surrounded by a group of people. After Si Yi arrived, he found that there were already many people hiding around, and everyone seemed to be attracted by the shouting, but they didn't come forward recklessly, but found a hidden position to watch the play quietly. Si Yi was no exception, he found an ancient tree on the periphery and hid it, watching the situation develop in the middle.
Even though he was surrounded by more than a dozen people, the fat man was still unhurried, and even had a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Outside, a middle-aged man with a big knife stepped forward, pointed at the fat man and said, "Fat Lin, you go back with us today, we are not to blame for what happened just now, otherwise your fat body will be explained here today." โ
The fat man pretended to be scared and shrunk his neck, and said, "Don't scare me so much, my lord, people are so scared." Hearing the fat man's words, the people around him laughed one after another.
The middle-aged man's face was a little unbearable, and he said fiercely: "Dead fatty, don't toast and don't eat and drink." โ
The fat man's face was gloomy, although he was indeed fat, but what he hated the most was that others called him fat, and the middle-aged man was already challenging his limit. The fat man restrained his smile, narrowed his eyes and said: "Yuan Hai, just now I was giving you face, and you still kicked your nose in the face?" Lao Tzu is standing here today, do you dare to touch me to try? There are so many people around, if you dare to touch me, I will tell this secret and share it with everyone." โ
"You... Yuan Hai glanced around vigilantly, at this time, he had already regretted what he had just said.
Hearing that there was a secret, Si Yi's eyes lit up, talking about secrets in this Qingyun Mountain Range, of course it was the whereabouts of all kinds of treasures, but I don't know what the secret that the fat man and the middle-aged man said. There were already people around who couldn't help but shout: "Say it and let everyone listen." โ
Yuan Hai's face darkened, and he stared fiercely in the direction of the sound, but the people around him were hiding very well, and for a while, Yuan Hai really couldn't find out who the person who spoke was. When the fat man heard this, he laughed again. "Yuanhai, do you hear that? Everyone wants to know. โ
"What do you want to do?"
The fat man smiled and said, "I just want to get out of here." โ
"No way. Yuan Hai decisively refused: "You can't leave until this matter is resolved." โ
The fat man spread his hands helplessly and said, "Then there is no way, then we will spend it here, but that shadow tiger..."
"Shut up. Yuan Hai hurriedly stopped the fat man, not daring to let him say more.
"Shadow Tiger, won't it?" Si Yi touched his forehead and said helplessly: "Is this considered eating melons and eating on your own head?" Although there is no evidence, Si Yi still boldly guessed that the Shadow Tiger in the fat man's mouth should be the one he saw last time. However, Si Yi did not act rashly, but patiently continued to read, wanting to see if the fat man would say more information.
"Again, let me go, and I promise not to tell this secret without being threatened. The fat man said casually.
Yuan Hai was a little hesitant, he wouldn't believe the fat man's words, if he really wanted to let him out, I was afraid that this matter would soon be known to everyone, but as the fat man said, it is not a way to always consume it like this, the sooner the Shadow Tiger starts, the better, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for them.
The fat man smiled lightly, he didn't plan to give Yuan Hai a chance to waste time, as Yuan Hai thought, what both of them lacked most now was time.
"Yuan Hai, I'll give you another ten numbers to think about, within ten numbers, you have to make a decision, if you can't make up your mind within ten numbers, I will also announce it. After speaking, the fat man ignored Yuan Hai's reaction and directly began to count. "One. โ
Yuan Hai's brows furrowed more and more, as if he was experiencing a violent struggle in his heart.
"II. โ
"Three. โ
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
Counting until seven, Yuan Hai still lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, and never made a decision. This time, the fat man also frowned and reminded, "Yuan Hai, you still have three counts to spare." โ
At this time, a person wearing the same clothes as Yuan Hai and the others ran over and whispered a few words in Yuan Hai's ear.
"Really?" asked Yuan Hai in a low voice.
The subordinate who had just run over nodded, "It's true." โ
"Well done. Yuan Hai raised his head with a smile and said to the fat man: "Fat Lin, I will let you go today, I hope you can also remember what you said, and don't kill yourself." Then he left with his men.
Seeing Yuan Hai retreat with people, the fat man looked around and quickly fled.
At the moment when he fled, many people around him got up and chased after him, and some people followed behind Yuan Hai and his party just now, all wanting to see what was going on.
Si Yi suddenly had a bad premonition, and when all the people around him were gone, he revealed his figure and ran straight towards the cliff that Shadow Tiger had jumped off last time.
In the state of Si Yi's full force running the latent step, it took three hours to reach the end. But as soon as he walked on the cliff, Si Yi's heart sank, the cliff was full of bloodstains, and there were a few strands of black hair on the ground, no need to think about it, Si Yi also knew that this should be left by the shadow tiger, it seems that the shadow tiger should have had a conflict with someone here, and was injured. Si Yi walked to the edge of the cliff, the clouds were still rolling, and he could vaguely hear the voice of someone under the cliff.
"Search, that beast jumped off the cliff, it must have been seriously injured so high, it can't escape far, this beast has just been born for a few years, it has this kind of cultivation, and there must be a big treasure in its hole." โ
Hearing this voice, Si Yi breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that these people don't know the truth. He had seen the Shadow Tiger jump off a cliff with his own eyes, how could he be seriously injured?
"Senior Ghost Hand, did you say that little guy's home is on the cliff?" Si Yi suddenly asked on a whim.
"Haha," Ghost Hand laughed, "Why do you have to ask me when you already have the answer in your heart?"
Si Yi smiled, from all kinds of clues, he had indeed deduced that the shadow tiger's lair should not be at the bottom of the cliff, but on the cliff wall, so that everything would be explained.
However, looking at this vertical cliff like a knife, Si Yi was a little melancholy, how should he go down? He didn't have a rope, and even if he did, the top of this cliff was bare, and there was no place to tie a rope.
"Why do you think Shadow Tiger dared to jump so boldly and directly?" asked Ghost Hand suddenly.
"Because I am confident that I will not be thrown to death. Si Yi replied casually, "You mean there's something down there?"
"The response is not slow. Ghost Hand laughed.
Si Yi smiled and said, "I understand." So, Si Yi tried to recall the position and posture of the shadow tiger that day, clenched his fists, and put on a look of being about to be heroic, and said to himself: "Death is death." Then he jumped off.
Ghost Hand couldn't help but laugh and said, "Drama spirit." โ
As soon as he entered the clouds, Si Yi saw a platform at his feet.
Land, bend your knees, roll over, and move in one go.
Standing up, Si Yi found that there was still a pool of blood stains on the platform, which must have been left by the Shadow Tiger when he jumped down, and those people in the valley were confused by the Shadow Tiger, thinking that the Shadow Tiger had jumped off the cliff in a panic, so they searched hard in the valley.
"A bunch of. Si Yi sneered, and then walked cautiously towards the cave. The cave was dark, and the breeze blew from time to time, adding to the gloomy feeling. Si Yi cautiously moved forward, while paying attention to the ground of the cave, because on the way in, he had found a lot of bloodstains, all of which were left by the Shadow Tiger, presumably in the battle with the group of people below, it itself was seriously injured.
"This guy won't die, will he?" Si Yi muttered quietly. As soon as he finished speaking, a corner appeared in front of him, and as soon as Si Yi turned around, a strong smell of blood came to his face. In front of him was a pool, but now the water in it had been dyed blood-red, and the shadow tiger that Si Yi was looking for was lying inside, his eyes closed, as if he was healing.
Si Yi took a step back cautiously, but saw that Shadow Tiger did not react, so he boldly stepped forward again.
"Don't worry, it's bleeding too much, and it's in a coma now. โ
"Oh. Only then did Si Yi put his mind at ease, stood up, and carefully observed the shadow tiger, only to see that its whole body was black, the fur on the top of its head was like satin, and other places were already covered with wounds, some were still bleeding, and more had scabbed, and it seemed to be recovering.
"Ghost Hand Senior, I'm going to change a beast ring. Si Yi said with a smile.
"The kid has an idea, and it's exactly what I want. โ
Looking at the same thing as the bracelet in his hand, Si Yi asked, "This thing is the Imperial Beast Ring, how does this look like an ordinary bracelet sold on the street?"
"This is the Beast Ring, it can be big or small, as long as you throw it towards this Shadow Tiger, if the Shadow Tiger does not resist, the Beast Ring will automatically be put around its neck, and then the Shadow Tiger will become your spirit pet. โ
"Okay. Si Yi threw out the Imperial Beast Ring without hesitation.
The Beast Ring hovered over Shadow Tiger's head for a while, as if it was really testing whether it wanted to resist, and after a few breaths, I felt that Shadow Tiger had no intention of resisting, and the Beast Ring automatically became smaller, and it turned into a glimmer of light on Shadow Tiger's neck and disappeared, and Shadow Tiger also trembled.
"That's okay?"
"That's it. โ
"It's amazing. Si Yi sighed. Then he approached the shadow tiger, gently touched the hair on its head, and said with a smile: "In the future, you will follow me." โ
"It's still uncertain," Ghost Hand smiled: "The function of this beast ring is very simple, it is to force the spirit of the spirit beast to change, so that it will not attack you, and whether it can make it follow you willingly depends on your personal charm, after all, the spirit pet is not a puppet, and the beast ring will not really force it to obey your orders." โ
Touching the hair of the shadow tiger affectionately, Si Yi smiled confidently: "I will definitely let it follow me willingly." โ
Next, Si Yi found another exit from the cave, which was also located in the middle of a cliff, but the location of the exit was easier to jump down than to go up.
"This shadow tiger is really good at finding a place, this kind of habitat, ordinary people really can't find it. โ
Then, Si Yi took the latent shadow and went to the valley to investigate, and there were indeed many people in it, who were searching for the traces of the shadow tiger, but they were destined to return disappointed.
With the help of the ghost hand, Si Yi picked up a few elixirs to stop bleeding, erased the traces on the top of the cliff, and returned to the cave again.
At this time, the sun had already set in the west, but the shadow in the pool was still in a coma, and there was no intention of waking up. Si Yi was not in a hurry, the location here was hidden, and he erased the traces on the top of the cliff, presumably those searching below would not find this place in a short time. Under the guidance of the ghost hand, Si Yi crushed the herbs he picked and applied them to the wound of the shadow tiger, although he was still in a coma, but whenever Si Yi touched the wound, the shadow tiger would still tremble unconsciously, and sometimes let out one or two low roars, and Si Yi was very distressed to see it.
"Hurry up and get better, when you get better, let's kill all the bad guys out there. Si Yi said.
There were many wounds on Shadow Tiger's body, and they were of different depths, but Si Yi didn't fall any of them, and patiently applied herbs to each wound. Then he sat next to him and took out the "Thief Cultivation Manual" and read it.
When the moon was in the middle of the sky, seeing that the shadow tiger had not woken up yet, Si Yi sighed, put away the book, got up and walked outside.
The ghost hand reminded: "Those people outside have masters of the sevenfold and eightfold body refining, and it is simply a fantasy for you to avenge the shadow tiger." โ
"I know, I'm just going to find out. Si Yi smiled: "Is it true that you know yourself and your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles?"
Out of the cave, Si Yi went to the top of the cliff to check again, and after confirming that no one came, he used the shulker step and the breathing technique to touch the valley.
At this moment, in the middle of the valley, a group of people were gathering around the campfire to discuss passionately, while a young man and an old man sat quietly and listened.
"I think it probably ran out a long time ago. A man with a long sword on his back said, "This valley is so big, we have searched for a day, this valley has been searched for a long time, and if it was still in the valley, we should have found it a long time ago." โ
Another man with a hideous scar on his face nodded and said, "I have the same idea as Ye Nan, if that beast was really in the valley, we should have found it a long time ago, but I don't think it ran out, but it didn't fall at all." โ
"No way. Another immediately retorted: "I saw it jump with my own eyes, could it be that it can still fly?"
"I mean, it's possible that it was stopped by something when it jumped, or it grabbed something, so it didn't fall off. โ
At this time, the young man who had been listening spoke, "I think Uncle Liu's idea is very likely, that beast was beaten by us today, if he really fell from such a high place, he would have died and died, but we looked for it for a day today, and we didn't even see a bloodstain, which is not normal." Mo Lao, what do you think?"
Several other people also raised their heads, waiting for Mo Lao to speak. Mo Lao is the oldest and most experienced person here, and everyone is quite convinced by his words.
The old man looked up and said, "Now send someone to get tools from the village, tomorrow we will send someone to take a look along the cliff, in short, we must get the corpse of this shadow tiger." โ
"Yes. The others echoed in unison.
Si Yi in the distance listened to the conversation of several people but felt a little cold, what he could think of, others could naturally think of it, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, it seems that he will leave quickly with the shadow tiger tonight, otherwise it will be difficult to leave if he is found early tomorrow morning.
Si Yi was no longer interested in listening to the next conversation of several people, and turned back to the cave.
