On the opposite side, Lu Chen's body involuntarily rose into the air and floated towards where the tiger monster was.

Lu Chen was a little flustered and wanted to resist, but under the gaze of the tiger demon, his whole body was restrained and he couldn't even struggle!

In this panic mood, Lu Chen approached the tiger monster.

Just after Lu Chen's body touched the formation that imprisoned the tiger demon, his body was blocked by the formation and could not move forward an inch!

The tiger demon's expression softened slightly.

Lu Chen's body was freed from its restraints and fell to the ground from mid-air.

Lu Chen's heart was in his throat.

In front of this tiger demon, the other party can make him do this with just a glance!

If he had evil intentions, he would have died here today!

The tiger demon looked at Lu Chen carefully, as if his eyes could see through everything!

Lu Chen had a feeling that under this kind of gaze, all his secrets and past would be seen through by him.

The tiger demon's eyes turned cold.

"Human, you are so brave! You actually slaughtered our monsters just to improve your cultivation!"

Lu Chen clasped his hands together and began to explain.

"Senior, you have misunderstood. The reason why I kill monsters to obtain pills is not for myself. I have never used monster pills to improve my cultivation. The reason why I kill monsters is for my spirit pet."

The tiger demon snorted coldly.

"Isn't this just for personal gain?"

"If the pet is not yours, how could you do this?"

"I want to see who your pet is that actually needs a demon pill to keep it alive!"

Lu Chen was speechless for a moment.

I tried to summon Xuan Mo with my mind, but after trying several times, there was no response.

This made him look embarrassed, and then his mind became tense.

The tiger demon roared, his voice was like a raging wave!

In an instant, cracks appeared on Lu Chen's clothes.

Lu Chen forcibly mobilized his spiritual power and barely resisted.

The tiger demon roared.

"How dare you argue in front of me? I will make you pay the price today!"

After saying this, the tiger demon stretched out its sharp claws and tapped forward lightly!

A wind blade quickly appeared from under his feet and directly hit Lu Chen!

The speed is as fast as lightning!

Lu Chen felt a chill all over.

Fortunately, the wind blade was blocked when it touched the barrier, and only a small amount of its force passed through the barrier and slashed towards Lu Chen.

After being blocked by the barrier, the tiger demon's wind blade slowed down, and Lu Chen tried his best to dodge to the side!

Even so, he did not completely avoid the tiger monster's attack...

The wind blade slashed Lu Chen's left arm, leaving a bloody mark that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, which was horrifying.

Blood flowed down Lu Chen's arm and dripped onto the ground.

Seeing this, the tiger demon became furious.

"Boy! You still dare to dodge? Today I will make sure that no bones will be left of you!"

A cold gaze turned to Lu Chen, and Lu Chen's body was imprisoned again!

Lu Chen's eyes suddenly became solemn.

If the tiger demon attacks again, he will be dead.

At this critical moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of Lu Chen!

Xuan Mo appeared!

After opening his hazy eyes, Xuan Mo saw the tall and mighty tiger monster in front of him!

Faced with that cold gaze, Xuan Mo trembled all over, and the hair on his body stood up!

Just after recovering from his shock, Xuan Mo hurriedly flew and hid behind Lu Chen, sticking his head out and watching vigilantly.

The tiger demon was about to attack and kill Lu Chen, but when he saw Xuan Mo, his eyes became a little dull.

"The aura on you... Shadow King!"

The sudden words made Lu Chen a little overwhelmed.

What Shadow King?

What does it have to do with yourself?

But Lu Chen discovered that the tiger demon's attention was not on him, but on the cat behind him.

After a moment, the tiger demon looked at Lu Chen and spoke.

"You hunt monsters just for him?"

Lu Chen wanted to admit it, but his whole body was restrained and he couldn't move. The tiger demon noticed his condition and his eyes relaxed.

Lu Chen was freed from his restraints once again and began to speak.

"Senior, as you said, it is for his growth that I came to the Great Forest."

The tiger demon looked at Xuan Mo with a strange look that was slightly pityful.

"I didn't expect you to end up like this."

Lu Chen asked.

"Senior, do you recognize my cat?"

The tiger demon hesitated for a moment and did not answer. He looked at Lu Chen.

"who are you?"

Lu Chen then introduced himself, gave his name, and explained his background.

The tiger demon listened very carefully, and nodded only after Lu Chen finished speaking.

"I see. It seems you got into this place by mistake. The girl in the cave should also be your companion, right?"

Lu Chen did not expect that the tiger demon's spiritual perception was so strong that it could even detect Rong Xueer who was far away.

Lu Chen answered.

"Yes, she and I are companions. Senior, why are you trapped here?"

Lu Chen thought that the tiger demon would not answer his question, but he was wrong. The tiger demon actually calmed down.

"I was originally the Roaring Tiger King. This forest was my territory, and all the monsters were subject to me. Unfortunately, three hundred years ago, a celestial spirit beast came from a foreign land."

"That golden bird, named Aotian, relied on his higher cultivation level than mine to plunder my territory and suppress me here!"

"He controlled me with his will and set up a soul-locking formation, using my cultivation to transform it into spiritual energy to feed all the beasts. I won't accept this!"

"I want to break out of this cage. I want revenge! I want to kill him! I want to destroy him completely..."

The Roaring Mountain Tiger King became more and more excited as he spoke, and even began to go crazy, venting his hatred towards Ao Tian unscrupulously!

Lu Chen seemed to be thinking about something.

Although it was just a few simple words, it was conceivable that three hundred years of detention had accumulated countless resentments in him.

It was a long time before the Roaring Mountain Tiger King spoke again.

"I was transformed into a human form before. My real name is Bashan. Because of the Soul Locking Array, my cultivation has been drained and transformed into spiritual energy for many years. My cultivation has fallen to the early stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. It is estimated that it will not be long before my cultivation will fall again."

This is a bit too much information for Lu Chen.

Even after having his cultivation drained by the Soul Locking Array for three hundred years, he was still able to maintain the Heavenly Spirit Realm!

One can imagine how terrifying Ba Shan's cultivation was at that time.

Lu Chen didn't know why the Tiger King in front of him said this.

Could it be that no one has communicated with him for all these years and he also needs someone to talk to?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen calmed down.

After Bashan finished speaking, Lu Chen bowed deeply.

"I wonder what I can do?"

The Roaring Mountain Tiger King burst into laughter.

"The reason I'm telling you this is for one reason only. I need your help!"

Lu Chen looked embarrassed. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but he simply didn't have the ability to do so at the moment.

"Senior, although I want to help you out of this predicament, I simply don't have the ability to do so right now."

"Do you have any relatives or friends? I can pass on a message for you and ask them to help you out."

After hearing this, Bashan's face showed bitterness and he shook his head helplessly.

"No! It's more difficult for us monsters to cultivate than for you humans. We compete and plunder each other. How can we be friends?"

Lu Chen spoke.

"What do you need me to do?"

Bashan spoke.

"If I want you to help me, of course I need you to become stronger first. When you have enough ability, you can help me out of this predicament."

Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that he has said this, he won't embarrass himself.

"What exactly is the Shadow King that the senior just mentioned?"

Bashan was silent and thought for a moment before he spoke.

"Some things are useless to tell you, but will bring disaster to you. When the time comes, you will naturally understand."

Since the other party didn't want to say, there was no point in asking further. Instead, it would only make the other party disgusted. Lu Chen lowered his head and stopped talking.

Bashan's eyes lit up and he spoke slowly.

"Lu Chen, how about we make a deal?"

Lu Chen looked curious.

"What deal?"

Bashan spoke slowly.

"I can give you an opportunity and a good fortune, but in return, I want you to become stronger and come back to save me."

This is indeed a temptation for Lu Chen.

With the cultivation level of Tianling Realm, what he will give to himself must be extraordinary, and he will also place his hopes on himself.

By this calculation, what Bashan said was true.

However, Lu Chen did not agree immediately. He wondered if the other party would kill him if he rejected him.

This is the uncertain factor.

If I were useless to him, he might kill me in a rage, just like he did just now.

On the surface, Bashan gave him a choice, but in reality, Lu Chen had no choice at all.

After thinking the truth clearly, Lu Chen bowed.

"Senior, it is fate that we met. It is my honor to be able to help you. I will do this business!"

Bashan laughed out loud after hearing this.

"it is good!"

In an instant, his eyes suddenly lit up!

A formation pattern appeared in his eyes, and through his gaze, it was reflected in Lu Chen's eyes and penetrated into his heart.

Lu Chen felt as if his heart was put into a shackle, but since the shackles were removed, it did not cause any harm to him.

"Senior, what are you doing?"

Bashan began to explain.

"Since this is a deal, there must be constraints. I will give you ten years to improve your cultivation."

"If you don't come here to help me out in ten years, the soul-binding chain I planted in your heart will explode if the time limit is exceeded."

"This is a guarantee for the transaction!"

Lu Chen was shocked!

I didn't expect that such a complicated formation could be completed with just a glance. You can imagine how high the other party's attainments are.

Since I have already agreed to the other party's deal, I have no choice but to accept it.

"Okay, I will definitely fulfill my promise within ten years, but I don't know if my level of cultivation will be enough to help you escape from this predicament."

Bashan watched Lu Chen's every move carefully.

"Since this is a deal, I will keep my promise. I said I would give you a chance, so you open your heart and don't resist. No matter what I do, don't resist."

After saying this, Bashan closed his eyes.

An illusory human figure emerged from his head, like smoke and mist, and floated towards Lu Chen until he touched the barrier, then he stretched out his hands.

A wisp of tobacco passed through the barrier and reached Lu Chen's forehead, then penetrated his body.

A pure force flowed through Lu Chen's veins, and Lu Chen's body also changed.

When that wisp of tobacco passes through Lu Chen's veins, his veins will become thick and tough!

This change brought pain to Lu Chen, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

Lu Chen closed his eyes tightly, trying not to make any sound, and persevered.

It felt like someone was scraping his veins with a knife. The irresistible pain made him miserable.

Beads of sweat dripped down Lu Chen's forehead, and his whole body was soaked in sweat...

As time went by, Lu Chen could no longer stand still. His body curled up on the ground, rolling from side to side.

Lu Chen felt that he was living a life worse than death, but the pain did not end with his will. The tobacco seemed to be corroding every part of his body.

In the end, Lu Chen was close to collapse!

There was no strength in the whole body, no pain, no feeling.

Finally, the whole person fainted.

Rong Xueer waited there for Lu Chen's return, but after waiting for a long time, Lu Chen still didn't return.

As time passed, Rong Xueer became more and more anxious.

Could it be that he walked out of the cave and started exploring outside?

He hasn't been back for such a long time, could he have encountered some difficulties?

All sorts of messy thoughts arose in Xue'er's mind, but she forced herself to suppress them, took a step forward, and walked towards the cave entrance.
