A very young male voice echoed in the empty valley.
The voice was too youthful, which made the threatening tone less convincing and instead sound strange and awkward.
Huo Yuwei was stunned; there were actually people in this valley.
If it's a human being, then it's much easier to handle; we can discuss and communicate.
The thing Qiqi wants, we can discuss with the other party and exchange it for something else.
The weapon in his hand, the talisman in Qiqi's hand, anything is fine.
"Excuse me, sir, my sister and I unintentionally wandered in here. However, my sister has something very important that she must retrieve. I wonder if you could do me a favor?"
"Big brother, he won't understand what you're saying!"
"Don't understand?" How could you not understand? What he said wasn't complicated at all!
"Yeah, he doesn't understand."
Sure enough, as soon as Qiqi finished speaking, that young voice rang out again.
"Get out of here! Stop talking nonsense with me! I don't care about your nonsense. Get out of here right now, or I'll eat you all alive!"
Huo Yuwei: ...
He had seen all sorts of vicious and foul-mouthed thugs, so he didn't find anything unusual about them.
But there's still a three-year-old girl here. He keeps saying "I'm an old man" and using foul language, which is a bad influence on the child.
Huo Yuwei frowned unhappily. "Sir, if you have something to say, why don't you show yourself and we can talk it out? Everything can be discussed, so why are you keeping people at arm's length like this?"
"I told you, give me a good whine..." the voice cried out in pain and rage, "Who the hell hit me?"
Qiqi snorted and calmly tossed the pebble in her palm. "I hit you, so what? You stinky tiger, you're always swearing and not well-behaved at all. Don't you deserve to be hit?"
It was her who just threw a pebble and hit him in the mouth.
"You brat, how dare you hit me! I'll devour you!" The young man roared furiously, his throat emitting bursts of beastly howls, his power terrifying.
Qiqi wasn't scared at all, and even flicked the pebble in her hand away again.
"Ouch!" The young voice cried out again.
Qiqi taunted, "Come on, come on, you stinky tiger, come and devour me!"
"Ahhh..." The young man was clearly furious, shouting that he wanted to devour Qiqi, but he never showed up.
Huo Yuwei noticed this too and quietly moved closer to Qiqi, "Qiqi, do you know that person who was talking?"
“Yes, I do know it,” Qiqi nodded, explaining seriously, “but it’s not a person! It’s a tiger, a stupid, clumsy, and smelly little tiger!”
"A tiger?" Huo Yuwei was dumbfounded. A tiger could speak human language?
It's unclear what word triggered the other person, but the young voice broke down and screamed.
"You're the little one, your whole family is little. Wait, who are you? Why are you saying the exact same things as that brat?"
"Who I am is none of your business, you stinking tiger. I'm asking you, where is the Xuanyuan Sword?"
"You brat, how do you know about the Xuanyuan Sword? Who exactly are you?"
Qi Qi put her hands on her hips, speaking with an air of self-righteousness, "Never mind who I am, I'm asking you, didn't someone tell you back then to keep a close eye on the Xuanyuan Sword, and that someone would come to you with a token to retrieve it later?"
"Yes, but that was a thousand years ago, and I've never seen anyone come to retrieve the sword. That brat, she must have lied to me! Roar!"
With a roar, Huo Yuwei recognized the voice; it was indeed a tiger.
No, this is actually a tiger from a thousand years ago?!
"She didn't lie to you, that's why I came to get my sword from you!" Qiqi shouted into the tree on tiptoe, "Hurry up and remove the restrictions here, otherwise I won't be able to use the talisman to help you break the formation!"
"Roar~ Are you really here to retrieve the sword?" The young man, or rather, the tiger, expressed his doubt.
"Yes, otherwise how would I know you're a stupid, clumsy, and smelly tiger?" Qiqi said, her words infuriatingly witty.
tiger:……
Once it emerges from the formation, it will surely devour this little girl whose mouth is even stinkier than its own.
"Hehe~ I'll believe you for now, but if you dare to lie to me, I'll devour you until there's not even a bone left!"
After several consecutive roars of beasts, everything before our eyes underwent another earth-shattering change.
The towering trees were gone, and Huo Yuwei then realized that they were actually in a cave.
A huge tiger, as tall as a three-story building, was perched just a step away from them.
From where he was standing, taking just one more step forward would have meant sending someone straight into the lion's den.
Huo Yuwei had never seen such a big tiger in his life.
His first reaction was shock.
Shocked, he took out his phone, turned on the camera, and snapped a picture of the tiger.
The sound of the camera lens being left on was particularly noticeable, sounding somewhat abrupt in the quiet cave.
Both the man and the tiger looked at him.
Huo Yuwei: ...
"I'm sorry, I've never seen such a big tiger in my life, I just couldn't resist!"
The tiger looked down at him with disdain.
That look seemed to say: Ha, ignorant mortals!
Huo Yuwei: ...
Qiqi tilted her head back. She was so short that she had to strain to look at the tiger's head and talk to it. Her whole body leaned back, and finally, with a thud, she lost her balance and sat down on the ground.
Helpless, Qiqi simply sat on the ground and looked up at the tiger, saying, "Little tiger, can you shrink a little? You're so big, it's tiring for me to talk to you!"
Looking at her clumsy movements, the tiger couldn't help but wonder if this little girl was really the one who would retrieve the sword.
Can she really break the spell that's trapping it and let it out?
But right now there doesn't seem to be a better way, so I can only trust her!
The tiger bared its teeth, shook its head, and gradually shrank until it became the size of an ordinary tiger.
Then it raised its head high and said in a condescending tone, "Little girl, hurry up and break the formation for this old... for this great king!"
"But I haven't gotten the Xuanyuan Sword yet!" Qiqi looked up at it and smiled, looking good-natured and like a naive and innocent girl.
In fact, its big, dark eyes were gleaming with cunning; it was clearly plotting against this foolish tiger.
Although the little tiger was clumsy, it possessed great demonic power.
If she could get it on her side and help her fight the Demon Chief, her chances of winning would be much greater.
"You haven't broken the formation for me yet. What if you run away if I give you the sword?"
"But I don't have a sword, so I can't break the formation." Qiqi spread her hands.
Her fair face clearly said: "Why don't we just wait it out and see who can outlast whom?"
