Chapter 3 Bet
After the fight just now, the liger became more cautious, and its huge head actually turned light red due to congestion. It was obvious that the anger was overwhelming. Xiao He saw it and knew that he could not let the fight go without giving the liger a chance to breathe. Taking the opportunity, he spread out his body and attacked again.
In this round of frontal attack, Xiao He avoided the fierce and powerful claws of the liger while flipping his wrist, hitting six or seven vital points of the liger in succession. However, the skin under the liger's bristles was extremely hard. Xiao He thought that the steel folding fan in his hand was a sharp weapon. At this moment, not only did it not hurt the beast in front of him at all, but he felt a sharp pain from the shock to his mouth.
At this point, Xiao He began to think about a way out for retreat.
While dodging the bite of the liger, Xiao He looked at the swamp on the side with his peripheral vision, and he had a plan in his mind.
I remembered that when I was hunting with my father when I was young, I heard adults mention that lions have smooth intelligence and do not know water, while the weakest part of a tiger is its nose. The half-lion, half-tiger beast in front of him must not know the nature of water. Thinking of this, Xiao He came up with a plan.
During the fight, Xiao He's momentum dropped, and he retreated while fighting. As expected, the liger seized the opportunity and pursued the victory.
Xiao He reproduced the Dengyun leg technique and tapped his toes on the layer of rocks floating in the swamp. He only thought about the huge body of the liger, and the rocks must not be able to bear its weight.
Xiao He thought like this, and used the three-fold movement of a swallow to fly over the swamp, and flew to stand on a tall tree beside the swamp. Just when he wanted to see the miserable situation of the beast in trouble, he turned around and saw a huge The figure covered the sky and rushed over. Xiao He had no time to react. He only felt that his two shoulders received a heavy blow. The tree trunk broke immediately, and Xiao He was thrown to the ground by the liger beast.
At this moment, Xiao He didn't have time to regret that this beast had learned the ability to run in the swamp. He quickly raised his hand to open the folding fan of his steel frame and propped it up on the bloody mouth. The sharp fangs of the liger were now an inch away from Xiao He's eyes. In desperation, Xiao He said angrily: "You are an invulnerable beast. I have been beating you for a long time and I forgot to check whether you are a male or a female!"
After saying that, Xiao He mobilized the energy in his Dantian and settled it on his right foot, and kicked the beast's fifth leg vigorously. As expected, the liger didn't care about Xiao He. His eyes were bloodshot in pain, and he wailed, then did a backflip, fell to the ground and rolled. When Xiao He saw this, he quickly flew over and kicked the liger dozens of times in the belly. The liger was kicked so hard that it had no time to parry, so it got up and ran away towards the mire. Xiao He was still willing to let it go. As soon as the liger ran to the edge of the mire, Xiao He flew up and straddled its neck. Xiao He grabbed it with his left hand. The liger's head was pushed down hard, and the huge head was pressed into the mud. The beast immediately choked on the water and started to struggle. Xiao He did not give it a chance to breathe, and pushed his wrist back hard. , raised the head out of the water, and then, Xiao He held the folding fan in his right hand and used all his strength to stab the liger's nose from mid-air. Sure enough, he hit the target with a single blow, and a thick column of blood It spurted out, and when I looked at the liger again, its eyes were wide open with anger, its orifices were bleeding, and it had already been killed.
After confirming that the beast was dead, Xiao He turned over and lay on the grass, breathing heavily. He was still frightened by the battle just now.
After lying on the ground and resting for a while, the sky gradually darkened, the miasma in the valley became more intense, and the visibility became lower and lower. Xiao He's stomach growled at this time. There was another wry smile, and Xiao He laughed at himself: "I couldn't find the two seniors, but I ended up in such a mess."
After saying that, Xiao He turned his head and glanced at the corpse of the liger beast beside him, and said with a smile: "That's all, this valley is filled with miasma, and I can't find the direction for a while. I'll roast you beast and eat it first, and then think of a solution." Find those two seniors."
Xiao He said, the folding fan flew up in his hand, he chopped down a bunch of branches in a few strokes, and took out flint from his arms to set up a fire. Although this beast was made of steel and iron when alive, it was worse than a sick cat when it died. Xiao He chose the softest part of the belly to cut, and the cold light from the iron fan in his hand spread, and he disemboweled the beast in three or five strokes. .
Xiao He excitedly put the meat on the fire and only waited for a while before he could feast on it. Taking advantage of the time when the meat was not yet cooked, Xiao He crossed his legs, sat on the ground, closed his eyes and rested. After a while, his earlobes moved slightly and his eyes suddenly opened. Xiao He knew that something was coming towards him again.
Without any time to think, Xiao He turned his head and slashed the folding fan in his hand. A black figure fell to the ground. Looking closely, he saw that it was a vicious wolf. Before Xiao He had time to check, there were two "swish" sounds, and two more evil wolves flew out from the weeds to bite. Xiao He did not stop at all, spread out his body and kicked each other, and the two evil wolves immediately flew out again. .
Xiao He had just stood firm when the scene in front of him shocked him. The three wolves that had just been hit hard had already stood up and looked at him with eager eyes. Not only that, through the gaps between the weeds, pairs of eyes Under the miasma, there was a slight green light, like a searchlight. Xiao He roughly counted more than forty pairs of eyes.
This is not two or three wolves, but a pack! There are forty or fifty of them!
Xiao He thought, these wolves were much more difficult to deal with than a liger. Could it be that they were attracted by the aroma of barbecue? He never imagined that the smell of barbecue would attract a pack of wolves after he had just eliminated a powerful enemy.
Without any time to think about it, the wolves in the grass came out one by one, and the huge open space was immediately surrounded by water. Only then did Xiao He see clearly that this was not a group of ordinary evil wolves. The fur of the leading wolf glowed slightly, making it look very ghostly in the dimly lit valley. Xiao He had heard his father's friends mention that many animals were blessed with a unique environment. Under certain conditions, it can be transformed into a human form, and the body of this wolf can already emit a slight cold light in a fighting state, which is a sign of mana vibration. This shows that this wolf has at least three hundred years of Taoism!
Xiao He had only thought that this statement was a legend in the past, but who would have thought that he would see it with his own eyes today? For the first time, a trace of panic arose in his heart, and a slight sweat broke out in the hand holding the iron fan. If this pack of wolves He has really been practicing for a hundred years and he is invincible no matter what. Could it be that he is really going to die from this today? He thought so in his mind.
Just when Xiao He was despairing, a strange yet familiar voice suddenly sounded:
"A bunch of ungrateful beasts, get out of here quickly and don't disturb me!"
The wolves were already ready to attack. After hearing this sound, the leader of the wolf pack showed a panicked look. He no longer cared about Xiao He, turned around and ran away with the wolves, and soon disappeared into the tall grass. among.
Xiao He was wondering when another strange and familiar voice appeared again:
"Little doll, come here!"
As soon as the voice fell, the miasma in front of him suddenly spread to both sides, revealing a clear path. Xiao He then responded that the speakers were the two weirdos he met today, so he followed the miasma without thinking too much. The path between them flew past.
After a long time, the path gradually opened up. Calculated by Xiao He's foot strength, he had already traveled dozens of miles. The miasma had disappeared, and a huge lake came into view. The lake's surface was sparkling, and it was like the round in the clouds. The bright moons shine on each other, which really corresponds to the word "Yingyue".
On the lake, two figures were more than a hundred meters apart, looking at each other.
There was a person on the left, dressed solemnly, and his black outfit looked very clumsy. He looked forward with a gloomy face; a person on the right was in rags, with only a gourd around his waist glowing with yellow light in the dark night. . Both of them stood on the lake. There was no ripple in the water, as if it was still.
Sure enough, the two people who just spoke were the two weirdos that Xiao He had seen during the day, the Madman and the Drunken Monster. Seeing this, Xiao He did not dare to disturb them and watched them silently.
This silence lasted for a long time, and the madman said: "Old man, you and I have fought for five hundred rounds, and we are still indifferent. What do you think we should compete with?"
Hearing what the epiphany said, Xiao He had time to look around, and then he realized that the surroundings seemed to have experienced a very tragic battle involving tens of thousands of people. Everything he could see had turned into ruins, with broken mountain peaks and tumbling sand and gravel. , the towering peaks were devastated, and only the calm Yingyue Lake was left, which seemed so out of place. Only then did Xiao He understand that in the city just now, the two of them had some scruples and did not use one ten thousandth of their true strength. These two people were probably more terrifying than they imagined.
The drunkard laughed and said: "In the past five hundred years, you and I have competed in everything we can. Are you really not tired?"
The demon said angrily: "You say it, as long as you say it, I dare to compete."
The drunkard glanced at Xiao He, who was standing on the shore with a look of astonishment on his face, and said, "It's not interesting for the two of us to fight each other. How about we compare ourselves with our disciples?"
Diaman thought for a while and said, "Just tell me, how can we compare?"
The drunkard said: "I will teach this little kid. How about you choose another apprentice. Twenty years later, our apprentices will fight it out and decide the outcome in one battle. How about it?"
Epilepsy said, "Why don't I dare? It's just that you can't choose first. I want to teach this little baby, and you choose someone else to teach it." As he spoke, Epilepsy flew to Xiao He's side.
The drunkard also flew over with a wry smile and said, "Look how you look like an old man, you are clearly like a child, okay, it's up to you! Just teach this little kid. When the ten-year appointment comes, I will definitely learn how to do it." I will bring my apprentice to meet you again." After that, he said to Xiao He, "Little boy, we are destined to meet each other. I am a poor old man, so I will give you this wine gourd to keep in mind!" With that, he raised his hand and put it in his mind. The gourd was thrown to Xiao He, and Xiao He caught it dully, still in a daze, and couldn't figure out why for a moment. When I asked again, the old man flew away, leaving only a row of shadows on the lake, and disappeared in an instant.
"Well, with your martial arts skills as a mortal, you can kill that liger that has lived for nearly a hundred years. You are barely qualified to be my apprentice, so I will teach you!" After the demon finished speaking, he walked forward on his own. .
"Senior actually knows about this?" Xiao He asked in shock.
"There's nothing strange about this. With the cultivation levels of me and that old guy, it's not difficult to spread consciousness throughout this valley!" said the demon.
"I see. I didn't expect that beast to live for nearly a hundred years. Thinking about it this way, I feel a bit guilty!" Xiao He said to himself.
"You don't have to be obsessed with this matter. Most of this valley doesn't see the sun, but it accumulates the extremely yin energy of the moon all the year round. It is a treasured place for training for wild beasts. It is precisely because the old man who is the wine monster values this place and chooses it as a training place. , the ferocious beasts here don’t dare to cause trouble, if it weren’t for the control of that old thing’s barrier, I’m afraid the surrounding human society would suffer!”
"I didn't expect that some of the legends I heard when I was young were actually true!" Xiao He said.
"You don't know that there are still many things in this world. Fortunately, you are young and have a lot of time to experience!" After the demon said this, he turned around and left without caring about Xiao He.
Xiao He smiled bitterly. He originally wanted to enter the world alone, but who would have thought that as soon as he left home, he would accidentally recognize a master. It didn't matter, it was just a mistake. Thinking of this, he followed the madman and walked over.
