Hearing the ghostly cries from inside, Liu Xiaoyuan stood frozen at the doorway. The path ahead was the only way through, and if he were to turn back now, all the effort he had put into breaking that illegitimate Xuan Gang Heavenly Killing Formation would have been for nothing.
If you forge ahead recklessly, and there turns out to be a menace inside, releasing it would be a terrible mistake.
Faced with this dilemma, Liu Xiaoyuan was at a loss. Now, he finally understood the difficulty of standing at a crossroads.
Moving forward is not an option, nor is retreating; caught in a dilemma, like riding a tiger and finding it hard to dismount.
Of course, the best way is to go home, and nothing will happen.
But Liu Xiaoyuan was unwilling to give up. He had gone through so much trouble to get here, only to turn back. Who would be willing to do that?
"Roar!" The monster inside roared again, and Liu Xiaoyuan was still hesitant, not knowing what to do.
Just then, Liu Xiaoyuan clearly felt the stone door shake slightly, as if caused by the monster's roar. Seeing this, Liu Xiaoyuan felt that the situation was not good. Judging from the situation, the monster inside might come out at any moment.
Liu Xiaoyuan thought that instead of standing outside, he should rush in and see what was going on.
"Damn it, let's take a gamble. Who cares what kind of monster is inside? I'll just rush in and see for myself." Liu Xiaoyuan didn't care about anything else anymore. He was being so indecisive, like a woman. What great things could he possibly accomplish?
So Liu Xiaoyuan simply cleaved the stone gate open with a single sword strike and went inside.
After Liu Xiaoyuan smashed the stone gate with a single sword strike, he immediately went inside. Upon entering, he saw that there was a tiger being held captive inside, but this tiger was three or four times larger than the tigers in the zoo, and it looked much fiercer.
More importantly, the tiger's fur is completely white, just like snowflakes.
Could this be the legendary White Tiger? Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't help but think of the Azure Dragon on the left and the White Tiger on the right.
However, the White Tiger is one of the Four Symbols, how could it be trapped here? That doesn't make sense.
The white tiger's four paws were directly bound by iron chains. There were four stone pillars around the white tiger, and the iron chains binding the white tiger were attached to the stone pillars.
"Roar!" Upon seeing Liu Xiaoyuan enter, the white tiger roared at him, as if to say, "Kid, release me now, or I'll eat you."
Liu Xiaoyuan looked at the giant beast in front of him, wondering if it was the White Tiger, one of the Four Symbols. If not, what was its identity?
"Kid, stop staring and let me go right now, or I'll give you some unexpected benefits." Just as Liu Xiaoyuan was looking at the white tiger, a voice entered his ears.
Liu Xiaoyuan looked around, but there was no one there. Could the sound have come from the tiger?
"Boy, no need to look, it's me, the Great King, speaking to you." This voice rang in Liu Xiaoyuan's ears once again.
Now Liu Xiaoyuan was absolutely certain that the one speaking was the tiger that was bound by chains.
"You can actually talk?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked, looking at the tiger with some surprise.
The tiger said arrogantly, "Boy, it's such a childish thing for you to be able to talk. Don't be surprised. If you want to use your magic weapon to cut down these four stone pillars, I can regain my freedom."
Upon hearing the tiger's words, Liu Xiaoyuan carefully observed the four stone pillars standing around the tiger once again. These four stone pillars were square, about thirty centimeters long and wide, and each about one meter high. There was nothing on the stone pillars, which looked very strange.
However, these four seemingly ordinary stone pillars were able to immobilize this extraordinary tiger, demonstrating their formidable power.
Now, the tiger has destroyed the four stone pillars as soon as it opened its mouth, clearly showing that it is afraid of the four stone pillars.
Before figuring out Baihu's identity, unless Liu Xiaoyuan is stupid, he won't release Baihu. Who knows if releasing Baihu will lead to him ending up like the Mr. Dongguo?
"Are you a white tiger?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked, looking at the white tiger.
Upon hearing this, the white tiger laughed and said, "You've got good taste, kid. That's right, I am the White Tiger. Now that you know my identity, you can destroy these four stone pillars, right?"
Upon hearing Baihu admit his identity, Liu Xiaoyuan became even more suspicious. As one of the Four Symbols, you should be an incredibly powerful being. Why are you imprisoned here? Doesn't this damage your status?
The saying goes, "Left Green Dragon, Right White Tiger," which is a very high compliment for the White Tiger. But now it's being imprisoned here, which makes Liu Xiaoyuan suspect that the White Tiger in front of him is fake.
"Wait, don't rush, I have another question for you," Liu Xiaoyuan said calmly.
The white tiger seemed a little anxious and said, "Boy, why are you talking so much nonsense? How can you accomplish great things if you keep going on and on like this? Release me quickly, and I'll tell you later."
Liu Xiaoyuan laughed and said, "No rush, Baihu. You can't rush things, can you?"
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Baihu could only say, "Alright, ask me whatever questions you have."
Liu Xiaoyuan asked with a smile, "I'm very curious, as the White Tiger, why are you being imprisoned here?"
Upon hearing this question, Baihu angrily replied, "Kid, you'd better not ask me this question. I don't want to talk about it. You should ask other questions instead."
Liu Xiaoyuan asked curiously, "Why are you unwilling to say? Or can't you find a reasonable explanation?"
"Boy, what do you mean by that?" Baihu asked angrily when he saw Liu Xiaoyuan doubting his identity.
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "Don't be angry, I was just saying it casually, don't take it to heart."
Seeing that the white tiger was angry, Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't quite figure out whether it was genuinely angry or just pretending, or whether it was angry because Liu Xiaoyuan didn't believe its identity, or because it wasn't actually a white tiger and Liu Xiaoyuan had seen through its disguise.
"Hmph, kid, I know you don't believe my identity. Since you don't believe me, I don't need your belief. Leave," the White Tiger said with a cold snort.
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "Don't be so temperamental. If you want me to save you, you should at least let me trust you, right? Without mutual trust, how can we help each other?"
The white tiger looked at Liu Xiaoyuan and said, "Kid, if you had dared to talk to me like that before, I could have sent you to your death with one swipe of my claw. But now, I'm down on my luck, so I guess I deserve it!"
