Chapter 42: The Fire Python Tiger

  Looking ahead at the dense forest, Lin Dong's palm slightly curled up, and he raised his head to glance at the four directions of the forest. The dark and dense crowd was like a sea of people, making one feel dizzy. The buzzing noise also spread out in waves.

  At this moment, around them, there were already many figures rushing into the forest one after another. Everyone was on high alert against each other.

  The hunt has begun, and Lin Dong did not slow down too much. He walked into the dense thicket with a pace that was neither fast nor slow. As he entered the thicket, the noise that filled his ears was blocked by the dense foliage, and for a moment, it became much quieter.

  As Lin Dong walked into the forest, there were also human figures flashing in the distance. Several vigilant eyes swept across him before retreating one after another. Judging from their appearance, it seemed that they had noticed the identity card in Lin Dong's hand and didn't think it was easy to snatch.

  As for the departure of these people, Lin Dong did not rush to chase after them. After identifying the direction, he quickly headed towards the central mountain peak in the depths of the forest. Anyway, all the participants would eventually go there, and it would save him from running around searching for them.

  The originally quiet jungle, apparently also because of the sudden influx of a large number of people, was stirred up, and the beast's roar continued to sound, vaguely, as if there were some panicked cries, it seemed that some unlucky guys encountered untamed beasts.

  The rustling footsteps did not stop due to these various reasons, still maintaining a steady pace towards the center of the thicket. Only after several minutes had passed, when someone finally appeared in front of him, did he come to a halt, gazing with interest at the three figures ahead.

  The three people who appeared seemed to be around the same age as Lin Dong, with sturdy physiques and dark skin that was quite visually striking. What made Lin Dong slightly surprised was that most of the people who entered the forest were mutually hostile, but looking at these three, they were clearly working together.

  "Hand over your ID card."

  Among the three, a dark-skinned young man stared at Lin Dong, and as he spoke, his two companions also tacitly dispersed to the left and right, half-surrounding Lin Dong.

  Looking at the three people who were sent to his doorstep for the first time, Lin Dong couldn't help but smile and shake his head, walking up slowly, but he didn't intend to take out his ID card.

  "Get moving!"

  When Lin Dong made this move, the three men's faces slightly sank, and a faint glow appeared on their bodies. Judging from their appearance, all three of them had actually reached the sixth level of Tempering the Body.

  The yuan force surged, and the three of them also appeared at the same time. Fists flew in waves, ferociously pouncing towards Lin Dong.

  Three people had the upper hand in terms of numbers, but for Lin Dong, this was not even a slight threat. With his current strength, it would be easy to take care of these three people, and it would only take a blink of an eye. Thus, within just over ten seconds, the three people who were full of ferocity just now were wailing as they fell to the ground.

  Lin Dong smiled all over his face as he took out his ID card from among the three people's arms, then raised his hand and laughed: "Thanks."

  After finishing speaking, he leisurely walked past the three of them and continued to head towards the depths of the forest, leaving the three people on the ground with bitter faces, not expecting that they had just made a move and kicked such a hard iron plate.

  …

  After the previous three robbers, Lin Dong met two more unlucky guys who wanted to lay hands on him. These two were slightly stronger and had reached the seventh layer of Tempering Marrow, but for Lin Dong, who had already entered the Earth Realm, they were just lambs sent to his door.

  He leisurely passed by and successfully collected five identity plates. Adding his own one, he was only short of four more to meet the conditions for ascending the stone platform.

  As for this, Lin Dong didn't rush, to be honest, with his current strength at the Earth Profound Realm, it would be easy and effortless to get through this forest, there was no need to worry excessively.

  Along the way, apart from encountering those robbers who blocked his path and stole his identity card, Lin Dong also ran into some ferocious beasts in the forest. However, these ferocious beasts apparently posed no threat to him, and with just a few swift moves, he would slay them.

  As time passed, Lin Dong also gradually went deeper into the forest. At this point, most of the people he met were quite capable, after all, being able to make it through the numerous interceptions and arrive here wasn't something that could be easily accomplished without some ability.

  As he delved deeper, Lin Dong also gained two more identity plates, bringing the total to eight, which was quite close to the condition of ten. However, what made Lin Dong somewhat perplexed as he delved deeper was that he had yet to encounter Lei Li and Xie Yingying.

  In the jungle, Lin Dong sat cross-legged under a large tree, took out a dry biscuit from his bosom and nibbled two mouthfuls, then closed his eyes as if he was taking a short rest.

  "Hah!"

  Just as Lin Dong's eyes closed, a cluster of trees suddenly trembled slightly, and an arrow shot out abruptly towards Lin Dong.

  The arrow flew, but just as it was about to enter Lin Dong's body at a distance of about ten feet, Lin Dong's palm suddenly grasped out and actually caught the arrow in his hand. Then he threw it back in the direction of the thicket.

  An arrow shot into the thicket, a lithe figure sprang out and landed on a tree trunk, vigilantly staring at the movement in the forest.

  Lin raised her eyes carelessly and took a glance at that person. A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, it was actually a woman.

  The figure on the tree trunk was a girl wearing a leather skirt, her slender body wrapped in a tight-fitting shirt, showing off her curves and dynamism. Her skin wasn't the pale complexion of an ordinary woman, but rather a healthy, sun-kissed copper color that exuded a wild and sensual aura. This girl was like a small leopard, full of explosive power.

  At this time, the girl was vigilantly watching Lin Dong, in his hand, grasping a green wooden bow, with a wooden arrow already unknowingly nocked.

  Of course, Lin Dong's astonishment was not because the other party was a woman, but because of her sharp movements. According to his speculation, this girl had probably reached the eighth level of Tempering the Body, which was already extremely powerful.

  "You want the ID card on me? I'm afraid you've got the wrong target." Lin Dong stuffed all the dry cakes in his hand into his mouth, then smiled.

  "Are you Lin Dong?" The girl in the beast skin skirt stared at Lin Dong and suddenly spoke up, her voice still having a clear and crisp tone of a young girl, but with a hint of huskiness that complemented her well-developed figure, making her seem quite sexy.

  "Huh?" Lin Dong was taken aback, he hadn't expected this girl to know his name.

  "Heh heh, I told her." Amidst Lin Dong's astonishment, a sudden burst of laughter echoed from not far away, and then the leaves rustled as a figure appeared before Lin Dong's eyes - it was actually Wu Yun.

  Seeing Wu Yun appear, Lin's eyebrows slightly furrowed, saying: "What is this?"

  "Don't get me wrong, with so many name tags here, I wouldn't have noticed you if I didn't want to cooperate with you." Wu Yun said, waving his hand repeatedly.

  "What's cooperation? With your strength, getting ten identity cards is easy, right?" Lin Dong said.

  "We've found a strange beast here." Wu Yun stepped forward two steps and said in a low voice.

  "What? What kind of monster?" Lin raised an eyebrow, could it be that there really was a monster in this thicket?

  "Fire Python Tiger." Wu Yun's voice dropped again.

  "Fire Python Tiger, how did that monster end up here?"

  Upon hearing the name, Lin's palms trembled uncontrollably, and he gazed at Wu Yun with a strange expression, saying: "Are you looking to die? A fully grown Fire Python Tiger is comparable to a Tianyuan realm expert! We can't handle that thing."

  Huǒ páng hǔ, Lín dòng qián duàn shí jiān zài lín jiā wǔ xué guǎn zhōng, zhèng hǎo kàn guò yī běn yāo shòu jiàn, ér qí zhōng biàn shì yǒu zhe zhè huǒ páng hǔ, zhè yāo shòu, xiōng míng bù ruò, chéng nián zhuàng tài de zhàn dòu lì, zú yǐ gēn tiān yuán jìng de gāo shǒu xiāng bǐ, bù guò zhè zhǒng céng xī de yāo shòu, zhǐ yǒu zài shēn shān zhōng cái néng yù jiàn, rú jīn zěn me huì zài zhè lǐ chū xiàn?

  "Don't worry, that Fire Python Tiger is heavily injured. Looking at its appearance, it should have escaped from the deep mountains, and most importantly, the Fire Python Tiger has just given birth to a cub." Wu Yun whispered to Lin Dong.

  "Born calves?"

  These two words made Lin Dong take a deep breath of cold air, and his face also changed color. The Fire Python Tiger is a fierce beast after it grows up, but due to its violent nature, only if it's tamed when it's young can it be domesticated. Therefore, whoever gets the Fire Python Tiger cub will have a pet that rivals a Tian Yuan realm expert in the future!

  If this news gets out, the major forces in Qingyang Town will probably be eager to take action. After all, even if it's the Lin family, which has developed for so many years, there are only four people in the Tianyuan realm in the entire family.

  "Lei Li and Xie Yingying have already gone there, and they've also found some helpers. So I can only come to find you. You should know that if the Lei and Xie families get their hands on the Huo Mang Tiger cubs, it won't be a good thing for the Lin family and the Kuang Dao Martial Arts Academy in the future." Wu Yun said with a serious expression.

  Lin's eyebrows were furrowed, and he hadn't expected this good hunt to take such a turn. The young Fire Python Tiger... if the Lei and Xie families found out, they probably wouldn't even bother with the competition, and would come down personally to capture it. Fortunately, it seemed that news hadn't gotten out yet.

  "How is it?" Wu Yun also looked at Lin Dong's changing face with some tension. Lei Li and the others were strong, if Lin Dong didn't make a move, just relying on him, it was obvious that he wouldn't be able to succeed.

  Lin Dong nodded his head suddenly under Wu Yun's delighted gaze after a moment of silence.

  "Alright, let's get started!"

  Today's second update is done, there's still one more to go~~~~ Does everyone still have a recommendation ticket? Please give it to Wu Dong, thank you!
