Second-order iron-toothed crocodile
In the poisonous fog, Mo Tian Ge and Mu Rong Zi were both sitting quietly. The surroundings were quiet and still.
This is the rare tranquility in this mountain forest. Apart from this, battles are taking place elsewhere. This mountain forest is vast, but people will always meet each other, and if one side is from the Purple Mist Sect, it will trigger a fierce battle. Some kill others, while some get killed. At night, for safety and to vent their anger, disciples who encounter each other gather together to search for lone opponents to kill, and also to prevent being killed by others.
Murong Zi seized the time to heal his wounds and recover his spiritual energy, while Mo Tian Ge was secretly on guard. She didn't have the same hatred for the Zixia Sect as those from other immortal families did, she just wanted to quietly wait until the exit array opened and exchange it for a foundation-building pill.
Suddenly, a wisp of spiritual energy stirred in the air, and Mo Tian Ge opened his eyes. Just as he was about to look back at the poisonous spring, he suddenly felt a gust of strong wind, and hastily pushed Murong Zi away, rolling himself to the side.
Her caution earned them two lives. The next moment, both of them opened their eyes wide and stared at the thing in front of them in surprise.
This demon beast has a flat head, sharp teeth, and a hump on its back like a small mountain. Its lower body is still in the poisonous spring, but the part that has come out is enough for them to recognize what kind of demon beast it is.
Murong Zhi muttered: "Second-level demon beast Iron-toothed Alligator, it turns out that there really is a second-level demon beast here."
Mogentian pulled him back, waved her hand, and the formation flags came out. The place where they were sitting was actually the Five Elements Life-Killing Formation she had set up, and Tiechi E had entered the formation as soon as he attacked.
"Murong Shixiong, what is this?"
Murong Zi snapped back to reality, furrowing his brow and saying: "This is a second-tier demonic beast, equivalent to a Qi Refining stage cultivator at the beginning of the Foundation Building stage. We are no match for it."
Before they could say anything else, the iron-toothed crocodile lunged forward, its large mouth biting towards them.
The two hastily retreated, and Mo Tian Ge's array flag waved, the array disk and array flag hidden underground by her instantly rose up, and the Five Elements Life-Killing Array began to operate.
Things around the body "slammed" up, and the iron-toothed alligator seemed to be stunned for a moment, blinking its small eyes. However, its thinking ability was not enough to understand what happened in front of it. After a pause, it still rushed forward, wanting to swallow the two small mosquitoes in front of it with one bite.
But it failed, and at its feet, a tangled vine suddenly appeared, wrapping its entire body around it, making it unable to move an inch. It angrily swung its tail, and instantly these vines broke off one after another.
Moy Tian's forehead broke out in cold sweat: "This demon beast is too powerful, my formation won't be able to hold on for much longer."
"Th...". Mu Rong Zi's face also turned pale, "This amount of time is not enough for us to escape."
Mo Tian Ge waved his flag again, and suddenly water and quicksand appeared in the array. It quickly turned into a swamp, trapping the iron-toothed crocodile once more. At the same time, he gritted his teeth and said: "Muruong Shixiong, I'll hold it back, you go attack it. If we can't outrun it, then we'll just have to fight!"
Murong Zhi hesitated for a moment: "We..."
"It's too late if you don't hit it now!" Mo Tian Ge shouted, "Hurry up, I'll think of a way to hold it back from hitting you, you try your best to attack."
Infected by her attitude, Murong Zi gritted his teeth: "Fine, no matter what, I'll fight it out!"
Two Qi-refining cultivators would definitely be no match for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but a second-grade demon beast without intelligence and magical treasures could put up a good fight.
Murong Zi suddenly drew out his flying sword and activated his Light Body Technique, charging forward.
The next moment, his face turned ugly. His flying sword was a gift from the seniors of the sect, and even added a rare iron essence, extremely sharp, usually had an advantage in fighting, but against this iron-toothed alligator's thick skin, it didn't react at all.
The swamp couldn't hold back the iron-toothed alligator, and Mo Tian Ge swung her sleeve again. A raging fire appeared within the formation, and she took out a handful of Mí Huā seeds and flung them over. The fire stopped the alligator momentarily, but the Mí Huā only made it swing its tail. With her current spiritual energy, the seeds she could use were those that would grow in a short period of time, but such things were no longer effective against second-tier demonic beasts.
Helpless, she took out a handful of spiritual pills. Using the formation to trap the second-order demon beast, the spiritual energy consumption was too fast, so she had to use the gnawing method to drag it down.
On the other hand, Murong Zi was not just a name, as soon as he saw that his flying sword was useless, he immediately switched to another object, which was a golden whip. This whip swung out and transformed into a golden light, making a loud "slapping" sound. However, after one swing, Murong Zi's face changed again, this whip still couldn't break through the thick skin of the Iron-toothed Crocodile!
After several rounds, Murong Zi's face turned earthy yellow. Not only could he not break through Tie Chi's defense, but his spiritual instrument was also bitten and damaged. Indeed, it was called Iron Teeth, with very sharp teeth.
The song of the wild sky was not much better, although relying on the convenience of the formation method, this formation method could barely withstand the attack of a second-level demon beast. The loss of spiritual energy was too fast, she already felt that her spiritual energy was almost exhausted, and had to grab a handful of spiritual replenishment pills and stuff them into her mouth - at such a rate of loss, she no longer feared wasting pills, if she didn't survive, the more pills would be useless.
"Use symbols, use symbol attacks on it!" Mo Tian Ge shouted at Mu Rong Zhi who was in a daze. This iron-toothed alligator's skin was thick and rough, the hard skin on its body was comparable to armor, making it impossible to pierce through, only magic could penetrate that layer of skin to harm it.
At her shout, Mu Rong Zi snapped back to reality, pulled out a talisman and slapped it on without hesitation.
In these talismans, each system of magic had its own, fire sea, ice block, stone, quicksand, and vines, all smashing down on the iron-toothed crocodile's head. This time, the iron-toothed crocodile finally reacted, it raised its head, its small eyes staring at Mu Rongzhi flying in mid-air, its mouth opened, and a water pillar shot out.
Murong Zi was greatly shocked and barely dodged to the side, but accidentally got some on him. His body suddenly went limp and he fell down.
At this moment, Mo Tian Ge quickly took out the Mí Zōng array and the Kong Ling array disks and flags, and simply set them up. Then with a wave of the flag, the vines reappeared in the array, binding the Iron Tooth Crocodile tightly. The Iron Tooth Crocodile's attention returned to this side, but it found that its internal spiritual energy was slowing down, and in its great anger, it didn't care about the other small flying insect, and was about to tear the bug in front of it to shreds. But as it crawled forward, its vision changed, and it suddenly couldn't find the existence of that small bug, and became disoriented.
Seeing Mu Rong Zi still hadn't gotten up, Mo Tian Ge anxiously called out: "Mu Rong Shixiong!"
It seemed like he heard her voice, Murong Zi struggled to stuff a few Yao Dan into his mouth and crawled up with difficulty. He was already seriously injured, using the Ling instrument and light body technique had been very difficult, and he was hit by the iron-toothed crocodile's water pillar again. This is a poisonous spring, everything around is toxic, let alone the second-level demon beast that has advanced to the second level here? The poison of the iron-toothed crocodile is much stronger than the poisonous fog, which made his injury even more severe.
He didn't have time to think about anything else, so he swallowed a few healing pills and antidotes, struggled to fly up, raised his hand, and threw a handful of dense flying needles at the Iron-toothed Crocodile's eyes. The Iron-toothed Crocodile blinked its eyes, shook its head, and some of the flying needles were shaken off, while others stuck into the thick skin on its head, but it didn't react at all, and they fell down one after another. Murong Zi didn't give up, and continued to throw out handfuls of flying needles. In the Confusion Array, the Iron-toothed Crocodile's spiritual energy circulation slowed down, and finally couldn't avoid them. With a "puff" sound, its eyes were pierced, and it suddenly became furious, letting out a loud roar towards the sky.
Mo Tian Ge was overjoyed, and immediately stuffed another handful of Bu Ling Dan into his mouth. With a wave of the flag, a sea of flames poured down from the formation, causing the ground to shake violently. After being hit by several spells, the thick skin of Tie Chi finally showed signs of scorching. Mu Rong Zi did not let this opportunity slip away, and once again took out his flying sword, stabbing at the burned area with a single strike.
This time, it was a real stab, breaking through the iron-toothed crocodile's skin and deeply piercing its flesh. The iron-toothed crocodile felt pain, swung its tail, and knocked down a large tree by the spring with one swing. But it still couldn't find those annoying little bugs anywhere, and all it saw in its eyes was the scene of the poisonous spring where it had lived for hundreds of years. No matter how it crawled, it would always crawl back to its original place. Its eyes were bleeding, its body was aching from the magic blows, and there was still something stuck in its flesh. It let out a painful humming cry, but still couldn't find those two little bugs, only the magic kept coming down. Finally, it couldn't hold on anymore, another spell came crashing down, and it could no longer open its eyes.
Moyan Song let out a deep sigh, her legs went soft, and she knelt down. There was no longer any spiritual energy left in her body. A second-stage demon beast was indeed much stronger than a first-stage one. Those dozens of demon monkeys had been killed by her Five Elements Birth Death Formation without posing any danger to her. This second-stage demon beast, however, had taken so much effort and so many elixirs to merely trap it. If not for Murong Zhi's help, she would have definitely died today.
Murong Zi fell not far away, motionless. Just now he had almost thrown out all the talismans, and as soon as Tie Chi crocodile died, he collapsed to the ground.
Mo Tian Ge was somewhat worried, and once again swallowed a Supplementing Spirit Pill, barely replenishing some of his spiritual energy. With great difficulty, he stood up, dragging his heavy legs as he walked towards Murong Di.
"Murong Shixiong, Murong Shixiong!" Murong Zi lay motionless on the ground, with bloodstains at the corner of his mouth, clearly having coughed it up due to severe injuries. Mo Tian Ge gritted her teeth and took out a small pill, stuffing it into his mouth. Although she herself hadn't been injured, her spiritual energy was depleted, and if another danger were to arise in the short term, things would be bad; it was better to prioritize saving his life first - two people together were safer after all.
After being fed Xiao Huandan, Murong Zi finally slowly woke up and saw her, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Ye Shidi, what medicine did you give me to eat..."
Mo Tian Ge smiled wryly and said, "It was specially prepared for this trial, now it can only be given to Shixiong at a discount." She didn't dare say that she still had another bottle on her, although Murong Shixiong seemed like an upright person and was also the older brother of Murong Yan, but he wasn't very close to her.
Murong Zi didn't suspect a thing, his face showing a hint of emotion, and he said sincerely: "Thank you, Ye Shidi. If it weren't for this pellet you gave me to eat, my injuries definitely wouldn't have lasted until tomorrow."
"Moyun Shixiong, if you don't want to take advantage of me, just return my Dan Yao after you leave. For now, let's focus on treating our injuries, or else we might run into more trouble..." As she spoke, her brow furrowed, and someone arrived!
It's settled! Thanks to the 5000 coins from above, and the rewards from book friends 1008***. Hmm, today I'll start calling out names. Again, thanks to the person who gave me the first pink vote, this is a historic step! Although until now I still don't quite understand this pink vote system... Speaking of which, I used to think that with rewards, I could read books for free, but later found out how naive I was...
