At Chen Zhihua's suggestion, the three of them rushed to the exit of the Yunduan Mountains while looking for the hiding place of the armored crocodile.
This armored crocodile has been hanging in the Chen family's business hall for a long time, and the mission rewards are also very generous. However, the Chen family has few people, and there are even fewer monks who can deal with the armored crocodile.
It is said that if Chen Zhiyu and the others had not obtained the legacy of Wang Xingyun and Zhou Guanghe, the three of them would not have dared to take the risk of hunting this second-level high-grade armored crocodile.
Chen Zhiyu and the others, led by Chen Zhihua, walked in circles in the dense forest. From time to time, they would encounter some low-level monsters, and the three of them killed them smoothly and removed useful things from these monsters.
However, the space in the storage bag is really limited, so the three of them can only choose the most valuable parts.
As for the remaining monster beast corpses, they were all eaten by Chen Zhiyu's two pet beasts.
Looking at Chen Zhiyu's Thunder Cloud Eagle and the double-eyed civet cat, Chen Zhihua's eyes also showed a hint of envy.
After all, if you have a pet to help you hunt monsters, your chances of winning will be much greater.
It's just that although this monster beast is good, the two of them also know their own situation, and their cultivation is somewhat stretched. If they are raising a monster beast, I am afraid that their cultivation speed will be greatly slowed down.
Thinking this way, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses. After all, for monks, animal pets are just foreign objects.
It is good if you have the resources and energy to cultivate, but if you rely too much on these external forces and ignore the improvement of your own cultivation, you are putting the cart before the horse.
The three of them searched in the forest for more than ten days, and finally arrived at the hiding place of the armored crocodile mentioned by Chen Jinghua.
The armored crocodile's habitat was a swamp with many reeds growing around it. The three of them hid in a hidden place next to the swamp.
Chen Zhihua took out a piece of meat from a second-level low-grade Dihuang bear that he had killed before, smeared it with beast luring powder, and placed it on the path that the armored crocodile must pass, waiting for the monster beast to appear.
Time passed minute by minute, and three days passed in the blink of an eye, but there was no movement in this swamp.
However, after these few months of cooperation, the three of them have developed a certain tacit understanding. Chen Zhiyu also knows that this monster is not easy to hunt. Otherwise, casual cultivators can reach a higher level just by hunting monsters.
On the fourth day, there was sudden movement in the swamp, and a "roaring" sound came from the dark swamp.
Then a crocodile with a body of more than ten feet long, a body covered with iron nails, and an exquisitely evolved head with exposed eyes and ears loomed in the swamp.
It slowly climbed outwards, and soon its full appearance was revealed.
It has powerful jaws with many conical teeth, short legs with claws and webbed toes, a long and thick tail, thick skin with scales, and a tail like a steel whip.
What a monster.
It observed its surroundings for a while, then headed towards the piece of demon beast meat that had been smeared with beast luring powder. It swallowed it into its mouth in one gulp and continued to chew it.
For some reason, it felt that the piece of meat today was so delicious, even more delicious than the meat of the monster beasts it had hunted in the past.
This monster's IQ is not very high, and the armored crocodile is notoriously stupid among monsters. Even if you kill it, you won't even think that this piece of monster meat is a trap.
"Hands on"
Chen Zhihua shouted, and the three of them flew out.
The golden spiritual power in Chen Zhihua's hand surged, and countless golden needles flew out, shooting at the armored crocodile with the force of falling flowers all over the sky. At the same time, under Chen Zhihua's command, the golden sword in his hand formed a circle of sword light in the air to block the armored crocodile's attack.
retreat.
Chen Zhiyu has deep magic power. The two soul-chasing nails in his hand emitted a black light and went straight towards the armored crocodile's eyes. At the same time, the True Yang Sword in his hand "tickled" in the air, mixed with countless fireballs and slashed towards the armored crocodile.
As for Chen Zhiyao, he directly held two axes and slashed wildly at the armored crocodile.
The armored crocodile, who was surrounded by countless sword rays and fireballs, saw that there was no hope of escape and was also angered.
With a flick of its iron tail, Chen Zhiyu's two soul-chasing nails were blocked.
With a "swish" sound, the two soul-chasing nails that were knocked back were shot into a towering tree. With a "bang" sound, the giant tree collapsed and fell into pieces.
This shows that this armored crocodile is very powerful, and ordinary magical weapons are still unable to break through its defense.
After blocking Chen Zhiyu's soul-chasing nail, the armored crocodile opened his mouth again, and countless blue light beams formed by condensed spiritual power struck at Chen Zhiyu's sword light and Chen Zhihua's golden needle explosive killing technique.
It roared, and then pounced on Chen Zhiyao, one of the three.
Although Chen Zhiyao is very strong, he is still a human being and cannot be compared with monsters.
After just one attack, the armored crocodile had already felt that Chen Zhiyao's attack was the weakest, so it planned to kill him first and eat him to avenge itself. It still had this basic combat experience.
Then, a black shadow rushed towards Chen Zhiyao's face with lightning speed. Chen Zhihua and Chen Zhiyu heard a friction sound, and Chen Zhiyao was knocked down with a "bang", like a heavy object falling to the ground.
A large crater was made on the flat ground, followed by a torturous friction sound and a scream.
"Seventh brother, be careful"
"Third brother, be careful"
Chen Zhihua and Chen Zhiyu shouted at the same time, and they also made a "swish" sound and quickly ran towards Chen Zhiyao.
"Third brother, thirty-sixth brother, I'm fine!"
A voice came out.
It was Chen Zhiyao who should have been knocked down.
Just when the armored crocodile pounced on Chen Zhiyao, Chen Zhiyao quickly used the Mountain and River Seal to block the armored crocodile's attack for a while, so that the armored crocodile did not pounce on him and tear him to pieces.
However, Chen Zhiyao's condition at this time was not good. His clothes were torn to pieces, revealing his strong figure. There were also shocking wounds in many places on his body, especially the one on his right cheek that was extremely serious.
ferocious.
At this time, his face was flushed and his breath was extremely unstable. It was obvious that even though he had escaped the frontal attack of the armored crocodile, the residual power still caused serious injuries to him.
Before Chen Zhiyu and Chen Zhihua could ask again, the armored crocodile turned around, turned its head, paused briefly, then roared again, swung its tail and rushed towards Chen Zhiyao again.
Chen Zhiyu, who was closest to Chen Zhiyao, quickly took out the golden nanmu shield obtained from Wang Xingyun's storage bag and stood in front of Chen Zhiyao.
With this time, Chen Zhiyao also recovered a little, summoned the Mountain and River Seal and smashed it at the armored crocodile again.
This armored crocodile has rough skin, thick flesh, numerous scales, and a high level of defense, but it can't resist this mountain and river seal one after another!
After all, this second-level magic weapon was prepared by Wang Qinghuo personally for his great-grandson. Although the current level is not high, the material is not bad, and it can be used to hit people accurately.
Facing Shanhe Xi's attack, the armored crocodile also flicked its tail and blocked Shanhe Xi.
Then he pounced forward, but Chen Zhiyao was not so lucky this time. He and his magical weapon were knocked several feet away.
Upon seeing this, the armored crocodile was ready to continue to show off his violence, and pounced on Chen Zhiyu, who was holding a golden nanmu shield.
A flash of light flashed in Chen Zhiyu's hand, and two second-level talismans appeared in his hand. A fire dragon and several ice picks were stabbed at the armored crocodile.
It's just that the armored crocodile is a second-level high-grade monster after all. Through the battle just now, the three of them also discovered that the reason why the armored crocodile is so fierce is that it may have reached the limit of a second-order monster.
If it weren't for the bloodline restriction, I'd probably have been promoted to a third-level monster.
Therefore, it is difficult for these ordinary second-level talismans to seriously injure it, but it is still possible to block it for a while and inflict some damage on it.
In these few short breaths, Chen Zhiyu quickly performed a light body technique and increased the distance between him and the armored crocodile.
"You beast, you are too presumptuous!"
Chen Zhihua felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw that his brothers who came with him to hunt monsters were attacked one after another, especially the scar on the face of his seventh brother Chen Zhiyao.
But he was careless, thinking that he had unexpectedly eliminated two human monks who were in the late stage of Qi training, and he was a little bit proud. He thought that he would kill the armored crocodile by the way, so that he could earn a lot of family contribution points.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he unleashed his spiritual power in his hands and prepared to use his ultimate move.
"Third level spell, golden light transforming into rain"
As Chen Zhihua shouted, countless golden lights fell like drizzle, but they seemed to be aimed at the target, heading straight towards the armored crocodile.
This Golden Light Transforming Rain Technique is a third-level spell of the Chen family. Because Chen Zhihua is very talented, the elder in charge of the Sutra Pavilion turned a blind eye and gave it to him.
These third-level spells are generally used by foundation-building monks in martial arts battles, and consume a lot of spiritual power. However, there are also some late-stage Qi-training monks with deep magic power and outstanding talents who can practice them.
Obviously, Chen Zhihua can be regarded as a talented youngster in the Chen family.
Chen Zhihua has been practicing the Golden Light Rain Transformation Technique for decades, and has only barely reached the entry level, and is still far away from the level of success.
This technique has always been his ultimate special skill, and he will not use it easily. Apparently, this armored crocodile also made him really angry.
Along with the golden light transforming rain technique that attacks the armored crocodile, there is also a second-level high-grade golden light talisman hidden inside.
Obviously Chen Zhihua also knows that this armored crocodile is extremely powerful and must be dealt with as soon as possible.
After all, the most terrifying thing in the Yunduan Mountains is not the monsters, but the wolves in human skins.
After Chen Zhihua used the Golden Light Rain Technique and the Golden Light Talisman, the armored crocodile had strong defense and let out bursts of screams.
After the blow, Chen Zhihua also looked pale, with many beads of sweat falling from his forehead. He sat down weakly and took a pill to restore his spiritual energy.
Chen Zhiyu, who had the most complete strength among the three, saw that his two brothers had no strength to fight anymore, and he also sensed the urgency of the situation.
He seized the opportunity when the armored crocodile suffered heavy damage, and the two soul-chasing nails appeared in his hands again.
"Brother Thirty-Six, this armored crocodile has a very strong physical body and a very strong defense. Its weak points are its neck and eyes!"
When he saw Chen Zhiyu preparing to take action again, Chen Zhihua forcibly cheered up, opened his eyes, and said to Chen Zhiyu.
Chen Zhiyu also knew that this good opportunity could not be missed.
But at the beginning, he used the soul-chasing nail to attack the armored crocodile's eyes. I guess this armored crocodile was still prepared no matter how stupid he was.
It would be better to shoot the armored crocodile in the eye with a soul-chasing nail to attract his attention, and then hit its neck with a soul-chasing nail.
Chen Zhihua's attack method just now was already very powerful, but although the golden light transforming rain technique was very powerful, Chen Zhihua's cultivation level was not high and he could not really exert the power of the third-level spell.
In addition, this golden light transforming rain technique has a huge flaw, that is, it is very powerful, but its individual strength is not strong. When encountering this armored crocodile, it is difficult to kill it with one blow, and it can only be severely damaged.
Chen Zhiyu calmed down, and in the critical moment between lightning and flint, he used all his strength to activate the two soul-chasing nails in his hands, and rushed towards the armored crocodile who was still screaming.
Although the armored crocodile is stupid, it is absolutely powerful among the first and second level monsters. Even ordinary ninth-level qi-training monks cannot kill it.
So despite its huge body, it is very sensitive to fatal dangers. This is probably the telepathy that human monks often talk about!
Two piercing sounds rushed towards the armored crocodile, but even though the armored crocodile was seriously injured, it still felt the danger coming. It nimbly dodged the fatal soul-chasing nail that hit its neck, saving its life.
But its eyes were not so lucky, and a more piercing beast roar came out, accompanied by the sound of scales rubbing against the earth.
Chen Zhiyu would never let go of this great opportunity to kill the armored crocodile while its disease was killing it. A flash of light flashed in his hand, and several talismans appeared in his hand.
He frantically poured mana into these talismans, but with so many talismans, it would take some time to activate them.
The armored crocodile also reacted. Out of instinct, it endured the severe pain in its eyes, opened its mouth and sprayed out countless water arrows, followed by several earth cones. Chen Zhiyu had no choice but to summon the golden nanmu shield.
withstand.
"Deng Deng Deng"
Chen Chenzhiyu still took dozens of steps back, but when he stepped back, the talismans in his hand had already been activated, and he threw these talismans towards the armored crocodile.
"Rumble"
After a loud noise, the armored crocodile crawled on the ground, with its remaining big eye open, its jaws contracting rapidly, and its breathing becoming extremely rapid. It was obvious that this crocodile was not going to die soon!
Chen Zhiyu seized the opportunity and slashed at the armored crocodile's neck. Countless looks of fear flashed through the crocodile's open eyes. It was obvious that humans were afraid of death, and monsters were even more afraid of death.
The lifespan of monsters is much longer than that of humans, and there are many types.
All mountain spirits and wild monsters on this earth other than humans, even if they are a piece of stubborn stone turned into a spirit, or even a legendary mythical beast, they are all considered to be monsters.
However, they have never been able to replace the dominance of human monks in the world of cultivation because the cultivation of monster beasts is too long. It is so long that human monks have been replaced for several rounds, and a monster beast with noble blood has not yet grown up.
Chen Zhiyu looked at the dying monster and felt a little relieved. The True Yang Sword in his hand surged and slashed towards the armored crocodile.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and the armored crocodile, which was originally breathing out more than it was taking in, suddenly exploded. Because Chen Zhiyu relaxed his guard, the arm holding the True Yang Sword came into close contact with the crocodile's claws.
The huge impact almost caused Chen Zhiyu to fall over.
In the end, Chen Zhiyu endured the severe pain and beheaded the armored crocodile.
But when he stopped, he felt a burning pain in his right arm. The feeling was as sour as any other!
Just when Chen Zhiyu was about to call his two clan brothers to divide the armored crocodile together, a voice came over.
"I see that the donor is seriously injured. This crocodile is destined to be with me. Why don't you give it to me as a Taoist priest?"
