C27 Driving Tiger to Swallow Wolf
There was nowhere to look for the broken iron shoes, so it didn't take any effort to get them.
Qin Yuan hadn't thought that he would run into a Flaming Scorpion Tail Crocodile, but right now, encountering a magical beast wasn't a good thing at all!
The two of them were stuck in a dilemma between wolves and tigers. Regardless of whether it was the Fire Poison Scorpion's Tail Crocodile in front or the jackals chasing after them, Qin Yuan and Xiao Qi's current strength was insufficient to deal with them.
"If that's the case, then we can only force the tiger to devour the wolf!" Qin Yuan turned his head to look at the bloodthirsty jackals chasing after him. He immediately said to Xiao Qi, "Quick, disperse the aura!"
"Eh?" Xiao Qi didn't understand why they had to dissipate the Supreme Force in this situation. If the jackal wolf or the Scorpion-Tailed Flaming Scorpion Crocodile attacked them, wouldn't they have no chance of fighting back? However, she knew that Qin Yuan would absolutely not harm her, and before she could even think straight, she subconsciously dispersed the Supreme Force.
Qin Yuan looked at the Fire Poison Scorpion Tail Crocodile, which had yet to see the two of them, and then looked at the jackal which was only twenty meters away. He bent down and picked up a stone, mustering all his strength to throw it at the Fire Poison Scorpion.
In the instant that Shi Ziteng made his move, Qin Yuan retracted all of the astral energy within his body.
Right now, Qin Yuan's stone with his full strength was stronger than the Purple Eyed Monkey King from before. However, it was still not possible for him to injure the Flame Poison Scorpion's Tail Crocodile with just a normal stone. The stone struck the Scorpion Tail Alligator's hard scales, producing a "clang" sound. The Scorpion Tail Alligator felt a slight pain and turned its head to see Qin Yuan and Xiao Qi, as well as the distant jackals emitting a bloody aura.
A Class 1 Magical Beast's intelligence was almost the same as an ordinary animal, but its basic ability to judge danger was still quite strong.
When the Scorpion Tail Crocodile saw the three humans, its first reaction was: one was a Six Star Warrior who was radiating killing intent, and the other two were "weaklings" who were not subject to the fluctuations of the astral energy. It instinctively felt that the jackal was more likely to be the one who had ambushed it with rocks, a threat that needed to be eliminated first. It flung its scorpion tail, and its seemingly clumsy body unexpectedly moved at high speed, carrying a cloud of dust with it.
"So fast!"
Qin Yuan's pupils constricted. Although he had been prepared for the power of the Scorpion Tail Alligator, he had not expected that even the speed it was least adept at was faster than a Six Star Warrior's jackal.
In the blink of an eye, the Scorpion Tail Alligator passed by Qin Yuan and Xiao Qi. Although it didn't put the two of them in its eyes, they were, after all, intruders to its territory. As a result, it swept its thick scorpion tail horizontally, sweeping it towards Qin Yuan and Little Seven.
The Scorpion-Tailed Flame Crocodile's strength was at the peak of rank one six stars, and it was also the overlord of the same realm as the crocodile. Ordinary early stage Seven Star Warriors were not even its match, and a single flick of its tail was not something a four or five-star warrior could withstand.
The moment the scorpion's tail swiped towards him, Qin Yuan grabbed Xiao Qi and twisted his body. He blocked the attack with all his strength and forcibly swept away the tail attack.
Qin Yuan seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking as his body flew out horizontally, followed by a heart-wrenching pain and the sweet taste of his throat. Qin Yuan seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking, and his body flew horizontally.
Just a casual strike had caused serious injuries to Qin Yuan!
The Scorpion Tail Crocodile had also detected the gale that suddenly emerged from Qin Yuan, but it had already charged a few meters away. There was no need to stop and chase after the two weaklings, it directly pounced towards the stunned jackal.
"Flaming Scorpion Tail Crocodile?" As if it had eaten a fly, the ruthlessness on the face of the jackal retreated like the tide, and was replaced with gloominess: "This brat actually lured me to the Fire Poison Scorpion's Tail Crocodile's nest! "F * ck his grandmother, what on earth is this kid's brain made of? It's all weird ideas!"
Although the jackal wolf was a six star warrior and had rich battle experience, it was still not enough to compete with the fire scorpion tail crocodile.
Not caring about whether Qin Yuan would die, the jackal wolf braced itself and fought the Flaming Scorpion Tail Crocodile, gradually falling into a disadvantageous position.
Its speed was inferior to the Fire Poison Scorpion's Tail Crocodile, and it was weaker as well. It could not fight nor run, and the more it fought, the more aggrieved it became. It had no other choice but to fight it to the death.
On the other side, Xiao Qi, who was protected by Qin Yuan felt a warm feeling on her head. She reached out her hand to touch it and a sticky, fishy smell told her that it was Qin Yuan's blood.
Breaking free from Qin Yuan's embrace, Xiao Qi was afraid that she would alert the berserk jackals and the Scorpion-Tailed Flame Crocodiles. She turned around to check on Qin Yuan's condition and found that he had fainted.
"Yuan Qing!" "Yuan Qing!"
He called out softly a few times, but Qin Yuan did not react. When he saw the jackal wolf and the fire scorpion tail crocodile in the middle of their battle, all Xiao Qi could think of was to quietly drag Qin Yuan away from the battlefield.
It was unknown whether it was because the jackal wolf and the fire scorpion tail crocodile did not notice Xiao Qi leaving with Qin Yuan or because of the intense battle. In the end, Xiao Qi successfully dragged Qin Yuan several miles away from the battlefield and hid in its cave after killing a rank 1 four-star demon beast.
Only now did Xiao Qi get the chance to examine Qin Yuan's injuries.
After ripping apart Qin Yuan's martial artist uniform, the position on his back where he was hit by the Scorpion Tail Alligator was shocking. The helpless Xiao Qi immediately covered her mouth, tears rolling down her face.
"Yuan Qing!" Yuan Qing, you better not die! " Xiao Qi wiped her tears with the back of her hand and hurriedly took out a few bottles of pills from her bosom. "Why do you always save me? I have yet to repay you for saving my life, you can't die! "
For an entire day and night, Xiao Qi stayed by Qin Yuan's side, not moving an inch away from him. Even when his breathing became slightly more vigorous, she was still unwilling to rest.
Without Qin Yuan's suggestion, Xiao Qi felt that she had become more and more reliant on him these past few days.
Three days later, when Qin Yuan's injuries had completely stabilized, Xiao Qi felt reassured and took out the cave to replenish some water.
On the evening of the fifth day, when Little Seven was changing the medicine for Qin Yuan, the astral energy with electric snakes suddenly surged from his body. After a series of crackling sounds, his aura began to climb continuously.
"Is it about to level up?" Xiao Qi was overjoyed, but then immediately became worried.
For the past five days, the jackals hadn't been able to find them, but Xiao Qi couldn't be sure that the jackals were no longer nearby. If the jackal was still here, the aura Qin Yuan emitted when he advanced would be his guiding light!
With the current situation, Xiao Qi could not move Qin Yuan, or else there was the risk of her cultivation going berserk. She could only pray that the wolf had already left and would not discover them.
Just like that, an hour passed. Xiao Qi was pleasantly surprised to see Qin Yuan's aura gradually disappear and the astral energy returned to his body.
At this moment, he had already advanced to a 5-star warrior!
"Water …"
Xiao Qi's delicate body trembled, and then her face lit up. She quickly took the kettle, held it up with one hand, and put it next to Qin Yuan's mouth.
A moist feeling gushed into his mouth as Qin Yuan greedily drank some water. After a long while, he finally felt satisfied and slowly opened his eyes.
"Little Seven," Qin Yuan forced a smile. "Why are you wearing a pair of panda eyes?"
"Panda? What is a panda? " This was the first time Xiao Qi heard this noun, and she asked with doubt.
Qin Yuan weakly shook his head. With great difficulty, he extended a finger and pointed at Xiao Qi's dark circles under her eyes. "How long have I been unconscious for?"
"Five days."
In the past five days, Xiao Qi had not slept a wink. Other than going out to replenish fresh water, she was practically focused on Qin Yuan. Whenever he made the slightest movement, she would anxiously move closer to check.
Even for a 5-star warrior, five days without rest was not an easy task. Moreover, one look at Xiao Qi was enough to tell that she had never experienced any hardships since she was young. Although Qin Yuan didn't say it, his heart was full of emotions.
"Silly girl." Qin Yuan powerlessly smacked Xiao Qi on the forehead.
"You're the fool. Why are you risking your life to protect me?"
"If I were to tell you that I am doing this to temper my body, would you believe me?"
"Indecent!"
