Chapter 43: The Demonic Beast and the Pursuit

  The sun just rising, shone on his body without any warmth, but instead the dampness in the forest made Wu Ming shiver.

  As long as I can escape, it will be tonight, and tonight I can cross over to the martial arts world. If there is a month's time to prepare, it would be better than this pressing threat.

  A month is enough time to get many things done.

  Unfortunately, I didn't notice at the time, and Sister Shifu ran so far with me on her back.

  Wu Ming shook his head, it seemed that after all, the experience of this side of the Jianghu was still a bit lacking. If they had been more discreet, they wouldn't have made such a mistake, and now they were fleeing like fugitives. In these deep mountains and ancient forests, when would they be able to settle down?

  All the way into the mountains, thinking only of how to escape the Yang family's pursuit, as long as they reached a human town it would be easier, at that time with just one Easy Disguise Pill, in the vast sea of people, the Yang family's people would probably also have difficulty finding themselves. Unfortunately, these mountains and forests were desolate and uninhabited, fearing that even if they ate an Easy Disguise Pill, they still wouldn't be able to escape the Yang family's pursuit.

  While thinking, he darted into the mountain forest at an extremely fast speed.

  They walked until the sun was high in the sky before taking a short rest, catching a wild chicken and roasting it over an open flame to replenish their energy. Otherwise, if they were caught up, not to mention engaging in combat, they probably wouldn't even have the strength to run away. As for preparing lunch, Wu Ming didn't think of going to any open areas, instead finding a secluded thicket, which made it less likely for them to be discovered.

  Chirping sounds...

  "Hmm...Hmm...Hmm..."

  "Hmm..."

  Hundreds of meters away, a large flock of birds can still be seen flying out of the forest, chirping and chattering loudly, flapping their wings to hit the leaves and branches.

  "Huh?" Wu Ming, who was eating a chicken leg, suddenly swallowed the unchewed meat in his mouth and looked around cautiously. The atmosphere around him seemed to be somewhat off.

  "Roar......"

  A thunderous tiger's roar, accompanied by a gust of evil wind, pounced directly at Wu Ming's occipital bone. Wu Ming suddenly felt a chill in the back of his head, and a pungent wind assailed him, the stench was so strong that it almost made him dizzy, but at this moment he had no time to react, and could only roll to the side into a clump of grass.

  Having barely escaped this fatal blow, Wu Ming's back began to sweat profusely. It was really a close call; if he had been bitten by that demonic tiger, his head would have probably been bitten off. The forest was treacherous, and at this moment, it truly revealed its ferocity.

  More than two zhang away from Wu Ming, a giant tiger over five meters long was staring at the disheveled Wu Ming with a pair of blood-red eyes. The golden "Wang" character on its head shone particularly brightly, and its four limbs were as thick as a child's waist. As it breathed out, the stench emanating from its mouth reached Wu Ming's face.

  Seeing the giant tiger's slightly excited appearance, Wu Ming's heart sank. This big guy, although not as large as that small snake-necked beast, was absolutely no weaker in terms of strength. At least it was a First Heaven Five or Six Realm being. However, with Wu Ming currently severely injured and not yet fully recovered, dealing with it might be somewhat troublesome.

  "A tiger fell in Pingyang and was cheated by a dog. Damn, even getting lunch can attract this big guy." Wu Ming secretly hated it, didn't expect that last time with Shi Jingxuan, not even seeing the shadow of a demon beast, but now being seriously injured, instead attracted such a large tiger.

  That time, although he was seriously injured, it was just a severe beating by the giant power of the snake-necked dragon. But this time, there is an unusual energy in his body. As for the injury, it's fundamentally impossible to compare with the previous one, and there's a huge difference between heaven and earth. Even if he had elixirs on him, it would take several days to recover. However, at this moment, he didn't encounter Yang's pursuers, but instead encountered a pre-heavenly realm demon beast.

  Suddenly, the big tiger's front paws retreated half a step, looking at Wu Ming's back with a vigilant face. And there, Wu Ming seemed to have heard a sliding sound, extremely faint but so real.

  "Hiss..."

  Just as Wu Ming was about to react, a huge snake head emerged from behind him, targeting his waist.

  "Damn it, I'm so unlucky today!" Wu Ming yelled loudly and rolled on the ground. At that speed, he couldn't jump out of the way even if he wanted to. The snake's head whipped over like a whip, and this time it wouldn't move in a straight line. As long as its head tilted slightly, it could bite Wu Ming.

  But this time, it was clearly not as lucky as before. The snake's head flew over, but its entire body pressed down, pinning Wu Ming firmly to the ground. The tens of meters long body kept writhing, seemingly with a tendency to roll Wu Ming up. A python as thick as a water bucket, if it really wrapped around him, was likely to crush all his bones.

  "Grandpa didn't check the almanac today and ran into these two..." Wu Mingyun stirred up the true energy in his dantian, wanting to shake off the giant python on him. Just then, a loud voice rang out beside his ear.

  "Hiss......"

  An eagle's cry, Wu Ming's face changed color, this sound, absolutely not what a congenital demon beast can have, and heard that the Yang family's old ancestor has a large eagle as a mount, won't be... could it be that he has caught up? So fast!

  "Roar......"

  The giant tiger was unwilling to show weakness, even if it knew that its strength was much lower. As the king of the jungle, its momentum would never weaken, and instead, the giant python seemed somewhat intimidated. As a natural enemy, the python had an innate fear of the eagle, let alone the huge difference in strength.

  "Roar......"

  Another loud tiger roar echoed, the entire mountain forest was in a panic, a giant tiger nearly ten feet tall revealed its massive body, a pair of blood-red eyes staring angrily at the flying eagle in the sky. It turned out that this congenital giant tiger was not showing off, but seeking help.

  "Get out of here, you beast!"

  Above the flying eagle, a loud voice rang out. Wu Ming didn't need to look to know that this was someone from the Yang family. As his voice sounded, a powerful energy descended from hundreds of meters high in the air, slashing towards the newly emerged giant tiger far away. As he spoke, those sharp eyes pierced through the dense tree shadows and looked at Wu Ming who was lying on the ground, apparently also discovering Wu Ming's existence.

  "Roar......"

  A shocking tiger's roar sounded again, and visible sound waves shot up, actually breaking through and dispersing that powerful energy.

  "Hmm!"

  A cold hum came from the sky, a figure descended from the heavens and pounced down, with both hands clenched into claws.

  "Try my Eagle Claw again!"

  "It's a good time to run!" Wu Ming thought to himself, his body slipping out from under the giant python and dashing into the thicket in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, the python had already planned its escape route and didn't bother with him, or else he wouldn't have been able to get away.
