Chapter 384
There were no roads in this wild mountain and wilderness, and the mountains and forests were covered with long grass and stones. The horse couldn't gallop, so it could only move forward slowly, and the speed was not much faster than He Lingchuan walking himself. Leading the horse over a low slope, a warning sign suddenly arose in his heart, as if the threat was right beside him, as if it were real.
He had already been targeted.
He Lingchuan remained calm and continued to lead the horse forward. The Heart-Protecting Mirror in his bosom said to him: "Hey, there's a situation."
He gave a soft "Shh."
Just at this moment, there was a rustling sound in the grass to the right rear, like wind passing through shrubs, and also like a rabbit skimming the grass tips.
He Lingchuan secretly said "It's here" in his heart, threw something out with a backhand, and rolled under the horse's belly himself.
A colorful fierce tiger pounced out from the grass, weighing more than six hundred jin. This behemoth jumped from between the grass leaves, but only made a faint sound.
Wind follows the tiger, sure enough, it makes sense.
However, it had just pounced behind He Lingchuan when it saw something smashing toward its nose. It scratched with its palm, and that thing was hooked and broken by the sharp claw tips.
With a soft "bang," that thing exploded, and yellow smoke flew all over the sky.
Immediately followed by an indescribable foul smell, exploding all over its face.
A tiger's sense of smell is more than ten times more sensitive than a human's, and the foul smell that even humans couldn't bear was no less than a blow to the head for it.
It couldn't care about anything else, suddenly lunged forward a few steps away from the stench, and lowered its head to vomit.
This kind of physiological reaction simply couldn't be restrained.
A figure flashed in the yellow fog, He Lingchuan held his breath and rushed out, the Floating Life Blade slashing down at its neck.
Just as the fierce tiger was about to be beheaded, a earth-shattering tiger roar came from the grass, and another colorful figure pounced out, hitting He Lingchuan directly.
The two fell and tumbled out together.
There were actually two fierce tigers, ambushing him one after the other.
The tiger roar was soul-stirring, and it exploded nearby. He Lingchuan only felt like a thunderclap had struck his ear, his heart and liver were suddenly trembling, and his body inevitably fell into stiffness.
This was the tiger monster's talent "Terror," and weaker prey would be scared to death by it on the spot.
In an instant, the two rolled together.
The huge tiger head was less than a foot away, and the open mouth could fit two human heads. The ten tiger claws were like spring knives, each a foot long, and they stretched out and scratched at him with a "ceng" sound.
Once scratched, it would be light disfigurement, and heavy disembowelment.
But just at this moment, a red light flashed on He Lingchuan's body, and the tiger claws scratched on him as if on metal, actually making a harsh "zhiga zhiga" sound.
At the same time, the Heart-Protecting Mirror on his chest emitted a light tremor.
The master-protecting function was automatically triggered.
He Lingchuan's stiffness was only for a moment. His soul had long been traveling between the blue sky and the underworld, more resilient than ordinary practitioners. Although he was caught by the tiger roar, the state of terror only lasted less than a second before being driven away, and his body returned to flexibility.
Seeing the fierce tiger attacking with another claw, He Lingchuan held the blade in front, struggling to block it, and pulled back with a backhand.
The tiger claw was injured.
If it weren't for the fierce tiger retracting its palm quickly, half of its forepaw would have been gone.
The two sides touched and separated, He Lingchuan borrowed force to flip back, and a flying knife shot out.
The fierce tiger was quick-eyed and fast-clawed, slapping away the flying knife, its movements so fast that it left remnant shadows.
Taking advantage of this effort, He Lingchuan raised his hand and hit the hook rope out.
The fierce tiger pounced again, and he had already borrowed the rope to jump, stepped on the tree trunk twice, and leaped to the high branches above.
The other fierce tiger that had been hit by the incense ball had now shaken off the negative state, only occasionally shaking its head.
The impact of the stench was lingering, and it still made it feel terrified in its heart.
The two tigers joined forces, the mother tiger roared at it repeatedly, scolding it for being "useless," and the male tiger could only listen to the lecture with its ears pressed down.
It walked around under the tree twice, looked at He Lingchuan, and suddenly said: "Leave the Imperial Flowing Plasma, and I will spare your life."
He Lingchuan spread his hands: "I drank it all."
"Nonsense, there is no smell of you having taken it on your body!"
The mother tiger roared: "Eat him immediately, it's still not too late!" Dawn had broken, and all creatures had just taken the Imperial Flowing Plasma, so catching and eating him was still a great supplement.
He Lingchuan said lightly: "I thought the monsters of Beijia were reasonable."
The fierce tiger laughed: "Look at your feet first. If you want to talk about reason, go back to the city!"
In this wild mountain and wilderness, and just after the Imperial Flowing Plasma outbreak, sharp teeth and claws were the hard truth!
It hugged the tree trunk and suddenly lunged up, its speed actually as fast as running on land.
Just missing a pair of wings, the big cat would be all-around.
He Lingchuan threw out another pair of flying darts, the fierce tiger didn't dodge or evade, and the flying darts actually couldn't pierce that tiger skin.
He Lingchuan frowned.
These two monsters didn't display any supernatural powers, He Lingchuan thought they were hiding their clumsiness, but it turned out that all their skill points were added to themselves.
This type of strength-based monster likes to strengthen itself.
The so-called Great Dao is simple; as long as the skin is thick and the claws are fast to a certain extent, the various strange arts of practitioners are like paper in front of them.
Fortunately, at this time, He Lingchuan had already taken out the Heart-Protecting Mirror from his bosom and shook it at the fierce tiger a few times.
The distance between the two sides was very close, and the daylight was bright, so the fierce tiger immediately saw its own big head in the mirror.
Looking in the mirror was nothing unusual for a tiger monster, but the tiger in the mirror suddenly winked at it and leaned its nose over to sniff.
The fierce tiger was stunned; this, this didn't seem to be itself.
It seemed to be another mother tiger, with a rounder face, bigger eyes, and sharper teeth.
Most importantly, it looked much younger and much prettier than the rough wife behind it.
It was stunned.
The mother tiger lunged up from its side, seeing it drop the chain again, and was so angry that it scratched its hind leg. If it weren't for this guy falling for the other's trick, the couple would have been splitting the Imperial Flowing Plasma by now! It couldn't care about why its spouse was stunned and motionless, and opened its mouth to bite He Lingchuan's heel.
Just at this moment, two figures suddenly jumped out from another large tree and hit the mother tiger directly.
The ambush by the two mountain ghouls possessed by evil ghosts was effective!
Both of these guys were heavier than adults, hitting the mother tiger's waist like cannonballs, and the latter was caught off guard, rolling to the ground together with the two mountain ghouls.
The two sides wrestled together, the tiger roar and ghoul cry shook the sky, and dead branches and mud splashed on the ground.
After all, the mountain ghouls were no match for the fierce tiger, and after only three rounds, one had its neck bitten off. The evil ghost possessed on the mountain ghoul immediately flew out and rushed back to the mirror.
During this period, He Lingchuan on the tree also shot two sleeve arrows at the mother tiger. The magic weapon personally refined by Master Li Fubo had a remarkable armor-piercing effect, and finally, it was no longer bounced off by the tiger skin.
The mother tiger was hit by an arrow in the back and front leg. Not to mention the damage caused by itself, the wound felt like it was being burned by fierce fire, causing it to roar repeatedly.
He Lingchuan even saw a row of large blisters growing rapidly near the mother tiger's wound, like mushrooms on a tree stump, and nodded with satisfaction.
He applied the venom of the cave spider gifted by Zhu Xiuer to the sleeve arrows. If the blisters couldn't be picked and drained of pus within a few breaths, the spider venom would flow through the blood to the whole body, dissolving muscles and paralyzing the prey.
At this time, he also jumped to the ground and fought with the mother tiger.
Once he entered the battle, the battle rhythm suddenly accelerated, and the mother tiger had no time to pull out the poison, and its body soon became heavy, almost unable to lift its claws.
It could only call for the male tiger to help.
The originally stunned male tiger actually jumped down from the tree and pounced toward He Lingchuan.
The mother tiger felt relieved, but didn't know that when the male tiger ran past it, it suddenly turned around and pounced on it, biting off its trachea and breaking its neck in two bites!
The mother tiger died with eyes wide open.
It couldn't see the evil ghost possessed on the male tiger.
The male tiger had been confused by the mirror earlier, and its mind was chaotic, so the success rate of the evil ghost's invasion greatly increased.
He Lingchuan approached the mother tiger, let the Heart-Protecting Mirror suck away its soul, and shook his head while saying: "It seems your husband and wife relationship is not good."
This male tiger killed its wife, although controlled by the evil ghost, but it didn't resist fiercely itself, and it was still licking its mouth, as if tasting the deliciousness of fresh blood.
Seeing He Lingchuan stand up, the mirror reminded him: "Search, hey, maybe it still has Imperial Flowing Plasma!"
The large teeth of tiger and leopard monsters can mostly store things. Even if the mother tiger swallowed the Imperial Flowing Plasma last night, it had only been a few hours, so it would be excellent to take its corpse to refine medicine.
He Lingchuan looked at the sky: "No need, leave it to the guests below."
Several white cranes were already circling in the sky, as if observing the situation below.
The spiritual rain had stopped.
If he only planned to collect the web and leave now, he didn't know how much interference he would receive.
When the fierce tiger pounced, he threw out the incense ball, and his mount had long since run away without a trace.
This terrain was not suitable for horses to run, so it was not a pity to lose it. He Lingchuan dropped the tiger corpse, unfolded his movement technique, and drilled into the jungle.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to throw the Eyeball Spider onto a nearby tree trunk, ordering it to lurk and watch the show.
The large trees above were tall, and the shrubs below were dense, covering the tracks of the lurker tightly.
The male tiger also drilled into the forest and disappeared.
The crow perched not far away was anxious, wanting to catch up with He Lingchuan but not daring to get too close, so it had to circle in the air, wanting to find his whereabouts.
The battle below stopped, the crane monsters circled a few times and landed, starting to peck at the mother tiger's corpse.
The creatures that ate the Imperial Flowing Plasma last night now had flesh and blood full of spiritual energy. In normal times, where would these crane monsters have the opportunity to gnaw on a tiger corpse?
They had no etiquette in eating, noisy and noisy, not knowing how to make a fortune in silence, so they soon attracted the vultures.
Then, more than twenty ape monsters arrived following the sound, each one not losing to the mountain ghouls in size.
Their personalities were domineering, wanting to eat alone, so they broke out in a great battle with the bird monsters.
A quarter of an hour later, the scene was littered with corpses, only a few bird monsters remained, barely flapping their wings and flying away, and three violent apes died and seven were injured.
However, as the victors, besides enjoying the tiger corpse, they could also gorge on the corpses of the bird monsters.
And then, humans appeared.
No one knew how many fights and slaughters had occurred in Three Hearts Lake, which was usually rarely visited, today.
Usually, monsters and humans might not be so manic and crazy, but under the influence of the Imperial Flowing Plasma, they were all red-eyed today, almost not knowing how to advance or retreat, until death.
He Lingchuan was glad he slipped away early.
Staying behind would mean dealing with endless wheel battles, and he, an outsider, was not strong enough.
At this time, the black-clad youth and his party finally arrived at the shore of Three Hearts Lake.
