Although Jiao and dragon are similar, they are still very different, strictly speaking, they are two kinds of creatures.

In terms of living habits, dragons usually inhabit water, especially in the deep sea, while dragons live in the air, passing through clouds and mist, and rarely land.

In terms of appearance, Jiao is a single horn, straight and short, with no muzzle and nose, scales on its back and no scales on its abdomen, only a pair of front paws, and three toes, while the dragon has two horns, bifurcation, long whiskers on its head, scales on its whole body, four claws, and five toes.

Moreover, the size of the Jiao is smaller, while the size of the dragon is larger, and it is possible that the difference is ten times.

Then there is the strength, the strength of the dragon is not comparable to Jiao, a dragon can easily kill a group of Jiao, such as a world of difference.

However, it cannot be considered that Jiao is a weak chicken because of this, on the contrary, even Jiao is terrifyingly strong, even more terrifying than Rongyuan Zhenren, at least comparable to the True Monarch of the Tribulation.

And the creature that Qi An and Meng Yuxi saw in front of them, although it could fly in the sea of clouds and swim high in the sky, if you look closely, the one-horned, beardless, half-scaled, and clawed all kinds of characteristics show that it is not the legendary Tianlong, but a sea dragon.

As the saying goes, a ten-year snake, a hundred-year-old python, a thousand-year-old dragon, and a thousand-year-old dragon.

This does not refer to the age of life, but to the depth of cultivation, whether it is ten years, one hundred years, one thousand years, or ten thousand years, the length of cultivation time is used to represent the strength level of these four creatures.

Of course, this is only a general term and is not very precise.

There is also another saying that the snake is a python for a hundred years, and the python becomes a dragon for a thousand years, and the dragon will turn into a dragon after ten thousand years.

This seems to say that the dragon is changed from Jiao, and Jiao evolved from python, and the predecessor of python is a snake, which seems to regard snake, python, Jiao, and dragon as the same kind of creatures, evolving step by step.

This is not the case.

First of all, snakes have nothing to do with dragons at all, snakes have been cultivating for many years, and their size has increased, so they can indeed become pythons, but they can never become dragons.

The python and the snake can barely be regarded as the same kind of creature, the big python and the small snake, but only a very small number of powerful varieties born with the blood of the dragon can transform their life form after the tribulation through years of cultivation, and thus evolve into a dragon.

For example, the Moling Demon Python is one of the powerful giant pythons that has the potential to transform into a dragon.

And if Jiao wants to become a dragon, it is not just a matter of time, there are too many things involved, it is difficult to describe them all, just know that this probability is quite slim, just like a person becoming an immortal.

In other words, it is easy for a snake to become a python, and a python must have a bloodline premise when it becomes a python, and Jiaohua Dragon must rely on great chance, atmospheric luck, great wisdom, and great magical powers.

In terms of strength, it is natural to respect the dragon, followed by Jiao, python and snake again.

However, this is not absolute, even those pythons and snakes that do not have the blood of dragons are not necessarily weak, some rare varieties or individuals with great opportunities, if they can cultivate to an extremely high level, they can also have the ability to destroy the world.

This is just like human beings, some people live a long life, and they are still mortals until they die, and after a hundred years, there is a pile of loess; and some people are extremely talented, and they have the opportunity to be lucky, and then they soar to the sky and become a strong person with a long lifespan.

Therefore, the ranking order of dragons, dragons, pythons, and snakes is only about the starting point, and it is difficult to determine how much it can grow in the end.

But what is certain is that the dragon, a barbaric creature in ancient times, is the head of the four saints of the demon race, and is already very powerful from birth, and should be able to be compared with the legendary immortals, and the starting point of growth is much higher than that of Jiao.

Jiao can be regarded as a non-pure-blooded dragon, which is reborn and evolved from a creature with dragon blood to survive the catastrophe.

It can be seen that Jiao's realm is at the level of the demon king, and although its strength is not as strong as that of the dragon, it is also very powerful, at least comparable to the true monarch of the Tribulation.

There are even some Jiao who have experienced harm, they are more powerful than the Demon King, they are Demon Venerables, and they can compete with the World Venerables among the human monks.

Therefore, even if the creature that emerged from the sea was not a dragon, but a Jiao, it was enough to shock Qi An and Meng Yuxi.

In today's cultivation world, dragons have long been extinct, and Jiao is also rare, at least no one has seen them in the land of Kyushu, only in the vast deep sea, it is possible to get a glimpse.

This frog, known as the "Sea King", can easily pinch Qi An and the two of them to death even if it is weak, even if it is a Rongyuan real person who has cultivated to the top, it is like an ant in front of its eyes, and it can be easily slaughtered.

"This sea king turned out to be a frog, and he can also soar through the clouds and fog and fly high in the sky, it is almost impossible for us to escape it and land on the island!" Meng Yuxi frowned and shook his head lightly.

The frog flies very high and can see very widely, and it is difficult for the two of them to land on the island from the other end without being detected.

Even now, Qingjiao may have seen Qi An and Mengyuxi standing on the back of the swordfish, but as long as it doesn't enter its territory, it doesn't bother to pay attention.

While the two of them were thinking hard about the plan, the frog in the air suddenly dived, plummeted, returned to the sea, and disappeared after a huge wave, as if it had never appeared.

The sea calmed down, the sound of the roar was no longer there, and the majestic demonic aura before could not be felt, everything was back to the original, and there was no danger at all.

"What now?" Qi An looked at Mengyuxi, he couldn't make up his mind anymore.

"Wait and see!" Meng Yuxi replied lightly, her eyes still staring directly at the sea ahead.

Several more hours passed, and there was little change as far as the eye could see.

The sky was as blue as ever, with white clouds, and it seemed that the sky above this ocean would always be daylight, and it would not change for thousands of years.

The formation space exists in the secret realm, and the formation pattern changes the rules and builds the illusory, not the real world, there is neither the sun rising and the moon setting and the change of day and night, nor can the stars shine and the stars move, what is presented is always the scene that the creator wants others to see, and the environment is unchanged.

Qi An and Mengyuxi were still waiting, and the patience of the Great Cultivator of the God Refining Realm was far beyond imagination, even if they stood motionless for several days and nights, it would not be a problem.

It is a matter of an extremely powerful sea Jiao, so it has to be cautious, even if Meng Yuxi can see a trace of fate, it cannot be firmly grasped, it is likely that because of a small decision-making mistake, the established fate will be changed.

Fate is guiding you, you can't mess around, you must follow the rules, plan and then move, just like walking on a tightrope, you must go down that line, if you deviate from the direction, it is likely to be doomed.

Finally, after a long wait, someone appeared.

A black shadow walked along the waves, as if it were walking on the water, and from afar it hurried towards the huge island.

Because it was too far away, this person's figure fell into Qi An's eyes, it was just a small black spot, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly at all, and he didn't know which way the monk was.

But what is certain is that this person must have the cultivation of the pinnacle of refining gods, so that he can walk on the sea like flying and never fall.

Soon, the figure entered the sea area that was considered a forbidden area by the Swordfish King, and he did not stop at all, and walked straight in the direction of the island.

This person did not see the shocking scene of the frog taking off into the sky, nor did he hear the high-pitched and earth-shaking roar, maybe he didn't know that there was a terrifying creature hidden in the depths of the sea, so he dared to be so bold.

On the contrary, it was because there were a large number of swordfish tumbling and jumping on Qi'an's side, which made that person jealous, and deliberately avoided and kept a safe distance.

But I didn't know that with the speed of the swordfish swimming in the sea, if you really want to chase and kill the cultivators, no matter how fast you are, you can't escape.

Qi An and the others kept staring at the black shadow, ready to see if he would be ruthlessly killed by the frog.

However, strange things happened, this person did not encounter the slightest danger, and landed on the island unharmed, and the frog never appeared.

"What's going on?" Qi An was a little puzzled.

It stands to reason that with Qingjiao's strength that is at least comparable to that of the Tribulation True Monarch, the strength of the sense is far greater than that of the cultivators of the God Refining Realm, if anyone passes by on the sea, most of them will notice it, but why doesn't it make a move and let others come and go freely?

Meng Yuxi thought for a moment and speculated, "There may be two reasons, either the frog has fallen into a deep sleep again, or it has no hostility towards human monks. ”

Qi An said: "Could it be that it thinks human flesh is not delicious? Or is it that the person is too small, only a little bit, not enough to stuff his teeth?"

"The Rongyuan Great Demon has almost wiped out the beast nature, let alone the Demon King?" Meng Yuxi glared at Qi An angrily, feeling ridiculous and funny, "To that extent, the demon has broken away from the barbaric law of the jungle, which is enough to derive civilization, and it will not drink blood like a beast!"

This is true, beasts and demons still retain primitive instincts, devouring flesh and blood, liking to kill, and have a strong desire to attack; even many demon cultivators are like this, the beast nature remains, fierce and vicious, and they are often not polite in the face of the weak, and they will directly take their lives.

The Great Demon is not, the thinking and wisdom are similar to those of human beings, they know how to exercise restraint, and they have strong self-discipline, so there are Rongyuan Great Demons in many top sects, and they ...... In other words, they have almost integrated into human society, speaking principles, understanding rules, abiding by etiquette, knowing how to advance and retreat, almost no different from monks.

To put it bluntly, humans and demons are just a kind of living beings, as long as they are enlightened, they are higher beings, which are different from lower creatures that act on instinct. When the wisdom of the demon grows to a certain extent, the natural beast nature is exhausted, resulting in human nature, becoming more and more human-like.

Therefore, the frog that can survive the catastrophe naturally cannot be a man-eating monster, it is not pleasing to the eye, or it is in a bad mood, at most it is to be killed casually, and it is impossible to eat its flesh raw and drink its blood like a wild beast.

Qi An also had too little contact with demons, and most of the beasts and demons he saw, so he had a misunderstanding, thinking that as long as he was a demon, he would eat people.

And Meng Yuxi is much more knowledgeable because of the different environments she is in, and she has been with the big demon cat ears for many years, so she naturally knows the true appearance of high-level demon cultivators better than Qi An.
