With Lu Ye's eyesight, he couldn't tell whether this strange girl was a human or a ghost, but judging from her performance just now, the possibility of her being human was extremely low.
This girl could appear behind him without him noticing and launch a sneak attack. Moreover, her body seemed illusory and she could freely shuttle through the rock walls. This was clearly not something an ordinary person could do.
This was the first time Lu Ye had encountered such a strange thing, so he couldn't help but be more vigilant, especially since she was obviously in cahoots with the big tiger.
Although he had the geographical advantage at this moment, any carelessness could lead to eternal damnation.
In his opinion, now that he had the upper hand, it was best to kill the big tiger with the talisman. However, he didn't know how to deal with this girl who appeared and disappeared mysteriously, so he couldn't help but feel troubled.
Lu Ye's question seemed to be a little difficult for the girl. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "My name is Yiyi …"
"I didn't ask your name." Lu Ye waved the talisman in his hand, the threat obvious. This action caused the big tiger to lower its body and growl in a low voice.
The girl named Yiyi hurriedly comforted the big tiger. In the current situation, they were meat on the chopping block. If they wanted to live, they had to obediently cooperate.
"Have you heard of helping a tiger do evil?" Yiyi asked.
Lu Ye nodded.
Yiyi said, "Some tiger-type monster cultivators will awaken a magical ability as they grow. They can turn the souls of people who have just died into ghosts."
"So … you're a ghost?" Lu Ye frowned. He had heard of helping a tiger do evil, but that was just an idiom. He didn't expect this idiom to have such a wonderful meaning in the cultivation world.
"No." The girl shook her head, her black hair flying.
"Are you kidding me?"
"I'm really not." Yiyi was a little anxious. "Generally speaking, ghosts are controlled by the tiger-type monster cultivator who transformed them. They have no spiritual intelligence or independent thought, but I'm different. Look at me. Besides having no flesh and blood, I'm the same as a living person."
"Then what are you?"
"A ghost?" Yiyi tilted her head.
Lu Ye didn't say anything else. His gaze moved between Yiyi and the big tiger. He narrowed his eyes slightly. "Then if I kill this big tiger, will you also dissipate?"
"Yes … No!" Yiyi screamed, sensing Lu Ye's killing intent. "Don't kill us, we know we were wrong … We'll pay for our lives!"
The light from the talisman in Lu Ye's hand gradually dimmed. He had almost activated the talisman. If they really fought, he was confident that he could get rid of this big tiger. As for the girl called Yiyi, he was originally a little afraid, but since he was sure that she had a symbiotic relationship with the big tiger, he didn't need to care too much about her.
Her strength shouldn't be that high. She could only use some small tricks to interfere with his actions, but she couldn't hurt him.
However, this would definitely require him to pay a few talismans, and he would definitely be injured in battle.
If the price he paid was too high, this battle would not be worth it, especially since he was only one step away from the First-Order Spirit Stream Realm. If he consumed too much Spirit Qi, it would undoubtedly increase the time it would take him to break through to the Spirit Stream Realm.
Yiyi's last sentence made Lu Ye suppress his killing intent. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Using money to buy your life? What do you have? "What good things could a Demonic beast that lived in the Spirit Stream Battlefield and an accompanying nightmare spirit possibly have?
"Just you wait! I'll go get it! "Yiyi shouted, her figure flashing and disappearing into a nearby rock wall.
But soon, she poked her head out from the rock wall again, "You can't kill Hu Po! I'll be back soon! "
Hu Po … Lu Ye glanced at the majestic tiger in front of him, whose aura was comparable to a mountain, and his face twitched.
Yiyi left, leaving Lu Ye and Hu Po to confront each other. At the same time, he was also on guard against Yiyi. Although the girl had shown a lot of sincerity, it was impossible to judge a book by its cover. Who knew if she would hide in the dark and attack him?
His cultivation was still low, so he didn't have a good method to investigate the girl's whereabouts.
Yiyi indeed came back soon. Lu Ye only waited for the time it would take to drink a cup of tea before the girl's figure appeared again, but this time she came out from behind Lu Ye.
Lu Ye leaned back against the rock wall and let the girl enter the cave. She held something in her hand and held it up, "We'll use these things to buy our lives, don't kill us!"
When Lu Ye saw the thing in the girl's hand, he was shocked. It was actually a few storage pouches!
Storage pouches were cultivators' items, so it was very suspicious for them to appear in the girl's hands. Moreover, there was more than one storage pouch. The girl was holding at least four or five of them.
This spirit and tiger were indeed not good people. They had probably killed and robbed many times.
"You're mistaken!" The girl saw Lu Ye's expression and knew what he was thinking. "Hu Po's strength isn't high. You should be able to feel it when you fought with it. The cultivators who appear in the Spirit Stream battlefield are at least at the first layer of the Spirit Stream Realm. Hu Po can't kill them."
"Then where did these storage pouches come from?" Lu Ye obviously wouldn't believe her so easily.
Yiyi was a little embarrassed. "I tricked them … Those cultivators are very cowardly. I just scared them and they threw the storage pouches away."
Lu Ye thought back to his previous encounter. If he hadn't sensed that there was something wrong with this big tiger and that he really didn't have any spirit pills or spirit stones, he might have chosen to pay to avoid disaster.
Compared to these worldly possessions, his own life was naturally more important.
Of course, the big tiger's soul-stealing momentum was indeed frightening. Generally, cultivators with low cultivation levels would be frightened by its amber tiger eyes. If they were threatened by a few more words, how would they still have the will to fight?
Little did they know that the one hiding behind them and speaking frighteningly was just a girl with a delicate figure.
"Throw them over," Lu Ye ordered.
Yiyi snorted and threw the storage pouches in her hand in front of Lu Ye. Lu Ye lifted his foot and picked one up. After checking it, his face darkened.
This storage pouch was locked …
He looked at the second one and found that it was the same.
The third one was still …
After checking all the storage pouches, Lu Ye looked up. "You tricked me?"
It wasn't that he couldn't open a locked storage pouch, but Lu Ye didn't have the ability to do so.
Yiyi felt a little wronged. "Some guys ran away quickly and didn't even open the restriction lock before throwing the storage pouches down. There were also some who listened to orders and opened them, but we've already used up the useful things inside …"
This was the truth. Yiyi and the big tiger had harvested more than just these few storage pouches in the forest over the years. It was just that most of the things in the other storage pouches had already been used up. There was only one empty pouch left, so Yiyi didn't bring it over.
Lu Ye lowered his eyes. "If that's all you have, then there's no need to talk. These things aren't enough to buy my life."
"How could it be like this …" Yiyi was about to cry. She regretted provoking Lu Ye. She didn't think that this guy would be different from the other cultivators she had encountered before.
Most of the cultivators in this area didn't have very high cultivation bases. Most of them were rogue cultivators or disciples from smaller sects. Because this was the border region of the Spirit Stream Battlefield, any cultivator with even the slightest bit of common sense would be horrified to run into a demonic beast that could speak human language.
A demonic beast that could speak human language wasn't something they could provoke.
However, Lu Ye didn't have any common sense. He didn't know what a demonic beast that could speak human language represented. He didn't have any preconceived notions and only believed in his own judgment.
