Chapter 170 Lion Rock Roar
After the meeting, Xia Guangyao followed Xia Guangchang and Xia Yuhua to Xia Qiu's side.
After carefully examining Xia Qiu's entire body, Xia Guangyao walked out of the room dejectedly, shaking his head helplessly at the two people outside. "Xia Qiu should be able to hold on until Yu Hui returns. Have you sent the message back?"
“Uncle Yao, after Xia Qiu’s accident, I immediately sent the news back. Actually, I felt from the beginning that the crimson lightning on Yu Hui’s body could dispel these ghostly energies.”
"Unfortunately, the distance is too far, and Xia Qiu's entire body has already been corrupted by ghost energy. Even if we had removed the ghost energy back then, it would have been useless. All we can do now is try our best to save his life."
"Alas, I know you have done your best, but fate is ultimately too difficult to change."
"Alright, I've just reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Although I don't need to change my cultivation method, I need to focus on studying the second-tier weapon-refining inheritance. I'll be entrusting the family affairs for the next few months to you," Xia Guangyao said earnestly to Xia Yuhua.
The cultivation technique he practiced happened to be one of the Xia family's foundation-building techniques, so after breaking through to the foundation-building stage, he did not need to change his cultivation technique like Xia Yuhui did.
"Don't worry, Uncle Yao. Now that the Xia family has two Foundation Establishment cultivators, Yang Kongtai and I, they are like pillars of strength, and we can easily suppress those two clans. If any emergency occurs, I will inform you in time."
"Yes, we must be wary of Yang Taikong. The fact that he has reached the Foundation Establishment stage is enough to prove that he is no ordinary person. We must not underestimate him in the future. I'm going into seclusion now. If you encounter any difficult problems, just come and tell me."
After saying this, Xia Guangyao left in a hurry like the wind. Now that he has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, it is time for him to find a second-tier cave dwelling on the mountaintop.
After Xia Guangyao left, Xia Yuhua and Xia Guangchang also walked away chatting and laughing.
.........
On the outskirts of northern Xinjiang, two months have passed since Xia Yuhui went into seclusion to heal his injuries, and the Hui people's deadline is only one month away.
After recovering from his injuries, Xia Yuhui realized that Akagi Yoshiten showed no signs of leaving the house, so he gave up the idea of killing him.
Five days ago, he came to the northern frontier again, and his purpose this time was to find a replacement.
In the last great battle, his mode of transportation was trampled to death by the Python King.
Since acquiring a means of transportation, Xia Yuhui has become particularly fond of this feeling, because his escape technique consumes his magical power like a bottomless pit, so having a means of transportation is truly beneficial.
To this day, Xia Yuhui has been searching for four days and four nights on the outskirts of northern Xinjiang, but has still not found a suitable option.
At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the second-tier fire fox he had given to Daoist Luoyun. If he had accepted that animal last time, he wouldn't be in such a predicament now.
However, the thought of the strong, pungent smell emanating from the fox sent chills down his spine, as if every hair on his body stood on end.
That disgusting smell lingered around his nose all day long, and he found it unbearable.
Xia Yuhui examined each of the demonic beasts within his divine sense range one by one, and couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly. Within a radius of a thousand miles, there were only a few second-tier demonic beasts, but these demonic beasts were simply not suitable as mounts.
At that moment, a thought suddenly came to mind: to venture deep into the northern frontier to explore. However, this thought vanished as quickly as lightning.
If one were to actually go there, it would undoubtedly be courting death.
It's likely that the python king is currently sleeping deep in the northern frontier. If he were to rush there now, the beast might mistakenly think he was going there specifically to detoxify it.
He was currently on the outskirts of the northern frontier, and unless the livestock deliberately searched for him, there was no way it would discover his whereabouts. However, once he ventured deeper, the situation would become unpredictable.
After much deliberation, Xia Yuhui finally decided to continue searching the surrounding area for another four or five days. If he still found nothing by then, he would have no choice but to return home.
Three days later, Xia Yuhui, as excited as an arrow released from a bow, sped off in one direction. A few hours earlier, he had suddenly sensed a powerful demonic beast, and after confirming its identity, he had given chase without hesitation.
However, the beast was as fast as the wind and as swift as lightning. Even when Xia Yuhui used his lightning escape technique with all his might, he could only gain a slight advantage.
This shows just how astonishing the speed of that monster was!
Thinking of this, Xia Yuhui's heart was filled with boundless joy, like a vast ocean. The beast was a Lion Rock Roar, whose cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the second rank. This kind of beast had a noble bloodline and could naturally enter the second rank after reaching adulthood. It could also briefly soar through the sky, making it one of the most suitable beasts to be used as a mount.
However, given its formidable strength and untamed nature, it will likely require considerable effort to subdue it.
There was still a difference in speed between the two, and after another incense stick's time, Xia Yuhui finally caught up with it.
At this moment, Lion Rock Roar was completely enveloped in terrifying flames, and its demonic power was so tangible that it was extremely terrifying.
Looking at the Lion Rock Roar that was staring intently at him, Xia Yuhui's lips curled up slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile. He thought to himself that this monster was not only extremely good-looking, but also incredibly powerful.
If one could capture it and use it as a mount, it would surely make others envious.
"Roar!"
Seeing that the human race had been chasing him for several hours without making a move, Lion Rock Roar finally couldn't suppress his inner anxiety and let out a deafening roar. Then, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, he charged straight up.
The roar of this monster was like a thunderbolt, deafening and so powerful that if Xia Yuhui hadn't been prepared, his ears would probably be ruined by now.
Of course, the roar has far more effects than that; it also has the effect of calming the soul. If some cultivators with fragile souls hear such a roar, they may lose their souls.
When these monsters hunt, they roar at their prey, and this method is always effective because the souls of monsters are often more fragile than those of humans.
However, for Xia Yuhui, the roar was like a gentle breeze, having no effect whatsoever.
At this moment, in order to tame it, Xia Yuhui did not use thunder magic or spiritual artifacts, but instead used magic to release a fire python, which directly knocked down the Lion Rock Roar.
Lion Rock Roar was a darling of fire. The fire python released by Xia Yuhui was like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of it, utterly vulnerable, and was torn to pieces by its brute force in no time.
However, Xia Yuhui had no intention of expecting this move to work. He had only tested the waters briefly and, after witnessing the strength of Lion Rock Roar, he charged forward with his bare hands without hesitation.
"Bang bang bang!" In an instant, a thrilling hand-to-hand combat broke out between the human and the demon in the forest.
Xia Yuhui's body is now as strong as if it were made of steel, indestructible. Ordinary demonic beasts that are not good at strength are simply chickens and dogs in front of him. To put it bluntly, he is now a powerful demonic beast in human form.
However, today he suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of this monster.
Although his physical strength was superior, the beast was engulfed in flames, and the two fought with brutal, hand-to-hand combat, which clearly put Xia Yuhui at a disadvantage.
"You wretched beast, Lei, come here!"
