The familiar fish was very bloated and fat. The water-eating beast was looking up to the sky and roaring. Blue light appeared in the fish's mouth. In the blink of an eye, a drop of water the size of a rubber ball was held in the mouth of the ferocious beast.
At the same time, streaks of fierce majesty emerged around the water-devouring beast, causing ripples on the surface of the lake.
Seeing this, Su Xing, who was hiding in the bushes, narrowed his eyes.
It seemed that the water-swallowing beast was not going to get involved with the woman. This move, which even Su Xing had never seen before and carried huge energy, was probably the water-swallowing beast's final killing move.
And the woman, who had long been exhausted under the continuous attacks of the water-devouring beast, was stunned on the spot and at a loss when she saw the huge water ball containing terrifying energy.
"Ouch——"
With another roar, the water-devouring beast lowered its huge fish head. The energy water ball was already aimed at the woman, and seemed to be ready to launch in the next moment.
The strong wind howled, and the pale-faced Guan Yan'er froze on the spot with her legs numb, and the eyelids on her beautiful eyes slowly lowered.
Unexpectedly, she, who had just obtained a spot to participate in the Demon Slaying Festival, would fall into the hands of a vicious beast.
Feeling the loss of vitality in the empty Dantian, Guan Yan'er slowly placed her hand in the cloth bag at her waist.
Her white jade hands quickly groped in the bag, and a round object was immediately held in her palm.
It was a pill that glowed golden yellow all over. The round and crystal-clear pill was engraved with two mysterious lines.
"well……"
The girl sighed deeply. Although the Life-Changing Pill can save her life, her cultivation will also fade away. Not to mention whether she can participate in the demon-slaying event in a month, or whether she can save the disciples of the Wanjian Sect.
Status is also unknown.
If we cannot practice cultivation in this life, what is the difference between it and death?
The scenes flashing through my mind, as well as the secrets hidden deep in my heart, if I lose my cultivation, I won't be able to accomplish anything.
A hint of determination finally flashed through Guan Yan'er's bright eyes. In just a short moment, her eyes had changed into a color called sadness. After a long sigh, she thought that maybe it would be okay to be an ordinary person in the future.
Good choice.
And just when the water ball was gradually approaching, and the girl was ready to take out the elixir from the bag and take it, a harsh sound suddenly sounded in the dark forest, which was incompatible with the environment.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely dazzling light suddenly appeared between the blue water polo and Guan Yan'er.
The dazzling red and black light forced the girl to withdraw her hand from the bag and cover her eyes.
Through the gaps between her fingers, Guan Yan'er saw a figure suddenly appear in front of her.
Wearing a yellow Taoist robe, with black hair flying behind his head, and holding a rusty long sword that was burning with red and black flames, he slashed hard at the huge water ball that was coming.
For a moment, Guan Yan'er felt that a flickering red and black star suddenly appeared in the sky. The surface of the star was so close to the earth's surface that it seemed that she could touch it just by raising her hand.
Red and black light shone in the dark forest, and the water ball containing powerful energy evaporated and disappeared the moment it came into contact with the long sword blade.
Then, the red-black long sword slashed at the angry water-swallowing beast six times in a row. There was a roar in the forest, but after the roar, everything turned silent.
In Guan Yan'er's eyes, the fat body of the water-swallowing beast that forced her to a dead end turned out to be like the water ball it spat out in front of her. It first split into six pieces and finally dissipated into the human world.
A blue crystal beast core immediately fell to the ground, emitting a faint fluorescence on the lawn.
"Stab-"
The sword is sheathed.
Under the gaze of the girl's shining beautiful eyes, the figure in yellow robe slowly turned around, and his delicate features were immediately reflected in Guan Yan'er's eyes.
She looked at the young man of her own age who suddenly appeared to save her, the girl who had just saved her life from death, and two blushes suddenly appeared on her face.
At the same time, Su Xing, who turned around, also looked at the girl.
The woman wearing a purple robe has shoulder-length hair, a delicate face with delicate features, picturesque eyebrows, and a faint mole next to her right eye. The large robe cannot hide her curvy figure, and she just stands there
Beside her, a scent of fragrance flowed into Su Xing's nose very clearly, making him intoxicated.
What surprised Su Xing even more was that this girl was one of the disciples who joined the mountain gate at the same time as him.
"I...Xuanguang Taoist Academy Guan Yan'er, thank you senior brother for helping me."
The two looked at each other for a short while, and Guan Yan'er was the first to react. She quickly recovered from her gaffe and held her hand in front of Su Xing.
Guan Yaner?
Su Xing was shocked again when he heard the name. He didn't expect that the lists of various Taoist schools had just been announced, and he would meet the disciples representing Shenji Taoist School and Xuanguang Taoist School one after another.
Although he and Guan Yan'er didn't know each other, they heard some stories about each other from Li Feiyao. It was said that she was the scion of a big family in the imperial capital of Dasen Dynasty.
He wandered around in the dynasty, and was finally noticed by the elders of the Wanjian Sect in Linzhou, who brought him back to the mountain gate.
In addition to her mysterious life experience, Guan Yan'er's talent in martial arts is also amazing, and she is currently ranked thirty-eight on the local rankings.
"Oh, I'm not a senior fellow. I'm going to Su Xing of Yuyang Taoist Temple. There are many dangers in Duanyang Forest, so it's better to be careful."
After hearing Su Xing's words, Guan Yan'er was slightly startled. She originally thought that Su Xing was a powerful senior fellow in Yuyang Taoist Academy, so she could easily kill the water-swallowing beast.
But he didn't expect that this person was Su Xing, who was of the same generation as him!
Although Guan Yan'er had never met Su Xing, Su Xing's story had already spread throughout the sect, and rumors about him had long been heard.
However, Guan Yan'er was not affected by those rumors. At this time, she looked at Su Xing with only gratitude and respect in her eyes, and explained with a somewhat depressed expression:
"I originally went into the mountain to complete the sect's mission. When I passed by this place on my way back, I was unexpectedly attacked by the water-swallowing beast hiding in the dark. Moreover, this water-swallowing beast had actually been promoted to the sixth level. I was careless for a moment.
So I was successfully attacked by it. Fortunately, you came to rescue me, otherwise I would have been swallowed by that vicious beast."
The girl's pitiful appearance once again caused waves in Su Xing's heart. The young man quickly looked away and said in a surprised tone: "A sixth-level water-swallowing beast?"
Su Xing was slightly shocked by Guan Yan'er's words, and he immediately realized why Fang Qian had to use a whole set of meteor sword skills to kill the beast with great effort. It turned out that it was a level six beast.
"It's just... According to common sense, the highest level of this kind of ferocious beast is level five. Why is there a level six water-swallowing beast?"
He picked up the animal core on the ground and looked at the blue crystal thing.
As someone who had seen the core of a water-eating beast, Su Xing quickly discovered something was wrong.
The inside of the water swallowing beast's core actually shone with a strange black light.
Only when you look closely can you find that this is actually a blue and black beast core, which is different from any beast core that Su Xing has ever seen in his life.
From this point of view, it is reasonable for Guan Yan'er to be threatened by such a weird beast.
He immediately turned around and said to Guan Yan'er, who had a reddish face: "The strange color of the water-swallowing beast's core probably represents the strangeness inside the Wanling Mountains. If you have completed your mission, you'd better return to the sect as soon as possible.
For the best."
The advice given by Su Xing in a calm tone without any fluctuations sounded like a very gentle comfort to Guan Yan'er, who had just faced the fear of death and had not yet recovered from the fear of death, so she was not only mistaken.
The girl felt her heart pounding under her chest, as if it would jump out of her body in the next second.
She immediately said with a shy face: "As you said, Duanyang Forest is very dangerous, so you should be more careful. I hope you accept this."
With that said, the girl took out two round objects wrapped in clean white cloth from the cloth bag at her waist and handed them to Su Xing.
"Two top-grade Yuan Ju Dan has a very significant effect on cultivators below the Immaculate Realm."
What she didn't say was that it took her more than a week to refine these two top-grade Fan Dan. They were originally intended to be sold to the Zongmen Baibao Hall in exchange for money. Each one was valuable.
Thousands of gold coins.
Su Xing, who received a gift from a girl for the first time, forgot to refuse for a moment, and stretched out his hand blankly to take the pill.
Then, the girl with a blush on her face said goodbye to Su Xing, ran away like a jumping deer in the jungle, and disappeared from Su Xing's sight.
"Obviously your legs and feet are so flexible, why didn't you run so fast when you faced the water-eating beast just now?"
Su Xing opened the white cloth in his hand, and two white pills suddenly appeared in front of him.
There is a faint and exquisite pattern on the elixir, which proves that it is a top-grade elixir.
"It turns out she is an alchemist."
Su Xing looked at the direction Guan Yan'er was leaving, stood there and murmured.
