Chapter 32 – Black Water Crocodile and Sanyuan Grass
Chapter 32 – Black Water Crocodile and Sanyuan Grass
A hint of wariness flashed in Xu Chuniang’s eyes.
This White Lion Ridge, in addition to the demonic beast White Lion, there were some other demonic beasts that might be infested.
The demonic beasts there were usually at the third level of Qi cultivation, which was just right to be her opponent.
Under the same level of cultivation, there were high and low strengths between demonic beasts and cultivators, and the strengths and weaknesses of each type of demonic beast’s abilities varied.
But there was one thing that was beyond doubt, the demonic body of a demonic beast was stronger than that of a cultivator, which was a natural advantage.
Unless one is armed with things such as spiritual weapons or talismanic seals, a low-ranked cultivator is usually unable to defeat a demonic beast of the same rank.
This is because low level cultivators do not have many techniques at their disposal, and after they run out of spiritual energy, they can only let the demonic beasts fish and meat.
This was also the reason why Xu Chuniang chose the third level Qi cultivation demonic beast as her target.
Although she had a cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi cultivation, she lacked the ability to fight in actual combat, and didn’t have a great chance of winning against a demonic beast that was also at the fourth level of Qi cultivation.
Moreover, even if she killed a demonic beast of the same level by a fluke, in a crisis-ridden environment like the Hundred Demon Mountain Range, it was still unknown if she could return safely.
As she ventured into the mountain alone, Xu Chuniang had to be more cautious.
After entering the mountain again, she changed out of her Easy Sect disciple’s clothes, and immediately became a stranger to the rest of the world, not much different from the common casual cultivator.
It was just that amongst the large group of people who had teamed up to go up the mountain, her traveling alone was very different, attracting a lot of people’s scrutiny and scorn.
After all, those who dared to travel alone in the Hundred Demons Mountain Range were not simple.
Xu Chuniang didn’t care about other people’s gazes and went straight to the White Lion Ridge after entering the mountain.
White Lion Ridge was also considered to be one of the more famous places on the outskirts of the Hundred Demon Mountain Range, and Xu Chuniang realized that there were quite a few teams that were actually on the same path as her.
However, these teams were obviously all mixed up here all year round, and had a tacit understanding with each other.
After entering the White Lion Ridge, they each sought out a direction, rather like not interfering with each other.
Xu Chuniang put her heart down a little and chose a direction to continue on.
After walking for more than half an hour, no demonic beasts were encountered on the road.
Xu Chuniang was not surprised, come to this White Lion Ridge of people, I’m afraid to go deeper in order to gain something, her feet keep walking in.
Walking forward for an hour, the surrounding vegetation gradually changed, becoming taller and denser, this is already the depths of the White Lion Ridge.
Xu Chuniang slowed down her pace, secretly on guard.
After climbing over a small hill, she saw from afar that there was a water pool on the opposite side.
Xu Chuniang’s sharp eyes saw that there was a spiritual grass growing next to the water pool, which was the main ingredient for refining Yuan Qi Dan, Sanyuan Grass.
Her spirit was shaken, the Sanyuan Grass was very precious, it was the main ingredient for refining the Yuan Qi Pill.
With just one Sanyuan Grass and some other herbs, a furnace of Yuan Qi Dan could be refined.
This one plant of Sanyuan Grass was worth at least fifteen spirit stones!
Although Xu Chuniang’s heart was moved, she did not immediately go forward to pick it. A spirit herb like the Sanyuan Grass couldn’t possibly not be guarded by demonic beasts.
She cast her gaze towards the water pool, a flicker of thought flashing through her eyes, the demonic beasts were most likely hiding inside.
Just try it out and you’ll know!
Xu Chuniang revved up her Spiritual Void Steps and made a move to pick the Sanyuan Grass.
The moment she got close to the Sanyuan Grass, a huge black shadow rushed out of the water, opening its mouth to reveal white teeth and biting ferociously at her!
It was a Black Water Crocodile of the third level of Qi Practicing!
Xu Chuniang’s heart sank slightly, this Black Water Crocodile had a strong aura, its stay at the third level of Qi cultivation was definitely not short, and it was only a hair’s breadth away from the fourth level of Qi cultivation.
I’m afraid that this Sanyuan Grass is what it’s guarding, waiting to eat when it breaks through.
The Black Water Crocodile is a water demonic beast, not only is it fast and has a strong bite, but it can also perform water magic.
Its body was covered in hard black scale armor, and even its defense ability was quite strong.
Its only weakness was its fear of fire, making it one of the most ferocious and difficult to mess with demonic beasts in the White Lion Ridge.
Xu Chuniang didn’t expect that she had just come to this White Lion Ridge and encountered such a tough opponent!
While her thoughts were racing, her feet were not slow, shooting towards the back. The Black Water Crocodile was in hot pursuit, biting very close to Xu Chunniang, and from time to time spraying out one or two water arrows to block her figure.
Xu Chuniang executed her Spiritual Void Steps to dodge while thinking of a solution.
The Black Water Crocodile was water-attributed, so I’m afraid the Water Binding Technique wouldn’t be able to trap it for very long, but she could utilize the fact that it was afraid of fire!
After making up her mind, Xu Chuniang stopped dodging and took out a fireball talisman she had seized yesterday from her storage bag.
After recognizing the opportunity, she pinched up the fireball talisman and threw it towards the mouth of the open-mouthed black water crocodile!
“Fireball talisman, explode!”
The talisman exploded directly in the Black Water Crocodile’s mouth, and a brightly colored ball of fire burned up.
The Blackwater Crocodile was in pain and frightened by the firelight, and immediately roared in anger, looking at Xu Chuniang with a hateful and fearful gaze.
Xu Chuniang’s face was as cold as frost, and after detonating the fireball talisman, she directly cast a Water Binding Technique, actually gritting her teeth and casting three Water Binding Techniques at the same time.
Only to see three water balls, from three directions towards the black water crocodile surging, instantly the black water crocodile that was roaring heavily wrapped up!
After doing all this, Xu Chuniang didn’t stop there, the speed of the Spirit Explosion Technique’s execution reached the extreme, and soon four Exploding Spirit Auras were fissured out.
Just when she was about to fission again, she heard three “puh puh puh puh” sounds, but it was three water spheres, all of which were broken by the black water crocodile!
Xu Chuniang’s heart tightened, her hands moved faster and faster, and when the black water crocodile rushed over, she finally fissioned the explosive aura again.
She ruthlessly pushed all of the explosive aura towards the black water crocodile, and at the same time, she frantically operated the Spirit Void Steps to retreat backward.
“Bang!”
Eight tiny clusters of Explosive Spiritual Qi, each with a destructive power not inferior to that of a Fireball Technique, simultaneously exploded at the head of the Blackwater Crocodile!
The Black Water Crocodile’s figure instantly fell to the ground, and a large bloody hole was blown out of its head, which was gurgling blood outward.
The black water crocodile was not dead yet, but it was just that the air coming in was less and the air going out was more, and it looked like it was going to die.
Xu Chuniang’s face was white, the result of using her aura too dramatically in a short period of time.
She didn’t approach the Black Water Crocodile hastily, and watched it completely fall out of breath before stepping forward.
Although today’s battle seemed dangerous, in reality, the rhythm of the battle had been within Xu Chunniang’s grasp.
However, for this battle to end so quickly, the fireball talisman from earlier had done a lot of good.
After Xu Chuniang had counter-robbed her, she had obtained a total of three lower-grade talismans, two Fireball Talismans and one Sprinting Talisman.
Right now, the fireball talismans had already been used up, leaving only the last speeding talisman.
Xu Chuniang pondered in her heart, it seems that in the future, she could prepare more talisman seals on her body.
Although these talisman seals were only 60% to 70% as powerful as the original spells, they could be instantly activated and did not require the expenditure of one’s own spiritual qi, making them very convenient and useful.
After storing the Blackwater Crocodile’s corpse in her storage bag, Xu Chuniang looked towards the blood on the ground, the Blackwater Crocodile’s blood could be used to make talisman ink, so it couldn’t be wasted.
Except for some that had seeped into the soil and couldn’t be collected, Xu Chunniang didn’t let go of the rest, and collected a full seven bottles.
After collecting the blood, Xu Chunniang cast the Spiritual Rain Technique in place to flush it out.
After making sure that the smell of blood was already extremely faint, she returned to the edge of the water pool, took out her medicinal hoe, and carefully dug out the Sanyuan Grass.
After placing the Sanyuan Grass into a jade box and storing it away, Xu Chunniang smiled faintly.
Although today’s encounter with this black water crocodile was a bit dangerous, the danger and the benefits went hand in hand.
This Sanyuan Grass alone was worth at least fifteen Spirit Stones, and the Black Water Crocodile in her storage bag was worth even more.
Although she was a bit tired, Xu Chuniang was more excited, her heart had always longed for the ability to earn more spirit stones and buy a handy spirit weapon to defend herself.
In a situation like today’s, if she had a spirit weapon, the black water crocodile would be even less of a match for her.
Just one trip into the White Lion Ridge and she had so much income, so she thought that very soon, she would soon be able to save up enough spirit stones to have her own spirit weapon, right?
Xu Chuniang’s heart lit up with a majestic fighting spirit to earn spirit stones and buy a spirit weapon!
