Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Phantom (Part 2)
During the time they stayed in the flat mountain pass, the three Scar brothers were always looking for an opportunity to fight back, but it took a few breaths of work to prepare for the life-saving things, and Yang Qing always reminded them to keep up and failed to seize any opportunity.
In the past, the three Scar brothers would not have been held hostage like this, but now, the consequences of rebellion are very likely to die here, which makes them hesitate and entangle, and besides, before the last moment, there is still the possibility of surviving, and even earning a certain amount of spirit stones, which makes it even more difficult for them to make up their minds.
They were thinking that the Wind Beast was their chance to live, and secretly thought that if Yang Qing's strength was very strong, after killing the Wind Beast, they might not care about the insignificant thirty spirit stones, and they showed weakness and did not charge furs and other things, then the matter was over, if such an assumption was true, whether it was at this time or afterwards, they would not be able to resist.
Another thought, which is also what they are looking forward to the most, is that Yang Qing's strength can't crush them, and if they find the Wind Beast, they may be able to take advantage of the chaos to escape and even kill Yang Qing, maybe they can also kill the Wind Beast together, even if they can't find the Wind Beast, they don't have to be afraid of Yang Qing, who is not so strong.
The three Scar brothers, with these two thoughts lingering in their hearts, determined that it was not the time to fight back, but only to make compromises and then go with the situation, so when they were guarding against Yang Qing, they tried to recall whether there were mountains in the lake or rivers surrounding the mountains nearby, and recalled whether they had heard of such a place.
They had been here a few times, and they knew that there were rivers and lakes nearby, but they had never seen a river that could surround a mountain or a lake that could hold a mountain. And they haven't been explored in detail, and there are also monsters in the lake and river. When the human monks entered it, they could not show their strength. Therefore, except for the human monks with a few water spirit roots, most of them gave up hunting and killing the demon beasts in the water.
"Senior, there is no place like you said in this vicinity, there may be, Xiao Xiu is lonely and unheard"
The knife tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a reluctant smile, which did not match the ferocity of his hideous scar at all, if he could solve the problem with a smile. He will not be stingy, and at this time, there is no longer a scolding attitude.
Yang Qing frowned, his guesses were all based on the fact that the mountain col here was the territory of the Wind Beast, and the guess that this was the territory of the Wind Beast was based on the fact that the terrain here was not suitable for most demon beasts to live in, so the Wind Beast would place its territory here, and this territory was the place where the Wind Beast hunted and killed human cultivators, and the place where the cultivation was located. The place chosen by the Wind Beast should be able to better protect it, so that there will be speculation that there are mountains in the lake, or that the river is surrounded by mountains, at this time. What Dao Da said could not deny this speculation, and it still made him feel disappointed.
It is not uncommon for the lake to have mountains and rivers surrounded by mountains. There are no near the cols here, especially in the vicinity of the waterboarding. There will be a lot of it. How to find it, this is where Yang Qing is disappointed and worried.
Strange beasts are rare and difficult to find, and strange places are also difficult to kill them, Yang Qing doesn't know when he can find other strange beasts if he misses the Wind Beast, when he will be able to find other strange beasts, it's not that there is no hope at all, he won't give up so easily, before he set off to check the nearby rivers and lakes in the col here, Dao Da who can't see a kind smile and then said, "Senior, Xiao Xiu has heard that there is a swamp where there is a hill, I don't know ......"
When Yang Qing heard Dao Da say this, the first thing he remembered was the Ecstasy Swamp in the Zhenlong Mountain Range, and he felt that the hill in the swamp that Dao Da said was very likely to be the cultivation of the Wind Beast, so he hurriedly asked, "Where is that swamp, tell me more about it."
He held the three Scar brothers hostage, such a relationship could not avoid that swamp as a fiction, not a swamp but the territory of powerful demon beasts, but the matter has come to this, and Yang Qing can't care so much.
"Senior, Xiao Xiu doesn't know the specific location of that place, it should be more than a hundred miles away in this direction, I heard that this swamp is more than 100 zhang deep, flooding a hill nearly half, and the most powerful demon beast there is a caracal beast that lives in the swamp."
The knife pointed in a direction that was deflected to the depths of purgatory, and said such a thing.
Yang Qing couldn't be sure if there was a swamp here, he was anxious but he wouldn't rush forward with a word, and he didn't know what the caracal beast was, some of the demon beasts in purgatory didn't match the name he said he knew, this was caused by regional differences, and due to the inconvenience of communication between regions, different dialects and languages appeared.
Observe the change in the expressions of the three sword greats, and ask what the caracal beast is.
In this situation, where is there the idea of selling news, Dao Da said the news of the caracal beast in two words, the caracal beast, similar to a crocodile, the earth attribute demon beast, the body size is different, depending on the cultivation, the smallest one or two feet, the larger one is several zhang, due to the difficulty of opening the spiritual intelligence, the movement is slow, the strength is mostly not strong, when encountering a single one, the monk of the Zifu realm will be able to open the intestines from the abdomen.
Yang Qing thought for a while and felt that what Dao Da said was half-true and half-false, the strength of the demon beast could not be generalized, if there was a caracal beast with a body length of dozens of zhang in that swamp, it would be difficult for the Reality Transformation Realm cultivator to hurt the other party.
After glancing at the blade, he abandoned the idea of looking for the swamp here, not that he didn't dare to take risks, but because he thought that the chances of the Windbeast's cave being there were very small, the swamp was difficult to stop the Windstorm's pace, and the caracal crawled slowly, and the bites that erupted in an instant could threaten the Windstorm, how could the Windstorm build a cave there.
Yang Qing secretly suspected that Dao Da wanted him to be buried in the swamp here, if he said that the swamp was not dangerous and there were no demon beasts, he would not believe it at all, and Dao Da said that the caracal beast was not strong, in order to make him believe it.
At this time, the three Scar brothers were bent on saving their lives, and even enough gains, but they still didn't realize why Yang Qing wanted to find such a location, and said that the Wind Beast was very capable of being here.
Depending on what you are pursuing, you will have to focus on different directions.
This made Yang Qing's anxious heart quite annoyed, and secretly said, if you didn't want to kill me first, how could you make a threat, instead of asking you to waste time, it is not enough to look for yourself in this radius of dozens of miles, if you are still useful, now is the time for you to die.
Without waiting for Yang Qing to make a move, Dao San said tentatively, "Senior, there is a lake in the mountains that can meet your requirements."
He said this. Dao Da and Dao San remembered a place at the same time.
After asking questions carefully, the four of them walked towards the land of 'a lake in the mountains' at the same time. Go fast.
This place is not far from this mountain pass. Dozens of miles away, when Yang Qing approached here, he would take a look at the 'lake in the mountains'.
This mountain peak is not high, only 60 or 70 zhang, but the scope of the area is very broad, the top of one side of the mountain is very low, the waterfall-like water flows down the mountain, under the perennial erosion of the river, this side of the mountain is very smooth. Ordinary people cannot descend to the top of the mountain along the smooth rock wall and under the impact of the current.
The top of the hill on the other side is higher, more than ten zhang higher than the other side.
When Yang Qing came to the sky above this mountain peak under the ride of the knife, he saw a silver-white lake set on the top of the mountain like a jewel, and the range of the lake was within a radius of three miles, which was more like a volcanic crater and a lake in the crater.
The difference is that the peak is gushing water instead of lava. The protruding rock wall above the lake is not like the bottom of a bowl. It's just the other way around, for example, the whole mountain peak is only an empty shell, and the rest is a lake.
There is an eye in the middle of the mountain, which overflows and overflows from the lower part of the mountaintop. As the mountain descends, it converges into a river that winds in all directions. I don't know how many years later, maybe it will still be able to emerge from the water again. Then it overflowed again......
The surface of the lake is calm, under a silvery white sky. Sparkling and beautiful, Dao Da took Yang Qing all the way very uneasily, and flew to the surface of the lake, only to ease slightly, and also need to be wary of the demon beasts in the lake, when to shoot a water arrow is unpredictable.
A few strange birds with webbed wings in the air pierced into the water like sharp arrows, and in this way, going back and forth in the lake and in the air, seeing strange visitors, is very unkind.
Yang Qing was in no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery, and no matter what kind of mood the sword was, his divine sense carefully explored, the water of this lake was clear, compared to the big rivers and rivers, the demon beasts here were relatively low-level, mostly ordinary fish, and the stronger demon beasts in the water could leave the water for a short time, and then try their best to rush to the waterboarding, even if it was the edge of the waterboarding, it was more suitable for cultivation than here.
The demon beasts cultivating in this small lake can't get much cultivation resources, except for the extremely high talent, it is difficult to make much progress, the lake water is clear, it looks charming, but there is one less layer of protection for the demon beasts in the water, the cultivation place is narrow, it is difficult to generate spiritual objects, and it hinders the number of demon beasts.
Here, there are few demon beasts and low-level, and human monks rarely patronize them, without curiosities, spiritual objects, and high-level demon beasts, how can they obtain spirit stones, how can they waste their time here.
"If the Windbeast is here, then it will definitely dig a cave in the rock wall, and it will only be searched one by one above the water, or above the water."
Yang Qing said in a low voice, this place had the same nature as he thought, which made him feel a little nervous and excited.
The Wind Beast does not have a spiritual root, let alone a fire spiritual root, and has a strong physique with fire, and is not afraid of water, and in a short period of time, it will come and go freely in the water at its speed.
Looking up, there are several large and small caves on the rock wall that closes inward, the larger one can accommodate a carriage to enter, and the smallest one is only the size of a skull.
Regardless of whether these caves were formed naturally or dug the day after tomorrow, Yang Qing had to go and investigate with his divine sense, although he knew that it was unlikely that the Wind Beast would live in such a blatant cave, and he could not directly filter it out.
The speed was very fast, and soon they reached the vicinity of a higher rock wall, and when they looked up, they would have the illusion that the mountain wall was about to fall, and it would be difficult for the four-legged demon beast to climb down and climb up.
The distance was close, Yang Qing's divine sense could penetrate it, and before he could see what was in a few caves, several strange birds hovering and following suddenly hissed and attacked one after another.
As soon as the strange bird called, the cave exploded, and dense small black shadows crowded out of one of the larger caves, and several other caves screamed at the same time, this is the nest of a group of birds and monsters.
"Not good!"
Yang Qing's face turned pale, these demon beasts were enough for them to drink a pot, and he couldn't use his hands and feet at all when he stepped on the sword-sized magic weapon.
Just when the mutation came, a white phantom popped out of the underwater rock wall in the distance of Yang Qing and the four of them, in an obscure cave. (To be continued......)
