Chapter Sixteen: The Road Encounter with the Evil Crocodile

  Thank you to readers: Nongcun Nongmingong and Guanrendada for their rewards. Both of them can leave a book review comment, I will arrange for enthusiastic readers to make an appearance in the story. Thank you very much!

  Hai Lao Cheng was built over 3,000 years ago, much earlier than the history of Mu Du Jiang Nan.

  Due to its proximity to the sea, a port was established, and after a thousand years of operation, the region became prosperous and populous. In addition to the main city, there is also a secondary city called Hailong City, which ranks among the top five in terms of strength within the entire Tian Ce Fu's sphere of influence.

  The main city has a Yuanying Zhenjun sitting in town, while the deputy city has a Jindan Dianfeng.

  Yuanying Zhenjun was a city founder who had lived for 4,800 years. With the Yuanying's 5,000-year lifespan, he had reached the end of his life, but as long as this old Yuanying Zhenjun was alive and could intimidate all directions, Hai Laocheng would still be the largest city in the southeastern part of Tian Ce Fu.

  The flying shuttle darted through the air, and Chen Yuan on the shuttle took in the scenery of Haolai City along the way.

  Compared with the sparse population of Kusatsu Castle, the numerous villages and manors in Hyakuri Village and Kaijō-jō's castle town seem somewhat crowded.

  Within a hundred li, there are at least three villages, and Chen Yuan has seen as many as ten villages crowded together, not a fortress, but with the population of one.

  In Hai Lao Cheng Feng Wu Zhi, this kind of several manors embracing each other to form a territory is called 'Zhuang Town'.

  Zhuang Town is governed by ten Zhuang masters, with the formation of each Zhuang connected to one another, jointly defending against the attacks of the demonic tide. Only places with a large population can do this, like Ruo Mu City, it's hard to achieve.

  However, the manor gathering together has both good and bad aspects. After all, people's hearts are separated by their stomachs, and governing with others can easily lead to conflicts. In Haoluo City, many towns have split due to uneven distribution of benefits, and even erupted in internal wars. So compared to Ping'an Rongmu City, Haoluo City is much more chaotic.

  The exotic scenery was attractive, but Chen Yuan didn't stay for a moment. His trip this time was to go to Rui Mu City and apply for the 'Hundred House Order' needed to build a villa.

  From Juluo Fort to Ruo Mu City, you have to cross countless great mountains, and the journey is far away. However, he now has a flying instrument, so naturally he takes the direct route. Passing through Heihe Road in the west of Hailecheng, then entering the territory of Ruomu City.

  At a speed of 8,000 li per day with the Wind Dart, Chen Yuan would need to fly non-stop for ten days to reach Ruo Mu City.

  Five days of continuous flight, mountains and rivers, strongholds and villas, don't know how many have flown over, people in the clouds, only the sound of the wind accompanies, it's said to be carefree and leisurely, but also a bit dull, if there were beauties accompanying, perhaps it would be even more wonderful.

  It was unknown when a fine rain started falling. Although the Huang Daxian grass on Chen Yuan's body had an unpleasant odor, it would be washed away by the rainwater once it came into contact with it.

  Along the way, he didn't encounter any ferocious beasts. Chen Yuan thought that in this vast expanse of high altitude, there weren't any beasts appearing, so he simply didn't bother to pay attention.

  Walking in the wind and rain, suddenly a scorching heat on the jade tablet of the chest.

  A jade tablet serves as a warning!

  Chen Yuan was startled and gathered his thoughts, turning his head to look back.

  He has just climbed over a peak of thousands of feet high, which has already inserted into the clouds and mist. Looking back is a piece of dark cloud, rolling like waves.

  While maintaining a steady flight, Chen Yuan was also on guard against the clouds.

  Suddenly, a shimmering silver scale emerged from among the dark clouds.

  A chill suddenly rose from the soles of Chen Yuan's feet and shot up to his forehead.

  What is the flying beast with antlers?

  Clouds follow the dragon, and in its own rear, it tracks itself. Even if it's not a dragon of that level, it must be a fierce crocodile.

  Even the weakest Jiao has fourth-level strength, and the scales that just appeared are not the whole body. The hidden body of this cloud is at least one zhang thick, as for how long it is...

  Chen Yuan didn't dare to guess, said nothing, and instantly stopped the spiritual energy of the flying shuttlecock. Without spiritual energy, the flying shuttlecock lost its power and fell from the sky.

  Whoosh!

  The piercing wind was beside his ear, but it still couldn't drown out Chen Yuan's heartbeat.

  Knock knock knock...

  Chen Yuan raised his head, and from the cloud layer above, a snake head with three fleshy tumors on its forehead and a long white beard had already pounced out of the clouds. The entire cloud and mist were dispersed by its body, revealing its majestic appearance that was over 100 meters long.

  "This damned Soul Summoning Grass smell! It's done me no good!"

  Seeing such a powerful fourth-level demon beast, Chen Yuan could only curse in his heart and pray that he wouldn't be chased.

  A heavenly escape, thrilling and breathtaking.

  The dragon's body plummeted straight down, its speed extremely fast. The powerful pressure of the fourth-level demon beast burst forth completely, and Chen Yuan was drenched in cold sweat. He had already taken out his latest refined strongest defensive array - the Vajra Guardian Array, ready to resist the evil dragon at any time.

  However, he really had no bottom in his heart. Whether it was a demon beast or a cultivator, as long as they formed a dan, their strength would change dramatically. The Vajra Guardian Array only defended and did not attack. Chen Yuan was confident that five or six foundation-building cultivators could hold off for a while, but the fourth level was really too frightening.

  The speed of the descent was constantly increasing, but the evil crocodile's speed was even faster, and its ferocious head was getting closer and closer, with its open mouth seeming to emit a pungent smell that hit the nose.

  "Damn it! The Golden Guard Formation can't be helped!" Chen Yuan had no other choice, he waved his hand and the formation was activated, then he flung it out.

  The formation in mid-air activated, instantly transforming into a gigantic gorilla, shining with golden light, looking incredibly powerful.

  "Roar!" With just one loud roar from the evil Jiaolong, it slapped its claws and shattered Chen Yuan's Guardian Beast that was forged from over 300 high-grade golden crystals into two pieces, turning into specks of golden light that dispersed into the sky.

  "Gulp! Unbelievable!" Chen Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, the Golden Guardian Array didn't even last for a moment, it was really disappointing and made him feel desperate. If he continued to fall, even if the evil crocodile couldn't catch up, he wouldn't be able to drive the flying arrow in time, and could only watch as the boat and its occupants smashed into smithereens.

  Other formations take too long to drive, and there is no place on the flying boat, let alone time.

  Chen Yuan was left with only Silver Snake Plucking Stars hand.

  Without hesitation, the silver snake plucks the stars.

  One hand reaches out, and the silver snake emerges from its lair.

  The silver snake floated in mid-air, its small body incomparable to the evil crocodile's, but with one hiss of its tongue, it emitted a completely different kind of majesty.

  "Roar!" In mid-air, the evil python's body suddenly stopped, twisted its body and coiled into a ball, surprisingly staring at the silver snake with trepidation, not daring to make another move.

  "Get out of here quickly!"

  Chen Yuan immediately urged on the imperial wind boat, rushing straight towards a forest below.

  Hiss...

  Low-flying strong start, even if the spirit is crazy, it's still impossible to get rid of the terrible inertia.

  Chen Yuan and the Wind Dart descended at an angle, like an arrow, knocking down several hundred-year-old trees. The dart's head was buried in the ground, its front end unknown how badly damaged, while Chen Yuan himself was flung out, crashing into a giant tree with a trunk as thick as three men could hug.

  Boom!

  Chen Yuan was stunned and dizzy from the fall, if not for his Yin Yang cultivation, his body would be much weaker than an average cultivator's, and this fall alone might have been enough to knock him unconscious.

  Chen Yuan struggled to get up, swaying unsteadily. Without saying a word, he directly took out two large doses of Huang Da Xian Cao medicine from his pouch and splashed it onto himself. Then, he quickly made a hand seal to retrieve the damaged Wind Chasing Dart. Next, without hesitation, he rushed towards the small forest.

  The silver snake in the air disappeared, and the evil python found out that it had been fooled. Suddenly, it was furious, with dark thunderbolts wrapped around its body, and in an instant, a hundred bolts of lightning struck the ground.

  Rumble! Rumble!

  Lightning struck, and the earth was scorched. A forest was destroyed, but amidst the devastation, that delicious monk was nowhere to be seen.

  The evil dragon circled in the sky above the forest, let out a few crazy roars, but couldn't find any trace of Chen Yuan's shadow, and flew back to the clouds, disappearing from sight.

  As it flew away, a wave of yellow earth was thrown up on the ground, and Chen Yuan poked his head out from the middle like a groundhog, letting out a long sigh after surviving the disaster.

  "Am I going to stink for the rest of my life?" Chen Yuan sniffed his own odor, furrowing his brow in self-mockery.

  Crawled out of the pit. Just as he was about to determine the direction and escape, the jade slab was scorching hot again with another message.

  Chen Yuan raised his head and looked up, only to see the clouds and fog churning, and that evil python was actually hiding in it.

  "Damn it!" Chen Yuan cursed loudly and immediately took off running, without caring about direction, just focusing on escaping quickly.

  The evil dragon once again charged into the sky and dived down, opening its mouth to spew out a torrent of lightning.

  In this unknown small forest, it was bombed everywhere with pits and holes, some trees were struck by lightning and burned, and flames rose.

  Run! Run! Run!

  The evil python was circling in the air like an eagle, while Chen Yuan was a little chick without its mother's protection, relying only on the terrain to hide his position.

  As soon as Chen Yuan lost his cover, the evil jiao would directly kill him like a withered tree. Facing this fourth-level demon beast, Chen Yuan had no power to resist except to escape.

  Unbeknownst to him, the area behind him had turned into a sea of flames, with a malevolent aura hovering above. A hundred-meter-long body exuded an intimidating presence, its fierce eyes ceaselessly scanning for any sign of Chen Yuan. The moment it detected him, it would swoop down like a bolt of lightning.

  A game of cat and mouse had been played out across this hundred-mile stretch of forest.

  But as soon as he left the forest, Chen Yuan was met with despair.

  Cliffs, continuous cliffs for hundreds of miles.

  Looking down, it's unknown how many zhang high it is.

  "Jumping down is a thread of life, waiting for the evil crocodile to come and decide on no life."

  Chen Yuan swallowed his saliva and turned back to see the fierce alligator charging towards him crazily.

  No longer hesitating, he leaped forward.

  Life and death are predestined!

  The body falls, the wind rushes past the ears, the rapid descent, saying no fear is a lie, in an instant, countless scenes emerge in the mind, it's a nostalgia for life...
