On a cold night, the deep mountains and ridges were pitch black, with numerous trees and steep rocks standing like ghostly shadows. Only the natural cave that collapsed at the bottom of the cliff revealed a glimmer of light.
It was the bright light coming from the thunder stripes on the leopard's body. The mother leopard and her cub were sleeping in the cave.
"Here we come!" Taoist Xuan'an, who was hiding behind a boulder on the opposite side of the slope, said to his disciple Wang Gou, who was walking quietly behind him.
"Master! Go back and rest!" Wang Gou came to take over. This has been the case every day for more than half a month. He and his master, Taoist Xuan'an, took turns watching the nest at the bottom of the cliff.
"If there is any abnormal movement, immediately activate the spiritual talisman to inform the master. The master will be here soon!" Taoist Xuan'an warned before returning to the outpost.
For matters such as the daily morning meeting and the arrangement of patrol personnel, Taoist Xuan'an still needs to personally come forward to deal with these matters. He will wait until noon and then come to replace his disciple Wang Gou.
"Don't worry, Master, my disciple knows!" Wang Gou replied.
"You have worked hard these days. If it weren't for your help, I would not be able to free my hands. When your master gets the letter, he will come over and catch these three thunder leopards. I will ask for credit for you!" Taoist Xuan'an patted Wang Gou's shoulder and said with relief.
"Master's words are serious, this is what a disciple should do!" Wang Gou said hurriedly.
"Counting the days, in just these few days, your master will bring people here. Okay, we will have to work hard for a few more days. Watch closely and don't get distracted!" Taoist Xuan'an nodded and said, not forgetting it before leaving. A word of caution.
"Disciple knows!!" Wang Gou nodded repeatedly.
About a quarter of an hour after Taoist Xuan'an left, five people walked out of the forest behind. It was Taoist Yanfeng Xia Houwu who had come from the mountain gate day and night, his wife Tang Rou, his disciple Xia Houpeng, and Lingya. The two deacons of the post are Xiahou Pian and Xiahou Lu.
"Disciple Wang Gou pays homage to all the seniors!" Wang Gou hurriedly greeted them in a low voice.
"Uncle from the second clan! This is Wang Gou, the person my nephew placed next to Wang Ping. It was this son who revealed the news about Lei Guangbao to his nephew." Xia Houpian introduced.
"That's right! I won't treat you badly when you work for my Xiahou family. This "heart-breaking pill" is yours!" This news is too important and too timely for Xiahou Wu. He will not hesitate to take action. It is a "heart-breaking pill".
"Thank you, senior, thank you, senior!" Wang Gou took the elixir with both hands and said with excitement all over.
The Xiahou family is worthy of being a big family. They are generous, and they are willing to use a "heart-breaking pill". It is really wise for me to choose to reveal the news this time. How can I get such benefits by following the Xuanzi lineage?
With this "Heart-Breaking Pill", Wang Gou's heart, which had no hope of building a foundation in this life, couldn't help but feel ready to move again!
…
In the cliff cave nest, the female leopard huddled up peacefully in a pile of hay and was sleeping lightly with her eyes closed. The two cubs were clustered under the female leopard, also sleeping soundly.
"Aw, ow!" Suddenly the female leopard's ears stood up, she opened her eyes suddenly, and roared outside the cave.
Outside the cave nest, several figures suddenly appeared, surrounding them and blocking the long and narrow entrance of the cave.
It was Xia Houwu and the others who, using the high-level hidden breath talisman, slowly touched the outside of the lair until they heard the faint sound of footsteps outside the cave entrance, which alerted the female leopard in the lair.
"You stay outside, Rou'er, follow my husband into the cave and capture it alive. Don't hurt this leopard." The entrance of the cliff cave is narrow on the outside and wide on the inside. It is not deep. You can see the scene inside the cave clearly at a glance. Looking inside, you are anxious. Xia Houwu said excitedly to the uneasy female leopard who was growling at him.
Afterwards, Xia Houwu and his wife walked step by step towards the female leopard at the bottom of the cave. Xia Houpeng, Xia Houpian and Xia Houlu guarded the entrance of the cave to prevent the Lei Guang leopard from escaping out of the cave. The three big Lei Guang leopards, two small ones, All need to be captured alive.
"Dang!" As Xiahouwu and his wife approached step by step, the mother leopard, protecting her two cubs behind her, swooped out.
However, Xia Houwu swung out a crimson crystal shield, which instantly enlarged and turned into a floating giant shield. The female leopard bumped into the giant shield and was knocked away instead.
The name of this shield is "Molten Lizard", which is a sixth-grade high-level spiritual weapon. It is smelted from red flame crystal, molten rock, and high-grade tungsten iron. The spirit of "Lava Lizard" is imprisoned as the weapon spirit, and three high-level weapons are built inside. Inscribed with "Iron Wall", "Weapon Transformation" and "Shield Flame", it is a fine defensive weapon.
By activating the "Shield Flame" inscription, the entire spiritual shield can burst into blazing flames. In order to avoid injuring the female leopard, Xiahou Wu deliberately turned off this inscription after he sacrificed it to avoid burning the female leopard.
This female leopard is a treasure and must not be injured!
"Hit!" Before the female leopard could stand up after being knocked away, Xia Houwu made a secret with one hand and displayed the advanced spell "Lingyuan Forbidden Hand".
A huge palm composed of a large amount of spiritual energy appeared above the female leopard's head, fell instantly, and pinned the female leopard under the giant palm.
"Zi, Zhi!" The female leopard was firmly pinned to the ground by the giant spiritual palm. After struggling, she let out a low roar and activated the innate spell "Electric Surge".
A burst of bright light burst out from the female leopard's body, and twisted blue light and electric light gradually appeared all over her body. The huge electric current instantly penetrated the giant palm composed of spiritual power.
Dozens of rays of lightning struck at Xiahou Wu and his wife who were not far away. Xia Houwu waved his hand, and the molten lizard shield floating beside him instantly turned into a fire shield and flew out, blocking the rays of lightning one by one.
His wife Tang Rou took the opportunity to sacrifice a ball of green light. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a beast net glowing with green light.
The beast net spread out in the air and covered the female leopard in the blink of an eye. The trapped female leopard struggled hard, but it was in vain. This net is a high-level magic weapon made of rare lightning protection vines. It is the power of thunder and lightning.
Moreover, this net is extremely tough. With the blessing of Tang Rou's magic power, the female leopard cannot break free at all. It is a sharp weapon that Xiahou Wu took out from the clan treasury and specially used to capture this leopard. It can be seen that it is indeed very useful.
"Chi, chi!" Seeing that the mother leopard was trapped, the two cubs trembled and stood in front of the mother leopard, screaming at Xia Houwu and others.
"Don't be afraid, little ones, I won't hurt you." Xia Houwu, who was walking towards the female leopard under the net, couldn't help but said excitedly.
At this time, Xia Houwu had a "Soul Prison Talisman" in his hand. He only needed to step forward and put this Talisman on the forehead of the female leopard, and then apply magic power to assist it, he could seal the soul of the beast and make the beast trapped. In a coma, capture this rare thunder leopard alive.
"Bang!" At this moment, a huge change occurred, and a thick black shadow suddenly appeared out of thin air above the cave and headed straight for Xiahou Wu.
Xia Houwu suddenly woke up, and immediately activated the molten lizard shield floating on the side, turning into a wall of fire blocking the front. The black shadow slammed into the wall of fire, and the violent collision shook the entire cave.
The thick black shadow was pushed back, and then its true form was revealed. It was actually a giant black snake with a fan-like head and vertical pupils on its forehead.
There are neck wings on both sides of the snake's head, which tremble slightly from time to time. Together with the snake's spitting and inhaling, it makes bursts of unsettling hissing sounds.
"Poof!" At the same time, Tang Rou, who was fully controlling the beast net, also had a twisted figure appear behind her. Before Tang Rou could react, a claw shadow struck from behind.
The amulet he carried instantly turned into a spiritual shield, but it could not resist the claw shadow, and the sharp claws came out from behind and penetrated the chest.
This sharp claw was actually a black-gray human hand covered with fine scales. The hand that came out of the chest was holding a still beating and bloody heart. Blood gushed from Tang Rou's mouth, and she stared at it in horror. , the heart in front of her that originally belonged to her.
"What a pity! She is such a beauty!"
The figure that suddenly appeared clung to Tang Rou, hugged her from behind, hooked one hand on Tang Rou's smooth neck, stuck out his head from behind, stretched out his long tongue, and licked Tang Rou's delicate face.
He suddenly pulled out the other hand from his chest, looked at the beautiful woman who collapsed on the ground and twitched constantly, and murmured.
Only then could he see the full face of this person. He was a strange man with snake-like eyes and thin scales on his forehead.
This man was thin, with a long and slender gray tongue, which poked out of his mouth from time to time, like a snake's letter. He held a bloody heart in his hand, with a sinister smile on his face. He slowly raised his hand, and in front of Xia Houwu and others After eating the noodles, he started to eat the heart in his hand one bite at a time.
The sudden change, coupled with such a bloody scene, made Xiahou Wu and Xiahou Pian stunned for a moment. Before they noticed, there were sword lights rising around Yagu, forming an encirclement and flying towards the bottom of the valley.
Only Wang Gou, who stayed on guard in the middle of the mountain, saw this scene immediately.
"Master, Master!" Wang Gou was about to shout to remind the uncles at the bottom of the valley when footsteps suddenly sounded from behind. When he turned around, he was frightened to death. The person who came was his master Xuan Andao. people.
