Chapter Seventy-Four: Water Arrows
As those Qi Refining Realm disciples disembarked from the boat and headed towards the depths of the Demon Island, the big ship docked on the side of the seaside causeway quickly fell silent. On the deck, Niu Xiong and Zeng Zhibai glanced at each other, both frowning slightly, and the taller Niu Xiong glanced at the cabin, a little angry, and said, "He just doesn't care?"
Zeng Zhibai, who was standing beside him, also looked disdainful, and said coldly: "It seems that it is." ”
Niu Xiong grinded his teeth, took a sip, and said: "The task of hunting demons on the Demon Island has always been risky, Senior Brother Wang Gan has warned several times and three times, you must secretly protect all the junior brothers and sisters of the Qi Refining Realm and not relax, he, Lin Hu, as the duty of the Demon Island, actually let go of it like this, but let the two of us take care of it tirelessly?"
Zeng Zhibai sighed, recalling that Lin Hu looked like he had nothing to do with himself and went straight to the room just now, obviously looking like he was in charge, and he couldn't help but shake his head.
Niu Xiong's temper over there was obviously not particularly good, so he snorted there and said angrily: "Why don't the two of us go either, so as not to help him wipe his ass every day and look at his face! If something goes wrong on the island, Senior Brother Wang Yan will be angry and blame him, and see who will be unlucky?"
Zeng Zhibai hesitated for a moment, but still smiled bitterly: "Forget it, forget it, that guy is such a strange person, if he didn't know something, Senior Brother Wang Yan wouldn't have specially sent the two of us over." Besides, the people who went to the island were also junior brothers and sisters, and it would not be good if they were really accidentally injured by the demons and ghosts on the island. ”
Niu Xiong was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, although he looked at the expression on his face and was still a little reluctant, but in the end, he still put the overall situation first, and followed Zeng Zhibai and the two of them off the boat together.
Both of them are disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect who have cultivated to the realm of the Ning Yuan Realm, and their Taoism is far superior to those Qi Refining Realm juniors and sisters on the Demon Island today, but generally speaking, the monks cannot easily fly in the sky in the Ning Yuan Realm, unless they can get some rare flying magic weapons, the two of them are ordinary disciples in the Ling Xiao Sect, and they don't have that kind of opportunity, or they have the huge financial resources to go directly to the Immortal Society and other chambers of commerce to buy one, so in most cases, they can only walk on the ground.
However, the gap in the realm is there after all, the two of them crossed the long seawall with a few ups and downs, and came to the periphery of the forest, Zeng Zhibai glanced at the forest in front of him, and said: "I think it seems that most people have entered from here just now, but there are still a few people on the periphery of the island, what should I do, let's go and have a look separately?"
Niu Xiong thought about it, but shook his head and said: "The outermost circle of the demon island near the sea is nothing more than the low-level demon beasts of 'Iron Armor Armadillo', 'Blue Claw Crab' and 'Wind Bird', their combat power is average, as long as they are cultivated to the high level of the Qi Refining Realm, the physical strength tempered by spiritual power alone can almost be suppressed, so there is no need to bother to look at it." However, the deeper the demon island goes, the more powerful the monsters and ghosts are, and there are a few of them that are afraid that even the two of us will have some trouble coping, so it is better to go inside and watch it closer. ”
Zeng Zhibai nodded and said, "That's what I said, and most of the junior brothers and sisters just now went to the depths of the Demon Island, and it is indeed better to follow the past." ”
With their minds set, they both walked deeper into the woods, and in an instant they disappeared behind the foliage of the deep forest, leaving only a beachy causeway that had regained its calm, and the water gently lapping against the shore. And on the big boat in the distance, a figure suddenly appeared, but it was the short Lin Hu who didn't know when he came to the deck, and after seeing Niu Xiong Zeng Zhibai and the two enter the depths of the demon island, he raised his eyes and glanced at the depths of the demon island from afar, and in the sound of the waves, there seemed to be a few more terrible demon beast roars in the depths of the island.
A strange look flashed on Lin Hu's face, vaguely with a bit of anger, but it quickly flashed, and after hesitating and wandering on the side of the ship for a moment, he slowly shook his head, and turned around and walked back to the cabin.
※※※
The sound of the waves has been echoing in Shen Shi's ears, and along the long beach on the edge of the demon island, he has been moving forward cautiously.
The vegetation on this demon island seems to be particularly lush, and the raised slopes are full of dense forests as far as the eye can see, not to mention that even on the edge of this island, it is mostly covered by lush forests, only at the edge near the sea, there are some open and blank beaches.
At this moment, Shen Shi walked at the junction of the beach and the woods, most of the time he was closer to the beach, after all, those woods were full of leaves, who knows if there would be a demon beast jumping out of the back of a certain big tree when it would pounce.
After walking like this for a while, he gradually got some distance from the seawall on the island just now, and the coastline of Demon Island was not neat, and it was often curved and abrupt, so at this time, Shen Shi could no longer see the big ship, and he was the only one left on the long beach and outside the woods.
For some reason, in the gentle sound of the waves, Shen Shi suddenly felt that his mouth was a little dry, and his palms seemed to be a little strange, so he picked it up and took a look, but found that some cold sweat had oozed out of his palms at some point.
He silently wiped his palm on the clothes on his body, calmed down, and was about to continue to move forward to find the demon beast, when he suddenly heard a low strange cry from the woods about two feet away in front of him, the voice was sharp, like a baby crying.
Shen Shi's body was shocked, and he immediately stopped, his eyes were firmly fixed on that place, and after a while, he saw the grass and trees in front of him churning, but it was from under the trees in the forest, a demon beast walked out.
The head is like a rat, the whole body is covered in armor, the height is about the thigh of Shen Shi, the body is five feet long, and there is a big tail, it looks very strange, the most conspicuous place is the earthy yellow armor of the whole body, which is hard and bone at a glance, and it is very strong. At this moment, it took a turn on the beach, and soon found Shen Shi not far in front of it, and suddenly let out a low roar, turned around, and showed a bit of fierce light in its small eyes.
Shen Shi swallowed his saliva, his breathing became a little short, this was the first time in his life that he had faced this kind of wild and ferocious demon beast, it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous. But fortunately, before coming to Demon Island, he was more or less mentally prepared for this kind of scene, although he was nervous, he didn't lose control after all, and quickly recognized the origin of this demon beast.
If you want to collect all kinds of spiritual materials, you naturally need to know the source of the spiritual materials, and you must be familiar with the characteristics and appearances of various demon beasts and ghosts on the demon island. The monster beast in front of him is one of them:
Iron-armored armadillo, a first-order demon beast, powerful and thick-armored, and difficult to hurt by swords.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his footsteps did not move, but his right hand had been slowly raised, and at the same time, the spiritual power in the qi veins in his body was drumming, especially in the mysterious hole at the center of his eyebrows, the spiritual power that was originally condensed and fused was violently urged, and the magic of the water archery technique had already begun to operate.
The iron-armored armadillo has a very low ranking on the "Demon Beast Spectrum" promulgated by the Immortal Society, and it is considered to be the lowest ordinary demon beast, and at the same time, it is not a particularly aggressive and fierce demon beast in temperament, so when it was found that the two sides of Shen Shi began to confront each other, the iron-armored armadillo did not rush over to attack at the first time, but let out a threatening roar, intending to scare away this weak human.
But after seeing that Shen Shi not only did not run, but stared at himself and raised his arm, as if revealing a little bit of attack intent, the iron-armored armadillo suddenly became angry, no matter what, it was still a demon beast after all, and there was also a bit of fierceness in its body, and it was angered by Shen Shi's posture when it landed, and after roaring, the iron-armored armadillo kicked its hind feet, and its huge body rushed towards Shen Shi at once, and at the same time opened its big mouth, revealing the sharp teeth of Bai Sensen in its mouth.
Just after a breath, it has rushed out;
At the time of two breaths, it had already run past Zhangyu, and at the same time saw Shen Shi's arms shoulder-to-shoulder, and his five fingers stretched out;
At the third breath, the roar was already in his ears, the sharp fangs were not far away, and a transparent stream of water suddenly appeared in his palm.
Water-based and soft, changeable, can be all things, turned into arrows.
In the small eyes of the iron-armored armadillo, he clearly saw that the stream of water suddenly appeared in the hand of the human, and at the same time, at an extremely fast speed, as if it was being urged by the power of the five elements, it changed its shape and turned into a sharp arrow aimed at it in the blink of an eye. However, with the intelligence of the armadillo, the little head did not notice anything unusual, or saw anything, and at the moment its fierce eyes were just staring at this human, thinking that it would only take a few more moments to pounce on him and then bite off his neck!
It pounced, fangs and claws, roaring and roaring.
In mid-air, a bright light flashed, and transparent water arrows shot out, faintly bringing out a sharp roar that broke the sky, and rushed towards the iron-armored armadillo.
The iron-armored armadillo was in mid-air, and before it could even make any signs of response, it saw a flash of transparent and crystalline water arrows, and the next moment, a cold breath rushed directly into its big mouth.
"Boom!"
A low but somewhat terrifying voice erupted from the mouth of this demon beast, and the entire huge body that pounced was brutally beaten back, and suddenly fell from mid-air to the beach, and then before the armadillo claws covered his mouth, the red blood had already spurted out.
Shen Shi took a few steps back, widening the distance between himself and this demon beast, and at the same time, his heart was beating wildly, and he subconsciously began to condense the second water archery technique.
On the beach not far away, the iron-armored armadillo hissed and rolled twice, and then its body began to twitch, and at the same time, more and more blood flowed out of its mouth, and it didn't take long for the monster beast to quiet down on the beach, motionless, only blood stained the sand beside it.
Shen Shi waited for a while, walked over slowly, and tried to kick it with his foot, but the iron-armored armadillo did not react at all.
Shen Shi breathed a sigh of relief, it was only at this time that he felt that his body suddenly became a little weak, the short and simple but life-and-death battle just now was really an experience he had never had, looking at the sharp teeth and slender claws of the iron armadillo, as long as it beckoned to him, it must be the result of the skin and flesh blooming.
He slowly squatted down, and touched the palm of his hand on the hard leather armor of the iron armor armadillo, the tentacles were rough and hard, the bone armor of this demon beast was as hard as steel, and ordinary swords could not cut it at all, even if he had cultivated for three years and reached the middle level of the Qi Refining Realm, but if he really had to fight hand-to-hand, he might not be able to defeat it.
But a water archery technique, shot into the weakest mouth of the demon beast's body, put an end to all this.
