Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 805: Fear of being close to home

The golden rune lasted for a moment and then slowly began to dissipate.

"Ah Xuan, you have made a breakthrough?" Princess Ankang asked in surprise.

Li Xuan nodded slightly and found that everyone was looking at him, including Bai Yun.

Everyone suppressed their excitement and did not reveal any flaws in front of Bai Yun.

Bai Yun stared at Li Xuan for a long time, and finally looked away.

He should have also seen that Li Xuan was extraordinary.

But no one could have expected that the black cat in Princess Ankang's arms was the destined one.

After completing the Lunas Sutra, Li Xuan felt more confident.

In this way, he will have more confidence in dispersing the core of the cold wave.

But before that, they needed to find a way to enter Holy Snow City.

The core of the cold wave should be in the city, and it must be found first, only then can Li Xuan’s abilities be put to good use.

Although Li Xuan's breakthrough brought some minor incidents, they still followed the established plan to clear out the generals outside the city.

Although there were many of these warriors, they were defeated one by one through their efforts and finally rested in peace.

Li Xuan led the team many times and tried to enter the Holy Snow City, but the huge consumption of maintaining the Holy Fire Space forced him to retreat.

Even with the cooperation of Nirubel, Li Xuan still couldn't bear the consumption of maintaining the Holy Fire Space.

If he were to force his way into Holy Snow City, maintaining the Holy Fire Space would require a lot of Li Xuan's energy.

By the time the core of the cold wave is found and it is time to dispel it, Li Xuan might not be able to do it and miss the final important event.

And the risk of forcing through like this is too great.

If they encounter any accident in the city, it is likely that even evacuating safely will be a problem.

Li Xuan's Yin-Yang Qi has grown significantly after completing the Lunas Sutra.

But even so, it is still unable to cope with the serious situation at hand.

After several attempts and failures, the morale of the team was inevitably hit.

Seeing that this could not go on any longer, Li Xuan asked Princess Ankang to ask about the details of Baiyun's secret passage leading into the city.

Although Bai Yun had said before that he was not sure he could lead them to find the secret passage hidden in the West Mountain, he answered all of Princess Ankang's questions with a sincere attitude, and it did not seem like he was hiding anything.

Bai Yun also saw the team's predicament.

In the past two days, even the number of generals attacking them has decreased a lot.

It seems that their cleanup work has come to an end.

But even if all the warriors outside the Holy Snow City were cleared out, they still had no way to enter the city.

Others are not like Li Xuan. It is impossible for them to make any huge breakthrough in a short period of time.

Not to mention, most of the people in the team are already masters who have been famous for a long time.

In fact, their strengths have already reached their respective bottlenecks.

Without sufficient opportunities and accumulation, there is no possibility of going further.

"There is no way to break through head-on in a short period of time."

After these few days of hard work, Li Xuan came to his own conclusion.

No one can help him with this matter.

Even Nilubil and the Fire Gem could only provide him with minimal help.

Instead of staying where you are and practicing slowly, it would be better to try the secret passage that Baiyun mentioned.

Anyway, this is also a hope.

No one had any objection to this.

Bai Yun was unable to refuse Princess Ankang's request.

Therefore, after resting for a night, the group turned and headed towards the West Mountain near Holy Snow City.

Xishan is not far from Shengxue City. If there is no cold wave, you can see it from the city.

According to Bai Yun, the secret passage under the West Mountain is only a few miles long, and the other end of the secret passage is directly in the Holy Snow City.

When they entered the cellar where supplies were stored in Chuijin City, they discovered that the underground could isolate the impact of the cold wave to a certain extent.

Li Xuan guessed that perhaps this so-called secret passage could allow them to enter Holy Snow City more easily.

It only took them half a day to find the location of Xishan under the leadership of Baiyun.

The distance is indeed similar to what Baiyun said, and it is very close to Holy Snow City.

However, the wind and snow were so strong along the way that they could not move faster.

Xishan is easy to find.

But the question is how to find the entrance to the secret passage in the West Mountain?
Bai Yun rejected this route at first, not without his own reasons.

They kept traveling in the cold wave and finally found the Holy Snow City.

But they forget that it is not that difficult to find a city or a landmark in the vast wilderness.

After all, the target is so large that you can almost find it as long as you find the approximate direction.

But finding the entrance to a secret passage in a mountain is a different story.

Especially during cold waves, they have to face non-stop blizzards.

It would be fine if the entrance to this secret passage was at the top of the mountain or at the foot of the mountain.

But Baiyun recalled that the entrance to the secret passage happened to be halfway up the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain is the hardest location to find.

But they have already found Xishan, so there is no reason for them to give up.

Baiyun continued to lead the way, but after entering the mountain, he became a headless fly.

Because visibility was so low, they had no way of judging how high they had climbed.

It is even more difficult to tell where you are in the mountains.

It is easy to reach the top of the mountain and walk to the foot of the mountain. Just keep walking along the mountain.

But the middle of the mountain is a place that is difficult for them to judge now.

The group walked in the mountains for several days and reached the top of the mountain several times, but they could not find the entrance to the secret passage.

Everyone's patience was gradually wearing out, but they didn't know what to say.

Especially since Bai Yun had mentioned in advance that he was not sure he could lead everyone to find the entrance to the secret passage.

Li Xuan was neither anxious nor impatient.

There was nothing to do these days except practicing.

The generals around Holy Snow City have been almost cleared out by them.

If they choose to continue the cleanup, they will have to take the initiative to look for the general's traces, and they cannot get too close to the Holy Snow City.

This would be too time-consuming, so I might as well try my luck in Xishan.

Li Xuan had already prepared to return empty-handed.

It's still practicing no matter where you are, so there's no loss for him.

It would be better to move around.

Otherwise, if we continue to stay outside Holy Snow City, the morale of the team will be ruined.

Gotta leave some hope for everyone.

After several days of fruitless efforts, everyone came to their senses after seeing that Li Xuan didn't seem to care too much.

The team was full of top experts who had experienced many storms and waves, and they quickly understood Li Xuan's intention.

Everyone gradually relaxed, but Baiyun was the only one who was still leading the way seriously.

These days they have traveled almost all over Xishan.

They have left traces along the way.

Bai Yun couldn't help getting anxious as he had searched the entire West Mountain but still couldn't find the entrance to the secret passage.

He was absolutely sure that there was an entrance to a secret passage, but for some reason he just couldn't find it.

Bai Yun didn't want Princess Ankang to be disappointed in him, so he worked extra hard to find her.

Seeing that the people in the team were gradually becoming less concerned about finding the entrance to the secret passage, he thought that they had determined that he was lying.

The more Bai Yun thought about it, the more anxious he became.

He now looked down at his feet, and would go wherever there were no traces left.

After all, this matter was entrusted by Princess Ankang. Seeing Bai Yun's enthusiasm, the others didn't say anything and just followed him. Li Xuan was in Princess Ankang's arms, studying how to use the power of the holy fire and the power of the rune together, when he suddenly felt a murderous intent hidden in the cold wave.

"careful!"

Li Xuan subconsciously sent out a voice transmission.

Everyone stopped in unison.

But every time he transmitted the message, he intentionally blocked Bai Yun, and this time was no exception.

When everyone stopped, he didn't react. He took two steps forward before realizing something was wrong.

It was these two steps that allowed him to face the crisis head on.

Suddenly, a huge figure appeared in the cold wave.

Bai Yun looked up and saw a bloody mouth enlarging in his sight, leaving him no time to react.

At this moment, a dark shadow flashed by.

The bloody mouth that Bai Yun had seen before disappeared before his eyes like an illusion.

But in front of him, there were constant shrill roars.

Bai Yun looked up again and found that not far in front of him, a huge white bear with a hole in the chest was lying on the ground and struggling frantically.

He then lowered his head and saw Li Xuan's small figure standing in front of him.

Although Li Xuan's figure was small, it brought him an unprecedented sense of security.

This sense of security is greater than fighting alongside anyone else in the team.

When golden runes appeared on Li Xuan's body, Bai Yun knew that Li Xuan was not an ordinary house cat.

Otherwise, why would Princess Ankang bring Li Xuan into such a dangerous cold wave?

But Bai Yun never expected that Li Xuan's strength was so terrifying.

Even though he had been wandering in the cold wave for so many years, he had never seen any mutant beastman that could be so oppressive.

That’s right, facing Li Xuan’s back, Bai Yun even forgot to breathe.

After suffering severe injuries, the big white bear on the ground actually struggled to get up.

"There's actually such a big guy hiding in this mountain?"

Li Xuan was also a little surprised.

They had been wandering in the mountains for several days but hadn't found this big guy.

After being severely injured by Li Xuan, the big white bear still dared to continue attacking.

Li Xuan didn't hesitate and used the holy fire to melt the white bear's head.

This time, the big white bear couldn't even scream and died instantly.

Li Xuan habitually dug out the white crystals from the big white bear's body.

After approaching the Holy Snow City, they encountered mutant beasts whose bodies were filled with high-quality white crystals, with almost no impurities at all.

But Li Xuan didn't dare let Princess Ankang absorb such high-quality white crystals, so he gave her some first.

This has become a must-do for Li Xuan and Princess Ankang before going to bed every night.

But during this period of time, they spent all their time cleaning out the warriors around Holy Snow City, and the white crystals they had collected before were almost used up.

By the way, there are no white crystals inside the frozen body.

Li Xuan also felt very strange about this.

Whether it is a weak ice zombie or a strong ice zombie, there is no such thing in its body.

The white crystals seem to be exclusive to the mutant beast tribe.

Li Xuan dealt with the giant white bear in a flash, and no one else had a chance to attack.

Seeing Li Xuan passing by him, Bai Yun couldn't help but bow and said, "Thank you, Mr. Spirit Beast."

Li Xuan couldn't help but smile at this title.

Princess Ankang said, "General Bai, his name is Xuan."

"Oh, it's Lord Xuan." Bai Yun said with an embarrassed smile.

Baiyun led them all the way, and even if he didn't get any credit, he did make some effort.

Although Li Xuan had some doubts about him, he would not just stand by and watch him die.

The big white bear just now appeared suddenly and was very powerful.

Baiyun probably won't be able to make it by himself.

Li Xuan was about to get back into Princess Ankang's arms when he suddenly stumbled.

With his strength, he naturally wouldn't fall flat on his face.

Li Xuan realized something was wrong and looked back carefully, only to discover that the ground beneath his feet was slowly collapsing.

The others also noticed this and immediately began to retreat slowly.

After taking a few steps back, the collapse of the ground stopped.

“Why would a mountain collapse suddenly?”

While Li Xuan was wondering, Bai Yun suddenly shouted, "Secret passage, this is the entrance to the secret passage!"

Everyone was shocked and immediately went forward to check.

The body of the great white bear also fell into the collapsed cave.

Li Xuan threw a ball of holy fire in, which immediately illuminated the area below.

Everyone then saw clearly that this was not a naturally collapsed ground, because there were clearly man-made walls surrounding the hole.

After a careful look, everyone finally understood what was going on.

The big white bear occupied the entrance to the secret passage and used it as its den.

I guess it's hibernating, and the entire entrance to the cave has been sealed up, so there's no visible flaw from the outside.

Perhaps they walked back and forth on the mountain too many times, waking up the sleeping white bear, which angered him and caused him to suddenly attack.

But thanks to this, they found the entrance to the secret passage.

The entrance to the secret passage was damaged due to being modified by the white bear, but it was not completely destroyed.

Bai Yun was the first to jump down and check it out. He found that the secret passage was still usable and immediately reported it to Princess Ankang excitedly.

Everyone had given up hope, but unexpectedly, there was a ray of hope.

Under the leadership of Baiyun, they entered the secret passage one after another.

The secret passage goes all the way down, it is bottomless and very steep.

Fortunately, Li Xuan's holy fire provided light, which made it easier for them to walk.

As they went deeper underground, Li Xuan clearly felt that the consumption of maintaining the Holy Fire Space was decreasing.

"Sure enough, the underground can isolate the impact of the cold wave to a certain extent."

Li Xuan was excited.

If all goes well, they will be able to use the secret passage to enter the Holy Snow City.

There is also a so-called underground city in Holy Snow City. As long as they continue to operate underground, they should be able to save a lot of costs.

Even if they can't hold on, they can still leave Holy Snow City through the secret passage.

Advance to attack, retreat to defend.

The crowd, who originally didn't hold out much hope, immediately rekindled their fighting spirit.

"Maybe it will be successful in one fell swoop."

Although the secret passage was crowded, it was wide enough for them to pass through.

And as they continued to go down, they found that the secret passage gradually became wider.

It seems that the secret passage inside the mountain is difficult to build, so it is built a little narrower.

As we descended the height of West Mountain, the secret passage became not only more spacious but also more exquisitely constructed.

Everyone couldn't help but look at the details of the secret passage curiously.

No one would have thought that there was such a unique underground building in Beiliang.

But at this moment Li Xuan noticed that Bai Yun's fists were clenched tightly and trembling slightly.

He looked towards the other end of the secret passage, his steps became smaller and smaller, and it seemed that he could hardly walk anymore.

"Are you afraid of being home?"

Li Xuan looked at the white clouds and couldn't help but tilt his head.
