Once a monster exceeds the second level, its strength and speed will be greatly increased. It cannot be subdued by a Qi Refining monk. It must be a master at the foundation level.
The second, third and fourth level monsters correspond to the three smaller realms of the foundation building realm: the front, middle and back.
Unfortunately, Xue Ziyi's realm is in the early stage of foundation building, and the golden python in the water is a level three monster!
It is equivalent to Xue Ziyi facing a powerful opponent who has reached the middle stage of foundation building!
When the hunting golden python completely submerged its body into the water, all the disciples in the North Campus heard their urgent heartbeats.
No one dared to act rashly.
Especially the three disciples on the wooden boat were trembling with fear and their faces turned pale.
The river became quiet again.
The sediment at the bottom of the water is muddied, and the clear river water becomes turbid, making it difficult to see the conditions at the bottom of the water.
Xue Ziyi felt like facing a formidable enemy.
She calmly and slowly waved her hand, signaling the disciples behind her who had already landed to retreat.
One thing about python monsters is difficult to deal with, they are amphibious!
It can survive in the water or climb ashore to hunt down prey. Unlike pure fish, it basically loses its ability to move when it jumps onto the shore and can only be slaughtered by others.
The disciples on the shore were doing better. They were guarded by Ma Yong and Niu Bucai, and they were gradually moving away from the water's edge.
The most difficult thing to deal with was the three disciples on the wooden boat.
Seeing other disciples gradually moving away, they became even more uneasy and almost cried in anxiety.
"Senior Sister, save us!"
"Help! Help!"
"I, I don't want to die!"
The three of them struggled to escape to the shore, but due to panic, the wooden boat was stepped on and shook, and they almost fell into the water.
"Don't panic! I'm here!"
Xue Ziyi shouted softly, and at the same time, five sword lights appeared around him, and five flying swords were lined up.
The last thing to do is panic at this time. Once you fall into the water, you will be hopeless.
The three people on the boat had just stabilized when a golden tail suddenly appeared from the water and ripped the bow of the boat to pieces.
The wooden boat was destroyed, and the three people were so frightened that they jumped into the adjacent boat.
Xue Ziyi now ignored the three people and stared at the water with all her strength. Five flying swords were cruising on the water, looking for the opportunity to take action.
If you can't see the bottom of the river, you can't see where the golden python is.
Taking random shots has no other use than consuming spiritual energy.
Yun Que stood in the crowd, paying attention to the battle situation.
Although Senior Sister has not taken action yet, the ability to activate five flying swords at will is definitely not something that a Qi Refining Realm disciple can achieve.
Even if you reach the tenth level of Qi refining, you can only control four flying swords at best.
It seems that the spiritual power of the Foundation Establishment Realm has been qualitatively improved compared to the Qi Refining Realm. It would be difficult to understand it if you don’t have the Foundation Establishment Realm.
While Yun Que was looking forward to the foundation-building realm, there was another sound of wooden boards being smashed from the river!
The golden python once again whipped the wooden boat with its tail.
The three people on the boat were forced to flee to the adjacent wooden boat as before.
Since the snake's tail appeared quickly and left no trace, Xue Ziyi's five flying swords could only continue to hover on the water, guarding the three disciples on the boat.
Under this situation, Xue Ziyi seemed extremely passive.
Ma Yong and Niu Bucai were anxious. They each activated their flying swords to prepare for the attack. They did not dare to act rashly without the order of the senior sister.
"Can spiritual consciousness sense the bottom of the water?" Yun Que asked from behind the two of them.
The most obvious difference between monks in the Foundation Building Realm and the Qi Refining Realm is that they have spiritual perception, and can even detect changes in the outside world through walls. Yun Que thought it would not be difficult to see through the river water.
"It is possible, but the distance is limited."
Seeing that it was Yun Que, Ma Yong explained very quickly: "With Senior Sister's cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, the range of spiritual consciousness is roughly one foot around the body. The river is too large and cannot be sensed at all."
Knowing the range of spiritual perception in the early stages of foundation building, Yun Que couldn't help but worry for Xue Ziyi.
The senior sister's realm is no match for level three monsters. The turbid water bottom is obviously more beneficial to the golden python, so trying to save people may not go well.
Snapped!!
There was another muffled sound.
The elusive snake tail continued to damage the wooden boat, and the three people on board screamed and fled to the adjacent wooden boat.
Xue Ziyi seized the opportunity this time. When the snake's tail was about to sink into the water, the two closest flying swords crossed and chopped down.
A golden glow exploded on the water!
The harsh clashing sound disappeared instantly, leaving a few golden scales on the water.
Xue Ziyi's full blow achieved little, only knocking off a few scales of the golden python.
What a powerful monster!
Everyone present was horrified. Even the senior sister's attack was so effective. If it were sword servants like them, not a single scale would be knocked off.
Xue Ziyi stared at the water, focusing on the appearance of the golden python, not daring to relax for a moment.
However, Yun Que on the shore gradually frowned.
Something's wrong...
Yun Que noticed something unusual.
The golden python only used its tail to destroy part of the wooden boat. Instead of knocking down the three people, it seemed to leave enough time for the three of them to escape to the adjacent boat.
If it was a coincidence once, it was the same three times in a row.
Yun Que vaguely smelled a hint of conspiracy.
Snapped!!
The snake's tail appeared again and destroyed part of the wooden boat. The three of them cried for their fathers and continued to run away.
At this time, the three disciples had already escaped from the wooden boat closest to the river bank to the middle of the river.
"Bait...the monster is making bait!"
Yun Que shouted loudly and informed his senior sister of his findings.
Xue Ziyi's face changed suddenly after hearing this.
Only now did she realize that the three people on the boat were getting farther and farther away from her and had reached the middle of the river.
"That snake is leading us over. The deeper we go into the water, the better it will be!" Ma Yong exclaimed in hindsight.
"The golden dragon python forced three disciples into the middle of the river without our knowledge. It obviously used the method of boiling frogs in warm water! A third-level monster is so cunning!" Niu Bucai was shocked.
Hearing what the two said, a group of North Campus disciples became more and more frightened, and the three people on the boat even looked ashen.
The fate of the bait will definitely not be good, let alone the bait made by monsters.
No wonder the golden python only destroyed the wooden boat and didn't eat them. It turned out that everything was the monster's plan!
"Sister, be careful!"
As Ma Yong and Niu Bucai exclaimed at the same time, they saw Xue Ziyi flying up with his sword and heading straight towards the middle of the river.
Xue Ziyi was already reckless and impulsive. At such a critical moment, she could not care about danger. She just wanted to save the three disciples in He Xin.
Almost at the same time that Xue Ziyi took off, the head of the golden python emerged from the water in the middle of the river. Its huge body instantly entangled the wooden boat. The three disciples on the boat were not sure whether they were alive or dead.
Calculated from the snake body that surfaced, the length of this third-level monster is at least five feet!
The golden scales all over the body are shining brightly in the sun!
"Watch the sword, evil beast!"
Xue Ziyi was condescending and urged the five flying swords to strike down in unison.
However, the golden dragon python refused to dodge and resisted with its own body.
Amidst the crisp sound of gold and iron, the attack of the flying sword could only leave white spots on the body of the golden dragon python, but it could not penetrate the snake scales!
The war situation became dangerous for a while.
"Senior Sister's flying swords are of different levels, some are high-grade and some are mid-grade, and they are not powerful enough." Ma Yong said anxiously.
"I'll go back to the North Courtyard to get the magic weapon Chenshuang Sword!" Niu Bucai said hurriedly.
"It's too late. This place is at least thirty miles away from the imperial city. Even if you can get back and forth with your sword, it will still take a long time." Ma Yong said helplessly.
"We can't just watch Senior Sister in danger, let's go help!" Niu Bucai said harshly.
"With our little cultivation, we will be held back." Ma Yong shook his head and said bitterly: "It's a pity that Senior Sister's sword and stone are deposited in the treasure house. Otherwise, with the best magic weapon, we can stand up even if we are defeated by a third-level monster.
In an invincible position."
The magic weapon in the Beiyuan belongs to the elder Yin Tianxiao of the Beiyuan, and does not belong to Xue Ziyi. Except for the time when the first acting master accepted his apprentice, the Chenshuang Sword has always been kept in the Beiyuan.
The situation is now dangerous, and Xue Ziyi has no magic weapon to take advantage of. Not to mention saving the three disciples, she herself is in danger of being swallowed by the monster.
Just when Xue Ziyi and the golden python were fighting in a dangerous situation, and Ma Yong and Niu Bucai were helpless, Yun Que took action.
He didn't go to help, but took out a palm-long stone with holes all over it, and sword energy surged from every hole.
"Senior sister, follow on!"
Yun Que threw stones towards the middle of the river while shouting.
"Sword Stone!"
Ma Yong and Niu Bucai were very surprised when they saw the flying stones.
