"You are new here, so you may not have heard what happened before from Xiaosan... About ten people were captured at this checkpoint to serve these two beasts."
"Three people escaped, but they were all swallowed by the beast."
"Now, there are only you and me in this checkpoint, plus Xiao San, which makes three people in total."
The dark-skinned young man counted and felt that the number was not right: "There are ten in total. Three escaped. Now there are three left... Aren't there four left? Uncle Zhang, you are not very good at counting."
"Alas... I can't count? You are stupid, right? The other four were all eaten by those two beasts because the immortal came late once before and there was no meat in the cellar." The skinny middle-aged man was sweating on his forehead:
"They ran a mile or two away, but they couldn't escape the beast's nose."
"How else would I know that this beast would eat people when it was extremely hungry?"
"There's nothing we can do. If we stay here, we'll definitely die." The skinny young man, Xiao Chen, frowned.
"Let's call up Brother San and run in three directions to see who is lucky enough to survive... Where is Brother San?"
"He just went to feed another flying tiger. I remember he went to the east---"
Having said this, the thin and dark young man suddenly made a "hush" gesture, and then a rustling sound was heard from behind the woods in the east, coming from far away and approaching, which seemed to be footsteps.
"Brother Xiaosan is back?" the thin and dark young man asked tentatively.
No one answered.
A moment later, a huge black shadow walked out from behind the bushes. It was the second flying tiger with wings on its back.
"I thought there was a thief..." The skinny middle-aged man wiped the sweat off his forehead, but before he could finish his words, the dark and thin young man next to him patted him on the shoulder and pointed at the Flying Tiger.
Looking closely, I saw that there was some blood on the mouth of the flying tiger, and there was a small piece of cloth left on its claws.
"It seems like there are only two of us this time." The thin young man said in a low voice:
"Let's run to both sides and see who has the better luck----"
Before he finished speaking, the two three or four meter long flying tigers twitched their ears at the same time and looked towards the west together.
The thin and dark young man looked carefully and saw a little wild cat lying under the eaves of the western sentry post.
Although it is called a wild cat, this cat is a little different from ordinary wild cats. Its belly is almost touching the ground.
In this world today, people barely have enough food to eat, so where can you find such a fat wild cat
What's even more bizarre is that when the little wild cat was stared at by the two giant tigers, instead of running away, it walked closer with cat-like steps.
roar!
The two giant tigers roared at the same time, and their wings behind them suddenly spread out. The tigers' roars shook the mountains and forests, and they opened their bloody mouths. The rolling sound waves made the surrounding weeds fall to the ground.
The wild cat was walking forward carelessly, but after being roared at by the two giant tigers, it stood there in a daze for a moment. Then its body turned into a black shadow and suddenly pounced forward, with its claws pressing directly on the giant tiger's nose.
With a loud bang.
The giant tiger seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, and its chin hit the ground, leaving a shallow pit and splashing mud everywhere.
The fat cat put its paw on the giant tiger's head and actually pushed the tiger's head into the mud little by little until the tiger's roar stopped and its limbs stopped twitching.
"What the hell is this monster?"
The two thin and dark young men looked at each other and were about to take the opportunity to escape, but before they took two steps, they saw the other flying tiger spread its wings and rise high into the sky, flapping its wings and flying away into the distance.
This man-eating flying tiger was actually faster than them? And more decisive
At this moment, the wild cat that had slapped the giant tiger's head opened its mouth and whimpered towards the sky, but what came out of its mouth was not a meow, but a strange sound:
"Jojojojo..."
"Is this how a cat calls? What kind of cat-like monster is this?" The thin and dark young man was confused.
The next moment, there was another loud noise and the ground shook slightly, as if a heavy object had fallen to the ground.
Turn your head and look.
But then I saw a white-haired middle-aged man in his thirties, holding the giant tiger's tail with one hand and dragging the tiger backwards towards me.
The giant tiger whimpered helplessly at this moment, its limbs pressed against the ground but it was completely unable to resist the huge force, and could only leave a long scar on the ground.
"Qiao Qiao is here." Wildcat turned around and shouted at the person who came.
The skinny middle-aged man looked back in horror. Only then did he realize that this wild cat was not some monster that looked like a cat but made strange noises. It must be a giant monster that could speak human language.
"Alas. After teaching you for so long, you still can't speak clearly." The white-haired man walked forward, dragging the giant tiger with his hands, and the fat cat then jumped onto his shoulders.
“A giant monster that can talk... and this giant monster with white hair and transformed into a human form. They met two giant monsters at the same time?” The two dark-skinned young men looked at each other, feeling hopeless.
Just escaped from the tiger's den and entered the wolf's lair. My mentality is broken.
"Two locals? Just right." Qiao Mu saw the two standing there stupidly and walked towards them.
It is not known where in Southwest Province the villa purchased by Hai Wuya is located.
Although Hai Siyuan also knew the approximate location, which was said to be in the area north of Linhe Prefecture, it would take some time to actually find it. Having a guide would save some time.
But just as he walked towards the two of them, he saw the dark and thin young man kneeling down in front of him, muttering:
"Please spare my life, my king. I am skinny and not tasty and it hurts my teeth, but I am strong enough to clean up the shit. I am willing to clean up the shit for you for generations... No, I am willing to patrol the mountains for you."
Qiao Mu hissed.
The customs in Southwest Province are really different from those in Central Province and South Province..
... .
"So you were captured to serve this giant tiger... beast slaves? The others were eaten, and only you two are left?" Hai Siyuan asked with a frown.
When he came out of the Hundred Miles Desert, he already knew that the situation in Zhongzhou was in a state of deterioration.
Who would have thought that when I first arrived in Southwest Province, I would find that the situation there might not be as good as that in Central Province... .
A glimpse of the leopard in the cage can give us a rough idea.
"My lords, if you kill the giant tiger, I'm afraid you'll get into trouble." The dark-skinned young man cleared up the misunderstanding and reminded them:
"This is a spiritual beast raised by the immortals of the Yunxiao Sect. If it dies suddenly for no reason, the immortals will probably feel it and will rush here soon."
"Yeah." Qiao Mu didn't take it seriously, but looked at the two people in front of him:
"So, if you stay here, you will die... Do you know where Linhe City is, or where Taohua Villa is to the north of Linhe City?"
The two thin and dark young men looked at each other and nodded excitedly.
Linhe Prefecture City is not difficult to find. It is the largest prefecture city in Southwest Province.
Although they had never heard of Taohua Villa, it was not difficult to find it according to the map.
...
Southwest Province is mountainous, so the so-called Peach Blossom Villa, as the refuge chosen by Hai Wuya, is naturally quite remote.
It is not located in the densely populated area around the city, but in the mountains to the north of the city.
As the saying goes, when you are surrounded by mountains and rivers and think there is no way out, you will find another village when you turn around.
The mountains to the north of the city seemed to be so densely covered with vegetation that there was almost no way to go. But after walking along the winding mountain road, you suddenly see a peach blossom forest in front of you.
A mountain villa can be vaguely seen in the peach blossom forest. The villa is surrounded by peach trees on all sides. It is also a place with fresh grass and colorful fallen petals. The scenery is pleasant.
At the gate of the villa, one could vaguely see a burly black man waiting there. Upon seeing Qiao Mu, Hai Siyuan and others approaching, he came over with two spears in his hands.
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Qiao." Hai Siyuan saw the appearance of the person coming from afar, and his heart was already at ease:
"My father Hai Wuya once told me that this villa is usually guarded by his old friend's subordinates. I think this dark and strong man is---"
Before he finished speaking, Qiao Mu blurted out:
"Is this Zhang Kui? Is the old friend of Hai Wuya you mentioned named Wang Songhe?"
Qiao Mu had seen this dark and strong man before in Nanzhou. He was one of the bandits following Wang Songhe. He was dark and strong, and good at using two guns. When Qiao Mu was 42 years old, he had a simple sparring match with him.
"Mr. Qiao also knows?"
The dark and sturdy man Zhang Kui originally thought that it was some thief who was coming, but when he got closer and heard the conversation between the two parties, he naturally put down his guns and exchanged greetings.
"You are Qiao Jin? The Qiao Jin who killed Emperor Yonghe?"
Zhang Kui stared at Qiao Mu for several times and sighed slightly:
"In fact, I know that Qiao Sen brother. When I was in Nanzhou, I once practiced and exchanged moves with that Qiao Sen brother. You look even younger than Qiao Sen did back then."
Speaking of this, Zhang Kui's face showed a look of reminiscence:
"Thinking back then, I entered Yancheng with my brother Qiao Sen, and together we killed hundreds of Guo family guards and took the head of Yancheng Lord Guo Yan from the midst of thousands of soldiers. Thinking back on it, it seems like it was just yesterday."
The non-existent memories increased... I remember that you were clearly a supporting role... Qiao Mu naturally did not expose it on the spot.
"Back then, the Qiao family was only famous in Yancheng, but now they are famous all over the world, and Brother Qiao Jin has become a peerless master on par with the Martial Saint and Yan Shenji." Zhang Kui said with emotion:
"The Qiao family is still doing the same things as they did in Yancheng. Generation after generation of the Qiao family has risked their lives, but the world has changed a lot now."
It has actually only been a year or two since Yancheng.
Zhang Kui is still the same Zhang Kui, but he is more powerful than Qiao Mu remembered at the time. It seems that his martial arts level has been raised by one level, and that's all.
In the same real time, Qiao Mu has changed from Qiao Sen to the peerless master Qiao Jin.
"Wang Songhe, I heard that he is active in Nanzhou, why are you in Southwest Province?" Qiao Mu asked.
Although the two states are adjacent and not far apart, Qiao Mu remembered that Wang Songhe was the mayor of Yancheng.
Now that Zhang Kui appears here, does it mean that something unexpected has happened on Wang Songhe's side
I was delayed during the day, I will update tomorrow.
The upstairs is being renovated and the floor tiles are being replaced. Water has seeped down and dripped onto my floor.
The wooden floor of the room cannot be soaked in water, so I may have to replace the floor in the future... I spent the day on this trivial matter.
I can’t finish writing it tonight, and if I continue writing, I’ll have to write until 1 or 2 o’clock. I updated my leave application at the beginning of the month, so I’ll update it tomorrow.
Then yesterday's monthly ticket bounty was 2381 in total, divided by 300, rounded up to 8 updates, and the bounty owed was 16,000 words.
I will make up for it later since I have taken a day off today.

Chapter 282: Spear Master's Secret Manual (4k
A checkpoint not far from the Southwest State boundary marker.
A rainbow light appeared in the sky, and a disciple of the Yunxiao Sect fell to the ground with a frown on his brow.
This checkpoint was now deserted, the beast slaves had disappeared, and even the two flying tigers he had kept loose here had disappeared.
The disciple of Yunxiao Sect was skilled in the art of taming beasts, so he certainly had some sense about the sudden deaths of the two flying tigers.
He looked carefully at the shallow pit on the ground and the long indentation where the heavy object was dragged and the green grass was bent... .
"It seems that the perpetrator is a monster with great brute force. Even my two flying tigers have no power to resist... Hmm, there are also human footprints? Could it be a monster in human form?"
The Yunxiao Sect disciple quickly took off again and prepared to return to the sect.
The two flying tigers are very ferocious beasts to mortals, but to him they are just guard dogs that are kept at the border of the Southwest State for reconnaissance purposes.
If the flying tigers were alive, they could use their keen sense of smell to find the mortals who broke into the Southwest State from the border. With the power of two flying tigers, it would be more than enough to stop the mortal warriors.
If Feihu died, the whereabouts of the intruder could be determined through the traces of battle left at the time of his death.
After his judgment, the conclusion was obvious:
"A transformed monster has entered Southwest Province."
"We must report this to the sect."
“I don’t know if it will be the sect’s guardian or the Feather King who will take action this time.”
The so-called "big monsters" in people's minds actually refer to the strong ones among the monsters and monster beasts. They are powerful monsters that cannot be defeated by human power.
In the way of martial artists, the fourth level is the soft upper limit of internal strength, so even if one is a first-level spiritual martial artist, his internal strength has limited advantages over that of a fourth-level martial artist.
But it is not the case with the demon race.
During their heyday, the demon race was a powerful group that was capable of competing with immortal cultivators.
Although the monsters also become weaker as their spiritual energy declines, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Big monsters are known for their strong bodies, and their physical strength is far beyond that of ordinary people.
