Chapter 17 Muddy crocodile
Meng Ping's goal is a kind of spirit grass, named Purple Moon Zhilan, last time he found this precious spirit grass nearby, and was rewarded with ten soul flags by Elder Yan, although it is unlikely that he will encounter it again, but the place where Ziyue Zhilan can grow is definitely a treasure land suitable for the growth of spirit grass, even if he picks other spirit grass, it is also a good harvest.
However, Meng Ping was destined to be disappointed, he and Deng An searched for two hours, not to mention that Ziyue Zhilan did not find it, even the other spirit grasses did not find half of it.
In desperation, one person and one ghost had to prepare to leave.
There are only a few passable paths between the mudflats of tens of miles, and the rest of the place is covered with gray-brown mud, the shallow place may be only two or three feet, and the deep place may be more than ten meters, ordinary people and wild beasts fall into it, and it is difficult to have a chance of survival.
On top of the mud, there is a one-meter-tall plant that produces berries the size of walnuts in autumn. These berries are astringent to taste and of little use to monks, but when eaten by wild beasts, they can increase the strength of the flesh.
Therefore, every time the berries are ripe, a large number of beasts will come to adventure, trying to devour one and increase the bargaining chips for their evolution into monsters.
Due to the strong strength of the monsters themselves, they don't particularly care about berries, and only occasionally predators or newly evolved monsters will come to the mudflats for hunting, or for that little increase in strength.
Every year, thousands of wild animals die in this mudflat, accumulated over countless years, and I don't know how many dry bones are buried under the mudflats.
"Goo, goo......" Some bubbles spit out from the mudflats from time to time, and the pure yin qi deposited at the bottom was dispersed in the air, and along the way, Deng An floated left and right, snatching the yin qi in it into the soul body before the bubbles burst.
"Be careful!" Meng Ping suddenly stopped and looked vigilantly at the side of the mudflat, where the originally calm mud suddenly rolled in the mud, revealing the back of a demon beast, and then, its head floated out, and a pair of demonic red eyes slowly opened.
As the mud slipped from the demon beast, Deng An finally saw its original appearance. It was a crocodile-like monster with fangs baring out of its long jaws and an irregularly shaped piece of armor on its back, each the size of two fists.
"Dola mud crocodile!" Meng Ping's face changed drastically, and he almost exclaimed.
"Is it powerful?" Deng An was puzzled.
"The strength is equivalent to that of a peak cultivator of Qi cultivation, do you say that it is powerful? Let's not move for now, try not to provoke it, to avoid causing its hostility. ”
The multi-carat mud crocodile didn't seem to buy it, and a pair of red eyes kept sweeping between Meng Ping and Deng An, especially when he saw Deng An, he was obviously a little restless.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Meng Ping waved his soul flag and hurriedly said, "Deng An, go back quickly!"
However, it was too late, and the multicarapace mud crocodile did not hesitate and suddenly attacked. However, his goal is not Deng An but Meng Ping, perhaps, in its opinion, it is more in his interests to get rid of the relatively weak Meng Ping.
Meng Ping had already been on guard, which would make the multi-armor mud crocodile get his wish, and almost as soon as its body exploded, he had a judgment and quickly retreated a distance.
"Deng An, let's take down this evil beast together. ”
As long as they are not second-level demon beasts, they still have the strength to fight, and the multi-armor mud crocodile is just stopping on the way back, and it can't be done without doing it. What's more, Meng Ping didn't have much to gain from this trip, if he could kill this multi-armor mud crocodile and take its claws, leather armor and other things, he could also exchange it for more than 20 spirit stones, which was a lot of wealth.
Deng An's body turned into a cloud of yin qi, and he roared towards the multi-armor mud crocodile. Relatively speaking, as long as the first-order reptilian demon beasts did not have the ability to fly, it was difficult for them to pose much of a threat to him, and his actions were much more flexible, and he could easily dodge the attacks of these demon beasts.
The multi-carapace crocodile raised its head, and its red eyes locked on Deng An.
"Whoosh", a jet-black water arrow erupted from it without warning. Where the water arrow passed, the mist disappeared as soon as it was touched, as if it had been scalded by hot water, and a hole appeared.
The attack speed of this first-level peak demon beast exceeded Deng An's imagination.
Looking at the jet-black water arrow that attacked, Deng An felt the danger contained in it, this water arrow was by no means an ordinary water arrow, he didn't dare to resist with his soul body, and hurriedly transformed into a ring. The water arrow arrived in the blink of an eye, almost flying close to his soul body, and a few drops of black liquid even stuck to the soul body, making a "zizi" sound, quickly dissolving the yin qi that made up the soul body, but fortunately, the amount of black liquid was not large, so it did not cause much damage.
What kind of venom is this? Deng Anxin was frightened for a while, and quickly flew to the tail of the multi-caramelized mud crocodile to avoid direct confrontation with it and become the target of the jet-black water arrow.
"Try to get around it and match my attacks. Meng Ping saw that Deng An seemed to have suffered a secret loss, and gave a loud order, so he took advantage of the gap between the attacks of the multi-armor mud crocodile and slashed at its neck with a spirit sword, where there was less strong armor, which was a rare weakness on the body of the multi-armor mud crocodile.
As soon as the body of the multi-armor mud crocodile moved, he used the solid armor on his back to take the attack, and the spirit sword that was enough to break the golden cracking stone only left a shallow mark on the solid armor, and it could no longer go deeper.
Meng Ping was shocked and hurriedly jumped to the side.
"Roar!" Meng Ping's attack didn't do much damage, but it completely angered the multi-carapace crocodile, and it roared angrily, opening its big mouth and biting at Meng Ping.
Meng Ping suddenly smelled a fishy smell coming to his face, hurriedly recited a few spells, and his body quickly moved away, Deng An saw the opportunity, turned into a cloud of yin qi again, and swept away from the back.
Because the multicarat mud crocodile lives at the bottom of the mudflats all the year round and has a certain immunity to yin qi, it is difficult for Deng An to affect its mind, and whenever Deng An approaches, it also uses black water arrows to force Deng An to be busy dodging. Although Meng Ping was able to attack the multi-caramel, his attack power was limited, and it was difficult to suffer fatal damage, so the battle was deadlocked.
"Senior Brother Li, isn't that Meng Ping's kid?"
"Hey, it's a multi-caramel! This kid is really lucky, and he can run into something good every time. Go, this time can't be cheap again. ”
I don't know when, Li Daxiao and the three of them came to the vicinity, and according to the loud noise generated during the battle, it was easy to find the location of Deng An and Meng Ping.
When Li Daxiao saw the multi-caramelized crocodile, he immediately became a little crazy with jealousy, why is Meng Ping's luck always so good, every time he comes to Baiyue Lake, he can get something, and the three of them have been busy for a long time, and they only found items worth more than ten spirit stones, if it is converted to a human head, it is only four spirit stones, this harvest is really pitiful.
Li Daxiao exchanged glances at the two, and they all understood what the other party meant, and they all took out their spiritual weapons and rushed into the battle situation in front of them.
"Senior Brother Meng, Duojia Mud Crocodile is a first-level peak demon beast, you have only practiced the third layer of qi, you can't deal with it at all, if you continue to fight, you will definitely suffer, me and the two senior brothers will help you. ”
Li Daxiao didn't wait for Meng Ping's consent, and stabbed at a soft underbelly of the multi-nail mud crocodile, and the other two, long before he made a move, had already used the sword in his hand.
Meng Ping saw that the three of them were menacing, and it was clear that he wanted to snatch the results of the battle, but in the previous battle, he had already consumed a lot of spiritual power, and he was powerless to stop it.
Deng An didn't produce much consumption, he has always been able to observe the surroundings, when the three of them rushed out of the fog, they guessed their purpose, for this kind of villain, he despised it in his heart, and in his attitude towards the three people, he was consistent with Meng Ping.
"It's clear that you're here to grab the cheap, and the righteousness you have to say is awe-inspiring, I'm really ashamed of you, there is only Meng Ping here, there's no need to hide it, you just robbed it, Meng Ping didn't dare to say anything, who called them his senior brothers." As the main soul of Meng Ping's soul flag, Deng An didn't need to think too much, and unceremoniously ridiculed the three of them.
The three of them knew that they were at a loss, and they were all speechless.
After an embarrassing silence, Li Daxiao, who was relatively flexible, quibbled: "Whoever can hunt the demon beasts of Baiyue Lake belongs to whomever it is, this multi-carat mud crocodile is not dead yet, of course it does not belong to Senior Brother Meng." What's more, Senior Brother Meng's strength is limited, if we are injured by a demon beast, won't we end up with a reputation of not being able to save ourselves? We are here to help, not to snatch prey. ”
Deng Anxin wondered, Li Daxiao obviously had a killing intent towards Meng Ping, why did he have to cover it up like this, and soon he understood that the disciples of the Ghost Sect who came to Baiyue Lake were not only these people, not long ago, they also saw a team cross the mudflats and go to the deeper part of Baiyue Lake, which was obviously not a good place to do it.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Li, for your righteousness!"
With Li Daxiao and the three of them restraining the multi-jia mud crocodile, Meng Ping's pressure dropped sharply, he would definitely not believe Li Daxiao's words, but he still had to do enough to save face, not to mention that the other party was three people, even if he considered Deng An, his strength was still weak.
Deng An didn't want to give up, and said with a smile: "This multi-armored mud crocodile has been fighting with us for more than half an hour, and its physical strength is seriously consumed, Meng Ping is completely capable of killing it, you might as well sweep the formation next to it first, in case it goes crazy, it will hurt you by mistake." ”
"No! No!"
When Li Daxiao spoke, his subordinates did not relax at all, and even swept the soft abdomen of the multi-armor mud crocodile with a sword, causing it to roar again and again. At the same time, Wu and Chen also accelerated their attacks, obviously wanting to kill the multi-nail mud crocodile in the shortest possible time.
Due to the frequent cooperation of the three of them, they were quite skilled in the joint attack technique, and with the cooperation of Meng Ping and Deng An, they forced the multi-carat mud crocodile onto the path between the mudflats, preventing it from sneaking into the mudflats and escaping. In the end, the multi-carapace mud crocodile was killed by four people and a ghost killer.
"Thank you three for your help, there's no danger here, you can leave. Deng An ignored the faces of Li Daxiao and the others, and spoke first.
"It's not your turn to speak here!, just now, in order to kill that multi-carapace crocodile, the three of us also made a lot of efforts, and we should share it equally. Senior Brother Meng, what do you think?"
Meng Ping was annoyed by the actions of the three of them, and he was unwilling to give in in his heart, but they did make a move, and it was difficult to object, so they had to nod and agree, and divide it equally according to the rules of partnering to kill demon beasts.
Deng An saw that he gave in, and he helplessly stopped stopping it.
