Jiang Yan ordered Qi Yu and the others to pluck and clean the fierce tiger beasts, then marinate them with salt for six hours, and then roast them on the fire.
When the meat is roasted just right and the moisture has just been removed, the meat is hung on a branch to dry.
The little dwarf dragon looked at the strings of fragrant bacon hanging on the branches and praised Jiang Yan: "Jiang Yan, I really have you!"
Bai Tao also praised: "Yes, Jiang Yan, I didn't expect you to make jerky!"
On the other side of the Fierce Tiger Beast's territory, the rest of the Fierce Tiger Beasts couldn't help but become anxious when they saw that their leader and several warriors had not returned.
They sent the little Fiery Tiger Beast, who was usually very knowledgeable about information, to see what was going on.
The small Fierce Tiger Beast, with its keen sense of smell and deep memory of the leader's scent, easily tracked the traces of Jiang Yan and his party.
It sneaked into the trees silently and saw the plucked leaders and mummified warriors hanging on the branches, and it couldn't help but feel terrified.
The soles of the little Fierce Tiger Beast's feet slipped, and his body almost fell out of control, but his instinctive desire to survive allowed him to stabilize his mind in an instant.
Without any hesitation, it immediately turned around and hurried to its territory to inform the tribe of the terrible news.
As soon as it entered the territory, it panicked and shouted loudly: "Something bad has happened! The leaders and warriors have all been plucked and hung up to dry into dried meat!"
The old fierce tiger beast's voice trembled, and his tone was full of disbelief: "What, what did you say? The bodies of the leaders were plucked and hung?"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. The yellow dragon and its human partners are guarding over there." The little tiger hunter said with certainty.
A thin tiger beast roared angrily: "They are provoking! Provoking!"
"Save your saliva. If you don't have the strength, you can only send it to that dragon as a snack." Another fierce tiger beast sneered.
"That's right, didn't you see that the strongest leader of the Silver Wolf, our leaders and the warriors all died under that dragon?" Another fierce tiger beast agreed.
The thin Tiger Beast was immediately drowned out by the accusations from the other Tiger Beasts.
It wisely closed its mouth and silently stepped aside, feeling both angry and helpless in its heart.
The news spread quickly, and not long after, the news that the leader of the Fierce Tiger Beast and the eight great warriors died tragically at the hands of the yellow dragon spread among all the monster beast groups.
As a result, the little dragon's reputation spread to every corner of the monster forest, and no ferocious monster dared to challenge him anymore.
As expected, Jiang Yan and his party did not encounter any more dangers during the rest of the journey.
Five days later, Jiang Yan and his party finally drove out of the vast monster forest.
Jiang Yan rode his black motorcycle and said with emotion: "This monster forest is so vast. It took us five full days to get out."
Bai Tao suddenly said: "Jiang Yan, we are about to pass through the Flame Mountains. Do you want to stop and discuss countermeasures?"
Jiang Yan asked doubtfully: "Flaming Mountains? Is the risk factor there very high?"
"The Flame Mountain Range, it is recorded in the ancient scrolls, that its peak will erupt with scorching flames every hour. The ground is dry and cracked, the heat wave is so high, even standing on it is a problem. What's worse is that once we monks step into the Flame Mountain Mountain, our cultivation will Will be suppressed and become no different from ordinary people in an instant...
Bai Tao described the dangers of the Flame Mountains to Jiang Yan in detail.
After Jiang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked. Is this new secret realm intended to eliminate some people before the monks test it?
Thinking about it this way, it seems that they did not meet the disciples of other sects in the monster forest.
Jiang Yan asked curiously: "Bai Tao, do other sects also have test quotas for the new secret realm?"
Bai Tao slowly explained: "It is true. Each of our major sects has twelve quotas. But because it is a new secret realm, not many disciples may be willing to go there. They are more inclined to choose those secret realms with higher levels and well-known reputations. It’s not this unknown place that hasn’t been rated yet.”
"In this case, we might as well stop first and discuss a strategy on how to pass through the Flame Mountains safely." Jiang Yan suggested.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yan had already taken the lead to stop the motorcycle, followed closely by Bai Tao and Xiao Dwarong, each braking.
Qi Yu and others also harnessed the sword light and fell from the sky, landing around Jiang Yan and others.
Jiang Yan asked: "We are going to pass through the Flame Mountains soon. Do you have any suggestions?"
Qi Yu thought for a moment and then said: "We should prepare more talismans in case of emergencies. In addition, carrying enough water bags is also key."
The other disciples nodded in agreement: "Yes, we think so too."
"Okay, let's all get ready."
Afterwards, Jiang Yan greeted Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, come here!"
Xiaobai meowed dissatisfiedly: "Meow meow meow..." You'd better be in trouble!
Jiang Yan didn't take it seriously and took out a pair of small boots, a pair of exquisite cat claw gloves, a set of silver cat-shaped armor, and a mini sword from the storage bag.
The corners of his mouth raised, and a hint of joking flashed in his eyes: "Hey, Xiaobai, it's time to give you some equipment."
Jiang Yan picked up Xiaobai and quickly put on all the equipment for him.
"Meow meow meow..." Xiaobai struggled eagerly, but couldn't get rid of Jiang Yan's control.
After putting it on, Xiaobai is no longer the same Xiaobai as before, he... turned into a majestic "Puss in Boots".
What a cool word!
Jiang Yan nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, that's right. This way, even if you enter the Flame Mountains, you won't be easily burned."
Xiaobai's armor is made of the skin of the big snake, which is cool and has certain defensive power.
Xiaobai couldn't put it down with the sword on his paws. It imitated the posture of a human monk, waving the sword in a graceful manner.
This scene happened to be witnessed by several disciples.
"Brother, look over there! That cat named Xiaobai is actually a good swordsman!" A disciple pointed at Xiaobai in surprise.
"Stop yelling, I saw it too, didn't you feel it? It is a cat with cultivation." Another disciple said.
"Cultivation? Why can't I feel it?" The disciple scratched his head in confusion.
"It seems you have to practice more, otherwise I can show off even a cat in front of you." The senior brothers joked one after another.
Xiaobai didn't notice the little episode here, but continued to act cool on his own!
It was already thinking about how to show its majesty in front of Dahuang after thinking about it. It is determined to put rhubarb's suitors to shame with its unparalleled handsomeness!
