This is what a fairy should be like

“Master—” “Master, are you okay?”

Lu Jing and Yang Tianlei were slightly better at martial arts, so they ran ahead after crossing the hill. Lu Cheng and He Yuchen were slightly less skilled in martial arts, so they followed closely behind and ran madly.

Zhuang Lin did not continue to stand on the river. He tapped the waves with his feet, and floated with his body. In just a dozen steps, he had reached the shore.

Looking at the four people running over, although their bodies were covered with sweat, overall the amount of sweating was not exaggerated, and they maintained a suitable breathing rhythm. Although their bodies were tired, their running rhythm was not disordered and their steps were powerful.

This is a true lesson learned. I didn't do anything reckless in my rush to get on with my journey, and I saved my strength to fight!

Moreover, the aura on his body was as bright as fire, and the internal energy in his body was also like wisps of flames, which made Zhuang Lin nod slightly.

When the four men rushed to the shore with weapons in hand, they walked for a while and saw Zhuang Lin standing there intact with the wooden sword in his hand, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, are you okay?"

"The noise just now was probably caused by a monster, right?"

"Have you fought against the monster?"

"Where's the monster?"

After seeing Zhuang Lin's condition, the four of them immediately searched for targets around them.

When Zhuang Lin heard this, he remembered that the snake demon seemed to have been killed by "Babolben" a long time ago? It seemed to be left there.

“The monster is there—” “Be careful!”

Before Zhuang Lin could say anything, the four of them discovered the monster's location first. They were all a little nervous, mainly because it was not difficult to find.

When he first arrived, he was somewhat concerned and his attention was mostly on Zhuang Lin. Now, he looked to the side and saw a hillside with broken trees and rocks a little further away. A huge, terrifying-looking snake was lying limp on the hillside, with half of its tail still submerged in the river.

"The monster seems..." "Nothing moving?"

Could it be

The four of them subconsciously looked at Zhuang Lin.

"Master, have you killed the monster?"

“I guess so.”

Zhuang Lin grinned, although strictly speaking he was not the one who killed the snake.

Lu Jing and the others all breathed a sigh of relief and then turned their tension into curiosity, and then ran towards the hillside.

The distance was about a hundred feet, and the closer they got, the more shocked they were.

You can only feel how big the snake is when you look at it up close. From a distance it looks long and thin, but when you look at it up close even though it is dead, it still gives people a strong sense of horror.

The four men approached with guns and knives, but they didn't dare to get close when they reached the snake's corpse. Then they realized that they were supposed to accompany the Master to deal with the monster, but now they didn't even dare to get close to the corpse. It was really embarrassing.

When the four people arrived at the snake's corpse, they began to marvel at it again.

"This is a monster. When the giant monkey was alive, it was scary. But when it died, some people in Wuling County thought it was not a monster, but just a big monster."

"Yes, even if this big snake is dead, it is definitely a monster!"

The four men separated and looked at different parts of the snake's body, and some of them used their weapons to demonstrate.

"How thick must it be? Is it as thick as a dung bucket?" "Your dung bucket is pretty big!"

"It's about four or five meters long, right?" "More than that."

"The gallbladder of this big snake must be very nutritious!"

"Oh, yes!"

Zhuang Lin also came over at this moment. The four of them turned around to look when they heard the noise, and then Lu Cheng hurriedly asked a question.

"Master, how about we dig out the snake gall?" "Yes, otherwise it will be wasted. It must be great for making wine!"

"You can do whatever you want with it, but you need to be quick. We need to deal with the snake carcass later, so as not to scare the people on the passing boats."

"What do you do with such a big snake?" "Carry it away and burn it?"

Zhuang Lin looked at the river on one side and shook his head.

"No need. We will drag it into the river later. The fish and shrimp in the river will eat it and it can also nourish the aquatic creatures!"

There was no need to burn the giant snake, because most of the filth, evil spirit and even the remaining essence on the snake's body had been refined together with the River Blocking and Dragon Locking Formation.

So the snake demon is now just a slightly special snake corpse compared to when it was alive. Even if it is left alone, it will rot normally and there will not be any excessive impact.

Perhaps only snake gall can have some magical uses.

"Oh, I know!"

The four men responded and rushed to the snake's vital point. Lu Cheng took the knife and stabbed it directly at the right position. Unexpectedly, the blade was no match for the snake scales and only left a shallow white mark.

"Huh? Didn't get in?" "This snake scale is powerful, use your internal energy!"

"Don't poke the scales directly, cut along the edges!"

The four of them worked together to think of a solution. Someone simply lifted up the scales and let the knife penetrate through the gap, which indeed became much smoother.

In a short while, a huge snake gall was dug out by the four people, but they were also a little puzzled.

"Why is it so small? And wrinkled?" "Yeah, I thought it would be bigger than my head."

Yes, the snake gallbladder in Lu Cheng's hand was only as big as a child's fist at most. Compared with such a big snake, it was a little small and not full.

Zhuang Lin smiled at the side and naturally knew the reason.

Most of the vitality in the snake gall had been drained away by the Jiejiang Locking Dragon Formation, so of course it had deflated. But although there wasn't much left, what was left was all the essence. In Zhuang Lin's eyes, there was no need for additional refining or purification.

"Put it away first. You can also cut off some scales and make some inner armor for self-defense if you have the chance."

"Oh! What a good idea!" "Master is still smart!"

The four of them had experienced the toughness of the snake scales just now, and now they were all tempted.

"I want this piece!" "Then I want this piece, don't fight with me!"

"Hey, leave some for me!" "It's such a big snake, go find it yourself"

The four of them bickered and rushed to several directions, using their weapons to pry off the snake's scales, and even used their internal energy to increase efficiency.

After all, not every scale is intact. When cutting them, I found that many scales were broken, so every good scale has to be grabbed.

They are good brothers in normal times, but now they are the biggest rivals!

More than a quarter of an hour later, when the four men worked together to drag the snake's body into the water, the snake, which had been so creepy just now, was as clean as a plucked chicken.

Maybe this is scary in a way.

The four of them had now completely dragged the snake's corpse into the water. The bloody snake corpse slid into the deep water and soon attracted a large number of fish and shrimp to eat it. Although the snake's demon essence had been seized by the River-Blocking Dragon-Locking Formation, the snake's body still contained some vitality.

Lu Jing and the other three were now all wrapping their snake scales with their outer coats. They were also using river water to wash the blood stains on them and playing with the cool scales.

These scales are really special. They looked quite thick when they were on the snake, but after they were all cut off, each one is as thin as a cicada's wing, and even somewhat soft and tough.

All the small fish and shrimps in the water gathered around, not at all bothered by the blood stains being washed off.

The four people finally obtained a stack of intact scales, about half a palm high, which was easy to carry and hide. Although it didn't look like much, each person had dozens of intact snake scales.

Holding the snake scales, they walked back to Zhuang Lin, and the four of them were all very happy.

"By the way, Master, should we go directly to the next place, or wait for that big ship?"

"It's just some clothes. What's wrong with leaving them on the boat?"

No mistake, just one song, one post, one content, one look!

Zhuang Lin grinned and glanced at Lu Cheng who said the last sentence.

"You don't have to give up your clothes, but you have to take Zhuang's bookcase."

Lu Cheng smiled awkwardly and stopped talking. Instead, Lu Jing on the side laughed.

"That's great. Let's ask them for a jar of wine to soak the snake gallbladder so it won't go to waste!"

"That's right!"

Zhuang Lin glanced at them, then looked up at the sky. The upper realm?

Should I find a suitable time to fly up and see what's going on above? I am a legitimate sect, so I can just take a look from a distance and not go in. It won't be considered a violation of the heavenly rules, right?

And now that I think about it, it seems that the river god of the Man River doesn't have much control over the water area.

Although the time of deploying the River Blocking and Dragon Locking Formation was not long, it was equivalent to cutting off the water veins. Didn’t the river god show up at all? —

On a rocky ridge in a mountain far away from where Zhuang Lin and the others were, someone was looking up at the sky.

This is a woman with a delicate face and gorgeous clothes. She has a loose horse-like bun on her head, a flowing cloud hairpin on the side, and a flower rope tied up her hair behind her back. She is wearing a plain white skirt and seems to have a fluffy belt around her waist. She is wearing a white fur cloak on the outside.

Anyone who saw such a woman anywhere would praise her for her beauty and would think she must be from a wealthy family. But now she was alone in this remote mountain area.

The woman's expression was somewhat solemn at this time, and she was muttering to herself as she was thinking about something.

"The strange thing is that the Big Dipper did appear briefly in the daytime just now. If I hadn't happened to see it, I would have thought it was an illusion."

This situation gives people a huge amount of room for imagination. If you are more open-minded, you may attribute it to an illusion, but if you think about it more deeply, it is not simple.

The Big Dipper has a special position among the stars. There must be a reason for its appearance in the daytime. As the saying goes, when strange phenomena appear in the sky, something big must be happening!

"Could it be that some treasure has been born? Or is it a hint of a change in the destiny of the world?"

The woman frowned and thought for a while, and decided to keep an eye on the stars for the next period of time, not just at night, but also during the day.

Thinking of this, the woman decided not to return to the cave for the time being. She simply swept her sleeves and conjured up a table, tea set and a cushion on the ground. She then sat down on the ridge, not worrying at all about her clothes getting stained by the mountain dust.

As soon as she sat down, the woman immediately looked up at the sky, and only started grinding tea leaves after seeing nothing unusual.

As she was grinding the tea, the woman would occasionally look up at the sky. Later, she simply stared at the sky while grinding the tea by feel.

The water in the Man River had already returned to normal, but the Yin family's ship still waited for a while before continuing on its way.

Yin Kuangzhi stood at the railing above and urged the boatman from time to time.

"Faster, faster!"

"Young Master, there's no point in being anxious. It's been so long, it should have been over long ago."

Yin Kuangzhi ignored Li Yanming and just urged the boatman.

"Why are you so slow? Speed ​​up the boat and I'll give you 500 coins—"

The effect of the reward was quite obvious. The speed of the ship increased significantly. Several boatmen began to row harder, and the people holding the poles on both sides of the ship also worked very hard.

However, after traveling a certain distance, the speed of the boat slowed down again, but Yin Kuangzhi did not immediately get angry at the boatman because the specific reason was already obvious.

On the river, I don't know when it started, but a lot of driftwood and branches floated down the river. Many of these broken wood and branches still had green or yellow leaves hanging on them.

At first, there was only an occasional blockage, but later it slightly affected the passage of large ships.

Many of the small boats nearby also slowed down here, but it was not because they were difficult to avoid, but because the boatmen were salvaging suitable wood and preparing to take it home to dry and use as firewood.

"Why is there so much driftwood?"

Yin Kuangzhi's doubts were also everyone's doubts, but the ship continued to move forward.

After sailing for a while, Li Yanming was the first to discover something unusual on the boat.

"Young Master, look at that!"

On the hillside near the shore in the distance, a large area of ​​forest was destroyed. Some large trees seemed to be broken in half, while others were tilted as if they were almost uprooted. There were also some uneven marks on the mountain.

At first glance, the hillside looked as if it had been plowed by some inhuman force, and the source of the driftwood in the river had naturally been found.

"Over there, it's Mr. Zhuang and his friends! Come over here quickly—"

Yin Kuangzhi immediately shouted excitedly below, and the boatman who received the order responded and immediately turned the rudder to change direction.

"Uncle Li, Uncle Li, Mr. Zhuang is still here, does that mean he won? Uncle Li?"

Li Yanming was speechless as he looked at the hillside over there. Was this the battlefield where the innate masters fought each other? Was that the sound just now a dragon turning over?

Seeing that Li Yanming ignored him, Yin Kuangzhi didn't get angry. He put his hands on his mouth and shouted at that direction.

"Mr. Zhuang - but you won -"

Where Zhuang Lin and others were, Lu Jing and others who were originally sitting stood up.

"Finally here!" "Why is their ship so slow? I thought it wouldn't come!"

Even though they were complaining, when they heard the young man's clear voice, smiles broke out on their faces.

Although it may not be convenient to say that it was a fight against a monster, it would not be a big problem in terms of the outcome. Lu Cheng gathered his internal energy and shouted in response towards the river.

"Of course, Master wins..."
