Chapter 2 Fighting the Ironclad Crocodile
Chen Yang turned over, kicked his feet, and was about to swim upwards, when suddenly Yu Guang discovered a simple and mysterious pot at the bottom of the pond.
The small pot lay quietly on the pile of gravel at the bottom of the pond. Its appearance was not dazzling, but a vicissitudes of life spread. Chen Yang suddenly felt a throbbing from his heart, as if a sound was calling him, and the source of the sound was this inconspicuous small pot.
Chen Yang hesitated for a while, but still did not dare to go over and pick up the small pot directly. The whole thing was strange, and Chen Yang had to think about it again and again.
Chen Yang carefully opened his spiritual consciousness and focused on the movements around him. Considering that he was in the pool, he also reached out to take out the only "water cover" talisman and tucked it in his palm.
As soon as he finished all this, he suddenly felt that some creature on the left was coming to him silently. This creature had very high ability to swim water, and did not cause any disturbance to the water flow. If it weren't for his full spiritual consciousness, he would probably not have noticed it at all. This made him startled and angry, and he couldn't help but wonder if this was a trap for him.
Before Chen Yang could think too much, he quickly activated the water cover talisman. A layer of blue light cover immediately wrapped him inside, flashed a few times, and turned into a shield of the same color as the pond water. At the same time, his body rushed upwards quickly.
Just after rising by about half a foot, Chen Yang felt something rushing towards him while rubbing his feet. When he looked closely, he found that it was a huge crocodile that was nearly three feet from beginning to end.
"Iron Armored Crocodile." The scales all over the crocodile were covered with a dark color, but also had a metallic texture, which made Chen Yang recognize this monster at a glance.
Judging from the strength of the spiritual energy emitted by this crocodile, this is a first-level intermediate-level monster compared to the human mid-stage cultivator. In addition, this iron-armored crocodile is fighting in its home environment, and the strength that can be exerted is even higher than that of ordinary mid-stage cultivator.
The only good news is that the iron-armored crocodile is not good at spells. Except for the iron-armored craft that is similar to the natural magical power, it does not have any other spells. Its strength lies in its close-range attack. The sharp teeth, sharp claws, and thick tail all show the strength of the iron-armored crocodile's close-range attack. But as long as it is distanced from it, the iron-armored crocodile does not have much lethality.
Therefore, Chen Yang's first idea when he saw the iron-armored crocodile was to quickly escape from the pool and return to land to fight with it. But considering that he was in the middle of the pool and was unable to move, while the iron-armored crocodile moved quickly in the water, this goal did not seem to be too easy to achieve.
The Yuan Turtle Shield is only suitable for defense; the earthen prison talisman has just been used. Seeing the iron-armored crocodile turn around and rush towards him, Chen Yang did not think of a solution for a moment.
In the blink of an eye, the iron-armored crocodile chased after him and slapped it with one claw. The water cover shook a few times, and it seemed like it was not supported. Another claw came over. The water cover looked like a bubble, and it was completely shattered with a "pop". Chen Yang's upward rushing momentum was immediately interrupted, and he was slapped back to the bottom of the pond by the powerful claw.
Chen Yang calmed down and quickly slapped another Vajra cover talisman on his body, and then he was a little shocked. Seeing the iron-armored crocodile chassis chasing, he used four or five water arrow talismans in succession, but was disappointed to find that the water arrow talisman had very low effect, and only blocked the iron-armored crocodile for a while.
He had no choice but to treat the dead horse as a living horse. Chen Yang sacrificed two more fireball talismans. However, by chance, this small area of water was immediately lit up by the fireball like oil. The water and fire were mixed together, and a large amount of mist-shaped white air was generated to isolate the sight of both sides.
Chen Yang was overjoyed, and quickly changed directions and swam quickly towards the shore. Until he reached the shore, the iron-armored crocodile could not catch up.
After Chen Yang got ashore, he quickly took a Qi-replenishing pill to replenish his very consumed spiritual power, and then put another one in his mouth for emergency needs. He also protected the Yuan Turtle Shield, which was not very convenient in the water just now, before he could calm down.
At this time, the iron-armored crocodile also climbed from the water to the shore. After leaving the small pool, the iron-armored crocodile seemed clumsy and had no agility in the water as if it was swimming fish.
After discovering this weakness of the Iron Armored Crocodile, Chen Yang immediately came up with a way to deal with it, removed the Yuan Turtle Shield, pretended to be seriously injured, and from a certain distance, he occasionally emitted a small fireball to tease the Iron Armored Crocodile and prevent it from turning around and running away. In fact, Chen Yang silently refined the Qi-replenishing Pill that he had just taken. For fear that it was not enough, he swallowed the other one in his mouth.
After a while of fighting, Chen Yang felt that his spiritual power had almost recovered. He rushed forward and fought with the Iron-Armored Crocodile nearby. Seeing that his claws were avoided one after another, the Iron-Armored Crocodile couldn't help but be anxious. Seeing that the damn human monk was very close to him, he opened his mouth and bit it.
Chen Yang was not surprised but happy, "You are waiting for you." He said happily secretly. Seeing the situation, Chen Yang took advantage of the situation and threw a fireball technique and the remaining three fireball talismans into the mouth of the iron armored crocodile.
Before the iron-armored crocodile could cultivate its mouth into iron armor, after a roar of fire, there was a blood rain. The power of the four fireball techniques actually exploded the head of the iron-armored crocodile.
The iron-armored crocodile twitched a few times before lying on the ground. Chen Yang tentatively shot out a small fireball. Seeing that the iron-armored crocodile had no reaction at all, he felt completely relieved and lay on the ground with his body wide open, enjoying the happiness of the aftermath of the disaster.
After a long time, Chen Yang tried hard to control his emotions such as gladness, excitement, and took out a dagger. The dagger was made of 100 steel steel. Although it was not a magic weapon, it was also a rare weapon.
Walking to the corpse of the giant crocodile, Chen Yang unceremoniously stabbed the back, abdomen and tails of the corpse with the dagger in his hand. It turned out that except for the abdomen, this sharp weapon of refining could not penetrate at all. Even the abdomen, the dagger could only enter less than half an inch. Only by continuing to use force could it be cut slowly, just like a dull knife cutting flesh, which made Chen Yang secretly smack his tongue. Fortunately, the iron-armored crocodile could not use the magic, otherwise he would have to explain it to him here today.
The claws of the iron-armored crocodile were also extremely sharp. A deep mark was drawn on the dagger with a light stroke. I tried it with the Yuan Turtle Shield and then slashed it hard, and a white mark could be drawn.
Chen Yang was overjoyed. It seemed that the iron-armored crocodile was full of treasures! After secretly planning, he started from the abdomen of the iron-armored crocodile and cut off the four claws one by one, preparing to find a weapon refiner to see if it could be refined into a complete set of magic weapons; and cut two soft skins several feet into the abdomen. Although the skin here is not as tough as other places, the texture is soft and just sewed an inner armor; drill into the body of the iron-armored crocodile from the place where the soft skin was cut, cut off the pieces of crocodile meat and throw it out, preparing to leave the iron-armored crocodile skin intact and sell it to the refining yard to exchange for spirit stones.
After busy for a long time, he finally finished disposing of the corpse of the iron armored crocodile. Looking at his face covered with fishy blood, Chen Yang laughed, took off his clothes, and jumped into the water.
After rushing to clean his body, Chen Yang sneaked to the bottom of the pond. Now he must have encountered the iron-armored crocodile and was just an accident, not a trap set by others, so he decided to find out.
The closer he got to the small pot, the stronger the throbbing in his heart. When he came to the small pot, Chen Yang forced himself to suppress his mood and looked at the small pot carefully. No matter how he looked, the small pot was very ordinary, as if it was just cast in bronze.
Holding it in my hand, the throbbing suddenly disappeared. When I wiped off the stain on the surface, I saw that the small pot was half a foot high, with a thick neck and a round body, with a lid on it. There was a small handle on both sides of the pot body. The lid and the round pot were painted with strange rune patterns, which looked like clouds but not clouds, and birds but not birds. At a high level, it looked like inferior bronzes cast by ordinary craftsmen. Looking closely, it also had a simple and wilderness.
After two consecutive battles, Chen Yang consumed a lot of energy. Before he could study the mysterious pot, he hurried ashore to change his clothes, and then created a bonfire by the pond, and fell asleep against the bonfire.
Monsters all have their own territory, and the iron-armored crocodile has just died, and no other monsters will come over for a while, so Chen Yang slept very sweetly.
When he woke up, it was already dusk. Chen Yang roasted a large piece of crocodile meat to fill his stomach, and then he was in the mood to calculate the benefits and losses of this action.
"Well, half a spirit stone is used for a water arrow talisman, and four are consumed, which means two spirit stones. The fireball talisman is a bit expensive, and five are almost three spirit stones, and a water cover talisman... The primary earth escape talisman, three spirit stones, and the talisman is worth eleven spirit stones in total." Chen Yang looked heartbroken.
The spirit stone mentioned here is a stone containing a certain amount of spiritual power in the world of immortal cultivation. This kind of spiritual power is very useful to immortal cultivators. When practicing, holding a spirit stone in your hand can quickly absorb the pure spiritual power in the stone into your own spiritual power without absorbing the thin spiritual energy of the world from the outside, greatly reducing the time spent on meditation by cultivators; when cultivators hold a spirit stone when fighting, they can also quickly restore spiritual power, extend the battle time, and even use the spirit stone to emit a
Some spells that you cannot easily issue; in addition, refining magic weapons and laying magic arrays require a certain amount of spirit stones. In particular, magic arrays are almost entirely powered by spiritual stones. The power of the magic array is directly linked to the quality of the spirit stones used. Almost every cultivator cannot do without spirit stones, but over-mining and newly discovered spirit stone veins are becoming increasingly rare, making it gradually become an equivalent of real gold and silver in the world in today's world of immortal cultivation, and a unique circulating currency for immortal cultivators.
According to the amount of spiritual power contained in the spirit stone, the spirit stone can be divided into four categories: low-level spirit stone, intermediate-level spirit stone, high-level spirit stone and top-level spirit stone. According to the different spiritual power attributes contained in the spirit stone, it can also be divided into five elements spirit stones such as gold spirit stone, wood spirit stone, water spirit stone, fire spirit stone, earth spirit stone, and rare rare attribute spirit stones such as wind spirit stone, thunder spirit stone, and ice spirit stone.
The spiritual power contained in the intermediate-level spirit stone is about one hundred times that of the low-level spirit stone, but the spiritual power is more supplied at one time and is more widely used. The price is higher than that of a hundred low-level spirit stones. The exchange price of each market varies, roughly maintaining around 16 or 7 spirit stones. And usually only mid-level spirit stones can be used to exchange for low-level spirit stones, but it is difficult to achieve it.
As for high-level spirit stones and top-level spirit stones, Chen Yang has never heard of anyone seeing them. This is because there are too few high-level spirit stones above, and I don’t know if they still exist in this world.
It is precisely because of the precious spirit stone that Chen Yang is so heartbroken by his consumption today.
After taking out the Yuan Turtle Shield, which had made great achievements today, looking at the scratches on the surface of the shield, and even a large crack at the bottom, Chen Yang's heart hurt even more, as if he saw his spirit stones flying away one by one with wings.
"Oh, the damage is so severe, and you will need ten spirit stones to complete repair. You can buy half a lower level magic weapon."
After calculating my own cost, I added two Qi-replenishing pills to almost have two, twenty-two, and three spirit stones.
Next is to calculate the income. Although the five-leaf golden thread grass is not exactly mature enough for the Zhenbao Pavilion, it is almost the same. It is estimated that at least seventy or eighty spirit stones will be sold. Chen Yang has decided to refine the claws and the crocodile skin on the abdomen of the iron-armored crocodile, but the crocodile skin in other parts can be sold to the refining workshop. I believe that after offsetting the refining cost, you can earn a few more spirit stones.
By doing this, after minusing the cost, Chen Yang not only could get the offensive magic weapon that he had been coveted for a long time, but also could simply enter more than fifty spirit stones, which could be said to be a great harvest. Thinking of this, Chen Yang's depression disappeared, leaving only his longing for the future.
