Chapter 41: The Black Scale Python (1)
"Ning'er, the back must be more dangerous, you must follow me closely!"
Ling Xiao looked at Ouyang Ning'er's cute appearance and smiled helplessly.
At the same time, he reached out and took out a detailed layout map of the various beasts in the area issued by the academy from his arms, and now understand it to avoid encountering more ferocious beasts in the future.
A beast like a flaming jackal is as strong as a basic martial artist.
In front of Ling Xiao, he was really vulnerable.
Ling Xiao and Ouyang Ning'er walked all the way to the southeast for half an hour, crossing a big mountain.
During this time, it was attacked by dozens of different waves of beasts.
However, they were all low-level demon beasts, which were easily solved by Ling Xiao.
Just halfway down the mountain, the roar of the rolling rapids was heard not far ahead.
"Ling Xiao, there should be a river ahead!"
Ouyang Ning'er raised her eyebrows lightly and said towards Ling Xiao.
"Hmm!"
Ling Xiao nodded.
The two of them hurried down the hill.
A rushing river hundreds of meters wide is like a coiled dragon lying between two mountains.
The river is magnificent, the turbid waves are rolling, and the sound of the water is like thunder.
At this moment, the turbidity wave was like a giant dragon erupting its mouth, roaring and coiling into the air.
Bursts of mist suddenly rolled up on the surface of the river and dispersed.
A gentle breeze blew, and the billowing mist hit the face like a dark cloud, with a thick dampness.
"The Wild River?"
Ling Xiao stood on top of a boulder, looked around, and recognized the name of this raging river by comparing the layout of the area.
Manghuang River, which flows for tens of thousands of kilometers, is one of the largest rivers in Canglong Country and the main water source.
Water is the source of life.
Of course, where there is water, there must be a large number of wild beasts.
Ling Xiao immediately made up his mind that he would spend the next few days here.
"Ling Xiao, where are we going?"
Ouyang Ning'er looked at Ling Xiao with a smile on her face, and suddenly pursed her lips and asked.
"Ning'er, we're here, not going anywhere. ”
Ling Xiao turned his head sideways and smiled at Ouyang Ning'er.
"Huh?"
Ouyang Ning'er blinked her eyes a few times, as if she didn't understand Ling Xiao's words.
Seeing Ouyang Ning'er's puzzled expression, Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Ning'er, think about it, no matter what beast it is, do you have to drink water?"
"Hmm!"
Ouyang Ning'er nodded, and suddenly understood what Ling Xiao meant.
No matter what kind of beast, it will have to drink water, and instead of passively looking for it, it is better to wait here for the rabbit.
"Ling Xiao, you're so smart!"
Ouyang Ning'er exclaimed in surprise.
"Huh!"
Ling Xiao smiled indifferently.
The riverside is a place frequented by wild beasts, and it is also the most dangerous place in the whole difficult area.
Once surrounded by a group of beasts, even a strong person who has built a strength realm may fall here.
However, the idea of Ling Xiao's hot blood and impulsiveness...
If he was known, he would definitely be called a madman.
Ling Xiao did this just to train himself.
And the river is the best place to train yourself, constantly fight with wild beasts, gain more combat experience, and improve your strength.
During the ten-day trial, obtain enough beast cores and return to the Sword Sect to exchange for cultivation resources.
"Ning'er, we have to find a good place to attack and retreat, to avoid danger, and it will be too late to get out. ”
Ling Xiao thought for a moment and said to Ouyang Ning'er.
"Well, listen to you!"
Ouyang Ning'er didn't even think about it, so she nodded and replied with a smile.
And now following Ling Xiao's side, as a weak woman, she has to rely on Ling Xiao, a man, when she encounters things.
Besides, Ling Xiao is not shocked when he encounters trouble, he is thoughtful, and he feels very safe to be with such a man.
The two walked along the river, looking for a suitable place.
After walking along the river for more than ten kilometers, the sun sets, and the sky is half red.
Gradually, it became darker.
"Huh, this place is nice...!"
Ling Xiao saw a relatively flat riverside shoal in front of him, and his eyes lit up.
This shallow shoal is about hundreds of meters long and has an open view.
Further back is a dense mountain forest, stretching along with the reckless mountains.
This place is suitable for hiding and for escaping.
"Ning'er, right here!"
Ling Xiao thought about it for a while, and then took Ouyang Ning'er into the dense mountains and forests to investigate.
In the midst of dense mountain forests, the ground is dry and there are no decaying leaves.
Obviously, there won't be such a thing as ants, snakes, and insects here.
Suddenly, I found a strange rock in the dense mountain forest, which was as high as two people and as wide as one person.
Suddenly, a happy smile appeared on Ling Xiao's face.
Without hesitation, Ling Xiao took Ouyang Ning'er to the strange rocks and looked towards the shallows by the river, with an unobstructed view.
Just as Ling Xiao withdrew his gaze and surveyed the surroundings of the strange rocks.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that there were two cat holes that could accommodate you.
"Ning'er, let's settle down here!"
Ling Xiao pointed to the two cat holes and smiled at Ouyang Ning'er.
"Huh?"
Ouyang Ning'er was stunned for a moment, blinked her eyes and looked at the cat cave that could accommodate a person's body, and then smiled bitterly.
I really didn't expect that this trial test would have to drill holes.
"Hey!"
However, these two cat holes are an excellent place to stay.
You can not only observe the situation of the shallows on the riverside, but also get out of a crisis situation.
...
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
In two days.
When some low-level beasts appeared in the shallows by the river, Ouyang Ning'er took action to hunt them down, and Ling Xiao guarded them.
If he encountered some high-level beasts, Ling Xiao personally went out to kill them, while Ouyang Ning'er sat on the strange rock and watched the battle.
Of course, there were a few times when Ling Xiao chose the wrong target for Ouyang Ning'er, and almost caused Ouyang Ning'er to be seriously injured, but fortunately, he made a timely move to avoid serious consequences.
On the third day, the sun had just risen.
On the riverside shallows.
A black-scaled python with a body as thick as a wooden barrel and eight or nine feet long appeared, slowly crawling to the river.
The black-scaled python wagged its tail violently, slapping the ground at a galloping speed.
"Bang!"
In an instant, he got into the rolling waves, and suddenly it was like a thunderous sound, splashing dozens of waves, like a violent storm.
Behind the strange rocks, Ling Xiao and Ouyang Ning'er looked stunned and shocked.
Such a big python is definitely not an ordinary beast.
Ling Xiao's mind quickly flashed the beast layout map issued by the school, and suddenly the details of the black-scaled python quickly flashed.
The Black Scale Python, a three-star demon beast, is also the most dangerous monster in the difficult area.
Two inky fangs, which contain a lot of venom.
And it is good at catching and biting, once it is bitten, the venom will immediately inject into the body of the prey, and in less than a breath, it will spasm and die, becoming its belly.
Three-star demon beast, combat power is comparable to that of human Yang Dan realm martial artists.
"Bang!"
The river suddenly set off a huge wave.
The black-scaled python rushed out of the river, crossed a perfect arc in the air, and fell towards the river.
"Bang!"
“...”
Ling Xiao and Ouyang Ning'er blinked their eyes and looked at the river in a daze, the huge black-scaled python seemed to be frolicking in the river.
However, when the black-scaled python rushed out of the river, some river shrimp jumped in the spout.
In this way, the black-scaled python catches food in the river.
