"This is really an interesting question. Why do these crocodiles never come ashore to attack human monks?" Suddenly realizing this problem, Cheng Yu became interested again. I hadn't thought about it before, but now that I think about it, it's a little strange.
This swamp area is about a hundred kilometers wide. I don't know how many purple crocodiles there are in it, but it seems that no crocodile has ever taken the initiative to come ashore to attack humans.
Thinking about it this way, when the dozens of people came back just now, these crocodiles arrived a dozen meters away from the shore and said they seemed to have given up the pursuit.
In order to test his idea, Cheng Yu walked to the shore and stared at the dozen crocodiles watching him.
Moved! The crocodiles moved, and the strange thing was that they only ran around sideways, but did not dare to approach Cheng Yu.
"Ha, that's interesting. What are you afraid of?" Seeing this strange phenomenon, Cheng Yu stood up and ran along the edge of the swamp.
"Brother, look, that kid has run away, should we catch up with him!" He said anxiously when he saw Cheng Yu suddenly running.
"Follow me quickly and see what this guy is doing?" The eldest brother also noticed Cheng Yu's strange behavior and followed him with about ten of his men hiding in the bushes.
Cheng Yu ran ten kilometers in one breath and then stopped, sitting on the shore and observing the water.
"Why don't you come out? Can't they see it?" Cheng Yu sat there for 20 minutes, but there was no movement on the water surface. Cheng Yu became anxious.
Bo~, Cheng Yu picked up a stone next to him and threw it into the swamp. He saw a few ripples in the water, but then there was nothing, and everything returned to calm.
"Hey! What's going on? I fed the crocodile with my body and it hasn't come out yet?" Cheng Yu thought in confusion as he looked at the calm mirror-like water surface.
Seeing these crocodiles coming out, Cheng Yu suddenly released his breath. Pah~pah~pah~, suddenly a dozen purple crocodile heads emerged from the swamp.
"So you feel my presence through my breath? So if I don't release my breath, I won't attract your attention?" Suddenly Cheng Yu discovered an important piece of information. These crocodiles sensed them through the breath of human monks. existing.
"But when flying, the breath on the body will be released no matter what? Even if you use some concealment skills, you can't completely hide the breath on the body. Moreover, these purple lotus flowers can improve the sense of smell of these crocodiles, and they will become very sensitive to a little odor. You can feel the breath, unless..." Seeing that these crocodiles were the same as the previous ones, they discovered the existence of Cheng Yu, but they kept running around and slapping the water more than ten meters away from the shore. Think about the time when the Kunlun monk passed his death Cheng Yu was suddenly delighted by the situation in the swamp and started searching everywhere.
According to Cheng Yu's reasoning, there must be something on the shore that they are taboo about, so they don't dare to go ashore. Just like what happened to the Kunlun monks, they must have this kind of thing on their bodies, so the crocodiles would not dare to come forward when they were more than ten meters away from them.
"Brother! What is that kid doing? Has he discovered us and is looking for us?" Baoya said nervously when he saw Cheng Yu looking around.
Bang~, "Brainless guy, we are so far away from him, how could he find us." The eldest brother slapped Ba Ya on the head angrily and cursed.
"Then...brother, what do you think he is looking for?" Baoya touched his head and asked in confusion.
"Who knows what this kid is doing? Looking at how happy he is, could it be..." The eldest brother shook his head in confusion at first, and then suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and he said happily.
"No way! I think it's more like he's lost something." Bao Bao said, touching the two Bao Teeth in front of him.
Bang~, the eldest brother slapped me again, "You're stupid and you're addicted, right? Have you ever seen someone so happy after losing something?"
"Brother, are you saying that what he is looking for can pass through this death swamp?" Jian Zui suddenly said.
"I don't know, maybe!" the eldest brother said, shaking his head.
"tnnd, what is it that makes these guys dare not go ashore? How about I catch a crocodile and try it? Damn it, it's already dark." Only then did Cheng Yu notice that it was already dark and there were lights in the distance. bonfire.
"It seems we can only continue the search tomorrow." Cheng Yu had no choice but to stop looking for that magical thing.
It was getting late. Although Cheng Yu could see at night, it was still inconvenient compared with daytime. In this case, he had clues about the matter anyway, so there was no rush.
Cheng Yu also found a big tree and sat on it, took out some wine and food, and ate it.
"Brother, let's take a rest, let's have something to eat too?" he said, smacking his teeth when he saw Cheng Yu hiding in the tree eating and drinking.
"Okay, but tonight you have to take turns observing him, and you have to notify me if there is any action." The eldest brother thought for a while and said. If that kid is really capable of finding a way through this death swamp, we can't take it lightly and let him run away alone.
"I got it, brother." Several people took out the food they prepared and started to devour it.
————————————————————————
In the middle of the night, Cheng Yu had no intention of meditating. First, there were many people here and he didn't dare to enter meditation easily. Second, I kept thinking about the strange phenomenon in the death swamp.
Whoosh~, Cheng Yu flew down from the tree and jumped to the shore of the swamp. Through the bright moon in the sky, he looked at the purple lotus flowers in a daze.
"What is the reason why the water, plants and creatures in this swamp are so strange, and what is it that prevents these crocodiles from coming ashore?" Cheng Yu thought curiously as he walked to the edge of the swamp and scooped up the purple water with his hands. .
"Such cold water." Feeling the cold water on his hand, Cheng Yu quickly threw the water away.
Um? Just when the water in Cheng Yu's hand splashed on some short grass growing on the edge of the swamp, something strange happened. The moonlight in the sky shone on the short grass and emitted a white light, and then the tips of these short grasses The small hail actually bloomed, and a white flower was revealed in each short grass.
"Huh? It stinks!" I didn't expect that such a white and beautiful flower would emit such a strange smell.
Wah~bah~wah, Cheng Yu suddenly saw several crocodiles emerging from the water, then flopping and swimming away.
"Hey! Is this..." Seeing this scene, Cheng Yu suddenly thought in surprise.
Cheng Yu stood up and released all his momentum. After a while, there was still no crocodile on the water. Cheng Yu looked at the flowers at his feet, then picked up the short grass and threw it towards the crocodile emerging from the water in the distance.
Pah~pah~pah~, just as Cheng Yu expected, the short grass fell to the surface of the water, and the crocodiles swam away one after another.
"Haha, it's you!" Finally finding the answer he wanted, Cheng Yu collected all the flowering short grass and sealed it with a ban, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stand the smell.
Cheng Yu was in a good mood after finding the answer. He turned around and prepared to go back to the tree to sleep. But after taking a few steps, he came back, and his aura burst out again. This time, there were no white flowers, and a dozen crocodiles suddenly appeared ten meters away from the edge of the swamp.
Cheng Yu pulled out a few short grasses without flowers and threw them down. The same situation happened. The crocodiles swam away quickly, but the distance they swam was not as far as the flowers.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Yu understood a truth. These short grasses also have this strange smell, but it is not so obvious. It is generally difficult for people to smell it. However, after these crocodiles have absorbed the fragrance of the purple lotus for a long time, their sense of smell has improved. They are much more sensitive than humans. They can feel this smell at a distance of more than ten meters, so these crocodiles did not dare to come forward when they flew more than ten meters away from the Kunlun monks.
But after the short grass blooms, the smell is obviously too strong. Even I can smell it easily, let alone these crocodiles with sensitive sense of smell. But why are they so afraid or disgusted with this smell?
Why! Forget it, why do you study this yourself? All things in the world are in harmony with each other, so it is not surprising that they are naturally taboo against this smell.
Cheng Yu didn't go into details and happily jumped up to the tree to sleep alone.
"Big brother, big brother, that kid has taken action." After Cheng Yu returned to the tree, Bao Ya quickly ran to his big brother and shook him awake.
"What? Has that kid taken action? Where is he?" Hearing Cheng Yu's action, the eldest brother got excited and quickly got up and asked.
"Right over there!" Bao Ya pointed to the place where Cheng Yu had been sitting just now.
"Huh? Where's that person?" The elder brother said anxiously as he looked in the direction Bao Ya pointed and didn't even see a ghost figure, thinking he hadn't woken up. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, but there was still no figure.
"That kid was sitting there for a while, and now he's back to sleep in the tree."
Bao Ya said honestly.
Snapped! "You idiot, didn't I tell you to come and wake me up whenever he makes any movement?" The elder brother became angry and slapped Ba Ya on the head.
"Big...brother, I...I thought he got up in the middle of the night to pee, so...so I didn't dare to call you, but I saw what he did!" Baoya touched his head and shrank his neck.
"Then what did he do?" The eldest brother asked curiously.
“He just sat there and threw a handful of weeds!”
"Is it that simple?" The eldest brother asked in confusion. He got up so late at night just to throw weeds into the water? Isn’t this a pain in the ass?
"Yes. It's absolutely true." Bao Ya nodded and said affirmatively.
"Weeds? Let's go and have a look." The eldest brother waved his hand and walked towards the place where Cheng Yu sat with his teeth.
"Brother, this is right here. He was just sitting here throwing weeds." When he came to the edge of the swamp, Baoya pointed at the piece of land and said.
The eldest brother stood aside and looked around. There was nothing strange. Then he looked in the water and saw a weed floating around the swamp. Then he pointed to the grass and said, "Is that that grass?"
"This... must be it!" Baoya also recognized the grass and said weakly.
Bang~, another slap, "You useless thing, go back!" The elder brother was angry and turned around and left.
"It is indeed this grass." Baoya touched his head and muttered quietly as he followed behind.
