It had been sunny for a long time, but that evening, the weather suddenly changed. Dark clouds gathered in large patches, and it was finally going to rain.
Li Shiyin was soaking in the tub. There was thunder outside, and she felt it was a pleasure to soak in the warm and comfortable medicinal bath. She was so comfortable that her toes relaxed, and she listened to the thunder as if she was listening to a very beautiful piece of music, and she hummed along.
The current medicinal soup no longer has the pungent smell of herbs. When the master was refining the medicinal soup, he added some herbs into it. The medicinal soup now smells fragrant. After soaking in it, your body will also smell good.
The bathtub had been modified by the master, providing a depression for the head and a cushion for the waist and back, so that she could sleep while taking a bath without having to worry about slipping into the water and drowning;
The room has also been set up with a heating array, so the water will not cool down over time, and taking a medicinal bath is just like taking a hot spring bath.
In short, taking this medicinal bath is a real pleasure for her.
The heat carries the medicinal power into the body, massaging the muscles and relieving the muscle soreness caused by digging in the lake during the day. At the same time, the medicinal power settles and is absorbed by the muscles, making the body stronger.
Sometimes Li Shiyin would wonder how much a bucket of medicinal soup like this would cost, but she couldn't even remember how many herbs Qin Ran used, let alone understand the value of the prescription. However, she was sure of one thing: this medicinal soup was very expensive.
I can only say that he is indeed a silly disciple.
The thunder outside gradually became quieter, and rain began to pour down. The rain came from far away, and at first it was just a few drops, but as time went by, it started to pour down like a heavy downpour.
The sound of rain came in from the window. After a while, Li Shiyin fell into a drowsy sleep in the hot medicinal bath.
But just as she fell into the dream...
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a loud thunder was heard outside the house, waking her up suddenly.
She opened her eyes and looked outside, just as a bolt of lightning struck, followed by a "cleft" sound. The fierce light pierced into the room through the closed window, making her eyes go white, as if the lightning was right in front of her.
"Huh..." She let out a light breath and patted her chest to calm down the shock in her heart.
"roar!"
Suddenly, another tiger roar was heard.
The tiger's roar calmed her soul, and this sound frightened her so much that she tensed up, and it took her a while to recover.
Heavy rain, late night, thunder, tiger roars...
Li Shiyin frowned, something seemed to have happened outside.
Thinking of this, she got out of the bathtub, dried her body, put on some clothes and went out to the corridor.
The night was dark and the rain was heavy. The darkness oppressed the light, and the light in the corridor struggled to protect the wooden house. But beyond that, nothing could be seen.
It was against this backdrop that Li Shiyin looked up and saw that in the distant sky, beneath the clouds, lightning split the darkness, illuminating two huge shadows that were facing each other.
The two shadows, one was in the shape of an ox, with a horn on its head that contained divine thunder, and lightning under its four hooves; the other was in the shape of a tiger, with its feet stepping on darkness, and it was looking up and roaring. It can be imagined that the tiger roar just now was made by it.
"This..." Li Shiyin's eyes widened, "A battle between demon kings?!"
"That ox is called the Thunder-controlling Unicorn, and that tiger should be the Mysterious Spirit Tiger." The master's gentle voice suddenly came from the side. Li Shiyin looked over and saw the master leaning against the door frame of his own room, with his arms folded across his chest, also looking over there. "The heavy rain tonight was caused by them."
The master really knows everything! Li Shiyin secretly praised and asked, "Why are they fighting?"
"Tiger and bull, why do you think they are fighting?" Qin Ran looked back at Li Shiyin. Seeing that his disciple was wearing a coat, his spring scenery was looming. He hurriedly looked into the distance, "Predators and prey... It's rare that they can fight in front of the human sect. Both of them are demon beasts above the Nascent Soul stage, they should know how to avoid human forces."
"Is the tiger going to eat the cow?" Li Shiyin's focus was different. She pointed at the relative positions of the two demon kings and said, "But why can't the tiger seem to beat the cow? Is it a defensive posture?"
"Who says a tiger can definitely beat a bull? The relationship between hunter and prey is never absolute." Qin Ran said, "Besides, the Thunder-controlling Unicorn feeds on lightning, can control lightning, and can use lightning. Look at its four hooves, aren't they stepping on lightning? And its horns can also shoot out divine lightning. How is it weaker than the Mysterious Nether Spirit Tiger?"
"Oh!" Li Shiyin nodded.
As they were talking, under the clouds, the Thunder-controlling Unicorn and the Mysterious Nether Spirit Tiger had already started fighting again. The tiger roared and the cow mooed continuously. The silhouette of the giant tiger was looming in the clouds, and the winding lightning flashed randomly...
This scene was really scary. Li Shiyin subconsciously blocked it with her hands in front of her body, but she still felt it was useless, so she leaned towards Qin Ran and couldn't help asking, "Master, they are not coming to attack us, are they?!"
“No!” Li Shiyin came closer, and the woman’s fragrance also came over. Qin Ran felt uncomfortable all over. He stared at the battle scene over there and shook his head, assuring, “It looks like they are close, but they are actually very far apart.
Besides, the Daojian Sect’s great elders are definitely keeping an eye on them, and there’s also the mountain protection formation…”
"Bitter fork!!"
However, before he could finish his words, a blinding flash of lightning suddenly appeared over there. It was the Thunder-controlling Unicorn using its horn to release divine thunder.
Then the Xuanming Spirit Tiger suddenly disappeared, and then the roar of the Xuanming Spirit Tiger and the scream of the Yulei Unicorn sounded together.
At the same time, a thin ray of lightning also struck from that side.
From the Thunder-Controlling Unicorn's use of its ultimate power, to the disappearance of the Mysterious Nether Spirit Tiger, to the Thunder-Controlling Unicorn's screams, to the lightning bolt that struck it, it all happened in a flash, almost at the same time.
Before Qin Ran could finish his words, the divine thunder was right in front of him. He couldn't help but curse in Chinese: "Fuck!"
At the same time, he formed seals with his hands and performed the water shield technique. A layer of water film spread out to protect him and the silly disciple beside him.
As soon as the water film was spread out, there was a snap, and the lightning struck the water shield. Then the water shield shattered, dispersing into water mist, dispersing the lightning as well.
This water shield is truly magical.
Qin Ran chose the path of alchemy and was determined to stick to it to the end. He practiced the art of escape and shield very well, which might be even better than alchemy.
This divine lightning, if it were an ordinary cultivator in the foundation-building stage, it would not be possible to defend against it...
Well, Qin Ran didn’t defend himself completely, and a little bit of lightning still missed and hit him.
This shocked him so much that he couldn't recover for a long time.
"Master? Master!" Li Shiyin shouted, and reached out to help Qin Ran again, but her hand was immediately numbed by the residual divine lightning on Qin Ran's body. She didn't dare to reach out again, and could only shout stupidly beside her.
Qin Ran slowly came back to his senses, still in shock, and replied: "I... I'm fine..."
He took two more deep breaths, then reached into his arms and pulled out a burnt amulet.
The trump card of survival is reduced by one.
"What an unexpected disaster!" he cursed, "I am so unlucky!"
"Master... Master!" At this time, Li Shiyin beside him suddenly said, "Well, it seems that it is not completely an unprovoked disaster..."
Qin Ran turned his head to see what his disciple was doing stupidly, only to see her pointing at somewhere downstairs. He looked in the direction where she was pointing and saw something glowing faintly on the open space over there.
He looked more closely and found that it was a little tiger the size of a kitten!
"Mysterious Nether Spirit Tiger... a cub?!!"
