Chapter 177: Seducing the Demon Crocodile
The monk who attracted the attention of this mid-stage Jindan iron crocodile was not a bystander, it was Ling Xiao, an early-stage Jindan monk who was traveling with Xiao Chuan.
According to Shi Bin's plan to divide and eat, attracting a small number of killer iron crocodiles from the population to achieve the purpose of dispersing opponents is undoubtedly the most basic and critical link in the entire plan.
As a water-attribute spiritual root cultivator, Ling Xiao has a unique advantage in underwater action, and naturally becomes the primary candidate for this link.
Although Ling Xiao did not have a magic weapon that specialized in water escape like the Gu family monk Yinsuo, but just by virtue of the fit between the spiritual root and the surrounding environment, the speed of escape in the lake was really not slow.
In addition, this Jindan mid-stage iron crocodile was afraid of alarming other iron crocodiles to come over and get a piece of the pie, so he didn't dare to make too much movement, just pretended to be indifferent, and followed behind Ling Xiao unhurriedly.
According to the agreement with Shi Bin in advance, Ling Xiao's task was to try to lure one or two murderous iron crocodiles to the vicinity of the base camp established by Xiao Chuan and his party at the bottom of the lake, and then everyone would jointly kill them.
However, if it attracts the attention of more than three murderous iron crocodiles, Ling Xiao must quickly escape from the range of activities of the murderous iron crocodiles as soon as possible, and can only return to the base camp after completely getting rid of the pursuit, which is also the most important reason for Ling Xiao, who is the fastest and most sure to escape the pursuit underwater, as the bait.
And now this iron crocodile's move is in the hands of Ling Xiao, and being able to lure a demon crocodile out of the population without knowing it is undoubtedly the best state that can be achieved in this decoy operation.
Ling Xiao pretended to be unaware of the Killer Iron Crocodile's tracking, and always maintained a moderate speed, quietly and slowly moving away from the range of the Killer Iron Crocodile population.
And this murderous iron crocodile also had a ghost in his heart, and did not dare to disturb his companions, so he followed Ling Xiao alone and left the area where the population was active.
In this way, Ling Xiao and this mid-Jindan Murderous Iron Crocodile did not attract any attention from other Iron Crocodiles, and gradually moved away from the population one after the other, reaching a distance that could not be perceived by the ordinary Jindan Stage Demon Beast Divine Sense.
"It's almost done!" It was the exact same thought that flashed through the minds of Ling Xiao and the murderous iron crocodile at the same moment.
As a result, Ling Xiao and the Iron Crocodile Thirsty as if they had agreed in advance, accelerated their speed almost at the same time.
"It's not good, it's still discovered by him!" This was Ling Xiao's first reaction after starting at full speed, because he had already determined that he would not be discovered by other companions at this distance, the iron crocodile twisted his waist to show his strongest ability, and rushed towards Ling Xiao at full speed.
But Ling Xiao had already prepared, and he didn't hurry to sacrifice the Nine Dragons Exquisite Cup, and nine phantom black dragons several feet long spiraled out of the cup, and the beards of the Nine Dragons Black Dragons continued to extend and entangle, intertwining together to pull Ling Xiao down.
The power of the Nine Dragons erupted at the same time, speeding up Ling Xiao's speed by as much as fifty percent, and even if he tried his best to kill the iron crocodile, he couldn't close the distance between him and Ling Xiao in a short period of time.
Fortunately, Ling Xiao was afraid that this murderous iron crocodile would lose its target, so he slowed down from time to time and waited for it deliberately, always maintaining a distance not far and not close, hanging the appetite of this murderous iron crocodile, so that it would not give up completely.
And this murderous iron crocodile is extremely coveted by the human monk in front of him, seeing that it is not far from the prey, but it is always a little bit short of being able to catch up, since it has been following for so long, it is not willing to give up easily, so it has always been in pursuit.
I don't know how long it took, and before I knew it, this murderous iron crocodile in the middle of Jindan had left the population very far away, approaching the place where Xiao Chuan and the others were waiting.
Here, Xiao Chuan had set up dozens of magic circles in advance, many of which had hidden aura, which made this murderous iron crocodile unaware of the danger he was about to face.
Even when Ling Xiao suddenly stopped his body and turned to face it, the Iron Crocodile, who was thirsty for killing, thought that this human monk had exhausted his spiritual energy and couldn't do it, and secretly rejoiced.
Just as humans are disdainful when facing demon beasts, in the eyes of powerful demon beasts like iron crocodiles, human cultivators are also just delicious dishes, and no one will be bored enough to talk to their own dishes.
Therefore, this murderous iron crocodile didn't say much, and with a flick of the iron tail, he opened his bloody mouth and rushed straight towards Ling Xiao, his sharp teeth shining like a sharp sword with a soul-piercing light.
Ling Xiao was able to introduce a single one into an ambush in a group of murderous iron crocodiles, this task was completed very beautifully, and he couldn't help but be a little proud, facing the menacing attack of the iron crocodiles, he suddenly smiled and said: "Demon, you want to eat me, you are still tender!"
Although this murderous iron crocodile looks like a beast, no matter how you say it, it also has the cultivation of the Jindan period, and the spiritual wisdom has already been opened, so it is natural to understand people's words, and when he sees Ling Xiao so arrogant, he is also a little stunned.
Although he had doubts in his heart, his thirst for killing iron crocodiles did not stop for a while, and he still went straight to the sky.
Seeing that Ling Xiao didn't dodge or dodge, he looked fearless, and the iron crocodile was also alert, but he didn't find anything abnormal under his divine sense.
"Maybe I'm overthinking!" all this happened between the lightning and flint, and the iron crocodile was relieved when a thought flashed through his mind.
But just when the sharp teeth of the iron crocodile were about to touch Ling Xiao's body, Ling Xiao had words in his mouth, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, a huge black iron stick suddenly fell from the sky with a continuous stick shadow, and in this case, the killing iron crocodile didn't have time to react at all, and was firmly smashed on the head by the black iron stick.
The one who wielded this thunderous stick was Jin Hao, a monk in the early stage of Jindan, although the aura of Jinxing was very rare in this Heavenly Martial Mirror Lake, but as a Jindan monk who mainly refined his body, Jin Hao was the least affected.
Although this sudden stick was still blocked by the powerful defense of the murderous iron crocodile scale armor, there was no terrifying sight of a brain burst.
However, the huge impact brought by Jin Hao's perverted powerful power still made this iron crocodile in the middle of Jindan churn inward, dizzy, and smashed.
And this nightmare of killing iron crocodiles had just begun, and while it was still immersed in the mutation just now, at a loss, a huge stone hammer fell out of nowhere.
Although there was a big gap between the strength and power of this stone hammer and the stick just now, it just fell when the iron crocodile was most confused, and it didn't give it any respite, just filling the gap in the black iron stick.
And when the shadow of the stone hammer dissipated, the continuous shadow of the black iron stick came again as promised, and in this way, the hammer and stick alternately fell, just like striking iron, and it made the iron crocodile have a headache and couldn't help himself.
