C158 Hong Family's Youth
C158 Hong Family's Youth
For a moment, the man and the beast fell into silence.
As if they had gone through some kind of mental struggle, the little squirrel scratched Ye Bufan's hair a few times, making squeaking sounds and nodding continuously.
"What's wrong? The little guy has thought it through. Are you willing to come with me to the outside of Flowing Wave Mountain Range?" Ye Bufan stroked the little squirrel's fur lovingly and asked.
The little squirrel kept nodding its head, then it jumped onto Ye Bufan's arm and continuously bit the storage bracelet on Ye Bufan's wrist.
After spending some time together, Ye Bufan could roughly guess the meaning of the little squirrel. "I don't have any Beast Crystal in my bracelet."
The little squirrel suddenly nodded its head and shook its head. Its two front paws kept gesturing something.
"You don't want a Beast Crystal? What is that?" Ye Bufan's eyes suddenly lit up. He took out a Spirit Stone from the storage bracelet.
The little squirrel immediately jumped up and grabbed the Spirit Stone. Dong... Dong... He started chewing.
Ye Bufan's eyes widened as he looked at the little squirrel's unsatisfied expression, "Little guy, you can also eat Spirit Stone? Forget it, you should go back to your forest. I really can't afford to raise you."
That was the Top-grade Spirit Stone just now, although it had already used the spirit energy within to recover its cultivation. But there was still a portion of the spiritual energy inside, even if he changed his cultivation speed and wanted to absorb all of the spiritual energy inside. However, when it came to the little guy's mouth, there was no more spiritual energy.
The delicious little squirrel suddenly jumped into Ye Bufan's arms and flirted. It looked like it was saying to Ye Bufan, Even if you hit me, I won't leave.
Looking at the shameless appearance of the little squirrel, Ye Bufan couldn't help but shake his head. Immediately, he said seriously, "You can follow me, but after entering human society... You have to listen to everything I say, or else I will throw you into the forest. Please find your female squirrel to live your life. "
The little squirrel angrily roared a few times in Ye Bufan's arms. It seemed like it was not satisfied with Ye Bufan's teasing.
Ye Bufan continued, "As for the Spirit Stone, I can provide it to you, but I can't give it to you at any time, understand?"
The little squirrel nodded. At this time, it looked like an obedient child. In fact, Ye Bufan didn't know that there was another reason why the little squirrel followed him besides the Spirit Stone. It was because the little squirrel on Ye Bufan's body felt very comfortable. This was the unique Qi unique to the Five Element Cultivation Body.
Seeing that the little squirrel was willing to follow him, Ye Bufan felt a lot better in his heart. His speed naturally increased, and he even began to fly on air. After all, this was only the outer region of Flowing Wave Mountain Range. Ye Bufan, who already had experience, naturally knew that it was very difficult for there to be any Spirit Beast in the outer region that could threaten his life.
Thinking of the threat, Ye Bufan couldn't help but think of the path that the little squirrel didn't allow him to take. Perhaps one day, he would go and investigate.
Although Ye Bufan's speed was extremely fast, he didn't let his guard down at all. His divine sense never stopped scanning. Suddenly, Ye Bufan's figure stopped.
There was no other way. There was an intense battle about 500 meters away. Looking at the little squirrel on his shoulder, which was still alive and kicking, Ye Bufan gently patted it and said, "Why are you so excited? There is only a wild beast in front, and there is no Beast Crystal!"
The little squirrel on Ye Bufan's shoulder stretched out its left claw and clenched it into a fist, as if wanting to threaten him.
"Alright, let's go and take a look!" As soon as Ye Bufan finished speaking, a mass of spirit energy rushed out and wrapped itself around the little squirrel. Without revealing a trace of aura, it carefully moved towards the battle.
A distance of 500 meters, for someone with Ye Bufan's cultivation base, was just a matter of time before he opened his eyes. With a few leaps, he jumped onto the top of a large tree. Using the thick leaves to cover his body, he looked towards the center of the battle.
He saw five young men, four men and one woman. Judging from their age, they looked to be around 23 or 24 years old. However, the weakest among them was at the sixth level of the Qi Stage, and the strongest one was at the Eighth Rank of Qi Stage.
They were fighting a life-and-death battle with a Flame Lion.
The Flame Lion was a Rank Nine wild beast, and it had the strength of a human at the ninth level of the Eighth Rank of Qi Stage. In addition to its powerful physical body, as well as its flaming beast skills, even ordinary Ninth Rank of Qi Stage warriors wouldn't dare to provoke it unless they reached their peak state.
Although their individual strength was weaker than the Flame Lion, the five of them advanced and retreated in an orderly manner. Their offense and defense complemented each other. For a moment, they could not see any signs of defeat. Ye Bufan looked at the battle in the arena and couldn't help but praise in his heart: The experts here are indeed extraordinary. Even if these five people were placed in the Aoyun Sect, I'm afraid they would immediately be absorbed as personal disciples and nurtured.
In Ye Bufan's impression, even in a sect like the Aoyun Sect, those who could reach this level of cultivation at the age of 23 or 24 were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ye Bufan couldn't help but think of the time when he met Faang Mingjie and the others. He wondered how they were doing in the Aoyun Sect. Yunqing was doing well now? Did she still remember him?
"A beautiful woman once accompanied me, but now I am all alone. Now that his cultivation base had reached Yunqing's request, he would wait until Zhuo Jiuyou was finished. Let's go to the Qin family!" Thinking of this, Ye Bufan gently touched the little squirrel in his arms.
The battle on the battlefield was like a raging fire. The Flame Lion, which had been unable to attack for a long time, seemed to be somewhat furious. The fiery red fur stood up and continuously charged at his opponent. However, its opponent was coordinating in an orderly manner. There was no chance for it to succeed at all.
"Roar..." Accompanied by a loud roar, a ball of flame spurted out from the Flame Lion's mouth. It split into five and attacked the five of them at the same time. At the same time, the Flame Lion also attacked one of the young men who was at the sixth level of the Qi Stage.
A bright light flashed in Ye Bufan's eyes because he could feel that the flame that the Flame Lion spat out was not weaker than the spiritual fire of a First Rank of Spirit Stage Venerable. It was just that his control was much weaker.
No wonder the Flame Lion gave him such a headache.
As expected, even though the flame was split into five, its strength was not something the five of them could withstand. Apart from the Eighth Rank of Qi Stage young man who dodged, the other four could not dodge in time. They could only resist with all their strength.
A muffled groan was heard, and three figures were sent flying backwards. They landed heavily on the ground, and all of them were burnt to the point that their clothes could not cover their bodies. Especially when the young girl landed right under the tree where Ye Bufan was hiding, a deep ditch was revealed.
When Ye Bufan saw this, he blamed the Flame Lion in his heart.
The other person was not as lucky as the other three. After being hit by the flames, the moment his body left the ground, the Flame Lion's figure followed closely behind. It violently crashed into his waist. If it were to hit him, the young man would probably die here.
"No!" The other four people cried out in unison.
Suddenly, just as the Flame Lion's body came into contact with the youth, a beam of light appeared from the young man's body, and a rebounding force pushed the Flame Lion away. The youth was enveloped by the light and gently landed on the ground. Even though he had just escaped death, his legs were still trembling slightly. If he hadn't crushed that protective jade talisman at the most critical moment, he would have already been dead on the spot.
Seeing the young man turn his crisis into safety, a gratified expression appeared on their faces. However, it was immediately replaced by a depressed expression. Based on the current situation, they didn't have the strength to fight anymore, and their fates could be imagined.
It was unknown whether the Flame Lion was worried about the light that had appeared out of thin air, or it was because it knew that victory was within its grasp. It walked back and forth not far away, but its gaze never shifted away from the five of them.
"After the Flame Lion spits out flames, its strength will be greatly reduced. All of you leave first. I will stop you for a moment and come back to join you!" The uninjured Eighth Rank of Qi Stage youth held his sword in front of his chest and shouted with a commanding tone.
"If you want to leave, let's go together! If you want to stay, let's stay together!" The four of them said in unison.
Although the Flame Lion's strength had weakened considerably, no one knew that it was not something a mere Eighth Rank of Qi Stage like him could hold back, let alone retreat with his body intact. There was only one outcome for him to stay behind...
Seeing that the four of them weren't willing to leave, the young man stomped his feet anxiously and said angrily, "Are you all stupid!? The family is in need of us at this moment, how can we die so easily?"
Looking at the people behind him who were indifferent, the youth suddenly placed his heavy sword horizontally across his neck. "Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, I will immediately commit suicide here! "
Looking at the young man's appearance, the other four people had tears in their eyes, "Third Elder Brother... let's go!"
"Protect the Hong family and take good care of grandpa! Tell grandpa that in my next life, I will still be a good son of the Hong family!" After the young man called Third Elder Brother finished speaking, he leapt towards the Flame Lion, and fought with his life on the line.
The four of them looked at Third Elder Brother's figure, gritted their teeth, and quickly ran away. It wasn't because they were afraid of death, but because they were afraid that their hesitation would waste Third Elder Brother's painstaking effort, and the time that Third Elder Brother had exchanged his life for.
Explosions sounded out. Hong Third Elder Brother spared no effort to display his powerful martial skill. It bloomed with the final brilliance of his life, and under Hong Third Elder Brother's desperate attack... The Flame Lion was unable to find a direction to counterattack. However, it wasn't in a hurry, because it knew that this human wouldn't be able to hold on for long. As long as he used up all his inner strength, he would naturally become an object in his stomach.
Hong Wu Jiutian!
Hong Third Elder Brother shouted loudly as all his inner strength focused on the heavy sword. Along with the buzzing sound of the sword, countless sword shadows slashed out and exploded from the ground, spreading towards the direction of the Flame Lion.
Hong Third Elder Brother, who had used up all his inner strength, looked in the direction where his little brother and sister had left. There was no longer any trace of the four of them, and a gratified smile appeared on his face. Although his inner strength had been exhausted, the mission had been completed.
