Two days and two nights later, although it was already spring, the Seven Seas Pass still seemed to be frozen in ice and snow. Moreover, the sky was still drifting with large snowflakes. Lin Muyu slowly rode her horse to the outskirts of the city, but she did not enter. She raised her Pear Blossom Spear and silently guarded the barren forest, allowing the snow to fall on her body.
"Wu wu …"
Beside the horse's hooves, the Akatosaurus whimpered, its body slightly curled up. It seemed to be complaining that this place was extremely cold and asking Lin Muyu why she had to come to this kind of place to suffer.
Lin Muyu was worried about Tang Xiaoxi. She dismounted and gently stroked the little dragon's head. "Your Big Sister Xiao Xi is in danger. We have to protect her."
The Akatosaurus seemed to understand. It slowly raised its head, then used its head to rub against Lin Muyu's arm and nestled in her embrace. The human and pet were together, keeping each other warm.
Outside the Seven Seas Pass was the Dragon Seeking Forest. It was not safe, and very few merchants dared to pass through here during the day. Even if they dared to go on the main road, they would gather at least a hundred people before setting off. Even the Tian Chong Legion's patrols that went out of the city had at least a hundred people.
… …
As night fell, Lin Muyu shivered as she started a bonfire in the sea of snow. The little dragon whimpered as it took up residence in the surroundings. This time, Lin Muyu had come out in a hurry and did not prepare anything. Thus, she had no tent or food. She could only melt some snow for drinking water. As for food, it was a wild rabbit that she had hunted in the mountains not long ago.
The wild rabbit on the bonfire gave off a strong fragrance. Lin Muyu only had time to eat one leg before the rest was eaten by the Akatosaurus. This little fellow's appetite was too good. It ate more than half of the rabbit, but it was still complaining about being hungry. It was no wonder, as it usually ate at least seven or eight rabbits a day.
Lin Muyu's gaze never left the Great Dao. At the same time, the Spirit Pulse Technique was also maintained in a state of activation. Not a single aura in the surroundings could escape his senses. The Pear Blossom Spear stabbed into the snow at the side. Hugging the Dragon Spirit Sword, he slowly fell asleep. But not long after, he suddenly opened his eyes. In the southeast direction, a very strong aura was rapidly approaching.
"Xiao Xi … Xiao Xi …"
He opened his eyes and looked hopefully into the distance. However, he was disappointed. Not long after, a Bloodthirsty Tiger appeared in his field of vision. This was a Bloodthirsty Tiger that came out to hunt at the beginning of spring. There were three golden lines on its head. It was a 3000-year-old spirit beast. In the past, it would have been a deadly existence, but now … this 3000-year-old Bloodthirsty Tiger was not even worthy of Lin Muyu's attention.
However, because of the Spirit Pulse Technique, Lin Muyu's aura was restrained. Thus, in the eyes of the Bloodthirsty Tiger, Lin Muyu was nothing more than a delicious meal. Its paws lightly landed on the snow, and it walked step by step towards Lin Muyu. The Bloodthirsty Tiger's eyes were filled with a fierce light. It could not wait to enjoy this delicious meal.
Lin Muyu let out a long sigh. He could not help but feel disappointed. He had thought that this aura belonged to Tang Xiaoxi. Thus, he gently stroked the little dragon's head. "The feast is coming soon. Wait for it!"
The Akatosaurus raised its head and rubbed against his arm. It howled as if to say, "Then why aren't you going?"
However, Lin Muyu could not be bothered to move. He was waiting for the Bloodthirsty Tiger to make the first move.
Sure enough, after circling the area for two rounds, the Bloodthirsty Tiger suddenly pounced towards Lin Muyu with a furious roar. It swung its claws repeatedly, using the "Severing" attack that it was famous for. However, this time, it was obviously unable to sever the claws. Lin Muyu raised his palm, and the Golden Gourd emerged from his body to form the wall of the gourd.
"Kill!"
The Dragon Spirit Sword was quickly unsheathed. It contained the golden power of dawn and sliced through the air!
"Roar …"
Although the Bloodthirsty Tiger was roaring, its roar was clearly laced with fear. It hurriedly retreated a few steps and used the steel fur on its head to block the attack. The Bloodthirsty Tiger's fur was extremely tough, especially for a Bloodthirsty Tiger that had lived for thousands of years. Ordinary swords would not be able to cut through it. However, the current Lin Muyu was no longer the same as before. The moment the Dragon Spirit Sword touched the Bloodthirsty Tiger's head, he already felt that it would not be able to cut through it in one blow. However, this did not affect him. The power of dawn on the blade transformed into a ray of sword qi and shot out!
Light Splitting Slash!
The Bloodthirsty Tiger howled in pain and retreated. Its head and fur were undamaged, but brain matter splattered out and flowed down its chin. Under the might of the Light Splitting Slash, even a 3000-year-old Spiritual Beast would not be able to escape the fate of being instantly killed!
"Go!"
With Lin Muyu's order, the Akatosaurus immediately pounced over and bit through the Bloodthirsty Tiger's throat. After confirming that it was dead, it began to enjoy its meal. It devoured the Bloodthirsty Tiger's Beast Soul and Spiritual Core. In the blink of an eye, it had devoured half of the 300-kilogram Bloodthirsty Tiger. Its appetite was truly frightening.
After eating its fill, the Akatosaurus curled up beside Lin Muyu with its mouth full of blood. It suddenly opened its mouth and let out a burp, spitting out flames that melted the surrounding snow and created a warm, dry ground. Then, it curled up head to tail and slept, snoring loudly. At the same time, three silver lines appeared on its forehead.
After devouring the Bloodthirsty Tiger's Origin Soul, the Little Dragon had already evolved into an 800-year-old Spiritual Beast. The growth rate of the Holy Dragon Tribe was truly astonishing!
Lin Muyu did not disturb its sleep. After absorbing so much spiritual energy, the Akatosaurus needed a good sleep to digest it and make it its own.
… …
Even when dawn came, there was still no sign of Tang Xiaoxi. However, the Akatosaurus was already jumping around in the snow like a little puppy.
Lin Muyu was not in the mood to enjoy its fun and continued to guard the snow with a heavy heart. But at this moment, suddenly, the rumbling sound of iron chains came from the Seven Seas Pass, and the iron gate slowly opened.
"Have the patrols come out again?" Lin Muyu thought to herself.
However, it was not the patrols who came out, but a group of people in Seven Seas Province's military uniform. Moreover, there were quite a few of them, close to 2,000 people, all wearing the same armor and weapons.
It seemed that the people of Seven Seas City had also received the news.
Lin Muyu frowned, but found that the 2,000 people of Seven Seas City were actually coming straight for her. They were very fast, and it was already too late to get on a horse to dodge.
"There's someone there, surround him!"
When Lin Muyu stood up, she was already heavily surrounded. A group of Seven Seas City soldiers looked at her with swords drawn, as if they might attack at any time.
Lightly patting the badge on her shoulder and the imperial military rank on her collar, Lin Muyu said lightly: "Are your dog eyes blind? Don't you recognize these?"
A centurion respectfully cupped his fists and said: "General, we recognize the military rank, but the area outside the Seven Seas Pass is originally a restricted area. May I know why you are here alone?"
"I'll go wherever I want. Besides, this is the territory of North Ridge Province, not Seven Seas City. But you …" Lin Muyu raised her sword-like eyebrows and shouted angrily: "The army of Seven Seas Province dares to trespass the imperial territory without the emperor's order. What crime do you deserve?!"
The centurion was stunned by the scolding and was speechless.
At this time, the crowd of the army slowly separated, and a man wearing the armor of a senior officer rode over and said with a smile: "I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be the second of the Four Heroes of Lanyan, Lin Muyu!"
"Tang Bin?"
Lin Muyu also recognized him and said: "Lin Muyu greets Young Master Tang Bin."
"No need to be so polite."
Tang Bin looked at him deeply and said: "Lord Lin Muyu is now the General of the South and also the commander of the Eagle Nest Camp. Why would you come to the Seven Seas Pass alone?"
Lin Muyu narrowed his eyes: "I'm afraid you have to ask Young Master Tang Bin this question. Didn't you also bring a large group of people over?"
Tang Bin revealed a sorrowful expression and said: "Yes, we have received Yu's letter early in the morning. It is unknown whether Xiao Xi is alive or dead. Grandfather is very worried about her safety, so he sent more than two thousand warriors of the family personally led by me to the Dragon Seeking Forest to search for Xiao Xi's whereabouts. Lin Muyu Daren, the purpose of your trip is …?"
Lin Muyu cupped her fists: "I entered the Dragon Seeking Forest to search for Xiao Xi under His Majesty's imperial edict."
"So our purpose is the same!"
Tang Bin smiled slightly: "Lord entering the Dragon Seeking Forest alone, one fear that something bad will happen. How about you follow us to search for Xiao Xi, how about it?"
"This …"
Lin Muyu smiled. "I'm used to being alone, so it's better for me to be alone."
"Really?"
A trace of coldness flashed past Tang Bin's eyes as he said with a smile: "Xiao Xi is Grandfather's most doted junior. Her life and death is related to the fate of the entire Seven Seas City, so there must not be any mistakes in this matter. I think … Lord Lin Muyu Daren should come with us, otherwise if anything happens, I, Tang Bin will not be able to explain to Grandfather and His Majesty. Lord is a person who understands the circumstances, you should know what to do and what not to do right?"
At the side, the old man who was called 'Elder Jing' also smiled and said: "Lord Lin Muyu, let's go together. Anyway our purpose is the same."
Around them, a group of Seven Seas City guards had already revealed their ferocious looks.
Under Lin Muyu's Spiritual Pulse Technique, the strength of these people was clear to her. Tang Bin's cultivation had improved a lot and had already reached the peak of the First Heaven of the Heavenly State, while that Elder Jing was at the Second Heaven of the Heavenly State. There were also a dozen or so people who were at the Third Heaven of the Earth State, and many of them were not much weaker. If they really fought, Lin Muyu had almost no chance of winning.
The people of Seven Seas City came in a menacing manner, and they looked like they came with ill intentions. Lin Muyu naturally knew her limits, so she nodded and said: "Then let's go together to find Xiao Xi!"
With that, she mounted the horse and sheathed the Dragon Spirit Sword with a "clang". She raised her hand to grab the handle of the Pear Blossom Spear and pulled it out of the snow. Akatosaurus roared and followed closely behind.
Tang Bin glanced at Akatosaurus, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, but he did not make any big movements.
Although Lin Muyu was alone, it was not easy to kill him, and once he escaped, it would probably cause a big uproar when he returned to the imperial capital. Tang Bin also knew his limits. He would not make a move unless he was absolutely sure.
