Chapter 441: Zhang Daoyuan
Liu Qingyan looked at the swamp in front of him, and his mind flashed. The swamp below is not strong, and there are crocodiles in it, judging from the sword qi of Xi Yan and Zhang Hu just now, those crocodiles have extremely high defense, and it will take some effort to kill them.
Another point is that in such a large swamp, there must be more than one crocodile in it, and if you go deeper, I don't know how many will pop up.
The other route is to fly over it. But there seems to be some kind of ban on it, and if you touch it, it will cause thunderclouds to descend. That kind of thunder and lightning power is not pleasant.
She smiled bitterly and shook her head, these two roads are not easy to walk, and she can't find where Cheng Ling is at this time. If he was here, he would be able to easily lift the ban in mid-air, and even if he didn't lift it, the power of those thunderbolts might still be able to become nourishment for him to improve his cultivation.
She still remembered that in the Sword Shrine Secret Realm, Cheng Ling absorbed a large amount of thunder and lightning power to improve her cultivation.
hesitated for a long time, and didn't think of any good way for a while. Just as he was about to discuss with Xi Yan and Zhang Hu, his consciousness moved, and he saw someone coming over from a distance.
Looking up, the other party was the leader of the group of loose cultivators, Zhang Daoyuan.
He came very quickly, rushed to the three of them before tea time, glanced at them, looked at the swamp in front of him, frowned, and asked, "Three fellow Daoists, what is the situation here?"
Liu Qingyan said indifferently: "We searched for materials all the way, and gradually came here, and now this swamp, but you can't enter it, you are here." ”
Zhang Daoyuan instinctively didn't believe it, all the valuable herbs along the way were scavenged, and now he came to this swamp, if there were no precious treasures, where would he stay here. What's more, he still appeared, and there were a few footprints on the swamp floor.
Just seeing the expressions of the three people, they would definitely not tell them easily, and they rushed into the swamp as soon as their bodies moved. Since you don't say it, I'll go and check it out myself.
Xi Yan and Zhang Hu were startled and hurriedly planned to intercept them, but Liu Qingyan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, let him go!" Just to see what kind of situation is in the swamp. ”
The two nodded, and then fell silent.
As soon as Zhang Daoyuan stepped into the swamp, he felt that something was wrong, the swamp ground was very soft, and there seemed to be a strong suction force coming from below. He connected his feet, lifted his breath and jumped about ten feet away, and suddenly felt a chill in his back.
Instinctively, he flashed to the right, and out of the corner of his eye, he swept over a crocodile that was more than three feet long with its mouth wide open and bit it. Fortunately, his vigilance was high enough, and he only bit the long shirt on his arm, if not, he was afraid that the whole person would be swallowed.
He was shocked, but he didn't give up on exploring. There is danger, and there must be precious treasures ahead. He took off the bitten clothes, and his upper body was shirtless, and the tattered clothes were infused by Zhenyuan, forming a long stick.
The tail of the long stick was slightly towards the back of the crocodile, and with the help of the force, it jumped forward more than ten feet, and when it reached the second foothold, several crocodiles appeared under the feet, some of which were very dangerous, and they could jump high to attack.
Fortunately, he was cautious and always on guard, and several consecutive attacks were flashed, and his figure moved forward a large distance.
"Sister Qingyan, if this continues, he will enter the central area. Xiyan said anxiously.
"Don't worry, don't you show up, the closer you get to the central area, the more that kind of crocodile gets? ”
Xiyan looked down, her face turned pale, and she felt like she wanted to vomit. The crocodiles below have increased to hundreds, one by one, with their mouths wide open, looking at Zhang Daoyuan in mid-air, as if they are ready for him to fall at any time.
And the shape of that crocodile is extremely ferocious, with sharp teeth in the big mouth of the blood basin, two eyes bulging outward, and the whole body is pitch black, and there are bubble-like protrusions, and the defense is extremely strong.
Zhang Daoyuan also broke out in a cold sweat, he knew that he couldn't go any further, not to mention what kind of treasure was in the middle of the swamp and didn't know, even if he knew, it would be difficult to avoid the attacks of these crocodiles by himself.
I was very unwilling in my heart, and my eyes swept ahead, and I vaguely seemed to see a few low spirit plants. His face changed, and he vaguely thought of something, but he was not sure. It's just that it's better to get out of the swamp first.
Turning around, the long stick in his hand connected the dots, and in a few vertical leaps, he retreated to the edge of the swamp.
He glanced at the three of them and said, "Three fellow Daoists, you must have known the clues of the middle area of the swamp!"
Liu Qingyan said indifferently: "Didn't Daoyou go in, isn't there anything to show up?"
Zhang Daoyuan was stunned for a while, thinking about it for a long time, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, these three people are so good-looking, I don't know which force they are disciples. It's just that the opportunity in front of you must not be easily missed, and if you can't do it alone, then rely on people to pile it up.
Thinking of this, he took out a sound transmission jade slip from his hand, said a few words into it, sat down cross-legged, waited quietly, and ignored Liu Qingyan and the three of them.
Zhang Hu said: "Uncle Shi, I'm afraid he is going to find those monks to help, what should we do?"
"Don't worry, it's hard to capture the fairy flower, there are too many crocodiles in the swamp. With the strength of the three of us, I'm afraid we can't get it easily. He has recruited a lot of monks, who can pull those crocodiles, and it will also help us, so let's wait and see what happens!"
The two nodded silently, and then sat down cross-legged with her, waiting quietly.
After about half an hour, the divine sense swept over, and hundreds of monks rushed over. Liu Qingyan was careful, and when he observed carefully, there were no monks from the Murong family, the Ethereal Snow Sect and the Zhao family, most of the people who came were people from small sects and families, and there were some scattered cultivators.
Secretly relieved in his heart, it seems that this Zhang Daoyuan also knows that if the monks of the three major forces learn about the situation here, they will definitely not be able to stop easily, but they understand it tightly and know the secret hidden in it for the time being.
Hundreds of monks came, and Zhang Daoyuan got up and told them about the situation one by one. Finally, he said: "According to my observations, those few spirit plants must not be simple, otherwise the surrounding environment would definitely not be so harsh, and they must have absorbed the essence." ”
"As long as everyone is careful of the crocodiles in the swamp, whoever gets the treasure will be his, no different!"
Everyone was in high spirits, and the male cultivators all learned his method and took off the previous one, but the female cultivators were embarrassed, and hundreds of big men were shirtless. In that scene, the thin-skinned people didn't know where to look with their eyes, and the thick-skinned ones gave them guidance with relish.
"This senior brother is so strong! The slave family is excited when he sees it, how about we have a chance to have a good experience in cultivating the Dao?"
"Cut, you kid is not well-raised, just three taels of meat, looking at it is all stumbling. ”
"Young man, look at your fine skin and tender meat, you are still a child's chicken, my sister is blessed!"
Xiyan's face was flushed when she heard this, and her mouth was clear, but she didn't know what to say
What the.
Liu Qingyan was at ease, his eyes swept over the monks, and there was not much change. Zhang Hu secretly admired in his heart, the master was really strong and ......!
Back to the topic, Zhang Daoyuan saw that everyone was learning his method, but he couldn't cry or laugh, and shook his head secretly in his heart, these monks are really a rabble, and they don't have any ideas of their own. But that's fine, I was going to let people be cannon fodder, and I was too shrewd to control it.
As soon as he gave the order, the group rushed into the swamp.
Suddenly, the crocodiles in the swamp popped up one by one. The crowd was not afraid, and it was naturally much easier to accept it than to rush out suddenly. Hundreds of monks, in groups of three or five, fought with the crocodiles.
Liu Qingyan looked at the past, although those crocodiles had strong defenses, there were many people who could not withstand the attack, and each crocodile almost had to face the attack of several monks. Moreover, these people are basically above the merger period, and the treasures in their hands are not ordinary, but they have killed many of them.
This time, it was convenient, they stepped on the carcass of the crocodile, not afraid of being sucked into the swamp at all, and pushed all the way to the depths.
However, the crocodiles were not easy to get along with, and the further they went, the more crocodiles appeared, and the monks had to slow down their progress and continue to fight with them.
This time, the number of crocodiles was far higher than that of the monks, numbering thousands, and the battle suddenly became fierce. At the same time that crocodiles died in large numbers, many monks also died in the mouths of crocodiles.
Zhang Daoyuan's face changed, he looked at the situation in the swamp, gritted his teeth, and continued to summon the rest of the monks to come. While commanding the monks who were still in the swamp, they resisted stubbornly.
Liu Qingyan watched coldly, secretly wary of the other party's ruthlessness in his heart, those monks didn't know what the reason was, they were willing to follow his orders, and this action was obviously to use them as cannon fodder and consume the number of crocodiles in the swamp.
However, under his command, the casualties of the monks were greatly reduced, and they gradually formed a standoff with the crocodiles in the swamp. It's just that the thick bloody aura spreads, and the number of crocodiles gathers more and more, and it seems more tyrannical.
It didn't take long for the second group of monks to arrive, and this time, hundreds of people came, and with the first batch of monks, it was almost a thousand.
Liu Qingyan smacked her tongue secretly, and her eyes looked at Zhang Daoyuan even more vigilantly.
When the second group of monks came, Zhang Daoyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered them to kill the crocodiles in the swamp. After issuing the order, he turned his head to look at Liu Qingyan and the others, and said indifferently: "Three fellow Daoists, after watching it for so long, should you also make some efforts." ”
Liu Qingyan said indifferently: "You kill the crocodile by yourself, we don't participate!"
"Well, that's not that easy, either just go into the swamp and kill the crocodiles, just like them, or stay here forever!"
"Oh, you and I have no grievances, why so?"
"Don't think I don't know, those spirit plants in the central area of the swamp are definitely not ordinary, you have been guarding the sidelines, just to reap the benefits of the fishermen!"
"Here, the three of us appeared first, you intervened, you have already taken it by force, and now you are aggressive, I'm afraid you want to swallow the treasure alone!"
"Nonsense, hundreds of our friends work together, what treasures are naturally enjoyed together, where is it so filthy like you. If you don't make a move, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
