Chapter 12 - Three Tailed Mud CrocodilesAt this moment, Li Mu was in a swamp, and it was a quagmire. He had fallen from the sky and coincidentally fell there, escaping death.
"Roar …"
Not waiting for Li Mu to catch his breath, an ear-piercing scream suddenly came from behind him. At the same time, Li Mu smelled a fishy stench that made him want to vomit. His expression changed as he turned around to look at the source of the voice.
The moment Li Mu turned his head around, his expression changed greatly. He saw a gigantic giant crocodile that was seventeen to eighteen meters long, standing not ten meters away from him.
The giant crocodile stared at Li Mu with its mouth wide open. It had three tails and bared fangs, making it look extremely sinister. The stench was coming from its mouth.
It was unknown if it was because the aura around Li Mu"s body was not weak and the giant crocodile seemed to be somewhat afraid, so it did not act rashly.
"You"re still smiling even though you"re so close to us, why didn"t you notice!"Li Mu did not dare to move rashly under the gaze of the giant crocodile.
"My apologies, aren"t I getting too excited from trying to escape with so much effort!"
Luan Tian was a little embarra.s.sed, but facing this giant crocodile that suddenly appeared, he became serious.
"What kind of background does this d.a.m.n thing have? It"s actually so huge!"Li Mu swallowed his saliva, staring at the giant crocodile, he did not dare move.
"Three Tailed Mud Crocodile, judging from its aura, it should have already reached the third level. This beast has yet to awaken its intelligence, so its intelligence is not high. It only acts based on instinct."He was well-informed and immediately told the history of the three tailed giant crocodile.
"Level Three demon beast? That is not equivalent to a Xiantian realm martial artist! "Li Mu"s face was grave. He naturally understood the humans in the boundless universe were not the only ones who could use the energy of heaven and earth to cultivate. The demons were also a large group of people.
However, their cultivation speed was extremely slow, unless they reached the level of taking human form and awakening their spiritual wisdom, otherwise, it would be very difficult to quickly advance to the next level. Of course, if they were to accidentally consume some heavenly materials, then their strength would increase by leaps and bounds."Mu Xiaozi, with your current strength, you have a 50% chance of winning against the Three Tailed Mud Crocodile. Don"t look like you are about to face a strong enemy, even if you can"t beat you, the river crossing step is still there, escaping is not a problem!"
Don"t be afraid, although Level Three demon beast is equivalent to an Innate Ranker, with your current strength, you can even fight against an average Innate Ranker. Moreover, this type of beast has very low intelligence and is very easy to deal with.
Luan Tian could not help but laugh when he saw Li Mu"s nervous look."Aren"t we lacking combat experience against humans? No, it"s because we lack combat experience when fighting demon beasts."
started to feel a little embarra.s.sed after hearing what Huntian said. He was a warrior at the Postnatal realm who cultivated in Heaven Grade Technique after all, so it was indeed a little unreasonable for him to see a Level Three demon beast in such a state.
Being told that Li Mu"s confidence was boosted, he immediately jumped to the sh.o.r.e, and at the same time, pulled Zhan Qianqiu out from his waist.
Li Mu did not want to get entangled with his opponent in the mud pit. After all, that was his opponent"s territory."Roar!"
Seeing Li Mu leap onto the sh.o.r.e, the Three-tailed giant crocodile roared, and moved its four limbs swiftly like the wind, pouncing straight towards Li Mu.
Li Mu used the river crossing step, his entire person transforming into a ray of shadow, and in a flash, he appeared on the back of the giant crocodile.
When he arrived at the back of the giant crocodile, Li Mu"s speed was extremely fast.How sharp was Zhan Qianqiu, without the slightest bit of delay, he directly pierced into the giant crocodile"s back, causing fresh blood to flow from the back of the giant crocodile.
Seeing its target suddenly disappear, the giant crocodile was first stunned, then it felt pain on its back, immediately becoming furious, it did not expect Li Mu"s speed to be so fast, in a blink of an eye he had already landed on its back and injured it.
The giant crocodile roared in anger, and its three whip-like huge tails fiercely whipped towards Li Mu, who was on its back."Watch out for his tail!"
He reminded Lu Tian that in his opinion, although Level Three demon beast had a low IQ, their attack power was terrifying. Otherwise, they wouldn"t be standing shoulder to shoulder with Innate Rankers.
Li Mu had long noticed that the opponent"s three tails were whipping towards him. Ever since he had reached the middle Lesser Heaven stage, his spiritual sense had become sharper, and although he could not release his spiritual sense, he was still able to sense the situation at a close distance.
Seeing that the three huge tails were coming straight at him, Li Mu used the river crossing step once again. With a flash, he jumped down the giant crocodile"s back, and the three huge tails of the giant crocodile struck nothing."This dagger is really sharp. Even I can"t tell the origin of the weird material, but it easily penetrated the armor of these three tailed mud crocodiles. It"s a pity that this little bit of damage isn"t very effective against large, coa.r.s.e skinned, and thick skinned demon beasts!"
Luan Tian said regretfully.
Hearing this, Li Mu did not reply. In these past four years, he had asked about Zhan Qianqiu"s Dagger many times, but when it came to such an exceptionally sharp dagger, the knowledgeable and knowledgeable Luan Tian actually did not know its origin. This made Li Mu sigh for a long time.
"Luan Tian, where is his weakness?"Seeing that the three-tailed giant crocodile was about to charge over again, Li Mu asked anxiously.
"Weakness?" The weakness of most demon beasts is their head and heart. However, this beast is huge, so if you want to cut off its head in one blow, it"s impossible. It"s better to just try attacking its abdomen.
Luan Tian suggested."Are you joking? This is a crawling demon beast, and I don"t even know how to escape. How can I attack its abdomen?"
Li Mu rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Now you have to think! "It"s over, it"s time for me to go back and recuperate. You can decide for yourself. If you can"t do it, then run, it"s still better than dying here …"
After he said this, Luan Tian became silent.
"This unreliable fellow!"Li Mu could not help but curse silently.
"Roar …!"
The Three Tailed Mud Crocodile roared as it raised its three tails and charged towards Li Mu once again.
Li Mu was helpless, he could not fight, and could only jump onto a nearby tree.
"Bam!"
Seeing Li Mu jump onto a tree, the giant crocodile"s three tails forcefully whipped and struck the tree trunk. The tree trunk that was as thick as an adult"s thigh, instantly snapped into two pieces."d.a.m.n it!"
Li Mu leapt off the tree trunk that was snapped, and landed on another tree.
The giant crocodile was unwilling to let go and continued to attack. With a sweep of its three tails, it shattered the tree Li Mu stood on."Do you really have to run away!?"
Li Mu kept changing his position, he did not dare stop, the opponent was only injured by his dagger, he did not believe that he would only be injured by his opponent"s Giant Tail Attack.Although his body was strong, he did not have the confidence to take a strike from the Level Three demon beast. If he was not careful, it was possible for his bones to break, and he might even die in the crocodile"s stomach.
Unintentionally, Li Mu caught a glimpse of the mud pit from the corner of his eyes, and a bold idea appeared in his mind.
"Hehe, let"s see if you"re still going to die!"Jumping down from a tree that was snapped at the waist by a giant crocodile, Li Mu had a cold smile on his face as he quickly rushed towards the quagmire. With just a few flashes, he jumped in yet again.
Seeing that Li Mu was even more ferocious than before, the giant crocodile moved its four claws and quickly chased after him.
Li Mu who had entered the pit suddenly sank down, his entire body sinking down.Seeing that, the Three Tailed Mud Crocodile"s huge body pushed its way through the quagmire, wanting to force Li Mu out of the quagmire.
"Roar …!"Suddenly, the giant crocodile inside the quagmire let out a tragic roar, its sound resonating out for miles around.
At the same time, a large amount of fresh blood spurted out of the quagmire. The giant crocodile twitched a few times and then became quiet, devoid of any signs of life.
"Gudong!"
Not long after, Li Mu appeared from the side of the quagmire and looked at the motionless giant crocodile s. Li Mu heaved a sigh of relief as he took the opportunity to enter the quagmire and used Zhan Qianqiu to cut open their bellies.With its stomach ripped open, no matter how powerful the life force of the three-tailed mud crocodile was, it was difficult for it to escape death. In the end, its corpse was left lying there.
Climbing out of the quagmire, Li Mu panted heavily. This was the first time he was fighting a demon beast to the death, and after this battle, he had a rough understanding of the power of a demon beast. Although he won in the end, it took him a lot of energy.
After meditating on the sh.o.r.e for a while, Li Mu regained his energy. He looked around carefully and realised that he was in a vast valley.The valley was at the bottom of Sunset Peak, which was not too far away from Sunset City. Therefore, what Li Mu needed to do now was to find a way out of this place and leave.
"That"s right! Herba Corydalis Sinensis! How could I forget about that! "
Li Mu suddenly remembered that when he left the cave, he brought along a large bundle of Herba Corydalis Sinensis with him.Not long after, Li Mu stopped at a cliff, where Herba Corydalis Sinensis s that he had dropped were hanging, and at their very bottom, lay a bundle of Herba Corydalis Sinensis s.
"Fortunately, it"s not too far away. Otherwise, I might not be able to find it."Carrying the Herba Corydalis Sinensis on his back, Li Mu pulled forcefully on it again, ripping it apart in midair.
Although the Great Brahma Art Slate had already been destroyed by him, there were still a lot of Herba Corydalis Sinensis in there. Although Herba Corydalis Sinensis were not as rare as the Mysterious Fire Immortal Lotus, they were still rare and precious herbs, so he naturally did not want to leave them to others.
After doing all this, Li Mu"s mood was great, he found a direction to walk in, and left alone.
Less than half a day later, Li Mu was sitting under a large tree. A firewood was set up on the ground and he was roasting a snake meat that was as thick as an adult"s arm.
The golden colored snake meat was emitting an enticing fragrance, who had not eaten anything for four years was drooling while looking at it."I have a great appet.i.te. It"s great to be alive."
Li Mu slowly tore off a piece of golden snake meat and bit down, disregarding the heat.
"It"s a pity that I couldn"t find any clean water. Otherwise, drinking it would be a great enjoyment in my life!"Li Mu muttered to himself. After he ate heartily, he cut off a piece of the Herba Corydalis Sinensis and opened his mouth to suck it.
After taking the Herba Corydalis Sinensis juice for so many years, he had gotten used to it.Only after eating for less than an hour did Li Chong reluctantly stand up and continue searching for a way out.
Walking in the wilderness of the mountains, Li Mu"s concentration was high, he did not want to meet any more beasts, and fight to the death.
As he was walking, Li Mu"s face revealed joy, he heard the sound of flowing water not far away, since his cultivation had broken through into the Lesser Heaven stage, his senses had become extremely sensitive, since he heard the sound of flowing water, he was sure that there was water nearby.
Seeing that his entire body was covered in mud and as dirty as it could get, Li Mu quickly ran in the direction of the sound of the flowing water.
After running for less than one kilometer, a clear pool appeared in front of Li Mu"s eyes.
The area of the pool was not big, only about twenty meters in length and width. In the center of the pool was a large area of lotus leaves and lotuses."Water, there"s water!"
Li Mu was overjoyed, and without bothering to take off his dirty clothes, he dived into the lake.
