Chapter 55: A tug-of-war

After resting for three days, Tang Zheng entered the Tiger Roaring Valley again.

This time, he was much more familiar with the situation in the valley, and there was no more such thing as being chased by the spotted snake before.

The day passed quickly, looking at today's harvest, there was still a little surplus after deducting the loan and rent, Tang Zheng did not continue to hunt, but walked towards the Tiger Roaring Peak again.

Standing in front of the stone monument, the tiger had reappeared on the top of the mountain.

It still looked at Tang Zheng coldly, and the word Wang on its forehead was wrinkled.

Tang Zheng smiled.

Then he continued his steps.

Step on that blood-colored slate.

One-step!

Two steps!

Three steps!

After walking ten steps, Tang Zheng stopped.

The demon tiger didn't attack, just looked at him.

Tang Zheng continued to move forward.

He took another step forward, then stopped.

Call!

The wind is up!

Tiger pounce!

Tang Zheng ran the purple lightning and swept through it like lightning.

The tiger's roar shook again, but this time it only made Tang Zheng's heart tremble slightly, but it failed to stop his exercises.

The tiger's claws slammed down on the red slate, kicking up a cloud of dust and smoke.

The dust and smoke dissipated, and Tang Zheng stood outside the boundary, a trace of blood flowing from his arm.

It was the air blade that had been activated as it pounced, hiding in the storm and cutting him.

Broken slabs are automatically bridged.

The demon tiger took a few steps back, let out a low warning howl, and turned away.

Tang Zheng stepped in again, and the demon tiger glanced back at him, but ignored it.

"Brother ......" lying on Tang Zheng's shoulder, Yiyi whispered.

The last time Tang Zheng provoked the demon tiger, she fell asleep and didn't see it.

But this time, she could see clearly that the demon tiger was as powerful as lightning, powerful and ferocious, and it was not at all something that the current Tang Tribulation could resist.

"Yi Yi is not afraid. Tang Zheng patted Yiyi: "Do you remember how my brother explained to you before I came?"

"Yes!" Iyi nodded earnestly.

"Then do it. ”

"But I'm afraid ......"

"Don't be afraid, Yiyi, it's not interested in you!" Tang Zheng said lightly.

Yi Yi tilted her head, she didn't understand why the demon tiger was not interested in her.

As a rare spirit that always maintains a high spirituality, she is the best tonic in the eyes of all demon beasts.

Tang Zheng smiled and said, "Because it only has me in its eyes...... It hates humans. ”

He just looked at the demon tiger like that, and looked at it with all his eyes.

Yi Yi slid off Tang Zheng's body and flashed into the grass next to her, and the demon tiger really didn't even look at her.

They were at a stalemate.

After a long time, Yi Yi reappeared beside Tang Zai, leaned into Tang Zao's ear and said, "It's done." ”

Tang Zheng took out a piece of wolf meat and put it on the ground, and then shouted to the tiger: "I will come to see you next time, I hope you can be polite." I don't have a killing heart for you, I just want to talk to you...... I know that you can understand what I say, you are different from them, you have wisdom!"

"Roar!" he was responded to by the angry roar of the demon tiger.

Tang Zheng shook his head, and then withdrew from the boundary monument.

————————————

From this day on, Tang Zheng officially started the Tiger Roaring Valley money-making plan.

Facts have proved that even with Tang Zheng's current strength, if he wants to be at ease in Tiger Roaring Valley, it is extremely difficult to maintain long-term returns.

First of all, there are all kinds of unpredictable risks, and not every time Tang Tribulation can be turned into a disaster. Io's presence allows him to find things that others can't find faster, but it also makes it easier for monsters to notice him.

The third time he entered the valley, Tang Zheng was very unlucky to encounter a dire lizard and was chased and killed by it for a whole day. Although this guy can't catch up with Tang Zheng because of his slow movements, his patience is excellent, and he never lets go of Tang Zheng, and he has a keen sense of smell, so he can catch up wherever he runs.

As a result, Tang Zheng didn't even kill a single demon beast, and often had to flee halfway through the fight because of the intervention of the dire lizard.

On this day, he became the Waterloo of the Tang Tribulation, and directly lost more than 100 yuan, and only made up for it by picking some herbs.

In desperation, he could only find Shumingyang and others to borrow money again, and entered the valley four times.

This time he was lucky and made some money back.

It's a pity that the fifth time he entered the valley, he was chased by the demon beast again, but this time it was a group of fierce wolves chasing him to the death, forcing Tang Zheng to teleport away. Finally, before that, Tang Zheng had already gained part of his harvest and barely kept his capital.

In addition, there was an unexpected problem that greatly reduced Tang Zheng's income.

That is the problem of the number of demon beasts and spirit plants in the valley.

The rate of reproduction can never match the killing!

No matter what protection measures Tiger Roaring Valley takes, the fact is that the output of Tiger Roaring Valley itself alone is far from enough for the students to use in their trials.

Because of this, every once in a while, the Moon Washing Academy would send people outside to capture a batch of demon beasts, collect some spirit plants and put them in the valley.

This is also a long-term task for the disciples of the Moon Washing Sect.

However, supplementation cannot be done every day, usually once every three months.

If the students enter frequently during this period and hunt more demon beasts, the demon beasts in the valley will decrease.

Due to the relationship of strength, the reduction is generally made of demon beasts with lower strength and spirit plants that are easier to find and pick, and the rest are often extremely difficult to deal with.

Therefore, Tiger Roaring Valley also has a high and low production period.

When encountering a low yield period, even Tang Zheng can only work hard to preserve the capital.

It's no wonder that risk is directly proportional to profit.

The safety and security of Tiger Roaring Valley reduces risk, the barrier to entry increases the cost of entry, and the nature of the investment reduces the expected return - you never have to expect the Moon Washing Sect to put a peerless fairy grass in Tiger Roaring Valley.

Nothing more than a hundred!

But Tang Zheng still insisted on entering here every day.

The days of the adventure into the valley went on day after day.

A month passed quickly.

In this month, excluding the rent to be paid, although Tang Zheng had an income, the surplus was far less than expected, and the income in a month was only three hundred yuan.

Speaking of which, three hundred dollars is a lot, but the problem is that these three hundred dollars were exchanged for him by stopping his cultivation during the day.

Taking Pei Yuan Dan as an example, a bottle of Pei Yuan Dan of 1,200 yuan can only bring a 40 to 60 days of progress improvement for students, and stop cultivating for 300 days in exchange for 300 spirit money, so it is actually just an empty job.

Because of this, many people ridiculed Tang Zheng's gambling addiction, self-righteousness, and wasted time in Tiger Roaring Valley.

With this energy, I have to fight a few times in the training field, and compete for a ranking on the list, and the cost performance is higher than going to Tiger Roaring Valley.

Even the book name Yang, Cai Junyang and others persuaded him several times.

Tang Zheng still insisted on his actions.

And at the end of every hunt, as long as he is not driven out, he will go to Tiger Roaring Peak.

At first, the demon tiger was wary of him.

Every time Tang Tribulation came, it would appear as soon as possible and try to kill Tang Tribulation.

But the truth is that it is getting farther and farther away from killing Tang Zheng.

As the contact time grew, Tang Zheng became more and more aware of this demon tiger, and knew what its abilities were.

As a psychic demon beast, this tiger has four talent spells.

One is the Wind Longitudinal Technique to chase and kill him, which is similar to the Purple Electric Longitudinal Technique, and the speed of short-range running is extremely fast, which is not conducive to long-term battles.

The second is the ground thorn spell, which can control the land to generate ground thorns to attack the target, although the power is average, it is a large-area damage spell, and it is also the least threat to the Tang Tribulation.

The third type is the tiger's roar, which has a terrifying power and can even destroy spellcasting.

The fourth is that it can send out an air blade to attack the opponent remotely, the power of this air blade is strong, even if Tang Zheng launches a phaseless golden body and a condensation cover to resist, it will also suffer a lot of damage.

Its true strength lies in its terrifying strength of itself, its claws that can easily tear through anything in front of it, its teeth sharper and harder than those of high-grade magicals, its tiger tail like a whip, and its broken gold and jade.

Its spells may only be equivalent to the Spirit Spring Rank, but its body is definitely comparable to the Transcendent Realm level physical cultivation.

And Tang Zheng suspected that it might have a fifth spell.

This demon tiger is obviously a talent of the terroir and the terroir, and the tiger roar belongs to the amount of bloodline power, which can be ignored. The wind system is good at speed, so its wind vertical is extremely fast, it is the first of all arts, and the earth system is good at resisting, so what it has not used is probably some kind of spell similar to rock armor, but Tang Zheng has not been able to force it to use it, so he has no chance to see it.

The deeper he understood, the more difficult it was for the demon tiger to kill Tang Zheng.

From the heavy injury to Tang Tribulation when it first shot, to the second light injury, and then later, it couldn't even hurt Tang Tribulation.

The tiger found that he couldn't kill the other party, so he didn't bother with Tang Zheng.

The scope of Tang Tribulation's entry expanded at this time.

The demon tiger pursued again.

Still reactive, give up again.

In this way, the area of activity of Tang Tribulation continued to expand in a cycle of pursuit, abandonment, pursuit, and abandonment.

From 10 steps to 18 steps.

Every time Tang Zheng left, he would put some food there.

But the demon tiger never ate it.

After a long time, the demon tiger simply ignored Tang Zao, even if Tang Zao took twenty or thirty steps, he didn't arrest him, it seemed that he had acquiesced to Tang Zao's right to exist here.

It's a pity that no matter how Tang Zheng shouted, the demon tiger just ignored Tang Zheng, as if he couldn't understand what he said at all.

So Tang Zheng didn't continue to move forward, but took twenty steps as the safety limit and never left this circle.

One person and one tiger are in such a stalemate, Tang Zheng still enters and exits this Tiger Roar Peak every day, as if entering his own courtyard door, and both sides seem to have gradually adapted to each other's existence......

Today, Tang Zheng came to the Tiger Roaring Peak again, and the demon tiger was still lazily lying on the big stone on the peak, without looking at Tang Zheng.

Let Yi Yi continue to do her business, Tang Zheng stood in his activity area and walked casually.

As he walked, he suddenly saw a small red flower behind a stone not far away, and a red fruit on it, which looked the size of a pomegranate.

"Red berries?" Tang Zheng whispered.

The fruit in front of him is clearly a fire-type spirit fruit red berry, and it has entered the full ripening stage.

Red berries are not too rare among spirit fruits, and their nature is fire, whether it is used for cultivation or medicine, it has a certain value.

However, red berries have a long ripening period and often take several years to actually ripen. Cultivators are usually not interested in waiting for such a long time, after all, no one can enclose the land here, and it is often picked at the beginning of its growth, so red berries are common in the Tiger Roaring Valley, but those that ripen to such an extent are extremely rare.

The red berry in front of Tang Zheng was fully ripe, and its value was much higher than that of ordinary red berries, and if it could be picked, it could be sold for at least one hundred and fifty yuan.

Tang Zheng immediately understood that this was also the place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was beautiful, and most of the Moon Washing Academy had also sprinkled spirit seeds on the peak. However, due to the Demon Tiger's guard, not all students can come up to Tiger Roar Peak, so there are many good things here that have not been picked, and this red berry is obviously preserved to this day because of the Demon Tiger.

The fruit was not far from him, three steps outside the safe zone he had set for himself.

At this moment, the demon tiger did not move, the red berry was close in front of him, Tang Zheng's eyes flashed, and he rushed towards the red berry suddenly.

The moment he rushed out of the area.

The tiger roars!

The demon tiger had suddenly risen and pounced downward, like thunder!

However, just as it pounced, Tang Zheng suddenly stopped.

He forcibly stopped his forward rush and turned around and ran towards the boundary monument.

Rumble!

Tiger Claw Strikes Miss.

At the same time, Tang Zheng had already quickly run to the boundary monument, and Yi Yi's figure quickly appeared, holding Tang Zheng tightly, looking at the demon tiger nervously.

"Roar!" The demon tiger that slammed into the air with a blow looked very angry, and roared at Tang Zheng again.

Tang Zheng just smiled.

At this time, he was already standing on the line, and said lightly: "Don't wonder how I can be guarded, I said that I know that you are pretending to be stupid." ”

The demon tiger stomped on Tang Zheng fiercely.

"I just wanted to talk to you...... It's a pity that your hatred for humans is too deep, and it seems that if you don't defeat you, you won't talk to me. Oh well, I'll come and beat you. Hopefully you'll be calmer then. Saying that, Tang Zheng had turned around and left.

PS: Say three things.

First things first: Tomorrow will be the official start of the event, and all friends who tip will have the opportunity to win prizes from the reader's Crest of God. The list is provided by me at the end of the month (I have a background record here), and the reward rules are detailed in the relevant instructions.

The second thing: about depositing manuscripts. The manuscript must be kept for about 15 days, with two chapters per day, 30 chapters, and 100,000 words. Some time ago, no matter the high and low, it was a two-more rhythm, which caused the manuscript to drop by more than half. Now I'm in a hurry. But in fact, there will be highs and lows in the process of rushing the manuscript, and there will also be temporary additions, etc., so it will take a few days before the fifteen-day manuscript is actually completed. When I finish depositing the manuscript, I will do it at the standard codeword speed. Oh, there will be a double shift tomorrow.

By the way, a little secret.

In fact, it is very simple to know whether the state of the fate of the road is good or not.

It's not that I'm more or less that day, it's that I'm not active these days. The more active I am, the more undisciplined I am, the better my state is. If it doesn't bubble for many days, yes, it's stateless, because it's stateless, so I'm not in the mood to fart and chat with everyone.

Looking at my PS today, everyone should know my status.

The last thing.

Since it's PS, let's ask for a monthly pass by the way.

Well, isn't it too insincere to ask for that?

Well, I'll give it a try, ahem.

"Comrades, we have to fight, fight, fight! Losers don't lose battles, weak nothing can weaken momentum, brothers vote up, fate will be desperate next month...... Two chapters. ”

Okay, it's over.
