"Boss, Boss, how are you..."
"Boss, are you okay? How are you injured? Boss, you can't die. What will we do if you die..."
"Medicine, give the boss some medicine to heal his wounds..."
The mercenary group members rushed towards the leather-clad leader on the ground, and for a while, there was a lot of noise.
In the golden light shield, the mother tiger's eyes were so resentful that Yu Bie Liu was embarrassed to play with the little tiger.
It wasn't like she was deliberately trying to make Tigress worry. It was more about keeping secrets from everyone, lest they get targeted. If you laid your cards out in the open, would they still be considered cards? So, it definitely wasn't some kind of wicked prank on her part.
As for the several defensive magic weapons... She finally lived in this world and she didn't want to die so early. However, this world was too dangerous. She was afraid of death and had low cultivation, so she had no choice but to use some external means.
In the past six months, in addition to body training, she also helped several old men solve some problems, and by the way... no, she received some rewards such as prohibition of evil and golden light shield.
After brushing off the dirt on her body, Yubieliu stood up holding the little tiger. The golden light reflected on the girl's fair skin, adding a sense of nobility.
"This shield has pretty good defense, and the effect of rebounding attacks is also okay, but it's too bright and dazzling." Yu Bieliu said with some disgust in his tone.
So she prefers something a little more restrained, not only in color but also can be used as a hammock, how convenient!
Tigress: “…” People like you will get beaten sooner or later, do you believe it?
Outside the hood, the leather-clad leader spat out another mouthful of blood upon hearing this.
Amidst the screams of the other members, the leather-clad leader wiped the blood from his mouth and stood up. Actually, his injuries weren't as serious as they looked; they were mainly caused by anger.
After all, I'd finally broken the magical artifact with such effort, and with such confidence, I was about to kill the tigress. Now that I had the magical artifact, you suddenly appeared with another shield? Even a ten-thousand-year-old turtle only has a shell, right?
Pushing aside the person blocking him, the leather-clad leader looked at Yubieliu, who was shrouded in golden light, and asked through gritted teeth: "Who are you?"
In the four nearby cities, even a third-level magic weapon would cause people to scramble for it, but this girl had several fourth-level magic weapons, or even fifth-level ones!
Such a person is definitely not an ordinary person!
Touching the tiger cub in her arms, Yu Bie Liu looked up at him with a faint smile: "If it were anywhere else, I wouldn't dare say that others would recognize me, but in these four cities... My last name is Yu, and my given name is Bie Liu."
"The Rongcheng Yu Family?!" The leather-clad leader's pupils shrank. No wonder, no wonder there are so many magical weapons.
It was eight years ago that Yu Bie Liu's name became known to all the cities. During these eight years, her name had been mentioned countless times and everyone envied her.
As everyone knows, talent plays a significant role in a cultivator's journey. Even if a cultivator becomes a master, someone with mixed spiritual roots will never achieve fame. Some, even worse, may be born without any spiritual roots. Only those with a single, clear spiritual root can advance further on the path of cultivation and reach higher realms.
Spiritual roots are graded from one to nine, with one being the lowest, mottled and disordered, and nine being the highest, rarely seen. Based on their attributes, they can be divided into five basic categories: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, with variations such as wind, thunder, and light.
In the four cities, a disciple with a third-grade single spiritual root is already considered a genius and the backbone of each family, but this Yu Bie Liu... is a seventh-grade mutant wind spiritual root.
Logically, such a talent would be kept secret by the family. Every family has its own conflicts. Once exposed, this genius would be targeted by the enemy until his death.
However, when Yu Bie Liu was testing his talent, a great master from Yantian Sect happened to pass by... Yantian Sect was one of the nine major sects on the continent, surpassing the family and was a real powerful force!
Then the young lady transformed herself into a direct disciple of the elder of Yantian Sect. At this point, it no longer mattered whether her talent was exposed or not.
Because no one would be willing to risk offending Yantian Sect by attacking a child, unless they want to bring disaster upon their family.
The leather-clad leader was about to vomit blood again. After all this fuss, not only did he get nothing, he even got himself into big trouble. Damn it, why didn't you tell me earlier?! If I knew your identity, would I dare to touch you? Huh? You have to play the pig to eat the tiger, right? Fun? Your brother-in-law, I, I'm so @#%*...
He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and waved at everyone: "Let's go back!"
According to Yu Bie Liu, she still had the same defensive magic weapon, but they had exhausted their spiritual power just by breaking this shield. There was no point in staying any longer.
Even if they could break Yubieliu's shield, what would it matter? This was the inner reaches of the Tiger Power Forest, not their own backyard. If a fourth-level spirit beast suddenly appeared, how could they stop it with their spiritual power depleted? Furthermore, knowing Yubieliu's identity, the mere mention of the Yantian Sect made them afraid to kill.
This operation was a huge loss. Not only did they lose manpower, but they also failed to capture the tiger cub. Most importantly... they offended the people of Yantian Sect. The leather-clad leader was extremely worried.
The mercenary group members all looked depressed, but they had no choice but to follow their boss and leave.
But suddenly, a green wind blew from afar.
"Leave? Can you get away?"
A deep and powerful voice came from a distance, followed by a deafening tiger roar.
The strong green wind uprooted the trees and turned into several whirlwinds that surrounded the group.
But the strange thing was that there was not even a trace of wind around Tigress and Yubieliu.
"Aohou!" The tigress roared towards the sky, and all the emotions in her eyes turned into relief, as if she had finally found a pair of arms to rely on.
The next moment, a giant tiger with six wings growing from its ribs and nearly twenty meters long appeared in the sky. The tiger's body was majestic and tall, with black and yellow stripes interlaced, and it looked very mighty.
At this moment, the giant tiger's eyes were wide open, burning with rage.
"This is... Xunfeng Winged Tiger, the Tiger King?!" Someone said this, and in an instant, the entire mercenary group exploded.
There is only one Xunfeng Winged Tiger in the Huwei Forest, and there is only one Tiger King!
Everyone felt fear, deep fear. No one wanted to face a beast that could tear them to pieces at any moment. So what if they were cultivators? In front of a higher-level spirit beast, cultivators were nothing more than prey.
Under the pressure of the Winged Tiger, the Leather-clad Captain barely managed to stand. His face covered in sweat, he spoke tremblingly, "...Tiger King, we had no intention of intruding into the inner circle. We were simply chasing prey... I hope Tiger King will let us go for the sake of the Four City Lords."
"No intention? Chasing prey? Letting you go?" The Winged Tiger opened and closed its jaws, descending from the sky with a domineering tiger gait, stopping in front of the Leather-clad Captain. "You injured my wife and attempted to capture my son. Tell me, what are the penalties for these two crimes?"
