Chapter 186: The Water Snake Demon
Tian Xiaoding met Liang Nanguang by chance and learned the specific location of the water snake from Liang Nanguang's mouth.
So, he drove Feiyun Suo to take Liang Nanguang and his junior sister Tan Litong to the Shuiling River.
According to Liang Nanguang, the Shuiling snake mainly lives in a bay on the Shuiling River.
This river bay is also called Shuiling Bay, but the location is somewhat hidden.
Because it is located in the upper reaches of the Shuiling River, that is, it is specifically located in the jungle in the Soul Burial Mountain.
After all, the source of the Shuiling River comes from the interior of the Burial Soul Mountain.
Xiao Ding and the three of them flew all the way into the Burial Soul Mountain along the Shuiling River, but they didn't go far before they found a river bay.
Due to the large area of water accumulation at the bay, a small crescent-shaped pond was formed at the tortuous part of the river.
After getting off the flying cloud shuttle, the three of them came to the water's edge.
I saw that the green water in the pond was long, sparkling and shadowy, because it was living water, so it was extraordinarily clear.
There are a lot of purple-red floating algae floating on the surface of the water, and if you look closely, you will see that these floating algae float under the leaves above the water, all of which have a golden root hanging like a golden thread. The roots of many floating algae are entangled underwater, and the floating algae on the surface of the water are connected into large patches, so that they are not so easily washed away by the current.
Liang Nanguang has mentioned before that there are a lot of golden thread algae growing in this Shuiling Bay, and it seems that these floating algae dragging the roots of golden thread should be golden thread algae.
Xiao Ding had read about the introduction of Golden Thread Algae in his "Secret Book of Alchemy", and knew that this algae was also a precious spiritual plant, and it was one of the main medicines used to refine the Transformation Pill.
The Transfiguration Pill is not an elixir for human monks, but for demon beasts and spirits. If it is a low-level demon beast or a spirit monster, after taking the Transformation Pill, you can immediately turn on your spiritual intelligence and transform into a human form, just like the Chimu Bi Peach Essence Little Peach. Otherwise, if you only rely on your own cultivation, you need to cultivate to the ninth order before you can transform into a human being. This process, to say the least, will take thousands of years.
Listening to Liang Nanguang, the water snakes in this Shuiling Bay like to eat these golden thread algae. Xiao Ding guessed that since these golden thread algae were one of the main medicines for refining the Transformation Pill, they might be able to help the demon beasts transform into shapes, so the Water Snake liked to eat them very much.
However, demon beasts like to guard some kind of spirit plant, and in the Soul Burial Mountain, it has long been strange.
Before the Feiyun Shuttle landed, Xiao Ding could actually feel that under those floating algae, there were demon beasts lurking in the water, waiting for an opportunity to move. As for whether it is a water snake, Xiao Ding can't tell.
At this time, the three of them stood on the shore and observed in the water, and Xiao Ding confirmed his previous premonition. As soon as he let go of his mind and probed into the water, he immediately felt his scalp tingle.
It turns out that there is not only one but hundreds of water snakes hidden under those golden threads, and they are densely lurking in the water, so that people will feel that the hairs on their bodies will stand up after seeing them.
However, although there are many water snakes, these are all ordinary snakes, and they have not yet reached the level of demon beasts.
Xiao Ding Xin said that when Cai Chenzi introduced himself to the Regeneration Pill, he only said that he needed the gall of the water snake, but he did not say that he needed the gall of the water snake demon beast, it seemed that he only needed to go into the water to catch an ordinary water snake. It's just that I don't know, there are so many water snakes in the water, but why haven't I seen a demon beast level?
At this time, Liang Nanguang on the side suddenly spoke: "Brother Tian, you see those golden thread algae, if we go into the water to fish some back, it can also be used to exchange for a lot of spirit stones, I heard that this is also a not very common medicinal material." ”
Xiao Ding nodded and said, "The purpose of my coming here is mainly for the water snake. Just now, I used my divine sense to investigate, and I found that there are actually a lot of snakes under the water. It's just that I didn't find a monster-level water snake, I don't know if you have found it? ”
Liang Nanguang shook his head and said, "I didn't find it either, but I heard from my master that there is still a water snake demon here, and he once told me not to let me come here alone." ”
"In this way, the cultivation of the water snake demon in the water must be much higher than your cultivation." Xiao Ding guessed.
"Most likely, otherwise my master wouldn't have said it so seriously." Liang Nanguang replied.
"In that case, then later, I'll go into the water to test it, if there is really a snake demon, I'll lure it away, and then the two of you go into the water to help me catch an ordinary water snake, and at the same time, you can also collect some golden thread algae."
"Wouldn't you be in danger in this way? Otherwise, let me try it......" Liang Nanguang said hesitantly.
Xiao Ding interrupted him and said, "No need, let's go, I have more means to save my life, and you two will help me a lot if you two help me get a water snake." ”
Liang Nanguang couldn't help but sigh when he heard Xiao Ding say this, and said ashamedly: "Alas, it's all because my brother's cultivation is too low, my ability is too small, and I have to have Brother Laotian to take risks." What a shame! ”
Xiao Ding hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother Liang doesn't have to blame himself, since the three of us came together, it is equivalent to teamwork together, as long as we achieve our goal, whoever leads away the snake demon will be the same." ”
At this time, Tan Litong suddenly said on the side: "Since Senior Brother Tian has already decided like this, then let's go our separate ways." ”
Liang Nanguang saw Tan Litong open his mouth, so he didn't say much, but nodded and said, "Then it's all up to Brother Tian's arrangement." ”
Xiao Ding saw that the two of them had no objections, so he took out the Tianyang Sword, held it in his hand, and then walked cautiously towards the pond.
The reason why he took out the Tianyang Sword was because Xiao Ding felt that if he fought in the water, the mace would be more resistant, which might affect the speed of his moves, while the sword was much lighter and more suitable for underwater combat.
What's more, he has no swordsmanship, and he has learned most of it, but he is too lazy to learn it because of the last bit of cumbersomeness.
Although he held the sword in his hand, Xiao Ding was very careful every time he took a step forward.
Liang Nanguang and Tan Litong on the shore even hung their hearts in their throats.
Just after Xiao Ding entered the water, he walked forward less than ten steps away, and suddenly, Xiao Ding's consciousness felt a slight fluctuation behind the group of water snakes.
He once again concentrated his divine sense to probe in that direction, and suddenly found that under the bodies of those water snakes, under the water, there was actually an inconspicuous stone cave.
There is a lot of silt at the bottom of the water, and the water near the cave is a little muddy, so it is difficult to spot the cave if you are not careful.
And at this moment, from the mouth of the stone cave at the bottom of the water, a snake head the size of a sea bowl suddenly poked out.
After Xiao Ding's divine sense locked on this snake's head, he immediately found that this snake looked exactly like the other water snakes, but it was already a third-order demon beast, which was equivalent to the cultivation of a human cultivator in the Great Perfection of Qi cultivation.
Now that the demon beast has appeared, Xiao Ding immediately stopped, his purpose is to divert the tiger from the mountain and lure away this water snake demon instead of going into the water to fight for life and death.
Although the other party's cultivation is much higher than his own, it is just a snake after all, and before it opens its spiritual intelligence, its intelligence level is far inferior to that of humans.
Therefore, Xiao Ding threw the Tianyang Sword in his hand upward, pinched the trick in his hand, and swung it forward, and stabbed the sword towards the snake head at the mouth of the underwater stone cave.
The ordinary attack of this move naturally can't stab the snake demon.
I saw the snake demon shrink his head into the hole, and the Tianyang Sword fell into the air.
When Xiao Ding withdrew the Tianyang Sword and was about to attack again, the snake demon took the opportunity to jump out of the snake cave at once, swam to the water, and quickly swam towards Xiao Ding.
At this time, Xiao Ding saw the overall appearance of this water snake demon.
I saw that its body was more than two feet long, the mouth of the bowl was thick, and its body had blue and white patterns, and it was covered with hard scales. The head of the snake is the size of a large bowl, the blood-red snake letter is a foot long, and the snake teeth more than an inch long are white, even if it is not a poisonous snake, just bite this snake tooth, I am afraid that it will have to be torn off a piece of meat.
Xiao Ding saw this third-order snake demon swimming out of the water and running towards him. He hurriedly stepped on it with his flying sword, and then flew in the other direction.
His purpose was not to fight the snake demon here, but to lure the snake demon away, so that Liang Nanguang and the others could go into the water to catch other ordinary water snakes and collect golden thread algae.
The water snake demon had obviously seen that in addition to Xiao Ding, there were two other human monks on the shore, but it still flew out of the water and chased after Xiao Ding behind.
Xiao Ding only said that the snake demon was not enlightened and had low intelligence, and he would not have thought that he was using a strategy to divert the tiger from the mountain. So, he didn't care, but led the snake demon to chase after him.
If the snake demon planned to turn back, Xiao Ding immediately sacrificed his mace to attack the snake demon.
If this snake demon keeps chasing Xiao Ding, Xiao Ding won't bother with him, just do his own thing.
Flying forward, Xiao Ding felt that there was already some distance from Nashuiling Bay, and presumably Liang Nanguang and the others should have succeeded.
So, he stopped and landed on the ground, waiting for the arrival of the third-order demon beast.
The Shuiling Snake Demon has been chasing Xiao Ding all the time, so naturally he hasn't been left behind.
Soon, when it was still five or six feet away from Xiao Ding, it suddenly opened its mouth and sprayed a mouthful of venom at Xiao Ding......
When Xiao Ding saw it, he said in his heart, the snake demon is also a snake, if the snake gall bladder of the Shuiling snake demon is used to refine the regeneration pill, will the effect be better?
