Some monsters have very keen senses, and this reticulated crocodile belongs to this category. It noticed an aura on Chu Chen that made it throb. It was very cold and terrifying, but it seemed to be there or not, and it was hidden very deeply.
For this reticulated crocodile, this was a virtual challenge to its authority. In its eyes, Chu Chen was a major threat.
"You can actually encounter a reticulated crocodile in this place. I have seen this beast in books and jade slips. It is said that this beast has extremely keen senses and amazing defense. It ranks high in defense among the upper-level fourth-level monsters. Reticulated Crocodile
Crocodile skin armor is the most precious material for making high-grade spiritual weapons."
When Chu Chen saw the sudden appearance of the reticulated crocodile, he was only a little surprised. His expression did not change. While looking at the giant creature in front of him, he looked calm and still had time to comment.
Liu Xiao didn't feel any panic at all, and asked Chu Chen, "Is this thing difficult to deal with?"
"Only the defense is commendable, and the rest is not surprising. The attack is at the bottom among the fourth-level upper-level monsters, so it should be easy to deal with." Chu Chen continued calmly.
The strength of both of them has changed from what it used to be, and this one is no longer a concern.
"Okay." Liu Xiao tapped the jade head lightly, then stretched out his fingers, as if he was preparing to cast a spell.
When the Reticulated Crocodile saw the two human monks in front of him looking calm and unhurried, as if they didn't take him seriously, he suddenly became angry in his heart, opened his huge and sharp mouth, and a heavy roar came towards the two people, the sound was shocking.
Quartet.
Chu Chen's expression did not move. A khaki flying sword flew out of the storage bag. The flying sword hit the back of the reticulated crocodile. The flying sword touched the spikes on the back of the reticulated crocodile and made a crisp "ding, ding" sound.
The sound has no effect at all.
"Sure enough, it is a monster beast with the highest defensive power, and it truly lives up to its reputation." Chu Chen clicked his tongue and praised.
"I want to see how high this beast's defense is!" Liu Xiao tilted his mouth, and two flame birds condensed in front of him.
No matter how high the defense is, it is only a level 4 monster. Liu Xiao's Flame Spirit Strike has some effect on level 5 monsters. With the one in front of him, it is impossible not to be injured.
The two flame spirits screamed and flew towards the huge creature in front of them. The reticulated crocodile seemed to know the power of the flame bird, and then cast a spell. Its huge body was covered with a thick layer of white light, and it tried its best to defend the two.
Attack of a flaming bird.
"Boom!" There was a heavy sound, and the ground shook. After the advancement, Liu Xiao's Fire Spirit Attack was much more powerful than before. It was so powerful that Chu Chen couldn't help but click his tongue.
With this power, it is absolutely no problem to instantly kill an ordinary fourth-level mid-level monster. A fourth-level upper-level monster with a slightly weaker defense will only die if it is attacked like this.
The firelight spread out, a heat wave swept all around, and the cold pool next to him hissed with white steam, and a lot of the water in the pool evaporated in an instant.
Chu Chen waved his sleeve with his right hand to disperse the surrounding air waves.
Several screams were heard, and the reticulated crocodile was seen in the firelight with two deep blood holes blown out on its back, which looked slightly ferocious. White smoke was rising from the wounds, and the smell of burning blood and flesh filled the air.
"Huh, life is pretty tough!" Liu Xiao curled his lips slightly, a little surprised. The blow just now had been with all his strength. After the advanced stage, Liu Xiao was very confident in his own Flame Spirit Technique.
It was extremely powerful, but one blow failed to kill him. This was within Chu Chen's expectation. The Reticulated Crocodile relied on its super high defense to block the Flame Spirit attack head-on, but half of his life was lost.
The injury was so serious that the huge crocodile in front of him had no choice but to be slaughtered by Chu Chen and Liu Xiao.
"Get it done quickly. Don't waste time on this thing. You'll lose all interest in admiring the scenery." Liu Xiao said calmly, stretched out his fingers again and continued to use the Flame Spirit Strike.
Chu Chen nodded, activated the sword array to trap the lingering Reticulated Crocodile, stretched out his fingers, and immediately began to perform the Flame Spirit Burning Heaven Technique.
In the blink of an eye, three flaming birds screamed and struck at the reticulated crocodile.
The sound of the earth shaking sounded again. This time, it was useless no matter how high the defense of the behemoth in front of me was. After the fire filled the sky, I saw that most of the body of the Reticulated Crocodile had been blown up and turned into a wisp of white smoke, dissipating in the air.
middle.
It's a bit ridiculous to say that this reticulated crocodile never launched an attack on Chu Chen and Liu Xiao from the beginning to the end. It should be said that it didn't have time to launch an attack, and was immediately killed by the two of them with thunderous means.
There is no strength to fight back, which is really miserable.
A trace of thick white air flew from the firelight that had not faded away, and the red lines between Liu Xiao's eyebrows lit up, absorbing all the white air.
"Let's go." Liu Xiao said softly.
"Yes." Chu Chen nodded, and the two of them walked towards the front. Whether it was the beast master or the monster, it was just a small episode for the two of them.
"Originally I wanted to repair the one named Qin Shou, but unfortunately he ran away." Chu Chen said a little depressed.
"I hate that guy very much. Next time I see him, I will make him look good!" Liu Xiao curled her lips and said.
"Hey, I'd better keep a low profile in the future to save myself from trouble. This time someone else came to my door. Of course I can't back down. I won't offend others unless they offend me." Liu Xiao continued.
"Oh." Chu Chen nodded in response.
Liu Xiaosu rubbed her forehead with her hand and said, "Remember, don't take the initiative to cause trouble for others in the future."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, what else?" Chu Chen said with a smile.
When Chu Chen asked, Liu Xiao was stunned at first, and then seemed to be thinking about something. She blushed and said, "And... and... you are not allowed to have sex with other female cultivators."
There is contact!"
"Uh? Okay."
Hearing this, Chu Chen was stunned and immediately nodded.
"You are not allowed to talk to other female monks either!" Liu Xiao whispered with a shy face.
"Yes!" Chu Chen continued to smile and nodded. Liu Xiao said this, and he must have cared about him very much in his heart. Even if he was a fool, he knew what Liu Xiao was thinking at this moment.
Chu Chen couldn't help but feel a warm feeling spreading in his heart. He grabbed Liu Xiao's little hand with his right hand, made a fist with his left hand and beat his chest. He smiled lightly and said: "There is only room for you here. Now,
It will be the same in the future and in this life.”
The blush on Liu Xiao's face became even thicker, and she curled her mouth slightly: "Well, I didn't expect that you can talk sweet words with such a stupid head."
"No way? This is not..."
Just when Chu Chen wanted to explain to the two of them, Liu Xiaosu covered his mouth with his hand.
"Okay, okay, no need to say anything, I understand..." Liu Xiao smiled slightly and looked at Chu Chen, with a hint of softness in her eyes.
"Let's go." After a long time, Liu Xiao said faintly.
"Yeah." The two held hands and continued walking forward.
Next to me, there is a cold pool, with fast and clear water, and the source and end cannot be seen clearly. Coupled with the mist, flowers and plants under the feet, shrubs and rocks, loose and wet soil, and a light breeze, the scenery is quite pleasant.
Gradually, the two of them became interested in admiring the scenery again.
"Huh? There seems to be something there." Chu Chen pointed to a place beside the cold pool and said.
Liu Xiao looked in the direction that Chu Chen pointed, and through the mist, she saw something in the crevice of a stone somewhere beside the cold pool that was emitting a misty brilliance, like a star point.
The two looked a little surprised, and then they approached the edge of the cold pool, and then they realized that the glowing thing was actually a small grass-like thing, which was emitting a faint white light.
The spiritual energy is released, and you can feel the spiritual energy emanating from the grass even a few feet away.
"This should be some kind of spiritual grass. Hey, aren't you considered an alchemist after all? Do you know this spiritual grass?" Liu Xiaoxing opened her lips lightly and asked Chu Chen.
Chu Chen had also bought some elixir illustrations and some books and slips on alchemy materials such as spiritual herbs from the Xinggong Chamber of Commerce on Fengnan Island before, and his awareness in this regard was not low.
Chu Chen walked in and looked at it carefully for a while. After confirming that he had never seen this kind of spiritual grass, he shook his head at Liu Xiao.
"I don't know, but this spiritual grass is very full of spiritual power and must be of a high grade. It must be a few years old. I don't know how many years it has been growing. But what is certain is that it will definitely not grow on Fennan Island.
This kind of spiritual grass." Chu Chen said slowly.
"Didn't those people ask us to hand over some spiritual herbs before? Did they mean this kind of thing?" Liu Xiao said with a surprised look on his face.
Chu Chen pondered for a while and said: "That's right. The environment here is damp and cold, and the spiritual energy is so full. It is simply the most suitable place for the growth of spiritual grass. It is not surprising that high-grade spiritual grass grows here."
"Oh, that means the purpose of those monks is these spiritual herbs." Liu Xiao continued lightly, as if he thought of something, he couldn't help but look around.
"I once heard Master say that in addition to growing in certain specific environments, wild high-grade spiritual grass grows in canyons, mountain tops and under the sea for many years, and the probability of high-grade spiritual grass is the highest." Liu Xiao continued.
"Canyon..." Chu Chen came out with a thoughtful expression.
"According to this, there must be a lot of high-level spiritual grass in this canyon! Why don't we pick some before we go." Chu Chen said with a smile on his face. For alchemists, spiritual grass is extremely attractive.
Liu Xiao thought about it for a while, but didn't refuse. He looked around and couldn't help but feel a headache. He sighed: "This place is so big, how difficult it is to find spiritual herbs!"
Chu Chen also looked around, "It should be easier for spiritual grass to grow in the cold pool than in other places. Let's just go to the cold pool.
"But the book says that places where spiritual grass grows are prone to monsters..."
Before Chu Chen finished speaking, Liu Xiao immediately interrupted him and said anxiously: "You fool, you are right, a monster is coming."
The next moment, a huge python with purple stripes all over its body was seen rushing towards Chu Chen and Liu Xiao from the edge of the cold pool.
"It's another level four high-level monster!" Liu Xiao's expression changed and he spoke in surprise.
Chu Chen felt a chill in his heart. He had never seen this giant purple-striped python before, and he didn't know what its combat power was.
"Here we come!" Liu Xiao's pretty face was solemn, and she cast spells with both hands.
It was useless to think about this at the moment, Chu Chen hurriedly used the flying sword, activated the Nine Nether Sword Formation, and prepared to fight the enemy with all his strength.
The flying swords instantly surrounded the incoming python. The giant python was trapped in the Nine Nether Chaos Sword Formation. Chu Chen and Liu Xiao began to fend off the enemy with all their strength.
After a while...
The body of the huge purple-striped python, with its flesh and blood separated and completely charred, lay in front of Chu Chen and Liu Xiao. It was too dead to be dead anymore.
The two breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this fourth-level high-level python had no magical powers, so it was not difficult to deal with. It only took them a moment to kill the beast.
Chu Chen was really right, there was indeed a monster next to the spiritual grass.
"If I encounter one or two more monsters of this level, I'm afraid I will have to meditate for a long time before I can continue walking." Liu Xiaomulan said.
After absorbing the souls of two upper-level fourth-level demonic beasts in succession, the effect was quite great. The aura all over Liu Xiao's body became slightly disordered. If he swallowed one or two more, he would need to find a place to meditate and refine the souls of the demonic beasts.
