Chapter 357 Meeting the Water Monster for the First Time

A loud rumbling sound came from the distance. Duan Muxiang and Shen Zhaodi drove their horses to gallop. They looked ahead at the dark clouds. There was no lightning but there was thunder.

Duan Muxiang's heart sank. This was the sound of water, the sound of rolling waves.So, are they a step too late after all?

No, this is the wrong time!Even if we count from the time when the great elder was killed, it is impossible for the water to flood here. This place is not far from Dingzhou City, and it is far from a simple road closure.

It wasn't that he was late, but that the great elder had no intention of threatening him at all. The water monster had already started the plan to destroy the reservoir before Duan Muxiang went to the appointment.Moreover, it is very likely that it is not to block the road, but to simply destroy!
Duanmuxiang stopped his horse urgently and pointed to a nearby high slope, "Go there."

Almost as soon as the two of them reached the high slope, rolling wolf heads rushed past. The turbid water rolled and spread more than three meters away from Duanmuxiang. From time to time, trees floated and rushed past.

"This is not blocking our road. It's clearly surrounding the entire Dingzhou City." Shen Zhaodi swallowed. She could always hear about the flood from newspapers and other people's mouths, but how many people had seen that ruthless What about the floods?Now feeling the ruthlessness of nature, she was shocked for a moment.

Duanmuxiang looked towards the source. Such a large volume and location of water could not be formed by simply destroying one or two reservoirs.

"Let's take a detour and go!"

The two of them turned their horses and looked for some high slopes to take a detour and continue moving forward. Three hours later, they finally saw the so-called water monster in a mountain valley.

It was a giant basilisk with eight heads... no, now it was a giant basilisk with seven heads. Green scales covered the whole body. The eight snake bodies were entangled together, and the joints were buried in the water. Although it was a snake body, each head was a human. Some of the faces are vicious, some are ferocious, and some are green-faced and have fangs. Each one is full of attack power. The red smell from the mouth is obviously highly poisonous. The slightest movement can set off huge waves to destroy the dead.

Shen Zhaodi raised her neck to face the monster. The figure that covered the sky and seemed to be a hundred meters long seemed to imprint the word "invincible" on everyone's hearts.

However, Duan Muxiang was keenly aware that there seemed to be a head missing among the seven flying heads. One of the eight snake bodies only had a bloody section, but a snake head was missing.

"It seems there is a master!"

Duan Muxiang sighed with emotion, and soon saw a dozen figures jumping around in the air. Most of the weapons in their hands were swords, and occasionally some of them emitted unusual light. At first glance, they were magic weapons.

There is no tacit cooperation between them, and every two or three people deal with one head. However, the head of the water monster knows how to cooperate better than them, so despite being surrounded by more than a dozen people, it is the water monster that has the upper hand.

"Brother-in-law, those people... are all masters of the Tianshu realm. This is the first time I've seen so many of them!"

In order to deal with the water monster, those people released their breath completely, even Shen Zhaodi could sense it from so far away.

Duan Muxiang nodded, "After all, time is still too tight. Half of these masters are people stationed in military districts in several nearby cities. Most of their kung fu are secret skills hidden in Gongmen. Others are from Thirteen The internal experts of the Zhu family, the Qian family and the Chu family are here. There are also people from the Li family!"

The appearance of the Li family actually surprised Duan Muxiang. The previous incident with the demon species made the other Thirteen Pillar families intentionally or unintentionally stumbling upon the Li family. At this time, they would let experts come out to cause trouble and be the first to do so?
Duan Muxiang didn't understand for a while, but it was because he didn't know that Shen Menger directly exposed the information that she was a member of the Li family when she was in Jinghai County.John Wick did not elaborate on this when communicating with him before. After all, he had just arrived at the Shen family, and he thought Duan Muxiang knew some things.

"Why are you here?"

An urgent voice came from one side of the river valley. Duan Muxiang looked up and saw Qian Xiaoguang hopping and waving. Next to him, Chu Yiwei seemed to be dodging, until she saw Duan Muxiang and Shen Menger, she became more generous.

"Are we going there?" Shen Zhaodi said and glanced at Chu Yiwei. This was the girl his brother had fallen in love with for the first time. As a sister, she must be close to her.

Duan Muxiang ignored him and said casually: "I'm going to have a fight with this water monster soon. If you feel you can protect yourself, you don't need to go. Although these two people are unlikely to attack you, but Naturally, there are people from the Qian family and the Chu family nearby, so it’s hard to guarantee that they won’t be able to afford it. Don’t think too high-end of the Thirteen Pillars family, their methods are dirty.”

When Shen Zhaodi heard this, she glared and said, "You are asking this question, so I naturally have the confidence to protect myself."

Duan Muxiang nodded and said cheerfully: "Then just find a place to hide, and I'll go try out the Water Monster."

Dealing with so many late-stage innate masters can already show how difficult the water monster is, but at this level, it seems impossible to escape from Wen Du in the previous life. Is it possible that Wen Du can't swim?
The two golden snake swords shook in their hands, and they rushed towards the battlefield in the river valley with a leap.

Those who fought against the water monsters were all Tianshu realm masters, and their innate-level perception quickly discovered Duan Muxiang's arrival.

"Nowadays Hou Lang is so powerful, he is already in the innate realm at this age." A middle-aged man whom he didn't know sighed, but there was a bit of disdain in his eyes.A middle-aged beautiful woman next to her was much more straightforward, shouting loudly: "Those who are in the Tianji realm should not participate, just step back!"

The beautiful middle-aged woman had a bad tone, but Duan Muxiang didn't notice any malice. She even meant well, but he didn't seem to care at all.

The two swords were raised in mid-air and then began to rotate. The golden snake sword immediately set off a rotating golden light, cutting across the nearest head like a chainsaw.

Hiss!

The blood was black, and the swirling air waves did not splash the black blood on Duan Muxiang's body, but the move that caused severe pain to the water monster did not actually cause any harm.

Duanmuxiang jumped away with a little help from the scales of the water monster. Looking back, she saw that the somewhat hideous wound had already begun to recover. It was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye!
How to fight this?
Duanmuxiang already had some understanding of the water monster with just one move. Let’s not talk about the attack methods for now, but the body is indeed hard enough. Duanmuxiang’s attack with all his strength is like using nail clippers to attack an apple. On the surface, it can The juice flew everywhere, but overall it didn't destroy the apple.

If that's all, it's just a little more effort, but the problem is that the water monster's recovery power is too strong!

So... Wen Du didn't kill it with two swords, just because it has strong recovery power?
"My uncle, what a trick!"

A middle-aged man with unshaven beard and military uniform landed next to him, his eyes fell on his two golden snake swords. The flash of greed did not escape Duan Muxiang's observation, but he was more concerned about the other person's title. , "Uncle?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "I, Li Chenggong, the supervisor of the nearby military region, have met my uncle! I heard before that my uncle is a loser, but now I see that the information on Yuhe Tower is nothing more than this!"

Duan Muxiang's smile was a little stiff. He was not ready to expose the relationship between the Shen family and the Li family for a while, so some idiot leaked the secret.

Duan Muxiang had no impression of Li Chenggong, but being able to serve as a supervisor in a local military region definitely had something to do with the Li family.

"Who doesn't have some trump cards these days? Yuhe Tower is just a place for a bunch of intelligence dealers to make a living."

"Hahaha, what I said is true. I also went to Yuhe Tower to catch the autumn wind."

When Li Chenggong said this to Duan Muxiang, he roughly understood that if it were the main family or even the branch of the Thirteen Pillars family, they would not do this. After all, the old men of various families still care about face.But there are some exceptions, and that is the group of people who are given surnames from each family.

Although the Thirteen Pillars family has a great cause, the number of people with one surname is ultimately limited, so it is inevitable to absorb people from other surnames.After all, there are a lot of people who follow the trend. Selecting those with development and talents among them to give them surnames becomes a 'shortcut' to change their class. Well, it is similar to the principle of having a son-in-law.

Ow!

The chat between the two seemed to annoy the water monster. One of its heads opened its mouth and countless water arrows were fired at it.The sharp water arrows even left countless roars in the air.

However, Duan Muxiang and Li Chenggong took off almost at the same time. They avoided the water arrows with a few ducks. Li Chenggong pulled out a phantom in the air, confusing the target of the water monster. After the water arrows, he didn't know who to hit. This attack was natural. It was interrupted.

Duan Muxiang's Xubu was more straightforward, and her figure flashed and appeared as if she was teleporting. Li Chenggong was quite surprised, "My uncle is so light-hearted."

Duan Muxiang was a little touched. She had never heard anyone praise his Qinggong before.

However, this was not the time for casual chatting. Even if Li Chenggong intended to make friends, he still didn’t know what would happen to the Li family in the future, so Duan Muxiang asked directly: "What is going on with this water monster? Also, what's going on with its head?" What happened, who did it? How did it happen?"

Li Chenggong explained with a serious expression: "Is it called Water Monster? Since the intelligence warning from Yuhe Tower, the supervisors of the nearby military regions have gathered their manpower to patrol the waters of the Changding River. It's just that the Yuhe Tower intelligence was wrong. In fact, The water monster had been taking action since late that night, but the order was wrong."

"What's the wrong order?"

"We thought that this water monster caused the flood by crashing into the reservoir, but that was not the case. As soon as it appeared, it was able to control a large area of ​​water and directly flooded the patrolling guards. It is precisely because of this that the guards It was too late to even send out the Gu-eating Swallow." Li Chenggong sighed, and then said: "When we arrived, we realized it was already too late. This water monster seems to be very intelligent. It first controlled the flood and then hit the reservoir. The entire The process was quite methodical.”

Duanmuxiang nodded clearly, turned around and glanced at the water monster again, is there wisdom?But why is it that what we see in the eyes of the Water Monster now is all irrational violence?
