Tracing the river to the north, the merchant ships travel day and night, and dock at night to rest. In this way, the journey was greatly slowed down, and it was impossible to reach Lijiang City in less than ten days.

Huo Xuan was strange in his heart, and asked Zhang Zhiyuan, and the answer he got was that the Li River has not been calm in recent months, and there are monsters that haunt at night, making waves, and many ships have suffered.

For the sake of prudence, the merchant ships only traveled day and night. After Huo Xuan heard this, he had already decided in his heart that he would always exude the power of Dayan to investigate, and once he found the whereabouts of the demon, he would immediately eradicate it, and he could no longer bring disasters to the people near the Li River.

During this period, Zhang Zhiyuan and others were warmly entertained, and from time to time they revealed the intention of wooing. In particular, Zhang Zhiyuan proposed several times that he wanted to invite Huo Xuan to join the business house run by the Zhang family, and promised to be paid handsomely.

In this regard, Huo Xuan neither refused nor agreed. He has a heavy responsibility, it is impossible to stay in the Lijiang River for a long time, and he did not refuse verbally, but he just didn't want to disappoint Zhang Zhiyuan, a bold man, and after arriving in Lijiang City, he would leave quietly.

Early in the morning.

The mist on the river is shrouded, and the smoke waves are vast, like an ink painting showing the world in front of the eyes, and the scenery is breathtaking.

Huo Xuan, Zhang Zhiyuan and others came to the bow of the boat early to enjoy the scenery of the river, they were all relaxed and full of praise. Suddenly, Huo Xuan's face moved, and at this moment, he had already noticed that at the bottom of the river not far away, there was a monster shaped like a crocodile hibernating, ready to move.

"It seems that the monster who has been in trouble for the Li River today is this guy!"

Dayan's power dispersed, and in an instant, he had already detected the details of this monster. This is a water monster black water crocodile, and it is brutal by nature. He loves to kill blood, and likes to devour the flesh and blood of weak creatures.

The black water crocodile that lurked at the bottom of the Li River was very good, and had reached the middle stage of the spirit demon, with a body length of more than 20 zhang, and the wind and waves were rising, and the boats driving on the river were irresistible, and they were destroyed and torn into pieces in an instant.

Hmmm――

On his shoulder, the Thunder Eagle King felt the murderous aura emanating from his master, and let out a long sigh. He wanted to spread his wings and go away. Kill this monster.

"Wait!"

Huo Xuan stopped it in time. For the same reason, he detected another group of men and horses hiding on a certain ship on the river. It seems that it is also here for this black water crocodile.

That being the case. Huo Xuan was not in a hurry to make a move. Next to Zhang Zhiyuan and others. Seeing that the Thunder Eagle King was restless, he felt strange in his heart. Among them, Li Jie glanced at the Thunder Eagle King and said with a smile: "Brother Xuanchen." You eaglet looks extraordinary, I don't know what kind of alien it is?"

When he said this, he suddenly saw the little eagle on Huo Xuan's shoulder, tilted his head to look at himself, and a pair of eagle eyes revealed humanized disdain, which made him feel a shock in his heart, and secretly said, this flat-haired beast has become a sperm, and can actually understand human words?

Huo Xuan stretched out his hand and stroked the Thunder Eagle King's dirty-looking feathers, and replied lightly: "This eagle was obtained from a deep mountain a few years ago, and there is nothing unusual about it, but after I domesticated it, I can understand some simple commands, hunt small birds and beasts, and guard at night, which is quite useful!"

If someone else said these words, the Thunder Eagle King would probably immediately go crazy and tear that person to pieces. From the words of its own master, it didn't have the slightest temper, and rubbed its little head on Huo Xuan's cheek, with an intimate and extremely docile expression.

Zhang Zhiyuan and the others were amazed in their eyes, this little eagle looks ordinary, but its spirituality is extremely high, and it is a rare helper!

Especially Zhang Zhiyuan, if his caravan is guarded by such a bird, the probability of encountering danger will be greatly reduced, so he is more determined to win over Huo Xuan's heart, thinking about what kind of conditions can be offered to let the other party join their Zhangjia firm.

But at this moment, a low roar came from the bottom of the river, and suddenly, the wind was fierce, and the river surface set off layers of waves, the waves were seven or eight feet high, and waves surged in, and the boats on the river immediately tossed violently.

Huo Xuan's merchant ship was far away, but it could not avoid the impact, the hull of the ship shook violently, jolted up and down, everyone on the ship could not stand firmly, and exclamations kept ringing.

"Poof!"

The unlucky Zhang Zhiyuan unexpectedly unsteady on his feet, and the whole person fell from the boat and fell into the river. Huo Xuan had already noticed it on the side, but when the hull of the ship shook violently, everyone stood unsteadily, staggering, and he didn't want to avoid vulgarity, so he let Zhang Zhiyuan fall into the river, and when it was critical, it was not too late to come to the rescue.

"Boss Zhang has fallen into the river!"

"Go down and save it!"

Li Jie and others reacted immediately and shouted for help.

The boat boss and several boatmen, proficient in water, immediately prepared to jump off the boat to rescue them, but at this moment, the distant river set off waves more than ten feet high, and a huge black shadow jumped out from the bottom of the river, making an earth-shattering roar.

In the eyes of the boat boss and others, a monster shaped like a giant crocodile appeared, more than 20 zhang long, fierce and vicious, after appearing, the giant tail swept away, and smashed a nearby merchant ship to pieces.

Such a picture made the boat boss and others frightened, and they didn't dare to jump into the river to rescue Zhang Zhiyuan.

Huo Xuan could see clearly that on the merchant ship that was destroyed by the black water crocodile, two figures rose into the sky, one left and one right, and swooped straight over.

On the surface of the river, the waves were turbulent, and Zhang Zhiyuan opened his arms and shouted for help. He seems to know some water, and under the crash of a wave of waves, he has always insisted on not sinking. However, looking at his hard face, it shouldn't last long.

Li Jie gritted his teeth, jumped into the river at once, and went to the rescue. As a guard, if you see that your employer is in trouble and you can't save you, after the word spreads, I'm afraid no one will hire you anymore.

Just after he jumped into the river, the wind and waves were fierce, and they became more and more violent and turbulent, not to mention rescuing Zhang Zhiyuan, it was difficult to protect himself, and he couldn't help but cry out in secret.

On the other side, in just a few breaths, Zhang Zhiyuan was unable to support it, and under the head-on lapping of a wave, his body involuntarily sank down. At this moment, Huo Xuan finally made a move, he didn't know when he found a rope from the bed, waved his hand and threw it away, the rope was like having eyes, and it entangled Zhang Zhiyuan, who was about to sink, without deviation, and pulled it hard with both hands, Zhang Zhiyuan was pulled onto the boat from the river with a 'whoosh', landed on the deck, and spit out the river water.

Li Jie was left, and he was then pulled onto the boat by Huo Xuan. A false alarm, finally passed, Zhang Zhiyuan just drank a few sips of river water, no big problem, and soon recovered. He didn't have time to thank him, his eyes looked into the distance in horror, and he trembled his lips and said, "Demon, monster ......"

At this moment, everyone on the boat looked at it, only to see a giant crocodile making waves, hanging in the air on the surface of the river, roaring and roaring, violent and abnormal, not far from its left and right, two figures leaped uncertainly, and a strange light flashed, hitting the giant crocodile, and a terrible roar was heard.

Huo Xuan saw it clearly, the two people who were fighting with the black water crocodile, a man and a woman, looked young, they were only in their twenties, but their cultivation was not bad, and the method they practiced was very peculiar, if they were not mistaken, they should be from the same door as their former good partner Yu Linglong.

"The demon hunter of the Northern Hidden Jade Family!"

Huo Xuan said secretly. Thinking of his former good friend, he unconsciously revealed a faint smile on his face.

This man and woman, all holding longbows, pulled the bowstring, and when they pulled the bowstring, one after another spiritual light arrows shot out like lightning and hit the black water crocodile. The scale armor on the surface of the black water crocodile is extremely defensive, but under the attack of the spiritual arrows, the flesh and blood fly sideways, and the body is covered with scaly wounds in a few breaths.

Roar -

This raging big guy seemed to be completely enraged, and with a roar, the river set off a monstrous wave, condensed but not dispersed, and slapped towards the two people like a peak.

Seeing this, one of the young women pulled the bowstring, and a silver arrow shot out like lightning.

"Ice, Snow Wolf's Arrow!"

A crisp cheer rang out. But after the silver arrow was sacrificed, it instantly turned into a snow-white giant wolf in mid-air, exuding an incomparably cold aura and crashing into the oncoming waves.

Suddenly, the waves froze and then turned into countless ice cubes and fell onto the surface of the river. The big move of the black water crocodile immediately dissipated invisibly.

At the same time, another tall young man with a beard and a long bow shot a golden arrow.

"Golden light, arrow of thorns!"

After the golden arrow was sacrificed, it suddenly turned into a giant beast covered in sharp thorns in mid-air, as fast as lightning, and instantly crashed into the back of the black water crocodile.

Boom -

There was a loud bang. The golden light was shining, and the black water crocodile was blown up in a bloody hole in its back, howling in pain, but it did not die on the spot, and with a swing of the giant tail, it was about to burrow into the bottom of the river and escape.

"Evil animal, don't want to escape!"

In the midst of the shouting, a silver arrow shot away again, but instead of shooting at the black water crocodile, it hit the river below him. Suddenly, the icy breath was permeated, the river surface froze instantly, and the black water crocodile crashed into it, and it was difficult to drill into the bottom of the river for a while.

At this time, the big man's figure flickered, approached in an instant, and with a wave of his big hand, a strange-shaped scimitar shot out, the scimitar was like the moon, revealing the silver Honghong aura, and under the violent rotation, it was like a silver plate slashing through the air, and suddenly cut towards the neck of the black water crocodile.

A terrible scream. The black water crocodile's huge head flew high, and its body fell to the frozen river, blood spurting wildly, and he died on the spot.

At this time, I saw a man and a woman waving their hands to put away their corpses, and their figures flickered, like ghosts, and disappeared without a trace.

Spirit Slashing Knife! Demon Destroying Arrow!

At this moment, Huo Xuan was already sure that these two people were demon hunters from the Northern Hidden Jade family. To be able to kill the black water crocodile with the mid-stage Dao of the spirit demon without much effort, their cultivation is not weak, and the unique spirit summoning technique of the Yu family may have been cultivated to an extremely high level, which is not much weaker than the jade Linglong in the past!

"Fortunately, an immortal master appeared, otherwise...... We won't be able to escape the catastrophe this time!"

Zhang Zhiyuan, who was beside him, looked in the direction where the two had fled at this moment, his face full of gratitude and admiration. (To be continued......)
