The Sixth Five-Starred Beast of Snow Scales
On the fifth day, Tang Yan finally broke through to the Five-Star Warrior and his spiritual power had increased greatly. He no longer needed to swallow those insects and could now swallow small animals like mice, wild rabbits, and birds... Similarly, he absorbed several times more yuanling than those small insects. Tang Yan knew that at this rate, he wouldn't need two days to break through to the Six-Star Warrior, but soon discovered that there were too few small animals. It took him several hours to hunt down over a dozen, forcing Tang Yan to venture deeper into the forest to start his leveling work.
In these five days, Tang Yan's junior sister Zilan had gone to the back mountain to find him, but she didn't see any sign of Tang Yan, so she could only put some food in her hand into the small thatched hut. Because she knew that Tang Yan might go hunting in the back mountain, and in two years, she also had a certain understanding of Tang Yan's life.
If you ask Zilan if she likes Tang Yan or not, to be honest, she really doesn't know how to answer. Since two years ago, Tang Yan has been very close to her. She's already gotten used to having this little brother-like figure around in her life. Later, when her father told her that Tang Yan was a waste and asked her not to hang out with him anymore, she felt extremely lost inside.
From then on, Tang Yan's life began to deteriorate, being bullied and beaten by many senior brothers. At first, Zi Lan still intervened in Tang Yan's affairs. Later, Zi Lan discovered that the more she intervened in Tang Yan's affairs, the more severely Tang Yan was beaten by his senior brothers. So, from then on, Zi Lan also stopped intervening in Tang Yan's life. As a result, Tang Yan suffered fewer beatings, perhaps they thought that Zi Lan no longer cared about Tang Yan.
"What kind of person is he? How can he survive from the forbidden land?" Zilan said, taking out a few 100-yuan RMB notes.
Hehe, speaking of the few 100-yuan RMB bills in Zilan's hand, they were given to her by Tang Yan as a token of their engagement. At that time, Tang Yan also told her that when he became strong, he would marry her and make her his wife. Of course, Zilan's first kiss was also taken away by Tang Yan, or rather, it was stolen from her by Long Yu. At the time, it was said: "Little junior sister, look over there, a flying pig!" Then Tang Yan stretched out his mouth to Zilan's face, and when Zilan turned back, her fragrant lips were already stuck together with Tang Yan's pig-like mouth. At that time, Zilan was still angry with him for several days, but all of that is in the past now.
"Zilan, were you just delivering food to Tang Yan?" A middle-aged man in his forties walked in from outside and asked. This middle-aged man was named Tian Xiong, the leader of the Fist Gate Sect.
"Father, what's going on?" Zilan asked, putting away the banknotes in her hand.
"From now on, don't go and deliver things to that useless person again. I'll arrange for someone else to send it over!" Tian Xiong said to Zi Lan.
"Dad, actually Tang Yan has been working very hard, he's been practicing day and night for the past two years, don't you think..."
Zi Lan wanted to continue, but was immediately interrupted by Tian Xiong. He knew that this daughter was very good to Tang Yan and wanted him to come back here to live, but Tian Xiong opposed it and said: "From now on, don't get too close to him, let that waste rot in the back mountain!" After finishing speaking, Tian Xiong hastily went out the door, still cursing: "Damn it, I thought I picked up a golden son-in-law, but didn't expect it was a waste. This time I lost big, I've been collecting spiritual medicine for over a decade and can't even bear to use it myself, what a loss!" Tian Xiong thought about this matter, his fists constantly pounding his chest, as if he wanted to crash into the wall in frustration.
Think about it, these spiritual medicines can produce a Dou Shi, and using them yourself can also upgrade your cultivation level. Now, however, they've lost their wife and suffered casualties in battle.
In a certain room in the Fist Gate, several guys seemed to be planning something big. They were Tang Yan's second and third masters, as well as some scattered disciples of the Fist Gate. These scattered disciples were people who liked martial arts and were taken in by the Fist Gate. As long as they paid some gold coins, they could learn some fist and footwork skills. Therefore, the income of the Fist Gate came from these scattered disciples.
"Second Brother, I've investigated and found that Tang Yan hasn't returned for five days. I suspect he's become a meal for the Snow Scale Beast!" said Third Brother Lu Yu.
"Hmm, I know about this matter. Let's keep it among ourselves and not spread the word. Once I take over as the leader, I won't let anyone down!" said Second Brother Lu Bei.
"Second Master, don't worry, we've already bought off several of the scattered disciples. At that time, we'll cooperate with you!" Several scattered disciples said.
"Hmm, very good. After I become the leader, except for Purple Orchid, all of you younger sisters can do as you please! Haha, how's that!" Lu Bei laughed loudly and said.
Talking about Lu Yu and Lu Bei, it can be said that they both came from the same village. After they found out that Tang Yan had become useless, the position of leader would fall into the hands of their senior brother. At that time, Zi Lan would also have to marry their senior brother. Do you think these two guys would be willing? They might not care about being the leader, but they would lose Zi Lan, this stunningly beautiful junior sister.
So, the two of them agreed, one would take the position of leader, and the other would be his junior sister. They divided their responsibilities. This time, they planned to use Tang Yan to get rid of Tian Xiong. As long as they used a little trick, heh heh! At that time, the Fist Gate would belong to Lu Bei and Lu Yu, those two guys. And as for Big Brother Shifu, he would also become the stepping stone for their success.
The topic turned back to Tang Yan, within the five-day period, the food he brought with him had been consumed, at this time he had no choice but to start a fire and roast the animals he hunted himself.
"Old man, do you think a six-star warrior can defeat the Snow Scale Beast?" Tang Yan asked while roasting a wild rabbit by the fire.
"Of course!" said the old man.
"Really? If I'm not mistaken, that should be a third-order demon beast. Can we really beat it?" Tang Yan thought back to what his junior sister had told him about the Bone Pool.
"I said if you can win, then go for it. Would I ask you to send yourself to death?" the old man said to Tang Yan.
"Alright, I believe you." Tang Yan knew he wouldn't harm him, or else he wouldn't have been so good to him. Tang Yan thought of the mysterious space inside the Dragon Ring and couldn't help but ask: "Do you know where the Dragon Soul is?"
"Don't you know this already? Don't you know that every sect and ancient family in this world has a guardian beast, and the Dragon Soul should be scattered among several imperial palaces on the continent." The old man replied to him.
In this cold weapon fighting continent, some powerful families, sects, and royal families all raise a guardian beast, including ancient divine beasts. The Fist Sect where Tang Yan is located also raises one, but it's just a four-stage spirit leopard, which was brought back by Tian Xiang's grandfather from an auction house using a heavenly stage, when this spirit leopard was only a small leopard that had just been full moon. As for now, it has grown to the size of a small horse, and its attack power is believed to be at the level of a great Dou Shi, especially its speed.
On the seventh day, after Tang Yan absorbed a wild rabbit's soul, he finally broke through to the sixth-star warrior. The power within his body had grown stronger with the breakthrough, and his spiritual strength had also increased slightly. Now he believed he could devour a wild boar, and for a first-class magical beast, he also had confidence in killing it.
After breaking through the Six-Star Warrior, Tang Yan sat on the ground, circulating the Dragon-Eating Technique for several cycles. After finding no problems, he headed towards the Bone Pool. Time had made Tang Yan impatient, and it would take at least a day to return. He didn't want his little junior sister to worry about his safety.
After half a day's journey, Tang Yan finally saw the Bone Pool. The Bone Pool he had seen last year was now surrounded by many more bones. Although the pool was only over ten square meters wide, it was surrounded by piles of beast bones, and a Snow Scale Beast as big as a cow lay sleeping ten meters away from the pool.
"My god, it looks like a fourth-class demonic beast to me!" Tang Yan said, gazing from afar at the over 200-meter distant creature that was as large as a cow, with a tiger-like head and scales all over its body, its scales shining like snow.
"You're wrong, this one should be a fifth-grade demon beast!" The old man struck Tang Yan.
"What, a fifth-rank demonic beast? Dammit, I'd rather go back and get beaten by my senior brother than become this thing's lunch!" Tang Ye exclaimed upon hearing the old man's words.
"Suit yourself, but honestly, this pool is a treasure of the heavens. If you can soak in it, within a month, you'll definitely reach the level of a master fighter!" The old man said to Tang Yan.
"Just go ahead and blow, those magical beasts that fell in were all turned into bones, let alone I'm just a six-star fighter, forget it, I'll just go back and practice slowly!" Tang Yan said, looking at the white beast bones.
"You're such a coward, I'm not going to kill you, am I? If you're so afraid of death, then go back to your sect and suffer at their hands. I guarantee that this time they'll beat you to death, not just cripple you like before!" the old man said.
"Don't say that, I know you won't harm me, but you've also seen it, and even before approaching this pool, it's already become a delicacy in the Snow Scaled Beast's mouth," Tang Yan said.
"I'm telling you, you still have the nerve to call yourself a genius. I think you're just an idiot. Can't you come up with a way to lure it away? As long as you soak in the Bone Pool, it absolutely won't dare touch you. You saw that too, this thing is also afraid of the water in the pool!" The old man said to Tang Yan.
Yes, this fifth-order Snowscale Beast is extremely afraid of the water inside, and even a single drop can dissolve it. However, it really likes the crystal-clear Bone Dissolving Grass next to it. If it eats that branch of Bone Dissolving Grass, it can soak in the Bone Dissolving Pool to temper its body. So why doesn't it eat now? The reason is that the small fruit on this branch of Bone Dissolving Grass has not yet matured. If it eats a mature Bone Dissolving Grass fruit, the effect will be even better, so this Snowscale Beast is waiting for it to ripen.
"If you want to be good, I can give you a Dan medicine to eat, and you can soak in it for seven days without any problem!" The old man said to Tang Yan.
"Really? Alright, I'll go lure this thing away now. Don't try to trick me, or when I come back, I'll become a skull soldier!" Tang Yan said, holding the Ghost Head Knife in both hands.
