Birds are chirping in the forest, and strange insects and beasts in the bushes are waiting for the opportunity to hunt. Even the natural prey is absolutely alert here.
However, after the flames at Zhang Qing's fingertips ignited several wild beasts, the area around him became quiet.
"No wonder the previous practitioners thought that there might be fragments of thirty-three days in this Yanping Mountain."
Zhang Qing, who often climbs several peaks around Chihu Lake, can naturally see the harmonious nature inside Yanping Mountain. This is a static state that is impossible to have in a crowded place, and it is most loved by those who practice asceticism.
Of course, if the aura of heaven and earth here could be stronger, I'm afraid it wouldn't be Zhang Qing's turn to comment here.
boom!
There was a sound not far ahead, and a huge tree that needed two people to hug fell to the ground and landed in front of Zhang Qing.
He stood there without moving, but it frightened the middle-aged man who had a wide field of vision because of the fallen trees.
"I didn't break you, did I?" The man quickly ran to Zhang Qing, looked around him up and down, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why are you, a young man, here in the mountains? Don't you know how dangerous it is here?"
Zhang Qing ignored the other party's words, but looked at the fallen trees and asked, "What are you doing?"
The man was a little confused, "Chopping down trees? Although the weather is getting warmer now, we still need firewood at home, and the excess can be sent to the town to sell."
"But my family is relatively wealthy recently. I don't plan to sell these trees. I plan to build a hut in the mountains. Then I won't have to live in the open."
The man spoke of his inner longing, with satisfaction in his eyes.
Zhang Qing looked at the man in front of him in confusion. The man did not show any fear. Other than that...
"Did you know there are monsters in Yanping Mountain?"
"Monster?" The man shook his head, "How could there be a demon? If there were a demon, I would have been hunting for twenty years and cutting down trees for twenty years. The demon would have ripped out my heart and lungs to eat me. ”
Zhang Qing's eyes became even more curious, and then he said something.
"Then you know that you are actually dead?"
Hearing this, the man looked a little confused, but the next moment, his breathing became more and more rapid, his face turned pale, and his body retreated backwards uncontrollably.
Fear spread in his eyes, and the disappeared memories began to tumble in his mind, "Am I dead?"
"I'm dead. I died in the mouth of a demon." The aura in the man's eyes gradually dimmed and he fell to the ground.
Zhang Qing was still standing where he was, but in no time to breathe, the man who fell to the ground twisted his limbs and got up again. His big face was pitted with white maggots drilling in and out.
"Roar!" A roar erupted from the ferocious face, startling hundreds of flying birds overhead and flying into the sky.
Amidst the roar, the man rushed towards Zhang Qing at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people. The impact from the pavement was enough to make many people stand in a daze.
"The maximum strength is the third level of Qi training." Zhang Qing's eyes were calm, and a red flame burned in the palm of his hand, and it fell in the direction of the man.
As if feeling the terror in the flames, the man instinctively twisted his body, but his speed was still too slow compared to Zhang Qing.
The moment the crimson flame touched the man, it spread all over the man's body. The man who had been dead for who knows how many days completely lost the possibility of attacking. Wails continued to burst out from his mouth, but he could not stop the burning of the flames on his body. However, In a moment, it turned into ashes.
From the beginning to the end, Zhang Qing stood still and did not move. He looked around, and at some point, all the chirping of birds and beasts that should have been in the mountains disappeared.
"The rightful owner has arrived."
Hidden in the shadows, under Zhang Qing's gaze, a colorful tiger that was three feet tall and exuded an earthy color came out. It stared at Zhang Qing with its eyes fixed on Zhang Qing. It didn't even touch the dead branches with its claws. No sound came out.
"Are you the demon responsible for the chaos in Yanping Mountain?"
Zhang Qing responded with a deep roar full of greed.
"You are at the sixth level of qi training, and you can't speak yet. It seems that you have not been born with spiritual wisdom for a long time."
"That mortal just now shouldn't be considered your ghost, right? What about those practitioners who came to kill you before?"
A deafening roar ripped apart all the weak branches and leaves around him. Even Zhang Qing was slightly distracted by the roar.
Vaguely, five looming shadows surrounded Zhang Qing from the front, back, left and right. They were the five monks who came to kill the demon.
But in the end, they all became the demon's rations, and even became the puppets driven by the other party.
"How dare you shine like a demon?!" With a cold snort, red flames bloomed in Zhang Qing's eyes. At the same time, with him as the center, flames appeared out of thin air in the void within ten meters.
"Heavenly fire is boundless, explode!"
Hundreds of flames condensed with mana exploded like fireworks, and violent shock waves spread in all directions. In the turbulent smoke and dust, the flames condensed again, turning into a fire snake dozens of times long and wrapping around Zhang Qing's body. The raging fire In the middle, the snake's head flexibly points forward.
The roar of the fire snake and the angry roar of the tiger monster rang out in the dust at the same time. Zhang Lang made a hand seal and released a scorching wind to disperse the surrounding dust. He saw that the two claws of the tiger had been scorched black without knowing it, and the rich The aroma of meat hits your face.
As for the headless demon at the fourth level of Qi training, he has already disappeared.
The flames surrounded the void, and eventually turned into two less ferocious flowing fires covering the ground around Zhang Qing, moving with his footsteps.
"Did your inheritance give you the magic to create ghosts? If so, you have no value in my eyes."
Zhang Qing kept getting closer, and the tiger roared like a threat, struggling to get up from the ground.
However, with its two forelimbs missing, it could not struggle to get up even when Zhang Qing was five meters away. It was still lying on the ground with its majestic eyes reflecting Zhang Qing's figure.
"If you can be more special, you can survive." The flames under his feet slowly condensed in his palms, and Zhang Qing was now certain that this monster was just an ordinary person who was lucky enough to have his intelligence opened.
Just when he lowered the flame in his hand and planned to kill the monster, a ray of earth-yellow light suddenly shot out from the tiger's mouth and hit Zhang Qing's face.
At a distance of only five meters, the earth-yellow light arrived almost instantaneously. Just as it was about to blow Zhang Qing's head to pieces, a wisp of blazing energy exploded around the latter's waist.
There were slight cracks on the red jade pendant, and only then did Zhang Qing see clearly what the earthy yellow light was.
A yellow bead the size of a thumb.
"Demon Pill, what kind of spiritual wisdom did you eat to create a baby? Can you actually condense the Demon Pill in the middle of Qi training?"
Looking at the fierce tiger whose eyes were gradually dimming, Zhang Qing guessed that this was the opponent's last resort.
For many demons, demon pills are their last resort, but this does not satisfy him.
"You will get this result if you put yourself in danger." The flame fell from the palm of the hand, penetrated the tiger's head, and then ignited the tiger's whole body. The raging flames did not need more help. After a while, there was only A tiger skeleton with an earthy yellow shimmer.
