226, ancient beasts

The moon hung in the night sky, Tang Ling and Cheng Biting Jin walked in the sky, and they came to the edge of an old forest twenty miles away from the town. When they stepped on the ground again, the four Daoists who had been waiting for them hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Cheng Yanjin glanced at the old forest in front of him: "Is this the dense forest where demon beasts live?"

Among the four paths, the purple-robed Taoist led by him hurriedly replied: "Back to the ghost ancestor, according to the residents of the village, after the demon beasts raged that day, they were running in this direction, and several of us have explored the surroundings for several days, and also found that the old forest here is the most evil, and it seems to have accumulated for many years, so it is inferred that the forest is the place where the demon beasts live, and there are also many giant beast claw marks left around the forest, so this inference is made." ”

After hearing this, Cheng Yanjin glanced at Tang Ling: "Stinky boy, what do you think?"

Tang Ling was silent, but slowly closed his eyes in the face of Lao Lin, and at the same time, his spiritual sense had stretched out to the forest, and after a few breaths, he opened his eyes again, and said with a little gloomy: "There are indeed demon beasts living in the forest, and there are quite a few of them. ”

"Then there should be an approximation, right?" Cheng Yanjin plucked his ears. A month ago, he fought nearly a thousand Heng clans alone, not only unscathed, but also a little unfinished, and now when he heard that the number of demon beasts in the forest was equal, he unconsciously gave birth to the idea of killing all sides with one enemy.

Tang Ling had already seen Cheng Yanjin's thoughts, and immediately glared at him: "Dead fatty, don't forget the purpose of our arrival this time." ”

"You know, the Creation Sage has the virtue of a good life, so we should focus on exploration and be cautious about killing. Cheng Biting Jin's fighting intent was suppressed, and he was suddenly a little helpless.

The purple-robed Daoist interjected at this time and asked, "Sage, I don't know how many demon beasts are living in it now?"

"This is the weirdness of the old forest in front of you. Tang Ling's face was full of thought, "This old forest is not vast, but if you only talk about the number of demon beasts, it is actually nearly a hundred." ”

Cheng Yanjin immediately heard a key point: "Only about the number of demon beasts?"

Tang Ling's spiritual sense did not retract at this time, but continued to explore in the forest: "Not only demon beasts, but now there are people living in the forest, there are also gods, demons, and immortals, and the other three races of beasts, the total is less than five hundred. And with my spiritual sense, I can't fully confirm their exact location. ”

Hearing this number, several people, including Cheng Yanjin, all showed expressions of disbelief. Cheng Yanjin even asked, "How big is this old forest, and can it accommodate five hundred beasts?"

"I guess there is a space in the forest that includes most of the beasts, so I can't sense their specific location. Tang Ling speculated, "Fortunately, the location of a few beasts is still in my hands, as for the specific situation, I will find out when I go inside." ”

After that, Tang Ling had already taken a step forward and walked straight into the old forest.

Cheng Yanjin had long been accustomed to such self-talking, and turned to the four Daoists and said, "Hurry up and keep up, your Sage Lord is obviously extremely concerned about this beast rebellion, if you can see his methods, it may be of great benefit to your cultivation." Then, he didn't care about the plans of a few Daoists, and followed Tang Ling's footsteps and broke in.

The four Daoists recovered from their momentary astonishment and immediately followed.

Although Cheng Yanjin's tone was not polite, what he said was the truth. Although the four of them cultivated the Tao, they did not reach the peak after all, let alone endure the heavenly calamity and escape from the mortal womb. If you can learn a little bit of insight from Tang Ling, maybe you can really make yourself take a few fewer detours on the path of cultivation. Therefore, although they knew that the forest was dangerous, they followed Tang Ling and Cheng Yanjin almost without the slightest hesitation.

As soon as they entered, the four Daoists already felt the gap between Tang Ling and their own.

Walking in the dense forest, Tang Ling can be said to be a leisurely stroll, and there is not much rhythm in the movements under his feet, but no matter how many people chase after him, he can't shorten the distance between the two sides. And in order not to be left away by Tang Ling, they have almost done their best, and as for assisting in the investigation, they have no time to carry it out.

Despite this, they were not without gains, after all, there were huge claw marks carved into the trees along the way, and some of the century-old trees were even uprooted, as if they were caused by the impact of the huge force. Although Tang Ling's direction seemed random, in fact, he had already gotten traces of demon beasts, so he walked in the old forest so indifferently.

With such cultivation and spiritual knowledge, even if the four Daoists did not know Tang Ling's true identity, it was enough for them to worship the latter.

Tang Ling led a few people to walk forward for a while, and finally stopped.

Cheng Yanjin, who had been chasing after him quickly, came to Tang Ling's side in only a few breaths, and just as he was waiting to find out if he had opened his mouth, Tang Ling had already made a silent gesture to him, and at the same time dodged behind the trees on the side, as if to hide his whereabouts.

After a while, the four Daoists followed.

Seeing that all the staff were here, Tang Ling raised his hand and pointed not far ahead.

A few people looked along the defense line pointed by Tang Ling, only to see a small river flowing through the forest a hundred zhang away, and on a big rock by the river, two giant beasts were nestling up to each other here.

These two giant beasts are indigo all over, both of them are more than two feet long, the head is single-horned, the body is full of scales, and the four fangs on the mouth are turned outward, setting off the bloody mouth even more hideous. And although one of the larger giant beasts was already asleep, as it breathed, the huge beast's body actually exuded a faint green qi, although it was not strong, but under the moonlight, it showed indescribable weirdness.

Cheng Biting Jin and the four Daoists didn't recognize such giant beasts, but Tang Ling was no stranger to them, and he had already whispered his origin: "The Angry Moon Tiger, one of the ancient beasts of the Demon Clan, that larger Angry Moon Tiger has been injured. ”

Cheng Biting Jin's cultivation time was still short, and his knowledge of the Six Realms was not very broad, so he naturally didn't react much, but the faces of the four Daoists turned pale when they heard this name, and the purple-robed Daoist was even more surprised: "Angry Moon Tiger, one of the legendary ancient demon beasts that has been extinct for many years?"

"The Angry Moon Tiger is not extinct, but because the number is extremely scarce, and most of them hide in the depths of the demon world, most of the demon clan have no chance to see the body in their lifetime experience, so there is this rumor, I didn't expect it to appear in the world. Tang Ling stared at the demon beasts by the river, "These two Angry Moon Tigers should be the demon beasts that ravaged the town that day, fortunately, they are not yet adults and their cultivation is insufficient, otherwise the town would have been razed to the ground at that time, and there would be no life." ”

Cheng Yanjin had already held the ghost axe in his hand and said with a smile: "Fortunately, these two animals are not cultivated enough, and it is not difficult to capture them now." ”

"That's true. Tang Ling agreed with Cheng Biting Jin's statement, "Dead fatty, you and I will go and capture these two Angry Moon Tigers, remember, we must not hurt their lives unless we have to." ”

"That's nature. ”

"Roar!"

Just as Tang Ling and Cheng Yanjin were about to make a move, suddenly, a lion's roar came from the upper reaches of the river, shaking the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees and leaves, and also waking up the two angry moon tigers that were already perched. I saw that the smaller Angry Moon Tiger jumped up, and was already on guard in the direction of the lion's roar, and at the same time protected its injured companion behind him.
