Chapter 11 The Moonlight Beast
The wind was howling, the rain was intermittent, the rain was pouring, the waves were surging, and the dark blue lake water was glittering with a faint luster under the moonlight.
A huge ship came from a distance, crossing the waves on the water, leaving white scratches.
Ye Yang stood in front of the boat, looking at the boundless blue lake in front of him, and the night wind blew his hair.
There were two people standing beside him, Zhang Liaoyuan and Zhang Feng.
Behind the three were five or six Zhang family men holding flying harpoons and wearing black tight clothes. These people were the elites selected by the Zhang family in the past few days.
With the sailors working hard to push the boat, the speed of the group became faster and faster.
After the boat sailed for a while, it finally reached a vast water surface. Ye Yang looked around and saw that there was actually a small island on the vast water surface.
It was winter at this moment. There were no green trees and weeds on the high ground, only some dead willow branches, which looked bare, and there were many scattered stone piles.
The group moored the boat next to the high ground, and Ye Yang and his companions got off the boat.
Several strong men took out a pile of wire mesh with cold gleam and spikes, and set up traps next to the high ground.
Zhang Liaoyuan said: "The fierce crocodile is quite smart. When the moon is full at night, it will go to the high ground and swallow the moonlight. After another hour and a quarter, the moonlight will be at its brightest."
"We just lie in ambush here and wait for the fierce beast to fall into the trap."
Zhang Liaoyuan changed into a set of tight clothes, which was much more capable than before.
Ye Yang nodded and found that there were countless chaotic scratches on the ground in front of him, as if some giant creature was crawling on the ground.
It seems that the giant crocodile should have visited this high ground frequently during this period.
Several people found a hidden place and buried it.
...
It was night at this moment, the moon was high, and the wind and waves were howling.
After waiting for about an hour and a quarter, the waves in the distance surged, as if some giant creature was about to emerge from the water, causing the surrounding water to surge out from time to time.
"The giant crocodile is about to appear."
Zhang Feng, who had been silent all the time, groaned, and everyone quickly bent down lower, fearing that they would disturb the giant.
The water was rolling, the atmosphere was oppressive, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the giant beast to appear.
Not long after, a giant crocodile, swaying, walked from the surging water to the land.
The giant crocodile was four or five feet long, with a long and wide head and a protruding bone ridge behind each eye.
The sharp and upright scales on the back extended to the neck, and there were black and yellow spots on the four legs like a tiger.
The tail was thick and powerful, and it scratched cracks on the ground when walking.
Everyone had a solemn expression, and on the side, an elite child of the family quietly approached Zhang Liaoyuan's ear.
"Master, the giant crocodile has appeared. Should we inform the rear to start firing the Three Oxen Talisman Crossbow?"
Zhang Liaoyuan nodded: "Let the people on the boat prepare to attack."
The Three Oxen Talisman Crossbow was a heavy weapon that they bought from the weapon refining sect with spirit stones. It was activated by spirit stones and guided by talismans.
Just pulling it to the Green Lake Marsh, more than a dozen horses and wild buffaloes were exhausted.
Zhang Liaoyuan looked quite excited. They had made all preparations to slaughter the giant crocodile.
Once this huge heavy weapon appeared, the talisman crossbows would be able to penetrate the giant crocodile and kill the enemy in one fell swoop.
He gave an order to the person next to him and waved his hand.
The man immediately understood and gestured to the back.
Swish!
A sound of breaking through the air came, and a spear with thin ends and thick in the middle shot out from the Three Oxen Crossbow, heading straight for the top of the giant crocodile's head.
Clang!
The spear directly penetrated the ground and did not hit the giant crocodile, leaving only the powerful tail of the spear, which kept shaking in the air.
Seeing this, everyone stopped dodging and stood up from the ground. Several people formed a circle and quickly approached the giant crocodile.
The giant crocodile roared, and its several-foot-long body stood up, roared to the sky, and rushed towards the few people.
Its scales were grim, its fangs were sharp, and its muscles were knotted, like a steel giant beast.
Ye Yang put some force on the ground with his toes, jumped up and firmly grasped the dead willow on the side, resting temporarily, and finally avoided the attack.
However, others were not so lucky.
Then the giant crocodile went crazy, and many people were hit, and there was a creaking sound of broken bones.
One person held a giant shield in his hand for self-defense.
But the giant crocodile attacked, and the giant shield was instantly smashed by the terrifying force.
Then, the giant crocodile opened its mouth, and the man's head was bitten and swallowed by the giant crocodile, and red and white flowed all over the ground.
After a few encounters, several people had their sternums smashed and thrown into the water. One person died instantly, and the loss was heavy.
…
"No, this giant crocodile is not only powerful, but also too fast! Everyone retreat quickly."
Zhang Liaoyuan was in a state of crisis.
The giant crocodile in front of him not only has super strong defense, but also extremely sensitive. Just now, he had lost several people on his side.
If you want to kill the giant crocodile, you must blind its eyes, so as to reduce its sensitivity and rely on the three-ox crossbow to give it a fatal blow.
Zhang Liaoyuan glanced at the back. He originally wanted to attack together with Ye Yang, but thinking of the opponent's strength of the seventh level of Tongqi, he shook his head.
The opportunity to kill the giant crocodile is rare. The opponent's cultivation is still weak and not good at body movement. Even if he is a disciple of the upper sect, he is young after all and lacks combat experience.
If you miss the opportunity and disturb the giant crocodile away, the giant crocodile will dive into the deep water, and all plans will fail.
"Fellow Daoist Feng, you rush forward and destroy its eyes. We will sweep the formation for you on the side to attract the attention of the giant crocodile."
This casual cultivator, known as Fellow Daoist Feng, is a Ventilation Realm cultivator with short hair and dressed in smart attire.
They were not the children of the Chazi Zhang family, but the casual cultivators specially invited from outside to rescue them during the war against the crocodiles.
He is good at Floating Flowing Body Technique and is extremely fast.
The man laughed immediately after hearing Zhang Liaoyuan's instructions.
"Master Zhang, please rest assured, with my Wind Chasing Sword Feng Hua here, this giant crocodile will definitely be killed!"
Originally, the Zhang family did not plan to spend spiritual stones to ask him to come forward, but they heard that the support troops coming from the Shangzong were not strong enough.
He had just spent a lot of money to bring him over from Wangyue Mountain.
This man was like a ghost, and he quickly reached the giant crocodile. His hands slid down, flashed in the air, and stabbed the giant crocodile in the eye with just one blow.
And everyone quickly cooperated with him. Some used swords, and some threw fireballs and talismans to restrain the giant crocodile.
There were even a few people who pulled the giant net soaring into the sky to intercept it, causing the giant crocodile to slow down.
Zhang Liaoyuan was still a little worried.
"Zhang Feng, you go too."
