Chapter 177: She's Hurt
A group of four people in a canyon is winding up the mountain stream path, dense leaves will narrow the path, squeezed as if there is only one gap, making it difficult for people to walk, leading the high-pitched man in the front, with a double axe to cut the dense leaf forest to both sides, for the three people behind him, followed by the young man holding the bamboo flute in his hand to clean up the remaining stumps, at least can make people move their feet, behind the young man, the girl holds a long sword in one hand, one hand lightly holds the purple clothes, the eyes flow, carefully follow, and the young man who followed the last with a bow and crossbow across his chest, searching around, refresh and vigilantγ
The four figures entered the deepest part of a mountain along the mountain stream path, this is Shen Ling and the others, under the leadership of Ye Dong, they marched to the east of the Xuan Realm, and chose a different direction from other clansmen, Ye Dong is a strong hunter in the clan, and he is naturally experienced and experienced in this regard, and the three little guys can also learn a lot of skills with him.
The more east the Xuan Realm is, the more dangerous it is, but the more mysterious it is, many clansmen will not easily go east as a last resort, but the more dangerous the place, the more rare and exotic beasts can be hunted, especially the more east they go to the top of the mountain.
He looked at the peak in front of him, then put away the sharp axe in his hand and looked at the three people behind him: "The border between the two mountains is ahead, you three have to follow," he said, and took out the spiritual bell from his chest and put it on his waist and continued to move forward.
As we get closer and closer to the mouth, the dense forest becomes, and the towering trees are towering together, stretching out into the distance in the mist, looming, accompanied by a faint cool breeze, which makes people's hearts feel inexplicably tight.
The three of them followed Fuyuko through the layers of wrapping shade, and the atmosphere gave them a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu, and none of them forgot the appearance of the beast that had left them.
Shen Ling often goes out hunting with Ye Dong, for a long time, he knows him very well, where he often goes, he can know a little bit about it every time, and he can guess eight or nine, but this time he is also full of puzzles, Ye Dong changed his usual normal, and took the three of them to choose the wild forest in the east of the Xuan Realm, and went deep into the hinterland bordering the two mountains, how can it not make people feel inexplicably nervous.
Maybe this is the hunting festival, hunting on weekdays is nothing, if you can catch some rare beasts today, then you can only stand out in the hunting festival, which may be the reason why Dongzi took them deep here.
Seeing the thick clouds floating in the valley, Xiao Man, who was following at the end, shouted excitedly: "Wild Winter, do you think we can meet strange beasts?"
Dongzi, who was at the front, did not look back, but still walked forward, and said with a smile: "Who knows, but this place, Yedong is also the first time to go," and then suppressed his smile and said seriously: "What's the matter, be careful in everything." β
Qu Zhen'er was surprised: "Yedong, since we are all going there for the first time, why won't we get lost, if so, we will definitely be punished when we go back." β
Without waiting for Dongzi to reply, Shen Ling also asked, "Why will you encounter demon beasts or something?" β
At the mention of the demon beast, Xiao Man, who was still extremely excited, shuddered, and immediately pinched the bow and crossbow in his hand tighter, since the last time he encountered the beast, he had a frozen dream in his mind, and this time he went to a more dangerous place with Ye Dong, and his heart inevitably became nervous, and he said: "Shen Ling, you, don't scare people, okay." β
Seeing that the three little ghosts were inexplicably nervous, Dongzi paused, turned to look at the three of them, and said with a serious face: "Why are you Xuan people, what are you afraid of, look at you bears." β
Then he said: "Taking advantage of this hunting festival, the wild winter will open your eyes, if you are afraid, it is too late to go back now." β
Listening to his training, the three of them stopped squeaking, and the timidity in their hearts seemed to have been removed a lot.
Seeing that none of the three of them turned around, Dongzi smiled and said with relief: "Don't worry, with my wild winter, nothing will happen, why do we have to make a contribution in the hunting festival." β
After speaking, he shook the psychic bell on his waist, and said loudly: "Besides, what is this, even if Ye Dong can't deal with it, isn't there still it," said with a confident face, turned around and strode away. Only Shen Ling and the three of them were left, you look at me, I looked at you, and finally rushed to follow.
The three of them don't know the danger of this place, but they also know Ye Dong's ability, in terms of cultivation and exercises, the three of them are incomparable, and he still has Ji Shan's grandfather's psychic bell, which is Ji Shan's grandfather's self-cultivation magic weapon, which can not only kill demons and demons, shock away evil spirits, but also transmit thousands of miles, it is one of the rare magic weapons in the clan, with this thing to rely on, coupled with Ye Dong's cultivation, it is to meet the beast last time, and it can also make it afraid of three points, so the three of them no longer think about it, concentrate on vigilance, and follow closely.
It didn't take long for the four of them to skirt the mouth of the valley and head towards the bottom of the canyon, following the dense forest to the deepest part of the two peaks, and when they reached the canyon, the lush vegetation covered everything.
There is still a trace of warm sunshine, but it becomes a little shade as it continues to go deeper, the shallow stream flows downstream, and there are scoured reefs everywhere, naturally scattered, and the canyon is full of steep straight walls on both sides, wrapped in unknown vegetation, some of which are thousands of years old, and there are also rare and exotic grasses, and the shallow stream is misty, like a light veil rising in the air.
The four of them stepped lightly on the stream, walked along the shore, and when they saw that they had entered a dangerous realm, Dongzi took the sharp axe in his hand and told the three: "Be careful. β
Shen Ling and the three of them followed closely, and they also injected a trace of pulse qi into the sharp weapon in their hands.
The further you go, the more complicated the road becomes, and it is narrow and difficult to walk, and after a group of people have traveled forty miles along the shallow stream, the cliffs on both sides become narrower and narrower, and finally they converge together, slowly forming a horned slope upward, and there is no way out, and the cliffs around are beyond sight.
Just as the four of them stopped and were about to discuss, there was a strange movement on the cliff, and at the end of the middle of the end, there was a sudden loud noise, and a beast that looked like a leopard and a tiger was exposed at the entrance of the cave, roaring, walking back and forth, revealing a fierce light from time to time to look at the four people.
Then in the fog, only thunderous roars were heard on both sides of the cliff, and bursts of roars were like overwhelming the mountains and seas, and the three of Shen Ling who listened to it held each other's hands and trembled.
Seeing this, Dongzi immediately put the double axe horizontally in front of him, his pulse exploded, and he said excitedly: "No wonder this way, it is so quiet, not even a single bird, bird or beast can be seen, and it has actually entered the territory of this flying leopard and tiger." β
As soon as he heard that it was the Flying Leopard Tiger, Xiao Man was no longer afraid, took the arrow and put it on the string, ready to shoot at any time, and said with interest: "Ye Dong, is the Flying Leopard Tiger a strange beast, why are there so many." β
Dongzi's eyes seemed to be glowing with golden light, and he said excitedly: "Of course, this flying leopard tiger has the body of a leopard, the head of a tiger, and a pair of wings on its body, so it is called the flying leopard tiger, and it often lives in the shady cave of the cliff to catch other birds and beasts for food. β
Then he continued: "I heard Master Ji Shan say that this flying leopard tiger is a high-grade species among foreign beasts, and its bones and blood can dredge the veins, have the effect of opening the chakras, and have a great help to the pulse cultivation," and finally sighed: "If you can capture one, it will be regarded as a big face for the clan." β
Hearing Dongzi say this, Shen Ling's heart suddenly flashed, and he was particularly concerned about Ye Dong's sentence to clear the veins and open the chakras, so he was curious: "Can it be effective for anyone?"
Dongzi seemed to see Shen Ling's thoughts, and continued: "This strange beast is an existence that lasts for hundreds of years, and of course it is beneficial and harmless for pulse qi cultivation, so if you can capture one today, it will not be in vain. β
As he spoke, he shouted at Shen Ling: "Shen Ling, your pulse qi cultivation has always been slow, I'll get you a head to try today." β
Qu Zhen'er on the side was also interested, but she still didn't know: "But these flying leopards and tigers live on the cliff wall, how can they capture it." β
Dongzi moved the sharp axe in his hand, and said leisurely: "Just this," and then said without panicking: "With the strength of the four of us, it is indeed difficult to destroy its cave, but it is not difficult to force it out of the cave, and I have my own way." β
Saying that, Dongzi and the three of them discussed it again, and chose the most accessible one at the mouth of a cliff as a hunting target, and deviated slightly from the burrows of other flying leopard tigers.
Under the arrangement of Dongzi, the four of them climbed the cliff and swirled into the air, and landed on a platform on the other side of the cliff, at this time the roar of the flying leopard tiger continued, as if they could sense the crisis brought by Shen Ling and others, and the flying leopard tiger has a characteristic that although they live in groups in the surrounding mountains, they do not interfere with each other's territory, which brings great opportunities to Shen Ling and others.
Standing on the only platform at the mouth of this cliff, the four of them looked at the opposite bank, although it was only a few tens of zhang away, but the irritable sound of the flying leopard and tiger was deafening, as if the mountain was shaking.
Seeing that Shen Ling and the three of them were a little nervous, Dongzi said while taking out his sharp axe: "Don't be afraid, this guy will not take the initiative to attack people if he is easy, this is just a deterrent and warning from him." β
Xiao Man had already aimed his arrow feathers at the opposite shore and sighed, "What a big guy." β
Shen Ling looked at the opposite shore, through the ethereal clouds and mist, and finally took in its full view, it was a huge giant beast, it was really as Ye Dong said, its head was like a wild leopard, its body was like a tiger, and the purple wings on both sides were close to its body, revealing its sharp giant teeth under the roar, and in the midst of restlessness, the giant front paws kept pounding the ground, splashing sand and rocks, and rolling up bursts of light dust.
The thick tail swept away the dead branches and wild vines around the cave, and every move projected its deterrent power, not only revealing wildness in front of this strange beast, but also a faint smell of blood.
Shen Ling withdrew his eyes and looked around, this look really surprised him, the platform where the four people were standing was just able to accommodate four people, and there was no extra space, but what was frightening was the vast clouds and mist under his feet, like an abyss, with cliffs everywhere, and there was no end in sight up and down, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: "Even if you force out that guy, how easy it is to capture it." β
Dongzi also retracted his gaze and said, "The three of you don't move for the time being, wait where you are, and come back after I go to explore." β
Before the three of them could reply, they spun up and threw themselves in.
Qu Zhen'er's eyes revealed a trace of anxiety, and she hurriedly shouted, "Be careful, Yedong." β
Then the three of them raised their guard, staring at the direction where Fuyuko was going.
Fuyuko, who flew into the air, with two axes in hand, first flew to the top of the two walls, and then swooped down, his eyes flashing, searching the cave below and the surrounding cliffs, the figure was like lightning, galloping past.
The roar of the flying leopard and tiger at the mouth of the cave was even more hoarse, the sound lasted longer and was lower than just now, and the surrounding people also roared in unison, which suddenly made people feel noisy and unbearable, and made people always feel a little uneasy in their hearts.
As he approached the top of the cave, he swung his axe and slammed it into the rock wall, striking the side of the cave with a bang, followed by a cloud of smoke and dust that enveloped everything and submerged him.
Seeing the scene just now, Shen Ling's expressions darkened, and their hearts tightened, and when they were about to shout, they saw a figure rushing back and falling into the three.
After seeing Ye Dong return safely, the tense hearts of the three of them calmed down.
After landing, Dongzi inserted the double axe into his waist, patted a light dust, the blow just now, mainly to test the hardness of the rock wall, with the explosion of which blow just now, all the roars quieted down at once, even the flying leopard tiger on the opposite bank also lost its sound, the dust and smoke gradually dispersed, and the hole gradually appeared, but there was no strange beast.
Xiao Man was shocked: "Look, that flying leopard tiger is gone." β
Shen Ling also looked carefully, and was puzzled in his heart, Qu Zhen'er's expression was strange.
After Dongzi sorted it out for a while, he said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, it's just hiding temporarily," and then said: "I have explored the surroundings of this cave just now, and I also have a general understanding of the rock hardness of the cave wall, and with the strength of the four of us, I will definitely be able to force it out of the cave." β
The more Xiao Man listened, the more excited he became, and he leaned forward and said, "Say, Yedong, what to do next, we will all listen to you." β
