Chapter 90 Tiger Crystal Beast

Lu Xiuyuan's heart trembled as he saw the huge tiger crystal beast in front of him. Its body was tall, its muscles were bulging, and it exuded a fierce aura. Its ferocious eyes were full of murderous light, as if it wanted to eat Lu Xiuyuan alive.

"The strength of this tiger crystal beast must not be underestimated!" Lu Xiuyuan was secretly alert in his heart. He knew that if he wanted to defeat this monster beast, he had to do his best and there was no room for retreat.

Although his heart was filled with fear, Lu Xiuyuan was not intimidated. On the contrary, a surge of courage and a sense of pride in challenging the strong surged in his heart. He took a deep breath, stared calmly at the monster in front of him, and prepared to face this life-and-death battle.

The tiger crystal beast roared, and the scales on its body flashed a cold light, as if threatening Lu Xiuyuan. The ground beneath its feet cracked, and a strong bloody smell filled the air, making people feel suffocated.

Lu Xiuyuan felt a little uneasy, but he did not retreat. Instead, he took a step forward fearlessly, ready to fight the beast.

He knew that although the Phoenix Red Gold Armor on his body was powerful, it was not a threat to this tiger crystal beast. The key was that he had to make good use of his spiritual power and exert his greatest potential to compete with this monster beast.

Lu Xiuyuan gathered his spiritual power, held the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, and fixed his gaze firmly on the eyes of the tiger crystal beast. He silently chanted a spell in his mind, preparing to release his ultimate move to fight this beast to the death.

The tiger crystal beast sensed the powerful aura emanating from Lu Xiuyuan, and a hint of vigilance flashed in its eyes. It growled, moved its body, and pounced towards Lu Xiuyuan.

Lu Xiuyuan faced the monster's attack, the sword in his hand flashing with cold light, ready to use his unique skills. His figure flashed, his spiritual power surged, ready to launch a strike at the critical moment to severely injure the beast.

The monster's figure was as fast as lightning, approaching quickly. Lu Xiuyuan felt the huge pressure from the monster, but he did not retreat at all. On the contrary, a strong fighting spirit surged in his heart, determined to defeat the beast and fight for a glimmer of life for himself and Wen Lingyue.

Just as the monster was about to pounce on him, Lu Xiuyuan suddenly dodged to the side, avoiding the monster's attack. At the same time, he seized this opportunity and suddenly attacked the monster's vital parts.

The tiger crystal beast instantly shifted its attention and locked its attack target on Lu Xiuyuan. A powerful force surged and knocked Lu Xiuyuan away. His body hit the ground hard, splashing a cloud of dust.

Wen Lingyue was extremely anxious when she saw this. She immediately rushed to Lu Xiuyuan's side, helped him up, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Lu Xiuyuan stood up with difficulty, supported himself on the ground with his hands, and forced a smile, saying: "I'm fine, don't worry, I can still withstand this level of attack."

Wen Lingyue frowned, dissatisfied with Lu Xiuyuan's understatement: "You idiot, you knew you didn't have the strength but you still insisted on rushing forward to die!"

Lu Xiuyuan was stimulated by her words, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "I can't just sit there and watch. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will fight for it!"

Seeing Lu Xiuyuan so determined, Wen Lingyue was secretly moved, but still couldn't help complaining: "You are so stubborn. Well, now that you are back, let's fight the enemy together."

The two of them were in sync, without saying much, they just nodded in agreement and decided to fight the beast together. Although there was a gap in strength between them, in a critical moment, unity was the only hope to break through the predicament.

When the tiger crystal beast saw the two of them joining forces again, a fierce light flashed in its eyes, and it was obviously afraid of their unity. It roared, and its momentum became more ferocious, like an enraged beast, ready to launch a more violent attack.

The two men did not flinch at the monster's attack. They dispersed in unison and attacked the monster's two sides at lightning speed.

Lu Xiuyuan swung the sword in his hand, and his spiritual power surged, turning into sword energy, and slashed fiercely at the tiger crystal beast's body. Although his movements were fierce, his strength was reduced due to his previous injuries, and his attack seemed a little powerless.

Wen Lingyue used her spiritual power as the core, releasing powerful spells one after another, aiming directly at the vital points of the tiger crystal beast. Her spells were incredibly powerful, and each spell carried destructive energy, causing the tiger crystal beast to feel tremendous pressure.

Upon seeing this, the tiger crystal beast roared angrily, and the scales on its body flashed with a cold light as it resisted the attacks of the two.

The Tiger Crystal Beast was not at all inferior to the attacks of Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue. It dodged between the two with ease. Every attack was quickly resolved by it, as if it was an invisible game in which it was the master. Although Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue's attacks were extremely fierce, they seemed powerless in front of the Tiger Crystal Beast's flexible body.

As the tiger crystal beast counterattacked, Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue fell into a passive defense. Every time the monster attacked, they had to dodge and had no time to counterattack. Wen Lingyue's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. She knew that if it continued, the situation of the two would become more and more dangerous.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Xiuyuan was anxious, but he suddenly thought of the "Secret Method of Taming Beasts". Perhaps this was a good opportunity to test it, so he decided to try the power of the "Secret Method of Taming Beasts".

He secretly took out the Secret Method of Taming Beasts and silently recited the spell in the book. A mysterious energy surged out of his body and merged into the surrounding air, forming a silent wave. Seeing this, Wen Lingyue couldn't help but look at Lu Xiuyuan curiously, secretly expecting something in her heart.

Lu Xiuyuan closed his eyes and focused on feeling the energy surging in his body. He tried to gather a force and let it resonate with the surrounding nature, so as to achieve communication with the monster.

As time went by, a strange atmosphere gradually spread. Wen Lingyue felt the change in the surrounding atmosphere, and she knew that Lu Xiuyuan was trying to use the "Secret Method of Taming Beasts".

Suddenly, Lu Xiuyuan felt a message from the tiger crystal beast. He seemed to be able to hear the beast's voice and feel its inner anxiety and uneasiness. This was an unprecedented experience, which filled him with shock and excitement.

Wen Lingyue was surprised to see the changes in Lu Xiuyuan. She knew that Lu Xiuyuan had successfully used the "Secret Method of Taming Beasts" to establish a special connection with the Tiger Crystal Beast.

Lu Xiuyuan seized this rare opportunity and tried to communicate with the tiger crystal beast. He used his mind to convey his intentions to the monster, trying to make it stop attacking and seek a way to coexist.

Although the communication process was extremely difficult, Lu Xiuyuan did not give up. He kept adjusting his thinking and tried to establish a relationship of mutual understanding with the monster. Wen Lingyue watched him quietly, full of admiration for his persistence and courage.

As time went by, Lu Xiuyuan gradually felt the changes in the tiger crystal beast's heart. It began to slow down the frequency of its attacks, as if it was thinking about something. This made Lu Xiuyuan happy, and he knew that his efforts were producing results.

Lu Xiuyuan tried his best to feel the breath surging in his body and the invisible force flowing in the air around him. In this world full of mysterious energy, he concentrated his mind and carefully sensed the flow of every breath.

Among the thousands of erratic air currents, he finally found the breath of the tiger crystal beast. This breath showed a strange white light mixed with black, full of a primitive and powerful breath.

Lu Xiuyuan tried to make his breath resonate with the breath of the tiger crystal beast, trying to use his energy to influence the monster's mood. He took a deep breath and concentrated all his mental power at this moment, hoping to feel the changes in the tiger crystal beast's heart.

As time went by, the tiger crystal beast seemed to feel Lu Xiuyuan's sincerity and kindness, and gradually calmed down. It stopped its previous attack, and a trace of vigilance and curiosity appeared in its eyes.

Lu Xiuyuan was secretly glad in his heart, he knew that his efforts had achieved certain results. The key now was to be able to maintain this peaceful state in order to find a way to coexist.

Wen Lingyue couldn't help but admire Lu Xiuyuan's efforts and persistence. She knew that this was not an easy task, but Lu Xiuyuan was not discouraged and kept trying to find a solution to the problem.

With the support and encouragement of Wen Lingyue, Lu Xiuyuan became more confident. He knew that only by communicating with the monsters could he find a way to calm the battle and achieve a win-win situation.

So, he continued to work hard, constantly adjusting his breath, trying to establish a deeper connection with the tiger crystal beast. This was an exploration of the power deep in his heart, and also an exchange and dialogue with nature and monsters.

As the tiger crystal beast's breath gradually calmed down, its huge body began to undergo incredible changes. Its originally majestic body, like a mountain, gradually shrank, and its black scales faded, revealing its golden spotted fur. Under the sunlight, the fur shone with a warm light, like a ball of shining gold.

The two eyes also changed. They changed from being fierce and cunning to being gentle and bright, like two yellow gemstones the size of goose eggs, emitting charming light.

Seeing the tiger crystal beast gradually become docile, Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel happy. He knew that this was exactly the result he had been striving for, and it was also the first step to coexist peacefully with the monster.

Taking advantage of the tiger crystal beast's calmness, Lu Xiuyuan took out the small bottle he carried with him without hesitation, which was filled with carefully refined spirit beast pills. These spirit beast pills were obtained during his cultivation and had a great tonic effect, which could increase the strength and wisdom of the monster beast.

He gently shook the vial, causing the spirit beast pills inside to make a crisp sound, and then threw several spirit beast pills one by one into the tiger crystal beast. These spirit beast pills turned into flashing lights and flew into the tiger crystal beast's mouth.

The tiger crystal beast opened its huge mouth, caught every soul beast pill, and then swallowed it. As the soul beast pill disappeared, its body radiated a powerful energy fluctuation, as if it was rejuvenated with new vitality.

Wen Lingyue looked at this scene and couldn't help showing a surprised expression. She didn't expect Lu Xiuyuan to be able to establish such a deep connection with the monster beast, and even use the spirit beast pill to resolve the hostility. This made her admire Lu Xiuyuan's cultivation and wisdom even more.

"Lu Xiuyuan, you are so awesome!" Wen Lingyue exclaimed, her eyes full of admiration and gratitude.

Lu Xiuyuan smiled and nodded. He knew very well the importance of living in peace with monsters. He also knew that only through friendly communication and cooperation could true harmonious coexistence be achieved.

As the Tiger Crystal Beast swallowed the last Spirit Beast Pill, its body changed again. Its fur became smoother and softer, and its body became more slender and flexible. It turned its head and looked at Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue with grateful eyes, as if expressing its gratitude and friendship to them.

Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue also felt the sincerity of this friendship, and they knew that this tiger crystal beast would become their loyal partner and assistant on their future journey. This was an unexpected adventure and an encounter of extraordinary significance.

Lu Xiuyuan was shocked by the power of "Secret Method of Taming Beasts". He did not expect that this book would have such magical power. This ferocious tiger crystal beast was actually tamed by him and no longer attacked them. This made him feel surprised and happy, and at the same time, he was full of confidence in his own path of cultivation.

He turned to Wen Lingyue and said, "This is not my personal ability, but there is no hostility between us and the tiger crystal beast. We just accidentally entered its territory, so it was so furious." He tried to explain it all and calm Wen Lingyue's doubts.

Wen Lingyue listened to Lu Xiuyuan's words and nodded with deep feeling. She understood what Lu Xiuyuan meant, and at the same time she admired his wisdom and mind. In this crisis-ridden situation, Lu Xiuyuan showed extraordinary calmness and courage, which made her evaluate him even higher.

Lu Xiuyuan continued, "The reason why the monsters in Beiya Cave came out in a rage is definitely because someone deliberately provoked them. These people just want to muddy the waters and take advantage of the situation to fish."

Wen Lingyue frowned slightly after listening to Lu Xiuyuan's analysis. She knew that what Lu Xiuyuan said was not unreasonable. The monsters in Beiya Cave suddenly rioted, and there must be some conspiracy behind it. These people may have ulterior motives and want to take advantage of the opportunity to create chaos in order to achieve some purpose.

"You're right." Wen Lingyue nodded, "We must find out the truth behind all this to avoid falling into greater danger."

Lu Xiuyuan looked at Wen Lingyue's determined eyes, and his trust in her doubled. He knew that only by working together with her could they better resolve the crisis and protect each other's safety.

Lu Xiuyuan knew that he was only one step away from truly taming the Tiger Crystal Beast, which was to sign a contract with the Tiger Crystal Beast and tame it as his own spirit beast. However, he was hesitant and opposed to this.

First of all, Lu Xiuyuan didn't want to cause unnecessary sensation and attention in this way. If the outside world knew about the matter of taming the Tiger Crystal Beast as a spiritual beast, it would inevitably cause an uproar and put himself in a more dangerous situation. Especially in the Spirit Beast Mountain, such an act might be regarded as a betrayal of the secret, which would lead to strong opposition and retaliation. Therefore, he hoped to handle this matter as low-key as possible and not cause unnecessary disturbance.

Secondly, the Tiger Crystal Beast was too powerful for Lu Xiuyuan. As a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training, his cultivation had not yet reached the level of matching a Level 2 demon beast. Signing a contract with a cultivator required both parties to be equally strong, otherwise the beast might disobey orders or even bite back at its master. Therefore, Lu Xiuyuan clearly realized that he had not yet reached the level of strength to control the Tiger Crystal Beast, and forcing the contract would only bring more trouble and danger.

Taking these factors into consideration, Lu Xiuyuan decided not to sign a contract with the Tiger Crystal Beast to subdue it for the time being. Instead, he planned to take a more cautious and prudent approach, first consolidating his own cultivation and improving his strength, and then seeking the possibility of reaching a cooperation with the Tiger Crystal Beast. He understood that this was not something that could be achieved overnight, and it would take time and effort to achieve. Therefore, he temporarily put this goal in mind and focused on dealing with the crisis and challenges at hand.
