Chapter 23 Chapter Three: The Winged Tiger King

The road connecting the east and west continents and across the mountains meanders, sometimes passing through caves, and sometimes winding up the mountainside. The mercenary group and merchants trek in the vast mountains. The little princess still has to be noisy every day, but she is not as depressed as she was a few days ago.The endless mountains are lush and green all year round, and all kinds of strange flowers and plants, rare birds and animals that have never been heard of or seen in the mountains have attracted most of her attention. On the way, she picked a lot of bright wild flowers and delicious wild fruits, and occasionally screamed because of the strange animals that suddenly jumped from the forest to the road.

The beautiful scenery and colorful journey make the little princess gradually forget that she is a captive, and she feels more and more that this kind of traveling life is a kind of enjoyment. Of course, only she, a royal goddess who rarely leaves the palace, can have this kind of experience. feeling. There were indeed a few groups of bandits on the road, but under the attack of powerful first-order magicians and terrifying earth dragon knights, those mobs were quickly wiped out. This made the little princess who wanted to watch a good show very dissatisfied, and it was useless to scold those robbers repeatedly.The merchants and the mercenaries of the mercenary regiment looked at each other, digging their ears, suspecting that there was something wrong with their hearing.

Finally, after Chen Nan snapped his fingers and the little princess groaned in pain, those people came back to their senses and secretly sighed that this girl was really "extraordinary". There were no dragons or ancient giants on the way, only some magical western monsters, all of which were dealt with immediately by the bearded Guan Hao.Whenever he took out the magic crystal core from the monster's body, the little princess would scold him for being rich and cruel. After being explained by the head of the mercenary regiment, Chen Nan learned that it was not Guan Hao who was greedy. He wanted to go to the Kamikaze Academy in Sin City to learn advanced skills, but he heard that the tuition fees of the academy were scary. Find ways to make money on the road.

The little princess pursed her lips and said, "Kamikaze Academy only recruits young and strong people. You are so old and you still want to join in the fun. If you go, they won't want you." Guan Hao said angrily: "Who says I'm old? I'm only twenty-nine years old, as long as I'm under thirty, I can sign up for the Kamikaze Academy's test." "My God, are you twenty-nine years old? Why do I feel like a thirty-nine-year-old uncle!" Guan Hao was extremely depressed, so he finally borrowed a razor and quickly shaved his beard clean, making him look younger.

After learning about Guan Hao's details, the little princess stopped scolding him for being greedy and a money addict, and began to call him "Hao Zai" affectionately. This made Guan Hao even more depressed. "Please, little girl, if you don't want to call me big brother, just call me Guan Hao, and don't call me a mouse anymore." "Hee hee, you're overthinking it yourself. I didn't mean it that way. Now that you've said that, I'm not being polite. I'll call you a mouse from now on." Everyone laughed, Guan Hao was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

Five days later, everyone walked into a valley among the mountains. Although it was almost noon, the tall trees on both sides of the road blocked the scorching sun, so everyone didn't feel the heat. While everyone was burying their pots for cooking, there was a sudden gust of wind in the forest, and the ground trembled slightly. Groups of wild beasts appeared from the forest and ran forward, ranging from wild elephants, lions, tigers to small wild foxes. , Snow Rabbit, fortunately, the beasts did not attack everyone. The head of the mercenary group yelled badly, and hurriedly summoned people to prepare for battle.

"Brothers, take up your weapons, we are in trouble, and there may be a powerful monster ahead." Guan Hao explained to Chen Nan in a low voice: "Looking at the current state, there may be a second-level monster that has successfully advanced to the third level. The powerful aura makes all the nearby beasts involuntarily go to worship." Chen Nan was very surprised, and said: "There is such a thing?" Guan Hao nodded and said: "Yes, this road is usually very safe, and few people will encounter such a thing. I didn't expect us to be so unlucky. The powerful monsters that have just successfully advanced will definitely take advantage of foreign enemies. A miserable battle."

As soon as the little princess showed an excited expression, she almost clapped her hands and applauded. Chen Nan knocked on her, and said: "You little devil who is afraid of chaos in the world, if the monster really kills, everyone will see what you will do when everyone is too busy to take care of themselves." "Hmph, if you dare to let me damage a vellus hair, my sister and the others will not spare you, and you will die miserably by then." Chen Nan was amused all of a sudden: "Haha, you little devil is so naive, you dare to threaten me now, if I'm afraid of your sister, will I take you here captive? Well, I know you The little girl is full of tricks, don't pretend to be ignorant in front of me, and don't play tricks on me."

At this time, there was a loud roar in the distance: "Roar..." The horses pulling the cart kept neighing and began to struggle uneasily. The merchants panicked, not only afraid of the unknown powerful monster, but also worried that the horses would panic and lose all their goods after being frightened. Seeing that the horses were going to be frightened, the head of the mercenary group shouted, "Quick, knock all the horses out." The mercenaries moved one after another, hitting the horses' heads with sticks or palms, and more than 20 horses fell to the ground immediately.

The regiment leader rode on the ground dragon and shouted: "Ready to fight!" After speaking, he rushed forward first, followed by the mercenaries with weapons in hand, and the deputy regiment leader flew into the air using the levitation technique, and followed at the end of the team. Chen Nan and the little princess followed. In front of the main road is an open land, there are no tall trees, only some low shrubs, there is a large area of ​​darkness, and there are prostrate beasts, the scene is quite spectacular. In front of all the beasts crawling, there is a giant beast with snow-white body and shiny fur. It looks like a tiger, but it is much taller and more powerful than a tiger.This giant Warcraft gives people a strong feeling of uneasiness, because it is too tall.

The scene in front of me is quite like the princes and ministers meeting the king in human society, people can't help but be amazed. Someone exclaimed: "Baihu, but it's too tall, it won't become a spirit?" "Even a white tiger has stripes, it can't be a tiger at all." "What kind of monster is this?" ... There was a lot of discussion. The little princess sighed: "So mighty, so beautiful, so cute!" Everyone: "..." Guan Hao said: "In this vast mountains, there are endless monsters. This should be a tiger king with the blood of white tigers and devil tigers." The team leader nodded in agreement, and said: "The more this kind of mutated beast is, the more terrifying it is, and its power can grow. It has successfully advanced from a second-level monster to a third-level one. It is time to stand up, and we are catching up. A fierce battle is inevitable.” King Tiger is worthy of being the king of beasts nearby, he didn't care about the arrival of the crowd, he just glanced coldly. The deputy leader fell down from the sky and said: "The magic element fluctuations around King Tiger are very strong, which means that its magic attacks must be terrible, everyone must be careful." He saw that everyone was a little nervous, and said: "If we If you can kill it, the magic crystal nucleus in its body will surely sell for a sky-high price." The group leader sighed in an inaudible voice: "It's difficult, this is a third-order beast. Although we have three first-order cultivators here, the strength gap between different ranks is not a simple accumulation. It is Everyone in the mercenary group is here, it is not certain who will win the battle." The deputy head suddenly shouted: "No, it's ready to attack, and I've already sensed that it's gathering magic elements." The mercenaries were in a commotion, and what they had to deal with was the powerful Tier 3 Tiger King, a terrifying beast two levels higher than their leader's Earth Dragon. The head of the regiment ordered: "Everyone, don't panic, spread out quickly, and don't gather together." These mercenaries have been through the test of life and death, and quickly calmed down, and quickly dispersed to favorable terrain. Although the deputy head was over fifty years old, he reacted very quickly. He took the lead in attacking, and a gleaming wind blade slashed towards the Tiger King with strange howls. The King Tiger let out a loud roar, as if he was annoyed that everyone dared to take the initiative to attack him. He just lowered his head and avoided the wind blade emitting powerful magical energy, then he raised his head high, showing a look of disdain expression. Everyone rubbed their eyes in disbelief, and finally confirmed that Tiger King did show a look of disdain. "This tiger has become a spirit, and it can actually show human feelings." ... Everyone muttered for a while. The little princess said excitedly: "It's so cute." Chen Nan grabbed her by the collar and stepped back, away from the dangerous place. "Scum let me go, let me go..." The tiger king roared again, and all the beasts lying on the ground trembled for a while, and then stood up tremblingly, clearing a way for the tiger king. Chen Nan was amazed to see it, and couldn't help but said: "It's really strange...it's so humane." At this moment, the Tiger King, the head, the deputy head, and Guan Hao had already formed a confrontation. The other mercenaries were scattered around and surrounded them. All the beasts were frightened by the power of the Tiger King and trembled not far away. , dare not come over. "Roar..." After the Tiger King roared, he opened his mouth and spewed out a bolt of lightning. The powerful arc crackled in the air, and directly attacked the magician. The magician hurriedly chanted the spell, and the ground in front of him began to bulge, and a soil shield appeared in front of him, and at the same time he propped up a water shield in front of him. The lightning pierced through the soil shield, disintegrating it into a pile of earth and rocks in an instant, and then hit the water shield. After a burst of "crackling" electric sparks flashed, the water shield also disintegrated and turned into a mist of water. The magician hurriedly rolled aside, but the arc still touched his body. He let out a scream, his hair stood on end, and his whole body was scorched black by the electricity. If the earth and water shields hadn't blocked most of the arc, the magician's life would have been in danger, and it took him a long time to get up tremblingly. At this time, all the members of the mercenary regiment had already started, and the crossbow arrows "swish", and the rain of arrows shot towards Tiger King like locusts. Although the King Tiger's body was huge, his movements were extremely nimble. He jumped out of the crowd's encirclement with a few jumps, and then swept his giant tail towards the surrounding mercenaries with the momentum of sweeping thousands of troops. The five mercenaries were whipped by the tiger king's giant tail like a steel whip, and their bones were broken and their tendons were broken on the spot. The others were frightened and ran away quickly. The head of the group hurriedly urged Dilong to rush forward, and Guan Hao followed closely behind him. The tiger king's fur glistens under the sunlight, and the strong white body of the tiger looks extraordinarily mighty.Facing the menacing two people and one dragon, its eyes flickered fiercely, and it looked like it was about to pounce. The head of the group drove the ground dragon and rushed over in a blink of an eye. He pointed the dragon-slaying spear at Tiger King's throat and stabbed it out.At the same time, Guan Hao had also arrived, swung his big sword and slashed at Tiger King's waist. With a roar of the tiger, the Tiger King jumped up, dodged the two blows, and rushed towards the head of the group on Dilong's body. The Earth Dragon is actually taller than King Tiger, but he cringes when faced with it. Seeing that it was too late to urge the earth dragon to dodge, the head of the group quickly jumped down and ran away quickly. The three-foot-long giant tiger threw the five-foot-long earth dragon to the ground at once, and then opened its huge mouth to bite its neck.The earth dragon struggled hastily, but still did not escape from the tiger's mouth. The tiger king bit his neck, and blood gushed out wildly. The head of the regiment looked at the canthus tearfully, and rushed forward with a loud cry. The sharp dragon-slaying spear pierced the tiger's belly fiercely, and a bloody arrow shot out.Guan Hao also swung his big sword and rushed up, slashing fiercely on the tiger's back, blood dripped down the tiger king's shiny and snow-white fur. Tiger King suffered pain and let Dilong go. The earth dragon got this respite, turned over and got up, probably after suffering so much, it hated the tiger king so much that it temporarily forgot its fear, so it slammed into the tiger king viciously. "boom" The Tiger King was hit by it and rolled out, and the surrounding mercenaries rushed up together, and all greeted it with knives and sticks, and it was already bloody in the blink of an eye. "Roar..." With a loud roar, Tiger King staggered to his feet, opened his mouth and spewed out a large swath of flames, and the mercenaries screamed from being burned, and quickly backed away.But there were still six people who were torn apart by the tiger king who was chasing after them, blood stained the road red, and the rest of the people were scared to death. When everyone was in danger, the deputy head had already recovered.He recited a long series of incantations, and the magical elements gathered wildly in front of him. Finally, he waved his wand lightly, and suddenly small snowflakes floated between the sky and the earth, and everyone felt a chill in this hot summer day. A large amount of magical elements suddenly appeared in front of the tiger king who was baring his teeth and claws, and a thick layer of ice appeared outside its body. The ice became thicker and thicker, and finally completely sealed it inside. The people who survived the catastrophe cheered, and the Tiger King was frozen in a huge ice cube. But before the cheers of the crowd stopped, there was the sound of the ice breaking. A series of cracks started to spread downward from the top of the ice block, and finally, with a bang, the entire ice block was completely shattered, and the King Tiger appeared in front of everyone again, but at this time it was obviously sluggish. The deputy head, the head, and Guan Hao took this opportunity to attack again. After the deputy head finished chanting the spell, an ice spear appeared in front of him, and then flew towards the Tiger King like lightning. pierced its chest.The head of the regiment and Guan Hao also stabbed the dragon-slaying spear and the big sword into its belly respectively, and then they jumped on the tiger's back and hit the huge tiger's head fiercely. Tiger King's body shook for a while, and blood gushed out from its body. At this time, it was covered in blood, and its snow-white and shiny fur was completely stained red by blood. At this time, the leader's ground dragon was no longer afraid of the Tiger King, and rushed towards it frantically, and the huge dragon body knocked it away. The head of the group and Guan Hao floated to the side, and when the local dragon rushed towards it again, the tiger king suddenly stood up staggeringly, and let out a roar of a tiger that shook the sky, and the local dragon stopped in fright. . A sudden change occurred, a pair of pure white wings suddenly appeared out of thin air on the tiger king's abdomen, in stark contrast to the bloody tiger body, and then a half-foot-long, white jade-like single horn grew out of its forehead. This astonishing change stunned everyone present. Chen Nan was secretly startled, he knew that this was the real fighting state of Tiger King, if it showed its true strength earlier, everyone might not be able to hurt it. The little princess showed joy on her face, and said: "This tiger king is so mighty and beautiful. It would be great if it could be my mount!" The leader shouted: "Everyone, don't be afraid. It's too late to transform. It's seriously injured at this moment. It won't last long at all. Let's go together." He rushed forward first, followed by everyone, But Dilong flinched, and never dared to go forward again. As soon as the Tiger King soared into the sky, he reached a high altitude in an instant. It kept roaring in the air, and bolts of lightning struck down from the sky, followed by large swathes of flames sweeping down. Lightning and raging flames danced wildly in the air, and there were bursts of wailing from the ground. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people were struck by the electric arc and fell into the raging fire. A scorched smell filled the air. Due to the shelter of trees, merchants in the distance couldn't see the tragedy of the battle here, but they could see the flames soaring into the sky, the lightning dancing wildly, and the huge roaring monster in the sky. Stop trembling. The giant tiger had been seriously injured before, and after some violent bombardment, it became weaker, but when it stopped attacking, more than a dozen people on the ground lost their lives. Guan Hao picked up a long spear from the ground and threw it vigorously. With a puff, it pierced into its right wing. It shook in the air and almost lost its balance and fell. The Tiger King was furious again, and began to frantically condense the nearby magic elements, and there were bursts of violent energy fluctuations in the air. The deputy head shouted: "Not good, the magic power is too strong this time, the Tiger King is going to do his best, everyone run away, otherwise we will have to die with it in the end." Chen Nan didn't want to be troublesome at first, but seeing that the mercenary group couldn't resist, he had no choice but to act.Seeing him walking forward, the little princess called out: "Scum, before you go to die, undo the restraint on me." "Shut your little crow's mouth." After speaking, he tapped the little princess on the forehead. The little princess cried out in pain: "Damn scum, I curse you to never return." "Then you just wait for the wonderful taste when the sleepy finger force strikes." Chen Nan quickly came to the side of the deputy head and said, "Is there a way for you to quickly send me to Tiger King's back?" The deputy head was stunned for a while, and said: "You... why are you here, leave quickly, I can't protect you here." Chen Nan raised his hand and sent out a golden sword energy, saying: "As long as you can send me up, I can kill it." The deputy head immediately realized that the young man in front of him was a master, he hesitated for a while, and said, "Can you do it alone?" "It's definitely possible, don't hesitate, or when it condenses enough magical energy, more people will die." The deputy head no longer hesitated, said: "Okay, thank you very much." He chanted a series of spells, and the endless wind elements quickly condensed around Chen Nan. He waved his magic wand lightly, and Chen Nan was swept up by a gust of wind, and rushed straight to the Tiger King in the air. Tiger King was condensing the magical elements in the air. When it noticed the uninvited guest rising rapidly from the ground, Chen Nan had already been teleported to a place less than three feet away from it by the deputy head. Just as it was about to open its mouth to spit out flames, Chen Nan took the first step. He quickly threw out the spear he had prepared in advance, and the spear pierced Tiger King's neck instantly with a faint golden light. The Tiger King uttered a long and shrill howl, and he was churning in the air. Blood spurted wildly, and a large rain of blood appeared in the air. After the deputy head exhausted the last bit of magical energy, he finally sent Chen Nan to the Tiger King's back. At this time, the Tiger King had gradually lost his balance in the air and was shaking uncontrollably. Chen Nan hurriedly grabbed its fur and stabilized his figure. Gradually, the Tiger King regained his balance, but at this moment its injury was already threatening its life, and it had no intention of standing up before the beasts, so it quickly flew into the distance. Chen Nan was in a hurry, and quickly climbed to the tiger's neck. After stabilizing his figure, he swung his fist and hit its giant hard. "Bang", "Bang", "Bang"... Tiger King's body shook again, and quickly fell to the ground. Chen Nan didn't dare to use any more force, the tiger king was extremely weak at this time, if he urged his sword energy, he could easily kill it, but he himself would be smashed to pieces.There was a whistling wind in his ears, which made him nervous. It wasn't until less than ten feet away from the ground that Tiger King stabilized his figure again and stopped his fall.At this time, traces of blood had already overflowed from between its ears and nose, its body muscles were slightly convulsed, and it was extremely weak from repeated severe injuries.
