Chapter Twenty-Four: The Horned Crocodile Appears
When Kui Wei's words came, several people in the team immediately held their breath and condensed, not daring to make a sound casually, so as not to alarm the horned crocodile.
Seeing that he was approaching the crocodile's lair, Ning Xi's expression also became vigilant, and he immediately lightened his steps and slowly cleared the branches that stood in the way.
Following the steps of Kui Wei and the others in front of him, he walked a distance of about twenty steps, and there was a trickling sound in his ears.
Suddenly the eyes opened up, and a tall rock wall came into view.
Between the gaps on both sides of the rock wall, green trees and green shadows are swaying, uneven.
The middle part of the rock wall is as smooth as a mirror, and from the top a trickle, it forms a curtain of white flowers, pouring straight down.
Accompanied by the sound of "bang" running water, it stirred in the sparkling pool below, splashing strings of crystal snow small water droplets.
Kui Wei stopped not far from the waterhole, he turned his head, looked at Ning Xi and the others, and pointed to the small tree growing obliquely under the water curtain in front of him.
Following his line of sight, Ning Xi found that the tree had a few red fruits.
Seeing this, Chen Yun and Du Tao beside them showed ecstasy in their eyes, and their breathing became short.
Ning Xi realized that this was the so-called Yunling Fruit, and he was also overjoyed.
Looking at the Yun Ling Fruit at her fingertips, she really wanted to rush up at this moment and pick all the Yun Ling Fruits, so that a few people could divide them equally and go back quickly.
However, thinking that this was the old nest of the horned crocodile, Ning Xi forced the impulse in his heart and did not dare to take it lightly.
At this time, Kui Wei's face was calm, and he exchanged glances with Ning Xi and the others, and waved his hand.
Ning Xi and the others understood what Kui Wei meant, and according to the previous arrangement he had arranged, several people dispersed.
Then, Kui Wei stepped forward a few steps, stopped, took out a dark pill from the storage bag, flicked his index finger, and shot it into the water.
In the blink of an eye, where Danmaru fell into the water, there was a "grunt", and a black bubble bubbled out.
After a few breaths, more and more black blisters came out of the surrounding area, and the sound of "gurgling" became one.
The pool of water, which used to be turquoise and clear, has now turned into a jet black, and at the same time, there is a strong fishy smell in the air.
Ning Xi had already plugged his nose with the prepared strip of cloth.
According to the plan arranged by Kui Wei, he first led the horned crocodile hidden in the dark part of the waterhole to the shore, and then everyone worked together to destroy the horned crocodile.
This is because the horned crocodile likes water by nature and is familiar with the water environment, if you stay in the water, like a tiger with wings, it is in an absolute advantage.
If a few of them go into the water to fight with them again, they will undoubtedly ask for their own hardships.
If you're not careful, your life may be in danger!
However, once the horned crocodile is brought ashore from the detriment water, it will be subject to the surrounding environment, its advantages will not be able to be brought into play, and its strength will be greatly reduced.
And the risk taken by Ning Xi and the others picking the Yunling Fruit is bound to be reduced a lot.
Therefore, when Kui Wei proposed this plan, Ning Xi and the others also deeply agreed.
Just now, what Kui Wei took out in his hand was a dirty pill.
This pill has a pungent and unpleasant smell, and it is specially used to deal with low-level demon beasts.
Seeing that the dirty pill had a reaction in the water, Ning Xi, who was hiding on the side, stared at the calm pool with unblinking eyes.
She also took out the flying sword in her hand as soon as she appeared, and as soon as the horned crocodile appeared, she was ready to launch an attack with several other people.
After a while, a cloud of dark green scales appeared on the surface of the water, and circles of water rippled with it.
Seeing the movement coming from the water, Ning Xi held his breath, his eyes fell on the scales, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment.
After Kui Wei saw this, his eyes froze, took out a pair of bright and dangling chain hooks, and deliberately touched the chain hook in his hand, making a "dangdang" sound, trying to attract the attention of the horned crocodile.
Sure enough, the horned crocodile that surfaced did not disappoint Kui Wei and discovered the enemies within its territory.
In the face of provocation, it quickly swam from the water to the shore, and there was a sound of "hula hula", setting off a churning splash.
The ferocious horned crocodile came ashore from the water in a few breaths, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced on Kui Wei.
At this time, Ning Xi saw the true face of the horned crocodile, saying that it was a horned crocodile, which was actually very similar to a crocodile, but it was a little different.
Its body was more than a foot long, with blood-red curved horns on its head, a pair of eyes the size of chicken eggs, a cold light, and a green scale armor on the surface of its body, which was extremely thick.
What's even more terrifying is that the tail is full of hooks, like dog's teeth intertwined, sharp and terrifying.
Kui Wei signaled to Ning Xi and a few people who were hiding not far away, not to act rashly, and at the same time lifted the hook chain without saying a word, and threw it with his big hand.
The hook chain was mixed with a hissing sound, turned into a streamer, and in the blink of an eye, it flashed in front of the horned crocodile and smashed towards the front of the horned crocodile.
But the horned crocodile was not afraid at all, his body twisted, and under the flicking of his tail, it was like a flexible long whip, and there was a "clang" sound, like an iron stone.
The hook chain was blocked, Kui Wei's eyes were slightly startled, he didn't continue to entangle, and hurriedly retreated behind him.
Seeing the situation, the horned crocodile refused to give up, his eyes were fierce, he roared, and pounced forward.
Just as Ning Xi pinched a cold sweat for Kui Wei and pondered whether to step forward to help, there was a sudden sound on the surface of the water.
The second horned crocodile couldn't stand the fishy smell and surfaced, and it also spotted Kui Wei and pounced on it.
"Let's do it quickly and stop the back of these two animals!"
Seeing that the second horned crocodile also appeared, Kui Wei's eyes flashed and he shouted.
As soon as Kui Wei's words fell, Ning Xi and the others immediately rushed out from the side, moved closer to the back, and quickly surrounded the two horned crocodiles.
For a while, the hiss of the magic weapon and the roar of the horned crocodile were mixed together, and they were endless.
And just when Ning Xi and the others were fighting fiercely with the horned crocodile, two young men sneaked over cautiously.
"Hey, someone is fighting with the horned crocodile? It's not from our Holy Courtyard, senior brother, should we go over and help?"
Hidden in the dark, a round-faced man whispered to a man next to him after seeing the situation on the field.
"Hehe, do you really want to go over and help?" said the white man beside him, with a smile.
"I'm genuinely helping, but only when they're about to kill those two crocodiles.
But after helping, the two crocodiles had to be paid for us. ”
The corners of the round-faced man's mouth were hooked, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Senior brother, you are so thoughtful, take advantage of the excuse to help, and when the time comes, under duress, let the family give you the horned crocodile that you have hunted so hard, and after you have the horned crocodile, you can cope with the teacher's assessment, right?"
The white man grinned.
"This is only a horned crocodile in the Qi Cultivation Realm, although the assessment score is a little less, but since I have encountered it, I will naturally not let it go, just a few guys in the Qi Cultivation Realm, can you not let it go to us?
The round-faced man's eyes flashed, but he said his intentions very calmly.
"Hehe, then we'll just wait. ”
The two looked at each other and understood.
