Chapter 111: The Great Liang Nation, Tongtian Village!

  "Little Tiger, don't go!" The boy had just taken two steps when he was stopped by a female voice beside him.

  The girl was wearing a leopard-print tight dress, revealing her mischievous navel and lotus-like white thighs. A string of bells hung from her right hand, and her slightly curled hair was tied into several braids that fell behind her head. Her small face was shaped like a melon seed, with two round big eyes, and her chest was plump and full, already showing some curves. Among these people dressed in strange attire, she could be considered a pleasing sight to behold.

  Upon hearing the girl's warning, the little boy immediately stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at her with a puzzled expression. "Alan sister, what's wrong?"

  The girl looked at the young man beside her and said, "Zhuo Zhu Ge, this eagle is so big that it's probably a fourth-level demon beast."

  The young man also furrowed his brow, nodded very seriously, and it was clear that the eagle had not been knocked down by him. He picked up a stone and threw it directly at the eagle.

  "Bang!"

  The stone fell on the back of the eagle, and it immediately spread its wings. The eagle lay motionless on the ground, without any reaction at all.

  "It looks like it's dead!"

  The young man let out a sigh of relief. Among these people, he was the strongest, with the realm of Le Gong in the early stage, while the others only had the realm of Le Tong. Facing a four-stage demon beast that could compare to a musician's high-level realm, even if it was already heavily injured, as long as it could still move, it would be enough to pose a threat to them.

  Several people's eyes lit up at once, although they didn't understand why a fourth-stage demon beast would mysteriously die here. However, they all knew that a fourth-stage demon beast was a treasure trove, and its skin was an excellent material for refining equipment. Its blood, flesh, and internal organs were also highly nourishing, but most importantly, a demon beast that had reached the fourth stage might condense into a demon core, which would be extremely beneficial to cultivators' cultivation.

  A young man took a long spear from someone's hand behind him, and cautiously approached the huge corpse of the strange eagle not far away, his eyes full of vigilance.

  "Huh?"

  Just as the young man was less than five meters away from the eagle's corpse, he suddenly found that the eagle's left wing moved slightly, and his heart skipped a beat, hastily retreating.

  "Are you still alive?"

  The rest of them immediately took out their own weapons, staring intently at the demon eagle in front of them, carefully guarding against it. After all, this was a fourth-stage demon beast, and even a slight movement of its claws could be fatal to them.

  "Hiss!"

  The more the left wing of the demon eagle moved, the more violently the hearts of the young men and others beat. However, what made them feel unexpected was that a head suddenly parted the feathers on the body of the demon eagle and crawled out from under its left wing.

  "Huh?"

  Several people were stunned and stared blankly at the scene in front of them, completely unexpected that there was still someone left from the demon eagle.

  "Cough! Cough!"

  Xiao Yun struggled out, leaning on the demon eagle's body, covering his chest, and coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood. He had just fallen from the sky, and although the demon eagle had done its best to slow down the fall, the damage it brought to him was still not small. His internal organs were injured, and there were many abrasions on his body. The injury was very serious, but fortunately, he managed to temporarily save a life.

  Now, Xiao Yun feels that his body is not his own at all. All over his body, there is only one feeling, which is pain. At least two of his ribs are broken, and he is completely exhausted. Even breathing is a bit difficult. His hair is disheveled and dirty, looking utterly wretched.

  With great effort, she opened her eyes and saw five or six strangely dressed savages standing in front of her, causing Xiao Yun's pupils to shrink involuntarily.

  Zhuang Zhu first closed his mouth and quickly walked towards Xiao Yun, holding onto him with one hand, "Friend, did you kill this demonic eagle?"

  The astonishment between words was naturally revealed without any residue. It's obvious that the death of this demon eagle is absolutely related to the young man in front.

  "You, you, what kind of people are you?" Xiao Yun asked with a hand covering her chest, extremely exhausted and weak.

  "We are from Shantian Village, I'm Alan and he's Zhuozhu Brother..." Alan half-knelt in front of Xiao Yun, but before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yun had no response.

  Zhuang Zhu stretched out his hand and probed under Xiao Yun's nose tip, let out a breath, and said, "She just fainted?"

  "What to do, take him to the mountain stronghold?" Little Tiger's curious eyes sized up Xiao Yun's body, this was probably the first person he had seen dressed so strangely since he was born.

  Zhuang Zhu heard this and looked somewhat embarrassed, "No outsiders are allowed in the village."

  Xiao Landa said, "Zhuangzhu Ge, don't be so stubborn. This person can kill a fourth-stage demon beast, he must be a strong one. Let's take him back with us. If we leave him here, he will definitely die."

  "Alright, but if the leader blames me, you'll have to plead for mercy on my behalf."

  "Don't worry!" Xiao Lan was overjoyed and readily agreed.

  "Carry him on my back!"

  Zhuāng Zhù said, and several people hastily came to help, lifting the heavily injured and unconscious Xiao Yun onto Zhuāng Zhù's back. Zhuāng Zhù carried Xiao Yun on his back, turned around to glance at the corpse of the demonic eagle, and said to the people beside him, "Dà Niú, èr Niú, you two stay here and keep watch. Xiǎo Lán, Xiǎo Hǔ, let's head back to the village and call for help."

  "Hmm!"

  A few people responded, and Xiaolan and Xiaohu followed Zhuozhu out of the forest and walked down the mountain. The corpse of the demon eagle was too huge, and it wasn't something that a few people could bring back, so they had to go back to the village to find help.

  Two people were left standing in the woods, staring at the corpse of the demonic eagle, still shocked and speechless. That was a four-stage demon beast comparable to the Musician Realm, after all. Just this meat alone would be enough for everyone in the village to eat for a long time.

  ——

  "Goodbye, Elder Xiao! Until next life!"

  The sound echoed in his mind, Lin Chunyin's figure flashed by, Xiao Yun reached out to grab, but caught nothing, watching as Lin Chunyin fell into the sea of clouds, Xiao Yun was anxious beyond measure.

  "Lin Shi Mei!"

  A loud cry, Xiao Yun suddenly sat up from the bed, only to find that she had just had a dream, but this dream was real.

  As he recalled the moment when Lin Chuoyin fell from high altitude, Xiao Yun's heart felt as if it had been fiercely pinched by someone, unbearably aching, and if possible, he would rather this be just a dream.

  She glanced around and found herself in a somewhat dilapidated wooden house. The furnishings were simple, with only a cabinet and a chair inside. On the wall hung a bow and arrow and several animal hides. Outside, the scent of medicine wafted through the air. Xiaoyun lowered her head to look at herself, sitting on a wooden bed, wearing only an upper garment, with several strips of white cloth wrapped around her body, and bandages tied around her wounds. Perhaps it was because she had gotten up too quickly, stirring up her injuries, that her wound felt a bit painful and burning.

  "Huh? You're awake?"

  Just as Xiao Yun was puzzled and sizing up the surroundings, a girl wearing a tiger-skin short skirt walked in, holding a steaming ceramic bowl that gave off a strong medicinal smell from afar.

  "What is this place?" Xiao Yun asked weakly.

  "This is Tongtian Village, you've been unconscious for more than two days." The girl smiled and placed the bowl of medicine on the bedside cabinet.

  Xiao Yun sized up the girl in front of him, feeling that she seemed somewhat familiar. He vaguely remembered that when he fainted, the face he saw was probably this one. "Was it you who saved me?"

  "It just so happens that we were hunting in the mountains that day, and we ran into you by chance. We brought you back with us, and it was Gezhong who carried you back." The girl said.

  "Obstruction column?" Xiao Yun thought for a moment, it seemed that on that day there was indeed a man who asked himself questions, should be him?

  "By the way, I still don't know your name. Where are you from? How did you end up on Tongtian Mountain?" The girl asked a string of questions in one breath, which were also what she had been curious about for the past few days.

  Xiao Yun let out a few deep breaths and said, "My name is Xiao Yun. I am a disciple of the Tianyin Sect of Boya Mountain in Yunzhou. On my way back to the mountain, I was attacked by a demonic eagle, so..."

  When it came to this point, Xiao Yun paused for a moment, and he was somewhat afraid to recall what happened afterwards.

  The girl was slightly surprised, "Yunzhou? But it's Yunzhou of Xia Kingdom!"

  Xiao Yun nodded and suddenly looked up, "Where is this?"

  "This is Tongtian Village!" The girl replied immediately.

  "I'm asking, where is Tongtian Village located, which country and state does it belong to?" Xiao Yun asked urgently.

  The girl said, "Dà Liáng Guó, Qióng Zhōu!"
