"What's wrong? Are you going to make a move on those four?" the man wearing the white mask asked.
"They've just been trained. Of course, we need to train them. Besides, since they dared to come all the way here, they must be four fat lambs. We'll definitely be able to get a lot of crystals from them," the man wearing the dark red mask said with a sinister smile.
"That's true," the man wearing the white mask nodded in agreement.
After saying that, the two of them followed behind Lin Long and the others.
Lin Long and the others didn't know that something like this was happening behind them. At this moment, they were still moving forward.
After walking for a while, they encountered four vicious beasts. They immediately took out their grade 4 Ice Talismans and activated them. Lin Long did the same.
In a situation where there were so many vicious beasts, they naturally had to end the battle quickly to avoid attracting other vicious beasts. It was precisely because of this that Lin Long decided to attack together.
Otherwise, Elder Wang and the other two would have been enough. With their strength, these four vicious beasts weren't a match for them.
In a short period of time, the four vicious beasts were all trapped.
Whoosh!
Right at this moment, a sound suddenly rang out from behind them.
Hearing the sound, Lin Long knew that it was another cold sword shot out by the Ice Sword Tiger. The target of this cold sword was still Yao Lei.
Yao Lei hurriedly dodged to the side, but he was still a step too late. This was related to the vicious beast in front of him.
Because he was a step too late, he was directly injured by the cold sword.
The cold sword directly pierced into his right calf, causing him to fall to the ground. Not only did this cold sword injure him, but it also caused him to shiver from the cold.
Since Lin Long and the others were some distance away from him, and they were also dealing with vicious beasts, they couldn't help him in time.
Because of this, Yao Lei was directly injured.
Just as Yao Lei fell to the ground, another whoosh sounded. Clearly, another cold sword was coming from the same direction.
This time, Elder Wang made a move. The cold energy he released directly blocked the cold sword.
"It's in that direction. Hall Master Xing, follow me!" Lin Long said coldly.
He immediately chased in the direction where the cold sword had come from.
Hall Master Xing hurriedly followed behind Zhang Xuan. During this period of time, they had managed to slay the four ferocious beasts, allowing them to focus on dealing with the Coldsword Tiger.
In the next moment, Linlong furrowed his brows. He realized that the Coldsword Tiger was running away.
Based on his understanding of the Coldblade Tiger, this situation was clearly not right.
Linlong naturally did not give up. Instead, he continued to give chase. He did not want the Coldsword Tiger to launch another sneak attack while they were moving forward.
However, Linlong came to a stop after chasing it for a while. He noticed that there was a group of beasts in the direction the Cold Sword Tiger was running in.
If they continued to chase and were discovered by the group of beasts, it would be bad. Hence, he could only choose to give up.
Noticing that Lin Long had come to a halt, Hall Master Xing could not help but ask, "Gongzi, what's wrong?"
"There's a group of ferocious beasts ahead. It's not easy to chase after them … Let's go back." With that said, Linlong turned around and ran back the way he came.
He was worried that something would happen behind their backs when they left.
To his relief, Elder Wang and Yao Lei were both there when he returned. Nothing had happened.
Seeing that Linlong and Elder Wang had returned, Elder Wang quickly asked, "Gongzi, did you kill the Coldblade Tiger?"
"No." Linlong shook his head. "It escaped, and it just so happened that there's a group of ferocious beasts in the direction it escaped in. In order to prevent any accidents from happening, we had no choice but to return."
"It actually knows how to escape?" Hearing those words, Elder Wang was naturally shocked.
"I don't know why, but it really escaped. Furthermore, it escaped to a place with many ferocious beasts," Linlong replied.
"In that case, we'll have to be careful from now on. The Coldblade Tiger is a vengeful person. It would be bad if it were to come back and stab us with its sword, especially when we're dealing with the ferocious beasts," Elder Wang said with a frown.
"Un. We'll have to be even more careful later on." Linlong nodded.
Following that, he took out a top-tier recovery pill and passed it to the meditating Yao Lei.
"Gongzi, I've already consumed the recovery pill," Yao Lei quickly waved his hands.
"The effects of my healing medicine are much better than yours. Take it," said Linlong.
Although he didn't believe it, Yao Lei still took it and consumed it.
As soon as he consumed it, he could feel that the recovery pill Linlong gave him was not something his own recovery pill could compare to.
"Gongzi, where did you get this recovery pill? It's clearly much better than ordinary recovery pills!" Elder Wang couldn't help but ask.
"Just obediently meditate and heal," Linlong said with an indifferent expression.
Hearing those words, Yao Lei didn't dare to ask anything else. Instead, he obediently meditated and healed his wounds.
As there was no danger in the vicinity, Linlong didn't look for other places. Instead, he waited here with Elder Wang.
Two hours later, they continued their journey.
It had only been two hours, but Yao Lei was already able to walk. This naturally shocked Elder Wang and the others.
At that moment, they could tell that it was all thanks to Linlong's recovery pill.
As such, they treated the recovery pill that Linlong had just given them as a treasure. During this period of time, Linlong had given each of them several recovery pills.
Not long after, the four of them encountered another fierce beast. This time, it was another four level four fierce beasts. They could have avoided these four fierce beasts, but there were obviously more fierce beasts in the other direction, so they chose to go in the direction of these four fierce beasts.
As soon as they saw the four savage beasts, they simultaneously activated the grade-4 Glacial Talismans in their hands.
Soon, the four savage beasts fell into a disadvantageous position.
It was then that Linlong sensed that something was amiss. He could vaguely sense that the Frostblade Tiger was hiding not too far away.
As expected, as soon as this thought surfaced in his mind, a chilling sword immediately shot toward him from the direction he sensed.
Furthermore, the target of this attack was Yao Lei. Yao Lei was in the midst of dealing with a savage beast, and on top of that, he was already injured. How could he possibly dodge the chilling sword in time?
Just when Elder Wang and Hall Master Xing thought that Yao Lei was injured by the chilling sword again, Linlong suddenly made a move. He activated a layer of Glacial Qi to block the chilling sword.
This was also thanks to Linlong's premonition. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to help Yao Lei block the chilling sword so quickly.
As soon as Linlong made a move, the savage beast he was dealing with immediately pounced toward him.
However, due to its injuries, the savage beast's movements were extremely slow. In the blink of an eye, it was stopped by Elder Wang.
"Hall Master Xing, chase after it!" Linlong frowned as he charged in the direction of the Frostblade Tiger.
By this time, Hall Master Xing had already dealt with the savage beast he was dealing with, and he immediately followed behind Linlong.
The two of them soon caught sight of the Frostblade Tiger. However, their expressions turned ugly when they realized that the Frostblade Tiger had actually turned around and fled once again.
Naturally, the two of them were unwilling to give up just like that. Thus, they continued chasing after the Frostblade Tiger.
However, the same thing happened once more. The Frostblade Tiger once again charged in the direction of the savage beasts.
If they were to continue pursuing the Frostblade Tiger, it was very likely that they would be surrounded by the savage beasts. Thus, Linlong and Hall Master Xing could only give up.
"Gongzi, did we fail to catch up to it again?" Elder Wang and Yao Lei involuntarily asked after seeing the two of them quickly return and recalling the previous matter.
The situation is the same as before. Not only did it flee, it even fled into the direction of the savage beasts. There's no way we can catch up to it at all, "Hall Master Xing replied with a frown.
"Is this Frostblade Tiger the same as the one we encountered earlier?" Yao Lei asked.
"I don't know," Yao Lei replied with a shake of his head.
"It should be the same one," Linlong replied.
Even though he failed to catch up to the Frostblade Tiger, based on his experience, he was confident that it was the same one.
"When did the Frostblade Tiger become so intelligent?" Elder Wang asked.
"It's truly intelligent. To think that it would even choose its previous target to attack," Hall Master Xing remarked.
"If it were to make another move against us from the shadows, it'll be a huge problem for us," Yao Lei said.
He was the target of the Frostblade Tiger every single time, so it was only natural for him to feel an inexplicable sense of panic.
Even though he was worried, there was nothing else they could do. They could only continue forward.
However, Linlong released the bamboo rat in the following period of time. The reason he did that was to let the bamboo rat remember the Coldsword Tiger's scent. When the time came, he would be able to hunt it down based on the scent.
It was dangerous to release his bamboo rat in a place like this, but he had no choice but to do so in order to deal with the Frostblade Tiger.
A while later, they encountered three savage beasts.
This time, it was Elder Wang and the other two who made a move. Linlong watched from the side. However, to their surprise, the Frostblade Tiger didn't make a move this time.
After killing the three savage beasts, Yao Lei couldn't help but wonder, "Is it because the Frostblade Tiger is too intelligent? Did it think that it wouldn't be easy for it to launch a sneak attack while we were dealing with the three savage beasts? Or is it afraid of us?"
However, how could Linlong and the other two answer his question?
Fortunately, they weren't too far away from the central palace. They could even see the silhouette of the palace.
Under Linlong's lead, they continued to advance forward.
After taking a few steps, Linlong stopped them. This was because there were four savage beasts on both their left and right sides.
After investigating for a while, Linlong chose to head to the right. Even though the savage beasts on the left side seemed to be weaker, there was a group of savage beasts on the left side. It would be bad if they were attracted by the sounds of battle.
Since they chose to head to the right side, they quickly encountered the four savage beasts.
Immediately, the four of them activated the grade 4 icy talismans in their hands.
It was also at this moment that Linlong sensed danger again. It was obvious that the Frostblade Tiger was on his right side.
As soon as he sensed danger, he immediately shouted, "Yao Lei, be careful!"
Upon hearing his words, Yao Lei shivered and hurriedly dodged to the side.
At the same time, a cold sword shot toward Yao Lei with a whoosh. However, since Yao Lei had dodged in advance, the cold sword didn't cause any harm to him.
By the time Yao Lei dodged, Linlong had already chased after the Frostblade Tiger.
Hall Master Xing was still following behind him.
The two of them didn't chase for long before they stopped again. This was because the Frostblade Tiger had fled to a place with many savage beasts.
As such, the two of them could only return to where they were before.
"This Frostblade Tiger is really persistent!" Hall Master Xing couldn't help but curse.
If he hadn't seen the Frostblade Tiger's back, he would have thought that it wasn't the Frostblade Tiger that launched a sneak attack, but someone else.
"I've already confirmed that this Frostblade Tiger is the one that launched a sneak attack," Linlong said.
"Then, young master, has the bamboo rat memorized its aura?" Elder Wang hurriedly asked.
Looking at the bamboo rat beside him, Linlong nodded and said, "Yes, I have."
"Then, should we continue forward or deal with the Frostblade Tiger first?" Hall Master Xing asked.
"Let's deal with the Frostblade Tiger first," Linlong said.
The reason why he made this decision was because he could sense that there would be more and more savage beasts inside. If the Frostblade Tiger launched another sneak attack, they definitely wouldn't be able to deal with it as easily as they did now. Naturally, they had to deal with the Frostblade Tiger first.
After confirming that there was no danger in the surroundings, Linlong immediately asked the bamboo rat to sense the Frostblade Tiger's location.
After the bamboo rat sensed its location, Linlong's expression changed. The Frostblade Tiger was clearly behind them. Since it was beyond the range of his Divine Sense, he couldn't sense it.
Even if he could sense it, he would think that it was some other savage beast. After all, it was quite a distance away.
It's obvious that it did the same thing earlier, Linlong thought.
He immediately whispered, "The Frostblade Tiger is right behind us."
"It can't be, right? Why does the Frostblade Tiger look like a human?!" Elder Wang and the other two were naturally shocked.
Elder Wang then asked, "Young master, what should we do?"
"The three of you continue forward and head to the right. I'll circle around and see if I can stop it," Linlong said.
Elder Wang and the other two continued forward. As for Linlong, he circled around to the right. As he circled around, he activated his Dantian Record to the extreme.
This was to prevent the Frostblade Tiger from sensing his aura.
A moment later, a smile appeared on his face. This was because the Frostblade Tiger didn't sense his approach.
At this moment, the Frostblade Tiger naturally followed closely behind Elder Wang and the other two.
As time passed, the Frostblade Tiger got closer and closer. When the Frostblade Tiger was right in front of him, Linlong, who was ready to strike, activated the level-four Ice Talisman in his hand.
As soon as the Ice Talisman was activated, waves of cold air enveloped the Frostblade Tiger with Linlong at the center.
The Frostblade Tiger felt that something was wrong. However, just as it was about to escape, it was already enveloped by Linlong's cold air.
For a moment, it was trapped on the spot.
'Let's see where you can run to now!' Linlong sneered inwardly.
At this moment, his expression changed because he heard footsteps coming from another direction. It was obvious that there were ferocious beasts rushing towards him.
Such a savage beast was rushing over at such a crucial moment. Could it be that the Frostblade Tiger wasn't destined to die? Linlong frowned.
