Chapter 8: Repaying Kindness with Revenge
"Not good!"
Chu Tian's hair stood on end, and he used up his last bit of strength to dodge to the side.
However, the spiritual energy in his body had been completely exhausted at this moment. Chu Tian felt like he was moving a mountain, very slowly.
My life is over!
Chu Tian was full of regret, regretting that he was too arrogant and shouldn't have blindly led the tiger away.
Just as Chu Tian closed his eyes and prepared to die, suddenly, a piercing sound of breaking through the air came from the side.
Snap!
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound like a whip hitting a **.
"Roar!"
The tiger howled in pain, and its huge red body fell directly several feet away.
"Huh!"
Chu Tian suddenly let out a light exclamation and opened his eyes in a hurry.
In his sight, a colorful giant python as thick as a bucket raised its long tail and whipped the tiger that fell to the ground again at a high speed.
"Spotted Crazy Python!"
Chu Tian exclaimed in shock.
This spotted crazy python was more than five meters long, and it also exuded the terrifying aura of a ninth-level beast, and was slightly stronger than the male tiger.
It seemed that the opponent was the ninth-level beast that Ba Lao had just sensed.
Bang!
After the male tiger fell to the ground, he quickly got up. The tail of the spotted crazy python did not hit it, but hit the ground instead, leaving a deep gully.
"Roar!!!"
After the male tiger stood up again, he roared at the spotted crazy python, and his copper bell eyes were full of ferocious light, as if he wanted to choose someone to bite.
Chu Tian saw that the tiger and the python were about to fight, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. After getting up, he prepared to leave carefully.
However, just as he turned around, he suddenly felt a cold and piercing gaze behind him. He turned back in a hurry and happened to meet the gaze of the spotted crazy python head-on.
In the eyes of the spotted python, in addition to the cold greed, there was a strong warning!
"It seems that this long worm regards me as its food."
Chu Tian smiled bitterly.
If he dared to move at this moment, the long tail of the spotted python would probably be pulled out instantly, killing him with one blow!
Chu Tian took a deep breath, sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a medium-grade spirit stone in his hand, and began to operate the "Five Elements Vajra Sutra" to restore the excessive spiritual energy in his body.
Seeing that his food sat down again and stopped running away, the spotted python assuredly continued to look at the male tiger opposite.
The male tiger was hit in the air by the spotted python just now, and was slightly injured, and the ferocity in his bones was completely stimulated.
The next breath, it opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs, roared wildly, and rushed towards the spotted python.
The spotted python was also unwilling to be outdone, and its upper body was slightly bent, and then it flashed out!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A tiger and a python started an extremely tragic battle.
Chu Tian sat cross-legged on the ground, practicing his skills to restore his spiritual essence, while paying some attention to observe the situation on the field, ready to dodge at any time to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
In a blink of an eye, dozens of breaths passed.
The fight between the tiger and the python not only showed no signs of stopping, but became more and more intense, and it was hard to tell who would win.
"Fight, fight, it's best to die together."
Chu Tian looked at the two beasts fighting fiercely not far away and couldn't help grinning.
With the help of the middle-grade spirit stone and the fact that he was practicing the holy-level skills, the spiritual essence in his body had almost recovered by one-third at this moment.
Another dozens of breaths passed, and Chu Tian's spiritual essence in his body had basically recovered by half.
The fierce fight not far away still did not stop and was still in full swing.
The male tiger's body was covered with bloodstains, which were left by the crazy whipping of the spotted python's tail. It looked like it no longer had the demeanor of the king of the forest.
As for the spotted python, it was not much better. There were several obvious wounds on its colorful body, and blood was gushing out.
"You two can fight slowly. I will withdraw first!"
After observing the situation, Chu Tian stood up, patted the dust on his buttocks, turned around and left quickly.
The tiger and the python were only concerned with fighting and killing each other, and they didn't notice that Chu Tian had quietly left.
Not long after, Chu Tian returned to the vicinity of the Red Flame Tiger Cave.
He did not show up immediately, but hid behind a big tree, stretched out his head and looked forward.
In the open space in front of the cave, only Li Guang and Li Mo were left, covered in blood, holding weapons, fighting fiercely with the injured tigress.
On the other side, Chu Tian found Li Fei's body that was almost bitten in half.
At this moment, Li Guang and Li Mo were extremely weak, their spiritual energy was almost exhausted, and their movements were even slower.
The injured tigress's condition seemed to be even more serious. The fatal wound on her abdomen had doubled in size, and one could vaguely see her intestines leaking out.
Although the tigress's injury worsened, her fighting power was still much stronger than Li Guang and Li Mo. Every time she slapped her claws, the two were in a panic and vomited blood.
If this continued, the tigress would definitely not survive, but Li Guang and Li Mo would also die in the tiger's mouth.
Chu Tian was not a heartless person. He could not watch Li Guang and Li Mo die. After a few breaths of silence, he slowly drew out the Immortal Slaying Sword behind him, jumped out, took several steps, and joined the battle.
"Brother Chu Tian!"
"Great, the three of us joined forces to kill this red-haired beast and avenge Li Fei!"
Seeing Chu Tian return and join the battle, Li Guang and Li Mo were both ecstatic.
The moment Chu Tian joined the battle, the balance of victory instantly tilted. After just a few breaths, the tigress could not hold on.
Although only one third of the Immortal Slashing Sword was left, Chu Tian was very comfortable using it. Almost every time he slashed, a striking wound would be left on the tigress.
Seeing that Chu Tian, holding an ordinary broken sword, could easily cut the powerful body of the Red Flame Tiger, Li Guang and Li Mo were both slightly surprised.
The weapons in their hands had been used for many years and were very handy, but each time they could only leave a slight wound on the Red Flame Tiger's body.
Li Guang's eyes flashed with brilliance, and I don't know what he was thinking.
After more than ten breaths, under the powerful attack of the Immortal Slashing Sword, the tigress could no longer hold on. She wailed and collapsed. After trembling for a few times, she was completely out of breath.
The three of them stopped at the same time, panting, staring blankly at the huge body of the Red Flame Tiger.
"Brother Li Guang, this tigress will be handed over to you. I will go to the cave to pick the companion spirit medicine!"
After a breath, Chu Tian gave instructions and then jumped into the dark cave.
"Brother, this kid..."
Seeing Chu Tian rushing into the cave quickly, Li Mo turned his head and looked at Li Guang, whispering a warning.
Li Guang looked gloomy, and did not speak. He just nodded at the latter, then took out a sharp dagger and began to harvest the valuable parts of the Red Flame Tiger.
The cave was dark and damp, and filled with a fishy smell.
As a warrior, Chu Tian's eyesight was much better than that of ordinary mortals, so although the surrounding environment was dark, he could still see clearly.
After a while, Chu Tian came to the deepest part of the cave.
It can be clearly seen that there is a large pool of dried blood on the ground, and some feces scattered everywhere.
"Damn it, these two beasts are really good at shitting!"
Chu Tian cursed, pinched his nose, and began to look carefully.
The cave was completely occupied by the fishy smell. Chu Tian could not determine the specific location by the fragrance of the Red Flame Spirit Flower, so he could only bend down and look around.
Soon, in a corner, Chu Tian saw three red spiritual flowers, but the flowers had already withered.
It was the Red Flame Spiritual Flower!
"Boy, dig up the ground quickly and see if there is any flame evil spirit in the rhizome!"
Ba Lao urged.
Chu Tian nodded and started to dig the soil.
Soon, Chu Tian carefully pulled up the three Red Flame Spiritual Flowers by the roots and hung them in front of him.
Chu Tian found that there was a fist-sized tumor on the rhizome of the three Red Flame Spiritual Flowers. When he touched it with his hand, he could clearly feel a sense of scalding.
"Hehe, boy, you are lucky. The rhizome of the three spiritual flowers actually gave birth to flame evil spirits!"
Ba Lao laughed.
Chu Tian asked in confusion: "Old Ba, do you mean that the flame evil spirit is stored in these three tumors?"
"Yes! You only need to pierce the tumor on the root of the spiritual flower, and the flame evil spirit will be released, and the quality is definitely better than those sold on the market!"
Old Ba nodded.
Chu Tian's eyes flashed with excitement, and he carefully put away the three red flame spiritual flowers.
Immediately, he stood up and walked quickly out of the cave.
When Chu Tian walked out of the cave, he happened to see Li Guang and Li Mo cutting off all the valuable parts of the tigress's body and preparing to put them away.
"Two big brothers, happy cooperation, if we are destined, I hope we can cooperate again next time!"
Chu Tian arched his hands, and then jumped forward.
Then, he took a few steps away and was blocked by Li Guang and Li Mo.
"What does this mean?"
Chu Tian showed a puzzled expression on his face.
Li Guang stared at Chu Tian, and a sneer gradually rose from the corner of his mouth: "Brother Chu Tian, the broken knife you carry is good, can you give it up?"
"Boy, and the companion spiritual medicine you just got in the cave, hand it over together, we brothers can be merciful and spare your life!"
Li Mo was not as subtle as Li Guang, and threatened directly.
"You two are repaying kindness with enmity?"
Chu Tian's face suddenly darkened.
Originally, he was unwilling to conflict with the two, but now it seems that the other party's excessive greed makes this conflict inevitable.
"Haha, you are indeed a rookie who has just entered the martial arts world. You actually said the four words "repay kindness with enmity"!"
Li Mo raised his head and laughed, his face full of sarcasm.
Li Guang also smiled faintly and said, "Brother Chu Tian, the martial arts world is dangerous. In the cultivation world, repaying kindness with enmity happens every day. You'd better hand over the broken knife and the accompanying spiritual medicine obediently. I won't make things difficult for you."
Chu Tian shook his head, pulled out the broken knife behind him, and held it horizontally in front of him.
Roar!
Just when the atmosphere on the scene solidified and the conflict between the two sides was about to break out, a shocking roar suddenly came from far away.
