Chapter 66: Wild Crocodile Trap(1/2)
Thunder Wasteland is located a hundred miles outside Poxuan City.
It is full of swamps, wilderness and miasma, which is extremely dangerous.
Most people are almost reluctant to go.
Xiao Yi and his group of six people started on their way just after dawn and arrived at the edge of the Thunderous Wasteland.
Looking from the outside, you can already see layers of fog inside, which looks extremely strange.
Xiao Yi took out a bag of pills and said, "I'm afraid the mist inside is not simple, and there may be miasma. To avoid accidents, it's better to take the detoxification pill first."
Uncle Tieda said, "Lin Fei and I once entered this Thundering Wasteland to hunt monsters. The fog outside is nothing, at most it affects our vision."
"The miasma will appear only after traveling for dozens of miles. We warriors are physically strong and are not afraid of these miasmas. At most, we will feel dizzy if we inhale too much."
"Elixirs are precious, it's better to save them for when you need them."
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "This detoxification pill is not expensive. I have refined a lot of it, which is enough for us."
After that, Xiao Yi distributed pills, detoxifying pills, giant power pills, hidden energy pills, etc. to everyone.
These elixirs were all refined in advance last night.
Everyone took the elixirs, and Huang Yuan said proudly, "We are really lucky to have the alchemist Yi Xiao join us, and we have a lot of elixirs to eat."
"That's right." Lin Fei also said, "Elixirs are too expensive. We can't even buy a few pills for one mission. We used to be reluctant to take them when we were on missions."
Xiao Yi smiled, in fact the materials for the elixir were not expensive, but the alchemist's status was noble, so the elixir was much more expensive out of thin air.
After everyone swallowed the elixir, Uncle Tieda said, "This time our target is the cave of Mad Blood Xuanjun."
"We will definitely encounter many monsters on the road. We will share the proceeds from killing the monsters equally."
"And when you get to the cave, whether you gain anything or not depends entirely on your own opportunities, how about that?"
Everyone nodded and then completely entered the Thundering Wasteland.
...
In the Thunderous Wasteland, fog surrounded everyone, and everyone's sight was limited to tens of meters, and they couldn't see anything further away.
Of course, except Lin Fei.
Whoosh, Lin Fei was seen condensing the Cloud Climbing Arrow martial spirit, and quickly fired a few arrows.
In the distance, a piercing sound was heard.
"There are three pythons in the thick fog ahead, ready to attack us." Lin Fei explained.
Everyone walked forward and took a look, and sure enough, three huge black pythons were pinned to the ground by three feather arrows, but they were not dead yet and were still twisting their bodies ferociously.
The Aragawa Python is a second-level monster, and its strength is at the acquired second level.
Whoosh, Uncle Tieda slashed out several knives to kill them, then grabbed the bodies with his big hand and threw them into the Qiankun Bag.
"The corpses are full of treasures." Uncle Tieda said to Xiao Yi and Qianmo, "In addition to the inner elixir, their fur, claws, and demon blood are all valuable materials."
"If you go on missions by yourself in the future, be sure to remember this."
Uncle Tieda knew that the two were novices and taught them.
Everyone moved forward again, encountering monsters from time to time, but they were all pinned by Lin Fei's cloud-shooting arrows in advance, which reduced a lot of trouble.
At this time, Qianmo suddenly asked, "Uncle Tieda, why is this place called Thunder Wasteland, but there is no thunder?"
Xiao Yi glanced at her helplessly.
She had never been nervous since she walked into the Thundering Wasteland. She asked strange questions from time to time and looked at the interesting plants around her. She seemed to be on a sightseeing trip.
However, Uncle Tieda was a good talker and said with a smile, "Speaking of this, except for Qian Mo and Yi Xiao, I'm afraid Lin Fei and you young people don't know about this, right?"
Speaking of youth, when Xiao Yi looked at Lin Fei and the others, he thought they were already in their early thirties.
I just found out last night that these three people are only twenty-five or six years old. It's just that they are monster hunters and need to travel around on missions. They have experienced hardships and appear to be more mature.
Uncle Tieda didn't sell it, and said directly, "I heard from the older generation of demon hunters that this place used to be a forbidden area. Thunder and lightning were dense, raging across the entire wasteland. No grass could grow, and nothing could grow. It was like a thunder prison."
"There once was a Dongxuan Realm warrior who ventured into this place, and was struck to death by lightning. After that, no one dared to set foot here again."
"It's just that, I don't know how many years ago, the thunder and lightning here suddenly disappeared, and then slowly monster hunters came here to hunt monsters."
After Uncle Tieda said this, everyone looked shocked. They did not expect that this place was such a terrifying and dangerous place before.
Just as everyone was in shock, several phantoms flew out of the thick fog.
Whoosh, Uncle Tieda had quick eyes and quick hands, and split several phantoms in half with one knife.
"It's the Fog Wind Demon." Lin Fei and others were startled, "Fortunately, Captain, you reacted quickly."
The thick fog wind monster is a second-level monster. It is not strong, but it is extremely fast and is good at sneak attacks.
Uncle Tieda suddenly said seriously, "This is the Thundering Wasteland after all, so we must not take it lightly. It's just that Yi Xiao and Qianmo are novices, what are you three doing blindly?"
"Yes." The three of them responded.
Everyone moved forward again, and miasma gradually appeared, making everyone's vision even worse, and they could barely see things within twenty meters.
Whoosh, Lin Fei shot and killed several monster beasts that tried to sneak attack.
"I picked up these ones." Du Xin said anxiously, walking quickly forward.
In fact, it doesn't matter whoever picks it up, it will be divided equally after all, but he is just afraid of suffering a loss.
However, just as he walked to the monster's corpse and was about to pick it up...
Suddenly, a huge creature appeared out of thin air.
"Du Xin, be careful." Lin Fei shot out an arrow.
However, the expected penetration did not occur, only the monster was injured.
With a whoosh, the monster disappeared out of thin air again.
"What is that thing and how did it appear?" Wang Yuan exclaimed.
Uncle Tieda said with a solemn expression, "If I read it correctly, it is the monster beast Desolate Crocodile."
The monster beast Desolate Crocodile is a second-level monster beast, equivalent to the strength of a fifth-level acquired warrior.
But the bodies of monster beasts are far stronger than those of human warriors.
They live in mountains and forests, and their environment is far worse than that of humans.
Due to the harsh environment and ferocious character, he can often eat the natural materials and treasures in the mountains and forests, as well as the flesh, blood and inner elixir of other weak monsters.
This makes their bodies extremely strong.
If a warrior of the same realm fights a monster, there is almost no chance of winning.
Lin Fei's cloud-rushing arrow could penetrate other monsters before. But when it hit the wild crocodile, it could only hurt it. This was the reason.
This is because Lin Fei is the sixth level of acquired cultivation, which is one level higher than that of Desolate Crocodile, otherwise he would not be able to hurt Desolate Crocodile at all.
"Ah." At this time, Du Xin suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone looked and saw that Du Xin suddenly sank and his feet were stuck in the swamp.
"What's going on? Where did the quagmire come from? This place is obviously flat land." Lin Fei was surprised.
"Stop talking nonsense and pull him up quickly." Uncle Tieda ordered.
Just when Lin Fei and Wang Yuan were about to move, Xiao Yi immediately shouted, "Slow down."
"When a person is stuck in a swamp, the further he pulls, the deeper he sinks." Xiao Yi shouted, "Du Xin, mobilize the true energy in your body, attach it to your feet, use the true energy to offset your gravity, and float up on your own."
"Okay." Du Xin responded and quickly followed the instructions.
But, the next second Du Xin exclaimed, "There is... something, there seems to be something under my feet..."
Whoosh... Whoosh... Next to Du Xin, two wild crocodiles suddenly jumped out of thin air, opening their bloody mouths, trying to devour Du Xin.
"Humph." Uncle Tieda snorted coldly, and a third level of innate aura surged out.
Two sword lights flashed, and the two wild crocodiles died.
"Come up quickly." Uncle Tieda said with an ugly face, "Damn it, we warriors are very responsive and there is no way we will fall into the quagmire. Du Xin, what's the matter with you?"
"I...I don't know." Du Xin also looked ugly.
At this time, Xiao Yi squatted down, stretched out his hand to twist some soil on the ground, and suddenly his face became solemn.
"There is something wrong with this soil." Xiao Yi said.
"Yi Xiao, what did you find?" Uncle Tieda asked quickly.
"Hmph." Du Xin, seeing that he had just made a fool of himself, said mockingly, "What can he discover if he is a day after tomorrow?"
Xiao Yi ignored him and said in a deep voice, "The soil is very soft and contains some sticky moisture. Moreover, the soil seems to be very scattered, like..."
Xiao Yi frowned and said, "It seems like it was piled up by something, rather than existing by itself."
Xiao Yi just finished speaking.
Uncle Tieda Lin Fei's expression suddenly changed.
