Chapter Twenty-Three: Smoke and Rain
The southern part of Xiazhou is a mortal world, with more than a dozen secular countries large and small. In these mortal worlds, imperial power is supreme, but there are also some rangers who violate the ban by force, robbers in Wuthering Mountains, or some masters who are reclusive.
And about three thousand miles to the north, is a huge swamp, no one knows how big this swamp is, this swamp is dangerous and abnormal, there are many poisonous insects and beasts, but at the same time, there are many strange flowers and plants and spiritual things.
It is rumored that there are elixirs that can bring people back to life and give birth to flesh and bones, as well as immortal grass that can make people live forever after eating, and even spiritual objects that make people become immortals and ascend after eating.
Therefore, these secular emperors often send people into Zezhong to seek the elixir of immortality, and some knights and martial artists often venture into Zezhong to carry out adventures.
Some of these people got some elixir from the outside of the swamp and returned, and some died inside, but none of them came back from the depths of the swamp.
It is rumored that these people have ascended to the Tao, but many more believe that they died in Zene.
Because this Daze is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and it rains for almost half the year, the people in Xiazhou call this Daze smoke and rain.
At this moment, Li Hui and Han Xue were standing above this smoke and rain with their swords in the air.
As far as the eye can see, this smoke and rain are boundless, and the entire Daze is hidden in a layer of tulle-like mist, like a dream. Under the sun, some of the mist folded shè colorful facesè came.
Li Hui's face changed, the colorful mist looked beautiful, but it was a highly poisonous miasma, and this Daze is so wide, there must be demon beasts in it, I'm afraid that the road to Ziwei City will not be peaceful.
I couldn't help but wonder if the Qi Refining Period monk named Guo Feng was deliberately pitting him, such a big swamp, which must be dangerous and abnormal, and it was really suspicious that he could pass through safely as a Qi Refining Period monk.
In fact, that Guo Feng did not take this path from the cultivation realm to this worldly world, but took another safe and fast route. However, that road had to go more than a thousand miles to the east, and Guo Feng didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, so he didn't tell Li Hui.
"Xue'er, let's enter this smoke and rain! I'm afraid we will have to travel a few miles to reach that Ziwei City. Li Hui said to Han Xue on the side.
Han Xue nodded, and as soon as the two of them urged their feet, the flying sword turned into two rays of light, one purple and one white, and flew towards the depths of this smoke and rain.
In a few flashes, the figures of the two had disappeared into the faint fog and disappeared.
......
A few hours later, the two have gone deep into this smoke and rain for hundreds of miles, the scenery in this Daze is beautiful, beautiful and colorful, along the way occasionally encountered some ordinary birds of prey flying by, and a few blind birds of prey attacked the two, and the result was naturally killed by Li Hui with a sword, and fell into this Daze.
The two gradually relaxed, pointing out the scenery along the way as they hurried.
"Li Hui, look, it's such a beautiful lake!" Han Xue pointed to the huge lake in front of him and said to Li Hui excitedly.
I don't know how many miles the lake is, just in front of the two of them.
The water on the lake is not rippling, the breeze blows lightly, and the water is sparkling and rippling. Looking into the distance, Yan Sè is a little deeper, and gradually becomes a deep blue. The green trees by the lake are surrounded, the light clouds in the sky are lingering, reflected in the water, the water and the sky are beautiful.
Li Hui's heart moved, and he smiled and said to the beautiful woman next to him: "Xue'er, haven't you always wanted to go boating on the water? Let's go boating on this lake!"
"Okay, good!" Han Xue cheered like a child.
Li Hui smiled, and the two of them set up sword light and fell towards the lake.
Han Xue was happily running on the grass by the lake, but when she reached the lake, she suddenly stopped, turned her head to look at Li Hui and muttered with some confusion: "There is no boat!"
Li Hui smiled mysteriously, waved his hand forward, and in the flash of white light, there was already a small boat with a length of feet floating on the lake, which was the flying treasure from Xiao Shaojun.
Han Xue looked at it and smiled dumbly, although this windbreaker is boat-shaped, it is usually used to fly in the sky, but I didn't expect it to really come in handy on this water today.
The two of them floated on the windbreaker and sat down in the middle of the week, Li Hui used a little spiritual power to urge the windbreaker to walk slowly on the water.
The mountains are like daisies, the green water is like ying, and the beauty is like jade, Li Hui looked at Han Xue who was sitting on the side of the boat and playing in the water, and saw the wind blowing her beautiful long hair, and couldn't help but be a little obsessed.
The Wind Breaker slowly walked through the lake, and after half an hour, there was still an endless water surface in front of him.
The two were still in high spirits, splashing water on each other on the boat and playing.
At the bottom of the lake, which is dozens of zhang below the water surface, it is as black as lying a rough rock several zhang long, and when the wind breaker passes over the water above this rock, this rock actually moves, and on the tip of the triangular stone, a pair of eyes shining with cold light are revealed.
Immediately the whole "rock" moved, and with a swing of its tail, four claws as thick as the trunk of a tree were exposed, and the huge mouth was filled with two rows of sharp teeth like sharp knives up and down—it was not a rock, but a ferocious water monster iron rock crocodile.
The iron rock crocodile silently followed the windbreaker at the bottom of the water, slowly approaching step by step, without splashing at all.
On the windbreaker, Li Hui and Han Xue were not aware of the approaching danger at all, and were still frolicking.
"Whoa...... Bang!"
Suddenly there was a huge wave on the surface of the lake, and then there was a loud bang, and the windbreaker had been lifted into the air, and it fell backwards on its side.
"Ahh
Han Xue was playing in the water by the boat, when the Wind Breaker suddenly overturned, and she didn't have time to react for a while, so she fell into the water with a scream.
"Whew!"
With a roar, a monster with a huge triangular tip poked its head out of the water and opened its bloody mouth to bite Han Xue who had fallen.
In the mouth of the huge beast, two rows of Bai Lili's teeth stood up like sharp knives, and a pair of small eyes shone with a greedy and ferocious light.
"Whew!"
Just when he saw that Han Xue was about to be bitten by this beast's mouth, a black shadow flashed, picked Han Xue up by the waist, quickly dodged away, and flew diagonally upward.
Li Hui stepped on the purple electric sword, and stood at a height of more than ten zhang with Han Xue in his arms, coldly looking at the demon beast that came out of the lake below.
The body of the iron rock crocodile below had completely emerged from the water, several zhang long from head to tail, and its broad back was as rough and uneven as the bark of an old tree, as if it were made of black iron.
"Bang!"
The black iron crocodile missed, flipped over in the air, and fell heavily into the water again, setting off waves several feet high, disappearing into the water, and the lake was calm again after a while.
At this time, the Wind Breaker had been put into the storage bag by Li Hui, but Han Xue was still held in Li Hui's arms with both hands.
"Don't let me go down yet!" Han Xue whispered with a blushing face.
Li Hui reacted at this time, his eyes were withdrawn from the lake, looking at the beauty in his arms, at this time, Han Xue's face was as delicate as a peach blossom, with ten thousand styles, and when Li Hui saw it, he felt even more shy.
Li Hui hugged Han Xuexiang on the shoulder with one hand, but the other hand was between the crooks of the legs, although through a layer of clothes, he could still feel the soft delicate body, and the faint body fragrance of the girl came from his nose, and he couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart, and a stream of heat quickly rose from his abdomen and went straight to his brain.
Trying to suppress the impulse in his heart, after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Li Hui reluctantly put Han Xue down, and his face was still a little demented looking at the beauty's face.
Han Xue noticed Li Hui's abnormality, smiled a little shyly, and said coquettishly: "Idiot, still look! That demon beast should come up again in a while!"
Only then did Li Hui remember that there was still a demon beast waiting below at this time, and he withdrew his gaze with some embarrassment, and his spiritual sense reached out to probe in the lake below.
Han Xue also sacrificed the Clear Frost Sword, her face turned cold, and the spirit stone poked out to find the trace of the demon beast that had just attacked her.
At that moment just now, Li Hui had already judged that it should be a fourth-level demon beast iron rock crocodile, which probably had the strength of the late stage of foundation building.
The classification of demon beasts below the Jindan stage is not so detailed, all the demon beasts in the foundation building period, collectively referred to as the fourth-level demon beasts, this iron rock crocodile has reached the strength of human monks in the late stage of foundation building, and the real combat power is probably stronger.
Suddenly, Li Hui's eyebrows raised, and his spiritual sense had already found the location of the iron rock crocodile. This iron rock crocodile is also really cunning, and at this time it has already circled the back of the two from the bottom of the water, and is about to escape from the water at this time.
"Xue'er, behind it!" Li Hui said.
Han Xue had also discovered the existence of the Iron Rock Crocodile through her spiritual sense, and nodded after hearing Li Hui's transmission, and the Frost Sword flashed and was ready.
"Wow!"
There was a loud bang on the surface of the lake, and the iron rock crocodile suddenly burst out of the water, bringing a wave of spray, and pounced on the two from behind.
Li Hui and Han Xue glanced at each other, and the two turned around at the same time.
"Whew!"
The Clear Frost Sword in Han Xue's hand flew out of his hand, turning into a cold light and stabbing towards the iron rock crocodile.
"Whew!"
Li Hui was holding the purple electric sword, and flew directly towards the iron rock crocodile.
As a fourth-level demon beast, the iron rock crocodile can also fly in the air, but the speed is greatly reduced compared to it in the water, and the sneak attack cannot be achieved, so it pounces with its teeth and claws ready to fight the two of them.
"Ding!"
The Clear Frost Sword stabbed on the triangular tip of the Iron Rock Crocodile, but it was not injured in the slightest, and it made a sound like the resonance of gold and iron.
The iron rock crocodile shook its head, and the frost sword was knocked to the side.
"Ding, ding, ding!"
Li Hui had already killed this matter, and the purple electric sword kept stabbing out, but like Han Xue, he failed to hurt this iron rock crocodile in the slightest.
"Whew!"
The iron rock crocodile was also enraged, this human actually chose to fight with him, and the huge crocodile tail flicked, and it was drawn towards Li Hui with a fierce wind sound.
Li Hui's body floated, dodging this pump.
At this time, Han Xue's Clear Frost Sword attacked again, although it couldn't break the defense of this Iron Rock Crocodile, but this Iron Rock Crocodile didn't dare to let the flying sword poke at him, and he waved his claws to block the Clear Frost Sword.
As soon as Li Hui turned around, he also rushed forward with the purple electric sword in his hand, and flexibly maneuvered around the iron rock crocodile to continue attacking.
The two of them were close to each other, and the other was attacking from a distance, and they responded to each other, and for a while, this iron rock crocodile also felt that it was being attacked everywhere, and it could only rely on the thick skin and flesh to carry it.
After a quarter of an hour of stalemate, the Iron Rock Crocodile gradually discovered that the human in front of him who was attacking with a sword in close quarters was extremely flexible, and he couldn't even touch his side. And the human who made the flying sword in the distance was far inferior to the human in close proximity in terms of the agility and strength of the flying sword.
Persimmon has to pick up soft pinching, this truth, this iron rock crocodile with not low intelligence seems to understand.
"Roar!"
The Iron Rock Crocodile roared angrily, ignoring Li Hui's attack, and flew forward and rushed straight towards Han Xue.
