Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 21 – Mountaineering

A shrill howl suddenly came from the shrubbery. A vicious beast rampaged through the forest, and many small trees were knocked over. The shaking shrubbery was like a straight line in the direction of the tree stumps where the wild boar’s nest was.

“Don’t run away with the purple striated pig!”

“There it is, quickly chase it!”

Seven to eight youths around Yang Junshan’s age came out from the valley behind the shrubs, and headed towardlace about twenty to thirty meters behind the purple striated pig while shouting and chasing after it. One of them was the one leading the pack, and as he ran, he brought along a ray of cyan colored light, pulling his comrade who was behind him down a few meters.

In Zhang Yueming’s hand, there was a ball of spiritual light. He threw the ball of spiritual light in mid-air, and suddenly, a pair of wings extended out from the ball of spiritual light. A lively and lifelike small bird of light chirped in mid-air, and streaked across the sky witay of spiritual light, before suddenly pecking the back of the rushing purple striated pig.

“These are magic talismans?”

Su Baozhang’s eyes flickered with astonishment as he asked in a low voice.

“Yes, it’s a magic talisman. Moreover, it’s a spiritual jade talisman that can be used repeatedly!”

When Su Baozhang heard this, he could not help but feel envy in his tone, and said: “Heaven-Shaken Sect, you should have paid more attention to him!”

This talisman was not made from ordinary talisman paper. The talisman paper carried the spiritual energy of the talisman maker as well as the talisman array. Once the talisman was activated, the power of the seal would be released through the talisman paper and the talisman paper would naturally turn to ash.

The former, on the other hand, used the spirit jade as a carrier, and the spirit jade itself contained a rich amount of spirit energy, and the material used was even more powerful than talisman paper. As long as the energy sealed did not exceed the burden of the spirit jade and was released, the spirit jade talisman could automatically or with the help of the owner’s spirit energy recover.

Of course, using it multiple times did not mean that it could be used limitlessly, at least the spirit jade talisman in Zhang Yueming’s hand was filled with cracks after being used multiple times, and would be broken into pieces at any time.

As for the purple striated pig, after it was pecked by the Spiritual Light Bird, fresh blood suddenly spurted out from its back. The Patterned Boar let ouainful howl, and its speed of running increased, perhaps because it was close to its lair. The Patterned Boar used the familiar terrain to run left and right in the shrubbery, and actually escaped from the sight of Zhang Yueming and the others.

However, there was no sound at all as they moved. The young men who were still in the bushes searching for the Striped Pig did not know that the purple striated pig had already left the shrubbery and was dashing towards the lair at the bottom of the hill.

There were at least five or six wounds that were about the same size as the one on Zhang Yueming’s back. Some of the wounds were still bleeding, and some of the wounds had already slowly healed.

Yang Junshan and Luo Hua City Mistress looked down from above, the tracks of the Patterned Boar naturally did not leave their line of sight, and although the Tattooed Boar was running further and further away from the shrubbery, it was getting slower and slower, to the point that the two of them could see that the Tattooed Boar’s breathing was getting more rapid, clearly showing that it was being chased by the youths until it was at the end of its strength.

This purple striated pig was about five feet long and its body could be considered huge. Its two large white fangs curved like two crescent moons, and its deep purple fur had circular cloud patterns on it. The deeper the cloud patterns were, the higher the quality of the Celestial Purple Cloud Skin.

Even so, the two of them did not dare make any unusual movements. Not to mention the fact that they were still quite a distance away from the Patterned Boar, there was a giant bear laying on the ground a few dozen feet away behind a small forest, causing the two of them to not dare to act rashly.

Furthermore, if what Yang Junshan said was not wrong, then there was a fierce beast hiding in the grass even closer to the Tattooed Pigs’ nest, waiting for the right opportunity to attack the Tattooed Boar.

He followed the familiar path, and the distance between him and the teenagers who were chasing after him grew further and further apart. Seeing his own nest right in front of him, the pig suddenly stopped its steps, and the inertia from its huge body caused a few holes to be dug in the ground.

A huge tree that was originally standing above their lair had been broken off, leaving only a wooden stake a few feet tall. Sensing the danger, the purple striated pig turned its head and was about to leave the trench at the bottom of the hill.

Roar!

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar suddenly exploded above the purple striated pig’s head. Not only did it instantly scare the purple striated pig to the point that it split its bones, even Yang Junshan and the other person who were hiding one and a half kilometers away were shaken by this roar.

Yang Junshan tried his best to stabilize his mind and look forward. In between the branches and leaves, a large and vigorous figure flew out, his gigantic white teeth gleamed with a cold light under the sunlight as it went straight for the Tattooed Pig’s neck.

The purple striated pig, who was intimidated by the loud roar finally responded in the moment of life and death. The purple cloud patterns slowly flowed on the Striped Pig’s body, as if it was alive, its originally stiff body suddenly jumped forward, and in the end, it dodged the bite of the huge beast.

“It’s a mountain tiger!”

The fur was white, yellow and black, making it difficult for one to discover any traces of it in the forest. Its body was almost ten feet long, with a long, patterned tail that looked like a steel whip, and three black lines on its huge and hideous face that formed the vague shape of a ‘King’. This was a beast that had successfully combined beauty and power.

The purple striated pig that was already at the end of its tether and knew that it could no longer escape, had instead activated its original ferocity and struck back at Banyan Mountain, who was considered to be the king of the entire area.

The purple cloud patterns on its fur shook again, this was an instinctive usage of the fierce beasts’ own innate spirit energy. The purple striated pig lowered its head, its curved fangs were like two daggers that aimed straight at the Mountain Tiger.

The Riding Mountain Tiger obviously didn’t expect the prey in front of it to be so fierce. When it saw the pig that was about to run into its stomach, the pig would only need to borrow the momentum from the impact to jump upwards. Even a mountain tiger would have its stomach ripped open by its two fangs!

The huge body of the mountain tiger suddenly jerked, dodging in the nick of time, followed by a shrill cry that pierced through the air, the left side of the purple striated pig’s face was as though it was struck by a heavy blow, and its body was badly mangled by the tiger’s tail, the direction of the tiger’s charge also changed in an instant, avoiding the vital parts of the mountain tiger’s chest, only leaving two wounds on its left hind leg.

It never thought that its original prey would still be able to make such a strong counterattack. The moment the Striped Pig opened up two bloody wounds on its hind legs, a front paw suddenly slapped onto the back of the Striped Pig, causing the thousand pound purple striated pig to tumble onto the ground.

The mountain tiger once again let out a loud roar and pounced towards the purple striated pig. The two beasts that saw each other’s blood became even more ferocious, and immediately rolled onto the ground, but the mountain tiger soon had the upper hand, the purple striated pig was also relying on its bloodthirsty instincts to do its last bit of resistance.

Intense sounds of footsteps and noises came from the nearby trees. Zhang Yueming and the rest of the youths, who had lost track of the purple striated pig, finally caught up to the roaring sounds of the two beasts fighting.

The appearance of the mountain tiger was beyond the expectations of these youths. Furthermore, its infamous name made everyone feel fear, and even fear could be seen on their faces.

Zhang Yueming tightly grasped onto something in his hands. Previously, his desire for the immortal spirit within the purple striated pig had already changed the moment he saw the Mountain Tiger, and instead of becoming afraid, he became even more excited!

With Tiger Riding Mountain, who would wanurple striated pig?

Of course, it would be better if he could get both of them. However, right now seemed to be the best time for both of them to do so.

“Brother Lin, what should we do?”

“Brother Ming, let’s back off. That’s a mountain tiger, we can’t beat it!”

They are all a bunch of weak and cowardly people, and only know how to cling onto the Heaven-Shaken Sect behind you. Did Heaven-Shaken Sect only look at people’s Innate Rankers when they accepted people?

However, even though he had backup plans, he was weak without the help of these people. At this time, he should still stabilize their minds and force them to muster up their courage again.

This is a golden opportunity for us to take care of these two berserk beasts together. Think about it, these are two high-rank fierce beasts, especially the spirit tiger bone that the mountain tiger is likely to give birth to. The quality of that bone is even better than the Violet Tattooed Pigskin!

After saying that, Zhang Yueming revealed the item in his hand, and patted the long sword at his waist, and said: Other than the spirit jade talisman from before, I also have a Firebird talisman. Although this talisman is made from talisman paper and only has one attack, it is enough to deal with the, and furthermore, I have the jade sword personally bestowed by the Heaven-Shaken Sect Immortal, although it is not worth the Firebird talisman, but it can be used multiple times.

Zhang Yueming paused for a moment, then threw out his last trump card: “Don’t forget that these two high rank beasts have the possibility of nurturing other immortal spirits. I, Zhang Yueming, only need the Violet Tattooed Pigskin and the Mountain Tiger Bone.
