Chapter 191
In the Yunmo Mountains, a dozen young cultivators were traveling through the mountains and forests.
Everyone in the group has good qualifications and they are all students of Yaotian Academy of Luoyue Empire.
"We can't go any further. If we go any further, we will reach the restricted area. There are king-level monsters there. It's too dangerous." The leading young man in white said with a serious expression.
"Senior, I heard there's a white-striped tiger king in the restricted area ahead. It's very arrogant!"
The young man in white nodded and said, "Yes! It is said that the tiger is very ferocious. Once you step into its territory, it will rush out and eat you without hesitation. In the past, several warriors who trespassed into its territory were eaten by it."
As a few people were talking, a burst of cheers was heard.
"Brother Lin killed a black-spotted, two-tailed leopard!"
"Great! Senior Brother Lin, you're amazing."
"Senior Brother Lin, you are truly a genius."
A burst of loud conversation rang in the ears of several people.
The young man in white turned around and said with some envy, "Junior Brother Lin Yue is really amazing! He's already a Seven-Star Martial Spirit at only seventeen or eighteen years old."
“Junior Brother Lin Yue is indeed very powerful. However, I heard that there are two people named Mu Chen and Ye Shi in the Holy Star Academy. They are both extremely talented. A year ago, they inherited the legacy of the Martial Sect and were promoted to Martial Kings. They are masters that are beyond the reach of the younger generation.” A woman in green said with admiration.
"I heard about it too. I heard that the two of them managed to escape and ascend to heaven despite being besieged by a group of Martial Emperors."
"I heard that the two of them didn't dare to return to Holy Star Academy because they offended too many people. After coming out of the secret realm, they have been wandering around and making all corners of the world their home." A woman in green came forward and said.
"Those two were said to be incredibly powerful. I heard that when Mu Chen disappeared, he was already a three-star Martial King, and also a sixth-level formation master. I don't know what level he is now."
"Back then, Mu Chen and Ye Shi killed quite a few Martial Emperors. It is said that in recent years, there are still Martial Emperors chasing them, but they all failed."
"I think most of the rumors are exaggerated. The Holy Star Academy is just a small country. Its territory is not even one-fifth the size of our Luoyue Empire. What kind of talents can a country like that produce?" A girl in red said with some disdain, waving the whip in her hand.
"Hongling, don't say that. Although the Xuanfeng Empire is a small country, it's possible for one or two geniuses to emerge occasionally."
As a few people were talking, a white tiger slowly walked out from deep in the forest.
A young man was sitting on the tiger, and above his head, a group of golden insects were buzzing.
"What a cute tiger!" The girl in green couldn't help but open her eyes wide.
The higher the level of the tiger-like monsters in this world, the bigger they grow. However, not all of them are like this. After the monsters reach level five, they have the ability to change their size freely.
"Look at the size of this tiger, it must be a cub. He seems very scared! How pitiful! That man is so lucky that he actually caught a cub." The girl in red looked at Ye Shi with jealousy.
Tiger-like monsters are unruly and untamable, but if a young tiger is trained from a young age, it is possible to tame it.
Ye Shi looked at the Sky-Swallowing Worm circling overhead and said with a sad face, "Stop arguing, stop arguing! I know Yuan Shi, Yuan Shi."
He had already raised more than ten Sky-Swallowing Worms that had reached the King level. Since then, these Sky-Swallowing Worms could transmit vague consciousness. The concept these Sky-Swallowing Worms conveyed to him the most was: Yuanshi, Yuanshi, Yuanshi...
Over the past year, the amount of Yuanshi that Mu Chen and Ye Shi had spent to raise these Sky-Devouring Insects could have piled up into a small mountain.
Ye Shi gritted his teeth. Over the past year, he and Muchen had been traveling around. In the beginning, they were always being hunted down by the Martial Emperor. However, this group of Sky-Devouring Insects were invincible and helped them escape several times.
Several girls looked at the tiger under Ye Shi with curiosity.
Ye Shi gritted his teeth. He was lost in the mountains and forests and hadn't seen anyone for two months. All the Yuanshi on his body had been eaten by the Sky-Swallowing Worms. There were still some Yuanshi in the Yuanshi card, but they were just a string of numbers and could not be turned into food.
"That tiger seems to be very afraid of those monster insects above that young man's head!"
"It's strange. What's there to be afraid of about a few bugs?"
"That tiger seems to be trembling!"
"That boy seems to have come out of the restricted area. He's really lucky not to have been eaten."
Ye Shi waved his hand, waving away the insects. "Stop making trouble, stop making trouble. This tiger can't eat it. This is the mount I found. If you chew it, what should I do?"
The group of Sky-Devouring Insects flew a little higher, still circling around the tiger's head reluctantly.
The white tiger looked at the insects flying in the sky with fear.
"Is there something wrong with this tiger? I feel like his legs are shaking!"
"Little brother, are you going to sell your little tiger?" Hong Ling asked with fiery eyes, looking at the tiger under Ye Shi.
Ye Shi patted the little tiger's head and said, "Xiaobai, someone wants to buy you! I'm short of money, so why not sell you to me?"
Seeing Ye Shi's cooperation, the woman in red couldn't help but feel delighted. She thought to herself, "What a fool! He rushed into the restricted area recklessly, and luckily, he got out again."
"Girl, how many Yuanshi do you plan to pay?" Ye Shi blinked and asked the girl in red innocently.
"How about one million?" the woman in red rolled her eyes.
The girl in green glanced at the girl in red and thought to herself, "Hong Ling is trying to get something for nothing!" If this tiger were to be sold, it would easily fetch five or six million. After all, tiger cubs are very popular. Adult tiger monsters are unruly, but young ones can be tamed. Many large families would raise some monster cubs from a young age.
Ye Shi patted Bai Hu's head and said, "Xiao Bai, they're offering one million for you. Are you happy?"
The white tiger opened its mouth wide and roared. Although its voice was full of anger, it seemed as if it was afraid of something, so its voice was a little low.
"Little brother, how are you? One million is not a small amount." Hongling looked at Ye Shi.
I thought to myself, I don't know where this guy came from. He's probably from a small family. He's an uninformed guy. Giving him one million is pretty good.
"Xiaobai, this girl doesn't know how powerful you are. She wants to get rid of you after paying you only one million. Show her a lesson. Don't be polite." Ye Shi pointed at the girl in red.
The girl in red felt depressed when she heard Ye Shi's words.
Upon hearing this, the little white tiger's body began to grow as if it was breathing, and it suddenly jumped from half a meter high to more than ten meters high. The little white tiger roared at the woman in red, and a powerful aura suddenly poured out.
The woman in red was frightened to death by the roar of the little white tiger.
All the students were in a panic, stumbling around, looking at Ye Shi with eyes full of fear.
This is not a baby beast, it is clearly a terrifying king-level monster, the Tiger King!
What was this person's origin? Why was he able to ride on a king-level monster? Aren't king-level monsters very ferocious? Why was he so obedient?
"Please don't blame me, senior. I am blind and hope you can forgive me." The young man in white stepped forward and said.
Ye Shi tilted his head, looked at the young man in white, blinked thoughtfully, and asked, "Do you have any Yuanshi?"
The young man in white's expression suddenly changed, "Yes."
"How many are there?" Ye Shi asked with a little excitement.
"One million." The young man in white said with a stiff upper lip. One million was already his entire fortune.
"Yuanshi Card or Yuanshi?" Ye Shi continued to ask.
The young man in white was stunned for a moment and said, "Yuanshi Card."
Ye Shi bit his lip and said, "I want Yuanshi." Ye Shi and Muchen had been wandering in the jungle for three months. All the Yuanshi had been spent, but there were still a lot of Yuanshi on the Yuanshi card.
Hearing this, the young man in white suppressed his heartache and said, "I'll get it for you right away."
"Hurry up, hurry up." Ye Shi looked up at the buzzing insects above his head and said, "Ancestor! Stop arguing, stop arguing. I'm trying to figure out a solution, aren't I?"
The young man in white and others quickly gathered some Yuanshi and gave them to Ye Shi.
As soon as the Yuanshi appeared, the golden insects surrounding Ye Shi immediately moved, and the Yuanshi piled like a hill was snatched away. Everyone was shocked by the appetite shown by the flying insects.
"How scary." A young girl said, covering her mouth.
"Eating Yuanshi, what kind of bug is this! It eats Yuanshi."
"It seems that some of these insects are king-level." said a young man.
"What? Impossible."
"What's impossible? If it wasn't a king-level monster, how could the white tiger be so scared?"
A whisper sounded
"Shi Tou, what are you doing?" A cold voice came over.
Hearing Mu Chen's words, Ye Shi immediately stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.
Everyone saw a fiery red bird suspended in mid-air, slowly flapping its wings. Standing on the bird was a man with a cold expression and handsome looks.
"Is that bird the Red Flame Bird, the king-level demon beast from the nearby territory?"
"Yes, it's that Scarlet Flame Bird. I heard that the Scarlet Flame Bird has phoenix feathers on its head and is a different species."
"Who are these two people? Are they animal trainers?"
"These two guys look very young!"
The fiery red bird slowly landed, and Mu Chen walked down from the red flame bird.
Ye Shi scratched his head as he looked at Muchen, and said a little embarrassedly, "Xiao Jin and the others are out of Yuanshi to eat, and they've been arguing. I can't do anything about it! I can only borrow some Yuanshi from someone."
Mu Chen looked at the flying insects, sighed softly, and said, "These guys' appetites have grown again."
Ye Shi nodded and said hurriedly, "That's right."
One million yuan stones were eaten clean by flying insects in an instant. Mu Chen glanced at Ye Shi helplessly.
Several girls looked at Mu Chen and found that Mu Chen did not really seem to blame Ye Shi, but mostly doted on him.
Mu Chen threw a bottle of pills to the young man in white, "This pill is for you. It should be enough to cover the Yuanshi you paid before."
The young man in white glanced at the pill bottle and found a fourth-level spirit-building pill inside. It should be able to help him break through and become a four-star martial spirit. He was immediately overjoyed and said hurriedly, "Thank you, senior."
"Is there any town nearby?" Mu Chen asked.
"Yes, there is a big city after crossing this forest." The young man in white said hurriedly.
Ye Shi blinked and said happily, "Great! Now that I've found a city, I can go to a merchant house to exchange Yuanshi for it."
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes!"
