Tian Xiaoding chatted with the three monks he met on the road. Along the way, the number of monks on the road gradually increased. Many people who knew Gunn and Dade would come over to say hello to them.
When Xiao Ding followed the three people to a huge lake, he saw that hundreds of people had already gathered around the lake. Everyone looked at the lake, pointed at it, and talked about it.
At the same time, Xiao Ding also saw two beautiful figures in the crowd, which were the two female nuns he had helped before. According to Lu Dailing, the two of them are Lu Nianuan and her junior sister Yu Xiaoting from the Red Flame Peak Yehuo Sect.
At this time, Xiao Ding secretly looked at the two female nuns again and found that, in terms of beauty alone, the tall female nun wearing a veil was better. Although she wears a veil, her veil is also made of special materials, which has the effect of isolating spiritual detection. Xiao Ding cannot detect her specific face. But the veil is translucent, and you can vaguely see the outline of the face behind the veil without using your spiritual sense to detect it.
Moreover, in terms of figure alone, a tall woman will definitely be more attractive.
Therefore, Xiao Ding guessed that the veiled female cultivator must be Lu Nianguan, who ranked first among the seven beauties of Hua Xuanzhou, tied with Ouyang Qing.
The round-faced and petite female cultivator next to her should be her junior sister Yu Xiaoting.
However, at this moment, Lu Nian'an and Yu Xiaoting were staring at the lake with all their concentration, and did not notice Xiao Ding and the other four walking towards the lake.
The attentive Xiao Ding also discovered that dozens of young monks had gathered around Lu Nianuan and Yu Xiaoting. From the respectful eyes of these young monks on Lu Nianuan, it can be seen that they should all be Lu Nianuan's admirers. .
But Lu Nian'an's face was calm and cold, and no one dared to talk to her.
Xiao Ding and the other two came to the back of the crowd and looked towards the lake.
However, Xiao Ding was lucky. He was tall and burly. Standing behind the other monks, he could see the situation on the lake clearly. Gan En, Dade and Lu Dailing were not as tall as Xiao Ding. Standing behind the crowd, they could see clearly. They couldn't see the lake properly, so the three of them pulled Xiao Ding and walked towards the sparsely crowded areas on both sides.
Although there are hundreds of monks gathered around Naliang Lake, Naliang Lake is large enough, and these hundreds of monks are scattered around Naliang Lake, so it will not seem too crowded.
The place where Xiao Ding and the others were standing just now was not far from the two girls Lu Nian'an. There were many young male cultivators who admired Lu Nian'an gathered there, so there seemed to be more people there.
After Xiao Ding and the other four arrived at a less crowded location, the four of them saw clearly that there was a small island in the middle of Nailiang Lake. Around the island, there are plants like cattails. The three words "Shui Ying Pu" immediately flashed in the four people's minds.
However, the reason why no one dared to act rashly among so many monks by the lake was because everyone could see that there were two huge pythons with green and white patterns entangled on the island in the middle of the lake.
Xiao Ding recognized at a glance that the two huge pythons were water snakes. They are much larger than the water snake kept in Xiao Ding Qiankun's pot. Moreover, their cultivation level is also higher than that of Xiao Ding's Shui Ling Snake. They are already sixth-level monsters, which is equivalent to the realm of human beings at the golden elixir stage.
The monks by the lake are all monks in the foundation-building stage. They are not stupid. Who is willing to take the initiative to provoke a sixth-level monster? Isn't that no different from seeking death?
Whether it is between human monks or between humans and monster beasts, there is a huge difference in cultivation level, and the difference in strength is not as simple as a slight difference.
The sixth-level monsters have formed demon elixirs, just like human golden elixir stage monks form elixirs. This is not something that these foundation-building monks by the lake can match.
Xiao Ding could hear the monks by the lake talking about each other. Some of them said that they could sneak over and steal the water snakes; others suggested that all the monks by the lake should be organized to attack the two water snakes; Some people also said that you can wait here first, wait for the two water snakes to fall asleep at night, and then sneak over to pick water cattails...
Anyway, the monks on the shore have all kinds of ideas and all kinds of ideas.
Xiao Ding smiled slightly. He felt that if he wanted to get the water phoenix, there might be only one way, and that was the trick he had used many times before and tried repeatedly to lure the tiger away from the mountain. However, with so many monks on the shore, who would be willing to move the tiger away from the mountain?
You don't need to think about it to know that the risk factor for those who go to lure the tiger away from the mountain is extremely high, and they may die if they fail. Everyone is here to hunt for treasure, who would be so stupid as to sacrifice his own life just to help others?
Therefore, although there are so many monks standing on the shore of the lake, some of them should have thought of this plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. However, it is simply impossible for anyone to be willing to stand up and attract the pair of water snakes to leave the island in the middle of the lake. .
This is also the main reason why so many people are standing by the lake, just talking, but no one is willing to take action first.
This is like the story of three monks who had no water to drink. One monk carried water to drink, two monks carried water to drink, and the three monks had no water to drink. Everyone is counting on others to make the first move so that they can profit from it. Therefore, everyone stood there just discussing, but no one was willing to take the lead.
Xiao Ding feels that if the stalemate continues like this, even if he waits here for another three days and three nights, the current situation may not change. No matter how many people came to the lake, no one would be the first to take action against the two water snakes guarding the hydrangeas.
Just when Xiao Ding thought that he could not break the deadlock, he suddenly heard someone yelling "Ah", and then he saw a figure flying towards the center of the lake crookedly.
"Wow..." Everyone on the shore was immediately shocked.
Is there really a fool willing to act like a budding bird?
Just when everyone was confused, they saw the monk rushing into the water. Just when his feet were about to touch the water, he hurriedly took out his flying sword and stepped on his feet. Then it circled around and flew toward the shore in a panic.
Although this change on the shore was not a big movement, it also alarmed the two sixth-order water snakes on the island in the center of the lake.
In full view of everyone, one of the water snakes on the island in the center of the lake suddenly flew towards the position of the monk who had just entered the water...
The monk who had just entered the water was now riding a flying sword. As soon as he returned to the shore, he was seen angrily shouting at the people on the shore: "Who pushed me into the water just now?"
