Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 270 is missing!
Xu Ran and Xiao Bai hid on the side, one man and one falcon. Fortunately, they both knew the [Wind Control Technique] and could control the airflow around them to disrupt the perception of the blood-red giant tiger.

"Dong-dong-dong-"

Every step the huge figure took made the surrounding ground tremble, and wherever it went, the smell of blood was emitted.

When the bloody giant tiger passed by their hiding place, its figure was completely revealed in front of Xu Ran and Xiaobai.

Countless black patterns were printed on the blood-red tiger skin, and each black pattern exuded a shocking aura. Xu Ran and Xiaobai could only barely resist this aura, and this was only the aura emitted invisibly. If they were in a combat state, they would probably not be able to defeat the enemy in one move.

Even though Xu Ran's [Immortal Sword Art] and [Annihilation Light] possessed immense power, they were no match for someone else's thick skin and flesh. A demon beast like Xiaobai could withstand a single blow from [Immortal Sword Art] and [Annihilation Light], so how could the vastly superior Blood-colored Giant Tiger in front of them not be able to do the same? Impossible.

"Could this blood-red giant tiger be the strongest being in the mountains?" Xu Ran guessed in his heart.

He had no idea of ​​the power distribution within the mountains, and could only guess and explore a little. He had just begun to explore the mountain's power and was able to protect himself, but as soon as he emerged, he encountered this blood-red giant tiger. This undoubtedly made Xu Ran begin to wonder how powerful the monsters in the mountains were. I'm afraid that with Xiaobai's current strength, it would be very difficult for him to deal with all the dangers!
"Ok?"

When the blood-red giant tiger passed by them, it suddenly turned back and looked at where they were hiding. In an instant, Xu Ran and Xiaobai held their breath, and cold sweat kept coming out on their foreheads.

At the same time, Xu Ran's fingers were ready to activate the [Immortal Sword Technique], and he would launch an attack immediately the moment he was discovered.

However, the next thing did not happen, only the bloody giant tiger was heard saying.

"It seems that the situation in the mountains is really not peaceful right now. Too many things have happened and there are too many variables."

"The most important thing is to wait until Lord Snake King fully wakes up and proves the natural disaster!"

After saying that, he attacked the bamboo forest where the snake king was sleeping.

Xu Ran, who was hiding in the dark, was stunned when he heard the words of the bloody giant tiger. He did not come to his senses until the bloody giant tiger left. He only reacted when Xiaobai pushed him.

"Xiaobai, did you hear what the bloody giant tiger said just now?" Xu Ran confirmed with Xiaobai again to prevent himself from being too nervous and hearing it wrongly.

Xiaobai nodded, indicating that he had heard it too.

After getting the answer, Xu Ran's mood instantly became impatient.

"This blood-colored giant tiger can actually speak human language. Its strength must be far superior to Xiaobai's. Xiaobai absorbed the [Blood Kunpeng Grass] and obtained the blood of Kunpeng, but he still couldn't speak. But this blood-colored giant tiger can already speak freely!"

Of course, Xu Ran was not too surprised that the monster could talk. He just had a clear understanding of the strength of Xiaobai and Dashan.

What shocked him the most was what the bloody giant tiger said, "Snake King!"

Judging from his tone, this sleeping snake king was his master. Could there be another snake king in this mountain? And one that was also sleeping? Impossible.

The snake king mentioned by the bloody giant tiger is the event of [Snake King Awakening] that Xu Ran will face in half a year!

The strength of this blood-red giant tiger is so terrifying, how powerful will the snake king be after it awakens?
Furthermore, according to the blood-red giant tiger, the sleeping Snake King is trying to achieve some kind of natural disaster. If he succeeds, will the Snake King's power surge again?!

In this way, he would have to face the [Snake King Awakening] incident, and the degree of danger would increase exponentially!
Xu Ran stood there, muttering, "What kind of secrets are hidden in this mountain? If even the powerful snake king sleeps here?!"

Xu Ran had a thousand questions in his mind.

You know, the villages near this mountain don’t even have any methods of cultivation. If Old Qi hadn’t happened to obtain the method of body refining when he was young, Xu Ran probably wouldn’t have even started his first body refining yet.

How could such a powerful monster like the Snake King exist in such a remote place?

This is something Xu Ran couldn't understand no matter how hard he tried!
Seeing that Xu Ran’s face was not looking good, Xiaobai came to his side and waved his wings to signal him continuously.

Xu Ran looked at Xiaobai in confusion, and barely got some information from its actions.

"You mean, you knew two months ago that there was a bamboo forest deep in the mountains, and that a giant snake king was sleeping in it?"

Xiaobai nodded.

No wonder Xiaobai has been practicing so hard during this period. He had long discovered the Snake King sleeping deep in the bamboo forest, and realized that the Snake King would wake up soon. He also thought of the strange things that had happened recently in the Great Wilderness Village. There were snake demons nearby every day, staring at the village and the Xu family like a stalker.

It is easy to imagine that those snake monsters must be the work of the sleeping snake king. If such a powerful snake king is targeting the Dahuangbian Village, then Xu Ran, as Xiaobai's master, will definitely be the first target.

Therefore, he could only try his best to improve his cultivation before the Snake King woke up, and make adequate preparations for that day when he would grow old.

Xu Ran felt what Xiaobai meant, and his originally panicked expression calmed down, and the confidence returned to his eyes.

"Anyway, there's still some time before the Snake King wakes up. At my current training speed, I'm afraid it will take some hard training to defeat that blood-red giant tiger. But I can definitely do it before the Snake King wakes up."

"Since I was able to defeat the blood-red giant tiger just now, I have the opportunity to improve my cultivation to the level that can defeat the Snake King!"

First of all, the only people Xu Ran can use are him and Xiaobai, one with a falcon. As for the other people in the Great Wilderness Village, let alone facing the Snake King, even if they are given another year, it may be a little difficult for them to face a monster alone. Although his father Xu Binghu has some strength, it is still not enough.

He can use his magical powers, the [Immortal Sword Technique] and the [Annihilation Light] which he has just achieved some success. These two attacks are his strongest means of attack at present. During this period of time, what he has to do is to try his best to increase the power of these two means of attack.

Moreover, his body can produce innate qi every day. With the endless supply of innate qi and his [Innate Saint Body] constitution, there is still great hope.

After a brief stop, Xu Ran and Xiaobai returned to the mountain stream again. One man and one falcon, they simultaneously shut off the supply of spiritual energy and innate energy in their bodies, and stepped into the mountain stream filled with violent winds with pure physical strength.

“Swoosh—swoosh—swoosh—”

Several wind blades slashed across their bodies, leaving behind a series of terrifying scars. Especially on Xu Ran's thin body, these scars looked even more terrifying, but they simply ignored the scars and just sat cross-legged on the ground quietly, accepting the baptism of the mountain stream wind blades.

Countless beads of sweat fell from his forehead, dripping onto the ground, creating a wet patch.

In this way, relying on the strength of their bodies, they endured the mountain stream for a whole day. When they came out again, there was no intact place on their bodies. Their faces were pure white and lifeless, but the expressions on their faces at this time were indeed full of surprise.

This kind of desperate improvement has a very good effect.

The innate energy in Xu Ran's body became more condensed, and the speed of condensing the innate energy was faster than before. He could condense nearly a thousand strands of innate energy every day, and his [Immortal Sword Technique] had been significantly improved.

The sky gradually darkened, and darkness enveloped the entire mountain, especially the howling wind in the mountain stream, which seemed a little weird.

Xu Ran and Xiao Bai, one man and one falcon, were in this mountain stream, allowing the wind blade to destroy their bodies at will. They didn't know how much torture they went through.

"Not enough, not enough!"

Xu Ran sat cross-legged on the ground. The pure white innate energy in his body was constantly healing his body. He kept muttering to himself. Xiaobai was also recovering with an unsatisfied look on his face.

The blood-red giant tiger they encountered deep in the mountains today brought them a great sense of crisis. Only through constant practice can they relieve the tension in their hearts.

One year and eight months old.

A month has passed since Xu Ran, Xiaobai and his friends encountered the blood-red giant tiger deep in the mountains. During this month, the man and the falcon have been practicing hard in the mountain stream and only return to Xu's house once every seven days.

Limiting the recovery of the body to suppress one's potential to the extreme, this method of training is very effective for them.

Xu Ran was suspended in the air in the mountain stream. The raging wind around him had no effect on him. Behind him, there was a solid pocket flying sword, and next to it, there was an illusory half-sword shadow.

"This second immortal sword is really hard to condense!!"

During this month, Xu Ran used all the innate energy gathered in his body to condense the second immortal sword, but compared with the first one, the difficulty increased significantly.

When making the first immortal sword, Xu Ran only needed hundreds of strands of innate energy to condense the hilt. The entire pocket-sized immortal sword required nearly ten thousand strands of innate energy. As for the second immortal sword, it took him a month and ten thousand strands of innate energy just to condense the hilt!
It’s hard to say when it will be fully condensed!
"I was thinking of enhancing my cultivation by condensing a second immortal sword. It seems that I won't be able to do it in a short time unless I encounter a fortuitous encounter!"

It is easy to say that it is an adventure, but it is so difficult to encounter it!

This is a big mountain, a remote place on the border of the Source Realm. There is not even a complete method of cultivation. How could there be any adventure here?

Even though there is a mountain that stretches for thousands of miles here, except for the villages around it, the rest are either wild beasts or monsters. If there is any adventure, it will be Xiaobai's. This is indeed the case. Xiaobai's strength can increase so quickly because he has had many adventures.

His own [Immortal Sword Technique] was brought by Xiaobai.

"If I were to say the greatest adventure in the mountains, it would probably be the mysterious entrance to the inheritance. However, it requires the mastery of the [Immortal Sword Technique], which puts me in a vicious circle!"

The entrance to the inheritance is an adventure, but if you want to enter, you need to practice the [Immortal Sword Technique] to perfection. But at the current speed, if you want to practice it to perfection, you need an adventure!
Then, Xu Ran's expression gradually relaxed.

"Fortunately, this month of extreme hard training in the mountain stream has brought me a lot of gains. If I keep going, I'll soon be able to face that blood-red giant tiger with a certain degree of confidence!"

"I should practice for a while longer, then go home. Otherwise, my parents will be worried!"

After saying that, he continued to practice in the mountain stream.

at the same time.

Dahuangbian Village, Xu Family.

The village guards gathered at the house, and everyone had a look of worry on their faces. Lian Ji was among them. She paced back and forth anxiously, and tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.

"Master Qi, did your guard team go to the mountains to search? Did they find the sick tiger?"

Old Qi shook his head and said helplessly, "Two days ago, we gathered the village guards and conducted a carpet search in the mountains, even going deeper into the mountains, but we still couldn't find the sick tiger."

Three days ago, Xu Binghu led the village guard team into the mountains to hunt snake demons and various monsters. At that time, a white snake demon wanted to escape. Seeing this, Xu Binghu immediately chased after it and asked Qi Lao and the others to wait there.

As a result, Xu Binghu never returned. Qi Lao and the others stayed in the mountains until night, but when they didn't see anyone, they came back.

At that time, everyone thought that with Xu Binghu's strength, chasing and killing a small snake demon would be a piece of cake. As early as several months ago, Xu Binghu could kill the snake demon with one move. At that time, they were not worried.

As a result, the next morning, Lian Ji found them and asked about Xu Binghu's whereabouts.

At that time, worried expressions finally appeared on everyone's faces. They wanted to find Xu Ran first, but they couldn't find him either. Every time before going out, Xu Ran and Xiaobai would tell Lian Ji in advance. Even she didn't know where Xu Ran and Xiaobai were.

Today is the third day, and Xu Binghu still hasn't returned. He has been nowhere to be found. Not only Lian Ji, but everyone else in the village is also worried.

Although the other members of the guard team can kill the snake demon, it costs a lot. Moreover, the snake demon comes to the vicinity of the village every day, and they cannot keep up with the speed at which they kill it. Once Xu Binghu is gone, their pressure will increase exponentially.

"In the past two days, I've sent all the body cultivators in the village into the mountains to search for him. But they dare not search at the edge. If they go too deep, with their cultivation level, they will die!"

Lian Ji also understood and nodded, "I know!"

As he spoke, tears began to flow uncontrollably again.

At this moment, a loud eagle cry suddenly sounded from the sky. When Lian Ji heard the sound, she instantly felt reassured and immediately walked out of the room.

As soon as Xu Ran and Xiaobai landed, they saw the tears on Lian Ji's face and the group of people behind her with anxious expressions, so they immediately asked.

"Mom, what happened?"

Lian Ji choked up and replied, "Your father is missing."
