Peach Blossom Divine Medical God-Chapter 1826 - 1820: Creature in the Cave Dwelling
Additionally, he wanted to provide Taoist Liu with a safe environment to accept the inheritance.
In this dim and enclosed environment, if that creature continued to exist, it would pose a fatal threat to Taoist Liu. If it entered the great hall, everything would be over.
Therefore, for Taoist Liu’s sake, he must pursue it.
The creature was incredibly fast. Each time Chen Yang was about to catch up, it transformed into a silhouette and vanished again.
Moreover, the creature was obviously very familiar with the environment within the cave, moving left and right with great ease.
Unlike Chen Yang, who couldn’t fully unleash his speed to pursue it.
"This won’t do. I can’t keep chasing it like this. If I continue this way, it will surely escape."
Realizing that the yellow shadow was leading him in circles, he immediately knew he couldn’t continue pursuing it this way.
While chasing, he carefully recalled many details from the pursuit earlier.
He found that the yellow shadow seemed to have a pattern in its escape. It wasn’t moving in a straight line, but instead zigzagging back and forth.
"I’ve got a solution now."
After a brief contemplation, Chen Yang devised a plan. He decided not to follow and pursue it directly but to proceed straight along the central road!
The creature was dodging and circling around, surely taking many detours.
By following a straight line, he didn’t need to mind the crisscrossing structures anymore. He maximized his speed, charging forward several hundred meters, and then stopped at the entrance of an alley.
"Three, two, one!"
Standing firm, after a countdown of three, sure enough, the yellow shadow dashed out from the alley entrance where Chen Yang awaited!
This time, Chen Yang was prepared, waiting in advance.
So he immediately saw clearly the creature’s appearance!
It turned out to be a perfectly built, agile cat-like animal!
It had the size of a cat, but its face resembled a tiger!
To be honest, he had considered all kinds of monsters, but never imagined such a creature would appear.
Chen Yang was shocked inside but did not let down his guard due to the creature’s small size, like a normal cat.
This creature was very much likely the culprit that wounded Han Tianming!
In the previous attack, it actually discharged power capable of seriously injuring the Qi Refinement Realm, absolutely a mighty being that demands respect!
Chen Yang noticed the feline, and the yellow cat also noticed Chen Yang.
It instinctively wanted to turn and flee, but its speed was too fast and it couldn’t stop due to the strong inertia, forcing it to move forward!
Ah-woo!
It suddenly let out a fierce yet childlike roar, then decisively lunged at Chen Yang.
"It’s truly a little tiger!"
Initially, Chen Yang was a bit skeptical, thinking it was a cat, but upon hearing the roar, it was confirmed that the one approaching was indeed a little tiger! 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"Whether a tiger or a sick cat, today you’re not getting away!"
Chen Yang drew the Stone-Cutting Sword and charged ahead.
Clang clang!
The claws clashed with the Stone-Cutting Sword, producing a metallic sound.
To Chen Yang’s surprise, the creature’s claws remained unharmed. The two forces collided, and the little tiger was pushed away by inertia, leaving deep and long claw marks on the ground before coming to a hesitant stop.
The little tiger bared its fangs, its face full of ferocity.
After a slight shock, Chen Yang turned again to look at the little tiger.
Neither moved, and Chen Yang finally got a thorough look at the little tiger’s appearance.
Its form was typical of a small tiger in a zoo, each detail identical! The only difference was that this little tiger was far more formidable than those in zoos.
Its aura was more terrifying than a large tiger!
"How come there’s such a little tiger in this cave?" Chen Yang muttered to himself, yet unexpectedly, the little creature actually responded!
"Outsider, I don’t want to kill you! You better leave quickly."
The tiger spoke with a fierce tone, but its voice sounded like a child’s.
"You can actually talk?"
Chen Yang was very surprised!
This creature could unleash power at the Qi Refinement Realm, which was already very terrifying, and now it could even speak. Chen Yang was momentarily at a loss for how to address it.
"Outsider, you better leave quickly, or I will surely bite you to death." The little tiger did not answer Chen Yang’s question and warned him with a fierce threat before turning to run.
Chen Yang certainly wouldn’t let it go just like that.
Taoist Liu’s safety wasn’t guaranteed yet, and the identity and origin of this little creature were unclear. How could he let it run away?
"Stop!"
Chen Yang lifted his sword and pursued.
Human and beast began another race.
However, this competition didn’t last long! Very quickly, Chen Yang caught up with the little tiger.
Ah-woo!
The little tiger seemed enraged, suddenly let out a fierce roar, and turned to bite Chen Yang.
Fortunately, Chen Yang reacted swiftly, easily dodging the attack!
"Outsider, I admit you’re strong! But if you keep chasing, I will surely make you die!" The little tiger warned fiercely once more.
Chen Yang dodged to a safe distance about four meters away, looking at it: "I think you misunderstood me, I’m chasing you with no other intentions, just wanting to ask you some questions. Answer me, and I’ll leave."
With Chen Yang’s words, the little tiger’s expression slightly softened. Eventually, for some unknown consideration, it surprisingly agreed with Chen Yang very decisively.
"Outsider, what questions do you have?"
Its quick agreement left Chen Yang quite astonished. This little guy looked fierce on the outside, but in reality, it seemed easier to communicate with.
"You call me an outsider, which indicates you have always lived here, right? Besides you, are there other creatures here? Was it you who attacked Han Tianming, and why did you launch the attack?"
"Also, when so many people entered last time, why didn’t you appear, but now you’ve ambushed me?"
Chen Yang poured out all the questions he had onto the little tiger.
The little tiger seemed to be weighing which questions to answer and which not, staying silent for over ten seconds without speaking.
"Why aren’t you answering?"
Chen Yang pressed on.
"I cannot answer! If you don’t leave, I’ll make sure you never leave!" The little tiger suddenly unleashed its aura again. Its appearance was as fierce as could be, threatening Chen Yang to leave.
"..."
Chen Yang figured out that the little guy likely lived in the cave all the time, and the reason for attacking humans might be due to distinguishing conditions.
"If you can’t answer these, I won’t make things difficult for you. Right now, you know there’s someone in the Bronze Great Hall, right? Will you attack him?" Chen Yang realized that this little tiger actually wasn’t very malicious, so he didn’t want to create unnecessary conflicts.
If he could guarantee the safety of Taoist Liu, he would immediately leave, exit first.
As for the situation of this little tiger, he would later gather more clues to understand it. Asking wouldn’t yield any answers.
Judging from its earlier change in attitude.
"I won’t attack him!" The little tiger replied.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang couldn’t help but ask, "Why?"
"Are you leaving or not?" The little tiger bared its fangs again! Clearly reaching the limit of its patience.
"I’m leaving."
Chen Yang truly didn’t want to have conflicts with this creature, as he roughly suspected the little tiger’s identity.
It was very likely an ancient cave guardian spirit animal.
This situation had been mentioned once when Lisa was chatting with Ma Jiantao, but he hadn’t taken it seriously then.
Seeing the little tiger this time, he remembered that matter.
Since the little tiger was a guardian spirit beast, it certainly wouldn’t attack Taoist Liu.
After all, Taoist Liu was a descendant of the Chiyun lineage, and the little tiger’s cultivation level wasn’t low; it should be able to tell.
Starting from these points, Chen Yang didn’t plan to have a conflict with the little tiger.
