Chapter 228: Meet Tiger Jiao Again
Following the downstream of the mountain stream, Li Mang really saw a lot of blood stains floating on the surface of the stream, but it could not be ruled out that it was floating down from the upstream.
A few hundred meters down, there is a large lake in front of you. The lake is vast and difficult to see the bottom, Li Mang saw a large area of blood on the surface of the water, as well as the hair of the rhinoceros, some skin and flesh scattered on the water, and was being snatched by some strange fish.
Seeing these things, Li Mang was already sure that the corpse of the Tongtian rhino was under the lake, but he didn't know what kind of water beast dragged it so far.
"Poof!"
Li Mang didn't think much about it, so he plunged into the water, judged the direction by the concentration of blood, and began to search. Cultivating the Xuanwu Sutra, he is good at water, and it seems that he is an innate ability, and he is equal to winning or losing compared to the fish swimming in the water.
The increasingly strong smell of blood made Li Mang understand that he had not found the wrong direction, and he could also see with the naked eye that there seemed to be two black shadows wriggling at the bottom of the lake in front of him.
"What exactly?" Li Mang touched his chin and thought about it, but he couldn't think of the result, so he swung his feet and continued to swim forward.
Soon, the thief appeared in front of Li Mang, but he was stunned.
This creature is actually not unfamiliar to Li Mang, because he has encountered it before, but not in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but in the realm of the real world.
The body of the fish is covered with dragon scales, a snake tail, and a tiger head.
Yes, it was the tiger Jiao, and at this time it was feasting on the corpse of a rhinoceros that reached the sky, and it looked so unhappy.
But this tiger Jiao is not the other tiger Jiao, when he met that thing in the ghost lake, not only is he skinny as phosphorus, but his strength is also seriously degraded, but the head in front of him is different, the whole body is meat, and the length is five or six meters. From afar, it's a behemoth.
The tiger's mouth was closed one by one, and the tough body of the Tongtian rhino was torn apart directly, and then Ru Mao drank blood and chewed, which seemed to be very leisurely and happy.
"Roar!"
After all, Tiger Jiao is not a weak ancient beast, but it still quickly discovered Li Mang, and the disturbance in the meal made it roar angrily, and at the same time looked at Li Mang fixedly with the big eyeballs of the lantern, and did not move, this was the posture before the attack.
Li Mang also stared at the similarity with it, he understood. This is not a tiger Jiao whose strength is seriously degraded in the real world, but a guy who lives in the primordial world and has terrifying strength.
"Roar!" The tiger Jiao roared suddenly, and his huge body quickly rushed towards Li Mang, and the tiger's mouth was wide open. Two rows of sharp teeth are exposed. Even though it was in the water, Li Mang could still see two rows of teeth flashing with silver edges.
"Drink!" Li Mang burst into tears. The Water Demon Fist has taken shape. Cast in the water. Not only was the Water Demon Fist not disturbed in the slightest, but it was more comfortable and more powerful.
The tiger Jiao seemed to sense the threat of the Water Demon Fist to itself, and it was vigilant by nature, and it immediately stopped its body, just swept its tail towards Li Mang.
"Poof!"
"Bang!"
Li Mang was knocked out of the jaw by the huge force, and his palms ached faintly. But he didn't suffer a loss, Tiger Jiao's bowl of thick tail met his water demon fist head-on, the scales on it had been blown open, and the wound was bloody and fleshy. The pain made it angry.
"Whew!!"
The tiger roared angrily, the nearby lake was stirred up by it, the bottom of the lake was turbulent, Li Mang had to temporarily retreat to avoid its anger, if one was accidentally swept up by its body, even if it did not die, it would be seriously injured, how dare Li Mang be careless.
"Roar!"
The tiger Jiao soon slammed over again, and fought with Li Mang crazily, but this time it was no longer big, and it was cautious in the madness, and it no longer collided with Li Mang's water demon fist head-on, and even dodged it immediately when it saw the water demon fist, which shows that the spirit is not low.
And although Li Mang didn't take out the spirit sword, with the Water Demon Fist and the flexible underwater action, he was able to fight with the Tiger Jiao on a par with the tiger Jiao, stirring the bottom of the lake into darkness, and the battle was quite fierce.
Seeing that he couldn't attack for a long time, Hu Jiao suddenly felt a little anxious, and after dodging Li Mang's Water Demon Fist, he suddenly opened his mouth, but instead of roaring, he spit out something.
It's a water arrow!
This tiger Jiao actually knew how to cast spells, which was beyond Li Mang's expectations.
Although Li Mang quickly made a dodge, he was still chased by a stream of water, and when he was in danger, he could only turn on the Xuanwu defense, and his skin turned into a black tortoise shell in an instant.
"Bell!"
With the sound of metal impacting, Li Mang felt a faint pain in his waist, and his body fell back a few meters, but that's all.
"It's fine!" Li Mang was glad, he didn't want to have an extra hole in his body. This Xuanwu defense was the first combat test, and although it was a bit reckless, the defensive effect was satisfactory to him.
"Poof! Burst! ……”
A few more sounds of breaking water came into Li Mang's ears, but this time he was vigilant, so as not to fall into passivity again, as long as he was smart, the water arrows sent by the tiger Jiao were actually impossible to dodge.
But it's not a way to hide all the time, relying on the extremely strong defensive ability of Xuanwu defense, Li Mang is a master of art and bold, and when he finds an opportunity, he takes the opportunity to get closer, and after carrying two water arrows to attack, the spirit sword suddenly appeared in his hand, and immediately stabbed at the tiger Jiao.
"Roar!" The tiger roared angrily, but it was shocked, but it had lost the opportunity to dodge because it did not expect the weapon to suddenly appear in the human hand.
"Poof!"
The spirit sword was inserted straight into the head of the tiger Jiao, and the sword body more than one meter long was completely submerged, almost penetrating the head of the tiger Jiao.
The tiger Jiao struggled a few times, but its brain was fatally damaged, and although it was a powerful ancient beast, it gradually lost its strength to struggle, and gradually sank to the bottom of the lake with Li Mang.
The originally turbulent bottom of the lake returned to calm at once, Li Mang pulled out the spirit sword from the corpse of the tiger Jiao, and then came to the half-eaten corpse of the Tongtian rhinoceros. He didn't care about any of this, because the rhino horn in the middle was still there, and he only needed this.
Cutting off the horn with the spirit sword, Li Mang returned to the tiger Jiao, grabbed its tail and went upstream. The meat of Tongtian rhinoceros is not suitable for consumption, because it is too rough, but this tiger Jiao is different, last time it was boiled into medicinal food by the ghost doctor, the taste is still unforgettable, not to mention that this tiger Jiao has not degenerated, the taste will be better, and the flesh essence is more vigorous, how could Li Mang miss it, and the waste is shameful......
Li Mang thought so brazenly, but he didn't pay attention to those corpses that reached the sky, and he didn't realize that he was wasting it.
Although the meat of Tongtian Rhino does not taste good, it is an ancient beast that can absorb the aura of heaven and earth after all, and its flesh and blood essence is actually an excellent tonic for Lang, but the taste is not good, and when it encounters excellent ingredients such as tiger Jiao, it was ruthlessly abandoned by Li Mang.
After a lot of effort, Li Mang brought the big guy weighing hundreds of pounds ashore, and he was not in a hurry to move it, so he lit a fire on the shore directly, set up a simple stove, and planned to have a feast, which was regarded as a reward for himself after a few fierce battles
