Chapter 41

Luo Shuicheng is nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with the water being the Luoshui River and the mountain being the Xialuo Mountain.

Nie Yun is not currently on the path where his mother used to pick the Pongxin Snow Lotus, but is gradually moving deeper into the mountains.

Xialuo Mountain is a mountain range, and as you go deeper, it stretches endlessly. It is a vast area of one hundred thousand mountains, where demonic beasts are rampant, and it has always been a forbidden area for humans.

Demonic beasts are a special kind of life form, different from the demon race, with lower intelligence. Each demonic beast has its own territory, and once an outsider enters, it will be fiercely attacked!

Although demonic beasts are very fierce, their fur, claws, and horns are the preferred materials for humans to forge weapons, refine elixirs, and even make clothes. Therefore, there are also powerful individuals who venture deep into the mountains to hunt demonic beasts for money.

Nie Yun had this ability in his previous life, but he is still far from it now. At the peak of the fourth level of the Qi Sea realm, to be honest, if he were to fall into a group of demonic beasts, he wouldn't last three seconds before turning into a pile of bones.

This is also why he plans to come back when he is stronger!

Rushing forward, he covered more than three hundred miles in less than four hours.

"If I remember correctly, the Huisheng Flower is just ahead, but it's in the territory of a peak Formation Qi realm demonic beast. A slight misstep could turn me into minced meat. I must think carefully!"

Stopping in front of a cliff, Nie Yun paused to recover his strength!

The owner of this territory is called the Tiger-Headed Beast, with peak Formation Qi realm strength at the sixth level. This demonic beast moves like the wind, not only extremely fast but also almost invincible in defense. Even a peak Qi Sea realm seventh-level expert would find it difficult to kill it!

A regular Tiger-Headed Beast would have at most the strength of a peak Qi Sea realm fifth level, with average defense. This one is not only larger but also abnormal. The first time he saw it in his previous life, he didn't think much of it due to his lack of experience, but now, it seems very strange indeed!

"This Huisheng Flower is in its den. The last time I came, it happened to be away, which gave me an advantage. This time, I probably won't have such a good opportunity..."

Stopping to find a secluded spot, he recovered his strength while planning in his mind.

With his current strength, at the peak of the True Qi realm, he can kill a regular peak Qi Sea realm fifth-level demonic beast in close combat, but if the opponent is on guard from the start, he won't even get close, and he will die!

In other words, although he can easily kill a demonic human with peak Qi Sea realm fifth-level strength and can knock out the captain of the law enforcement team, Nie Yuanqing, with one move, his actual combat strength is at most comparable to a Qi Sea realm fifth-level person. Any stronger, and he won't be a match!

Therefore, to snatch something from under the nose of a peak Formation Qi realm demonic beast, he must come up with a plan. Otherwise, if he gets trapped in the den, he will certainly die!

"Let's go over first. Although my strength is not enough, my speed is still good. With the wisdom of two lifetimes, I will definitely find a way to deal with this Tiger-Headed Beast!"

After adjusting for a while, his body returned to its peak state. Nie Yun took advantage of the darkness and slowly moved forward.

"Hmm? This valley seems like it could be used as a trap..."

After walking for a while, Nie Yun came to a canyon. Looking around, his eyes lit up, and a bold idea came to mind.

The rock walls above the canyon were already weathered, and it looked like a slight force would cause them to collapse. He could lure the Tiger-Headed Beast here and cause a landslide, burying it under the rocks. Even if it didn't die, it wouldn't be able to come out for a while, giving him the chance to take the Huisheng Flower!

Although this plan is good, he must first ensure his own safety. Otherwise, if the landslide traps him too, he will die along with it, and all his efforts will be in vain!

His safety... As he was thinking about how to escape, his eyes suddenly fell on a small pond in the canyon.

The pond was light yellow, and under the starlight, it emitted wisps of white vapor, looking very strange.

Mountain springs are usually clear and transparent, at most green due to the growth of aquatic plants. But this spring was light yellow, a situation Nie Yun had never seen in his two lifetimes.

"Could there be some special mineral in this spring?"

The only possibility Nie Yun could think of was this. He cautiously approached the spring, but before he got there, he suddenly felt a foul wind coming from a distance. Without hesitation, he crouched down in the grass. Roar!

Just as he crouched down, he saw a huge Tiger-Headed Beast darting from another direction in the canyon. Its muscular body was about seven to eight meters long, streamlined, with sharp claws like steel knives. A light press turned the rocks on the ground into powder!

"A peak Qi Sea realm seventh-level Tiger-Headed Beast? How is this possible? Did I remember wrong?"

Seeing the strength of this Tiger-Headed Beast, Nie Yun was shocked.

According to his memory, this Tiger-Headed Beast should only have peak Formation Qi realm strength, and that was a year later, after the demon race invasion. How did it suddenly become a peak Qi Sea realm seventh-level?

With this level of strength, even his not-so-slow speed would probably be caught within a hundred meters and killed!

Did I remember wrong?

It's impossible! If this beast had such strength in his previous life, he wouldn't have been able to steal the Huisheng Flower and escape, let alone even touch it before being torn to pieces!

Roar!

Just as Nie Yun was puzzled, he suddenly heard another roar, and another Tiger-Headed Beast walked over from a distance, leisurely.

This Tiger-Headed Beast was clearly smaller than the first one, with taut muscles and immense strength.

"So, this one is at the peak Formation Qi realm. It seems the Tiger-Headed Beast I saw in my previous life was not the first one but this one!"

Seeing the appearance of this Tiger-Headed Beast, Nie Yun finally understood.

Tiger-Headed Beasts look similar, and he mistook the first one for the one he saw in his previous life, never imagining there would be two in such a small area!

Realizing this, Nie Yun's face turned even more grim.

He couldn't fight one Tiger-Headed Beast, let alone two. If they fought, one would distract while the other attacked. Even if he caused a landslide, it would only trap one, and the other would still tear him to pieces!

What should he do now?

Huff! Huff!

Just as Nie Yun was frowning and couldn't think of a solution, the two Tiger-Headed Beasts leisurely strolled over, taking large steps to the spring and drinking the water.

"So, these two came to drink water... Hmm?"

The two Tiger-Headed Beasts were only about ten meters away from Nie Yun, and he could see them clearly under the starlight. They were one male and one female...

Ah, that makes sense. Two tigers can't coexist on the same mountain unless one is male and the other is female. I should have thought of this earlier!

"One male and one female, they are unlikely to fight each other. Hmm? Right, I can make them do what they should do. Hehe, when humans are in the heat of passion, they forget everything, let alone wild beasts. Haha, I can take the opportunity to steal the Huisheng Flower..."

Seeing that the Tiger-Headed Beasts were one male and one female, a wicked idea suddenly came to Nie Yun's mind.
