Tie Hu went out and returned within less than one stick of incense. He said solemnly: "In some circumstances, I found fragments of the corpse. It should have been frozen into ice sculptures and then exploded. The two junior brothers who were with me died in the same way. , it must be the ice python! From this point of view, the movement during the day was caused by the ice python!"
"Ice python! Then aren't we in danger?" Zhou Yang said in surprise.
"It may not be nearby anymore, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back, at least not in this area." Tie Hu said with lingering fear.
"Since the ice python has appeared, those people should not dare to stay here." Zhou Yang analyzed.
"What should we do?" Tiehu asked.
"We have to leave quickly. We don't know when the ice python will appear. If it comes, this cave won't be able to protect us."
"Okay, let's go."
The appearance of the ice python broke their previous plans and forced them to leave. But it was the appearance of the ice python that made Zhou Yang realize that the people from Jubaozhai would no longer appear near here, or even around Daqing Mountain.
There must be no golden elixir masters in Jubaozhai, and even the leader of Ziyuan Sect is only at the peak of Tianyuan Realm. As for whether there is a golden elixir realm hidden in the sect, he doesn't know. As long as there are no golden elixir masters in Tu Yancheng, the ice python can run rampant in Daqing Mountain without any hindrance.
"By the way, senior brother, did you say that the ice python and the red flame horned tiger killed each other?"
"Yes, what I saw with my own eyes was this ice python?" Tie Hu said thoughtfully.
"I think it should be, and it won. The adult red flame horned tiger will probably end badly."
"Two high-level fifth-level monsters appeared in Daqingshan at the same time. It's a bit abnormal. I don't think it's a good thing." Tiehu said worriedly.
"Yes. But we have to leave quickly to avoid being a snack to the ice python." Zhou Yang nodded.
Tie Hu and the others exited the cave first. Zhou Yang hesitated for a moment and did not follow, but walked deeper into the cave.
When he came out again, Tiehu cast a questioning look.
Zhou Yang nodded sadly.
Tiehu scratched his head first, then suddenly seemed to understand something, then he no longer hesitated, turned around and left.
"I will come back to visit the two elders from time to time!" Zhou Yang looked back at the giant tree, and then followed closely.
This place is very secretive and cannot be easily discovered by others. Moreover, Tu Yan is the hometown of his parents, so they must not want to wander around. Returning to their roots is the best destination. But there is no suitable place in Tu Yan City, so this mysterious tree hole is the best place for the soul to rest.
After two days of recuperation, Zhou Yang's injuries had recovered a lot. He was able to use some of his energy and could barely pass through the teleportation array.
The three of them followed the marks made by Zhou Yang and headed towards the edge of the dense forest. I didn't meet anyone or any monsters along the way. It seemed that the ice python was too intimidating, but where did it go?
The ice python became a sharp sword hanging over their heads, and it would fall down at some point.
About an hour later, the mark suddenly disappeared. The forest was swaying here and there, and there were a lot of bloodstains around it. There must have been a fierce battle. But looking at this situation, it doesn't look like a fight between cultivators. Could it be that the ice python and the red flame horned tiger are having another battle here?
Zhou Yang made the mark on the tree. Many big trees in this area fell down, so the mark naturally disappeared.
"It doesn't matter, I still know the general direction." Zhou Yang looked around and said after a moment.
They moved forward in a certain direction for nearly an hour.
"Our direction seems to be off. There are no signs along the way." Zhou Yangwang reached out and patted the trunk of a big tree and said.
"Little Yangzi, there is a corpse of a monster ahead!" Tiehu suddenly shouted.
Not far in front of them, there was indeed a monster lying down.
"Go and have a look."
"It's the Red Flame Horned Tiger cub!" Tiehu said in surprise as he quickly approached.
This young tiger is not too big, slightly smaller than the green wolf. Its fur is light yellow, the pattern on its forehead is red, and there is a single horn in the middle of its head.
This is Zhou Yang's first time to watch the Red Flame Horned Tiger up close.
"Why did he die? What a pity. What a pity. This is my mount!" Zhou Yang shook his head with regret on his face.
"This is the cub of a fifth-level monster. The things on it can be sold for a lot of spiritual stones!" Tiehu said as he drew out his sword and prepared to collect materials.
"Ah! He's not dead!" However, the next moment, he suddenly became frightened and raised his sword to strike at the young tiger.
"Senior brother, stop!" Zhou Yang said urgently.
Tiehu put down his raised sword and retreated hastily. He was chased by the young tiger.
The cub's chest heaved and his eyes opened. He tried to stand up, but his limbs moved and fell to the ground weakly.
Zhou Yang approached, but the dying tiger cub showed a fierce look in its eyes and growled lowly. Zhou Yang had no choice but to stop and spread his hands to show that he had no weapons and no ill intentions, and then said to the young tiger: "I won't hurt you, but I want to save you." He didn't know whether the young tiger could understand, but The beast continued to stare at him fiercely, obviously not understanding.
After a moment of confrontation, the young tiger lowered his head feebly, as if he had no strength at all.
Zhou Yang slowly walked closer, touched its back with his hand, and patted its head, but there was still no movement.
The tiger cub had a deep wound on its chest and its hind limbs were also seriously injured. However, there was not much blood around Shusen, so it seemed that the injury was sustained elsewhere. Moreover, the wound on the chest of the cub does not look like it was caused by a monster, but rather like it was stabbed by a long sword.
At this time, the cub lost too much blood and was afraid that it would die.
Seeing that the beast just opened its eyes and had no other reaction, Zhou Yang took out two pills from his body, one of which could restore vitality and the other could stop bleeding and heal injuries. They were both obtained from He Dongluo. Are monsters useful?
He called Tie Hu over, helped lift the cub's head, opened its upper jaw, and then put the elixir into the cub's mouth. Zhou Yang was afraid that it wouldn't be able to swallow it, so he directly put the elixir into its throat and poured some water into it.
After doing all this, Zhou Yang tore his robe again and wrapped the cub's wound, but the cub's eyes slowly closed.
Zhou Yang's heart sank. Could it be that he was seriously injured and died?
He touched the chest of the young tiger with his hand. It was still rising and falling weakly. He should not be dead, but he only had one breath left.
Zhou Yang frowned and lowered his head in thought.
Seeing this, Tie Hu also frowned and said, "We are leaving Tu Yan City, how will we take care of this sick tiger? Besides, we are not sure whether he will survive or not!"
"What should we do?" Zhou Yang smiled bitterly.
"Do you really want to save it?"
"Of course, senior brother has something to do?"
"Although he has taken the elixir, even if it is effective, he will definitely not recover in a day or two, and he will also need a lot of food. We can get him to the cave in Fenghuang Valley, beat him two wild boars and put them in." Tiehu suggested.
"Senior brother, you mean to let him fend for himself! What if he is eaten by other monsters?"
"Is there any other way?"
"Brother, I'm very attached to this beast, and I really want to conquer it. Besides, the Phoenix Valley area should be very safe. What do you think, let's wait for him there for a few days?" Zhou Yang said, looking at Tiehu.
"You can do whatever you want, I'll listen to you." Tiehu had no choice but to do so.
"Thank you, senior brother. Liu Tong, you carry it."
Liu Tong trembled. "I, I'm carrying it. If it wakes up, I'll be dead!"
"If you don't bear it, you will die now!" Zhou Yang threatened.
"I, I carry, I carry!"
Tiehu put the cub on Liu Tong's back, and Liu Tong held it steady with his only remaining hand. He reluctantly stood up and slowly walked forward with the two of them.
After finding the marker, it was a smooth ride. After about half a day, they returned to the cave in Fenghuang Valley.
After arranging the cubs, Tiehu went to hunt wild boars, while Zhou Yang and Liu Tong stayed in the cave.
Inside the Jubaozhai in Tuyan City.
"What? Gao Feng died, and he also lost several guys!" The big shopkeeper glanced at Gao De coldly.
Gothe looked mournful, not daring to raise his head, and said in a trembling voice: "After they killed our people, they entered the dense forest, and maybe they were swallowed by the ice python."
"Huh, if I had known this, why did I do it in the first place! I am indecisive and hesitant. It seems that leaving Jubaozhai in charge of you is a big mistake!"
Hearing this, Gao De was agitated and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"This matter will be discussed later. You said they discovered the red flame horned tiger and the ice python one after another?" The big shopkeeper changed his tone and asked again.
"yes."
"It's a bit abnormal for two high-level fifth-level monsters to appear at the same time. I heard from the Tong family that the monsters in the mine are also active and have injured many people."
"Big shopkeeper, is that..." Gothe's face turned even paler.
"You mean the beast tide? By the way, can you see the number of monster beasts in Daqingshan increasing?"
"It has not increased. Instead, it seems that there are fewer people frightened by the ice pythons. As for the beast tide, I, this subordinate, are just guessing."
"What is reduced is the monster beasts in Daqing Mountain. There is no guarantee that the monster beasts in the wasteland will not appear. Regardless of whether it happens or not, our people will withdraw first. Don't leave the city during this period. Zhou Yang's is released in advance. The top priority is to analyze it as soon as possible. Those scraps of material.”
"As commanded."
At the top of Ziyuan Sect, in the main hall of the Presbyterian Council.
"You beheaded the Red Flame Horned Tiger cub, and there is an ice python in the forest?"
"Yes. The disciple did stab the cub, but it ran away." Lin Dongcang reported to Elder Wang. He did not say that the cub had been injured earlier.
"If there are young tigers, there may be adult horned tigers near Daqingshan. So why did Jubaozhai pursue Zhou Yang?"
"Disciple, I don't know." Lin Dongcang said respectfully.
"After all, Zhou Yang is also a former disciple of the Ziyuan Sect. Jubaozhai wants to hunt him down. Aren't you afraid of offending our sect?" Elder Wang lowered his face, and then asked suspiciously: "Could it be that Zhou Yang has a valuable treasure on his body?
"Disciples are also doubting this. Also, there is news from the mine that Zhou Yang's friend Tie Hu has left the mining area, but he has not returned to the sect yet."
"Yeah?"
"Exactly. And I suspect that the three people from Dongluo and Zhou Yang and his party had a fierce battle." Lin Dongcang said.
"A group of people? You mean Tie Hu and Zhou Yang are together."
"It's very possible that Zhou Yang is definitely not alone. Zhou Yang and Dong Luo should have also been injured by the ice python." He Dongcang analyzed.
"Fetch Zhong Pengfei."
"Yes, elder."
