Chapter 49 Tiger Roaring Valley (1)

Tiger Roaring Valley is located at the southernmost tip of Qingyun Mountain.

After getting off the Xinxiu Peak and walking all the way, after walking through the long mountain road, the scene in front of Tang Jie suddenly opened up, and he saw a village.

The village is not big, with only a few dozen families, but it is full of noise and excitement. Several men dressed as peasants are holding down a big-horned ox. One of them is holding a long-eared sharp knife and stabbing the ox to death. Take out a few coins and give them to a student standing next to him. The student took the money and muttered, "It's just a little." He shook his head and left.

Some old ladies are going to the drying field to dry herbs, and there are also some middle-aged women giving students money.

Some iron cages can be seen further away, all kinds of ferocious beasts are locked in the cages, and there are even some low-level monsters among them.

Tang Jie knew that this was Huxiao Village.

Huxiao Village is a very peculiar place in Xiyue College. The villagers here mainly make a living by trading the produce in the valley with their students.

After the students have harvested in the valley, if they find it cumbersome, they can sell it to the villagers here, and the villagers will process it on the spot, and then sell it back to the college after processing. Sometimes when the prey in Tiger Roaring Valley runs out, the villagers will help catch some and throw them into the valley.

Behind the village is the entrance to Tiger Roaring Valley, where a guru sits at the entrance and is responsible for the fees. There is also a sign next to the master, which writes various rules after entering the valley.

There are many rules, such as the use of powerful spells to destroy the landform environment in the valley, herbs that are less than one year old cannot be excavated, some herbs cannot be excavated, and some herbs that are less than three years old cannot be excavated.

As for whether you know how to tell the difference, the academy doesn't care, anyway, it has been taught in class, if you bring something you shouldn't, then wait to be punished.

Just as Tang Jie arrived at this moment, a middle-aged woman came up to meet her, and said with a smile: "Brother, you want to enter the valley? Why don't you buy a map from me first, as long as ten spiritual coins."

"Map? Ten?" Tang Jie asked in surprise.

"That's right." The woman clapped her hands and said, "Brother, don't think it's too expensive. With my map, I won't be afraid of getting lost wherever I go. After all, it was drawn by my man after he was born and died several times."

"Why should I be afraid of getting lost?" Tang Jie said with a smile, "I need a card to enter the valley. Every time I enter the valley, I will be automatically teleported out of the valley after six hours. If there is danger, I can also teleport temporarily. I don't have to worry about getting lost no matter where I go. ?”

The woman laughed and said, "That's what I said, but my map not only guides the way, but also has information records. Where there are any monsters and what kind of herbs, I can remember them clearly. Forget it, look at the little brother." You are also a pleasing appearance, I will be at a disadvantage today, as long as you have five spiritual coins, it will be done."

"So, then your map must be selling well."

"Naturally," the woman boasted.

"Since this is the case, if you want to come to the various herb collection points marked along the way on this map, the ones that can be collected have already been harvested, right? Even if there are those that are not harvested, I'm afraid it's not so good." Tang Jie said leisurely.

The woman's face froze immediately, and she put on a serious face: "It turns out that she is not easy to fool. If you don't want to buy it, you should tell me earlier, and I will spend so much time talking."

Said and walked away.

Tang Jie looked amused, and shouted: "If you are willing to have a piece of spiritual money, I will buy it."

The woman turned her head immediately: "Success!"

Has quickly stuffed the map into his hand, lest he regret it.

Tang Jie looked at the map. Although the drawing was rough, the terrain was roughly marked, and the information was indeed attached. It was not a fake, so he paid the money.

When they came to Taniguchi, several students were standing there. Seeing Tang Jie approaching, one of them asked, "Are you going to Tiger Roaring Valley? Are you interested in traveling with us?"

The terrain of Tiger Roaring Valley is complex and there are many monsters, so students often enter in groups.

However, Tang Jie had his own intentions when he came here, but he had no choice but to refuse the kindness.

Seeing his refusal, the student didn't say anything, just sneered: "Another self-righteous one."

Tang Jie didn't care too much, and went into the valley by himself after paying the two hundred spirit money.

After entering the valley, Tang Jie looked at the map and walked along the mountain road.

This Tiger Roaring Valley doesn't look big, but the space inside is not small. After walking for a while, Tang Jie saw no one around, patted his chest and said, "You can come out now."

A small head poked out from Tang Jie's arms, it was Yiyi.

After looking around for a while, she suddenly turned over and jumped on Tang Jie's shoulder, jumping her feet and shouting: "Oh, finally come out, come out!"

Then looking at the surrounding scenery, I exclaimed loudly: "Wow, it's so beautiful!"

The scenery of the Tiger Roaring Valley is really good. They are standing on a piece of grass at the moment, and some unnamed flowers are blooming not far away. There are various colors of red, green, pink, and purple, and they are colorful and beautiful. Farther away is a lush forest.

Occasionally, the mountain wind blows through the valley, bringing a buzzing sound; the flying birds pass through the loose sand, and there is a clear and crisp cry; there are even ray of sun in the forest, which oozes the fragrance of fresh grass.

Yiyi jumped off Tang Jie, running quickly on the grass with her bare feet, giggling from time to time.

For her, this is the first time she has come to such a big place without hiding herself, no wonder she is so happy. This made Tang Jie feel a little guilty. After all, he was not strong enough to let her appear in front of people. Like the three big demons of Xiyue, everyone knows that their bodies are treasures, and who dares to use them as materials to refine ?

In this world, strength alone cannot decide everything, but without power nothing can be decided!

"Brother, is this our new home?" He asked while running.

"Sorry, it's not here, we can only come here for six hours." Tang Jie replied.

"Really..." Hearing this, Yiyi pouted sadly.

"But if we can gain enough from this trip, we can come every day in the future."

"Really?" Yiyi became excited, and jumped back onto Tang Jie's shoulder: "Say, what shall we do?"

"Simple, find herbs and kill monsters." Tang Jie replied.

There are two types of resources in Tiger Roaring Valley, one is spiritual plants that can be used as medicine, and the other is valuable monsters. The former needs to be found, while the latter needs to be fought. Anyway, neither is so easy to get.

Hearing what Tang Jie said at this moment, Yiyi nodded her head: "Well, look at me!"

After closing his eyes, he took a deep breath.

The spirit of plants and trees is naturally sensitive to the breath of goblins and ghosts. Even if it is miles away, it can smell the unusual breath. After all, this is an important means for the creatures to avoid danger in the early days.

After a while, Yiyi pointed to the distance with her small hand: "There are Zhilan over there, water chestnut over there, and over there, over there and over there..."

Tang Jie was dazzled by her little hands, and could only say, "It takes two years to pick Zhilan."

"I can't smell it!" Yiyi replied dissatisfied, wrinkled her small nose and continued to sniff, and suddenly covered her nose with a yell: "It stinks, it stinks... There's a big snake over there, coming here!"

She pointed to the west side with her little hand.

"Big snake?" Tang Jie quickly picked up the map and looked at any creatures nearby, his face changed slightly: "It's a spotted snake!"

Spotted snake, a kind of monster in Tiger Roaring Valley, has colorful body, poisonous saliva, and likes to eat living things.

This thing is considered a bully in the Tiger Roaring Valley, and the students dare not mess with it easily, but they didn't expect Tang Jie to bump into it as soon as he entered the valley.

No need to ask, it must have been attracted by Yiyi.

The spirit of grass and trees is sensitive to the breath of monsters, but those monsters are equally sensitive to her breath. This kind of spiritual life is not only beneficial to humans, but also to monsters. Therefore, as soon as Yi Yi appeared, a spotted snake had already appeared. Immediately rushed over.

Although Tang Jie also knew that this might happen when he brought Yiyi here, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly and so urgently.

At this moment Tang Jie knew it was not good, and shouted: "Let's go!"

Grabbing Yiyi and stuffing it into his arms, he ran forward quickly.

Just a moment after rushing out, I saw a colorful big snake swimming over from afar.

The snake's feet were seven or eight meters long, and its body was as thick as a bucket. Its green eyes made people's scalp numb.

It spat out a long message and beat the air to catch the scent left in the air, then let out a long hiss, and chased after Tang Jie in the direction where he was escaping.

Running wildly all the way, Yiyi yelled in Tang Jie's arms: "It's still chasing!"

"It's really troublesome!" Tang Jie continued to run wildly all the way.

"Didn't you say that we came to kill monsters? Why did you run away?"

"Because the monster I planned to kill didn't include it!" Tang Jie answered angrily.

Tiger Roaring Valley is the most basic place for practical combat exercises for students. The reason why it is said to be safer than the outside is mainly because of three reasons.

One is that there is a teleportation jade card. If there is danger, the students can leave immediately through the teleportation card. This is the greatest guarantee for the safety of students, but if you leave early, you will miss the opportunity, and the academy will never let you re-enter unless you pay again.

The second is that all the monsters here have data, and there will be absolutely no monsters that are not in the data, and the students have never seen it. So the students knew very well which monsters they could deal with and which ones they couldn't.

The third is that there are no monsters above the psychic rank here, and there is only one top-rank, and the rest are all middle- and low-rank.

According to the division method of Qixia Realm, goblins and ghosts are generally divided into five levels: psychic, enlightenment, transformation, distraction, and return to the void, corresponding to the five realms of Taoists, and each level is divided into upper, middle and lower.

As for Yiyi, she hasn't entered yet.

Other than these three, the other situations are the same as the outside world. If you react too slowly and get eaten by monsters, you can only blame yourself for being incompetent.

And monsters are very different from students.

A student's realm belongs to his realm, and his strength belongs to his strength.

The state is like the level of the students, and the spell is like the skill. It is useless to have the level without the skills and equipment, so there are more practitioners whose real strength is lower than the level.

Monsters are different, their strength is directly related to their own realm, and they really have strength at any level. In particular, some monsters have extraordinary talents, and they are extremely powerful even in the psychic stage. In addition to their strength, their state improvement also contains factors of wisdom, and their development direction is very different from that of humans.

It is precisely because of this that there are many monsters whose strength exceeds the level of performance, even if it is a monster in the psychic stage, it is not surprising to overthrow a cultivator who has escaped from the mortal realm.

This spotted snake is a middle-grade monster in Tiger Roaring Valley.

Even if it is not a gifted existence, just such a grade means that its strength is comparable to that of an invincible student of the Linghu class - Tang Jie has not reached this point in Lingquan, so how dare he fight it.

At this moment, he ran wildly all the way, Tang Jie turned Yiyi back into a flower shape while running.

After changing back to the flower shape, the aura of Jingwu's whole body is restrained, and the scattered aura will be greatly reduced.

It's just that the spotted snake has already smelled it, so it won't give up so easily. No matter how introverted this spiritual energy is, there is always a little bit in the air. It followed the trail all the way, but it was stubborn and persistent, and on the contrary, it chased closer and closer.

"Damn it! It's really difficult!" Tang Jie saw that he couldn't get rid of the big snake, but was chased closer and closer by it, which caused him a headache for a while.

Although he has the jade card and will not be in danger of his life, he can't accept the fact that he was kicked out as soon as he entered the valley.

"What should I do now? What should I do?" Seeing that it was useless to change into the original form, the little guy poked his head out again.

This is good, the big snake chased even more fiercely.

"What can we do? Let's race against it." Tang Jie rolled his eyes helplessly.

When he thought of being chased and running wildly as soon as he entered the valley, he was also very depressed.

Hearing this, Yiyi burst into tears: "It's all my fault, it's all because of me... woo woo..."

She cried sadly, which made Tang Jie feel embarrassed, knowing that he had hurt the little girl's heart with his bad tone just now, so he could only touch her head and say, "It's not your fault, baby, a snake That's all, what can't be done to us?"

"But it's chasing us now..."

"Yes, I know." Tang Jie glanced back.

There was a lot of dust and smoke in the distance, and the big snake came rumbling all the way, with an astonishing momentum, and suddenly let out a hiss, the sound was so sharp that it almost pierced the eardrum.

Tang Jie snorted: "Don't you just want to eat? I'll make you full!"

As he spoke, he suddenly changed direction and rushed to the other side.

—————————————

On a piece of grass on the south side of Tiger Roaring Valley, a group of big-horned cows were pacing slowly, gnawing on the green grass on the ground.

Bighorn cattle are undoubtedly the lowest link in the biological chain of Qixia Realm. Apart from the sharp horns on the top of their heads, they have no other weapons.

Their only meaning in Tiger Roaring Valley is to become food for those monsters to ensure the normality of the food chain.

According to the rules of the academy, these non-active attacking creatures can be captured and brought out alive, but they cannot be killed directly. Occasionally, some students had nothing to gain in the valley, so they would catch one and sell it for ten spirit coins each, but only one was allowed at a time.

At this time, the bighorn herd was drinking by the stream.

A disobedient calf wanted to push forward, but was bumped by the grumpy bull, and hit his head directly. The calf yelped a few times in grievance on the ground, then got up and went back to its team honestly. It went back to the mother with aggrievedness, leaned against the cow a few times, looking for comfort.

Then something happened that it could never understand.

In the distance, a person is running towards here at full speed.

The man rushed close, and the calf saw his mother suddenly fly up...

"Moo..." The calf let out a terrified cry in its own way.

The herd is seething.

Grabbing another big-horned ox casually, Tang Jie ruthlessly threw it backwards. This big-horned ox weighed seven or eight hundred catties. Even Tang Jie's current physique would make it difficult to throw it. Phaseless golden body.

The big horned ox flew in the sky and landed towards the colorful giant snake. The big snake opened its mouth wide, its head suddenly widened, and swallowed the big horned ox in one gulp.

Although it came to eat Yiyi, since someone brought food to its mouth, it didn't mind having a regular meal by the way.

The cows ran in panic, while Tang Jie ran wildly after the cows, grabbed another cow and threw it behind.

He threw it at the snake's mouth, and the greedy nature made the snake not refuse anyone who came, and he swallowed another end, still chasing wildly.

"You have a good appetite... Let me see how many you can eat!" Tang Jie snorted, and threw two more cows over in a row.

The spotted snake swallowed continuously, swallowing four cows in a row. Even with its size, it began to become unbearably bloated. The forward swim was much slower and cumbersome.

"Chasing! You're going to chase again!" Tang Jie sneered, "Animals are animals, no matter how powerful they are, they can't change their nature."

Having said that, Tang Jie's forehead was also sweating.

Just now he was chased by the big snake even more, if not for the fast speed of Zidian Jump, he might have been forced out of the valley now.

At this time, the herd had already run far away, Tang Jie saw that the big snake was too full to move, and his heart moved, wondering if he could take this opportunity to kill it?

He tentatively took a few steps towards the big snake, and slowly approached it.

The big snake had eaten too much, and it was completely paralyzed on the ground and could not move.

Seeing that Tang Jie was getting closer and closer, suddenly the half-body of the spotted snake straightened up suddenly, opened its mouth wide at Tang Jie, and with a whistling sound, a large amount of venom was sprayed down.

Fortunately, Tang Jie was vigilant, and the Zidian Jumping Technique was still in operation, and quickly retreated. The venom rained down from in front of him and landed on the grass, and the grass withered immediately.

A drop of venom landed on Tang Jie's arm, corroding a large piece of his flesh and blood like strong acid.

Look at the big snake again, staring at him with its body upright, showing its fangs full of barbs and thorns, stretching its long letter, pointing directly at Tang Jie.

Obviously, even if this big guy is too full to move, he is not something he can deal with now.

Tang Jie pointed at the big snake unwillingly: "You are ruthless!"

Turned around and left.

"Hiss!" The spotted snake hissed angrily.

Obviously, neither side was very happy with the ending.
