Huwei Forest, close to the four cities of Rong, Gu, Qingyue and Yongli, is an excellent place for practitioners to train. On the outskirts of the forest, various mercenary teams can be seen coming and going all year round, hunting spiritual beasts or searching for spiritual materials. Some return with a full load, while others never return.
It was named Huwei because there was a fifth-level Xunfeng Winged Tiger deep in the forest.
As everyone knows, the strongest of the four cities is only at the Kaishi realm, capable of fighting fourth-tier magical beasts. They are truly powerless against this tiger. The tiger's imposing presence is so overwhelming that the people of the four cities can only choose to ignore it and refrain from entering the deep forest.
At this time, on the west side of the forest, near the inner area, between two towering trees, there was a net woven from vines hanging. A girl of about thirteen or fourteen was lying on it, her eyes closed, her red lips slightly parted, and she was snoring softly.
The warm midday sun struggled to pass through the layers of branches and leaves, and fell on the girl's quiet sleeping face, leaving behind mottled spots of light, which was magnificent.
It was as if this place was not the deep forest where magical beasts roamed and dangers lurked everywhere, but a home garden with leisurely scenery and the fragrance of flowers.
But at this moment, the grass not far away was parted, and a giant snake about ten meters long and covered in green swam over. As the snake's body squirmed, the power of the predator crushed over.
The giant snake stopped swimming in the vine net, and its long tongue moved in and out, as if confirming something.
The next moment, a cold and fierce light flashed in the snake's eyes, its huge mouth opened wide, a pair of long fangs stood up, and it bit the girl above.
The fishy wind blew on her face. The girl frowned, curled her lips in dissatisfaction, turned her head to the other side, and then fell asleep.
However, the giant snake lay still below with its mouth wide open, as if it was restrained by an invisible bond.
A trace of confusion flashed in the snake's eyes, and the snake began to struggle, swinging its body. The fallen leaves on the ground were swept up, making a rustling sound. But looking closely, the giant snake's imprisoned upper body did not move at all.
The giant snake seemed to have noticed this as well. A human-like fear flashed in its eyes. It no longer cared about the delicious food near the snake's mouth above and hurried to retreat.
It was also strange. When the python retreated, the restraints suddenly disappeared, and the giant python fell down with a "bang".
The giant snake raised its head and looked at the defenseless girl above. It moved its long tongue in and out, and fled from here at an extremely fast speed while swimming its body.
This girl is someone it can't afford to offend. If it continues to covet her, it will probably lose its life.
The summer insects were chirping softly, the sun was shining brightly, and everything was quiet and peaceful, until a tiger's roar, suppressed in its throat, sounded.
The mother tiger, more than ten meters long and covered with scars, fled with her cub, whose hair was sparse, in her mouth.
Behind the tigress, a group of people were following closely.
"Boss! If we keep chasing, we'll be trapped in the inner forest. What if we encounter a fourth-level monster..."
At the front of the crowd, the leather-clad mercenary leader froze in pursuit, then his expression grew serious. "No, we must capture that cub! Stop it!"
After saying that, the leather-clad captain bent his knees and flew to the top of a tree, pulling out a black iron arrow from his back, drew his bow, aimed at the tigress, and shot straight out.
The tigress's animal instinct made her whole body tense. Without hesitation, she suddenly stopped, adjusted her direction and rushed to the front right.
But what was strange was that the arrow, carrying a green light, turned in the air and pierced straight into the tigress's right hind leg.
"Mmmm…" The intense pain made the tigress want to roar, but she was concerned about the cub in her mouth and suppressed the impulse.
Staring straight ahead, sadness flashed in the tiger's eyes. The tigress dared not stop running. She could be hurt, she could die, but her cub could not!
The arrow wound was already deep in the bone, and the violent movement made the wound blurry and the bleeding continued.
"Damn it!" Seeing that the arrow did not stop the tigress as expected, the leather-clad leader cursed softly, mobilized his spiritual power, jumped a distance on the top of the tree, and drew his bow and arrow again.
But suddenly, in the direction of the arrow, where my eyes were looking, a person was sitting up, supporting herself on the net bed. It was a girl of... twelve or thirteen years old?
At the same time, Tigress also saw the girl blocking her way ahead.
Humans, hatred filled the tigress's eyes. It was all because of these damn humans. Otherwise, how could she and her cub have ended up in this state?
Almost instantly, the tigress increased her speed and charged straight at the girl who looked sleepy.
"Alright!" The leather-clad leader pumped his spiritual power into his arrow and cheered for the girl's appearance. "All members, speed up!"
As long as he could stop the tigress from running, even for just a moment, he would be able to capture her! As for the girl's life or death, what did it have to do with him?
At this time, the tigress had already rushed to the girl, but she jumped over her and tried to go over her.
It is true that it hates you, but now all it has to worry about is escaping and keeping its children alive.
Seeing this, the leather-clad leader frowned and aimed his arrow straight out, "Damn it! This tigress has no intention of stopping at all."
After saying that, he accelerated and hurried to catch up.
On the other side, the huge tiger's body blocked the light above. The girl opened her eyes wide, and the confusion in her eyes did not fade away.
"Bang...Crack..."
The first sound was the sound of the tigress's body suddenly stopping and falling, taking the girl with it to the ground; the second sound was the sound of the trees on both sides being broken by the huge force in the center.
Tigress: "..." What the hell? Why can't it move?
The leather-clad leader was also startled, but then he reacted: "...Quick, surround it!"
Without him saying anything, dozens of monks had already surrounded the tigress, with spiritual power gushing out of their hands, and smashed towards the tigress together.
The tigress could not move her limbs, so she had to lower her head, tuck the cub in her mouth under her body, and use her body to block the attacks.
"...Roar." A weak wail sounded, blood and flesh splattered on her back. The tigress's eyes dimmed a little. How could this happen? Her child...
"That's it!" The leather-clad leader walked into the crowd, drew the scimitar hanging on his waist, and walked forward step by step.
But at this moment, a faint voice came from under the tigress: "Please... lift your belly so I can come out, okay?"
"Roar!" Damn it, it's all your fault. Why are you blocking my way? Why is there this strange confinement?
Thinking of this, the tigress couldn't help but increase her strength. She couldn't survive anyway, and her children would be taken away by these humans. You little girl, come and die with me!
The leather-clad leader raised his eyebrows in surprise. How could this girl not be killed by the tigress?
"It's so heavy..." The girl's voice was faint, but she was trying hard to withstand the pressure from the tigress, and pulled away the tiger's body, revealing her upper body.
A look of surprise flashed in the tigress's eyes. It knew how much strength she had used. Even a second-level monster would be defeated by this force, and this girl... could actually crawl out?
Looking up, she saw a group of people around her. The girl was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand to greet them: "Um... hello?"
