As for Shi Ling, for the next ten days, he was immersed in training like crazy. Because he no longer had to worry about those men in black, Shi Ling focused on training like hell.
During the morning, he would train his body's strength with all his might. In the afternoon, he would stay in the cave to absorb the world's spirit energy to improve his cultivation. At night, when he went to sleep, he would enter the state of mind to practice the Shadow Slaughter.
Not only did Shadow Slaughter become more and more familiar with his cultivation, his physical strength had also reached the strength of five raging bulls, and his cultivation had not changed. According to Bai Xiaosheng's deduction, Shi Ling still needed at least seven or eight more days before he could push his cultivation to the peak of the Spirit Accumulation Realm.
This kind of cultivation ended around the twenty-fifth day of Shi Ling's Spirit Sword Sect because there were still five days left before he could turn in his mission. Otherwise, Shi Ling's mission would have been cancelled, and after five days, Shi Ling would still have to participate in the entrance disciple exam.
Therefore, Shi Ling planned to head to the Fangs Tiger's habitat and complete the mission.
Shi Ling walked in the middle of the forest, holding his own quest jade plate in his hand, he marked the bottom of the jade plate with a time point, five days, which meant that Shi Ling only had five days left to complete the mission. Shi Ling looked at other parts of the jade plate, and there was a more or less description of the Fangs Tiger that Shi Ling wanted to understand so that he could make a plan to deal with it.
However, when Shi Ling followed the directions on the jade plate and arrived in front of a cave, he couldn't help but open his mouth widely, because at this moment, in front of Shi Ling was a cave that was almost ten meters tall. He didn't know why, but according to the height of the cave, Shi Ling was able to imagine the size of the Fangs Tiger.
Bai Xiaosheng then flew to Shi Ling's side and said: "Fangs Tiger are a type of Demonic Beast with a strong territorial awareness. They will sprinkle their own smell around the territory to warn other Demonic Beast not to disturb us, and we are currently in their territory."
At this time, Shi Ling turned his head and looked at Bai Xiaosheng, "They?"
Bai Xiaosheng nodded and replied, "Fangs Tiger are social animals. Once you see one in the wild, do not hesitate to run no matter how strong it is, because there must be a large number of them lying in ambush around."
When Shi Ling heard this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He immediately looked at the pitch black cave and said: "With my current strength, what is my chance of defeating a 500 year old Fangs Tiger?"
Bai Xiaosheng thought for a moment and said, "No chance at all!"
Shi Ling's mouth instantly gaped open, and Bai Xiaosheng said: "Your strength is actually not that strong, the reason you can kill people beyond your cultivation level is because your physical strength is far stronger than those black-clothed men, but, with the Demonic Beast as your advantage, it is completely useless, because, even if the Demonic Beast itself does not train, their physical strength will be far higher than human cultivators. So, if you meet the Fangs Tiger, there is no chance for you to win, you can only run as far away as you can."
After Shi Ling heard this, his eyelids twitched and said, "In that case, do I still need to use Yin Fire or Yang Fire to deal with them?"
Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said, "Precisely, but if possible, I hope you won't use the Yin Yang Twin Fire."
Shi Ling nodded and said, "I'll do my best."
With that, Shi Ling walked into the cave with light footsteps. As he walked, he was still on guard around the surroundings. At the same time, he kept his body close to the stone wall.
As Shi Ling went deeper into the cave, the light became darker. Shi Ling immediately released the Floral Pupil and the scene became much clearer.
Now Shi Ling was becoming more and more familiar with the use of Floral Pupil, and he could also nimbly use Floral Pupil's abilities. As long as he didn't use his mana to stimulate the Floral Pupil, it wouldn't trigger Shi Ling's fighting instinct.
Very quickly, Shi Ling had already entered deep into the cave. To Shi Ling's surprise, he did not see any Fangs Tiger, not even a single hair of the.
Shi Ling's mission this time was not to deal with the Fangs Tiger, but to find a piece of its fur and bring it back. Originally, Shi Ling wanted to see if he could find the hair in the outer regions of the Fangs Tiger, but Bai Xiaosheng told Shi Ling that the Fangs Tiger would not usually abandon their fur, and according to normal circumstances, they would collect the hair that had fallen off, and then make a nest for the newborn Little Tiger. Thus, Shi Ling could only find the fur after entering the Fangs Tiger's cave.
But now, the Fangs Tiger had not seen it, not even a single hair could be found. What was Shi Ling thinking? Naturally, ten thousand mud horses galloped past, and Shi Ling immediately kicked one of his legs on the stone wall, cursing loudly.
Bai Xiaosheng was very calm about this. He looked around and then stopped on a patch of grass. He said, "Hey, Shi Ling, come take a look!"
Shi Ling turned around and walked to Bai Xiaosheng's side. "What happened?"
At the same time, he looked towards the bush and heard Bai Xiaosheng say, "Go and open the bush and take a look."
Shi Ling walked up at this moment, and he saw that there were three cute little tigers sleeping peacefully on top of a furry nest. These tigers looked a little like kittens, and they were very cute.
Shi Ling was overjoyed as he whispered to Bai Xiaosheng, "Great! There are three little tigers here. We can catch one of them and it should be considered as completing the mission."
However, the corner of Bai Xiaosheng's mouth twitched. He shook his head at Shi Ling and said, "If you find your life too long, then you can go steal it."
Shi Ling asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Xiaosheng said, "A cave like this one with cubs usually has a large number of Fangs Tiger occupying it. Once you capture any one of them, it will make the little tiger cry out. At that time, it will definitely attract a large number of Fangs Tiger attacking it."
Shi Ling's eyelids twitched when he heard that and said, "Damn, then how did I get into this cave just now?"
Bai Xiaosheng shrugged, but at this time, Shi Ling's gaze shifted away from the three tigers and saw a huge egg that was the size of a bucket. Shi Ling's eyes immediately opened wide, and after looking Bai Xiaosheng in the eye, he said: "Are Fangs Tiger born from an egg?"
Bai Xiaosheng whispered: "Bullshit, Fangs Tiger belongs to the mammals, how can they lay an egg?"
Shi Ling pointed at the egg and said, "But how do you explain that?"
Bai Xiaosheng said, "How should I know?"
Shi Ling's eyes immediately lit up, and laughed sinisterly: "Since it isn't from the Fangs Tiger, then I take it away, Hu'ma won't object, right?"
As he said that, Shi Ling reached out his hand to take the egg, but Bai Xiaosheng didn't say anything about it. However, Bai Xiaosheng felt that the patterns on the egg were quite familiar, as if he had seen them before.
However, just as Shi Ling was about to carry the egg away, he saw a small tiger suddenly hug the egg. At the same time, a pair of big watery eyes blinked at Shi Ling. Shi Ling was instantly dumbfounded; at this moment, he felt like he was caught in bed.
Then, Shi Ling forced out a smile that was even uglier than crying and said to Xiao Hu, "Baby, be good and let go, okay?"
When Bai Xiaosheng saw this scene, his eyes turned white and he almost fainted. He didn't expect Shi Ling to be so stupid.
The little tiger, on the other hand, was scared by Shi Ling's expression that made it cry and started yelling.
Then, a tiger's roar reverberated throughout the entire cave. At the same time, Shi Ling could feel the ground trembling slightly, as if something was rapidly approaching him.
"..."
At the same time, behind him, a large group of Fangs Tiger rushed out. These Fangs Tiger were around the size of a small building, and the fangs on their mouths were extremely sharp, as if they would be able to crush anything they bit into pieces if they tried to bite them.
As Shi Ling was running, he looked behind him and saw dozens of Fangs Tiger chasing him. His face immediately turned pale; he did not expect that there were so many Fangs Tiger in the cave.
His entire body charged onto a big tree, and then, with the help of the big trees, he jumped back and forth. Not only could he hide his figure, he could also speed up his escape, but those Fangs Tiger were also not easy to deal with. They could determine Shi Ling's location based on the smell on his body.
When Shi Ling saw the large group of Fangs Tiger s crush all the large trees along the way, he secretly complained to himself. He immediately asked Bai Xiaosheng: "Is there any way to get rid of them?"
Bai Xiaosheng looked up at the sky and said, "Think of something."
Shi Ling's eyelids twitched. He immediately stomped on a tree branch and spun his body in the air before charging out explosively.
As time passed, Shi Ling suddenly realized that the number of Fangs Tiger seemed to be increasing. From the first dozen or so, there were almost a hundred of them, and as they moved forward, there were also other different kinds of Demonic Beast that joined the chase. Shi Ling couldn't figure out why those Demonic Beast would join them.
However, what could Shi Ling do at this time? He kept running, and Shi Ling did not expect that these Fangs Tiger would chase after him like crazy. Could it be that because he stole one of their eggs, they were going to kill him?
Only later on did Shi Ling realize that the egg seemed to have the smell of their cubs, so they mistakenly thought it was their cub and chased after him.
Immediately, Shi Ling looked around to see if there was any place that could be used to clean the egg. As long as he could wash off the smell of the egg, the Fangs Tiger would probably not pester him anymore, right?
Thinking about this, Shi Ling started to jump around again. After that, his gaze landed on a valley and he ran towards it.
The distance between the two mountains was very small, and it should be able to stop most of the Demonic Beast. Thus, Shi Ling quickened his pace, and the group of Demonic Beast behind Shi Ling seemed to have guessed Shi Ling's intentions, so they all quickened their steps to catch up.
The earth trembled at this moment, and at the same time, there was also a large number of small-scaled Demonic Beast s. In the process of chasing, they were stepped on to death by the larger Demonic Beast, leaving behind the corpses of Demonic Beast s on the ground.
However, at the same time that Shi Ling rushed into the valley, the world suddenly quietened down. The scene before his eyes first became an illusion, and the next moment, what entered Shi Ling's eyes was a completely different world.
Shi Ling looked around and saw a lake. In the center of the lake, there was a small island. On the small island, there was a towering tree that had stood there for who knows how many years.
Shi Ling turned around and glanced at the entrance, and his pupils suddenly shrunk because the way in was gone! The entire place felt as if it was surrounded by two mountains.
Shi Ling was stunned. At this moment, he felt like he was dreaming. He looked at the egg in his hand and knocked on it. "It's all because of you that I fell into this weird place."
Then, he walked in front of the lake and placed the egg in the water, wanting to wash it properly. But at this time, Shi Ling discovered that the water was so clear, it could even be described as crystal clear. What made Shi Ling surprised was that in such a large lake, not even a single fish could be seen.
Shi Ling casually picked up a leaf from his body and threw it into the lake. Afterwards, the leaf sank into the lake.
Shi Ling suddenly stood up and exclaimed: "Something's wrong with this lake!"
As he spoke, Shi Ling backed off. Not only was the lake water strange, even the place he was at was filled with a strange feeling that made people shiver. Shi Ling immediately turned around and ran, not daring to stay here any longer.
However, at this moment, an elderly voice could be heard, "Young man, since you're already here, why don't you come and chat with this old man?"
