On the other side, Lin Xiaoqian, Liao Zhuang, and Jiang Shuang gradually found their way to the entrance of the Yellow Wind Monster's lair. Of course, they took down several patrolling monsters along the way.
The entrance to the Yellow Wind Monster's cave was shrouded in a faint yellow light.
Liao Zhuang looked closely and said, "This Yellow Wind Monster is quite cautious; there's a barrier around its door. How are we going to get in?"
After observing for a moment, Lin Xiaoqian took out an RBG rocket, gestured towards the cave entrance, and said, "Why don't we just blow it up and see if my rocket is more powerful or his barrier is thicker?"
Just as Lin Xiaoqian was about to launch the RBG rocket towards the cave entrance, Mo Ying arrived.
"Xiao Qian, what are you doing?"
The others turned to look at him. "Mo Ying, you're back so soon!"
Upon seeing the tiger demon at Mo Ying's feet, staring at them with its two big round eyes, Lin Xiaoqian exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! Where did such a big golden tabby come from!"
As she spoke, she put down the RBG rocket and went to pet the cat.
Mo Ying kicked the tiger demon at his feet, "What golden shaded tiger? This is that Tiger Vanguard."
Lin Xiaoqian's outstretched hand paused, then her expression changed immediately. "Tiger demon? Has he ever eaten people?"
Mo Ying shook his head: "I didn't ask. But his aura is relatively clean, so he shouldn't be a bloodthirsty monster. Should we have Jiang Shuang hypnotize him and ask him? Or I can just search his soul."
"I've never eaten! I've never eaten a human! Don't search my soul!" the golden-haired pheasant shouted, raising its head.
If a powerful demon were to search his soul, would he still be alive?
You absolutely must not perform a soul search! Unless he's dead!
He quickly explained, “I only recently gained sentience. Before, I wandered around the deep mountains all day and never saw anyone. Later, I heard that the Yellow Wind King here was protected by a Bodhisattva, so I came here specifically to seek refuge with him. I originally wanted to learn some magic from him, but ever since I came here, the Yellow Wind King has been making me go out and find some Tang Dynasty monk all day long. I’m so busy running around outside every day, I don’t have time to eat people.”
Lin Xiaoqian stared at the tiger demon suspiciously, then grabbed one of its ears and said fiercely, "You'd better tell the truth, or I have plenty of strength and methods."
The tiger demon howled in pain, covering its ears with its paws and shaking its large head frantically. It dared not actually extend its paws to hurt Lin Xiaoqian, lest it displease the great demon.
"It's true! Great Immortal, spare my life! Spare my life! I swear, if I utter even a single lie, may my cultivation never improve and may I die a horrible death!"
Lin Xiaoqian released the tiger demon's ear, her brows furrowed. "I'll believe you this time. However, since you've joined the Yellow Wind Monster's side, you must know many secrets of the Yellow Wind Cave. Tell me, which Bodhisattva is protecting the Yellow Wind Monster?"
The tiger demon covered his ear with one paw and shook his head, saying, "The Yellow Wind King didn't say which Bodhisattva it was. He only said that he had gained sentience in the Buddha's sacred cultivation ground, Mount Ling. Later, the Bodhisattva sent him here, saying that he had an important mission. He said that once the mission was completed, he could return to Mount Ling and might even receive a reward from the Buddha."
Lin Xiaoqian seemed to be deep in thought, his gaze falling on the tiger demon, and asked, "Then why did he ask you to find the Tang Dynasty monk?"
The tiger demon shrank his neck. "I... I don't know either. He said that monk is very useful and that we must bring him back alive after finding him. I guess... he probably wants to eat the monk's flesh."
Lin Xiaoqian rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, "No matter what, let's go into the cave first. Little Tiger Demon, since you are under the Yellow Wind Monster's command, do you know how to open the barrier at the cave entrance?"
The tiger demon nodded hurriedly, "Great Immortal, the barrier at the entrance of Yellow Wind Cave was set up by the Yellow Wind King, and there are dozens of lesser demons inside. If you go directly into the cave, you might alert them and fail to catch the Yellow Wind King. The Yellow Wind King's Samadhi Divine Wind is so powerful that even celestial beings would be helpless against it. I do have a way to help you enter silently."
Lin Xiaoqian looked at him suspiciously: "You would be so kind?"
The tiger demon hurriedly waved its paws, "Great Immortal, how could I dare to lie to you! I came to seek refuge with King Yellow Wind hoping to learn some magic, but he only makes me do errands and capture people. I've had enough. Now that I see you all... you great immortals are no ordinary people, you can definitely subdue him. If I can help you great immortals succeed, I can find a good place to go in the future. Besides..."
He reached out his paw and hooked the collar around his neck. "With this on, how could I dare to deceive you all, my great immortals?"
After speaking, he glanced timidly at Mo Ying. After all, with this great demon present, how could he dare to play any tricks?
Lin Xiaoqian glanced at the others and said, "I'll trust you this time. Lead the way. If you dare to play any tricks, you'll be in for a world of hurt."
"Don't dare."
The tiger demon led the group around to the side of Yellow Wind Cave, to a mountain wall hidden by dense vines.
He stretched out his claws and tried to reach among the vines, but being short, he couldn't reach anything despite jumping around for a long time.
He turned around and chuckled at Lin Xiaoqian and the others, "Hehe, esteemed immortals, there's a rock behind these vines. Could one of you please press it down?"
Mo Ying stepped forward. "Let me do it."
He fumbled around for a bit and triggered a hidden mechanism. With a "creak," a narrow crack slowly opened up in the mountain wall.
“Great immortals, this is a secret passage left by the Yellow Wind King for himself. It is rarely used, and only a few lesser demons know about it,” the tiger demon explained. “I discovered it by accident.”
Just as Lin Xiaoqian was about to step into the cave, Mo Ying stopped her.
He then took out several talismans and distributed them to Lin Xiaoqian and the others.
"You guys smell too strongly of humans. Going in like this will inevitably alert the enemy. It would be better to conceal yourselves before going in."
The tiger demon's eyes lit up as it looked at the glowing talisman in Mo Ying's hand, but its expression became even more respectful.
After attaching talismans to conceal their presence, the group entered the cave. Inside, a dark and stale atmosphere permeated the air, somewhat like the smell of a zoo—in any case, it wasn't very pleasant.
The group walked along the winding path, the road beneath their feet rugged and uneven, with sharp stones protruding from time to time.
As we walked, we came to a fork in the road.
Before Lin Xiaoqian and the others could speak, the tiger demon jumped forward to lead the way, saying, "This way, this way, please follow me."
