Chapter 43: Ink Jiao
The black shadow was deep in the pool, and Yun Lan couldn't see its full face, but judging from the shape of the shadow, it looked a bit like a snake.
This is going to be difficult.
The spiritual grass is in the center of the water pool, and the black shadow is in the water pool. It occupies the right time, place and people. Other monsters or Yun Lan rush to attack, they may not be its opponent, and it can eat the mature Tianxing in the first time. lotus.
However, the monsters in the water also have a disadvantage, that is, their sense of smell is not sensitive, and they cannot judge the location of the enemy through their sense of smell.
Yun Lan decided to hide first and check the situation before deciding whether to snatch the Star Lotus.
She is now at the peak of the Golden Elixir Stage. Although she does not need the Infant Transformation Pill to break through the bottleneck, it will be much easier for her to break through if she gets this Sky Star Lotus.
In fact, the easiest way is to pour the shadow rat's venom into the pool, but since there are black shadows in the pool, there must be other creatures. If Yun Lan poisons it, all the other creatures in the pool will survive. No.
Not only will no one survive, this place will continue to be unsuitable for life for a long time, until the gurgling water dilutes the venom to the point where it will not affect life.
But this is a pool, not a flowing stream. With its slow flow rate and the poisonous nature of the shadow rats, there may not be any living creatures here for decades.
Moreover, water is the source of all things, and the plants and animals nearby will be affected by this.
Only demon cultivators can do this kind of thing of annihilating an ethnic group. Cultivators pay attention to the unity of heaven and man. Doing such a cruel thing will cause inner demons to appear.
Natural selection, competing with monsters for cultivation resources is one thing, but making this area lose all life is another.
Yun Lan would not choose to do this unless it was absolutely necessary.
Not long after, the first monster came over smelling the scent.
It was a striking white-fronted tiger, about as tall as two Yun Lans, with a palm bigger than Yun Lan's head. It was walking with heavy and slow steps, as if it was patrolling its territory.
Judging from the aura on its body, it is a monster beast at the peak of the fourth level, and it is about to break through to the fifth level. There are no other monsters that can rival it where it lives, otherwise it would not have raised such a scornful beast. temperament.
If you look closely, you will see a pair of small wings on the back of its forelimbs. If you guessed correctly, this is the Wind Thunder Tiger.
This kind of monster is born as a third-level monster, and when it reaches adulthood, it becomes a fifth-level monster, which is equivalent to the distraction period of human cultivation. Some individuals can even reach the sixth level.
It is now at the peak of the fourth level and is still in the growth stage. As long as it can break through to the fifth level, it will reach adulthood, and those wings will no longer be decorations, but will become its weapon to dominate the forest.
Although Tianxinglian is the main material of Huaying Dan, it can also have a good effect on Yuanying stage monks. If it is eaten by this wind and thunder tiger, it only needs to accumulate spiritual power for a period of time to break through to the fifth level. .
Yun Lan regretted a little. Tianxinglian was a treasure that could help break through. The monsters attracted might be the fourth-order monsters whose peak was close to the fifth-order.
In her current situation, it would be good to be able to deal with an early stage fourth-level monster. The peak of the Golden Core stage and the peak of the Nascent Soul stage span an entire level. This is an unbridgeable gap.
But it's too late now. If she leaves rashly, she will attract the attention of the thunder tiger.
Although her current Divine Walk can run a hundred meters in one go, the Wind Thunder Tiger, as its name suggests, is a monster with both wind and thunder attributes. The speed of the wind attribute monster is the fastest among all attribute monsters.
Moreover, it is still at the peak of the fourth level, and a hundred meters is just a blink of an eye for it. Yun Lan has no way to escape.
Now that he has come, he is at peace with himself, and Yun Lan has completely quenched his desire to leave.
If she's lucky, they'll defeat both of them and ask her to go out and take advantage.
If she is unlucky, the strength of the victorious monster will not be affected much, so she will take advantage of the opponent's opportunity to absorb the Tianxinglian and leave.
Soon, the second monster arrived. From a distance, Yun Lan saw a giant beast that was as high as the tree crown walking from a distance. The ground shook with every step.
This is a flaming demon cow, its fur is dark red, and sparks flutter with every breath.
Late fourth stage.
Although its cultivation level is not as high as that of the Wind Thunder Tiger, this monster has rough skin and thick flesh, and is several times the size of the Wind Thunder Tiger. If they meet on a regular basis, the two sides may not fight because it is difficult to tell the winner.
Not long after, a bird song appeared in the sky. It was the big bird that appeared when Yun Lan was observing the terrain, and it was another peak fourth-level bird.
The bird kept circling in the sky. Yun Lan couldn't see its characteristics clearly, so naturally she couldn't recognize what kind of monster it was.
Normally, the fourth-level monsters move around in their respective territories, and it is rare for everyone to gather together. Now, because of the maturity of Tianxinglian, they are gathered here.
Yun Lan could already predict the scene that would happen next, which would definitely be extremely tragic.
There is only one Sky Star Lotus, and if they want to successfully break through to the fifth level, they must kill other competitors.
Fortunately, Yun Lan initially chose a tree that was far away. If it was too close to the pool, she might also be implicated.
The Feng Leihu who arrived first did not show any hostility toward the Flame Demon Bull, but quietly lay down by the pool to recharge his batteries, making up his mind to wait until the Sky Star Lotus matured before taking action.
However, it is normal for it to have such thoughts. The Wind Thunder Tiger is extremely fast. If other monsters are not good at speed, it can definitely snatch away the Tianxing Lotus before the other monsters can react.
However, the Flame Demon Bull had no advantage in speed. Seeing that Feng Leihu didn't make a move, it walked straight towards the water pool.
This is because he wants to take advantage of his thick skin and thick flesh to occupy a favorable position in advance. When the star lotus matures, he can eat it directly into his belly.
The temperature of the Flame Demon Bull's skin is extremely high. After it enters the water, a large amount of white water vapor appears around its body. This is because the water close to its skin has evaporated due to the high temperature.
Yun Lan clearly saw that the black shadow in the pool was swimming faster and faster, as if it was becoming manic due to the appearance of the flaming demon cow.
Seeing the flaming demonic bull running straight towards the Tianxinglian, the monster in the water finally couldn't bear it any longer and suddenly emerged from the water.
It was a giant black scaly beast with a snake's head and a single horn, and a pair of claws on its belly. It opened its teeth and claws to warn the flaming demonic cow.
The splashing water fell on the flaming demon cow and made a "sizzling" sound. It turned into part of the water vapor without even touching its fur.
The one-horned snake is a dragon. The dragon has disappeared from the cultivation continent for tens of thousands of years, and the only ones left are some monster beasts with the blood of the dragon clan.
