Chapter 68 Iron-Scaled Demonic Tiger
Zhu Qiniang had a keen sense of perception. The demon beast was still a thousand feet away from them, but she could already sense the strong aura emanating from it.
She was at the ninth level of Qi training, and had already condensed a bit of true spirit. She was just one step away from opening her spiritual orifice and completing her foundation.
Relying on a little spiritual perception, Zhu Qinnan knew that the monster was coming for her.
The intelligence of a second-level monster is no less than that of a human. If a monster really rushed into the yard, it would immediately discover them with its keen perception, and any monster-repelling talisman would be useless.
Zhu Qinnan didn't know why the monster was coming after her, and she didn't have time to think about it.
If we delay any further, Gao Xian and Daniu will be implicated.
Zhu Qinnan gave some instructions and hurried out of the room with her sword in hand.
Gao Xian hurriedly followed Zhu Qiniang out and grabbed her hand: "I'll go with you!"
Zhu Qiniang shook off Gao Xian's hand without hesitation, "Don't mess around, you're coming for me, it's useless for you to follow me, you'll only drag me down!"
"The Qingshuang Sword is for you."
Time was urgent, Gao Xian did not explain to Zhu Qinniang. He directly took out the Qingshuang Sword and threw it to Zhu Qinniang. Only this top-grade sword could threaten a second-level monster.
Zhu Qiniang took the Qingshuang Sword and nodded, "I'll go."
Without waiting for Gao Xian to speak, Zhu Qinnan had already used her wind-controlling technique to jump over the wall.
Da Niu's reaction was much slower than the other two. He just ran out at this time, "Brother, Seventh Sister, I, I'll go with you!"
"Take good care of the house."
Gao Xian was still worried about Zhu Qiniang, so he hurriedly told Da Niu something and used his wind-controlling skills to chase after Zhu Qiniang.
When Gao Xian climbed over the wall, he could no longer see Zhu Qiniang.
This area is the core area of Pegasus, and there are various houses and buildings everywhere.
Gao Xian jumped onto the chimney of a house and looked into the distance.
Under the bright moonlight, the snow on the roofs of the houses is very conspicuous, which makes the places where the moonlight cannot reach even darker.
The strong contrast between light and dark divides the space into pieces, and in each piece of light and dark space there are many human figures running around.
Gao Xian knew that these figures were cultivators who were frightened by the monsters and fled in panic, but Zhu Qiniang was not among them.
A second-level monster suddenly broke into the central area of Pegasus, which may have been beyond the expectations of many cultivators, and no one dared to stop to fight the monster.
Gao Xian also saw the second-level monster. It was also standing on the roof and looking around. There seemed to be some hesitation in its flashing red eyes.
It didn't seem to be very interested in the many cultivators who were fleeing in all directions, but was looking for some specific target.
The bright moonlight sprinkled on the monster, making its iron-blue scales sparkle.
This monster looked very much like a tiger, and was taller than the Iron-backed Wolf he had killed, but its muscles were obviously more symmetrical and stronger, and its tall body surprisingly looked curvaceous.
Anyone with a little common sense can tell at a glance that this thing must be extremely fast and have great explosive power.
The scales all over its body give it a very strong body protection.
Gao Xian didn't know much about monsters, but he recognized the guy in front of him: the Iron-Scaled Demonic Tiger.
This second-level iron-scaled demon tiger is very famous. It has killed countless cultivators in the depths of Tengshe Mountain.
The area where the Iron Scale Demonic Tiger is active has become a recognized restricted area.
No one knows for what reason, but this iron-scaled demon tiger was led to Pegasus.
Leaving the complex environment of the mountains and dense forests and running to the market where all the cultivators are, it is actually very dangerous for the monsters.
After all, there are too many cultivators here. If they really work together to deal with it, even a second-level monster can't stand it.
However, the cultivators were all scattered and no one dared to risk their lives with the Iron Scaled Demonic Tiger.
Everyone’s idea is simple: just run faster than the cultivator next to you.
Gao Xian noticed that the Iron Scaled Demonic Tiger's eyes were darting around, so he did not dare to be careless and quickly used his Shadowless Clothes.
A faint water light flowed down, completely covering Gao Xian like a huge cloak, and his shadow imprinted on the snow on the roof also disappeared.
Gao Xian and Qiniang tried it before. When he wore the shadowless clothes, Qiniang could not spot him even if he was seven steps away.
When they were within seven steps, although Qi Niang couldn't see him, she could sense something was wrong.
The specific situation is also affected by the environment and cannot be generalized.
The distance was so far, and with so many cultivators running around below, Gao Xian felt that the Iron Scaled Demonic Tiger should not be able to see through the Shadowless Cloak.
Sure enough, the Iron Scale Demonic Tiger glanced over his position and did not show any abnormality.
In fact, the Iron Scale Demon Tiger only hesitated for a moment, then it aimed in a direction and suddenly jumped out.
The Iron-Scaled Demonic Tiger has strong and powerful limbs, but its huge body appears unusually light. It can even run on the wall easily, and even stand at a right angle to the wall.
After a few leaps, the Iron Scaled Demonic Tiger disappeared.
Gao Xian felt something was wrong, so he used his scent-smelling technique.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
When casting the spell, the shadowless clothes wrapped around his body inevitably began to ripple like water.
Fortunately, there was no one around and no one saw this strange scene.
With the ability to smell scents, Gao Xian can sense millions of smells in the air.
Among these vast quantities of smells, Gao Xian quickly filtered out the smell of Zhu Qiniang.
To Gao Xian, Qinniang's scent was like intermittent bands of light drifting in the darkness, clearly marking Zhu Qinniang's direction.
Gao Xian locked onto the scent of the Iron Scaled Demonic Tiger again. The scent of this demon beast was much stronger.
The scent left by the Iron-Scaled Demonic Tiger was like a street lamp, marking the direction clearly.
The scent traces left by Qiniang and those of the Iron-Scaled Demon Tiger mostly overlap.
Through the art of smelling, Gao Xian could almost be sure that the Iron Scaled Demonic Tiger was heading for Qiniang.
"I don't know who has set up a conspiracy against Qi Niang. We are in trouble now..."
Gao Xian immediately realized that Qiniang was in big trouble.
Whether in terms of physical strength or magic power, Qi Niang was no match for the Iron Scale Demon Tiger. If she continued to chase him like this, Qi Niang would have nowhere to escape and would surely die in the end.
If he goes to help, the most likely scenario is that he will die together with Qiniang.
Since this concerns his own life, how could Gao Xian not think about it?
"Qiniang helped him, and he also helped Qiniang. They conspired to kill Zhu Hongan, and Qiniang also gained a lot. He doesn't owe Qiniang anything..."
Gao Xian hesitated, because he was facing a second-level monster, which was equivalent to a foundation-building cultivator.
Normally, a foundation-building cultivator can completely crush a Qi-training cultivator. The difference in power between the two sides is huge.
The power of a second-level demon beast is even stronger than that of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator.
He had to use all his strength to defeat Yao Qingshuang, and he had almost no chance against a second-level monster.
This is no joke, at this moment, talking about loyalty is like risking your life! However, Gao Xian only hesitated for a moment.
Isn't it meaningful to be a comrade-in-arms when you fight side by side? If he abandons others at the critical moment, what kind of comrade-in-arms is he?
Even if he didn't risk his life to be with Qi Niang, he should at least try his best! Gao Xian didn't rush to catch up. He sank his consciousness into his brows and opened the Fengyue Treasure Mirror.
He has accumulated a lot of human spiritual power during this period, so he should improve his strength before taking any action.
His gaze fell on the True Yang Spear and the Shadowless Robe. With the current human spiritual light, he could only raise one of the spells to the perfect grandmaster level.
