"ah!"
Xu Qinglian stepped on a piece of gravel under her feet, became unstable, and fell to the ground with a cry of surprise.
"Qinglian, are you okay?"
A man in black stopped and asked. He is Ge Yijian, the son of the housekeeper of the Xu family who accompanied Xu Qinglian up the mountain today.
A roar came from behind, shaking all directions. The two of them felt the ground shaking slightly, fearing that they had caused a lot of trouble.
Xu Qinglian tried to stand up, but the burst of pain from her ankle made her grit her teeth. She must have accidentally sprained her foot just now.
"Brother Jian, please leave quickly and leave me alone."
Xu Qinglian took out a red herb from her sleeve and handed it to Ge Yijian.
"I don't want to get you in trouble. You can go down the mountain quickly and help me give this medicine to my father. It can cure his cold."
Ge Yijian looked at the herbs in his hand, then looked at Xu Qinglian with tears in his eyes, and said, "How can I leave you alone!"
After that, he tried to help Xu Qinglian get up.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qinglian pushed his hand away and choked: "Brother Jian, if you don't leave, the Fiery Bear will come after you, and we won't be able to leave by then."
She turned back to look at the furious beast and said, "Tell my parents something for me. Tell her that Lian'er is unfilial. If there is an afterlife, she will be filial to her father and mother!"
Ge Yijian also had a bit of a sore nose, looking at the girl he liked in front of him, he actually felt a sense of pride.
He pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted: "Lian'er, if I leave alone today, I will not be a man..."
Before the word "son" could be uttered, the heroic spirit was cut off by a fiery roar.
The ferocious beast in front of them stood upright in front of Ge Yijian and Xu Qinglian. It was several feet tall, its red fur stood up slightly, and its eyes seemed to stare at the two with angry fire.
"Lian'er, I..." Facing such a ferocious beast, Ge Yijian was so frightened that his legs and feet became weak, and his sword fell to the ground.
The Fiery Bear roared like thunder, causing the surrounding vegetation to sway.
It raised its bear paw high, and there was a faint glow of fire on it. The palm of the Cave Master-level ferocious beast is no less powerful than a full-strength strike from a strong human being in the Violent Qi Realm.
As if having a premonition that her fate was over, Xu Qinglian closed her eyes tightly, while Ge Yijian held his head tightly with both hands.
But the imagined pain never came. Xu Qinglian secretly opened her eyes a crack.
I saw a golden back appear in front of me. The person raised his arms above his head and tightly grasped the falling bear paws.
"Brother Jingfeng..." Xu Qinglian opened her eyes wide and looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.
Jingfeng heard Xu Qinglian's soft call, turned his head and tried his best to smile at Xu Qinglian.
Liehuo Xiong didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would come out halfway, and the opponent was obviously a human being, so he seemed to be stronger than him.
Fiery Bear roared, and slapped Jingfeng firmly with his other palm.
If an ordinary person received this slap, his flesh and blood would be bruised and he would definitely die. But when it hit Situ Caifeng, it was like a collision with gold and stone, not even a mark was left.
"You evil beast, how dare you hurt Lian'er!"
Jingfeng shouted, raised his arms upward, and pushed away Fiery Bear's palm. Then his strength surged, golden light flourished all over his body, and he punched forward with both fists. An overwhelming force only made the Fiery Bear retreat again and again.
"Brother Jingfeng, I knew you wouldn't break your promise." Xu Qinglian said to Situ Caifeng's back.
"I'm sorry Lian'er, I'm late." Jingfeng turned around and said apologetically, not daring to look directly at Xu Qinglian.
Xu Qinglian shook her head, with a smile on her face.
Ge Yijian looked at Jingfeng in shock, and the other party also looked at him, but didn't say anything.
Jingfeng turned around and saw the repelled Fiery Bear fighting back, and said, "Hurry up, this evil beast is back again!"
Ge Yijian's face turned pale. When he saw Situ Caifeng here, he stood up and ran back without hesitation.
"Lian'er, please leave quickly. I'll stay here to break up the relationship."
Jingfeng urged, he knew that if you provoke a cave master-level ferocious beast like the Fiery Bear, it will basically fight you to the death.
"Brother Jingfeng, my feet...were sprained when I was running just now." Lian'er said with a frown.
Jingfeng didn't bother to check Lian'er's injuries now, because Liehuo Xiong launched another offensive.
Jingfeng ran forward a few feet, trying to keep the ferocious beast away from Xu Qinglian so that he could use his skills.
He took out the hatchet from his waist, rolled to avoid the beast's stampede, and slashed at the Fiery Bear with all his strength, only to find that a few hairs fell off the Fiery Bear's body.
The Fiery Bear discovered that the human was behind him, turned around and swatted at Jingfeng with both palms.
The sound of howling wind sounded in Jingfeng's ears, but Fiery Bear clasped his hands together and struck the air, causing boundless air waves.
Jingfeng took this opportunity to jump up and found the right moment to insert the hatchet directly into the Fire Bear's most vulnerable eye.
The Fiery Bear suddenly felt pain and roared crazily, waving its paws in front of it randomly.
Jingfeng couldn't dodge and took a few slaps from Liehuo Xiong. Although there were no substantial scars on his golden body, he could still feel the severe impact and pain.
"Brother Jingfeng, this fiery bear is actually..." Lian'er shouted, as if she wanted to say something.
Jingfeng turned around to hear Xu Qinglian's words, but when he was distracted, the furious Lihuo Xiong grabbed Jingfeng firmly, then turned him upside down, knocked his head down, and slammed him to the ground.
Jingfeng was beaten to a pulp, and his head suddenly became dizzy. If he hadn't cultivated a golden body and had a strong physique, his head would have blossomed.
"Brother Jingfeng!" Xu Qinglian screamed and tried to stand up.
In a daze, Jingfeng saw Lian'er moving towards him and quickly shouted: "Lian'er, don't come over!"
He found the opportunity for the Fiery Bear to lift him above his head. He exerted force on his abdomen and kicked his legs back hard. He actually fell backwards to the ground with the Fiery Bear. This shows how powerful Jingfeng is.
As children who also have the talent for cultivation, the average child has basically completed the tempering and shaping of the body by the age of twelve. Through tempering themselves and external forces, the body becomes suitable for the movement of true energy. However, until Jingfeng was eighteen years old, he had not yet practiced Qi at the request of his master, and was still tempering his body. Therefore, his physical strength was much stronger than that of ordinary practitioners, and his arms could weigh up to 100,000 kilograms in a flash. force.
Jingfeng brought down Liehuo Xiong, stood up like a carp, and took out the ancient whip from his waist.
While Liehuo Xiong was about to get up, Jingfeng put one foot on the ground and jumped up several feet.
He untied the cloth wrapping the ancient whip and raised the royal weapon above his head. The exquisite Ran Yiyu pattern on the ancient whip looks particularly vivid in the sunlight.
Liehuo Xiong struggled to support his body, and Jingfeng had used all his strength to hit Liehuo Xiong's head.
This blow seemed to contain the power of thunder, mixed with a sound of "whoosh--" breaking through the air, carrying the mighty wind, and hit the flaming Tianling Cap firmly.
There was just a "click" sound, and the ancient royal weapon passed down from his father whom he had never met in Jingfeng's hand broke into two pieces when it hit the head of the ferocious beast.
And this unlucky Fire Bear, a majestic cave master-level monster, suffered such a blow from Jingfeng, who was as fierce as a humanoid beast. His body twitched from head to toe as if it had received an electric shock, and its huge body fell to the ground. There was no sound either.
Xu Qinglian quickly covered her mouth. She looked at the flaming corpse not far away, her expression seemed a little dull.
"Huh...it's finally over." Jingfeng exhaled a long breath, and the golden color on his body was slowly dissipating under his skin.
Seeing that Xu Qinglian was fine, his tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
"It's okay, Lian'er." Jingfeng walked towards the girl.
"Let me see how your injury is doing."
"Brother Jingfeng..." Xu Qinglian burst into tears and hugged Jingfeng with tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry Lian'er. It's all my fault. I came late."
Jingfeng gently touched Xu Qinglian's back and kept apologizing to the girl.
"No, brother Jingfeng, this fiery bear..."
Xu Qinglian said intermittently.
"This fire bear is still pregnant. We were planning to secretly take the fire ginger grass and leave..."
Situ Caifeng listened patiently to Xu Qinglian and understood the whole story.
It turned out that in the afternoon, Ge Yijian accompanied Xu Qinglian on his behalf to go up the mountain to collect a medicine called fire ginger grass. The doctor in the village said that this medicine is very effective in treating colds. Xu Qinglian asked the village sacrifice spirit and found out that this precious medicinal material grew in the flaming cave, and this kind of cave master-level ferocious beast was beyond the ability of the two of them to deal with.
It happened that the male bear was out looking for food, and there was a pregnant female bear and a cub in the cave. Ge Yijian took advantage of the mother bear to rest and secretly picked the fire ginger grass, but when he walked back, he was discovered by the curious bear cub.
Ge Yijian was afraid that the movement of the bear cub would wake up the female bear. Although Xu Qinglian repeatedly said not to harm the bear cub, Ge Yijian was too panicked and stabbed the bear cub to death with a sword.
It was precisely this that led to the two of them being chased by a pregnant female bear, which was an accident.
Jingfeng sighed and said, "Oh, now that it's over, I can't regret it anymore."
"Lian'er, let's go home. I'll find a chance to bury this female bear and her cub later."
Xu Qinglian nodded and hugged Jingfeng's neck tightly.
"Xiao Nizi, it almost makes me feel bad!" Jingfeng nuzzled Xu Qinglian's nose, making her burst into laughter.
Jingfeng carried the girl on his back, tied the two severed ancient whips on his belt, and walked down the mountain.
At this time, a cry for help and the roar of wild beasts came from another direction, which seemed to be filled with great anger and sadness. Like a sudden thunder, the birds and beasts in the forest were startled and scattered, and the ears of both of them were buzzing. ring.
"It's Ge Yijian's voice, and Fiery Bear." Xu Qinglian said to Jingfeng.
"I can't save him with you now. I have to send you down the mountain first." After saying that, Jingfeng's skin turned golden again, and his body functions were greatly improved.
But from a distance, I could only see a figure running towards this side, followed by a huge red-haired human bear that was two feet tall. It must be another male bear.
"Why did this guy bring the Fiery Bear back?" Jingfeng frowned and said in an unhappy tone.
