A counter-shock force appeared, and Zhao Cong's body flew into the air again, this time flying a full hundred meters high.
At the same time, the water monster's body also fell downwards.
"boom!"
But then, the water monster that had just submerged in the lake reappeared and hit Zhao Cong, who was falling. After a loud explosion, a line of blood appeared in the sky, and Zhao Cong's body flew into the air again.
But this time, Zhao Cong no longer flew straight up and down, but flew out diagonally. After flying about a hundred meters, he landed with a pop in a vortex that had just appeared.
The vortex stirred, and water splashes several feet high appeared. From time to time, loud noises were heard, as if Zhao Cong was fighting a fierce battle with the water monster.
After a while, the water waves gradually became smaller, and finally, a large group of blood flowers appeared on the clear water surface, and the rolling lake water slowly returned to calm.
"Why!"
There was a sigh from the Xuanwu Sect. It was clear that Zhao Cong was in danger. A tenth-level true energy existence had just fallen.
Everyone withdrew their gaze, fell into deep thought, and remained silent for a long time.
A thousand-year-old elixir was right in front of them, but they couldn't get it. Everyone was helpless and lamented.
"What do you think?" After a moment, Zi Chen raised his head and asked.
"It should be a water monster, and its strength should be at the tenth level of Qi, which means it is a level ten ferocious beast."
"Looking at the scales, it should be a tentacle, or a water monster like an octopus."
"Probably"
Everyone speculated and expressed their opinions.
Zi Chen and the other three did not speak.
"What about you, how do you feel?" Su Mengyao looked at Zi Chen. Others also looked towards Zi Chen.
Zi Chen pondered for a moment and said: "I feel different from you. That Zhao Cong is very powerful. Generally speaking, he can kill ferocious beasts at the tenth level of Qi. But did you notice that when he fought against the water monster for the second time? , has already vomited blood and been seriously injured. Obviously the water monster is very strong, I think it should be in the innate realm."
"What, innate realm, how is this possible? The limit that can be accommodated here is the peak of the tenth level of true energy?" Everyone was surprised.
"That's an outsider. Who can stipulate that there can't be an innate realm here." Zi Chen said. In fact, there is one thing he didn't say, that is, if I have enough elixir, I can break through to the innate realm.
"This" everyone was stunned and fell into silence, obviously thinking about Zi Chen's words.
"Furthermore, I guess that the water monster is not an octopus at all. It is covered in scales and is more like a snake's tail. Of course, it is just a guess and I am not sure." Zi Chen added.
"The tail of a snake. If that's true, how long does the snake have to be? Several hundred meters. Is there such a long snake? I insist it's an octopus."
"Yes, Octopus is very likely."
Everyone's expressions were surprised and uncertain. After some discussion, nothing substantial was obtained, so we can only continue to waste time here.
Miaokong said nothing, lost in thought, and never participated in the discussion. Zhang Haotian is naturally cold-blooded, and it is not his character to discuss issues.
"Why don't you say anything? What do you think?" Zi Chen looked at Miaokong. Miaokong doesn't talk much, but his observations are absolutely sharp and his mind is clear at all times.
Miaokong looked at Zhanwu Sect, where dozens of disciples were gathered. In terms of strength, Lingwuzong was the weakest, but in terms of number of people, Zhanwu Sect had the smallest number of disciples. "I was wondering why everyone knows about the Millennium Elixir that is so attractive. Why didn't I know about it in the early hours of the morning and didn't come here?"
"And Xie Qiu didn't come either." Miaokong said: "None of this is surprising, but even Ling Fei didn't come."
Miaokong had never met Ling Fei, but he had heard Zi Chen mention this young man. As long as he appeared, he would definitely attract too much attention.
"Yes!" Miaokong's words directly woke everyone up, like an enlightenment.
Zi Chen's eyes lit up and he said, "Do you think this is a conspiracy?"
"I can't guarantee it, but I still feel something is wrong. By the way, senior sister, who gave you the news? Is he also a disciple of the Zhan Wuzong?"
"Yes, he is a disciple of Zhan Wuzong." Lin Xue said first.
"So are we, and the other party's first sentence was the thousand-year elixir. I suspect this is Zhan Wuzong's conspiracy." Miao Kong said.
"But the elixir is really here, and where did the conspiracy come from? Do they want to reap the benefits of fighting against the Wuzong people?"
Everyone couldn't understand it again.
"In the early hours of the morning, he was busy with an important matter and left in a hurry after seriously injuring me. He didn't show up this time. Could it be that the incident exceeded the temptation of a thousand-year-old elixir." Zhang Haotian rarely spoke.
"Even so, Ling Fei should have appeared." Zi Chen said, "This should be a conspiracy."
"But using a millennium elixir as a conspiracy, what is their purpose? Let the water monster kill us, and we will be fine as long as we don't enter the water. Or do they want to reap the benefits and wait until we have a fierce battle with the water monster? sudden appearance?"
Everyone was puzzled.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and everyone turned their heads and saw three young people walking towards this side.
"They are from the Xuanwu Sect, Mu Yi and Liang Guang, the strongest members of the Xuanwu Sect this time." Someone next to him whispered.
Zi Chen and others looked at the three uninvited guests warily.
Zhao Cong had just died. Mu Yi and the others were in a bad mood, and their faces were a little gloomy. After seeing the wary eyes of Zi Chen and the others from a distance, they first clasped their fists.
"Junior brothers, I am Xuanwu Sect Mu Yi. We have no ill intentions. We are just here to discuss matters regarding water monsters with a few of you." Mu Yi spoke with a gentle voice, and Zi Chen and others were relieved of their alertness.
"This is Liang Guang, and this is our junior brother Lu Peng." Mu Yi stepped forward and introduced them one by one.
"I'm Zi Chen."
"Zhang Haotian!"
"Miaokong has met senior brother."
"Su Mengyao!"
"Lin Xue."
Several people introduced each other one after another, and the tense atmosphere eased.
"Junior brother Zi Chen, I have long admired you! Recently, your reputation and Zhang Haotian's reputation have far surpassed ours." Mu Yi complimented.
"Senior brother, you've received the award. Don't believe the rumors at all." Zi Chen said with a faint smile.
"No, we didn't hear the rumors, but the facts we saw." Mu Yi said: "We followed Xu Yan to the valley that day, and we also saw the nine dead inner sect disciples. Junior Brother Zi Chen, whether he was Both his mind and his character make us admire him endlessly.”
"Are you and Xu Yan in the same group?" Zi Chen's face changed, and there was a cold light in his eyes. As for Zhang Haotian, he was more direct, with murderous intent in his cold eyes.
"Senior brother, don't get me wrong. Xu Yan came to us that day. We just wanted to see our senior brother. It's a pity that we didn't see him. But when we saw that he could bury the enemy's corpse, we were filled with admiration." Lu Peng smiled lightly. , explained.
"What about Xu Yan?"
Lu Peng shook his head and said, "I don't know. After he saw the beast dumping its body that day, he seemed to have gone crazy. He tore the body of the beast into pieces and ran away."
Zi Chen's expression softened.
"I wonder what senior brother thinks of this water monster?" Lu Peng asked.
"It's awkward to call me senior brother. You should call me Zi Chen." Zi Chen said: "I suspect that this water monster is from the innate realm. It may be a big snake, but some people say it is from an octopus. It was used against Zhao Cong before. Just a tentacle."
"You also guess that it is a big snake in the innate realm?" Lu Peng's eyes lit up.
Zi Chen nodded and said: "It's just a guess, but I don't dare to make a conclusion."
"Then what can you do?"
"There is no way at the moment, unless," after hesitating for a moment, Zi Chen said, "unless we all enter the water and fill it with human life until the water monster is killed."
This is a stupid way and the only way. A Zhao Cong died in just a few strokes. Zi Chen didn't think he was better than Zhao Cong, so he couldn't go there alone.
Lu Peng nodded and said: "This is indeed a method, but it seems not cost-effective to lose so many lives for a thousand-year elixir, and not everyone is willing to go in."
Although there are a large number of people here, everyone has their own thoughts and cannot be commanded uniformly. Most people are here to join in the fun.
"It seems that this thousand-year-old elixir has no chance with us." Lu Peng sighed, and the faces of others were also full of disappointment.
"It's a pity that it's a water monster. If it were on land, it might still be possible." Zi Chen also sighed.
The thousand-year elixir is a good thing, but no one can get it.
Zi Chen pondered for a long time, and finally reminded: "We previously speculated whether this matter might be a conspiracy in the early hours of the morning, but we really can't figure out why he would do this."
After much hesitation, Zi Chen finally told the truth. If this was a conspiracy, then the two parties could form an alliance.
Lu Peng, Mu Yi, and Liang Guang all frowned and looked at Zhan Wuzong. There were only two strong men with tenth level of Qi in Zhan Wuzong, and the number of disciples was not many.
"If it's really a conspiracy, there must be multiple plots. We might as well get out of here first." Lu Peng suggested.
"That makes sense. Let's retreat first and see if this is a conspiracy." Zi Chen and others also nodded.
"I'm going to gather people." Mu Yi turned around and left.
However, at this moment, a violent aura suddenly emerged from the mouth of the valley, and the terrifying innate pressure made everyone's expressions change drastically.
"No, this is an innate monster. How can there be an innate-level monster here?"
The tenth-level ferocious beasts and upwards are monster beasts.
Under the brutal pressure, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the entire valley became chaotic, and a ruthless sense of murder filled the entire valley.
"Could this be Chen Ling's back-up plan? He wants to kill us."
There are innate monsters in front of them and a large lake behind them. It is even more dangerous there. Everyone has no way to retreat. Some people have guessed Zhan Wuzong's conspiracy.
"So insidious, he doesn't even hesitate to kill people from his own sect."
At this moment, everyone had already concluded that this was Zhan Wuzong's conspiracy. At this moment, a strong smell of blood appeared from the mouth of the valley, and then a figure quickly rushed towards the valley. In one step, it was over a hundred meters away. .
The opponent's hair was disheveled, his eyes were cold, and the aura around him was violent. The innate pressure came from the opponent.
"It's not a monster, it's a human being. Someone actually broke through to the innate realm."
Seeing that it was someone coming, some monks secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but after Zi Chen saw the figure, there was horror in his eyes.
