Chapter 70: Thorn Tiger
The tall and straight poplar trees had long lost their leaves, revealing large, ugly dry branches.
On both sides of the poplar tree are the back walls of two households, and the passage is only about ten feet wide.
Behind the tree was a large pile of firewood piled up haphazardly, completely blocking the road behind the tree.
Under the bright moonlight, Zhu Qiniang could see the situation around the big tree clearly at a glance.
There are obstacles all around and the environment is complex. The Iron Scaled Demon Tiger is certainly subject to some restrictions, but there is no space for humans to pass through.
In other words, for her and Gao Xian, this environment has no advantages at all. How can they fight against the Iron Scale Demon Tiger? !
Gao Xian was still very immature in terms of fighting! Zhu Qiniang really wanted to ignore Gao Xian, which would be good for both him and her.
Just as Zhu Qiniang was hesitating, Gao Xian spoke again: "Qiniang, you stand under the tree. The demon tiger will enter from the gap between the two walls. I will ambush the demon tiger here. Qiniang will attack first with magic to support it."
He stretched out a hand from his shadowless robe and waved at Zhu Qiniang to show his location so that Zhu Qiniang would know where he was.
When Zhu Qinnan saw Gao Xian's hand, she felt more confident.
Gao Xian's plan was crude and simple, but it was a plan after all.
She thought about it and felt that it was okay, at least it was not a reckless move. If the attack failed, it would be hard to say what would happen to the two of them.
At this point, there aren't many choices.
The key point is that Gao Xian risked his life to help, what else can she say! Zhu Qiniang came to the poplar tree as planned, holding the Qingshuang Sword and a second-level medium-grade Tianlei Talisman.
Thunder magic is the first of all magics and has the strongest power.
The Heavenly Thunder Talisman is just a general term, and there are thousands of specific types. All thunder talismans that can be drawn into talismans are called Heavenly Thunder Talismans.
This was because she was close to building her foundation and was proficient in the Qingmu Lightning Spear, so she was able to activate the Heavenly Thunder Talisman.
If it were any other Qigong practitioner, it would be difficult for him to control the talisman. If he was not careful, he might even be injured by the Heavenly Thunder Talisman.
Zhu Qinnan took advantage of this opportunity to quickly concentrate and regulate her breathing, getting ready.
Gao Xian, wearing a shadowless robe, stood at the entrance of the two back walls.
Calculating from the distance and direction, the Iron Scale Demon Tiger must have entered from here. He could give the Iron Scale Demon Tiger a hard blow by hiding here.
Even if we can't kill the Iron Scale Demon Tiger, we must at least injure it.
Monsters all live alone. Although they are ferocious and powerful, they will not fight with their prey.
Once injured, the monster's first choice is definitely to escape.
Gao Xian had been in the mountains for dozens of days of trials. Although he had not killed many monsters, he had a certain understanding of their habits.
This was the only way he could think of to rescue Qiniang.
The Iron Scale Demonic Tiger was extremely fast, and it didn't have many complicated thoughts. It just wanted to tear into pieces the thing that had the scent of its child!
It locked onto Zhu Qiniang's position and found that she was not running away. This further aroused its ferocity, and the speed of its limbs increased again.
The Iron-Scaled Demonic Tiger was running fast under the moonlight. Its huge and strong body was as light as a flying bird. It arrived in front of Gao Xian with two leaps.
Gao Xian was shocked. His Electric Light Dragon Hand had reached the master level and his speed was no slower than Zhu Qiniang's.
The Iron Scale Demon Tiger leaped and moved faster than him. You have to know that the other party was huge and weighed at least ten times as much as him.
One can imagine how terrifying the power of this demon tiger is.
He had little confidence to begin with, but when he saw the fierce and powerful posture of the demon tiger leaping, he was almost scared out of his wits.
Fortunately, Sister Lan emerged from deep within his brows, and with the help of the grandmaster-level magic, Gao Xian was able to control his nervousness and anxiety, entering a state as calm as ice.
At the same time, his six senses were greatly enhanced. The Iron Scale Demon Tiger, which seemed to be faster than a bird, was slowing down in his eyes, and all the details on the Iron Scale Demon Tiger's body were also magnified.
The undulating muscles have both strong and smooth beauty. The triangular scales the size of a child's palm flow like water with its movements. The blood-red pupils are very strange and intimidating. The two rows of black and yellow teeth exposed in the mouth are as sharp as blades, and the long black whiskers are the same as those of a kitten...
Gao Xian's ability to smell scents was still there, and he could smell the strong stench on the Iron Scale Demon Tiger, mixed with some complex smells of blood and other odors.
There was actually a little aura on Zhu Qinnan that was similar to that of the Iron Scaled Demonic Tiger.
This is not just a simple smell, but more like some special scent brought by magic.
That's why the Iron Scaled Demon Tiger chased after Qi Niang regardless of the consequences.
Gao Xian, through the art of smelling scents and the magic of large puppets, roughly figured out why Qi Niang was being chased by the demon tiger.
Time was urgent and he had no time to analyze the specific situation.
The most important thing right now is to deal with Tie Lin.
Obviously, the Iron Scale Demonic Tiger did not notice his existence.
The Grandmaster’s full-level Shadowless Robe is very reliable.
Gao Xian gripped the hilt of the Stone-Cutting Sword tightly. The Iron-Scaled Demon Tiger had a strong body, and it was difficult for him to threaten the opponent with his magic power. So the sword was more reliable.
The 17-jin stone-cutting sword, with sharp gold runes, struck with all his strength. He didn't believe that any flesh and blood could stop it! Zhu Qiniang had a very good grasp of the battle. When she saw the Iron-Scaled Demonic Tiger fall, she activated the Heavenly Thunder Talisman.
The talisman turned into a ray of blazing white lightning and twisted to hit the Iron Scaled Demonic Tiger.
Thunder magic is the fastest and has the strongest power.
The Iron Scale Demon Tiger realized something was wrong but it was too late to dodge and was hit head-on by the lightning.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Amid the roar of thunder, the scorching heat released by the lightning melted most of the fine scales on the Iron Scaled Demon Tiger's head, and part of the skin and flesh on its forehead was carbonized.
At the same time, a layer of blue-black flames shone from the Iron Scale Demonic Tiger's body, and the flames wrapped around its entire body inside and out like a protective shield.
It is this layer of magical light flame shield that blocks most of the power of thunder magic.
Gao Xian, who was standing by, realized at this moment that the Iron Scaled Demon Tiger's magic power was so strong, and the magic shield it created was so thick and solid that it was enough to resist the Heavenly Thunder Talisman.
In terms of magic power alone, the Iron Scaled Demon Tiger is at least ten times stronger than Zhu Qiniang. The physical difference between the two is even greater.
Fortunately, the Iron Scale Demonic Tiger is not very intelligent, does not know any magic or martial arts, and only fights based on its natural instincts. The operation of its magic power is very crude and simple.
That's why it was injured by the Heavenly Thunder Talisman.
Gao Xian marveled at the power of the Iron Scale Demonic Tiger, but his determination to take action would not be shaken.
While the Iron Scale Demon Tiger is injured, it is his chance to take action.
Just as Gao Xian drew his sword and was about to attack, Zhu Qinnan's second wave of Qingmu Lightning Spear had already shot towards the Iron Scaled Demon Tiger.
The Iron-Scaled Demonic Tiger, with half of its face burned into charcoal black, suddenly opened its mouth and let out a loud roar.
The Iron Scale Demonic Tiger released all its powerful magic power in its roar, and the tiger's roar was so powerful that it shook the world.
In Gao Xian's eyes, the flaming shock wave emitted by the Iron Scale Demonic Tiger's roar was like a transparent cannonball blasting towards Zhu Qinnan.
The five Qingmu lightning spears that shot towards him were shattered into thousands of streams of light by the roar.
The protective thick earth shield that Zhu Qinnan activated and the protective Xuanyuan spiritual light shield on her Xuanyuan robe were instantly shattered by the roar. Zhu Qinnan was also blown away by the invisible shock wave, and the pile of firewood behind her was smashed into pieces.
The tall poplar tree suddenly bent backwards at the roar, and all the dry branches on the tree broke into thousands of pieces and flew out like rain.
The walls on both sides were vibrating and stirring, stirring up countless dust and snow.
The roar of the Iron Scale Demonic Tiger was so powerful and directional, with 80% of its power directed towards Zhu Qiniang.
It’s just that Gao Xian was too close, so he was inevitably affected.
Amidst the huge roar, the shadowless clothes on his body rippled like water waves, revealing his figure.
The Grandmaster's maximum-level shadowless robe was extremely solid. Although it could not conceal Gao Xian's figure, it blocked the remaining power of the roar.
Gao Xianyoulan controlled his soul, consciousness and body in the game, and was not frightened by the roar of the Iron Scaled Demon Tiger. His sword-drawing action was hardly affected.
The Iron Scale Demon Tiger's red pupils turned and saw Gao Xian beside him. Its red pupils suddenly expanded, and it was obviously startled by Gao Xian's sudden appearance! At the critical moment, Gao Xian did not hesitate at all and immediately drew his sword and stabbed.
The Iron Scale Demonic Tiger had just released most of its magic power, and the red flames around it were now very dim.
It just roared with its neck stretched out, exposing its neck completely, and the scales on its neck opened up into cracks due to the force.
The seventeen-jin stone-cutting sword turned into a snow-white sword light and pointed directly at the neck of the Iron-Scaled Demon Tiger!
