Volume 1 The First Arrival in the Otherworld Chapter 20 The Giant Crocodile of Cold Water
When Xiao Ding and the three of them were having dinner, they were still discussing how to take the matter of the blue water purple lotus.
The blue water purple lotus grows in the center of the cold water pool, which is dozens of zhang away from the shore, which is more than 200 meters away when converted into the length unit used on the earth today.
It is obviously impossible to swim such a long distance. First, the pool water is too cold, and it will take a lot of effort to resist it; The second is that there is still a fourth-order demon beast in the pool, fighting in the water, it is not what human immortal cultivators are good at, and it may not even be able to exert fifty percent of its strength in the water.
However, Xiao Ding and Li Tianliang are currently at a low level of cultivation and can't fly with their swords, so they can only think of other ways.
Xiao Ding thought of getting a boat to row over, but this is a barren mountain and a wild mountain, where can I get a boat?
In the end, the three of them decided after deliberation: after dinner, the three of them cut down wood overnight to build a raft for tomorrow's use.
And because the senior sister's cultivation is the highest, tomorrow the senior sister will fly to the center of the cold pool by the senior sister imperial sword to lure out the fourth-order demon beast, and it is best to lure it away and leave that water. Then Xiao Ding and Li Tianliang drove the raft to the center of the pond to pick the blue water purple lotus.
Of course, if the three of them could work together to kill that fourth-order demon beast, that would be the best way. It's a pity that the fourth-order demon beast is equivalent to the cultivation of the human foundation building period, and the current cultivation of Xiao Ding and the three of them is impossible to kill the fourth-order demon beast.
Therefore, you can only use the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain to have the opportunity to take the blue water purple lotus.
However, this is also a very dangerous thing, if the fourth-order demon beast returns halfway, then Xiao Ding and Li Tianliang will not even have a chance to escape.
As for Senior Sister, there is no need to worry too much, after all, she has already reached the cultivation of the Great Perfection of Qi Training, and she is only one step away from building a foundation. Although with her skills, she couldn't fight the fourth-order demon beast head-on, but she could still protect herself. If you can't beat it, you can run, as long as you don't face it, you basically won't get any damage.
After the three of them agreed on a plan for tomorrow, they immediately set to action.
The most important thing in the mountains is grass and trees. If you want to build a raft, it's not difficult to say, but it's not easy. Why? This is because although there are many trees in the mountains, most of them have matured, and those trees are so tall and thick that four or five adults may not be able to hold them together.
Such a stout tree is obviously not suitable for building a raft.
Therefore, it is not so easy to find tiny trees.
Later, the senior sister flew directly to the canopy of those tall trees, and then stood on top of the branches, selected the branches of the appropriate thickness, and slashed them with a sword.
This makes it much easier to build a raft. Xiao Ding and Li Tianliang only need to tear off some bark and tie these branches together.
So, it didn't take long for a simple raft to be built.
The three of them dragged the raft to the shore of the cold pool, and then returned to the cave to rest.
At night, although there are night birds chirping and wild beasts howling all over the mountain, it sounds creepy, but the cave where Xiao Ding and the three of them are resting is also very safe, and there are no wild beasts to harass it.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Xiao Ding still cooked the remaining half of the pheasant from last night, and roasted three wild eggs for breakfast.
This time, Li Tianliang learned to be obedient, he only ate half a wild egg this time, and then cut off a large piece of pheasant meat and gnawed it.
Xiao Ding and senior sister Cheng Yaowu are both big stomachs, and they don't eat less.
After breakfast, the three of them came to the shore of the cold water pool, Xiao Ding and Li Tianliang pushed the raft they built last night into the water, Li Tianliang made a long wooden stick as a boat, the two stood on the raft, and got ready, just waiting for the senior sister to fly to the middle of the waterhole to lure the fourth-order demon beast away.
Senior Sister Cheng Yaowu did not hesitate, seeing that Xiao Ding and Li Tianliang were ready, she flew towards the area where the blue water purple lotus grew in the center of the waterhole.
Dozens of zhang away, in just an instant, Cheng Yaowu had already flown to the center of the waterhole. But she was hanging in mid-air, but she didn't see the fourth-order demon beast outcropping.
So, she lowered her flying sword, and when she was about to get close to the water, she used the aura in her body and slapped it into the water.
"Bang-" Wherever the palm power went, the water splashed......
The originally calm water surface was hit by Cheng Yao's palm, and a deep pit with a diameter of several zhang was punched, and the water splashed around, spraying more than two zhang high, and then falling back to the water surface, making a huge sound.
Cheng Yaowu hung in the air, vigilantly waiting for the fourth-order demon beast to appear, but after waiting for a long time, the demon beast did not come out.
Seeing that the demon beast did not move, the senior sister Cheng Yaowen continued to split two or three palms one after another, only to hit the water surface and began to shake. On the side of the blue water purple lotus, the lotus leaves and lotus pods also began to sway with the water waves.
However, the demon beast still did not show its head.
But Cheng Yaowu can faintly feel that under the surface of the water, there is still a great sense of crisis.
The sixth sense of a cultivator is usually much more sensitive than that of ordinary people, and the senior sister believes that the fourth-order demon beast must be hidden under the water, but she doesn't know what the reason is and why she has been refusing to come out.
Cheng Yaowu saw that striking the water surface couldn't lure the fourth-order demon beast out, so she began to think of other ways in her mind.
Suddenly, she thought that the big flying bird that was swallowed by the demon beast yesterday was going to peck at the lotus canopy of the blue water purple lotus, and then the demon beast appeared and swallowed it. Don't you have to touch the blue water purple lotus yourself, so that the demon beast can be lured out?
Thinking of this, Cheng Yaowu immediately flew towards the blue water purple lotus closest to him. When she got close, she reached out and stroked the blue water purple lotus.
At this moment, suddenly a black shadow flashed under the surface of the water, and Cheng Yaowu immediately flew into the air for the first time.
Then I saw a huge scissor mouth rushing out from under the water, and the upper and lower jaws were closed, biting at the position where Cheng Yaowu had just stayed in the air.
When Cheng Yaowu saw the demon beast appear, she immediately volleyed out a palm in the air and slashed at the big mouth of the demon beast.
"Bang ......" The demon beast did not dodge, and directly took the power of this palm.
Cheng Yaowu only felt that his palm was like hitting the rock, and the demon beast did not move at all, but suddenly jumped up again, got out of the water, and bit Cheng Yaowu directly with its big mouth.
At this time, Xiao Ding and Li Tianliang, who were watching from the shore, had already seen clearly that this fourth-order demon beast was a huge cold water giant crocodile. Its body was three or four zhang long, and its body was covered with innate hard armor that looked like dead tree bark, and a huge mouth of scissors was also a foot long, and its mouth was full of teeth as sharp as sharp knives, and each tooth was about seven or eight inches long.
This mouth full of fangs, if it bites, the human body can be pierced.
However, this demon beast is not just as simple as fangs and sharp armor, after it escapes from the water, it can actually stop in mid-air and not fall, and fight with the senior sister Cheng Yaowu.
After Cheng Yaowu dodged the bite of the giant crocodile just now, she immediately returned the blow with her palm, but the palm power she hit, the giant crocodile did not dodge or dodge, and let it hit her body, but there was no damage.
With such a strong defense, the giant crocodile can obviously be invincible.
"How can this be?" When the senior sister saw this, she began to feel a little apprehensive in her heart.
