Chapter Eighty-Eight: Descending the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger

Before he could think about it, he heard a 'hiss', and with the exertion just now, half of the sleeve of his right hand cracked. Before there was time to take care of anything else, the little beast had already pounced again, compared to the last time it saw it, it seemed to be much bolder, and was threatened by Lu Zheng, instead of hiding back in the grass nest, it rushed up with more bared teeth.

Lu Zheng took two steps back, and hissed twice, it was his two trouser legs that cracked again, Lu Zheng didn't care about these first, his eyes were quick, and he stabbed the half-withered branch in his hand forward, just on the eye of the little beast. The little beast screamed and fled back to the hayhouse.

Lu Zheng had no intention of entanglement with it, afraid that it would rush out for a while, and he didn't lose half of the branch in his hand, so he held it in his hand, and hurriedly saw a fist-sized stone on the ground, identified the direction of the mountain, and ran forward. I walked to the foot of the mountain in one breath and found a waterhole several feet square. He saw that there were no animal footprints near the waterhole, so he was relieved, reached out and took two sips of water in the waterhole, and then sat down and rested slowly.

The little beast just now was twice as big as before he went up the tree, when did it become so big? Lu Zheng looked at the dead branch in his hand, secretly frightened. It was a branch he had broken before, and it was about the thickness of his arm, almost as high as his shoulder, so how long would it take for such a branch to wither and become brittle, and grow moss?

In fact, if this branch falls into the water, the bark on the branch may be soaked in less than half a month, but the branch will hardly change in a few years. But that's how the branch was placed next to the tree. Exposed to the wind and rain, it takes a year's work, or even a few years.

No wonder Lu Zheng will be confused, could it be that he went up to the tree and slept for a full year, or more?

As for the clothes he was wearing, he had torn two trouser legs and one sleeve, not mold and rot, but too small. This set of clothes was still given to him by Uncle Shenxu when he was in Tianzong. I don't know what fabric the road is made of. It was soft and hard-wearing, but now his hands and feet were exposed in small parts. Of course, it's not that his clothes have shrunk and become smaller, but that he has grown in size.

So Lu Zheng looked down at the pool. I saw that a fluffy beard had grown from the corner of my mouth. The Adam's apple is protruding. There are some obvious changes in the eyes, nose, etc. on the face, and this face is clearly itself, but it is no longer the original self.

Just when Lu Zheng was surprised. Suddenly, he saw a colorful tiger with a black horn on its forehead quietly walking towards him, it should have come to drink water, but he accidentally found himself, his eyes showed a look of surprise, and he immediately bowed down and slowly approached.

The one-horned tiger came from behind, but Lu Zheng could see it clearly, as if he also had eyes behind him. If he wanted to do it before, of course, he could do it, the divine consciousness was extended, and everywhere he went, the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind were all at the same time. However, he was surprised by the change in himself just now, and he did not take the initiative to mobilize his divine consciousness at all, so how could he see what was behind it? It seemed that his divine consciousness had undergone some kind of change, and his divine consciousness was transparent and clear, and his divine consciousness was no longer activated by the external sense, but was really there as usual, observing all internal and external situations.

Aware of the changes in his body, but Lu Zheng had no time to study it carefully, because in addition to a one-horned tiger approaching behind him, the calm and waveless waterhole in front of him was used to illuminate his face and figure just now, but at this time, the whole body suddenly trembled slightly, and a circle of ripples suddenly opened on the surface of the water, and Lu Zheng looked into the depths of the waterhole with all his eyes.

Although he had clairvoyance, his realm was insufficient to break through the barrier of deep water, and he could only see a slender figure coming rapidly from the depths of the waterhole. Its speed was very fast, just when Lu Zheng just saw its figure, the next moment it had already broken through the water, and when it rose into the sky, it flew out countless splashes, bringing out a long groan that cracked the brain, and it was heard far away in the mountains and forests.

At first glance, Lu Zheng thought that it was a dragon that flew out, but after a closer look, it didn't look like it. It was slender and long, about two feet long, and its body was blue, but it had no horns on its head, and it swam and danced in the air with its teeth and claws, and swam and entrenched above the waterhole, its eyes blazing, and it stared at the one-horned tiger.

Lu Zheng recognized that this was not a dragon, but a frog. Why did he know the frog? It was very simple, because when he was in the Sun and Moon Mansion, he read a book called "All Things", which recorded many creatures of all kinds between heaven and earth, and among them there was a record about Jiao. "Everything" says that if it looks like a dragon and has no horns, it is called Jiao, and Jiao will live for thousands of years and become a dragon.

It is also recorded in the book that there are often two reasons for the appearance of Jiao, one is that it is formed by the cultivation of some fish, and the other is directly reborn from heaven and earth. Jiao belongs to water and often lives in deep pools deep in the mountains. However, in "Everything", although there is a record of Jiao, there is no record of a one-horned tiger.

At the same time as the frog roared, the one-horned tiger was not to be outdone, pounced forward, jumped out of a few feet, Lu Zheng began to think that the one-horned tiger was rushing towards him, and quickly fled to the side, but the one-horned tiger ignored him at all, jumped directly to the edge of the waterhole, looked up to the sky and let out a roar, the sound moved the four fields, and the cry of the frog resisted.

Between a groan and a roar, the frog propelled down and the unicorn tiger jumped up, you came and went, each with its claws towards each other, and fought with each other. The cries echoed all around, and in the shaking, the waterhole exploded several feet high and scattered the water columns, and the grass, trees, mountains and rivers trembled, startling countless birds and beasts screaming and running away.

Just their cries were enough to shake off the beasts, not to mention the claws and teeth facing each other! Lu Zheng on the side also felt dizzy for a while, as if his soul was about to be withdrawn from his body, and the Yuan Shen, Yuan Jing, and Yuan Qi, which had already fused into one, actually showed signs of falling apart again. Lu Zheng immediately used his mana, adjusted his form and spirit, and stabilized the original god.

During the filming, the form and spirit gradually stabilized, and the sound of the roar of the tiger was far away, as if it had happened in another world. But at the same time, it was extremely clear that it was perceived more and more clearly by Lu Zheng's voice of mind, but he understood the sound of the roar of the tiger!

The so-called understood, it does not mean that the Jiao and the tiger are using their respective calls to have a human-like conversation, which Lu Zheng understands. Instead, they were expressing a strong emotion in their calls, which was clearly perceived by Lu Zheng. The roar of the one-horned tiger carried infinite hatred, and the moaning of the frog carried endless anger. The anger of the frog and the hatred of the unicorn constantly collided with each other, and no one would back down.

There was nothing real in their hatred and anger, just a simple and direct emotion expressed by such desperate moans and roars. Of course, if this is also a way of dialogue, it is okay, as if two people who are arguing have already explained their own reasoning, and only simple abuse and attack are left!

Why is the moaning of this frog with anger and the roar of the one-horned tiger with hatred? Anger is usually caused by being violated, and hatred is often caused by being hurt. This waterhole is obviously the habitat of the frog, but the one-horned tiger has invaded, and the frog's anger is obvious, and its anger is that its 'home' has been violated.

Since the homeland has been invaded, it is natural to rise up and fight, once there is a fight, it will inevitably be hurt because of the strength and weakness, look at this frog and the one-horned tiger, obviously not the first time to fight. Lu Zheng looked carefully, the one-horned tiger's face had an extremely deep scar, although it had long been healed, but this scar crossed its eyeballs, almost blinding it all the time, it can be seen that the original injury was miserable! And this scar is thin and deep, it should be the masterpiece of this frog, no wonder there is such hatred in the roar of this one-horned tiger.

Perceiving all this, Lu Zheng could completely imagine how this frog and the unicorn tiger fought. This deep pool is the only water source in the vicinity, and one day, the one-horned tiger came here to drink. It has lived here for many years, and is used to drinking water in this pool, but for some reason, on this day there was suddenly an extra frog in the pool.

I don't know where this frog came from, maybe it was the spiritual creature that was born out of this waterhole that became the climate, but it didn't feel like a spirit. The frog regards the waterhole as its home, and does not allow other creatures to invade it. When the one-horned tiger came to drink, its powerful aura alarmed the frogs at the bottom of the pool. There have been creatures who have come to the waterhole to drink before, but it has never made it feel threatened, but the arrival of this one-horned tiger makes it feel that the other party has come to rob its home.

The birds and beasts between heaven and earth, the same kind often do not give in to each other, and the words of birds and beasts do not understand each other, this frog naturally did not first confirm whether the one-horned tiger came to rob its own waterhole, at the moment of feeling the threat, the choice it made was to attack the one-horned tiger at the first time!

This is where the unicorn grew up drinking water, and it has never considered this waterhole its own, but it has long been accustomed to drinking in this waterhole. At the moment when the frog attacked, its natural vigilance had already made it feel that something was wrong, it instinctively jumped out of the waterhole but it was too late, the frog groaned, making it slacken, and when it jumped, it was a few points slower than usual, and it did not dodge the next claw that the frog poked out towards it!

The frog's claws were unusually hard and sharp, and this claw almost pulled out its eyeballs. The one-horned tiger roared in pain, turned and swept away, its tail pulled out like a whip, and then plunged into the woods, and it did not fight under its wounds, but fled directly.

The claw of the frog hurt it very badly, and it took a long time to recover. The first thing it did after it recovered from its injuries was to come to this frog for revenge. Since then, I have been fighting against this frog until now, and every once in a while, there will inevitably be a fight! (To be continued......
