Chapter 117: The Shadow at the River Bottom
Among the crowd, the first person who was ready to cross the river was named Xu Zheng, who had been in the outer gate for eighteen years, and although he was a monk in the early stage of the Soul Martial Realm, he was the oldest of all people, and he was already forty-two years old.
According to this age, Xu Zheng came to the Heavenly Alliance at the age of twenty-four, compared to those monks who reached the Soul Martial Realm at the age of twelve or thirteen, he was a late bloomer.
"Today, I must enter the inner door!"
Xu Zheng was full of strength, jumped up, and when he was about to fall into the water, he tapped the river with his right foot, and rushed out of a distance, so as to go back and forth several times, and it was about to disappear into the center of the river, and the things under the river immediately dispersed.
"This Xu Zheng's light work is so good, he actually went to the river. ”
"I'll try it too!"
“......”
With Xu Zheng opening the way in front, those outer disciples were a little nervous and rushed out one after another.
Lin Mo's brows furrowed slightly, he stared carefully at the things under the river, and found that they were marching very fast, as if they were in a hurry to escape.
"It seems that these people are going to be finished...... Lin Mo sighed helplessly, although this place cannot use spiritual power, but the perception of spiritual power is not isolated, he can sense that there is a strong spiritual power fluctuation under the water.
Zhuo Zhen looked at the outer disciples who kept rushing forward, and asked suspiciously, "Boss, they won't really pass, right?"
Lin Mo shook his head and said with a solemn face: "It's hard to say, I always feel that there is something hiding under the river, although I don't know what it is, it should appear soon, let's prepare for it." ”
At this time, there were hundreds of people rushing to the river, and there were hundreds of people staying on the shore, one side was exploring the way, and the other side was observing, all of them looked cautious.
Just as Xu Zheng crossed the center of the river and ran towards the end of the river, a dark tide suddenly surged under the river, rolling up a tornado several meters high, blocking his way.
"A tornado also wants to block Lao Tzu's way, get out of the way!"
Xu Zheng shouted loudly and punched at the tornado, and the fierce fist exploded on the spot, and the tornado was scattered and turned into a little raindrop and fell on the surface of the river.
However, at this time, a huge black shadow appeared at the bottom of the river, almost occupying an area more than ten meters away.
Xu Zheng's pupils shrank, and he accelerated the speed of his feet, wanting to rush to the other side of the river.
But the black shadow under the river obviously wouldn't let him pass easily, and suddenly the wind was fierce, and dozens of tornadoes quickly formed, rushing towards Xu Zheng's position.
Xu Zheng couldn't care about anything else, so he could only use his fists and feet at the same time, using the wind power of the tornado to speed up his progress, and at the same time blocking the advance of the tornado with his fists.
The people who were rushing forward saw that Xu Zheng was stopped, and they all wanted to make a detour, but they were sucked up by the sudden tornado, and they didn't even have time to shout for help, and there was no movement.
When Zhuo Zhen saw this scene, he immediately became interested, "Boss, should we cross the river?"
Lin Mo let out a long breath of turbidity and said lightly: "Wait a little longer, I want to know what that black shadow under the river is, so I can have a countermeasure." ”
The black shadow under the river moved slowly, coming towards those who had just stepped out of the shore, and Xu Zheng relied on the strength of his physical body to rush out of a way and successfully reached the other bank.
The rest of the people were trapped by the tornado, some were swept into the bottom of the river and did not move, and some were so frightened that they fell directly into the water, and after a few flutters, they also sank.
The position of the black shadow was getting closer and closer, and the people who had just rushed out of the shore were all frightened and fell into the water immediately, and a few people were calmer and quickly retreated back to their original positions, so they were safe and sound.
"How can this river pass, it was swept away as soon as it fell into the water......"
“......”
Some of the outer disciples complained, and some wanted to withdraw from the assessment, but they didn't dare to rush out rashly when they didn't know who they were.
The black shadow stayed on the river for a while, and when he saw that no one had crossed the shore, he left, and when those outer disciples saw it, their original hearts were like ashes, and they were suddenly full of hope.
"That guy is gone, let's cross the river quickly!"
The disciple who spoke rushed out first, but what they didn't expect was that the black shadow suddenly surfaced, rushed out with a bloody mouth, and swallowed the disciple directly.
", a big sea turtle?" After Zhuo Zhen saw the black shadow revealing his true face, the whole person was not calm, this big sea turtle is too big, especially the sensitivity, which is not inferior to those big whales living in the deep sea.
Lin Mo was also shocked, the appearance of that turtle was very special.
In particular, the upper and lower jaws at the front end of the mouth are hooked, as sharp as an eagle's beak, and the dorsal armor shield is brown, and the thirteen shields are like thirteen hills undulating, arranged in vertical and horizontal rows, the edges of the dorsal armor have many protrusions like a jagged appearance, the eyes are long on both sides of the mouth, small and spirited, and there are many fleshy protrusions on the head and neck.
Although he only glanced at it, Lin Mo completely recorded the appearance of the turtle with his super memory, and now he felt a little chill down his spine when he thought about it, if he was bitten, he would not die.
"Hmph, little turtle, I've got you in for today!"
Seeing Lin Mo rush out of the shore with one footstep, Zhuo Zhen and the others immediately shouted, and even wanted to rush out, but they were stopped by Xu Hao.
"Senior Brother Zhuo, don't be impulsive, the boss didn't let us rush, there should be a reason for him. ”
"But ......"
Zhuo Zhen wanted to say something, but Lin Mo had already rushed into the river.
Lin Mo, who came to the bottom of the river, looked left and right, and it turned out that those black things were not monsters, but some fish with relatively black scales, as well as strange-shaped creatures, the kind that can only be seen in the sea.
When Lin Mo swam forward for a distance, he saw the huge and fierce-looking snapping turtle.
"Brother, give me a face, can I go with my friends?"
The big snapping turtle that was just about to make a move was confused by Lin Mo's sudden words, and the human in front of him could actually say their words.
"Who are you, how can you speak the language of my people? ”
"Huh...... Big brother, don't get excited, you're not the first demon beast to ask me that, some things can't be explained in a few words, why don't you come with me?"
Lin Mo looked at the big snapping turtle with a sincere face, he had already been impressed by its fierce appearance, it would be a pity if he didn't take it as his spirit beast.
"Hmph, it's really unashamed, a human in the Soul Martial Realm wants me to give in, I'm afraid you've drunk fake wine. ”
"Brother Turtle, you can't say that, although I am a monk in the Soul Martial Realm, I have something that ordinary people don't have. ”
The big snapping turtle snorted coldly, the river water surged, and Lin Mo blocked the churning river water with his Tiangang qi, and immediately laughed.
"Brother Turtle, if you have something to say, what conditions can you mention, anyway, I'm going to take you away today!"
"This place has been set a taboo, as long as the creatures living in this area, they must not leave half a step, otherwise they will explode and die!"
"Oh, that means you're willing to come with me as long as I break the taboo here?"
The smile on Lin Mo's face grew, and the big snapping turtle also nodded, and he was not as irritable as before.
"Don't think that the taboo here is very simple, even if a monk from the Emperor Martial Realm comes, he may not be able to break it, just ask you to be a monk of the Soul Martial Realm, it's just wishful thinking. ”
"As long as you are willing to follow me, it is just a taboo, it is not difficult for me. ”
The big snapping turtle ignored Lin Mo, turned around and walked back, preparing to block those outer disciples who crossed the river.
"Brother Turtle, remember what you promised me!"
Lin Mo didn't stop the big snapping turtle from leaving, what he had to do was to break the taboo here, so that the big snapping turtle would follow him.
It's just that Lin Mo doesn't know what the taboo here is, and he doesn't know where to set it, so he really has no place to start for a while.
"It seems that we have to consult the ancestor. ”
Lin Mo sat at the bottom of the river, protected Tiangang Qi on the surface of his body, then closed his eyes and entered his spiritual world.
"Ancestor, Ancestor, wake up, my grandson has something to ask you for help. ”
Lin Zhentian, who was asleep, heard Lin Mo's voice, slowly opened his eyes, and said lazily: "What, do you want to subdue that big snapping turtle?"
Lin Mo nodded and said with a smile: "You can't hide anything from the ancestor." ”
Lin Zhentian stood up, stretched his waist, and said lightly: "If you want to break the taboo in this cave, it is still a little difficult, after all, it is a taboo set by the monks of the Zongwu Realm, and ordinary people can't break it, and the heart of the taboo is on that big snapping turtle." ”
