The mountains are high and the forests are lush.
The Taoist looked up and saw the mountains and forests filling his eyes.
In such a mountain, let alone the tiger demon, there are no rumors of jackals, tigers and leopards, and ordinary people would not dare to go up the mountain easily.
I don’t know if there is a road up there. Anyway, the Taoist is a stranger and has never seen the road up the mountain.
Not to mention the road up the mountain, even this official road winding through the mountains. If you want to walk from the official road into the forest above, you have to climb over a ridge half a person's height.
However, I saw traces of stepping on the ridge.
The two of them stopped beside the official road. The little girl looked into the distance on the roadside, while the Taoist looked down at the trace.
The official road was dug out of the mountain, and the hillside and ridge were on the left hand side. However, the ridge here showed signs of collapse, as if it had been trampled by some animal that was inconvenient to climb the slope. If you look carefully, you can see faint horse hoof prints from above, and the grass and trees in front have also been pushed aside.
It seems that people and horses have been jumping up the mountain since then.
Ordinary horses can't do this.
The Taoist raised his head slightly again——
The woods were very dense, and the branches overhead were cluttered, which would have a great impact on people on horseback. Therefore, the branches showed signs of being cut off, and the fractures were extremely smooth, as if they had been cut with a saw and then polished.
It seemed like someone was cutting down the tangled branches with a sharp blade.
Ordinary swords cannot do this.
Ordinary warriors cannot do this.
"..."
The Taoist thought for a while, then turned to his horse and said, "You are carrying luggage and have difficulty walking, so you will stay here. If you are in danger, leave temporarily."
The horse grazed silently, not knowing whether it was heard or not.
The Taoist looked at the little girl again, then pushed aside the grass and walked up the mountain.
The little girl also looked up to the mountain and sniffed, smelling a disturbing smell. Then with a solemn expression, she reached into her arms and took out her flag.
"Wow..."
When he waved the flag, a large cloud of black smoke was released. When the black smoke fell to the ground, more than a dozen wolves appeared. When he waved the flag again, another cloud of black smoke was released, which also turned into big wolves. After doing this four times, a total of fifty or sixty wolves were summoned and landed in the dense jungle. They either remained silent and looked up at her, or lowered their heads to smell the unfamiliar smell of the grass on the roadside.
The little girl clutched the flag, slowly drew a circle around her, and then pointed at herself. The wolves immediately understood and spread out, keeping a distance from her, and followed her deeper into the forest.
The forest is quiet, which makes it even more terrifying.
"Puff puff..."
The sound of swallows flying attracted her attention. The little girl and the wolves stopped and looked up, staring closely at the swallows. They relaxed a little when they realized it was their own swallow.
"Sir, there is a tiger den on the top of the mountain. There are traces of a fight in front of the tiger den, as well as blood stains and pieces of cloth. I dare not get too close because I don't know how the battle is going. In addition, there are many tigers wandering in the mountains."
The Taoist was not afraid of the tiger and just asked:
"Which way is easier to get there?"
"There is no way up the mountain. I just want to find a road with less vegetation and gentle slopes for my husband. Just follow me."
"Thank you."
The swallow flapped its wings and flew higher.
Yanzi was actually very thoughtful, fearing that the Taoist would not see him. Every time he flew, he would stop and look back. He also deliberately avoided the dense branches, lest his small body be blocked and the Taoist below could not see clearly.
The Taoist followed him up the mountain.
It sounds like the swordsman has already had a fight with the tiger demon.
What the city guard said was probably true.
Most of the injuries were real.
The tiger is the king of the mountains. Even if it is not a spirit, it can still fight mountain monsters and frighten demons. Like a cat, a fox, a deer, and a rabbit becoming a spirit, even if they have practiced Taoism for decades, they can only run away in fear in front of a tiger.
Most demons and ghosts, unless they have specially trained in fighting skills or developed ferocious supernatural powers, will really have no choice but to walk around when they see a tiger.
Even some tigers don't need to become spirits. They just live for a long time and become clever, so they can naturally understand the magical powers of the messengers and ghosts. Once you open your spiritual wisdom, you don't need to cultivate to the point of transformation, and you can have the ability to shake people's souls and drive all kinds of beasts. If your Taoism is a little deeper, you can come and go like the wind, have an indestructible body, and have the power to break mountains and crack the earth. Among all the monsters in the world, there are few that are so naturally good at fighting.
I heard that the tiger demons in Jinhe County were quite good at it. They had eaten countless people in previous wars, and then they tasted the sweetness and continued to eat people. I think they were quite capable.
There are also a group of wild tigers in the mountains at its disposal.
Such a tiger monster is really difficult to deal with.
Even if the swordsman is the best in the world, he may not be able to win easily if he has mastered the powerful and quick swordsmanship of Heavenly Thunder and is good at exterminating monsters.
"Ouch..."
I could faintly hear the roar of a tiger.
Song You stopped and looked up without saying anything, then quickly lowered his head and continued walking forward.
The little girl's expression became more solemn.
I had to look left and right until I saw the wolves hiding in the forest, and then I felt a little safer.
It's just not enough.
So he observed the surroundings while walking, until he passed by a place with many stones, then he nodded secretly, then formed a seal with his hands, and shed a stream of light towards the stones.
"Ask the mountain god to come out~"
"Rumble..."
The stones on the ground immediately rolled up and gathered into a stone man about one person tall.
Although he is about as tall as a human being, he is still very muscular and round in waist, and his waistline is probably not inferior to his height. No matter how hunky-backed a general is, he is far inferior to it in armor.
Moreover, the stone giant is made entirely of stones. Its entire body may weigh more than a thousand kilograms, and it is harder than the flesh. There is no doubt that if this thing were to run around, it would be difficult for anyone in the world to resist it. Not to mention those two arms that are thicker than most people's waists and as long as knees. Whenever they are swung, whether it is a human or a tiger, if it is hit, it will be turned into meat.
The little girl felt much more at ease now.
Suddenly there was a movement in the distance.
"Wow..."
"Ouch!"
There were sounds of fighting, branches and grass were shaking and rustling, and there were fierce roars of tigers and wolves.
It must be a tiger in the mountains. I don't know if it wants to attack the Taoist. It is discovered by the wolves, so they start fighting, and many wolves gather together.
Sanhua Empress also urged the mountain god to hurry over.
The movement there became more and more intense.
The rustling of the swaying vegetation was mixed with the sound of branches being broken.
The howling of tigers and wolves never stopped.
If a mortal were here, they would not dare to move for fear of being frightened.
The prairie wolves summoned by the wolf-calling flag are medium-sized among wolves, but they are all strong adult wolves. Each one is not small. Their claws and claws are about the same strength as ordinary wolves, but they are more ferocious and fearless. The stubborn ones who are easily bitten to death are not afraid of tigers when there are more of them. In addition, the mountain gods who are as tall as humans quickly force the tigers back.
The forest is so deep that the Taoist can't actually see the fighting.
Even if Sanhua Empress climbed up the tree, hugged the trunk and looked around, she could only see a few stars in the dense forest.
In addition, only the threatening roar of the tiger could be heard, which then turned into an angry growl, coupled with the howl of the wolf, making it even more noisy. Soon after, there was a movement of running in the forest, getting farther and farther. After a while, it turned into many scattered movements and returned to the group of people, and then it became quiet.
The stone giant is also back.
The little girl was still standing on the tree hugging the trunk, holding a flag in her hand, but she turned her head and stared at the Taoist seriously.
He didn't speak, just looked at him.
"..."
The Taoist pursed his lips and said naturally: "Unconsciously, Empress Sanhua was able to defeat the tiger easily."
"My wolf is fierce!"
"It can be seen that even if there are no wolves, Sanhua Empress can drive away the tigers only by relying on the mountain god."
"My mountain god is also very fierce!"
"It's Empress Sanhua who is so powerful."
The little girl's expression condensed and her breathing stopped.
I wanted to say something, but I couldn't.
In the end, I could only jump down from the tree, turn my head, and look away, pretending not to care.
The Taoist continued to walk and said as he walked: "I heard from Yanzi that there are many tigers in this mountain. We will have to trouble Lady Sanhua to protect us along the way."
"..."
The little girl couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Then he spit it out slowly.
It took a while for my heart to calm down.
He still didn't say anything, but his expression became more and more serious, and he paid attention to the movements in the forest without blinking. As a result, not even a small snake, not to mention a colorful tiger, could not enter the Taoist body.
Walk all the way to the top of the mountain.
This mountain is indeed the tiger's dojo. The number of tigers has increased significantly along the way, and the tigers that should be alone have a tendency to stick together here.
Sometimes mountain tigers actually form groups to attack.
Fortunately, Empress Sanhua has had the wolf-calling flag for more than a year, and she has been able to summon dozens of wolves, and she still has enough energy left to summon two mountain gods. With dozens of wolves and mountain gods working together, it is not difficult to fight off a few tigers. The most dangerous time was when the tiger had already rushed in front of the group of people. Looking at the huge and mighty body, Sanhua Empress was envious and shocked as if she had seen a real statue of a god in a big temple for the first time.
You should be afraid.
Who wouldn't be afraid of such a big cat?
However, thinking of what the Taoist had said before, thinking of Sanhua Empress's powerful magic power, and thinking of the Taoist priest behind her, she suppressed her fear, stepped forward in person, and breathed out the real fire, thus scaring away the tiger.
At this time, although the tiger has not yet become a spirit, it is almost ready.
Some tigers can still see scars on their bodies.
It looks like a sword wound.
The Taoist looked up again.
Being on the mountainside, I didn’t know how high the mountain was, but thinking about it, the top of the mountain wasn’t far away.
The Taoist has already smelled the evil spirit.
Then he smiled slightly and said to Empress Sanhua as she walked: "Empress Sanhua is great, don't you know why?"
"Why?"
"Actually, the tiger is the king of the mountain and the king of beasts. Some monsters who have become spirits, when they see a tiger, even if it is just an ordinary tiger, they feel weak and do not dare to fight when they see its power and ferociousness. Even many Taoists clearly change their mind. Even high-level monsters are frightened when they see a tiger monster that has just gained enlightenment, just like a mouse when it sees a cat. Even some tiger monsters that are clearly capable of defeating them cannot be defeated by this."
Looking at the Sanhua cat who turned to look at him blankly, the Taoist smiled and said: "Although Sanhua Empress is a cat, she is a cat god. I think she is so powerful and courageous that Sanhua Empress can Controlling fear and spitting fire at a tiger, although remarkable, was something I had expected.”
"Already expected..."
Sanhua Empress was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but take a deep breath again, and then spit it out.
At this time, I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled——
What is this Taoist priest talking about?
It's amazing, and it's already expected.
Isn’t it already amazing?
Wouldn't it be even more amazing?
I still had a little fear in my heart, but after hearing what the Taoist said, this little fear disappeared without a trace.
