After listening to his story, Leng Xuan and the other four looked at each other, and then asked: "By the way, old man, a friend of ours got lost with us not long ago. I wonder if you have seen him?" Then
The old man thought for a moment, nodded slowly and said: "A few days ago, a middle-aged man did come to our place. He stayed for one night and left the next day." As he said that, he took the middle-aged man to our place.
The man's appearance was described. After hearing this, Leng Xuan immediately determined that the middle-aged man was the Mad Tiger Beast. "Old man, do you know where he went?" The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know.
He didn't say anything to us." After saying that, he changed his mouth and said: "Okay, you guys have something to eat first, and I will be the host at the temple."
After the old man left, Yan Chengfeng was heard saying: "It seems that that beast has woken up." Feng Lie asked curiously: "What beast?" Yan Chengfeng asked in return: "Do you know what it is?
Longhorns?" Faced with his inquiry, Leng Xuan and Feng Shang shook their heads, except for Feng Lie. Yan Chengfeng said: " Longhorns, as the name suggests, are the horns that grow on the bodies of beasts. And longhorns,
It is a kind of existence between beasts and monsters." Leng Xuan was puzzled: "What do you mean?" Yan Chengfeng said: "The beetles are actually very common when they are born. However, some of them are growing up.
Later, they will mutate. Once the mutation occurs, horns will grow on their heads, and this is also the main factor in determining whether they are monsters. The beetles that mutate into monsters do not change much.
, but its life has been extended a lot. However, if a beetle undergoes two mutations in a row, it will fall into a deep sleep. In this process, its strength will increase rapidly over time. When it changes again
When it woke up, it successfully completed the perfect transformation of the monster. At that time, its strength was enough to rank among the first-class monsters."
After a pause, he continued: "It's just that the chance of this is very small. It is already very difficult for one or two of the tens of millions of longhorned beetles to successfully complete the transformation. Back then, when I came to the Yan River Valley, I discovered that
I killed a sleeping beetle. At that time, the beetle had just completed its mutation and was not very strong, so I did not take action against it." Hearing this, Leng Xuan couldn't help but ask: "Why?" Yan Chengfeng
Said: "Of course it's for the beetle horns on its head. Once it successfully completes its metamorphosis, its beetle horns will become more valuable. Because of this, I decided to let it live. However, things are difficult.
Unexpectedly, shortly after I returned from the Yan River Valley, Shengtianmen was besieged by Xiu Zhengdao, and I also fell because of this."
Leng Xuan nodded slowly and said, "Listen to what you said, are all the changes that happened in Yanyan Valley caused by that beetle?" Yan Chengfeng nodded and said, "It must be so. That elder of yours, I guess.
It is also for this reason that I have not gone back." At this time, Feng Shang asked: "Then do you know where the beetle is?" Yan Chengfeng nodded and said: "I will take you there later.
"
After coming out of the old man's wooden house, the four of them, Leng Xuan, spread out and, led by Yan Chengfeng, galloped out of the forest. After a few minutes of walking, the four of them slowly landed in front of a towering mountain peak.
