Chapter 167
Looking back at the red land that was instantly shrouded in thick white fog, Gu Shihan couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.
However, she has always been mentally strong, and her emotional fluctuations were only fleeting, and she quickly adjusted her mentality.
Yu Tong came forward with a bright smile and said, "Sister, this space seems to have undergone some wonderful changes! The air is filled with an increasingly fresh and lively atmosphere, which makes people feel so comfortable!"
Hearing what Yutong said, Gu Shihan nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then after a little thought, he asked: "Yutong, do you want to go out with me?"
Yutong nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course we have to go out!" The two of them, along with a little fox Xingbai, left the space together.
The moment they stepped out of the space, they immediately felt a noticeable difference when their feet landed on the ground.
It turned out that the place where they were at the moment was a narrow canyon with a radius of only a few dozen feet.
Compared with the previous red land space, the environment here seems more cramped, but it has a different scenery.
The thick white fog above my head has disappeared, replaced by a clear blue sky.
Looking up, the clear blue sky and floating white clouds seem to be within reach, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Xing Bai quickly released his spiritual power, carefully sensed the surrounding situation, and reported: "Hanhan, after my investigation, there is nothing special about this place. However, as far as I know, there is a powerful lion-tiger beast about ten miles away from us. Its rank is not low, and its cultivation is roughly equivalent to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm of human cultivators. I wonder if we should go and meet this ferocious beast?"
Hearing this, Gu Shihan raised her eyebrows slightly and asked with interest: "So, is there any rare treasure or secret worth exploring in that place?"
Xingbai wagged his tail, moved his ears and said, "I haven't really figured this out, but since there's such a powerful monster there, maybe there's something hidden around it."
Yu Tong's eyes sparkled, and she pulled Gu Shihan's arm and said, "Sister, let's go and take a look. Even if there are no treasures, it would be good to see some powerful monsters. It's boring to come here and not encounter any monsters that are worth your attention."
Gu Shihan looked at Yutong lovingly, then looked at Xingbai: "Then let's go over there and have a look."
The two men and the fox walked towards the direction Xingbai said. The closer they got, the more they felt a sense of oppression.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past, accompanied by a deafening roar.
A gigantic lion-tiger appeared in front of them, emitting a fierce aura and staring at them fiercely.
Gu Shihan unconsciously took a small step back, while Yutong clenched her fists excitedly.
Gu Shihan blocked Yu Tong behind him and secretly gathered spiritual power in his hands.
The liger seemed to sense Gu Shihan's hostility, roared again, and pounced towards them.
Gu Shihan cast a spiritual shield to temporarily block the lion-tiger beast's attack. A great battle was about to begin.
Gu Shihan knew very well that fighting head-on was not the best strategy. The strength of the lion-tiger beast was there, and the combat power of the monster was definitely higher than that of a human cultivator.
Gu Shihan maintained the shield while looking for the lion-tiger's weakness.
Yu Tong also calmed down, took out a spiritual bow from the storage bag, put on her natal rocket, and aimed at the lion-tiger beast.
Xingbai ran around the lion-tiger, trying to distract it.
The liger kept scratching the shield with its claws, and every impact consumed a lot of Gu Shihan's spiritual energy.
At this moment, Yu Tong seized the opportunity and shot an arrow. The sharp arrow cut through the air and headed straight for the lion-tiger's eyes.
The liger sensed the danger and dodged sideways, but was still scratched on the cheek. This completely enraged it, and it gave up attacking Gu Shihan and turned to pounce on Yutong.
Seeing this, Gu Shihan quickly removed his shield, formed seals with his hands and cast a spell. Countless vines emerged from the ground and entangled the limbs of the lion-tiger beast.
Yu Tong took the opportunity to jump onto the back of the liger and punched it hard. The liger struggled in pain, but it was difficult to break free from the vines.
Gu Shihan took advantage of the situation, gathered all his spiritual power in his palm, and slapped the liger beast on the head. The liger beast howled, fell to the ground with a bang, and was silent.
Gu Shihan took out a dagger, dug out the inner elixir of the lion-tiger beast, and sent the body of the lion-tiger beast into the space, handing it over to the puppet to deal with.
"Hanhan, hurry up, the fight just now attracted several big guys, when did this Tianshui Secret Realm become dangerous?
When Gu Shihan heard this, his face changed slightly. A lion-tiger beast made the three of them fight together. What the hell are these few beasts? They must be defeated. Thinking of this, he pulled Yutong away.
However, the monsters behind him were extremely fast and were about to catch up.
Gu Shihan gritted his teeth, took out a few talismans from his arms and threw them behind him. In an instant, a burst of strong light and impact force burst out, slightly blocking the monster's pursuit.
"This is not a solution." Gu Shihan frowned and looked around. He found a valley in front of him with a faint mist at the entrance. "Let's try to hide there."
After the three rushed into the valley, they found that there was a different world here, with strange flowers and plants all around, and some stones emitting soft light. But at this moment, they had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery, because the monster also chased into the valley.
At this moment, the flowers and plants in the valley seemed to be stimulated and suddenly grew wildly, tightly entangling the monsters.
It turned out that Xingbai accidentally triggered the forbidden formation in the valley.
Taking this opportunity, Gu Shihan took Yutong and Xingbai to find a hidden cave and hide in it.
After the three of them hid in the cave, they dared not even breathe. Listening to the roar of the monsters outside the cave and the rustling of the flowers and plants, their hearts were in their throats.
After a long time, the outside gradually quieted down. Gu Shihan carefully poked his head out to check, only to see that the flowers and plants had trapped the monster tightly, temporarily eliminating the threat.
"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Who knows if there will be other dangers." Yu Tong said.
Just as they were about to leave the cave, a melodious flute sound suddenly came from deep in the cave. The sound was ethereal and graceful, as if it had a magical power that could captivate people.
Gu Shihan frowned slightly and murmured to himself in confusion, "Xingbai, Yutong, in my opinion, this place must be the legendary Tianshui Secret Realm. Why is there someone playing the flute in this secret realm? Could it be that a cultivator is stranded here for some reason?"
"Sister, I feel that this strange flute sound doesn't sound like it was played by a kind person. It makes me feel creepy when I hear it."
She looked around nervously, as if something terrible would jump out of the darkness at any moment.
