Three demons, do you mean there are two more besides the man in black robe who controls the Hunjia Beast?
That man in black robe actually used monsters to do things, which shows that he is definitely not a kind person. And his kung fu seemed to be extremely high, so Li Boxen thought he would not be his opponent. If there were two more, there would probably be even less chance of winning.
But at this time, he would not be afraid of it. When facing monsters in the snowfield, what chance did you have of winning? But when fighting, as long as you adapt to circumstances, there will always be a way. If we only judge victory or defeat based on our cultivation level, there is no need to fight the battle.
The trees at the foot of the mountain were relatively sparse and had not been knocked down by the monster, so he could not see any trace of the monster on the road. But after entering the forest and running for a while in the direction pointed by the old man, I saw downturned trees. Li Bochen followed this trace all the way up the mountain. After a while, he heard the low roar of a monster coming from a rock wall in front of him.
The armored beast had roared loudly before, but now it sounded like a tiger or leopard making a threatening sound. Li Bochen clenched his dagger, picked up a broken branch from the ground, and slowed down his pace to walk around the rock wall.
There is a small piece of flat ground in front of the rock wall, and the green-black Hunjia beast is standing on the flat ground. The beast was in a strange state at this time - it kept growling, and trampled the broken trees with its four paws, but it did not move away. The crocodile-like head kept arching against the rock wall, as if it was looking for food.
Li Boxen looked towards where it arched and found that there were several stone cracks on the rock wall. The larger ones could accommodate one person. The Hunjia beast was so powerful that it had already collapsed part of the stone crevice, but the rock was harder than the trees after all, so it had no choice.
His heart brightened, and he called out, risking alarming the beast: "Sister Hong?"
Sure enough, someone's voice came from the cracks in the rocks: "...Who?"
It was Ye Yinghong's voice. Li Bochen originally thought her voice should be frightened and hasty, but now she sounded calm, indicating that she was fine for the time being. He breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "Sister Hong, it's me. I'll lure this beast away, and you can find a chance to run away!"
But Ye Yinghong didn't respond. Maybe you are still worried about his identity.
Suddenly, another clear female voice came: "You won't survive if you do that. This thing is called a Hunjia beast. It is very strong and can run fast. Now my grandfather and I have temporarily restrained it, so it is so obedient. But If you disturb it, I'm afraid it will be dead in a short while."
Li Boxen was shocked and immediately raised his head and found a girl wearing black fur standing on the top of the rock wall.
Shopkeeper Sun said that there were three demons. He had been careful when looking for them, paying attention to the traces of those three people, but he never found them. Now this girl is on top, but he didn't notice it before.
Li Bochen realized that this girl was no ordinary person. Maybe she was one of those three people.
He took two steps back and said in a deep voice, "Is your Excellency using this monster to harm people?"
The girl stood on the top of the rock wall with her hands behind her hands, looking at him with a half-smile. If a strong man stands like this, he will have some heroic demeanor. If you are an old person, you will appear calm. For a beautiful girl to do this, she should have looked cute and cute, but the words she just said and the look on her face made Li Boxen feel evil.
"It's not me who controls this thing, it's him." She said as she reached out and pointed in the distance.
Li Bochen looked in the direction she pointed and found a piece of blue rock in the forest about dozens of steps away to the east, with a black shadow on the rock. The black shadow was originally covered by the trees. He just took two steps back and could just see it through the gaps in the trees.
It was a man in black robes, sitting upright with his eyes closed, his hands forming a seal in front of him, as if he was practicing martial arts. Taking a closer look, I found that the area around him seemed to be caught in a small whirlwind, with snow powder flying and branches dancing wildly. However, the strange thing is that no sound came from it.
Li Bochen frowned and found a touch of red on the snow beside the bluestone. It's not blood, but it looks like... that little fox!
After thinking about it for a moment, he felt that he had roughly figured out some of the situation.
That little fox should be the incarnation of the Wujing Mountain Tiger, but now it looks like it was killed by the man in black robe. But the tiger is a spiritual god, and can also be regarded as a Yin spirit with cultivation. Although the incarnation dies, the spiritual spirit is not destroyed. He should be fighting with the black-robed man in his Yin spirit form right now, right? I'm afraid that there will be more than a hundred Yin soldiers "borrowed" from me to fight together.
And the girl on the rock wall said that she and her grandfather had restrained the Hunjia Beast... Could it be that these two people were not the same as the man in black robe?
But Li Bochen just wanted to save Ye Yinghong. Now that the Hunjia Beast is controlled by this girl, it can be left alone. As for what these people were planning in Wujing Mountain, he didn't want to get involved.
Therefore, he said in a deep voice: "Girl, since you are acting righteously, why not move this beast farther away. I have saved people and will leave immediately."
The girl smiled slightly: "We don't have that ability. To control it is to tell it not to move, but we can't control it."
Li Boxen said: "Then please do me a favor and ask me to lure it away."
The girl looked at him with a smile for a while, then said: "Friend, I advise you not to get too troubled. This monster is the center of the formation set up by the monster. By controlling this formation, we weakened his formation. If the monster is alerted, the formation will be complete again. If the monster is killed, the formation will be gone. Neither of the two results is what we want."
What she said was so convoluted that Li Bochen couldn't understand it for a while, and he didn't know why the girl told him these things. But what he understood was that the other party did not care about the life of Ye Yinghong who was trapped in the crevices of the rocks.
After the girl said these words, the smile on her face disappeared and became expressionless. She was condescending and had a calm and calm demeanor, but there was a hint of contempt in her bones.
Li Bochen sneered: "What if I insist on killing it to save others?"
The girl curled her lips: "Okay."
I don't see what she did, but the beast seemed to suddenly break free from some restraints, roared, and turned its head sharply. As soon as it saw Li Bochen, its pair of small pale yellow eyes immediately widened, it vomited a fishy smell and pounced towards him!
Li Boxen didn't expect that the girl on the rock wall would let go at will, which would be the same as letting a beast kill people. But he didn't have time to think of anything else. He just threw the branch in his hand into the monster's mouth and yelled: "Beast! Come on!"
The monster's mouth opened wide, and branches were being thrown into its huge mouth. But once it was opened and closed, the branch as thick as the wrist shattered. When Li Bochen threw the branch, he had already used his strength to dodge behind a big tree with both feet, and climbed up more than ten feet with his arms.
But this tree was only as thick as a person's arms. When the Hunjia beast pounced on it, the tree was immediately broken. It stretched out its two front paws and raised its head to bite the person on the tree. The upper part of the tree fell towards the monster. Although Li Boxen had jumped up quite high before, the monster was huge, and now his position on the tree was only at the same level as the monster's head.
He set his heart straight, stepped twice on the fallen tree trunk, and jumped on the monster's head!
