Chapter 373: Unlucky Canglong
Ning Xiaoxian saw that it was soft, and he no longer embarrassed it, but just swam above its big head, and then rode to the neck of the dragon. The monster was round, its scales were slippery, and there was no place for her to hold it. She looked disapprehranted, then reached out and grabbed its open and closed cheeks, and pointed to the north.
Just now after she entered the water, she thought that time is precious now, and no matter how good her swimming skills are, she can't compare to the aborigines in this lake, so she simply caught this dragon to walk. No way, who called that among so many monsters, she only recognized Canglong?
If the big guy at her feet knew that he was caught for this reason, I don't know if he would have crashed headlong at the bottom of the lake.
It was not stupid, it saw that the creature pointed to the north several times, and understood her intentions, and immediately endured the huge itch on its cheeks, and began to swim in the direction she was pointing. After all, it has a streamlined body, and its speed is at least seven or eight times that of Ning Xiaoxian.
This is the method that Changtian discussed with her. The hidden stream has a very tight defense of the valley and the forbidden land, so since the land route is not feasible, let's switch to the water route, and still be able to sneak near the real body of the snake without knowing it. He remembered that the water network at the bottom of the lake was also criss-crossed, and if he traced it upstream, he could at least go deeper than 200 miles to the north, close to the middle of the snake's true body.
This flaw, the hidden stream itself is not unaware, but because it is located in the forest, there are no water monsters in the sect. In order to make up for this missing link, they stocked the waters with many monsters, many of which were rare species from ancient times. If someone else goes into the water, I'm afraid that it will be divided up within a few dozen breaths.
Then again. Even if the offender is so powerful that the demon beasts can't take it, they who have been trained will at least float to the water to ask for help from the hidden current, so a fake tiger like Ning Xiaoxian's stubborn fanged fox can pass the test. It's simply not within the imagination of the hidden current.
"I'm smart, right? With this guy on the line, we'll save at least an hour's time!" she said triumphantly. Changtian knew her temper, praised dotingly, and then said, "Stop, to the right!"
To the right, it had already left the Blue Lagoon and entered the underground waterway, so she was confident and bold to pick up the glowing grass and light it forward. Seeing that there was only a waterway on the left and black rock and earth on the right, where was the road? So the hand on the dragon's cheek made a cameo turn to the rudder, forcing it to swim to the right.
Canglong wondered, the avenue in front of him on the left was not straight, and he rubbed it against the wall on the right, but the temporary owner on his body was in a hurry. It gritted its teeth. Shaking his huge body, he arched against the wall one by one.
Didn't you have enough to eat, just such a little strength? Ning Xiaoxian was displeased, and he added strength to his hands. Canglong was excited, and his head slammed into the rock wall.
There was a dull "buzz", and its head was smashed, but the earthen wall in front of it also fell many small rocks, which seemed to be loose.
It works!
Changtian explained: "The waterway on the left leads directly to the head of the snake's real body. At this time, most of the people in the hidden stream stayed at the head and tail of the snake to investigate the situation. Wouldn't you be caught if you sent it up automatically? There was originally a road on the right, but then a flash flood drove mud and sand down. Blocked the waterway on the right. You can make this dragon open it, and you can swim to the middle of the snake's body!"
Ning Xiaoxian drove Canglong and shook his head and tail again. This big guy has lived for more than 2,000 years, and he has a lot of horsepower and strength. This impact even made it possible to feed. Before its mortal body crashed into the rock wall, it thought to itself that this man had taken the dragon's life too seriously, and if it didn't work out this time, it would turn around and flee upstream, and would rather die at the hands of the female dragon than stay here as a coolie any longer.
Fortunately, this time, God finally heard its heart's prayer. There was another muffled sound, although this impact was more violent than the last time, but the head of the Canglong seemed to have pierced a layer of eggshell, and the stones and sand that had been silted for tens of thousands of years were hit by its brute force, and exploded violently, revealing a round hole with a diameter of three meters!
Looking through the opening, there is indeed a quiet waterway.
After all, it was just blocked by mud and sand, and the structure was relatively loose, and Canglong's head only hit a big hole. Without waiting for Ning Xiaoxian to urge, Canglong, who had just recovered from his dizzy state, rushed hard and plunged into this waterway. It was huge, but the hole was too small, and it squeezed twice harder before it squeezed through, and by the way, the hole was enlarged by a small half.
The rest of the journey was quite smooth. With Changtian's guidance, Canglong swam through one cave after another in the water, one dark passage after another, sometimes swimming close to shallow water, she could even hear the subtle movements from the shore, and she didn't know if it was a demon soldier or an ordinary beast walking. She had to bend down and cling to the dragon.
They are going up against the current, and it stands to reason that it is still quite difficult, but fortunately, the body of an ancient beast like Canglong is abundant, and this rapid march took less than half an hour. The sky in the east is getting brighter, the brocade scales swimming in the water, and the aquatic plants are lightly blowing, which is a beautiful scenery, but she is not in the mood to appreciate it at all.
When they passed a gentle whirlpool, they came across a group of strange small fish. Of course, this "small" character is relative to the size of the dragon, in fact, each of these fish has the length of her arms, large eyes, and red abdomen. They had been quietly staying at the bottom of the water, drifting with the current, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep, but when the dragon entered the water, its muscles were visibly tense, and it actually swam a few steps backwards cautiously, trying to get around the group of fish.
What kind of fish is this, so that Canglong, who seems to be not afraid of heaven and earth, also has to use difficult actions such as swimming backwards to avoid?
"This is a piranha, cannibalism and demon eaters, and of course ancient beasts. In the case that there are enough of them. Changtian gave her popular science unhurriedly. There are at least more than 2,000 piranas in this group in front of you, which should be considered a "sufficient number", right?
Although the dragon's movements were gentle, the little bit of bloody gas coming out of its wound still alarmed the piranha. A few of them suddenly turned their heads, as if they saw something delicious, and opened their mouths in unison. At this moment, she finally saw that the mouth of the piranha could open to one hundred and eighty degrees, and there were dozens of teeth inside, each of which was as sharp as a razor, and it was obviously a sharp weapon that could cut the strip of meat off the bone. The rest of the sleeping companions were also immediately awakened, and the whole school of fish hurrahed and rushed here.
I have to say that more than 2,000 piranhas smacked their mouths and gritted their fangs to a creak, and this scene was scary enough. If Canglong is the only one here today, even if it has rough skin and thick flesh and swims fast, it will be difficult to please it. Luckily, it kept in mind that there was a woman beside him who could make a big move, so it hid behind her very unpleasantly.
Ning Xiaoxian glanced at this guts dragon, stretched out his hand, the fangs were already in his hand, and the next moment was exuding terrifying divine might.
This kind of indiscriminate attack once again frightened the dragon to death, but thinking that the piranha was also facing such a danger, it immediately felt that the pain on its body was not so unbearable.
The school of piranhas, which was originally huddled together, suddenly encountered such a fright, and scattered in an uproar, and then never reunited. But this kind of strange beast with a small body swims fast, and it is said to be cunning by nature, Ning Xiaoxian was afraid that he would be attacked by them, so this time he pinned his fangs to his waist and hid them.
She still underestimated the deterrent effect of the snake Shenwei on the water tribe,
The rest of the road was peaceful, no more foreign objects came to intrude, and she finally arrived at her destination.
She poked her head out of a pool of water below a waterfall and saw the beauty of the water flowing three hundred feet straight down. No matter how capable Canglong was, he couldn't jump to a height of 300 feet, so the waterway ended here.
She gently stroked Canglong's head, took out an elixir and fed it to it, only then did she release its cheeks and let it leave on its own. She is particular about the distinction between grievances and grievances, and without the help of this dragon, her plan tonight will take a lot of effort, so what she gives it is an elixir that can be regarded as a great tonic for monsters or strange beasts. This fellow, who has lived for more than 2,000 years, naturally knows well, and looks at her with eyes that are bigger than her head, and the grievances in them are replaced by gratitude.
She swam to the shore and poked her head out to make sure there was no movement around her before re-ashore. The roar of the waterfall here is like thunder, and it can hide her whereabouts very well, and the next thing is up to her own ability.
Here, it is only fifty miles away from the true body of the snake. At her speed, she usually only needs a cup of tea. But now, she's on the territory of the Hidden Stream.
Ning Xiaoxian hunched up and walked quickly through the dense jungle.
The wind could be heard in the woods blowing the blades of grass, the murmur of autumn insects, and the occasional beast roar, but not any sound of her advance. Those who travel a hundred miles, half ninety. Victory was in sight, and she should be doubly careful not to let her work go to waste.
At this moment, she will see the subtle knowledge of the exercises to run wholeheartedly, and the direction of every leaf falling and every drop of dew condensing within ten zhang around her are "seen" in her eyes, and re-analyzed and composed in her heart. The distance and posture of each step she took were calculated with the utmost precision, leaving no footprints on the damp and soft soil of the early morning, nor rustling the lonely blades of grass, not even a trace of breath.
In this green forest, she is like a ghost, silently appearing and disappearing.

The mantis demon wakes up at this time of the morning. Unlike regular yokai, it prefers to sleep at night and be active during the day. Although after its cultivation is successful, it does not need to rely on killing to obtain energy, and since it is located in the Ba Snake Mountain Range, every time it stays here, it will find that its cultivation has deepened. But if the days are too leisurely, you will get tired and bored. (To be continued......)
