According to legend, in ancient times, the eminent monk Bodhidharma once crossed a river with a reed, which became a legend in the martial arts world.
It now seems that Bodhidharma at that time should have been a martial arts master. Only by becoming a martial arts master can he release his inner strength and cross the river with a reed.
This old man obviously borrowed Bodhidharma's idea, which was opportunistic, but very practical.
Sun Jingcai and Ayu also had solemn faces. If the elixir was taken away like this, their trip would be in vain.
However, they did not dare to act rashly. In front of the accomplished warriors in the inner realm, Ayu was vulnerable.
Wei Ziyun and his party had been standing steadily watching, not nervous at all, as if they were not worried about the elixir being taken away.
"Your Excellency, you have a good idea, but if you take away the elixir like this, it would seem that we are too incompetent." The old man standing on the first stone said loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out two steel balls from his hand, and while the man jumped on the stone to use his strength, he accurately smashed the branch.
The old man stayed on the third stone in the middle of the pool and glared at the old man on the first stone: "Very good, I will take note of this grudge!"
"Hey!" On the first stone, the old man smiled faintly, not paying attention to the other party's threat at all.
Two old men stood on stones respectively. The old man on the first stone adjusted his breathing, jumped down, walked on the water, landed on the second stone, closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing again.
Without the support of the branches, the old man on the third stone had no choice but to rely on his own cultivation and walk on the water like the old man just now. He landed on the fourth stone from the third stone and began to close his eyes and adjust his breath. .
The other warriors standing on the shore became a little anxious when they saw the old man who had already walked halfway.
"No, we can't wait any longer. No matter what is in this pool of water, we have to break through!" A middle-aged warrior said solemnly.
Another person said: "The theory of monsters is just a rumor after all. No one has seen it with their own eyes, but the magic medicine is right in front of me. If I lose this opportunity, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life."
After saying that, the middle-aged man strode forward, taking off his clothes as he walked, revealing his strong body.
When Murong Yan'er saw this scene, she hurriedly covered her eyes and blushed.
Fortunately, the man left a fig leaf behind, jumped directly into the water with a pop, and swam to the other side.
"This is a simple, direct and effective way!"
All the warriors followed suit, taking off their obstructive clothes and wearing only shorts, they jumped into the pool and swam towards the other side.
Ayu's blood boiled with excitement, and she said to Sun Jingcai: "Master, I'll give it a try too."
Sun Jingcai nodded: "Well, be careful in everything, safety first!"
"Understood!" Ayu said and joined the swimming group.
There were only some ordinary people left on the shore, and except for Chen Mo and Master Wu, there were basically no warriors.
Swim to the other side, this method is slow but very effective. In addition, the warriors had amazing physical strength and were not afraid of the cold. After a while, most of the people had swam across the first stone. Two of the people who entered the water early had already swam over the second stone, surpassing the old man who entered the water first. .
The old man who was sitting on the fourth stone to adjust his breath saw this scene and did not dare to wait any longer. He took off his clothes, jumped into the water and swam to the other side.
"Everyone, stop him quickly, don't let him get there first!" the warrior behind shouted.
However, that person has the strength of the inner realm, and his cultivation level is higher than most people. In addition, they were all in the water, far away, and they didn't bring any hidden weapons, so there was no way to stop him.
Watching the old man cross the fifth stone, the sixth stone was less than a hundred meters away from the location of the elixir.
"Haha, this elixir is mine. Grandmaster, I have hope!" Seeing the elixir coming, the old man couldn't help but laugh excitedly.
"Stop him!"
The warrior behind was so anxious that he swam forward with all his strength.
Eighty meters, sixty meters, forty meters, ten meters...
On the shore, Wei Ziyun was a little nervous: "Master Wu, what if he collects the elixir?"
Master Wu looked relaxed: "Don't worry, he can't get it!"
Sun Jingcai looked regretful: "Oh, it seems Ayu has no hope."
Murong Yan'er was very excited when she saw a lot of people competing to cross the river: "At their speed, those Olympic swimming champions are not worth mentioning at all!"
Chen Mo smiled and said: "Those are just ordinary people, of course they are incomparable to these warriors."
"Do you think that old man can get the elixir?" Murong Yan'er asked curiously.
There was a hint of schadenfreude in Chen Mo's eyes, and he said lightly: "Who knows?"
Seeing that the old man was about to jump up and pick the elixir...
Suddenly, a miserable scream came from his mouth, and then his body suddenly sank into the water, and a stream of blood came up, which looked particularly strange in the dark pool.
There seemed to be a lot of movement under the water, bubbles kept rising, and finally a whirlpool formed.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the old man's body suddenly emerged from the water, but both his legs were broken, and blood flowed from mid-air.
"Help me!" The old man roared, his face full of terror.
Just when everyone was stunned, a splash of water rose up from the water, and a long, pointed mouth covered with golden scales suddenly jumped out from the water, swallowing half of the old man's body in one mouthful, and then quickly submerged into the water.
The entire pool instantly returned to silence, leaving only a circle of ripples.
"There's a monster!"
"escape!"
A warrior shouted with a pale face, turned around, and quickly swam back toward the shore, several times faster than before.
Then, everyone suddenly woke up and swam back to the shore.
On the shore, Wei Ziyun looked horrified and asked with a trembling voice: "Master Wu, was that the golden-scaled crocodile just now? It was too scary!"
Master Wu nodded: "This black water pool is very strange. It seems to be a paradise in the cave. The golden-scaled crocodile has lived here for a long time. It naturally absorbed the spiritual energy of the world, opened up its spiritual wisdom, and became a monster."
"That crimson fruit is guarded by it. If you want to pick the crimson fruit, you must first get rid of the golden-scaled crocodile."
Murong Yan'er looked horrified. She didn't see what happened at all. She only heard a scream and the man disappeared.
"Chen Mo, what happened just now? Where is the old man?"
Chen Mo said calmly: "Any time there is a spiritual beast near the elixir, there will be a spiritual beast guarding it. The old man has been swallowed by the spiritual beast hidden in the pond."
"What!" Murong Yan'er was so frightened that her face turned pale and she took a few steps back.
Chen Mo supported her and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, that beast can't hurt you!"
At this time, another scream sounded.
"ah!"
The middle-aged warrior at the end of the pool was dragged under the water by the golden crocodile and disappeared.
By the time most of the warriors had fled back to the shore, the dark pool water had turned a strange red color. Including the old man, a total of four warriors died in the pool.
"What on earth is that? A monster?" someone exclaimed!
"Are those rumors true? Are there really monsters here?" Someone thought of the legend of Blackwater Pool.
