Level 6 Demonic Beast

Seeing Gu Qingqing's actions, Rong Ye was stunned. He looked at Gu Qingqing with a gaze that even he did not notice. When he saw the words on the ground, he was stunned again and subconsciously read out, "Gu, Qingqing, Qingqing." He raised his head and looked at her. "Gu Qingqing, a very nice name."

Gu Qingqing liked her name very much. When she heard Rong Ye praise her name, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face. She thought to herself, 'This brother is not only good-looking, he also knows how to praise others. He is really a good person.'

When he saw Gu Qingqing smile, Rong Ye heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He was really afraid that Gu Qingqing would cry. His biggest headache was when a child cried, especially when it was a girl!

"Then, can I call you Qingqing?"

Gu Qingqing had a good impression of Rong Ye at this moment. She nodded her head when she heard his words. Ever since the old lady passed away, no one had ever called her "Qingqing".

"Qingqing, are you alone here?" Rong Ye felt much more relaxed when he saw that Gu Qingqing was not the kind of child who would cry when she was unhappy. He looked at the clothes on Gu Qingqing's body and realized that she did not look like a child from a rich family. If a person appeared alone in the mountain, they were probably an orphan, but he still wanted to confirm it.

Gu Qingqing nodded slightly and looked at Rong Ye with some confusion.

"Is there anyone else in your family?"

Gu Qingqing shook her head lightly.

"Then, are you willing to come with me?" Rong Ye stared at Gu Qingqing and asked softly.

With his current body full of injuries, it was not suitable for him to stay outside. He had to return to Hidden Spirit Mountain to recuperate as soon as possible. If it was someone else who saved him, he could have given them some spirit stones or magic treasures to repay the favor of saving his life. However, the person who saved him was the five-year-old Gu Qingqing... he could not do that. After thinking about it, bringing Gu Qingqing back to the sect was the best choice.

Hidden Spirit Mountain did not have much contact with the outside world to begin with. Furthermore, they each had their own mountain peaks and did not interfere with each other. If Gu Qingqing stayed at the top of his mountain peak, he could protect her. When she grew up later, if she had any wishes, he could fulfill them!

Gu Qingqing looked at Rong Ye in shock. Then, she took a step back and looked at Rong Ye warily.

Although she usually could not reject the requests of good-looking people, she had only just met him. Even if she had saved his life, she had never thought of leaving with Rong Ye!

Seeing her reaction, Rong Ye was stunned for a moment. He realized that he was a little anxious. Although Gu Qingqing was a child, she was able to live until now by herself. She was definitely not the kind of child who would casually leave with others. Otherwise, Gu Qingqing would have been taken away long ago. She would not still be here now.

He lowered his eyes and thought about it. He did not mention the matter of taking Gu Qingqing away again.

Just as he was about to take something else from his interspatial ring to give to Gu Qingqing, the ground suddenly shook. A powerful aura enveloped the cave they were in. Rong Ye and Gu Qingqing's expressions became a little ugly.

"It's a level six demonic beast!" Rong Ye stood up from the grass bed and walked to Gu Qingqing's side. "Don't be afraid, I will protect you!"

The expression on his face was not good. If he was at his peak, he would not be afraid of even a level eight demonic beast, let alone a level six demonic beast. However, his injuries were only half healed and the spiritual power in his body had not recovered yet. The talismans and the like on his body had also been used up due to the previous battle. This battle would most likely end in disaster!

A trace of fear flashed across Gu Qingqing's eyes when she heard about the rank six demonic beasts. Mount Shaoyun was only the outer perimeter of the Ten Thousand Li Mountains. The highest level of demonic beasts that appeared was usually rank three. For example, rank six demonic beasts were basically all in the inner perimeter of the Ten Thousand Li Mountains, and there were very few of them. Usually, they would not appear at a place like Mount Shaoyun.

A little girl like her would have to run away when she encountered a rank three demonic beast, let alone a rank six demonic beast!

Her little hand could not help but grab onto Rong Ye's sleeve, hiding behind Rong Ye in fear.

"Little Qingqing, let's go outside first." Rong Ye held Gu Qingqing's hand and ran outside the cave.

The tremors on the ground were still ongoing, and the roars of demonic beasts could be heard. There should be someone fighting with demonic beasts, and the sound was getting closer and closer to them. It was very obvious that the other party was advancing rapidly towards them.

Rong Ye was only injured, but his divine sense was still there. He released his divine sense and headed towards the source of the sound.

Five hundred meters away from where Rong Ye and Qingqing were, a three-meter-tall tiger with a long horn on its head was chasing four people.

This type of tiger was called the Lightning Silver Tiger, and it was the sixth grade demonic beast that Rong Ye had mentioned.

The four people it was chasing were a middle-aged man, two young men, and a young woman.

The young woman's shoulder was injured. She must have been caught by the tiger. Her wound was still bleeding, but she did not dare to heal herself. Instead, she continued to fight.

The middle-aged man, who was wearing a green short robe, should have the highest cultivation among the four of them. At this time, he was continuously casting spells to block the Lightning Silver Tiger's attack, trying to buy time for the other three to escape.

The other two young men, one in black and the other in blue, had decent cultivation among the young people, but there was still a gap between them and the Lightning Silver Tiger. At this time, they were more or less injured, and they were somewhat in a sorry state as they dodged the Lightning Silver Tiger's attack.

"Second martial uncle, we can't go on like this. We're already at the periphery of the Ten Thousand Li mountains. If the Lightning Silver Tiger leaves the mountain range, I'm afraid the people outside will suffer!" The young woman looked at a place not far away and frowned. While blocking the Lightning Silver Tiger's attack, she spoke to the middle-aged man next to her.

The middle-aged man took some time to look around and found that it was indeed as the young woman had said. He could not help but frown. "This Lightning Silver Tiger is too powerful. I'm afraid it's already close to the peak of the sixth rank. With the four of us, there's no way we can deal with it."

Hearing this, the young woman felt somewhat helpless.

Speaking of which, it was the four of them who were unlucky. Originally, they had planned to find a fifth rank vermillion flower within the Ten Thousand Li mountain range. They didn't expect to encounter a Lightning Silver Tiger that had gone mad. The second martial uncle with the highest cultivation among them was only at the sixth rank. As for her two senior brothers, they were also favored sons of heaven among the younger generation, but they were only at the peak of the fourth rank. The young woman was also only at the fourth rank. Such a group of people couldn't defeat a Lightning Silver Tiger that was still going mad despite being at the peak of the sixth rank... they could only be chased and beaten along the way.

It was not that they did not encounter other people along the way. It was just that after seeing the Lightning Silver Tiger, those people turned around and ran away. They were about to leave the range of the Ten Thousand Li mountains and let the Lightning Silver Tiger run outside. When that happened, it would not only be them... even the commoners outside would suffer!

While Rong Ye was using his spiritual sense to observe, the Lightning Silver Tiger was already getting closer and closer to the place where he and Gu Qingqing were at. Just like the four people, Rong Ye also knew that if they left, the commoners outside Mount Shaoyun would suffer. After all, demonic beasts at the peak of the sixth level were already top-notch existences on this continent. Moreover, looking at the Lightning Silver Tiger, it seemed to have already entered a state of madness. Those commoners with low cultivation, or even without cultivation, would only have a miserable end if they encountered the Lightning Silver Tiger!
