Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Mighty Crocodile
The turmoil is uneven, the undercurrent is surging, the five major gangs, the three factions, the disciples of the three sects, these forces, intricately, but they are ruthlessly intertwined by fate, and a desperate battle seems inevitable.
When the sword killed them and left, the thief-eyed Zhang Ming, after preparing the jade slip, went against them and came to a mysterious place.
And in this place, there are some birds and beasts, among the ruins, it is extremely rare.
Zhang Ming couldn't wait, put the jade slip on a bird's claw similar to a roc, then tied it with silk cloth, patted the bird's wings, and then left happily.
After it left, the roc-like bird flapped its wings and flew high, silently, away from the deserted city, submerged into the clouds in the sky, and flew to the distant city, without the monks noticing, because in the high sky, there are generally no living creatures wandering.
Just the two places of Sword Killing and Zhang Ming have already begun to surge, but the forces that pay attention to this kind of big thing are not only these.
In the dark, the jade plaque thrown before the sword killing had already aroused the vigilance of the spies of the five major gangs, and they rushed back to the place where the news was exchanged, and this kind of big matter was passed on layer by layer to the final overlord, and they began to decide.
As for the portrait of the sword killing, it is also widely circulated, and it seems that some kind of conspiracy is brewing in the dark, which is not known to all the monks, and the truth is that in addition to the mastermind of the brewing situation, everything is still under the clouds.
Yunchen and Jian killed them, and seemed to believe in Zhang Ming's words, and they hurried quickly, and even rose, wanting to abandon Zhao Ping and Zhang Yan and rush with all their might.
But thinking that they were helpless and might be attacked and killed by the three venerables, they couldn't bear to break their promise, so they had to run for a while and rest for a while.
As a result, their speed slowed down, and Zhao Ping and Zhang Yan, from childhood to adulthood, did not undergo some exercise, their physical strength was very poor, and they seemed to be a little overdrawn.
Outside the Fallen Desert City, where there was still a long distance from the Absolute Heaven Peak, Yunchen and the others stopped their steps.
"It's not a way to go on like this. Yunchen looked in front of him, not only was the mountain road rugged, but also the swamp was dense, and it was not easy to wade through.
"Sure enough, it is rumored that if you want to go to the Absolute Heaven Peak, you must kill yourself. It means that the road to the Absolute Heaven Peak, if you want to choose a short distance, you have to go through hardships. If you choose a long distance, it will take a lot of time, not two or three days, but eighty or ninety days, or even half a month. Zhang Yan said helplessly.
Now, unless Yunchen and them can leap over the dangerous place, otherwise, it will be difficult to arrive in a short time with Zhang Yan and Zhao Ping. It's a pity that Yunchen is a human race and has no wings, and the sword killer is a sword-eating grass clan, and he can't fly.
"By the way, do you have wings?" Yunchen's eyes flashed, thinking that Zhang Yan and Zhao Ping also seemed to be demon beasts, and he couldn't help but want to use them to fly to the Absolute Heaven Peak.
"Sorry, we don't have wings. I am a civet clan, Zhang Yan is a cold rabbit clan, and neither of them can fly. Zhao Ping said helplessly.
"Damn!" the sword kills great hatred, so that they are extremely passive.
"It seems that we can only rely on us to be arrogant!" Yunchen was eager to try this and ignited his fighting spirit.
"Yunchen, you?"
"Let's go, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, let it be!" After speaking, Yunchen deliberately grabbed Zhao Ping and smiled mysteriously at the sword killing: "I take him, and you are responsible for taking Zhang Yan to see who can get through this dangerous place faster." ”
"What, you want me to bring ......" Jian Ji's cheeks flushed, and he looked at Zhang Yan, at a loss.
"The dignified sword-eating grass Tianjiao, do you still have to take care of these?" After Yunchen finished speaking, he didn't give the sword a moment to refute, and immediately put on his back Zhao Ping and walked towards the forest in front of him.
"You ......" Jian Yan was helpless, so he could only hold Zhang Yan's arm, ease his excited heart, and follow closely.
Ahead, is the forest that Yunchen will enter, it is not difficult to see that it is full of swamps, and the trees in the middle are evacuated, and it is impossible to plan from the trees, only to use the trees for a short time to cross the gap of a large distance.
However, if Zhao Ping and Zhang Yan were left to act alone, they might not be able to walk a few feet into the forest, and they would already be stuck in the swamp and unable to extricate themselves.
"Hold on to me!" Yunchen carried Zhao Ping on his back, extremely relaxed, as if he was pressed by cotton, because he was physically strong, and it was not a problem to carry Qianjun on his back.
As for the sword killer beside him, he blushed his cheeks and motioned for Zhang Yan to jump on his back.
Zhang Yan was also blushing, her eyes were shy, she tried her best to make herself relaxed, jumped up, and fell into the back of the sword killing, although it was not generous, but it was a solid back, for the first time, let Zhang Yan, who had lost her loved ones, feel the warmth and sense of security of home.
Yunchen maintained a mysterious smile, jumped over more than ten feet, grabbed a big tree with both hands, and left deep claw marks, so as to increase the friction and prevent himself from falling, and around the big tree, it was already a swamp.
In these swamps, there may also be mysterious wild beasts, which can lurk in the swamp without being infected by poisonous gas and sticky soil, and lie dormant under the swamp for a long time, which is extremely dangerous.
From a distance, above most of the swamps, there was still a thick poisonous gas, almost manifesting into substance.
Yunchen and Jian Ji looked at each other, since they decided to take this path, they will go on without regrets.
"Rounding the big tree at the front, we drove to the west, and then there were the steep mountains. Sword Slayer said easily, as if he would be able to arrive soon.
"Okay, you also have to be careful of the poisonous gas, the wild beasts under the swamp, you don't need me to say more, right?" Yun Chenfeng said lightly.
"You know?"
"Truth be told, I once broke into a primeval forest, fought many wild beasts, knew their scent, knew their difficulty and strength. Yunchen said, and couldn't help but recall that at the beginning, the forest outside Fulei Village was also the place where he comprehended the ancient limit.
"That's best, since you have experience fighting desolate beasts, then please. "The sword slayer carried Zhang Yan on his back, trying to make himself look a gentleman.
Yunchen didn't say much, and the blood stained the illusion: "Boy, you are blessed to follow me." ”
After speaking, the blood-stained stretch in an instant, poking directly into the huge tree far away, Yunchen carried Zhao Ping on his back, jumped up, and stepped on the blood-stained gun.
Jian Ji looked at Yunchen in disbelief, then looked at the blood stain, and finally understood where the other party's confidence came from.
"Come back later, I'm afraid that under the swamp, the beasts will attack. Yunchen risked his life, stepped on the bloodstain, and said to the sword behind him.
"You have your Yangguan Dao, and I also have my single-plank bridge!" The sword was reluctant to lag behind, and the green sword in his hand flew out violently, plunging into another thick tree, and in the hilt of the sword, a long chain was held in his hand.
The sword slayer pulled the chain, and felt that the size of the green sword was deep enough to carry him and Zhang Yan, and it would not fall off unexpectedly in the middle of it.
"You'd better wait. Yunchen heard the sound, looked at the green sword not far away, and the chain attached to it, and understood the hole card of the sword killing.
"Let's come together!" After all, the sword killer is Tianjiao, not to mention that he is also carrying a woman, and he does not want to fall behind.
Yunchen shook his head helplessly, picked up his speed, and ran towards the blood-stained head.
At the same time, the sword slayer also moved, and his hand seemed to have an iron ring in it, which was tightly connected to the chain, and the other end of the chain was sunk into the hilt of the sword, so that it formed an inseparable whole.
This was originally its killer move, dealing with the enemy, in its escape or surprise, a fatal hole card, but now it is used to hurry, I can't help but feel a little depressed.
The two of them were dispatched at the same time, and when the sword slash leaped, the speed was faster than Yunchen, and it seemed that it was about to reach the end, but at this moment, in the swamp, there was a burst of mud bubbles, and that special smell was slowly rich.
Ordinary wild beasts, with the spirit of savagery, plus living in the laws of nature all year round, the flesh is weak and strong, and the smell of blood is full.
Yunchen didn't have to think about it, he had already aroused his vigilance, and he couldn't help but turn to the side of the sword killing, and saw that below it, the mud kept coming out, as if there was a huge monster lurking inside, and it was showing its fangs at the moment.
"Sword killing, be careful!" a reminder, the crocodile's head, with its blood-smelling serrations, opened a mouth larger than a blood basin, enough to swallow several ordinary humanoid monks in one gulp.
The sword slayer was aware at this moment, but now, holding the chain in both hands, if he wanted to use his feet to repel the sudden attack of the wild beast, he would probably vibrate with it, generating a huge force, causing the green sword inserted into the tree to fall off, and at that time, the sky was weak.
Yunchen obviously understood this, seeing that Jian Ji was indifferent and faced with a crisis, he maintained a calm expression, and rushed to the end line at the mercy of the forces of nature, as if he was gambling, betting that he could come to the end before the blood mouth of the desolate beast closed.
"The flesh hurts......" Yun Chen was helpless, and suddenly threw a sharp magic weapon from the Nine Spirits Qiankun Ring, like a spear, and threw it at the weakest point of the desolate beast - the eye.
Shout......
The magic weapon broke through the air, and the desolate beast attacked quickly, but the speed of the magic weapon was even faster, directly close to the desolate beast's eyes, and as long as it took a breath, it would be inserted into it.
In desperation, the beast sank into the swamp, and an angry roar came from inside, splashing waves of mud several feet high, blooming like fireworks.
The sword slayer looked at Yunchen, as well as the magic weapon that staggered the desolate beast and submerged in the swamp, and the remorse and gratitude in his heart were incomparable.
When the end came, Jian Ji's mood was heavy, a magic weapon, in this ruins, was priceless, more precious than the elixir he sent, but Yunchen did not hesitate to discard it for him.
Yunchen was also very fast, and came to the end without danger, put away the blood stain, and smiled slightly: "It's better to wait for me to go first!"
This time, Jian Yan no longer refuted, and stood silently on the branch, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
But the woman on his back secretly promised to cherish the adventure of the moment, and had the urge to go to the soup for it.
Yunchen didn't say much, the blood stain changed again, stretching dozens of zhang, crossing many huge trees, this is the limit, although it can be transformed, but after all, there is a limit, it is impossible to expand indefinitely, it is a fantasy.
Yunchen carried Zhao Ping on his back and set foot on the journey again, along the way, it was extremely safe, it seemed that because the blood-stained gun body was red, there was blood light flowing, which made the wild beast fearful.
After Yunchen reached the end, the sword slayer shot out the green sword again, submerged into a giant tree, and then, as before, with the help of attraction, like an ape with the help of a tree, flew over a long distance.
At this moment, the previous desolate beast seemed to be extremely unconvinced, and even attacked again.
Yunchen sneered, and the blood stain stretched out directly, slamming into the eyes of the desolate beast, accurately.
The desolate beast was furious, and he was stretched thin by Yunchen again, how could he not be annoyed.
Tumbling his huge body, he dived into the swamp again, with a tail, wanting to attack by surprise before leaving.
Yunchen's eyes were fast, dancing with blood, and a shot clashed with its hard tail, leaving a string of white marks, and a trace of sparks appeared, the tail of the wild beast was not injured, but Yunchen, who was filled with great force, couldn't help but take a step back and stepped outside the branches.
Zhao Ping had been watching, and hurriedly grabbed the tree to prevent Yunchen from falling into the swamp.
Yunchen put away the bloodstain, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the desolate beast in front of him was extremely extraordinary, and even the sharpness of the bloodstain could be resisted, and it was not small.
"The Deep Marsh Giant Crocodile Beast, could it really be the desolate beast right now?" Sword Slayer came back to his senses, recalling Yunchen's bloodstaining and brief contact with the desolate beast, and suddenly thought of this possibility.
"Deep Marsh Giant Crocodile Beast?" Yunchen couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the strange words of Sword Slayer.
"This is one of the six desolate beasts, it used to haunt the swamps around Zecheng, and then after being repelled by the three venerables, it went to the Desolate Beast Mangyuan, how could it appear here now?" Zhao Ping said in surprise.
"Boy, I reacted very quickly just now, and I know a lot, not bad. Yunchen appreciated.
"It's the first time I've heard such a compliment, Brother Yunchen, I'll follow you in the future!" Zhao Ping raised the corners of his mouth, smiled rarely, and dispersed the gloom of the recent days.
"If it's really one of the six desolate beasts, with their retributive nature, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to leave this forest. He had heard too many rumors about the six desolate beasts, and he was afraid of it.
"Don't worry about it, just go ahead. After Yunchen finished speaking, he stretched the blood stain again and continued to hurry.
Next, it seems that all the way is safe, Yunchen and Jian Ji, one in front and one behind, one left and one right, supporting each other, moving and still, so that the desolate beasts in the swamp cannot attack. But the surge under the swamp, and the vague eyes, became a mystery.
After a few hours, I walked out of the vast forest safely, and a bright light shone brightly, and in front of me were the steep mountains.
"It's a good thing it's not the Deep Marsh Giant Crocodile, otherwise our lives would have been over!" said Sword Slayer with a palpitation.
"I mean, you're still worried. "Yunchen is now familiar with the sword killing, so there is no need to politely call the sword killing brother.
"Xiaocao, when you got here, do you still need us to carry them?" Yunchen tilted his head and continued.
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Ping landed flexibly, but Zhang Yan was still lying behind Jian Ji, without movement, his eyes were closed, and a sweet smile was flooded on his face.
Jian Ji originally wanted to be embarrassed by Yunchen's call to his grass, but he sensed that Zhang Yan was indifferent, so he couldn't help shaking violently and coughed dryly.
Zhang Yan woke up at this time, and couldn't help but fall to the ground with the color of peach blossoms, lowering his head, not daring to look at the sword killing.
"Zhao Ping, can you tell me, these steep mountains should be like the past?" Yunchen asked with interest in his hands.
"In the ruins, these seemingly barren mountains actually hide opportunities, many wild beasts lurking in the mountain wall, will take advantage of the creature passing by the mountain wall, suddenly attack, and then jump to the body of the creature, plus the momentum of the fall, to give the creature a fatal blow. "Zhao Ping doesn't know anything, he knows all kinds of situations in the ruins.
"Very well, those wreckage at the foot of the mountain in the distance, proving what you say, is extremely credible. Yunchen confirmed, pointing to the wreckage not far away.
These remains, spines and many bones are broken, and most of them are demon beasts, which manifested their original forms after death, and their flesh and blood all over their bodies did not exist, either a long time had passed, eroded by time, or they were eaten by those wild beasts on the spot.
Around the wreckage, the blood that had not faded was splashed everywhere, proving that Zhao Ping's words were true, nine times out of ten, otherwise how could so many monks accidentally fall when climbing.
There are many coincidences, and it is reality.
"Then what should we do now?" Zhao Ping asked.
"Xiaocao, you know, the old rules!" Yunchen smiled slightly.
Jian Ji was depressed in his heart and wanted to open his mouth to refute.
"Win me, let's refute it......"
