But Xiao Chengyi still wanted to give it a try to see if this king of the mountain was reliable.
Xiao Chengyi walked out of the cave. The tiger lying on the ground suddenly stood up when it smelled the stranger's breath. It looked at the stranger with sharp eyes, exposed its fangs, and then let out a deafening roar.
Xiao Chengyi squinted his eyes and chuckled: "Sure enough, I know the smell."
This nose is much more sensitive than that of a dog.
Perhaps it had been a long time since a stranger had broken into the Gu Palace, so the tiger seemed a little excited, and without any hesitation, he jumped towards Xiao Chengyi in one leap.
Xiao Chengyi didn't panic, took out something from his arms and threw it towards the tiger's mouth.
The thing landed accurately in the tiger's mouth. It fell to the ground and swallowed the thing in its mouth in a few seconds.
The tiger turned around and looked at Xiao Chengyi, revealing his fangs again, but there was obviously more blood on the fangs.
It bared its teeth at Xiao Chengyi, but before it could take a step, it staggered and fell to the ground, unconscious.
Xiao Chengyi walked over and kicked the tiger. Seeing that it had fallen into a deep sleep, he raised his eyebrows and said, "It's really useful."
The high priest told him that after he was born, there was a tiger blocking his way, so he thought of outsmarting it.
He didn't have the skills to fight a tiger, so he prepared a piece of raw meat in advance and sprinkled a heavy dose of poison on the meat. Unexpectedly, the effect was quite good.
Although he easily dealt with a tiger, Xiao Chengyi inevitably had a headache when he thought of what was ahead.
He looked up at the road ahead and saw a large hall standing on a mountain peak towering into the sky in the distance, and that was the Gu King Palace.
Thinking that Yan Yan was still there waiting for him, Xiao Chengyi was immediately full of confidence.
He turned around and continued walking forward.
At this time, inside the Gu King's Palace.
Wushuang heard the roar of the tiger. She ran out and stood in front of Gu King Palace, looking down the mountain, and asked Ling Ji beside her: "Auntie, did you hear it? What was roaring just now, it was so scary."
Ling Ji also came out after hearing the noise. She frowned and said, "It's the tiger who is responsible for guarding the mountain at the foot of the mountain."
Wushuang's eyes widened: "There is a tiger in the mountains? Then why have I never heard it before?"
Ling Ji said: "This tiger only roars when it encounters an enemy. I'm afraid there are uninvited guests in the mountains."
She had stayed in the Gu Palace for many years and knew the tiger very well. The tiger was controlled by the Gu and could recognize the scent of familiar people.
However, if a stranger is encountered, an early warning will be issued. At this time, the guards in the mountain may have already gone to check.
Lingji didn't know who came, but she had a vague hunch in her heart that if it was really a stranger who came, there was only one possibility, and that was to save Wushuang.
Lingji looked at Wushuang who was looking into the distance and asked, "Do you want to leave here?"
Wushuang asked, "Auntie, do you want to?"
Lingji was stunned for a moment. She always thought about it in the past, but she hasn't thought about it since she got old.
She has been guarding one place since she was a child. She has long regarded this place as her home. Once she leaves, where will she go?
She lowered her eyes and said softly: "If possible, I would like to go out and have a look."
Just take a look at what the outside world is like, and she will die without regrets.
Wushuang held her hand, smiled at her and said, "Let's take that god with us."
