Chapter 424 Spotted Jiao


Chapter 424 Spotted Jiao

"Such a smooth road..." Chen Ziyan noticed something was wrong as soon as he turned around.

The shiny road surface looks as if it has been specially polished, and is obviously not the product of artificial construction.

After all, no one would go out of their way to polish a road. That would be like adding unnecessary fuss.

"This is probably caused by the friction of some kind of beast over the years...such as a python or something like that." Shirley Yang paused slightly after speaking, with some uncertainty in her tone.

She thought it was most likely a python, but if that were the case, the diameter of this python would be a bit scary.

It is precisely because of this that Shirley Yang dare not speak too fully.

Hu Bayi also frowned. The situation in front of him reminded him of the prehistoric salamander he had encountered in the ice crevices of Kunlun Mountain.

He knew that besides pythons, the second most suspected trace of such traces was amphibious creatures. In addition, this place was also located in the Kunlun region, so it was difficult not to remind him of his past encounters.

Crash——

At this moment, there was a noise in the mountains and forests not far away, which successfully diverted everyone's attention.

There was a very clear sound of leaves and gravel rubbing against each other. It sounded like some kind of huge creature was moving rapidly through the forest.

After Chen Ziyan and the others analyzed these from the noise, they no longer thought about guessing the source of the 'road' in front of them, and began to scan the surroundings quickly, trying to find a temporary shelter. .

They are very clear about the situation they are in. There is not even a weed here, and it is obviously part of the 'road'.

No matter what comes out of the woods later, standing here will bear the brunt of it. It will definitely be enough for them to drink a pot, so the first priority now is to hide first.

"Let's get to this rock."

Chen Ziyan's eyes quickly locked on a dark green rock next to him.

Compared with the low rocks around it, this giant rock with an unusual color stands out from the crowd. It is more than ten meters high, which is presumably enough to avoid the creatures in the forest.

Although the surface of the giant rock is very smooth and it takes some effort to climb up, it is not too difficult for Chen Ziyan and the others. With the help of mountaineering picks and other tools, the group quickly climbed up Climb away.

Time was tight, so everyone started taking action at the same time. Fortunately, the giant rock was big enough, otherwise it would not have been possible.

The most eye-catching ones were Shirley Yang and Chen Wenjin. One of them used the Flying Tiger Claw and the other used the Nine-claw Hook. They had surpassed the others in a blink of an eye and landed on a natural concave platform in the middle of the giant rock within a few steps. superior.

When the two women stood firm and did not patronize themselves, they immediately lowered the rope to meet the others. Thanks to their help, everyone was able to reach the stone platform before the creature came out of the forest.

Plop——

Before everyone could stand firm on the giant rock, a huge figure had already sprung out of the forest at an extremely fast speed, like a speeding off-road vehicle. A car rushed past them, and with a violent splash into the water, it plunged into the lake in front of them.

The speed of this creature was far beyond the imagination of Chen Ziyan and others. In addition, they were not very focused, so they could only barely see a blurry outline. But what everyone can be sure of is that this creature Not the most likely snake creature, but a strange amphibian.

Following the mysterious creature, everyone looked into the lake. Fortunately, the water was clear enough, and they could see the specific situation in the water from a high place.

As the mysterious amphibian entered the water, all kinds of fish in the lake exploded in an instant, whether it was the white bearded fish with the largest number, or the red-scaled schizothorax mixed in, The long-tailed blackfin fish seemed to be greatly frightened and fled towards the nearest cave.

It was also at this time that Chen Ziyan and the others noticed that the bottom of the lake was densely covered with weathered caves of various sizes. It would be no exaggeration to say that it was riddled with holes. It was a strange wind-eroded lake.

But this is not what attracts everyone the most. At this moment, they are all looking intently at the creature that is writhing wantonly in the chaotic school of fish.

It was a strange creature that was more than six meters long, with four short legs and black and white markings all over its body. It looked like a monitor lizard or a crocodile, but it was neither of them.

This strange creature seemed to be an overlord in the water, biting the fleeing fish wantonly. For a while, the lake was filled with broken fish carcasses, and the scene was filled with cruelty.

"Striped Jiao!"

Looking carefully at the raging creatures in the water, long-lasting memories came to mind, causing Hu Bayi to scream out in surprise.

Wang Kaixuan heard this and asked quickly: "Old Hu, do you know this thing in the water?"

Hu Ba nodded and said: "I saw it once, and it was me When we were in the Kunlun Mountains, the brother troops who were working on the Maida Bucha Glacier once dug out the carcass of this beast in the ice. We even rushed to visit it. This thing is amazing. It is better than the Dragon King. The crocodile is also ferocious, and its skin is so thick that even the guns in our hands may not be able to do anything to it.”

At the end of the sentence, Hu Bayi's tone showed a touch of joy.

Thanks to their quick reaction, they got on the rock before this thing came out, otherwise they would definitely be stretched thin.

After all, this is a typical amphibious creature. Looking at the speed at which it rushes over, you can tell that this striped dragon is also a dominant presence on land.

After hearing Hu Bayi's words, the others all looked at the striped dragon tossed in the water and nodded secretly.

You don’t even need to try it, you can tell just by looking at it how terrifying it is.

"I wonder how many of these things there are in this place?" Black Glasses looked back at the peaceful forest behind him, then looked at the blue-robed Tibetan and said.

This is obviously not talking to myself, but asking him.

But it is understandable. After all, the blue-robed Tibetan is the only 'local' present and is most familiar with the situation in the Kunlun area. Who else can he ask about this kind of thing?

The blue-robed Tibetan naturally understood the meaning of black glasses. His expression was very stern at the moment. After looking at the spotted dragons in the water, he said:

"Even if there are some, they will not be in quantity. Too many. The number of descendants of this type of ancient god has always been limited. There are usually only two in an area."

They, Kangbalo, have been rooted in Kunlun for so many years, so it’s natural that they don’t know the striped dragon.

"Descendant of the Ancient God?" Chen Ziyan looked at him in confusion.

He admitted that the striped dragon is very strong. Even now, he is not sure that he can defeat it head-on, but this level is far from being a descendant of an ancient god.

In his impression, the benchmark for the descendants of the ancient gods has always been Baoxianghua. The real power of the ancient gods is never their powerful bodies, but the unique power they control, just like the imaginary space of the snake god.

"That's right." The blue-robed Tibetan nodded, probably seeing Chen Ziyan's confusion. He explained: "There are many creatures like this in the Kunlun Mountains, such as the white-bearded fish we just saw and this Only the striped dragon, and the demon wolves you mentioned."

"This is a big difference." Wang Kaixuan expressed his sense of existence at the right time.

Although Chen Ziyan did not say anything, he also showed an expression of approval.

The difference is indeed quite big!

The Demon Wolf and the White Bearded Fish are indeed the leaders of their kind, but they are far from the standard in his mind.

"The ancient gods also have strengths and weaknesses, and the vast majority of the descendants of the ancient gods only live longer than their peers. The tempering of time has made the blood in their bodies thinner." The blue-robed Tibetan gave the answer.

In fact, this kind of weakness of bloodline not only appears in the descendants of the ancient gods, but also in those who have plundered the power of the ancient gods.

The Kangbalo family and the Zhang family are the best examples. They have maintained the tradition of internal intermarriage for countless years, just to reduce the loss of blood as much as possible.

“Kunlun is really a mysterious place.” Hu Bayi said with emotion.

He once spent a lot of time here, but now he feels that he may not have even seen a corner of what this place really looks like.

While everyone was talking, a white shadow slowly swam up from the depths of the muddy lake. It was the old fish with a white beard that they had seen before.

The appearance of the white-bearded old fish made Chen Ziyan and the others stop their discussion and all looked at the lake attentively.

Obviously, the king of the white bearded fish is not here to mediate conflicts.

Under their attention, they saw the white-bearded old fish constantly adjusting its position during the ascent, and unexpectedly appeared behind the striped dragon without anyone noticing.

When it was only a few meters away from the striped dragon, the huge fish body began to twist rapidly, just like a car with the accelerator stepped on to the bottom, and the hard fish head was thrown up violently. It hit the unsuspecting striped dragon hard.

Although the striped dragon is also a giant, it is much worse than the white-bearded old fish. It was directly pushed out of the water by the violent impact.

Plop——

After the striped dragon fell into the water again, before it could balance its out-of-control body, the second attack of the old white-bearded fish had already come. The first target was the relatively weak abdomen of the striped dragon.

Although the visual effect of the second impact was not that exaggerated, everyone nearby knew that the damage to the spotted dragon was greater this time. After the impact, the twisted body of the spotted dragon was visible to the naked eye. Stiffened.

Through this brief confrontation, it can be seen that this is by no means the first time the two have fought against each other.

This white-bearded old fish knew very well where the striped dragon's weakness was. The two consecutive impacts were very purposeful. It could even be said that the previous one was just to attack the striped dragon's abdomen.

However, the striped dragon is not a weakling. Although it lost the initiative for a moment, when the white-bearded old fish crashed into itself for the third time, it finally regained control of its body and directly moved its weird body. With a twist, part of the force was relieved, and a bloody mouth full of fangs bit hard on the white-bearded old fish's back.

Unfortunately, the effect is not very obvious. Although this kind of white bearded fish has no scales, the skin on its body has a different kind of corrugated flesh scales. Especially since this old fish has lived for an unknown period of time, it has this kind of skin on its body. The layers of flesh scales are even more tough.

The two behemoths started fighting in the water. The striped dragon has claws and other attack methods, while the white-bearded old fish has more experience, and both of them have rough skin. It is a thick type, so it seems to be indistinguishable, but it does not cause serious damage to the opponent.

"What's going on? Why do I feel like these two guys are just looking fierce?" Wang Kaixuan raised his doubts.

He felt that even though the two big guys in the water were fighting hard, given the severity of their injuries, the wounds on their bodies would have stopped bleeding before they finished fighting.

"This...80% is a daily activity." Chen Ziyan said.

Now the situation in the lake is very clear. It is obvious that neither side can do anything about the other. It seems that it is life and death, but it has already fallen into a stalemate.

“Maybe it’s to declare the ownership of the territory?” Shirley Yang tried to explain it from a popular perspective.

What she said is not unreasonable. Even ordinary animals will behave like this, not to mention that these are two descendants of ancient gods. They can be regarded as upgraded versions of two tigers that cannot tolerate one mountain.

"It's not just a matter of territory. If I guess correctly, the striped dragon should usually feed on the white bearded fish." Chen Ziyan said.

In fact, the chance of guessing wrong is too small. This wind-eroded lake is almost full of white bearded fish. If you want to eat anything else, it depends on your luck.

As for hunting in the mountains and forests, it is not impossible, but no matter how you think about it, it is not easy in the lake. Without this old white-bearded fish, the striped frog is no different from eating at a buffet.

“There is another reason. Shenluochuan was the main battlefield at the time. Many ancient gods died here, so most of the descendants of the ancient gods living here are feuding. Even if there is no external conflict between the two sides, Factors, they will fight whenever they meet," the blue-robed Tibetan said.

There are two most dangerous things in the place where the ancient gods fell. One is the power they controlled during their lifetime. The residual radiation will create many dangerous things, such as the blood bait red flowers that were hard to guard against before. One of them is the descendants of these ancient gods.

However, the special thing about Kunlun is that the places where many ancient gods fell are concentrated together, which leads to the current situation.

Thinking of the blood bait red flowers, he couldn't help but glance at Chen Ziyan.

Even he, a local, had to admit that this group of people was really lucky.

Although the poison of blood bait can be eliminated so easily, this is an extraordinary phenomenon. If an ordinary person encounters this kind of thing, the more likely result is that the poison cannot be detoxified and turns into a human form. Nutrients, because they simply don't have enough time to find antidotes.

More importantly, there are very few restrained things around such things created by the residual power of the ancient gods. The appearance of the thousand-year-old turtle shell is definitely an accident.

Chen Ziyan didn't pay much attention to his complicated gaze. What he was thinking about at the moment was how much benefit it would bring to him if the two giant beasts below were really descendants of the ancient gods.

He has never looked down upon the ancient gods, so he also attaches great importance to the descendants of the ancient gods.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but feel pity.

The ancestors were too ruthless at the beginning and did not leave a way out for the descendants. As a result, there are now very few good things like the ancient gods, and the rest are still hard bones that cannot be chewed. , otherwise he can find two to try his hand in the future.
