The journey, which took two days, made them have to make some tents on the edge of the Forest.
Actually Ryu and his wife can still continue the journey, but considering that the group led by Shui Jila has been exhausted, Ryu and his wife choose to compensate them so as not to cause attention.
Inside the camp where Ryu who had sensed something was lurking around them from a distance swiftly created the Yin-Yang Tortoise Protector secretly.
" Gege's... What's up?" asked Xie Hua who saw Ryu look agitated.
" It's just a small matter... All I'm worried about are the Sect Disciples." Ryu went back into the camp.
The next morning Shui Jian's entourage resumed their journey without feeling any threat.
Ryu and his 23 wives had already sensed dozens of Tigers lurking around them.
" Prepare yourself!" Ryu opened his voice as he sensed the Aura getting closer.
" Ryu... What's up?" Shui Jian was astonished.
" From the left are some Tiger Claw Sword is heading over here." Ryu said in a flat tone.
" What? How could he possibly know.. " Murm the Disciples with a standby attitude.
" Ggooooaaarr" the Dozens of Tiger Claw Swords lunged towards the several Disciples.
" Craaash... Craashian... Craaash." The claws of dozens of Tiger Sword Claws tore through their skin.
" Yush." Ryu released the Great God Aura making the movements of the dozens of Tiger Claw Swords instantly slow down.
Sensing an extremely powerful Aura, the dozens of Tiger Claw Swords instantly lowered their heads and saluted Ryu.
Even their Leader was also extremely frightened with trembling legs as Ryu stared intently at him.
" A... Forgive us Great King." The leader of the Tiger Claw Sword estimated that the Aura released by Ryu was from their Great King.
Elder Jila, Shui Jian and the disciples rounded their eyes as the Sword Claw Tigers were extremely frightened towards Ryu.
" What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in the woods." Ryu sensed that something was amiss towards the Tiger Claw Sword.
Little did Ryu know that the Tiger Claw Sword had never disturbed Humans if their territory was not disturbed.
" Pardon the Great King... We're homeless and we haven't had five days of hunting." The Tiger Leader's Claw Sword broke out in cold sweat.
" What's Happening in Your House? " Tanya Ryu's.
" The Red-Scaled Serpent Queen and her followers had poisoned the river within the Forest. That's why we came out of the woods looking for a new place to hunt. " Say the Tiger Leader the Sword Claw.
" What do you say can be trusted? " Ryu's full of probes.
" Great King... We can prove it! But it's very dangerous there." Said the Tiger Leader of the Sword Claw.
" all right... I hold your word. Otherwise, I'll skin all of you." Ryu with a threatening tone.
" A... I could have sworn the Great King. We have never before bothered Men if they had not disturbed Our dwelling." Said the Tiger Leader The Sword Claw was trembling again.
" Ryu... Looks like the tiger didn't lie." Shui Jian ventured.
" Sister-in-law... How do you believe in these tigers?" Ryu asked, although he knew that the nature of the Tiger Claw Sword never bothered Humans if their territory was not disturbed.
" When we went on a mission, we never bothered them. Even the last time I've met this tiger, he didn't attack me." Shui Jian replied.
" Sister-in-law is certain that the Tiger in question is this Tiger?" Ryu again asked as he pointed at the Tiger Leader of the Sword Claw.
" Okay now you can go!" Ryu said then returned towards his entourage.
" Wait! You guys must be hungry? I'll give you some meat." Shui Jian threw a few pieces of Meat at the 23 Tigers.
" Thank you, sir. " The Tiger Leader of the Sword Claw was very happy then ate the meat with his subordinates.
" I want to give something to you too." Elder Jila also threw pieces of meat.
Getting such treatment made the Tiger Claw Sword Leader stare at his subordinates then turn his head towards Shui Jian.
" sir... If deigned. I will serve you." The Tiger Leader lowered his head before Shui Jian.
" A... Whahuh? Do you want to be my Contract Animal?" Asked Shui Jian.
" Right Sir... I am glad to serve you sir. I'm sure Master is a good man. " The Tiger Leader's Claw Sword was still lowered.
" all right... I'll do it!" Shui Jian threw a drop of his blood onto the Tiger Claw Sword's forehead then made a Soul Contract.
" Thank you Master" said the Tiger Leader of the Sword Claw.
" Well from now on I'll call you Lao Hu." Shui Jian was very pleased.
" It is with pleasure that Sir Sati." Lao Hu saluted.
" sir... Our leader has already had a New Master. We will follow our Leader and tie a soul contract with the person we have hurt." Say one of the Tiger Sword Claws that were beside Lao Hu followed by 21 other Tigers.
Hearing the words from the Tiger Sword Claws, the Disciples were overjoyed. Because owning a Contract Animal was the Dream of all Cultivators.
22 The disciples immediately chose each Tiger they made as a Contract Animal.
Now only Elder Jila was alone who did not get the part that made him smile wryly.
Qin Shuomei was very happy that his brother had obtained the Contract Animal. He also gave a pile of meat to all the Tigers.
That of course made the Sword Claw Tigers very happy.
" Elder Jila... You don't have to be sad. I'll promise to find a Contract Animal that suits you." Said Ryu who was aware of the attitude of elder Jila.
" ah... That's... That's okay Young Master." Elder Jila hid her disappointment.
" We better continue our journey now!" Elder Jila immediately led the group to continue the journey.
The Contract Beasts also instantly turned into light then entered into their Master's arms each forming a Tattoo.
Ryu immediately frowned when he saw Lao Hu enter into Shui Jian's forehead there was a light that formed a crescent moon.
'It turns out the demon has something special. I'm sure the case is the same as Chaizu' Ryu's.
The group also drove towards the Green River where in the area of the river now there is no sign of life at all.
" It's Weird... We'd better go down this river upstream." Said elder Jila.
After walking long enough down the river, there was a fight from a distance.
They also darted towards the fight that saw a Mountain Ape was fighting against dozens of Red Scales Serpents.
Being outnumbered, the Mountain Ape was overwhelmed and heavily injured by the poison and bite attacks of the Red Scales Snakes.
