Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

A winged crocodile? Zhang Yuanjing pondered this, certain he had never heard of such a demonic beast. But since there was only one, there was no need to be afraid.

He said, "Brother Ape, keep an eye on that patch of ground. If that demonic beast comes out, you go up and stop it. Kill it if you can, and if you can't, just entangle it."

Ape Thirteen nodded vigorously, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast stopped two miles away from the golden scale fruit grove, staring at the hollow with its green eyes, occasionally making "squeak squeak" sounds.

Zhang Yuanjing did not slow down, and with a flash of his sword, he arrived at a golden scale fruit tree. Each golden scale fruit tree had about fifty or sixty fruits, but most of them were unripe, and only a few, two or three, were truly golden.

Zhang Yuanjing stopped his flying sword, reached out, and plucked a golden fruit hidden in the branches.

As he was about to pick the second one, a black shadow suddenly shot out from the ground below, as fast as lightning, flying towards him.

He had been prepared for this, and with a wave of his hand, a wall of earth blocked his side. The black shadow was moving too fast and couldn't stop in time, crashing head-on into the earth wall.

"Bang!" The earth wall shook slightly, but remained intact. The demonic beast, however, was a little dizzy and fell headfirst to the ground.

Zhang Yuanjing couldn't help but find it amusing. This beast probably relied on its speed in normal times, thinking it could be invincible with it, but it suffered a big loss right from the start.

At this moment, Ape Thirteen rushed over, somewhat annoyed, and smashed his Mixed Sky Cudgel at the demonic beast.

This beast was indeed as the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast had said. Its head and mouth resembled a crocodile, its body was covered in scales, and its tail was somewhat short, but it had feathers on it. On the dorsal side of its torso, there was a pair of thin, cicada-wing-like fleshy wings, which were dark brown like the scales, making them difficult to spot if one didn't look closely. Its size was similar to that of an ordinary wolf, about four or five feet long.

The demonic beast quickly regained consciousness, and with a slight flap of its wings, it dodged Ape Thirteen's cudgel. Ignoring him, it continued to attack Zhang Yuanjing.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast suddenly squeaked urgently.

Zhang Yuanjing's heart tightened, remembering what Ape Twelve had said in the past, that the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast could predict danger. Its unusual cry at this time was probably a warning.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanjing twisted the flying sword under his feet, dodging to the side and rear, leaving a wall of earth behind him.

Just at this moment, a piercing, short cry entered his ears. Zhang Yuanjing felt a pain in his soul, his vision went dark, and the flying sword under his feet almost went out of control.

In this critical situation, he didn't have time to release his divine sense to check his surroundings, and quickly protected himself with the Source Stone. He wielded the Heavy Earth Art Sword, and a whirlwind of sand swept out from his body as the center.

In his haste, something with a fishy stench slammed heavily against the stone armor, and then was caught in the whirlwind of sand, separating from him.

Zhang Yuanjing's soul recovered, and he was unharmed, only losing his sense of his surroundings for the moment the cry entered his ears.

At this time, he expanded his divine sense and saw that the demonic beast was trapped in the whirlwind of sand, struggling back and forth, unable to escape.

He carefully examined it and found that this beast's cultivation was not high, only at the mid-stage of the Demonic Core realm, but its innate ability was really strange, actually interfering with the soul.

Although it didn't damage his soul, it was hard to say that this beast didn't have other, more powerful means. Dealing with this kind of demonic beast required extreme caution.

He scanned his storage bracelet, pondered for a moment, and took out a middle-grade, low-rank Purified Water Talisman. This talisman was usually used to defend against poisonous gas, poisonous saliva, and other filthy things, but it also had some effect in resisting sonic attacks.

After waiting for a few breaths, seeing that the demonic beast was not very intelligent and had not discovered the weak point of the whirlwind of sand, he immediately used the Flying Stone Technique, condensing hundreds of stones about a foot in size, and threw them at the demonic beast from above the whirlwind of sand.

The demonic beast's five senses became dull due to the interference of the sand, and its torso was hit seventeen or eighteen times in an instant, but its scales were extremely hard and were not damaged. However, the pair of fleshy wings were a bloody mess. After its tail was hit, its feathers were also scattered.

It roared angrily a few times, and finally discovered the exit of the whirlwind of sand formation. It immediately spread its wings and rushed upwards, flying out crookedly.

However, before it could get far, its wings collapsed and its whole body fell straight down like a stone, smashing into the mud.

Without waiting for Zhang Yuanjing to remind him, the impatient Ape Thirteen strode out and smashed down with his cudgel.

"Boom!"

Mud splattered everywhere, and the Mixed Sky Cudgel smashed a ten-foot square pit in the ground, but the demonic beast was nowhere to be seen. It had run away by burrowing into the ground.

Zhang Yuanjing said, "Brother Ape, go guard the three herbs in that hollow."

He then turned to the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast, which had moved to a range of half a mile, and said, "Suanni Beast, keep an eye on the movements of that demonic beast and remind Brother Ape in time."

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast nodded and made two "squeak" sounds, its pair of green eyes calmly looking around the hollow.

Zhang Yuanjing quickly picked the ripe golden scale fruits, and soon picked all the golden fruits from more than a dozen trees.

At this time, many Spirit Awakening realm demonic beasts gradually approached this place from the valley. They looked greedily and somewhat fearfully at the fruits on the golden scale fruit trees, and their gazes towards the mature golden fruits in Zhang Yuanjing's hands were even more full of desire.

These fruits were undoubtedly a great tonic for the Spirit Awakening realm demonic beasts, and could even help them break through bottlenecks and become more powerful.

However, since they had entered the Spirit Awakening realm, they had a certain amount of intelligence, and none of them would rush up to die and pave the way for the demonic beasts behind them.

Seeing that Zhang Yuanjing had picked all the ripe fruits, the beasts became restless, some roaring angrily, and some slowly moving forward, trying to put pressure on Zhang Yuanjing.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast was disturbed by these demonic beasts and also began to approach the golden scale fruit tree.

Zhang Yuanjing ignored these low-level demonic beasts, and instead used all his soul power to probe the ground with his divine sense. Within a mile, a hundred feet deep, there was no trace of the demonic beast.

However, this did not mean that the beast had left. Bao Xueyang's blood-colored insect beast could use the power of the earth to hide its body and avoid divine sense. This crocodile beast might not have this kind of innate ability.

In the past, he had always been the one hiding in the ground, avoiding the eyes and ears of the cultivators above. This time, the situation was reversed, making him quite uncomfortable.

When a cultivator uses their divine sense to check the situation in the ground, they can't cover a wide area if they want to go deep, and they can't go deep if they want to cover a wide area, which is indeed a bit laborious.

He pressed the flying sword, slowly landing on the side of the hollow, and looked at the three Butterfly Blue plants.

These three Butterfly Blue plants were not yet mature. Butterfly Blue was a Profound-grade, third-rank spiritual herb, which required four hundred years to mature.

A mature Butterfly Blue was deep blue, sparkling like crystal, and very dazzling. These three spiritual herbs were still light blue, and the oldest would not exceed three hundred years.

However, for him, this was not a problem.

He glanced at the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast, seeing its head shaking left and right, but there was no abnormal reaction. He then took out the Spirit Restraining Hoe and dug down at the most vigorous spiritual herb.
