(9) The first battle

The voice of the floater was soft, as if it was afraid of disturbing the creatures in the water, but when he finished speaking, the remaining three people, although they still did not sense the presence of other life, immediately assumed a defensive posture.

This place is not an ordinary place in the first place, and even if something doesn't make sense, it all makes sense. And if it was really as they deduced - the fierce beasts continued their lives by devouring their companions, then after so many tens of thousands of years, their cultivation should have been unfathomable. Even those low-level demon clans who have not yet opened their spiritual intelligence, relying on their survival instincts, will learn some predatory skills to some extent, and they are not only the only race that can compete with the ancient divine beasts, and it is simply easy to hide themselves in front of a few of their "young people".

In order not to cause unnecessary fighting, the four men had to slow down and carefully change the direction of travel, trying to get around the small lake. But before they could take a few steps, the lake, which had been calm, suddenly began to ripple from the center.

Not to mention that there is no sound of wind at this time, even the surrounding leaves have always been in a static state, not moving, but the lake seems to be blown by the wind, rippling constantly. The floater, who had been walking in front, was the first to notice this anomaly, and almost immediately regained his true form, and then, without even blinking an eye, swept the three of them far away with a sweep of his tail.

"Find a place to hide. ”

The floating voice was thick and low, with a bit of eagerness and panic, as if he wanted them to break the seal and leave here. However, the three of them were so dazed by this sudden change that they didn't even hear his tone. However, this did not have much effect, because when they established themselves, they immediately understood the reason why the float suddenly revealed its true body.

It wasn't a choice made by the float to get them out quickly, but a choice made by the float by instinct in the face of great danger.

Because at the moment when the float opened, the water in the lake suddenly swelled, and a fierce beast almost the size of the lake slowly appeared in the water.

"Woo......"

When the lake returned to calm, the beast stood in the void and roared to the sky, as if to celebrate its freedom.

The power of this long howl alone had already shocked the four outsiders who were resisting with all their might back several steps, and even the formation above him was induced, revealing the lines of the body. Seeing this, he immediately leaned down, picked up the three of them, and tried to fly away from here.

The beast sensed the movement, snorted violently, and then, at a speed that was extremely incompatible with its size, raised its claws, and pressed the float to the ground before it had time to escape.

This sudden change caused all four of them to fall to the ground hard, and compared to the floating, this beast did not spare any mercy, so although they did not fall injured, they were much more embarrassed than before. Then, before they could get up from the ground, the beast moved quickly, raised its other paw and slapped it at them.

Thanks to Xiuhe's experience in a hundred battles, he reacted quickly, and before the giant claw fell, he kicked Chenbei fiercely, and then rolled around twice with the help of holding the jade soul, so that he could avoid the attack of the fierce beast.

Chenbei, who was kicked by Xiuhe and almost broke his ribs, stood up and wanted to scold this Xiuhe Yitong who didn't like young people and only heavy colors, but as soon as he saw that the float was still pressed under his claws, he immediately gave up this idea and ran towards the float.

Xiuhe sensed Chenbei's intentions, and after glancing at Jade Soul Gui, he immediately joined forces and began to attract the attention of the fierce beast.

Probably felt that after being slapped by it, the floating line should have lost its mobility, so after Jade Soul Gui and Xiuhe threw a few small spells at it, it finally moved and began to chase the two of them with all its might.

When it shifted its attention to the two of them, Tatsubei also took the opportunity to run safely to the side of the float, trying to help the float aside to rest. It's just that in his current state, his head alone is half the size of his body, and it's not something he can lift at all. After several unsuccessful attempts to lift the float up, he said to the float with a sad face:

"Fourth uncle, can you turn into a human form, the way you are now, I really can't lift it. ”

"I ...... Ahem...... Water...... Water ......"

Fuxing, who was almost fainting, heard Chenbei's voice, used his last strength, and reluctantly said these words, and then completely lost consciousness. And Chenbei felt the head of the float sink, and the whole person almost cried.

"Fourth uncle, what do you mean, I don't understand, don't faint, what should I do if you faint? What water, what water, do I feed you water or throw you into the water, I can't lift you, I really can't lift you." ”

The two people who had been in a state of escape under the attack of the fierce beast saw that these two sides did not move at all, and almost wanted to raise the white flag and surrender. Xiu He was so angry that he pulled out five big trees in a row and transformed them into thick wooden nails, and set up a simple lock demon array in the shape of a five-star star, temporarily trapping the fierce beast for two seconds. And he took advantage of these two seconds to shout at Chenbei:

"Splash water, pour water on your fourth uncle, little rabbit cub. ”

Hearing Xiuhe's voice, Chenbei immediately put down his float and ran to the lake, and then bowed a handful of water and wanted to run back. Xiuhe almost vomited blood when he saw his action, but he really couldn't control the beast anymore, so he could only teleport to the back of the beast at the risk of being slapped by the beast, and shouted to Chenbei again:

"Little rabbit cub, where is your brain, are you going to splash us to death like this, how did you learn the water control technique, and how did the old guy from the Dragon King of the East China Sea teach you. ”

As soon as Xiu He finished roaring, the tail of the fierce beast swept in his direction. And because he was distracted, he didn't feel the movement of the beast, and when he realized that he was in danger, he had missed the best time to escape, and he could only suffer the blow of the beast.

As if under the power of a thousand jun, Xiuhe's whole person smashed directly to the ground, and the blood he spat out spurted out far away. Fortunately, he was born with the ability to heal himself, and after two or three seconds, the wound healed automatically, leaving no scars except for some pain.

Taking advantage of the Jade Soul Gui to divert the attention of the fierce beast, Xiuhe got up from the ground in embarrassment, and then shouted in the direction of Chenbei:

"Sooner or later, Lao Tzu will be killed by you little rabbit cubs. ”

After shouting these words, Xiuhe immediately moved to the side of Jade Soul Gui. Chen Bei was originally worried that something would happen to him, but when he saw the golden lines on his face, he understood that he was temporarily out of danger, so Chen Bei gave up the idea of helping the Jade Soul return, and immediately sat cross-legged and laid out the formation that the Dragon King of the East China Sea taught him when the White Snake Water flooded the Jinshan Temple.
