I'm in the world of Xianjian

Li Xiaoyao and others retreated to a secluded place, and Anu and Lin Yueru checked the injuries of Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger.

Fortunately, the two of them only suffered superficial injuries. Anu cast a spell to heal Zhao Linger, and Lin Yueru treated Li Xiaoyao.

Lin Yueru wanted to send a message to Lin Shen, asking him to take action, but was stopped by Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao said, "Don't look for him. If we can't even defeat a tiger like this, how can we make our way in the martial arts world?"

Lin Yueru said, "You are crazy. That is not an ordinary tiger, but a demonized tiger. How can we defeat it without its help?"

Li Xiaoyao shouted, "Are you willing to live under his protection for the rest of your life? Is the eldest daughter of the Lin family so fragile?"

Lin Yueru was awakened by Li Xiaoyao's words and said, "Brother Li, you are right. I am grateful for Anos's help, but I should also be self-reliant."

Zhao Linger gently patted Lin Yueru's back and said soothingly, "Sister Yueru, you're just confused because you've never seen such a scene before. If the four of us work together, we can definitely kill that demonic tiger."

In fact, Lin Shen had been keeping an eye on the performance of the four of them, and he thought: Now I understand why the system assigned me this kind of task. Only setbacks can make them grow.

But he may have a "split personality" in the future, playing both the good-cop Anos and the good-cop General Sang.

But I feel like this time they went a bit too far, with two people getting injured right at the start.

If they knew it was me who did it, they would eat me alive.

I have underestimated Li Xiaoyao. He is still capable of taking on responsibilities at times like this, and he seems like the destined male protagonist.

After the two were treated for their injuries, the four returned to their original location. The tiger was still there. The tiger roared when it saw the four. Li Xiaoyao said, "Girls, are you ready?!"

The three of them answered in unison, "Yes!"

Li Xiaoyao said, "Okay, let's go!"

Anu first used the bee-controlling technique to summon a large number of bees to pounce on the tiger. Seeing this, the tiger formed a fireball and threw it at the bees. With a loud explosion, countless bees were killed or injured.

Lin Yueru used her ring to conjure a lightning and fire bead and threw it at the tiger.

The tiger dodged to the side, and the lightning and fire bead exploded in the distance without hurting the tiger at all.

Li Xiaoyao used the Ten Thousand Swords Technique, and countless sword energies hit the tiger, but the tiger used its body to block them.

The sword energy only broke the tiger's skin. Zhao Linger was gathering strength at this time and threw a huge water ball at the tiger. The tiger dodged to the side and was not hit.

But the ground was made extremely slippery. Li Xiaoyao saw that this was not going to work, so he chanted the spell again, and countless sword energies condensed into a huge sword energy.

Zhao Linger understood it at a glance, so she began to cast a spell, freezing the entire ground so that the tiger could only barely stand on it.

Li Xiaoyao's sword was at the right time, and the huge sword energy shot towards the tiger, piercing through the tiger with one sword. The tiger screamed in pain, and Li Xiaoyao shouted "Now is the time!"

Zhao Linger and Anu gathered the power of thunder and lightning and attacked the tiger, while Lin Yueru turned her fingers into swords and shot out a burst of sword energy.

All three forces hit the tiger, and the tiger screamed and exploded to death.

Anu said, "Is this...over?"

Lin Yueru said, "It's all been smashed to pieces this time. It should be gone."

The four of them all felt a little tired, and without thinking, they sat down on the ground and gasped.

At this moment, Lin Shen heard the system's prompt sound, "Ding! The host has arranged two tests, and there is still one test to go. I hope the host will continue to work hard!"

Lin Shen was very satisfied with their performance and clapped his hands unconsciously.

The four looked in the direction of the sound and found a man wearing a red copper mask and armor on the tree.

Lin Yueru looked at the man's appearance and shouted "General Sang!"

Anu and Zhao Linger said, "He is General Sang!?"

Lin Yueru said, "That mask, that armor, I will never mistake it."

Anu said, "Is that demonized tiger your masterpiece?"

General Sang said in an arrogant tone, "Yes, I did it."

Li Xiaoyao said, "Why are you doing this!?"

General Sang said disdainfully, "It's just for fun."

Zhao Linger shouted, "How can any living thing be your toy?"

General Sang said, "The strong prey on the weak. That's how this world is."

Li Xiaoyao shouted, "You lunatic!"

General Sang said, "Thank you for the compliment."

Li Xiaoyao launched a sword towards Lin Shen. General Sang flicked his fingers to create a shield that blocked the attack, then said disdainfully, "Boy, you need to practice your martial arts more. I hope you don't get kicked away by me like last time."

Li Xiaoyao was about to get angry but was stopped by Zhao Linger.

General Sang said, "Well, I had a lot of fun today. I hope we can continue playing again. Don't die so early, or you won't be able to find such a good toy anywhere else."

After saying that, General Sang used the Moon Step and left laughing. His strange laughter could be heard throughout the entire forest.

Anu and Zhao Linger felt a little scared and couldn't help but shudder. Anu said, "It's a good thing he didn't attack us. This person's strength is unknown."

Zhao Linger looked at the direction where General Sang was walking away and said, "The next time we meet, maybe there will be a war."

Lin Yueru thought for a while and said, "This guy clearly had the opportunity to attack us, why didn't he?"

Li Xiaoyao said, “Maybe he wants to play a game of cat and mouse, he is the cat, and we are the mice under the cat’s claws.

There's no point in thinking about this now. Let's take a short break. We still have to go to the Jade Buddha Temple to ask Master Zhixiu to catch the monster."

Lin Shen walked away and found a secret place to land, then took off his mask.

Beneath the mask was a face gleaming with tears. Lin Shen knew that from this moment on, he could never take off his "mask" again.

He had to keep a certain distance when dealing with Li Xiaoyao and his group. He couldn't let them find out that "Anos" and "General Sang" were actually the same person. Sometimes he might have to endure their misunderstanding of him. He was really afraid that he would become schizophrenic one day.

Lin Shen reached out and grabbed a big tree next to him, then began to exert force. With a "click" sound, a large piece of the tree was grabbed off by Lin Shen.

Lin Shen adjusted his condition there, put on the mask and headed towards the Jade Buddha Temple.

After resting for half an hour, Li Xiaoyao and his group continued on their way to the Jade Buddha Temple. Following the route given by Han Mengci, they finally saw a stone tablet with the three characters "Jade Buddha Temple" inscribed on it.

Anu said, "The Jade Buddha Temple is just ahead."

Li Xiaoyao glanced at the stone tablet and said, "According to Miss Han, this should be it."

The few of them continued walking inside and saw a man in Buddhist robes carrying water.

Li Xiaoyao went up and asked, "Master, is this the Jade Buddha Temple?"

The monk simply said, "Amitabha."

Li Xiaoyao said, "Master, you..."

The monk once again said only "Amitabha."

Anu said angrily, "What do you mean, you bald donkey? We asked you something, why can't you just say Amitabha!"

The monk still said "Amitabha."

Anu was so angry that she said "You!" Just as she was about to say a few more words, she was grabbed by Zhao Linger. The monk left with the bucket.

Lin Yueru felt something was wrong and said, "What's the meaning of these monks? When we ask them questions, they only answer with the four words Amitabha. I always feel that they are more like puppets than monks."

Li Xiaoyao said, "I think it's because we have three beautiful women here, and he's afraid that his mind will be disturbed."

Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru, and Anu said in unison, "Don't come on."

Zhao Linger said, "I think what Sister Yueru said is worth noting. They are more like puppets possessed by others."

Anu saw a temple not far ahead and said, "Brother Xiaoyao, is that the Jade Buddha Temple?"

Li Xiaoyao looked in the direction Anu pointed and said, "It should be. Let's go and take a look." So the four of them walked towards the temple.
