Two hours later.
"Roar!"
A youth dressed in green carried a huge snake head and stepped on the back of a ferocious tiger. He was as agile as a loach. No matter how the tiger bumped or rolled, it was unable to shake him off its back. In the end, the tiger was exhausted from running and collapsed on the ground. It opened its mouth and panted heavily.
The youth did not feel tired at all. He squatted in front of the tiger and said with a sneer, "You think you can sneak up on us?
You're courting death! "
The tiger's eyes flashed. It suddenly opened its mouth and bit at the youth's throat. Ferocious beasts killed their prey with a single strike. No matter how strong a warrior was, they would die instantly if their throat was bitten!
The tiger was probably faking its death, waiting for this moment to strike.
However, the moment its sharp fangs touched the youth, the youth smiled sinisterly. He raised his hand and slapped it. A golden light shot out from his palm. It was so fast that no one could see what it was.
The tiger only felt something fly into its mouth. It did not think much of it, but in the next second, its stomach suddenly hurt. It was a heart-wrenching pain that seemed to grab at its soul. The tiger could not help but convulse. It wanted to close its mouth and bite the human in front of it to death, but it felt extremely weak.
The world in front of it gradually turned black …
Bang!
The tiger's corpse fell to the ground. It could not be more dead.
Looking at the undamaged fur of the ferocious tiger in front of him, the young man grinned and said in a low voice, "Not bad, not bad. This Lightning Technique of Interchangeability is really useful. Although I've only cultivated it to the first level, it's still very useful.
My attack power is also much stronger than before.
I can even easily hunt a Rank 3 Perfect White-fronted Tiger.
It's a pity that the hunting time is about to end. I can't waste time here. Otherwise, I'll kill these fellows whose fur is worth a few thousand taels of silver. Sigh, if other demonic beasts are so self-aware and take the initiative to come to me, I'll save a lot of effort. "
The young man carrying the snake's head was Tang Yong. He had just learned the Lightning Technique and was about to test it out when some reckless demonic beasts came to him. In front of him, the Third Prince was standing not far away. During the past two hours, many demonic beasts had smelled the fragrance of the snake's corpse and followed him. After all, it was the corpse of a fifth-rank demonic beast. Although it did not contain as much spiritual energy as a spiritual fruit, it was still not to be underestimated. Furthermore, the snake's corpse was huge. If eating a piece of meat was not enough, eating the whole snake's corpse might be more nutritious than eating a spiritual fruit!
This tiger was a beast that smelled the scent and chased after it. In the end, it did not expect to become someone's prey.
Tang Yong looked at the tiger's corpse. Although he was a little distressed, he really could not carry more corpse. He could only cut off the tiger's most precious fur with his spirit sword and took out its four fangs. After taking care of these, Tang Yong found a stinky weed, squeezed out the juice of the weed, and washed his hands.
After cutting off the tiger's fur, his body was stained with a heavy smell of blood. Washing his hands with this stinky grass juice could cover up the smell of blood and the snake corpse. Although it could not completely cover it, it was better than nothing.
Throwing away the grass in his hand, Tang Yong carried the snake corpse again and moved forward.
The two of them once again ran wildly in the woods. The corpses of spirit beasts had a certain degree of freshness, and only fresh corpses could ensure an abundance of spiritual energy. As the corpses rotted, the spiritual energy would also quickly dissipate. When the time came, it would not be as delicious as it was now.
The Third Prince glanced at Tang Yong from the side with a trace of a smile in his eyes. When he encountered the beast, he thought that Tang Yong would make him fight with the tiger. After all, he had been trying to distance himself from the tiger just now. The Third Prince was not stupid, and of course, he knew that Tang Yong was afraid of getting into trouble if he interacted too much with him.
However, after seeing his behavior, the Third Prince admired Tang Yong very much. Although his character was a little strange, he was very witty and brave. Besides, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes today, he definitely wouldn't have believed that the seemingly ordinary son of a concubine of the Marquis' residence would be so decisive and decisive in killing.
The son of a concubine was much more outstanding than the legitimate sons of many wealthy families. The Third Prince's heart skipped a beat, and he seemed to be even more eager to invite him to participate in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament. However, it was not a good time to mention this matter now.
The two of them ran all the way, and they didn't encounter a single demonic beast along the way, perhaps due to the effect of the grass juice. They successfully walked out of the woods.
As soon as they reached the outer area of the woods, the number of humans began to gradually increase. Tang Yong and the Third Prince also parted ways. Before leaving, Tang Yong saw that the Third Prince was dressed in rags, so he took off his outer robe and gave it to him.
Putting aside the fact that the Third Prince came to him for protection, Tang Yong still had a good impression of the prince, who had a high IQ and EQ. Although Tang Yong deliberately disliked him several times, the Third Prince didn't show any special emotions. Instead, he was gracious and had a sense of propriety.
No one would hate smart people, and Tang Yong was the same.
The Third Prince took the clothes and smiled at Tang Yong. "Brother Tang Yong, thank you so much for this journey. See you again!"
Tang Yong cupped his fists and said, "See you again!"
The Third Prince put on the clothes and tidied himself up a little. He immediately exuded a noble aura that made it hard for others to look at him directly.
He nodded slightly at Tang Yong and walked towards the crowd.
The crowd not far away seemed to have discovered him as they immediately burst into exclamations.
"Look, it's the Third Prince. Inform the guards to hurry up and welcome him!"
"It seems that the Sage Demon Cult's assassination of the Third Prince has failed. This time, the Third Prince was assassinated and His Majesty is furious. There are already signs of a reshuffle in the court.
Shut up and stop talking about it. Be careful of what you say! "
"Third Prince, are you alright?"
Seeing the crowd crowd around the Third Prince, Tang Yong was completely relieved. No matter how powerful the Lifeless Demon Cult was, it was impossible for them to assassinate in front of so many people. The Third Prince was completely safe. Tang Yong lifted the snake's tail and kicked the snake's head with his foot. He placed it directly on the snake's body. He rubbed his toes on the ground and slid forward dozens of meters as if he had oil under his feet.
This was the first level of the Lightning Changes. Every time he used this skill, his body would become extremely agile. After mastering this skill, he could travel thousands of miles in a day. Even a Martial Master would not be able to catch up with him.
Tang Yong looked at the proficiency of the first level and found that it required 1,000 points. Tang Yong had insisted on using Lightness Skill all the way, but his proficiency only increased by one point.
After asking the system, Tang Yong found out that the calculation of Lightness Skill was different from martial arts and inner strength. He calculated it according to the distance. Every 10,000 meters he ran, he would gain one point of proficiency.
Tang Yong took a deep breath. The road to leveling up Lightness Skill was a long one!
In the open space outside the forest, there were already various stalls gathered. The people who came out of the forest would sell things to these vendors. The vendors would collect the goods in batches and sell them to businesses all over the country. Of course, some of the idle people who participated in the Demon Hunting Meet had to pay a certain amount of demonic beasts to the government as taxes.
As for people like Tang Yong, scholars from various academies, and the military's Warrior's Department, they would have to hand over all their prey. Finally, the country would distribute some rewards of equal value.
As soon as Tang Yong came out of the forest and was about to register his prey, he was targeted by a Moustache official holding a book. The Moustache looked at Tang Yong's prey with a surprised expression. At the same time, he looked at Tang Yong suspiciously from head to toe. Then, he asked, "Did you really hunt this?
How did you hunt it? "
The Moustache's tone was not very pleasant. Although it was a normal question, it sounded more like an interrogation when it came out of his mouth. Tang Yong's face darkened. He coldly glanced at the Moustache and retorted, "If it wasn't me, was it you?"
