Lu Ye had thought that he had encountered a ferocious beast, but after coming into contact with it, he discovered that the tiger wasn't as strong as he had imagined.
It had been standing at the entrance of the cave, not daring to enter. If it was really much stronger than Lu Ye, why would it waste so much time talking?
That was the first reason.
The second reason was that it had asked Lu Ye for pills, so it had asked for spirit stones instead. Since spirit stones weren't enough, it had asked for healing pills instead.
From this, Lu Ye concluded that although the tiger was powerful, it was probably just an empty shell.
Lu Ye took out a healing pill and placed it at his feet. This was just a final test.
Sure enough, the tiger wasn't willing to approach Lu Ye and only asked him to throw the healing pill over.
Now that he had determined that the tiger wasn't as strong as he had imagined, Lu Ye relaxed. What he needed to do now was very simple: kill the tiger and eat its meat!
It was undeniable that this was a demonic beast with cultivation. If he could kill and eat it, it would definitely be better than eating ordinary beasts. Perhaps the matter of him opening his nine apertures would fall on this tiger.
Lu Ye had never been a person who knew his place. Otherwise, he wouldn't have led Steward Yang into the mine filled with Origin Magnetic Fields.
He would always plan ahead for potential dangers, but he would also strive to grasp opportunities that might exist.
Activating the Fire Snake Talisman, flames curling around it, he attacked the tiger. At the same time, Lu Ye drew his sword and attacked.
However, just as he moved, he felt a weight on his shoulder, as if something was pressing down on his body, causing him to almost kneel on the ground.
At the same time, he heard a sharp whistle. In an instant, he felt as if someone had smashed his head with a hammer, causing him to feel dizzy and stars to appear in front of his eyes.
Holding his sword with one hand, he forced himself not to fall. At the same time, he urged the spiritual energy in his eight spiritual cavities to protect his body. In an instant, his body seemed to be covered in a layer of flames, and within the flames, there was a trace of gold.
His five elements were fire and metal, so the spiritual energy in his body would show the luster of these two elements.
A mournful scream rang out, and the heavy feeling on his shoulder immediately disappeared. Although his head was still a little dizzy, it had recovered a lot.
But what made him feel inconceivable was that he had just been ambushed!
It wasn't the tiger that launched the sneak attack, but someone else!
One had to know that he had been at the bottom of the cave the whole time, and the big tiger had been blocking the entrance of the cave. From the beginning to the end, he had been communicating with the big tiger, and there was no trace of anyone else.
Therefore, he did not expect that someone would launch a sneak attack from behind him. Fortunately, the strength of the sneak attacker did not seem to be very strong. He only activated his protective spiritual energy and forced the other party to retreat.
At the same time as the mournful scream came out, Lu Ye suddenly turned his head, and from the corner of his eye, he vaguely saw something inexplicable sink into the rock wall and disappear.
There was no time to investigate the identity of the sneak attacker, because a gust of fishy wind swept over, and that big tiger had already pounced in front of him.
The Fire Snake Talisman didn't kill the tiger, it only burned its fur. From this, it could be seen that this big tiger indeed had cultivation.
At this moment, it was clear that it was too late to use the talisman again. Lu Ye had missed the best opportunity to attack, so he could only ruthlessly slash out with his sword. At the same time, he circulated his spirit energy and strengthened his sword with the Sharpness Spirit Mark!
During this period of time, he had used Manager Yang's long sword to kill many ferocious beasts. Unfortunately, because he had not learned any sword techniques, he mainly focused on slashing.
The long sword strengthened by the Sharpness Spirit Mark was extremely sharp. When he fought Zhou Cheng, the other party's sword of the same quality was broken by Lu Ye's sword.
However, this big tiger's bones seemed to be even stronger than Zhou Cheng's sword. Lu Ye's sword slashed at the other party's shoulder blade, but he was unable to completely cut the other party's body. Instead, he was knocked off balance by a strong force.
Lu Ye took advantage of the momentum to retreat a few steps and pulled back his sword, causing tiger blood to splatter.
Before he could do anything else, his chest went numb. The tiger's claws had swept across, and a layer of his flesh was torn off.
The pain did not affect Lu Ye, but instead made him more conscious. In this narrow space, the battle between a man and a tiger was extremely dangerous, and life and death could be determined at any time.
However, after this exchange, Lu Ye's heart was greatly relieved, because his judgment was correct.
This big tiger's cultivation was indeed not as high as he had imagined. It was not an enemy he could not defeat. As long as he operated properly, killing the tiger and eating its meat was just around the corner!
The big tiger roared and pounced at Lu Ye again. At the same time, a ghostly wail and wolf howl suddenly sounded in the cave, disturbing Lu Ye's mind.
This was the trick of the enemy hiding in the dark.
Lu Ye did not pay attention to the enemy in the dark and only stared at the big tiger's movements. The moment the tiger leaped out, Lu Ye crouched down and stepped on the ground, sliding down the big tiger's body.
When the two figures crossed each other, Lu Ye's long sword suddenly pierced upwards, right into the big tiger's tender abdomen. He thought that this sword would be able to pierce through the big tiger's intestines and stomach, but who knew that a faint golden light would suddenly appear on the other party's abdomen. Even with the enhancement of the Sharpness Spirit Mark, the sword could only break through the layer of light protection and was unable to seriously injure the other party.
When he got up again, the positions of the two sides had been switched.
Originally, Lu Ye was in the depths of the cave, and the big tiger blocked the entrance, but now the situation was reversed.
Moreover, after this exchange, Lu Ye discovered that although the big tiger's strength was not high, it was not low either. It was estimated that the big tiger was stronger than him.
It was just that he had a sharp weapon in his hand, which could be enhanced with spirit patterns, so he had a slight advantage.
However, if they continued to fight like this, it would inevitably end in a lose-lose situation.
Thinking of this, Lu Ye reached into his storage bag and took out a spirit talisman.
If his strength was not enough, he could make up for it with spirit talismans. The thirty spirit talismans prepared by the sect leader were not for decoration, and Lu Ye had no intention of saving them. If he did not use them now, when would he?
However, before he could activate the spirit talisman, a crisp voice hurriedly sounded, "Surrender, spare my life!"
Lu Ye's eyebrows drooped. Hearing such words at the critical moment of life and death undoubtedly affected his fighting spirit. Holding the spirit talisman in his hand, he shouted, "Come out!"
In the depths of the cave, on the rock wall beside the big tiger, a figure slowly walked out. The figure was not a physical body, but more like a gathering of spirit power.
After walking out, the figure slowly became solid, and gradually became no different from an ordinary person.
It was a beautiful girl with a graceful figure. Her black hair fell to her waist, and she wore a white dress. There was a black mole under the corner of her eye, which added a trace of charm. She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old.
After the girl walked out, she stood next to the big tiger and looked at Lu Ye timidly, as if she had done something wrong.
Lu Ye frowned, "What are you?"
