After a simple discussion, they decided to have a retreat in this cave.
In the next few days, Xu Shaotang and Tantai Jingming devote themselves to meditation in the cave. Because Tantai Jingming's strength is weaker, Xu Shaotang's task of finding food in the forest falls to Xu Shaotang. Xu Shaotang is also familiar with this mountain forest when he is looking for food every day.
After a few days of meditation, Xu Shaotang finally affirmed that he had encountered a bottleneck.
He should be one step short of entering the list of immortals now, but it's this step, but it's difficult to cross over. After a few days of meditation, the strength of Tantai Jingming is steadily improving, but his own strength is not advancing properly. He knows in his heart that it's not only hard work to cross this step quickly, but also a certain opportunity Fate.
After discussing with Tantai Jingming, Xu Shaotang still decides to find stronger monsters to practice, hoping to cross the threshold in the process of fighting with those monsters.
A few days ago, he went to the East for nearly 200 Li and met the sixth level monster. This time, he wanted to try to go deeper, and it was better to meet the seventh level monster.
The distance of three hundred Li is not too far for Xu Shaotang, who is already the peak of the earth immortal. His body is walking rapidly through the Tianqiong mountains, leaving only a few shadows behind.
Only half an hour later, Xu Shaotang came to the place where he killed the sixth level monster a few days ago.
The trace of fighting with the sixth level monster is very obvious, but the corpse of the sixth level monster has disappeared, leaving only a large pool of blood on the ground.
"It seems that there should be high-level monsters around here!"
Obviously, the ghost tiger's body should have been swallowed by other monsters, and there were no bones left!
Xu Shaotang quickly looked around, and soon he found traces of monster activities not far away.
Along with the trace left by the monster, Xu Shaotang chased forward quickly.
When he came to a galloping waterfall, the trace on the ground disappeared completely.
At the bottom of the waterfall is a deep pool. Looking at the waterfall with a falling distance of 50-60 meters, Xu Shaotang feels the water splashing on his face from the waterfall. Finally, Xu Shaotang focuses his eyes on the deep pool below the waterfall. If he guesses correctly, the monster that devours the ghost tiger should be hidden in the deep pool.
Just as Xu Shaotang was about to go to the edge of the deep pool and try to draw the monster out of the deep pool, the light from the corner of his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a blue figure in the cave behind the waterfall.
Xu Shaotang heart suddenly a jump, hard to rub his eyes, and then a closer look, the body immediately began to gently back.
He didn't have eyes. There was a man in a blue robe sitting in the cave behind the waterfall!
Demon king!
Just for a moment, these two words are constantly hovering in Xu Shaotang's mind.
Can appear here, can also turn into human form, in addition to the demon king can be what?
Xu Shaotang originally thought that he would meet seven or even eight level monsters at most. With Nu Wa stone in his hand, he was not afraid of even eight level monsters, but he never thought that he would meet the demon king so soon! In the face of the demon king whose strength is comparable to that of Da Luo Jinxian, even if there is Nuwa stone, he has no chance of winning!
"Run away!"
A voice sounded in Xu Shaotang's mind. At the moment, there was only this voice in his mind!
It seems that the demon king has not found himself. If he returns to the forest quietly, he may have a chance to escape!
Just as Xu Shaotang quietly retreated to the forest, a flat voice suddenly rang out: "little doll, since it's here, why leave so soon?"
Found out!
Xu Shaotang heart a horizontal, immediately rapid retreat to the forest.
However, as soon as he retreated into the forest, the blue figure suddenly appeared in front of him. After a close look, it was an old man with white beard and hair. The old man's beard and hair were very messy. It should have been a long time since he took care of them.
His whole face looks very old, and the skin on his face is almost completely relaxed. If it wasn't for his tall and straight figure and unfathomable strength, maybe many people would regard him as a frail old man.
When Xu Shaotang was full of vigilance staring at the old man, the old man said with a smile: "little doll, what are you running for? Are you afraid that I will eat you? "
He doesn't say it's OK. Xu Shaotang is even more nervous when he says this. It's not unusual that monsters eat people. Humans hunt monsters, and monsters also hunt humans.
Seeing that the old man didn't attack him, Xu Shaotang calmed down a little and asked the old man tentatively, "is the old man the demon king of the mountains?"
"Demon king?"
Hearing Xu Shaotang's words, the old man was slightly stunned, and then said with a laugh: "I said, you doll, how can you run away when you see me? It turns out that you regard me as the demon king!"
"Er..." Xu Shaotang slightly a stagnation, "the elder is not the demon king?""If I'm the demon king, can you still talk to me here?" The old man laughed and said, "I found you when you hunted the ghost tiger a few days ago. I thought you didn't dare to go deep when you met the ghost tiger. I didn't expect you dare to go deep and found me here."
"Did you find me a few days ago?"
Xu Shaotang was slightly surprised. When he hunted the ghost tiger, he didn't notice that anyone was hiding in the dark. So, the strength of the old man should be far above himself!
Fairy? Or Da Luo Jinxian?
If the old man sneaks attack when he is fighting with the ghost tiger, I'm afraid he's already dead?
At the thought of this, Xu Shaotang's impression of the old man is much better. From the current situation, it seems that the old man is not hostile to him.
The old man nodded his head slightly and said, "you made so much noise when you were fighting with the ghost tiger. It's hard for me to find you or not!"
Thinking about the situation of fighting with the ghost tiger at that time, Xu Shaotang immediately embarrassed smile: "the movement is really big."
"How did you get here?" The old man looked at Xu Shaotang doubtfully and asked.
Xu Shaotang said bluntly: "the cultivation of the younger generation has encountered a bottleneck, so I want to find a high-level monster to fight, hoping to break through. When I pass by, I find that the ghost tiger's body is missing, and there are traces of other monster activities around. I follow the traces of the monster activities all the way here, hoping to have a good fight with the monster."
"I see!"
The old man showed a smile in his eyes and said, "in that case, do you want me to meet your wishes?"
"Ah?"
Xu Shaotang is secretly guessing the meaning of the old man's words when the old man suddenly catches Xu Shaotang and comes to the deep pool in a few ups and downs.
When Xu Shaotang was puzzled, the old man stamped his feet gently on the edge of the deep pool, and at the same time, he called out to the deep pool, "Xiao jiao'er, someone is going to challenge you, don't come out quickly!"
