Whoosh~ Whoosh~
The blue-black mist dissipated, and a pungent stench suddenly emanated from a hundred feet below. The originally green water plants instantly turned into countless smelly inky black liquids.
"Fortunately, the sect has information about the crocodile lizard. The poison gas can even penetrate the Yuanli. Even ordinary high-level martial arts sect members will be in danger of death once they are corroded by the poison gas."
Looking at the ground that was corroded by the poisonous gas for hundreds of feet in an instant, Yang Qi's expression became more solemn.
“No wonder this crocodile lizard can occupy such a precious land.” Yang Qi’s eyes focused. Humans fight with each other, and so do monsters. The crystal orchid itself is a magical medicine, which is helpful for aquatic monsters. I’m afraid all the monsters living in Hongze want to occupy such a place.
But apart from the almost invisible Wu Zun monster, the one occupying the birthplace of the Crystal Orchid is the crocodile lizard in front of us. The fact that it can occupy such a precious land itself shows how powerful the crocodile lizard is.
The crocodile lizard contains the blood of the ancient blood crocodile. This horrible poison gas is just one of the crocodile's methods.
After missing the first attack, the crocodile lizard attacked again, opened its mouth wide, and gusts of wind containing terrifying power shot towards Yang Qi.
"Break it for me!"
Facing the attack of the crocodile lizard, Yang Qi stabbed out with the sword in his hand continuously, and sword shadows surged in the sky, blocking all the incoming attacks.
Seeing that the two attacks failed to harm Yang Qi, the crocodile lizard also stopped attacking.
"Human, don't even think about getting the crystal orchid from me!" The crocodile lizard roared, and its huge body dived directly into the swamp. The crocodile lizard was able to occupy such a place, so it naturally had seen the flying martial arts of human practitioners. If Yang Qi did not land on the ground, the crocodile lizard could not do anything to Yang Qi.
"This is trouble." Feeling the powerful aura hidden in the swamp below, Yang Qi's face darkened. Although the crocodile lizard was strong, it could not threaten him who was performing flying martial arts.
However, the crocodile lizard had been staying in the swamp, and Yang Qi couldn't go down at all, so naturally he couldn't find the crystal orchid. This time, the sect mission required three crystal orchids, but he only got one.
"Lead him out."
Yang Qi activated the internal energy in his body, and a powerful aura burst out from his body. Then, he shook the sword in his hand, and a huge sword light instantly fell towards the swamp below.
"Bang~"
The sword light fell, and the mud swamp exploded, forming a pit hundreds of feet in size. Unfortunately, the crocodile lizard below had already dodged it.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Sharp sword lights fell one after another, and horrible noises were heard in the swamp. Pits hundreds of feet in diameter were blasted out, and were filled up by the pouring mud and water after a while.
"This crocodile lizard hides too fast!"
Yang Qi's face darkened. The crocodile lizard was hiding in the mud, and its speed did not slow down, but became faster. In addition, he did not dare to fly too low. Every time he attacked, the crocodile lizard could easily avoid his attack. The crocodile lizard was clearly waiting for Yang Qi to go down. If Yang Qi did not land on the ground, the crocodile lizard would not attack again!
A trace of helplessness flashed across Yang Qi's face. He moved his body and flew away into the distance, performing flying martial arts. His energy was consumed at a very fast rate. He couldn't continue to fight with the crocodile lizard, so he could only retreat temporarily.
Only after leaving the crocodile lizard's nest did Yang Qi land on the ground.
"Are you from Tianjian Sect?" At this moment, a figure covered in mud suddenly stood up in the swamp not far away.
"Not bad, you actually avoided the poison gas?"
Looking at the figure in front of him, Yang Qi was stunned. The crocodile lizard had attacked him before, but this figure was not far away from the battle between the two sides. He actually avoided the terrible poison gas and escaped. Yang Qi was also a little surprised by this. After all, the man in front of him was only a six-star martial master.
"The crocodile lizard's main target is you, so I was able to escape." The man said lightly. He had already fled since the crocodile lizard attacked Yang Qi. If he had been a moment later, he would probably have been attacked by the blue-black poisonous gas.
"You are quite courageous. A six-star martial arts master, you actually dare to go so deep into Hongze." Yang Qi looked at the man and said slowly.
"If not for this, I wouldn't be able to get the Crystal Orchid." The man smiled slightly and looked at Yang Qi and said, "From what I see, you seem to want to get the Crystal Orchid very much?"
"Yes, why do you want to sell it to me?" Yang Qi couldn't help but look at the man when he heard this.
"That's right." The man smiled.
"Aren't you afraid that I might kill people and steal their treasures?"
Hearing this, Yang Qi looked at the man with some curiosity. This was not a city. In such a wasteland, strength was everything. Yang Qi's strength was above the man's. The man took the initiative to reveal that he was carrying a treasure. He could kill people and take the treasure without spending a penny, and he could also get the crystal orchid.
"You are a disciple of Tianjian Sect, I believe you." The man said lightly.
"Um?"
Yang Qi looked at the man in astonishment. He actually trusted the disciples of Tianjian Sect so much. It should be known that even brothers could kill someone to steal treasures, not to mention strangers. Although Tianjian Sect was famous, it was not so revered.
“But I need two crystal orchids.” Yang Qi chuckled. He remembered that the man only got one crystal orchid, which was useless to him. If he wanted to complete the sect’s mission, he needed two crystal orchids!
"Just two, I still have some." The man smiled indifferently, moved his hands, and then two crystal orchids appeared in his hands.
Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, then he immediately understood that the other party might have more than two crystal orchids. As a six-star martial artist, he was able to find so many crystal orchids here. He was quite impressed.
"How many Yuan Crystals?" Yang Qi looked at the man.
"Twenty thousand per plant." said the man.
"You are really dark."
Yang Qi gave a bitter smile. The price of the crystal orchid in the outside world was only about ten thousand crystals, but when it came to the man's hands, it was asked to be 20,000 crystals, which was one third more expensive.
"It's good value for money, isn't it?" the man said calmly.
"All right."
Yang Qi nodded. He didn’t care about Yuan Jing. What he lacked now was the contribution to the sect. In a large sect, everything was about the contribution to the sect, and the process of obtaining the contribution to the sect was itself a kind of tempering.
Yang Qi took out 40,000 yuan in crystals and gave them to the man, then put away the two crystal orchids. If the crocodile lizard had not been guarding near its nest, Yang Qi could have searched for the crystal orchids by himself. But now he could only buy the crystal orchids at a high price to complete the task.
"I haven't asked you anything yet?" Yang Qi looked at the man.
"I'm just a six-star martial arts master, and you're a genius on the Tianjiao list. I didn't expect you would ask me my name on your own initiative." The man couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Yang Qi's question.
Yang Qi did not find it strange to see that the other party recognized his identity. Whether it was the Tianjiao List or the battle with Xu Dahai, it had greatly increased his fame. It was not strange that a cultivator who had seen the Tianjiao List could recognize him.
"Chen Ruoshang!" the man said calmly. (To be continued)
