The caravan walked south for a few more days.
Yu Zhi slept all day and only woke up at night. He often looked into the dark night, and the bloody eye often appeared, but the opponent never launched an attack.
Until tonight, Yu Zhi was fiddling with the bonfire in boredom, sparks flying towards the sky.
After Zhou Hu and San'er found out about that ghost thing, they were nervous all day long and would investigate if there was any sign of trouble.
Yu Zhi regretted telling them this.
"Maybe tonight, that thing will appear." Yu Zhi said.
When Zhou Hu heard this, he looked around a few more times, and then asked: "Seriously?"
Yu Zhi didn't know how to explain it, so he said: "It's just intuition. We will walk out of this wilderness tomorrow, and then there will be no chance for him. Since it has been following us for so many days, it doesn't want to return without success. If tonight, It hasn’t moved yet, so we’re safe.”
What Yu Zhi means is - tonight is the most dangerous night.
Saner took a sip of wine, as if to embolden himself. But he drank the wine too quickly, choked a few times, and then couldn't help coughing loudly.
The bonfire swayed, and the flames suddenly exploded like a fireworks display, rising several feet high. Suddenly, the night became a little colder.
Immediately afterwards, a biting chill came from the dark mountain forest.
"Here we come." Yu Zhi whispered.
Zhou Hu looked around and clenched the steel knife in his hand. He couldn't predict what would happen next. After all, he didn't even know what that thing was.
Yu Zhi picked up a sword on the ground. This was a bad situation. Although he was curious, he did not want to fight with something unknown.
Now, he is already a strong man of the seventh grade Kaibei. There are not many young seventh-grade Kaibei in the entire Da Chu.
But the strength of the realm has nothing to do with age. A hundred-year-old man with the ninth level of Kaibei can still kill Yu Zhi instantly.
Yu Zhi looked towards the rear of the caravan, where the biting chill came from.
Fear comes from the unknown.
The white mist before was very strange, and it could "eat" a person silently.
But Yu Zhi was not afraid. He knew that this was a formation, and he even knew that this might be the fog ghost that Ning Huan was talking about.
Yu Zhi stood up and said calmly: "I'm going to kill him. If I don't come back before dawn, you leave first."
Zhou Hu said: "Wait, Brother Li, I will go with you."
Yu Zhi glanced at Zhou Hu in surprise and listened to Zhou Hu's instructions: "San'er, I'll leave the rest of the caravan to you."
San'er gritted his teeth and summoned up the courage to say, "Boss, I'll go too."
Zhou Hu scolded: "Idiot, why are you still fooling around at this time?"
Yu Zhi just smiled. He appreciated the friendship between brothers and didn't say much.
Yu Zhi didn't care whether Zhou Hu followed or not, and walked straight into the night of the jungle. In his opinion, it was the same with or without Zhou Hu.
The night was dim, and the departure of Yu Zhi and Zhou Hu also attracted the attention of others. They didn't know that something was watching them, and they didn't have that sense of urgency in their hearts.
San'er frowned and said, "Everyone, get up and stay vigil tonight."
Beside the carriage, the steward told Su Muchi what had just happened.
The steward asked: "Miss, I'm afraid there may be danger here. Should we go first?"
Su Muchi was not as flustered as before, and said calmly: "Without Li Zhi, our journey will be more difficult. I believe he will come back alive."
In the dark carriage, Su Muchi thought a lot. She turned to look at the night outside the window and murmured: "Li Zhi, this must be a false name. He is so young and has such high cultivation, he is actually the famous killer Wu Wu of Nanzhou Prefecture." Kill all the ghosts. Who are you?"
If Yu Zhi heard these words, he would definitely be suspicious.
Yu Zhi never told Su Muchi that the killer was Wugui, but how did Su Muchi know?
No one knew that Su Muchi had already seen the person setting up the formation behind the white mist, and her panic was just to cooperate with everyone.
"Li Zhi, Li Zhi... I have never heard of this name among the big families in Kyoto named Li."
...
The mountain forest at night is like an abyss. After swallowing people, silence returns again. The soft moonlight will look a bit colder when it falls into the mountains and forests.
Yu Zhi broke into the forest, followed closely by Zhou Hu. There were no unnecessary sounds around, just the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Suddenly, the moonlight passed over a figure, and the dark hair jumped out in front of his eyes. What was even more frightening was the bloody eye, which was like a blood moon, eerie and terrifying.
Yu Zhi took a step forward, wanting to see the thing up close. But then there was a deep roar.
The roar was thick and roaring, and the whole forest was trembling. Countless fallen leaves fell and turned into powder in the air.
Tiger?
Is this the roar of a tiger?
A tiger claw covered with black hair poked out from the night. The sharp claws flashed in the moonlight, with a bit of coldness.
call!
The sound of breaking wind was sharp and swift, and disappeared in a flash. Claw marks flashed before Yu Zhi's eyes, as if they could tear the night apart.
At such a close distance, Yu Zhi finally saw clearly what he was curious about - the tiger.
It was a black tiger, but it couldn't be called a tiger.
This tiger is twice the size of an ordinary tiger, and its claws alone are as big as a human face. What's even weirder is that the tiger in front of him is covered with jet black hair, like steel needles embedded in his body. A tail swayed nimbly like a snake.
There are two eyes on the forehead, one is the pupil of an ordinary tiger, and the other is the blood pupil that Yu Zhi saw. In addition to the bloodthirsty meaning in the blood pupils, there is also some cruelty and cunning. It has some intelligence, but not much.
Two sharp horns grew out of the top of the black tiger's head. They were as thick as ox horns and could break through boulders with just one impact.
The fangs, sharp claws, and sharp horns all shone with a cold light.
Thick saliva dripped from the tiger's mouth. Yes, it was going to devour the two humans in front of it.
There is often a trick on the stage where a black tiger takes out the heart, but there is no such thing as a black tiger in the world. The black tiger in front of us is obviously abnormal. Especially the bloody pupil made Yu Zhi feel like he had seen it before.
Zhou Hu was shocked by the black tiger in front of him and couldn't help but cursed: "What the hell is this?"
Yu Zhi had no nonsense, he drew his sword and stood up, the light of the sword rushed out like a river. Although the sword in his hand was only an ordinary grade, but coupled with the combat power of the seventh grade Kaibei, the sword light blasted forward with a devastating force.
The sword light touched the dark hair, only a few clanging sounds were heard, the hair broke, and the sword light dimmed a bit.
Yu Zhi was surprised. The black tiger's fur obviously had extremely strong defensive power.
The black tiger roared again, and with the terrifying roar, the tiger's claws swung and landed directly on those sword lights.
The light dimmed in an instant, and the tiger's claws broke through Yu Zhi's sword light.
Just from such a close encounter, Zhou Hu realized what a terrifying cultivation level the young man in front of him had. Just the sword strike just now was unstoppable even with all his strength. And this black tiger is equally powerful. If it weren't for Yu Zhi, I'm afraid the entire caravan would have become the black tiger's rations.
Yu Zhi smiled coldly and rushed forward again. After figuring out what the other party was, Yu Zhi felt confident.
clang!
Countless sword lights from the wind and snow struck the black tiger's sharp claws, knocking it back several meters.
"What a thick-headed beast!" Yu Zhi cursed.
Black Tiger seemed to understand what Yu Zhi said, and roared ferociously one after another. It knew that Yu Zhi was insulting it, but it was really just a beast.
Yu Zhi turned into a galloping star, the electric light flashed, and a sliding shovel appeared under Hei Hu. The true energy is poured into the long sword to attract the thunder.
One sword caused thunder!
Thunder as thick as the trunk of a century-old tree fell from the sky and hit the black tiger's back.
Thunder is hard to avoid, purple lightning drives away evil spirits!
In an instant, the entire mountain forest was illuminated by purple lightning.
Roar!
An angry and desperate roar disappeared under the surge of thunder.
Outside the mountain forest, everyone in the caravan watched in horror as the purple thunder spread. They didn't know what was happening, and they all fell into panic. Someone wanted to escape, but San'er shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, it's my brother and the others who are killing the enemy!"
Su Yichun looked at the thunder, with similar sounds echoing in his ears, and his eyes were also shocked. He knew that Zhou Hu would never be able to display such martial arts at his level, only...that young man named Li Zhi.
But as for him, his level is not enough to do this.
Through the car window, Su Muchi saw the huge thunder and lightning in the mountains and forests in the distance, and her heart trembled. She became more curious about Yu Zhi, and began to have other thoughts in her heart.
Before the purple thunder dissipated, Yu Zhi rose into the air and appeared behind Hei Hu, hesitantly putting away the talisman in his hand.
The red fire talisman was enough to blow this beast to pieces.
Yu Zhi didn't want to do this. During the fight just now, Yu Zhi smelled some rotten stench. At that time, Yu Zhi understood why he felt that the blood pupil was so familiar.
Therefore, Yu Zhi had seen such blood pupils on Fei Ying's body. However, Fei Ying's blood pupils were extremely pure, with absolutely no impurities other than coldness. Unlike the black tiger's bloody pupils, the pupils seemed to be stained with blood.
As for the stench, Yu Zhi immediately thought of the night ghost... The black tiger in front of him was not the night ghost, but it had the same stench as the night ghost.
Thick black blood dripped down, and the stench of decay became extremely strong.
The first time Zhou Hu smelled this smell, he couldn't help but vomited.
Purple electric arcs climbed over Black Tiger's body, paralyzing him. Now it is lying on the ground, with despair in its eyes.
It knew it had made a mistake this time. Its intuition was right, the boy in front of it was not easy to mess with.
In Yu Zhi's estimation, although the black tiger's size is exaggerated and its black hair has amazing defensive power, its overall strength is not enough to fight against the strong men of the seventh level of Kaibi.
With just two moves, Yu Zhi suppressed it forcefully, implanting abyss-like control into Black Tiger's heart.
"Can you understand human language?" Yu Zhi asked.
