Candle Dragon to the left

Chapter 4 4. Rising Creatures (4k)

In the deep silence of the mountain, birds and beasts startled.

With the help of the pale full moon, you can see the burly tiger standing on the mountain. Its hair seems to flow through the flames, and the black stripes stretch out. It swallows the mountain mist and looks majestic.

It held its head high, ignoring the distant firelight in the mountains where humans lived.

The breathing became heavier, the bones and muscles twisted, as if the chains in the body were cut off, and the released majestic energy poured into every inch of flesh and bones in the body.It knows that it is transforming at this moment, breaking away from the shackles of the world, and embarking on an unknown and powerful road.And after waiting for it to transform, the people in that village will become the dry bones under its path, as sacrifices for its ascension.

As it should, so should human outcomes.

Once in the depths of the Taihang Mountains, the tiger population was rare but powerful. They entrenched deep in the mountains and carved out territory among themselves. If there was any conflict, they would fight with claws and teeth, bones and blood.They are the kings of the mountains, standing proudly above the beasts, overlooking the mountains and forests, and can see the trembling of the beasts.

But suddenly, they all died.

When it was a cub, it witnessed hunters dragging away its mother's body.The older brothers and sisters pounced on it fiercely, trying to save it, but they only added a few tiger skins.Although their roars shocked all the beasts in the mountains and forests, they were useless under the dark gunpoints of human beings, and death was the end.

It survived by luck and grew slowly, and its footprints were all over the green hills, and the roar of the tiger resounded all over the field.

No more responses from the same race.

It turns out that there is only one of these mountains left.

Now it is rising, and it is sure to slaughter all the mountain people. Even in the face of terrifying guns, its transformed claws and teeth are also fearless!
"Roar!" At the most critical moment of transformation, the blood in his body was burning, turning into pure fuel to supply himself.But it was too painful, the fierce tiger finally couldn't help roaring,
The roar of the tiger contained the deterrence of the rising creatures, and the creatures in the entire forest lay dormant on the ground for a moment, not daring to move.The roar of the tiger spread far away, and ripples appeared in the surrounding air.

There was silence in the mountains for a long time, and occasionally sensitive mountain people woke up from their sleep.

They walked out of the house in palpitations and looked up at the sky. They didn't know when, the moon as big as a mopan disappeared tonight, and the stars also disappeared one after another.Seeing the dark clouds push over from all directions, the flickering light of thunder can be vaguely seen in the depths.

Following a thunderstorm, it seemed that the world was shaking.

The wind in the summer night mountain was actually mixed with cold air, whistling and blowing against the door curtain, driving the mountain people who had walked out of the house back into the house.

The mountain folk who walked into the house naturally couldn't see the branch-like thunderbolt descending from the sky, smashing on the top of the mountain, where the rocks splashed and the air rumbled.

In the next instant, the pillar of thunder flashed out, eliminating the world.

The dark clouds then dispersed, revealing brilliant stars.

At this moment, the mountain top hit by the thunder left a huge crater.Terrible aura brews and rises in it.

"Boom!"

A giant claw stepped out, the claw was like a sharp blade, but it was bleeding.There was blood between the teeth of the ferocious tiger's head, and the flame-like skin was black and embarrassed, but the pair of eyes glowed with a terrifying green light, and the breath shot out blue electric chips.

Under the moonlight, the wound healed quickly.

The pattern of flames covered the fierce tiger again, like a crown.It transformed successfully, and the body is now incredibly strong.It roared, and the roar resounded through the sky, and the mountain finally ushered in the king.

With a green light, it stares at the village, and licks its lips with a red tongue full of barbs.

it's time.

But the pace is stagnant.

It heard the sound of rushing water, and the huge red monster raised its head in the river, its scales were like a stone.

…………

Fox was deeply shocked.

Big snakes run rampant at the bottom of the river, and the waterways extending in all directions seem to be a shortcut for it.The red figure snaked through it, breaking through the water at an incredible speed.It curled up on top of the big snake's head, exhausting all its strength just to resist the impact of the water.

When the big snake got up, it ran to the shore and saw the red big snake facing the fierce tiger on the mountain.

Fortunately, he caught up, and if he slowed down a bit, the fierce tiger would head to the distant village.At that time, everything about this newly born rising creature will be wiped out, and the creatures living in this mountain will suffer together.It doesn't want this, so it wants a stronger presence to stop it.

The tiger is kind to it.

It was captured by hunters more than ten years ago. It was this tiger who attacked the village without any intention of rescuing it. The majestic tiger just glanced at it from a distance before stepping back into the mountains. When it broke through the cage, it could only see an orange-red shadow rushing towards the mountains.The tiger may have forgotten it long ago, but the fox knows it well.The tiger follows and knows the laws of nature and seeks the most ancient solution to violence, the fox knows it can't.

Once this happens, it will be beyond redemption.

"Roar!" The tiger roared in the mountains and forests, and the fox still shone with white light to resist it from a long distance away.

It seems that even if they are both rising creatures, the gap is not so big. The fox's exhaustion fell into Li Xi'an's eyes, and it swung its tail, breaking away the invisible deterrent of the fierce tiger.

This made the ferocious tiger startled, fear flashed deep in the dark green pupils of the tiger, it thought that it was the group of creatures who were at the forefront of this world, but it seems that this is not the case, there is a powerful and terrifying existence earlier than it set foot on the road.

On that big snake, it felt a heavy pressure like a mountain.

It doesn't care what the other party is doing. Before they rise up, predators face each other. If they don't give in to each other and leave, there is only one way to fight.This was true before the rise, and it is also true after the rise.It stared at the crimson figure hanging its head under the moonlight, its muscles exerted strength, blue-blue arcs rushed out, and the sound of thunder and lightning exploded!
Fighting is also a coronation for a king, and it is not afraid.

Li Xi'an looked at the ferocious tiger on the top of the mountain, wrapped in cyan electric arcs all over its body, and jumped down from the mountain in a few breaths, every time it hit the ground, there was a rumbling sound.The fierce tiger stopped in the forest not far from the river, and the lightning flashed to illuminate the flame tattoo.It is proud and smart at the same time. The body of a big snake is different in the river and on land. It is no different from killing a big snake in the water.

So it waits.

It is the big snake that comes looking for it instead of it looking for the big snake, and if the big snake doesn't go ashore it will leave.

Li Xi'an understood, pulled his long tail from the river, and fled into the mountains.

Its purpose of coming here has changed a bit. On that ferocious tiger, it actually developed a long-lost appetite. You must know that since it hit the catastrophe cloud, it breathed clouds and mist, and it has not plundered blood for decades.

The red figure flashed past among the towering ancient trees, and a huge monster of this size walked at such a speed, which naturally produced a strong wind.Li Xi'an took a deep breath, and then let it out long, the sound was like clouds rubbing against each other, as if there was lightning in its throat.

The tiger growled lowly, fell to the ground, and then kicked out suddenly, leaving extremely deep paw prints on the ground.

The fox could not see, and could only feel the two monsters fighting deep in the mountain.

But soon, it was stunned, a little unbelievable, a gentle white light rose from the fox, and it quickly ran into the mountain.Because the strong wind traversed the entire mountain forest, the red snake shadow snuffed out the blue and blue thunder.

It's terrible, the mountain god is more terrifying than it imagined.

"Roar!" The fierce tiger roared, but the thunder did not appear, and the flickering golden candlelight in the mid-air reflected its distressed appearance at the moment, which was the cold gaze of the big snake.

Li Xi'an's huge body entangled it tightly, and it was getting closer and closer. Its steel-hard body scraped against the tiger's body. Thousands of iron scales opened and closed, like thousands of sharp knives cutting a fierce tiger. flesh and blood.It looks down on the fierce tiger from top to bottom, and the snake face covered with copper is slightly playful.

A rising ferocious tiger is still no different from a domestic cat in the eyes of the big red snake.

"Please spare her life!" The white fox rushed over, transformed into a human form in an instant, and shouted anxiously.

Li Xi'an turned his head, the eye sockets on the ferocious snake face were filled with burning golden flames, indifferent.

The fox knew that the other party was still waiting for her to speak.She knelt down on the ground and brought the tiger with her past one by one.The fierce tiger also listened, his oily green eyes flickering with confusion.It wanted to be angry with the fox but was powerless from the bottom of its heart. It knew that the fox wanted to save it, but since it was determined to take this path, it didn't have to fear death.Although it really didn't think about the impact of this move on other creatures deep in the mountain.

Li Xi'an knew that the fox was afraid that it would directly eat the vicious tiger.

It waits for what chip the fox can offer to make it give up the blood food it has got.

"I'm willing to exchange the road I walked for hers." The woman in white said with a solemn expression.

Li Xi'an pondered.It glanced at the blue thunder that occasionally appeared on the fierce tiger, and looked back at the woman in white in front of it.

The skyline is slightly brighter, and the full moon has moved to the corner of the sky unconsciously.

The big snake raised its head, and it felt that something was watching it, and an inexplicable feeling emerged from the bottom of its heart.

The figure of the woman in white gradually faded in the light of the sky.

She lost after rising, and planned to return everything to the mountain. The fox believed that the big snake was a mountain god, and returning to the mountain was tantamount to giving it as a gift.Under the sunlight, the woman in white smiled softly
She read a string of words and told Li Xi'an that this was her journey, and now the road is broken.The fierce tiger struggled and roared, wanting to stop it, it didn't understand why the fox came here just for one side.The struggling tiger body was firmly imprisoned by the big snake.

The mountains are silent and gentle.

Li Xi'an was also silent, the fox could understand what it meant, it clearly did not agree to the deal, the mountain god was just a title to it, returning to the mountains was equivalent to returning to the cycle of natural order, it was a waste of time tonight, Also made enemies by the way.

The woman disappeared and turned into dots of white light, leaving only a comatose little white fox in place.

Surprisingly, the white light she dissipated did not fall on the mountains, but on the huge red monster.The contact of the white light and the red scales is like water droplets melting into the rivers, lakes and seas, with little ripples, adding a touch of fantasy to the ferocious snake body.

Li Xian was taken aback.

As the fox's path flowed through its heart, the inexplicable feeling before seemed clear.

It was the mountains that agreed to the fox's request.

And it is the walker of the mountains.

Li Xi'an put down the fierce tiger, lowered his head, golden flames burned in his eye sockets.

"If you still choose to slaughter innocent people, I will not stop her, but her path will be ruined in vain." The voice was low, like thunder rolling.

After 200 years.

The big snake spoke.

The ferocious tiger lost its terrifying arrogance, its front paws bent and its head fell to the ground, its eyes staring at the sleeping white fox.

"It's just innocent creatures." Orochi added.

The fierce tiger was stunned, he understood something, and his eyes showed gratitude.

"Blue Flame."

"That's the name she gave you."

After Li Xi'an finished speaking, he stopped looking after the fierce tiger, it turned its head and dived into the river, and with the splash of a few waves, the water rippled to the river bank.The red figure quickly disappeared into the dark place in the deep water.

It is going to a place and has no time to play house with the kitten.

The fox's memory tells that rising creatures, except for a few creatures with extraordinary talents, generally need a medium, which is the key to opening the way to rise.Where foxes live, there is such a "medium".She rises by devouring the fruit when the medium is ripe.

In the deep water, the golden candle flickered, and the huge body stirred the water.

In Li Xi'an's impression, it has never eaten the so-called medium.

So it is very necessary to see what the "medium" is.

…………

A ray of sunlight from the sky shines on Lin Zhiqiang's face through the window.

He woke up with a start.There is still an old book open on the chest.

Lin Youxiang was a rare scholar in their generation, that is, his father. He saw his father's dead body in the yard yesterday, sitting on a bamboo chair by the river, with a contented smile on his face.His expression was at ease, even his face was ruddy. If it wasn't for the fact that the old man had no breath, he would have thought that the old man was still alive and just asleep.

This is not the point.

The old man held a scale in his hand.The whole body is crimson red, the size of a baby's palm, and when placed in the sun, the edge presents the texture of crystal clear jade.

"This is?" The man was taken aback, and the expression on his face gradually turned into distorted ecstasy amidst surprise.

He knew right then that he had found the right way, and he had really found what Gu Yanwang was looking for.Originally, he scoffed at the stories the old man told before his death. The big snake with the thickness of the water tank and the mountain god of the Taihang Mountain were all ghosts and ghosts from the old days in his opinion.

A scale the size of a baby's palm, how big should the owner of the scale be?
He rummaged through all the boxes and places where things could be hidden in the house last night, trying to find some clues.So I have this book in my hand.

The books are yellowed and old, and it can be seen that they are the old man's own handwriting.

There is a story in it that describes it like this, saying that it rained for three days and three nights, and the mountain torrent broke out. It was supposed to submerge the village, but a big snake appeared and dispelled the heavy rain and the torrent.

It's ridiculous, very ridiculous, but Lin Zhiqiang doesn't care, it's better to say that the more ridiculous the story is, the more it can save his life.

After packing up the scales and the storybook, the man went to worship in front of an adobe in the backyard.This is the earthen grave he simply tidied up for his old man yesterday, without a monument.

"Father, Zhiqiang is gone. I hope you can bless my son and I... live a few more years." The man originally wanted to say bless you to be lucky and make more money, but then he thought, if the old man knew that he was gambling He lost all the money he had made in the early years, so he had to be beaten a few times.

It's okay to live a few more years.

Which father doesn't want his children to live longer.

"Boom——" At the village head, the tractor stopped, and the man in a suit stepped into the rear car. The condition of the car was a little better than the last time. This time, he had a few more gold and jade jewelry on his body.
