Chapter 4 Tiger Demon
Xu Zhenfeng did not dare to delay and walked down the mountain quickly, concentrating all his attention. He could feel Hu San's eyes staring at his back, which was a very dangerous feeling like a thorn in his side.
Fortunately, as he walked further and further, the feeling gradually disappeared. After stepping into the stone tablet marking the boundary between the Demon Mountain and the human territory, Xu Zhenfeng looked back and found that Hu San had disappeared on the mountain road.
I don’t know whether he returned to the Demon Mountain or sneaked into the mountains again.
Xu Zhenfeng let out a long breath and turned his head to look ahead, which was a dense and endless forest of spikes.
Countless towering trees blocked Xu Zhenfeng's view, and after he reached the foot of Jianfengling Mountain, the light became much dimmer.
I don’t know if there are monsters hiding in this forest like Hu San, or humans or demons waiting to capture them.
But Xu Zhenfeng couldn't stay here. The view here was relatively wide and he was a big target. He had to enter the forest immediately, hide, and wait until night to fully transform.
After Xu Zhenfeng entered the forest, he could feel that the surrounding area should be relatively safe. There were constant sounds of birds singing and insects chirping, and occasionally, he could hear the low roars of wild beasts.
He left the vaguely discernible forest path and walked into the dense forest covered with vines and bushes. He wanted to find a relatively safe place to hide before it got dark.
The light in the forest was dimmer, the trees grew densely, and there were patches of bushes that almost formed a low wall, and vines that were like a web, which slowed down Xu Zhenfeng's progress.
Before dark, he finally found a small earthen slope with several huge rocks on it. One of the rocks was tilted downwards. The part that extended out just penetrated the ground below the earthen slope, forming a small cave between the earthen slope and the rocks.
Xu Zhenfeng went in to check and found no signs of wild animals building a nest here. The place was filled with dead branches and leaves, and unknown insects were crawling on the ground and among the dead branches.
He didn't even clean it. He broke off a few branches from other places and inserted them at the entrance of the cave as a cover.
Xu Zhenfeng sat inside, listening silently to the movements around him. As time passed, the sky became completely dark, and the sounds of birds and insects gradually disappeared.
The moon rose and the forest was extremely quiet, with only the occasional cry of a night owl.
Xu Zhenfeng walked to the entrance of the cave and looked out through the bushes. The moonlight could not penetrate the overly dense forest. It was pitch black all around, with only a little light above the treetops.
Xu Zhenfeng walked back into the cave, and the memories in his mind became clearer. He then realized that as a wolf demon, he had to wait until the full moon night to transform.
Is it a full moon tonight?
Xu Zhenfeng walked back to the cave entrance and tried to look up, but he could not see the moon at all.
Never mind, let’s try it once.
He reread the process of his last transformation in his mind, and after a moment, he walked out of the cave.
Xu Zhenfeng looked up to the sky, his eyes fixed on the dots of moonlight scattered through the treetops above. He opened his mouth wide, and after a long time, he let out a very frustrated wolf howl.
“Woo…”
Following a howl that seemed to be unwilling to give up, there were two more fierce wolf howls.
Where Xu Zhenfeng stood, a ray of moonlight completely penetrated the dense woods and fell on him.
Under the faint moonlight, Xu Zhenfeng's lower body, which was still in wolf shape, began to change.
The dark grey tail slowly disappeared, and starting from his butt, the symbol of a male human began to manifest.
Next came his legs. The human legs slowly extended and covered his original two wolf legs.
Xu Zhenfeng was secretly happy. He was lucky. It seemed that tonight would be the night of the full moon.
The human legs covered the wolf legs very slowly. Xu Zhenfeng didn't dare to move and kept looking up at the moon.
The thighs were fully formed, and the calves also had their outlines. Then, the calves took full shape, and the ankles and soles of the feet began to appear.
At this moment, Xu Zhenfeng suddenly heard the sound of stepping on branches coming from the front.
He didn't dare interrupt his transformation, nor did he dare to take his eyes away from the faint moonlight.
The sound of footsteps on branches was urgent, as if someone or a wild animal was desperately trying to escape.
Only a small half of Xu Zhenfeng's feet had not yet fully transformed. He really didn't want to interrupt at this time, so he could only keep looking up at the moon.
The sound of hurried running, trampling trees, and rushing through bushes, was getting closer and closer.
Xu Zhenfeng could already smell a faint evil aura in his nose.
This demonic aura was different from his own and was much weaker.
His human-shaped toes had already appeared, and at this moment, a blurry figure rushed out from the darkness ahead and crashed straight into Xu Zhenfeng who was standing at the entrance of the cave at a very fast speed.
Xu Zhenfeng cursed inwardly, but still maintained his posture and looked up.
The figure hit Xu Zhenfeng directly, and under the impact of an extremely huge force, Xu Zhenfeng and the figure rolled into the cave.
Fortunately, at this time, Xu Zhenfeng's last toe had completely transformed.
As soon as he rolled into the cave, he changed back into wolf form, opened his mouth wide and bit the throat of the figure on top of him.
A low tiger roar sounded in the cave.
It turned out to be a tiger monster. A flash of lightning came into Xu Zhenfeng's mind, and the tiger monster on his body opened its mouth and bit Xu Zhenfeng.
Now, the two big mouths bit each other, and the teeth almost pierced through each other's upper and lower jaws.
Neither of the two monsters was willing to give in, and blood slowly flowed out.
Xu Zhenfeng was pressed down in a downward position, and he felt a stream of hot blood flowing into his mouth. He didn't dare to let go and could only swallow it.
The tiger demon's claws were on the ground, and its hind paws were between Xu Zhenfeng's legs. The tiger demon was not much bigger than the wolf demon Xu Zhenfeng.
Xu Zhenfeng bit the opponent hard, pressed his back against the ground, and kicked the tiger monster's abdomen with all four legs, almost sending the tiger monster flying.
At this moment, the tiger demon suddenly let go, and an unclear and low female voice sounded, "If you are not afraid of death, continue. There are humans chasing the demon tribe behind us."
Hearing this, Xu Zhenfeng stopped kicking wildly and opened his mouth.
After he changed back into wolf form, his eyesight improved a lot. In the dark cave, he could see that the tiger demon looked a little thin.
The tiger demon took two steps back and whispered anxiously to Xu Zhenfeng, "I was discovered by the humans just after I transformed. They chased me all the way into the Peak Forest. They are almost here. Let's run away."
After saying that, the tiger demon rushed out of the cave again, but turned back in an instant, cursing in a low voice: "Fuck, I can't escape."
Xu Zhenfeng immediately transformed into a human form and rushed to the entrance of the cave to look out. In front of him, there were large shadows of trees swaying. It was obvious that there were many humans chasing the tiger monster, and they were encircling it in a fan-shaped pursuit.
Xu Zhenfeng cursed the tiger demon countless times in his heart, asking why it was running in his direction when the demon mountain was clearly in another direction.
He turned his head and saw that the tiger demon had also transformed into a human form, wearing a black nightgown.
Xu Zhenfeng's body trembled, and he quickly covered his lower body. Damn it, why don't I have any clothes after I transformed?
At this time, five or six figures ran out of the woods outside the cave.
"Right here, surround her. Qiu Laoliu, surround her from behind."
A man's voice was heard from far away behind the small mound.
"Don't worry, Brother Chen, we have already blocked the tiger demon's retreat. She can't escape."
