Chapter 172: Xenomorphs

It is inconvenient to speak underwater, and it is inevitable to drink dirty water with one mouth, and you can only communicate with gestures or sounds. Zhao Zheng heard Zihuan's applause, guessed that he might have made a discovery, his heart jumped, and he immediately swam over.

Zihuan beckoned to Zhao Zheng, and then pointed to her feet. There was a depression in it, which was full of all kinds of aquatic plants, and three of them were the most peculiar, shaped like lotus flowers, very short, clinging to the ground, and the lotus plates and leaves were black.

Zhao Zheng looked at it intently and recognized that this was the Moyu Nine Seed Lotus, and he found three plants at once! He was overjoyed, and hurriedly pounced on it, leaning closer to watch.

Two of these three black jade nine lotus plants are very large in size, and they have all grown up, each with nine black pearl-like black lotus seeds on the lotus plate, and one is relatively small, not much bigger than a palm, and there are only four black lotus seeds growing on it, and it is still some years away from growing.

Only after the black lotus seeds that are born after the black lotus seeds that are born have medicinal effects, the black lotus seeds that have not grown into them not only have no effect, but have a certain toxicity and have no value.

Zhao Zheng turned around and gave Zihuan a thumbs up as a sign of encouragement, then turned back and reached out to grab the two grown Moyu Nine Seed Lotuses. Just as his hand touched the lotus plate of the Moyu Nine Seed Lotus, there were suddenly two rapid sounds of gold and iron clashing around him, and then there was an undercurrent of ill-intentioned surging at the bottom of the lake.

"Ding! Bite! ”

The sound was heard far away at the bottom of the lake.

At the same time, the Zichu Sword beside Zhao Zheng also had a strange appearance, and the sword body shook and made a buzzing sound.

Zhao Zheng raised his vigilance. Withdrew his hand. I looked in the direction where the crunch came from.

It turned out that the crisp sound was made by the sword slave using the sword bodies of two swords to collide. The purpose is to warn Zhao Zheng and the two of them and remind them that an uninvited guest is coming.

In the depths of the lake, an undercurrent grows stronger and stronger from far to near. In the undercurrent, a fish-shaped black shadow emerged, the exact size of which is not clear for the time being, but at least it is the size of an old cow!

There shouldn't be any other monsters in this water, and this uninvited guest must be the famous ghost fish!

I don't know if it was the movement of the three of them or the applause from Zihuan that alarmed the ghost-headed fish. Led it over.

Zhao Zheng was only stunned for a moment, but he was not afraid, he calmly grabbed the Zichu sword floating beside him, raised the sword and concentrated, and waited for the ghost head fish to come and send him to death.

The ghost head fish suddenly increased its swimming speed, drew a waterline in the water, and rushed towards the nearest sword slave, which was really the most wrong choice. After rushing closer, everyone finally saw its full picture, and it deserved to be called a ghost head fish. The head looks like a demon, and the head of the fish is pitted. It suddenly appeared heavy, and the slightly open mouth was full of sharp teeth, and the depths of the mouth showed a scarlet color.

The sword slave was not afraid at all, his hands were pinched into fingers, and he pointed hard at the ghost fish. The two swords hanging beside him struck out, turning into two cold rays and stabbing at the head of the ghost fish together!

Listening to the two popping sounds, two clumps of blood appeared on the head of the ghost fish, and it shook its head and tail in pain, shaking the bottom of the lake. Because the head fish's skull was very hard, the two swords did not completely pierce it, but stuck it fiercely.

Seeing that these two swords failed to kill the ghost head fish, the sword slave was a little surprised in his heart, and his two hands turned up, controlling the two swords to pull out the head of the ghost head fish, and then fell again, controlling the two swords to stab down again.

The two swords increased their strength, but because the ghost head fish was churning around, they failed to stab the place, one sword pierced into the air, and the other sword stabbed the ghost head again. The head of the ghost head fish is a little harder than a stone, and it is the strongest part of the body, and it is difficult to use stingers like this.

Zhao Zheng saw that the sword slave's battle was unlawful, so he grabbed Zichu's sword and swam over to help, swam all the way to the ghost head fish, and aimed the sword in his hand at the ghost head fish, staring at it. The ghost head fish tossed wildly with the sword on its head, and suddenly swam in one direction. Zhao Zheng seized the opportunity and stabbed the sword out suddenly, and a golden sword qi pierced through the bottom of the lake, hitting the mouth of the ghost head fish and stabbing it fiercely.

No matter how hard the body surface of the ghost head fish is, it must still be soft in its mouth, and this sword qi pierced directly to the bottom and hit its vital point. It stopped suddenly, its body swayed violently twice, and the tail of the fish drooped down, completely unmoving.

Seeing that the ghost head fish was dead, the sword slave made a move and brought back the sword inserted in the fish's head.

Zhao Zheng gestured to the sword slave, and then swam back to the depression at the bottom of the lake, plucked the two mature black jade nine seed lotuses, and stuffed them into the big bag that had been prepared early in the morning. The Moyu Nine Seed Lotus that had not grown up had no medicinal effect, and it could not be cultivated artificially, so he did not move, and let it stay at the bottom of the lake to continue to grow, benefiting future generations.

There may also be other Moyu Nine Seed Lotuses growing around here, and the three of them continue to search for them at the bottom of the lake. However, Moyu Jiuzilian didn't find it, but there were more ghost head fish that were attracted by the bloody qi, first one came, and then two at once. The first one was killed by the sword slave who learned Zhao Zheng's technique and stabbed him in the mouth with a double sword. The latter two Zhao Zheng and Zihuan shared one by one, and they were both killed like the same kind in front of them.

Zhao Zheng had run out of air in his stomach at this time, and he couldn't continue to look for it, so he could only make a gesture to the two of them to swim up and return to the lake together. He exhaled the turbid air from his stomach on the surface of the lake, and took a few big breaths of fresh air into his stomach, which finally relieved the feeling of suffocation.

"Zhao Zheng, take out the Moyu Nine Lotus you picked and show me, I've only heard of this kind of treasure before, and I've never seen it with my own eyes." The sword slave flew and stood on the water, stretching out his hand at Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng couldn't do volley levitation, so he could only continue to soak in the water. He untied the bag tied around his waist, opened the mouth of the bag, took out the Moyu Jiuzilian inside, and handed it to the sword slave and Zihuan respectively for the two to see.

The two of them took the black lotus plate and looked left and right, and also raised their noses and smelled it twice, and found that this plant was fragrant, very good, and really had something extraordinary.

Zihuan loves money like her life, and she also knows a little about the prices of all kinds of treasures, and shook the Moyu Jiuzilian in her hand. smiled: "The price of this medicinal material is not low. Just one black lotus seed can sell for tens of thousands of taels of snowflake silver. And there are a lot of people rushing to buy it. ”

"There are too many despicable villains on the rivers and lakes, and these people love to use poisoning to harm people, which is why this antidote is so hot." Zhao Zhengdao.

"The magic is one foot high and the road is one foot high, and there is an antidote to poison, and the things on the rivers and lakes are really wonderful."

"Hopefully we don't have a day when we don't have these antidotes."

"I hope so." Zihuan returned the Moyu Nine Zilian to Zhao Zheng, turned her gaze back to the bottom of the lake, and proposed, "You can't miss it when you pass by." These Moyu Nine Seed Lotuses are so precious, we went down and turned around, but we couldn't catch a few more. ”

"The yield of Moyu Nine Seed Lotus is very small, it is a blessing to be able to pick two plants, it is better not to have too much hope, let alone find a few more plants, even if you find one or two more plants, it will be considered lucky." Zhao Zheng shook his head and said.

"I feel like I'm lucky today, and it's okay to go down and bump it." Zihuan took a deep breath and took the lead in plunging back into the water.

The trio went into the water a second time and returned to the vicinity of the previous depression. Conduct a search in the surrounding area.

At this time, the dead ghost head fish had already sunk to the bottom of the lake, and the blood from the wounds had also floated into the lake. It makes the surrounding lake smell of blood. This smell of blood is undoubtedly very tempting for other ghost head fish.

Not long after the three of them searched, the surrounding lake suddenly became agitated, and several undercurrents surged violently, violently impacting the bodies of the three people, causing them to deviate from their original swimming direction. The strength of this undercurrent far exceeded the undercurrent set off when the ghost head fish swam just now.

The sword slave controls the two swords to collide at the bottom of the lake, giving a warning.

Zhao Zheng clenched Zichu's sword and was on guard. Judging from the strength of the undercurrent, there must be a lot of ghost head fish attacking this time, at least three.

This blood-stained lake is not very big, and it can't support too many ghost head fish, and after killing these three, it is estimated that the ghost head fish at the bottom of this lake will be extinct. If this is the case, it will benefit the people here, and no one will be eaten by the ghost head fish.

Just when Zhao Zheng was thinking wildly, the undercurrent became even more turbulent, and the bottom of the lake was like boiling water, surging endlessly, rising and falling. This means that the danger is getting closer and closer to the three of them.

In the dark water, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared, and its volume was three times larger than that of a scalper. What's even stranger is that no matter how you look at it, this black shadow is just a whole, not three ghost-headed fish swimming in parallel!

Zhao Zheng looked at the black shadow, and sighed in his heart, feeling that something was wrong.

Sure enough, after the black shadow approached, it revealed its true face, and it turned out to be just a lone ghost-headed fish, not three ghost-headed fish! This ghost head fish is bigger than the three ghost head fish combined, no wonder it has the power to turn the river and the sea. This ghost head fish is clearly beyond the normal size of the ghost head fish, and it appears to be a freak xenomorph in this population.

There must be a difference between this world and the earth, and there is a certain chance that wolves, insects, tigers, and leopards will emerge as freaks, either larger than usual, or more ferocious than usual. Even people in this world may have this situation, and a strange person who is very different from normal people will come out.

The xenomorphs that emerge from the beasts and monsters are often much more powerful than their ordinary counterparts, which can be seen from the huge size of this ghost-headed fish.

How strong this ghost-headed fish alien is, even Zhao Zheng didn't know the bottom in his heart, and before he was sure, he could only temporarily avoid the edge and swim to the side.

The sword slave cultivated to a high level, and had a divine blade in his hand, so he was not frightened by the figure of the ghost head fish xenomorph, but still controlled the double sword to attack, and used one sword to pierce the big mouth of the ghost head fish xenomorph, and used another sword to seal the way of the ghost head fish xenomorph.

The speed of these two swords was fast enough, but it happened that the ghost head fish made a diving action, and it was able to dodge these two swords. The sword slave's fingers twisted, and he used his internal force to drag the two swords to change direction, and stabbed at the ghost fish again, but the head was all pierced on the extremely hard scales, and it didn't work at all.

The ghost head fish shook its head and tail, shook its body, and rushed towards the sword slave, opening its bloody mouth. Its mouth was full of yellowish fangs, the largest of which was the length of ivory, enough to tear a person in half if it were to bite into a person.

Facing the big mouth, the sword slave still looked the same, calmly took off the sword box, aimed it at the big mouth in front of him, slapped the side of the sword box, and released the swords hidden inside. In this attack, he used almost all the swords in the sword box, but he did not release the general's sword, and kept this sword to press the bottom of the box.

A sword turned into a long rainbow, swishing into the big mouth of the ghost fish, some hit the fangs, some hit the head, only three swords successfully stabbed the flesh in the mouth.

If it were replaced by an ordinary ghost head fish, it would be enough to be pierced by these three swords. But this ghost-headed fish even had the meat in its mouth hard, and it even resisted the stabbing of the three swords, and although it was injured, it was not killed on the spot, showing terrible vitality.

The ghost head fish became more vicious when attacked, and continued to sprint towards the sword slave, stirring up a wave of undercurrent.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the sword slave kicked the water with both feet, and two internal forces exploded under his feet, pushing him up sharply, narrowly avoiding the terrible blow of the ghost head fish.

Zihuan had been holding the keel whip on the side, and seeing that the sword slave was in danger, she violently swung a whip towards the inevitable trajectory of the ghost head fish, but the result was a little slower than the ghost head fish's swimming speed, and only drew the tail of the ghost head fish. The whip struck down several fleshy scales, each the size of a shell.

The ghost head fish swooped into the air with a blow, opened and closed its big mouth, and bit the three swords in its mouth twisted and twisted, one sword fell from the wound and fell to the bottom of the lake, and two swords were swallowed alive by the ghost head fish!

The sword slave lost his composure just now, his face changed slightly, he suddenly clasped his hands together, and used his internal force to hold all the swords at the bottom of the lake, pulling them all to his side. He put these swords into the sword box one by one, leaving only a high-grade sword in his hand.

It looks fancy with the internal force of the sword, but the power is very limited, and if the martial artist exerts his greatest strength, he still has to swing the sword with his own hands. The sword slave grabbed the sword with his hand, which meant that he did not dare to despise the beast that disturbed the bottom of the lake.

Through the hand-to-hand encounter between the sword slave and the ghost head fish alien just now, Zhao Zheng probably figured out the strength of this thing and knew it in his heart.

This ghost-headed fish has rough skin and thick flesh, and it is basically impossible to kill it in one fell swoop, so it can only create more wounds and consume its life little by little.

Zhao Zheng made up his mind, shook the Zichu Sword in his hand, and let out a clear sound. He motioned to his two companions with a loud voice, indicating that he planned to rush over to find the ghost head fish for a bloody battle, and let the two companions weigh up when they got off the hook, so as not to hurt him by mistake. The sword has no eyes, let alone at the bottom of this dark lake, this kind of reminder is very necessary.

The other two glanced at Zhao Zheng when they heard the sound, pressed the blade in their hands, and swam to Zhao Zheng's side, without making any rash moves.

Zhao Zheng swung his legs, drew a water line at the bottom of the lake, and boldly rushed towards the ghost head fish. (To be continued......)
