Although the sniffing rat does not have much magical power, its nose is very sensitive. As long as it sniffs it gently, it will be difficult to escape any scent.
It can even distinguish the magic breath of an immortal, let alone this little baby.
Therefore, there was no need for Qi Yuan to wait, the sniffing rat pointed the direction to him.
Qi Yuan was worried about the child's safety, so he didn't hesitate and directly drove the light and chased in the direction pointed by the sniffing rat.
His fire escape technique was so fast, in just a few breaths, he had already arrived on a steep mountain more than ten miles away.
This is because he needs the sniffing rat to help him find the direction to avoid chasing him too far, otherwise the speed will be faster.
If he becomes an immortal, Qi Yuan estimates that his fire escape technique will most likely reach the point where he can travel thousands of miles in an instant.
Of course, he was still incomparable to those with great supernatural powers. He had even heard his master say that the Kunpeng ancestor of Beiminghai could fly ninety thousand miles away.
With that speed, even among all the powerful beings in the Three Realms, Kunpeng Ancestor can be regarded as the top being.
Although Qi Yuan cannot compare with those great masters, among the Qi Refiners of the same level, he can be said to be one of the few.
Following the guidance of the sniffing rat, Qi Yuan soon found a cave on one side of the cliff.
Before I even got close to here, I heard a baby crying.
As soon as his consciousness swept away, Qi Yuan was furious.
I saw two cat demons, one big and one small, inside the cave.
Of course, small is only a relative term. In fact, this little bobcat is about three feet long, has strong muscles and bones, and looks very fierce.
The big lynx was even bigger in size, even three-thirds larger than the average tiger, and it was not weak at all with its demonic aura.
However, he was seriously injured for some unknown reason. Not only did he have several deep bruises on his body, but even one of his hind legs was bitten off during the fight, which looked quite miserable.
However, not far from the two cat demons, there were several human skeletons scattered on the ground. Half of them, judging from the slender bones, were obviously left by children.
On such a steep mountain wall, it is basically impossible for ordinary people to climb up, but in the caves of these two cat monsters, so many human bones appeared. The result is self-evident.
, are also cannibals.
The little cat demon carried the baby in front of the big lynx.
It seems that after the cat demon was injured, it was doing all the hunting.
Although this little lynx looked very filial, Qi Yuan was murderous in his heart.
Because, in his opinion, all monsters who feed on humans deserve to die.
This is just a simple matter of stance. Just because he is a human race, he will not tolerate this kind of thing in his heart.
What's more, these two cat monsters still live so close to the human village. If they are not eliminated today, more people will inevitably be killed by them in the future.
The big lynx stretched out its tongue and licked the little cat demon. During the period of time when it was injured, its children caught blood food for it every day, which made it very satisfied.
It was also a monster beast that originally lived in the depths of Mount Hua. Because its cultivation was not weak, it once occupied a mountain top. There were also several monster clans under its command who often paid tribute to it, which made its life quite comfortable.
However, the battles between monster clans are too common. Even in this Huashan Mountain, new monster clans will challenge these old monster clans every year.
Either for territory, or for more food sources, no matter what, these battles happen every year.
In fact, this is the norm among the demon clan.
Especially among the lower-level demon clans, it would be strange if there were no fights.
In the eyes of those great monsters, there is nothing wrong with this. The primitive world was so cruel, and it was just the survival of the fittest.
Every strong demon clan climbs to a higher place by stepping on the corpses of countless demon clans. This is how every powerful demon king comes out.
Even if this cat monster was seriously injured while fighting for territory with other monsters, otherwise, with its strength, it would not have come to the outskirts of the mountain.
Due to its severe injuries, it has little ability to protect itself. If it still stays deep in the mountains surrounded by monsters, it may soon be swallowed by other monsters without even a single bone left.
The cat demon looked at his child with satisfaction. It was hard for him to let him hunt for himself at such a young age.
But now it needs to recuperate and is unable to go out to hunt for food, so it can only let its children catch blood food for it.
The cat demon came close to the baby and sniffed the pure breath emanating from the baby. A strange smile suddenly appeared on the cat's face.
Such a pure breath of flesh and blood is exactly what it needs.
It opened its mouth wide, intending to tear off a tender arm to taste it first.
At this moment, a sudden roar came, and then a sword energy suddenly flew into the relatively narrow entrance of the cave.
The cat demon was shocked.
This sword energy was sharp and powerful, far beyond what it could contend with, so it had to dodge immediately.
However, it was already seriously injured and had difficulty moving. In addition, Qi Yuan's angry attack was extremely powerful and fast, and there was no way it could dodge.
So the cat demon howled in fear and was killed by Qi Yuan with a sword.
The other smaller cat demon did not expect such a change. Suddenly seeing the female cat demon being killed, he screamed in horror. Just as he was about to run away, he was hit by another sword energy that followed.
Kill directly.
Qi Yuan ducked into the cave, held the crying baby in his arms, and coaxed him gently for a while.
Perhaps because he felt that there was no danger, the baby gradually stopped crying.
Qi Yuan teased the baby gently, then looked up at the corpses in the cave and couldn't help but sigh.
He did not know the specific identities of these people, and it was impossible to take them back and bury them one by one.
In fact, for these people living in relatively remote places, as long as a family member is missing, it is basically certain that they are dead.
After all, there are countless ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests, and there are also many monsters. Ordinary people do not have the ability to survive in the wild.
Qi Yuan turned around and came out of the cave, slashed out with his sword, and collapsed the cave, so that the bones would not be destroyed by other beasts in the future.
Then he held the baby carefully, feeling a cold wind blowing from high in the sky. He quickly cast a protective spell, and a layer of cyan shield protected the baby inside to prevent such a young body from being exposed to the wind and cold.
After he flew all the way back to the village, people had already brought in the black bears and placed them in an open space in the center of the village.
There are also some people who are reinforcing the wall of the village. They were violently attacked by the black bears earlier, and many places have already shown signs of cracks or even collapse.
This wall is the most important line of defense to protect their village, and can block most ferocious beasts.
If there was no stronghold wall, they would have to face frequent attacks from many ferocious beasts. That's why they paid so much attention to the stronghold wall. They started repairing it just after the battle.
As Qi Yuan slowly fell from the sky, people were surprised when they saw the baby in his arms.
The village elders, in particular, were even more grateful to him. With a series of thanks, Qi Yuan handed the child back to them.
The young woman hugged her child and couldn't help crying with joy.
There is no mother who does not feel sorry for her child, especially in such a situation where she has lost and found her child. It is normal for her to lose control of her emotions.
The village elder's beard trembled with excitement and he burst into tears.
Their family's incense was finally saved, and they no longer had to worry about having no successors.
People in the village were talking around Qi Yuan, especially the village elders, who wanted to keep Qi Yuan and entertain him well.
It was hard to reject the warm hospitality, so Qi Yuan reluctantly agreed to stay as a guest.
However, he didn't notice that there was a clear gaze staring at him all the time.
