The vast river wind brings moisture and warmth to Huainan, and green and hairy grass emerges from the ground, like spring water rising from the depths of the earth.
Under the tree roots, small orange flowers are the first to bloom. Dense moss spreads deeper along the narrow entrance of the cave. After a winter of slumber, the thin snake crawls out of the cave slightly stiffly.
The sound of birds fluttering their feathers came rapidly from far and near. An eagle folded its wings, stretched out its sharp claws, and flew through the branches and leaves like a sharp arrow, creating a long shadow, spreading its wings and flying to the tree trunk.
The sharp beak tore open the snake's belly, and dark red blood dripped down the branches onto the small flowers.
The sound of fast horse hooves tore through the calm, shaking down the snake carcass hanging upside down, causing the giant eagle to flee out of the woods in shock.
Liang Qu took the lead, and the tiny yellow flowers flew up under the horse's hooves and fell to the ground into pieces.
He glanced sideways at the flying giant eagle, and out of the corner of his eye was Yang Dongxiong, who was dressed in pitch black armor and had a square-headed straight sword hanging from his waist.
After that, seven senior brothers, all dressed in fancy clothes and riding big horses, followed up one after another, burying the fallen yellow flowers in the dust.
After about a quarter of an hour, Liang Qu reined in his horse.
Through the gaps in the trees, you can already see the lake sparkling in the sun not far away.
Yang Dongxiong raised his hand and everyone ordered to stop it.
"right here?"
Liang Qu nodded: "It's the lake in front. There are three sturgeon spirits roaming around the lake entrance. I didn't dare to go in any further, for fear of an accident."
"You were right not to dare to enter. If you get close to the water, you will be blessed, but there will also be dangers."
Xu Zishuai drove forward: "Did Master notice something?"
"A little bit, but it's not accurate yet. It's estimated that such a demon with enlightened intelligence will lose its temper and get off the horse!"
Everyone got off their horses, found a forest a little further away, tied their reins, and came to the lake.
The clear blue waves are rippling, and the depth of the lake is evident.
Yang Dongxiong measured the mouth of the lake and found that it was five feet wide and was a small mouth.
Let’s take a look at the water level of the river at the mouth of the lake. It has rained frequently recently, but it is always drizzle. The water level of the river has not risen much and is far lower than the height of the river bank. If it is another month, it will probably be the same. Now it is just right.
After thinking about it, Yang Dongxiong made a decision in his mind.
"Yu Dun, Lu Gang, Zishuai, you three go and prepare to block the entrance of the lake."
"Yes!"*3
The three people asked and separated. Lu Gang and Yu Dun lined up on both sides of the lake entrance.
Xu Zishuai jumped to the other side of the river and surrounded the entire lake mouth in a triangle shape.
"The rest of you, please hide along the river and protect yourself. If you see a fish slipping through the net, take action to stop it!"
"yes!"
Liang Qu shouldered his spear and found a patch of withered yellow reeds in the upper reaches of the river.
In mid-March, when the reeds have not yet grown, they are all yellow grass left over from the winter, making a crunching sound when stepped on.
Squatting in the grass, Liang Qu concentrated his attention.
They can't be of much help in dealing with monsters, but watching a strong tiger hunter take action at close range is very beneficial and can greatly expand one's knowledge.
There are many things that cannot be experienced personally just by relying on book descriptions.
Liang Qu gathered his energy and concentrated his mind, and saw Yang Dongxiong walking to the lake and standing still, with all his energy and blood restrained to the extreme.
If they didn't know clearly that Yang Dongxiong was the Great Tiger Hunting Martial Master, ordinary people might really think of him as a tough little old man.
“I haven’t used my full strength for a long time.”
Yang Dongxiong placed his hand on the handle of the knife, pinched it together with his fingers, and took a deep breath.
boom!
The rolling grass swayed violently, and finally couldn't hold on anymore. It was torn at the waist and flew in the air.
call!
The broken grass that flew into the air was pressed down to the ground again, the billowing dust spread, and all the plants were neatly pressed down, and the entire ground seemed to have sunk several inches out of thin air.
Yang Dongxiong exhaled a long breath, dropped his shoulders and elbows, took a step, and cleared away all distracting thoughts.
The sound of the muscles and bones rubbing and twisting is like the sound of muffled thunder, and the blood is rushing and boiling like the shape of turbulent waves.
Even though they were hundreds of meters away, a substantial sense of oppression still hit us!
The long sword was unsheathed, and the cold light induced vomiting.
Clang!
The jet-black solid sword light slowly flew out from the blade, seemingly fast and slow, and an indescribable throbbing suddenly rose in Liang Qu's heart.
Birds flew away in fright for miles around, gophers burrowed in panic and abandoned their stored food, and horses tied to tree trunks just two miles away neighed in fear.
In the simple "palace", the sleeping sturgeon king was awakened by the terrifying momentum. He swung his body and tail and tried to escape, but it was too late.
The sword screamed and exploded, and it came in an instant, and the roaring wind blew through the air and the lake surface, breaking everything and cutting everything, almost cutting the entire lake in half.
Liang Qu clearly saw a building that looked like a pile of rocks, but could still be seen as a "palace" appearing in the center of the lake. In the blink of an eye, the "roof" was chopped into pieces by the flying knife light, and it hit straight into it.
The stone palace collapsed, and a powerful momentum rose from the lake. It turned out to be a huge sturgeon with a body length of more than 60 meters!
The sturgeon's side had a gaping hole several meters wide, and it was bleeding gurglingly.
"There really is a demon!"
Liang Qu's eyes were bright, and his guess was indeed correct.
If there are spirits guarding the door and still living in harmony, there must be a big guy suppressing them!
Sixty meters, twice as long as the blue whale, the largest creature in the previous life!
There are even five rows of bone plates bulging out from the body, like armor, and the whole body is as solid as gel, making it difficult for ordinary people to breathe just looking at it.
If the fishermen in Yixing City saw it, they might shout Dragon King and hold a river god ceremony.
Such a sturgeon monster must have big muscles on its body.
Sturgeon tendons, if eaten by young children, can increase their talents, if eaten by martial artists, they can increase the strength of their muscles and bones, and if eaten by the elderly, they can warm and nourish the marrow, strengthen their vitality, and extend their lifespan out of thin air!
How could such a treasure not be exciting?
What's more, the size of the entire lake is only more than half a mile. Compared with the control range of ordinary demons, it can be said to be very small, and it is completely a dwelling.
A strong tiger hunter would live in a cave for no other reason?
There must be a bigger secret!
Being stabbed by someone in his sleep, the Sturgeon King was furious. As his long tail swung, shock waves spread, cracking the earth, and the lake water rolled in like a tsunami.
It can be seen that the visitor is actually on the shore, so he immediately changes his strategy, turns over and escapes into the water.
"What a smart beast!"
Yang Dongxiong laughed loudly, and the branches and leaves of the trees on the bank were broken.
Xu was getting older and needed the nourishment of the sturgeon's tendons. He wanted to escape. Did he ask about the knife in his hand?
Yang Dongxiong flipped his wrist and turned the knife, and his strong energy and blood rose into the sky. In the blink of an eye, he struck out several more blows. The knife lights intertwined and merged together, like a fishing net covering the air.
Countless sharp edges pressed down, and the entire lake suddenly dropped. The endless lake water poured into the river, and the roar was like a sea tide.
Liang Qu's eardrums were about to be torn when the knife wind cut his face.
The water level of the entire lake dropped by tens of meters, and the center was close to a hundred meters, completely exposing the entire stone palace to the air.
Without water to block it, the blade became even sharper. The sturgeon king's proud back carapace could not resist at all, and his whole body was cracked with several bone scars.
The blood and lake water were mixed together, causing unbearable pain. The four kissing whiskers were like sharp whips, whipping the air and making bursts of screams.
A large amount of lake water poured into the river along the lake mouth, turning into two waves of water hammer and rushing towards both sides of the river.
Yu Dun, Lu Gang, and Xu Zishuai knew that the time had come, and they all used their strength to collapse the lake entrance.
Mud and rocks poured in on both sides, like an earth dragon turning over, forming a blockage.
Then, with the continuous reinforcement of the three people, a simple embankment higher than the river surface was quickly built.
The water flowing into the river could not be recharged, and the water level dropped to less than half its original level.
A large number of small fish were strangled into minced meat, which turned into blood and merged with the lake water.
Liang Qu also saw several spirits with white bellies turned over and jumping on the "square" in front of the palace.
Even his feet were soaked by the lake water, and many water flows did not have time to penetrate into the ground and flow back into the lake.
A curtain of white water poured down from the edge of the entire lake pit, and Liang Qu seemed to be standing at a waterfall scenic spot.
This can be regarded as the power of changing the terrain, right?
The Sturgeon King looked at the almost empty water around him. His body shape suddenly changed, and his limbs actually grew!
The entrance of the lake is blocked, and it wants to escape on land!
Demonize people!
Liang Qu didn't expect King Sturgeon to be able to do this.
It is possible for a spirit to transform into a human form if its strength reaches that of a demon, but often only great demons can change freely, and there are very few examples of ordinary demons that can do so.
This transformation is not to turn into a handsome man and beautiful woman in the novel, which is completely meaningless. Who would want to become another species?
For love?
Demons look at people just like people look at cats and dogs. They may find them cute, but they will never want to turn into similar creatures to have fun with them.
Except for very few people and monsters.
The reason is for strength.
The big demon transformed into a human being, giving birth to limbs and obtaining the functions of hands and feet, but it did not look like a human being at all.
Monsters are not born with intelligence, but gain intelligence naturally after transcending the world. They are destined to have no social nature.
Without social attributes, it is extremely difficult to develop advanced wisdom, just like the so-called "wolf children" in previous lives.
He was raised by wolves since he was a child and did not grow up in society. His genes are the same as those of ordinary people, but his intelligence level is the same as that of wild beasts.
It is said that there is a demon court at the bottom of the Jianghuai River. The demons communicate with each other, forming the prototype of a society.
In addition, most demons cannot accumulate previous experience at all, let alone create a martial arts system, and only rely on their physical bodies to fight.
Some intelligent monsters will choose to transform into limbs, learn human martial arts, and use weapons in order to increase their strength, and at the same time try to get rid of the shackles of water and have another way out.
Unfortunately, the Sturgeon King in front of him was too far behind.
Even Liang Qu could see that it had no combat experience out of the water, so it would only be nondescript and even more stupid if it changed its limbs.
Yang Dongxiong jumped into the lake, and his blade was unstoppable.
In Jianghuai Ze Wild Sturgeon King relies on its advantage in the water. It is not yet known who will lose and who will win, but here, the outcome is doomed early on.
This is a hunt, not a duel.
The eagle-eating snake seen on the road when Tathagata came.
Blood splattered everywhere, and huge limbs were broken at the roots.
The Sturgeon King can't hold on any longer!
Come on, start the pot!
