"kill!"
Just then, Song Qingyun shouted, his figure flashed, he reached out and grabbed the water crocodile beast's tail, and swung his arms forcefully.
boom!
The water crocodile beast's attack was abruptly halted. Its body became somewhat out of control, and it was flung away, crashing heavily into the waterweed pool before rolling over and getting up.
"If you don't come to help us, we'll be eaten by the water crocodile beast."
Song Qingyun shouted loudly.
In less than a minute, the Water Crocodile Beast had left the three of them in a sorry state. Zhou Yi was almost injured by the Water Crocodile Beast. At this moment, Song Qingyun was no longer as arrogant as before, and he didn't care about saving face. He quickly called Lin Xiaofei and the others for help.
"Get out of the way!"
Just then, Zhao Weida, who was standing nearby, was startled and quickly shouted something.
At the same time, Song Qingyun also saw the water crocodile beast rushing towards him from the side at an astonishing speed, like a water snake swimming at top speed, about to pounce on him.
"Oops."
Song Qingyun quickly turned around, brandishing his long sword, intending to slash at the creature. But the moment he turned, he saw the water crocodile beast suddenly leap up and pounce on him.
"Crouch down!"
Immediately afterwards, Song Qingyun heard a familiar voice behind him and quickly crouched down. He then heard a whooshing sound from above.
A long sword flew past his head with lightning speed.
puff!
The longsword flew into the mouth of the water crocodile beast, piercing its internal organs and disappearing completely.
The water crocodile beast, which was pouncing, froze in mid-air. Its body was pushed by the sword, its body shifted, rolled, and fell into the waterweed pool with a thud. It let out a miserable cry, struggled a few times, and then died.
Lin Xiaofei leaped forward, his feet moving with incredible speed, stepping into the waterweed-filled pool and rushing towards the longsword that was about to fall into the water.
He quickly grabbed the longsword that had killed the water crocodile beast, then pushed it forward. With a flash of light, the longsword shot out like a sharp arrow.
The longsword flew above the waterweed pool, piercing towards the waterweeds in the distance.
The water bream, which was laying eggs hidden among the aquatic plants, suddenly sensed danger approaching. It darted away, seemingly trying to swim into the aquatic plants on its left.
Although the Water Frost Fish swims very fast, it is not as fast as the Longsword Frost.
puff!
The longsword shot into the water plants, piercing the body of the Water Frost Fish. Blood gushed out, seeping into the water and staining it red. The Water Frost Fish flicked its tail several times before finally becoming still.
Stepping into the shallow water at the edge of the pool, Lin Xiaofei quickly walked over to the dead Shui Hanyu and picked up his longsword from the shallow water among the water plants.
"this......"
Song Qingyun looked on in surprise, finding it hard to believe.
It should be noted that the Water Crocodile Beast was slightly stronger than him, possessing the power of the early stage of the Flowing Realm. He had personally experienced the Water Crocodile Beast's strength firsthand.
Moreover, he had Zhou Yidian and Zhao Weida by his side, meaning the three of them attacked the Water Crocodile Beast together, but they were still unable to defeat it.
Now, Lin Xiaofei simply threw his longsword to kill the Water Crocodile Beast and also shot down the Water Frost Fish hiding in the distant water plants.
At this moment, he realized that Lin Xiaofei's strength was definitely above his own.
Thinking back to when Lin Xiaofei had held a sword to his neck, Song Qingyun felt resentful, believing that he had only reacted a step too slowly and that Lin Xiaofei had seized the initiative. Now, thinking about it again, Song Qingyun felt that his actions had been somewhat childish.
At this moment, seeing the bright red stain in the shallow water, the carcass of the water crocodile beast was floating in the water, bleeding profusely. The area of the shallow water that was stained red was gradually expanding. Ma Sandao, Wang Wu, Zhou Yidian, and Zhao Weida were all dumbfounded.
Lin Xiaofei and the others were all inner disciples, and their strength should be roughly the same. However, the other party's strength was far greater than theirs, which surprised them all.
They were questioning whether Lin Xiaofei possessed the strength of an early-stage master.
"You guys deal with this water crocodile beast and the water frigid fish, then take them back."
Lin Xiaofei glanced at the scene, chuckled inwardly, and said something casually.
Seeing their surprised expressions was exactly what he wanted. This was the only way to establish himself as their leader; otherwise, some people would be dissatisfied.
Then, Lin Xiaofei walked towards the shallow water and deep water plants.
He projected his spiritual energy and sensed a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy deep within the water plants. Intrigued, he went over to investigate.
To increase their strength, mythical beasts typically consume ancient medicinal herbs that grow deep in the mountains, herbs containing spiritual energy, or the flesh and blood of other mythical beasts.
However, in the mountains of Hongshan Shuiwan, the air is filled with a thin layer of spiritual energy, making it difficult for natural spiritual herbs and trees to grow.
Within these shallow water plants, there were faint fluctuations of spiritual energy. Lin Xiaofei ventured into the depths of the water plants and wandered around for a while.
Before long, Lin Xiaofei found more than ten herbs, three of which contained a faint spiritual energy. He planted them directly in the space bead, and still held five herbs in his hand.
"Water Shade Grass and Water Beard Flower are both very good herbs. Each plant is worth fifteen taels of silver. There are five plants in total, which is seventy-five taels of silver. Junior Brother Lin is really lucky."
Wang Wu, a seasoned veteran, immediately recognized the several herbs in Lin Xiaofei's hand; each one was a precious herb.
He knew that there were no herbs for the group of them, so he didn't say anything more.
"You recognized me at a glance, you have a good eye."
These five herbs, one for each of you, so that everyone who sees them gets one.
Lin Xiaofei smiled and handed the five herbs to Wang Wu.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Lin."
Wang Wu was overjoyed and quickly thanked them, then distributed a herb to each of the other people.
The other four also had smiles on their faces. They walked along the edge of the pool and hadn't expected that they would not only hunt a water frigid fish but also kill a water crocodile beast and obtain a herb worth fifteen taels of silver. How could they not be happy?
"Junior Brother Lin, you not only have excellent martial arts skills, but you are also so loyal. I really admire you. From now on, when we do missions together, I will follow your orders."
Song Qingyun said with a smile.
Realizing that Lin Xiaofei possessed astonishing martial arts skills and was stronger than him, and that Lin Xiaofei had even shared the benefits he had received with him, he was completely convinced of Lin Xiaofei's abilities.
"Junior Brother Lin, so are we."
Zhou Yidian and Zhao Weida were lifting the carcass of the water crocodile beast when they saw Song Qingyun speak, so they quickly joined in.
"let's go!"
Nodding, Lin Xiaofei said something and then returned along the bank of the pool.
Then, Wang Wu and Ma Sandao helped lift the carcass of the water crocodile beast, and the group headed towards the mission location.
After returning to the small courtyard at the mission location, Lin Xiaofei entered the spatial bead, looked at the three low-level spiritual herbs that had obviously been bitten off by the strange beasts, and thought for a moment.
The water crocodile beast he killed was a young water crocodile beast, whose strength was at most at the peak of the ordinary level, but it displayed the strength of a mid-level martial artist. It must have eaten spiritual herbs, which evolved its bloodline and increased its power.
"These three low-grade spiritual herbs are very similar to the descriptions in the Spiritual Herb Chronicle."
I never expected that low-grade spiritual herbs would appear in the mountains of Red Mountain Bay.
Lin Xiaofei thought to himself.
