The captain of the Third Guard was a strong man named Hong Da, the same size as Bai Quan and Ren Hong, with a slightly round face, but thick eyebrows and big eyes, and it was not difficult to see from his glowing mental state and rapid movements that he was also a spiritual guard.

When the commander named Hongda learned that there might be a hundred crocodiles in front of him, his face showed not worry but joy, and his expression was very similar to Wu Yi, as if he had seen a golden mountain.

Not only Hong Da and Wu Yi, but the rest of the guards also had red lights in their eyes.

Cheng Yifan and they knew that this group of people must be going for the spirit yuan on the crocodile.

Here's the rule: "Whoever kills the prey owns whom." ”

Due to overhunting, the ferocious beasts here are now on the verge of extinction. Although they didn't know why there were more than 100 crocodiles all of a sudden, more than 100 crocodiles were not enough for their group. On the contrary, if they are lucky, they can still get a lot of spirit yuan.

Perhaps because the temptation of Lingyuan was too great, this group of guards advanced very fast, and they had the momentum of "for fear of being robbed by others". In the blink of an eye, they had advanced nearly two kilometers in front of the south, and this place was also the search range of Du Sangui.

"The breath is gone here!" Hong Da and Wu Yi, who were at the front of the team, suddenly stopped. The hundred-person team, although scattered forward, but the basic formation was still there, and everyone was not far away, so naturally they all discovered this situation.

This wetland forest is basically the same as the place where Cheng Yifan stayed before, and the terrain and vegetation are basically the same. They are all silver-leaved trees about two meters high, but there are obviously many more puddles in this forest than before. Except for the occasional half-exposed artemisia grass in the forest, there are pools. The pools are close to each other, and if it weren't for the occasional mud stack in between, it would be easy to mistake this for a lake that is connected together.

Seeing the traces that had been searched for a long time disappear in front of their eyes, everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Master Cheng, what should we do now, do we still go south?" Wu Yi, who was at the front of the team, turned back and asked Cheng Yifan.

Because there are only Cheng Yifan and their team of scouts in this temporary team, and Cheng Yifan is the person in charge of the reconnaissance team, so where to go, naturally have to ask Cheng Yifan.

Traces disappeared here, and there was no trace of them on the ground. Obviously, the crocodiles must have dived into the waters.

It's just that Cheng Yifan is not sure how big this body of water is? He walked to the puddle, squatted down, beckoned to Wu Yi and shouted, "Wu Yi." ”

"In!" Wu Yi immediately responded.

"Do you know how big a territory is?" Cheng Yifan pointed to the large body of water in front of him.

"It's big, big, and it's like this on both sides of the lake...... There is more water to the south, especially to the west near the lake. Wu Yi replied.

"Broken Lake?" Cheng Yifan repeated suspiciously, he felt that the name of this lake was a little strange.

"Oh! The lake is the big lake west of the wooded forest at the end of the woods. The lake is very large, spanning almost the north and south sides of the West Mountain. Wu Yi pointed to the west of the previous wooden forest and said.

"The reason why the lake is called the lake is because there is a large ditch in the center of the lake that spans the east and west, which divides the lake into two halves." Wu Yi did not sell Guanzi, but continued to explain: "The flow of this broken lake is very strange, it flows from the north and south to the center of the lake, and finally merges together at the broken ditch; If you look at it from a distance, the broken ditch looks like a knife that breaks the stream, so the lake is named the broken flow lake. ”

At this time, for some reason, Cheng Yifan remembered the saltwater pool he saw when he entered the mountain, and whispered in his heart: "Could it be that this broken flow lake is also like a saltwater pool, with karst caves and underground rivers underneath?" ”

"The water quality of this broken lake is good, and the shallow water near the shore is very suitable for crocodiles, I heard that a hundred years ago, the crocodiles there were all in patches, and then they were caught and killed, and these crocodiles dived away one after another. In addition to the most of those who were killed, many of them dived into the deepest depths of the West Mountain. At this time, Hongda on the side helped Wu Yi explain.

"In the early years, I lived by the lake, but because of the serious hunting, I moved to the depths of the West Mountain, and now for some reason, I have to move back." After listening to Wu Yi and Hong Da's introduction to the broken paste, Cheng Yifan made a bold assumption in his heart.

"These beasts, living in a strange realm with sufficient spiritual power all year round, are definitely not low in spirituality and intelligence. Move back to your hometown? If it wasn't for the danger in the depths of the Western Mountains, it was for them to have a reason to come back. Thinking of this, Cheng Yifan was even more sure of his inference.

He closed his eyes and felt his spiritual power with his heart, and he saw the spiritual root in his dantian.

With the experience of failure last time, he no longer dared to unscrupulously draw spiritual power. It drew the tiny new roots with its mind. Wherever his mind went, the roots trembled slightly, and then Cheng Yifan felt a spiritual power spread from the roots, passing through its purified meridians, and finally converging in his heavenly spirit.

Cheng Yifan seemed to have opened his heavenly eyes, and as the distance of the aura spreading to the surroundings gradually became farther away, there were more and more images in Cheng Yifan's mind.

"Could it be that this is the celestial vision in the spiritual sense?" Although Cheng Yifan has his eyes closed, he can clearly see everything around him. At the same time, Cheng Yifan felt that the newly born roots in his dantian were alternating between dry and moist again and again. Every time it dries, a lot of spiritual power must be extracted from the taproot; Cheng Yifan didn't dare to continue this state for too long, for fear that his spiritual power would be exhausted again.

"My lord, do you see anything?" Wu Yi anxiously asked Cheng Yifan, who opened his eyes. He knew that Cheng Yifan was using his spiritual sense to probe the situation around him just now.

"About two kilometers of water ahead, there is the smell of a large number of beasts." Cheng Yifan pointed in the direction of the southwest and said.

As soon as Cheng Yifan's words fell, they heard a violent explosion similar to fireworks, and everyone looked up to see that in the sky in the direction of Cheng Yifan's finger, two signal flares lit up one after another, and that direction was the direction where Du Sangui was.

"Someone is in danger!" Everyone understood that this should be where the crocodile was.

Cheng Yifan took a dagger handed over by Ye Feifei and walked at the front of the team, cautiously running in the direction of the signal.

*****************************

At this time, Du Sangui regretted it very much, originally their luck was not bad, not long after leaving the search place, they encountered two crocodiles of considerable size. Judging by their brownish-black skin, the lifespan of these two crocodiles is at least more than 100 years. If a hundred-year-old fierce beast has an inner pill in its body, it is a spirit yuan of about 100,000 levels.

The rules in this mountain, "Whoever kills the fierce beast, the spirit yuan belongs to whom." "Du Sangui himself is a psychic in the late stage of the Tongxin realm, plus Gao Ren's hands and feet are not bad, and his greed is together, so he doesn't care about the life or death of the rest of the scouts, and he doesn't even send an alarm to his guards and chases after him.

I have to say that the other scouts are not completely under the orders of Du Sangui, but more of their own greed, and they also want to take advantage of the opportunity.

Unexpectedly, after they had killed one crocodile, the other crocodile screamed into the underground pool, this crocodile had a cold habit and rarely made a sound, but this time it almost roared; What's even more strange is that after a few breaths, several giant crocodiles came out of the pool one after another.

Just as Du Sangui reacted and wanted to escape, more than a hundred crocodiles of different sizes appeared in the surrounding waters at the same time. The weirdness didn't stop, and the crocodile was like an ant colony crawling out of the ground, one after the other; In a short time, two or three hundred heads had gathered densely on the ground, but they had no intention of stopping.

Du Sangui, who almost collapsed, fired a signal flare. Not only the crocodiles were highly spiritual, but they were also frightened by the signal flare that made the sound, and they attacked frantically.

In the blink of an eye, two scouts had their heads bitten off, and blood was sprayed all over the ground.

"Crunch, squeak......" Two more scouts were bitten off limbs. The scout, who had lost a limb, was dragged into the crocodile pile without caring about the pain. The bloody scene made Du Sangui almost nauseated.

"Run!" Du Sangui couldn't care about those so-called Lingyuan anymore, so he shouted at everyone and fled first. The rest of the survivors also ran after seeing Du Sangui fleeing in a hurry.

However, there are so many crocodiles that there is no way for everyone to escape. Some people hurriedly jumped into the pool and tried to swim away, but they were bitten in two by the giant crocodile in the water.

Du Sangui and Gao Ren were the strongest, and they worked together to open a passageway, followed by a dozen surviving scouts, their faces pale and their torn clothes covered in undried blood.

finally managed to find a way, but a number of panicked scouts fell into the swamp: some were torn into several pieces before they could sink into the swamp; Some managed to climb out, but they were bitten by the chasing crocodiles and dragged back into the mud, and finally sank to the bottom of the mud with the crocodiles.

They were all experienced veterans, but at this time they all trembled at the sight of this scene, and their feet were like lead, and they could not move. Soon, the crocodiles surrounded them again.

"It's over!" Du Sangui looked at the fewer and fewer people and the group of crocodiles surrounding him, and knew that he was about to end. In the end, he will die in his own greed, as the man reprimanded him years ago, "You will die in your own greed." ”

"No...... Can't ......," he cried out in his heart, almost in despair.

"Whoosh...... Sou...... Whoosh......" Just as he was desperately about to make a final fight with this group of fierce beasts, several feathered arrows flew behind him. Immediately, he saw several crocodiles in front of him who had been hit by arrows, probably because the crocodile's leather armor was too thick, and the crocodile that had been hit by the arrow did not die immediately, but rolled on the ground in pain, trying to break free from the arrow feathers that made it painful.

Du Sangui was overjoyed, he knew that the reinforcements had arrived, and when he turned around, he saw Hong Da and Ye Feifei who came like gods.

I don't know if the power of those feather arrows is too great, or if Ye Feifei has too many people on their side, this group of crocodiles actually stopped attacking. The group surrounding Du Sangui also retreated, and they became a confrontation with Ye Feifei.
