"To be honest, I have been in the southwest for so many years, and I have never seen such an animal. It is not like a wolf, nor a tiger." Gu Qingqiao said.

Mu Xiyun looked up at him and wondered: "This is strange, could it be from somewhere else? Also, the animal glanced at the nursing home, and the man rolled around with his head in his arms, screaming that he had a headache. The owner of that room..." Mu Xiyun paused: "There are no scars on the body, but the breathing is weak and unconscious. It is very strange, it seems like... the soul is injured."

The two walked out of the darkness by the wall of the small courtyard, and a group of people had already surrounded the courtyard gate, and there were many discussions.

"What kind of beast ran in, it seems that I heard that it hurt Duan Family Dalang?"

"Yes, yes, I heard that Duan Dalang had an accident, and both Mr. Duan and Mrs. Duan fainted. Alas, at such an old age, he is such an only son. If something happens, how can the old people live!"

The two of them were too lazy to listen to these gossip and walked towards the inn on their own.

Suddenly I heard someone say: "Didn't that Dalang go to Baihua City some time ago? I heard that there was a plague over there, and he also got sick."

"Plague, will he get sick on us!"

Having said this, a group of people became frightened, immediately dispersed, and each fled back to their homes.

Mu Xiyun and Gu Qingqiao stopped.

The souls of those who returned from Hundred Flowers City were damaged, so there might be a connection.

"Go and see that fake tiger again?" Gu Qingqiao asked with raised eyebrows.

Chapter 96 Ferocious Beast

The two quietly returned to the small courtyard. At this moment, the chaos had turned into the room. The maids and servants went in and out, and they were busy carrying water and decocting medicine, but the courtyard was very quiet.

The cage for the "tiger" was placed in a corner of the courtyard, away from the main house. The yellow talisman was still attached to the animal's face, and the end of the talisman paper gently undulated with its breathing.

"Looking cute when you fell asleep," Mu Xiyun looked up at Gu Qingqiao: "Just like someone."

Gu Qingqiao smiled, stretched out his hand and embraced him and said, "I've never been good, I can't compare to our Mu Xianjun, especially..."

Mu Xiyuan bent his elbow and nudged him, turned his face to continue to look at the beast, but his ears turned red.

Seeing him like this, Gu Qingqiao stopped teasing him and observed it carefully for a while before saying, "Looking at the proportions of this animal, how does it feel like a cub?"

If there is a young beast, there must be an adult beast nearby. don't know why this little beast was left alone.

Mu Xiyun looked back at the busy house beside him, then glanced at Gu Qingqiao again, hesitant.

Gu Qingqiao grinned and said, "You want to use this cub as bait to lure its parents out, but you are afraid of endangering the family?"

"Well," Mu Xiyun pondered: "If that Dalang was really swallowed by the soul, then the power of this animal to eat the soul is probably very strong. This is just a small beast, and it will attract big beasts later, don't worry. If it is this family, even other people in the town may suffer!"

"That's not difficult," Gu Qingqiao said with a smile, "Brother help you get the cage away."

After saying that, he got up and lifted the iron cage, and jumped out of the courtyard wall.

The two did not dare to stop in the town, so they took the iron cage out of the town and came to a clearing in the woods.

Putting the iron cage in the center of the open space, Gu Qingqiao carefully tore off the yellow talisman attached to the forehead of the little "tiger".

It didn't take long for the little "tiger" to wake up and start wandering restlessly in the cage.

Gu Qingqiao stretched his arms around Mu Xiyuan's waist and jumped up to a nearby tree. Sitting steadily on the branch of the tree, he took out his sleeve pocket, took out a few pieces of snacks, and carefully fed them to Mu Xiyun's mouth.

Reflexively opening her mouth to take in the snacks, Mu Xiyuan was surprised: "Why do you still bring food?"

"Not only food, but also drink." Gu Qingqiao then took out a jug from the Qiankun bag.

The two of them sat on a tree branch, drinking snacks and drinking wine, very relaxed and comfortable.

After half an hour, Mu Xiyun suddenly paused and looked at Gu Qingqiao. Gu Qingqiao waved his hand and took back the food. The two of them each looked for a tree branch to stand, holding their breath and staring at the open space under the tree.

The bushes in the distance rustled and the bushes were violently separated. Not long after, a big "tiger" appeared in front of the two of them.

The beasts are tall and tall, with the same flat face, the same small eyes and big mouths, when all fours are on the ground, but this big "tiger" has a pair of feathered wings on its back.

When the little beast in the cage saw the big beast coming, it screamed, squeezed into the corner of the cage, and stretched out its claws to call.

The big beast came to the cage, touched the small beast's outstretched claws with its head, and licked the little beast's head. Then, it raised its giant claws and slapped the corner of the iron cage.

That's it!

Two figures were shot from the tree next to the clearing. Mu Xiyun unsheathed his long sword and slashed the front paw raised by the big beast; Gu Qingqiao shot with two knives, directly slicing the big beast's eyes and throat.

"Woo!" The big beast whined, and saw blood on its front paws and forehead at the same time. It took a step back, let out a roar, and sprinted forward, rushing towards Mu Xiyun.

The long sword in Mu Xiyun's hand was woven into a sword net, which was firmly guarded in front of his chest. He could only hear a few dings, and the beast's claws suddenly collided with the sword's edge, and sparks flew everywhere in the dark night.

Gu Qingqiao stepped forward, and the hilt of the short knife slapped the big beast's ears. The beast's ears are mostly the key points. If this is true, the big beast will be killed on the spot.

Seemingly feeling the crisis, the big beast twisted and rolled on the spot, and actually escaped from the two men's attack between the lightning and flint.

Another roar, this time it didn't attack, its small eyes fixed on Mu Xiyun.

Mu Xiyun only felt that there was a flash of light in his eyes, his mind suddenly dizzy, and his soul suddenly came out of his body, caught by the eyes of the big beast, and drifted towards it involuntarily.

Gu Qingqiao, who was standing beside him, saw that Mu Xiyun suddenly stopped moving, his face was pale and cold sweat broke out. Knowing that he must have been injured somewhere, he hurriedly threw a knife at the big beast and shouted: "Ayun!"

The knife headed towards the big beast's eyes, and the big beast shrank back and turned to force the blade.
