The female student named Bai Ziwei almost cried and murmured: "I...I'm too nervous..." "Nervousness is not a reason. If the water monster attacks your companions, will you be nervous too?"
If you are nervous, your companions may be killed by you, don't you know that?"
Wang Hongchao's words were as sharp as a storm, and the situation was as if Bai Ziwei had killed his companions.
Bai Ziwei lowered her head deeply, tears welling up in her eyes, and she tried hard not to fall down.
Wang Hongchao got angry and poked hard on the map with his finger: "Your location is here, remember it for me!"
He almost roared out the last few words, then glanced at the silent students with a cold face and said, "I'll give you a quarter of an hour to prepare, and then we'll set off."
Seeing that he had gone far away, several students who had a good relationship with Bai Ziwei gathered around and comforted her in a low voice.
"Don't blame the instructor for being harsh. He is also doing it for our own good."
someone said.
Bai Ziwei nodded vigorously. She stared at the red circle on the map, firmly remembered her position, and made up her mind: she must not make any mistakes.
A quarter of an hour later, twelve students prepared various spell materials and, led by Wang Hongchao, arrived at the Thunder River.
Wang Hongchao gave the order, and the students immediately dispersed according to the previous deployment, each found a position to hold, and ambush.
Seeing that the students were all in their places, Wang Hongchao made a "wait for instructions and don't mess around" gesture, and then stepped into the mist beside the Lei Ming River.
The students held their breath, waiting for the water monster to appear.
They all know that this is a test for them by the academy. As long as they can successfully complete the task, they can get a valuable credit and become a formal monk soon.
Bai Ziwei's position is on a small hill by the river. She has the highest position and has a clearer view than other companions.
She tried hard to suppress her nervousness, holding an "Ice Talisman" tightly in her hand, her fingertips trembling slightly.
"Unlock the spell...recite the spell...activate the spiritual power..." Bai Ziwei muttered to herself the steps for using the spell, fearing that there would be even the slightest deviation.
She has already left a bad impression on instructor Wang Hongchao. If she makes another mistake later, she may not even be able to graduate.
Just when Bai Ziwei's heart was beating wildly, there was movement in the Thunder River.
It was as if someone had dropped a bomb into the river. The surface of the river, which had been calm just now, suddenly exploded. Turbid waves rolled, there were bursts of thunder, and a huge black shadow suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the water.
"Water monster!"
Bai Ziwei was startled.
Although she was mentally prepared, she didn't expect the water monster to be so huge.
In the mist, the shadow of the water monster is very clear. Only half of its body is exposed above the water, which is more than ten meters long. If the whole body jumped out, it would be several times bigger than the mammoth, the largest beast on land.
lock up.
In addition to its huge size, the roar of the water monster is even more shocking. The "woo-woo" cry is so harsh that it is like rubbing the eardrum with a blunt instrument, which is unbearable.
"Wow!"
A wave exploded and turned into countless rapids, splashing in all directions.
The students cast their gaze into the mist, searching for Wang Hongchao's shadow.
They kept Wang Hongchao's instructions in mind and must wait for instructions before taking action.
The water mist filled the sky, and Wang Hongchao was nowhere to be seen. The students were sweating coldly. They watched the water monster writhing and roaring on the water, but they did not dare to move.
"What is the instructor doing? Why doesn't he give instructions?"
Bai Ziwei's hands were trembling, and the spell seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, making her breathless.
Little did she know that Wang Hongchao was facing the most dangerous test in his life as a monk.
According to his original intention, he first dived into the water to test the location of the water monster, then lured the water monster out of the water, and then gathered the strength of the students to kill it.
To his surprise, as soon as he dived into the water, a huge black shadow bumped up from the bottom of the water. It was the water monster that had been ravaging the Thunder River for a long time.
Wang Hongchao was caught off guard. The water monster's sharp fins cut a bloody gash under his ribs, and he was slapped on the back of the head by its waving tail. He fainted at that time.
Wang Hongchao was so unlucky. It was not the water monster who discovered his intentions, but Li Xuan.
The water monster was spitting bubbles at the bottom of the water. Those bubbles floated to the surface of the river with the water waves, burst and formed a thick mist on the river surface.
If anyone dares to disturb the water monster at this time, he will never escape its bloody mouth.
For residents along the river, this mist is a signal for water monsters to look for food, and they are afraid to avoid it.
Li Xuan didn't care. He was familiar with the characteristics of water monsters and knew that when the mist sprayed thin, the water monsters were most vulnerable, because the fog was the signal for the water monsters to lay eggs.
Li Xuan dived into the water and found the hiding place of the water monster. After watching for a while, he fired a spiritual arrow.
The water monster had just laid eggs and was at its most ferocious. Being seduced by Li Xuan, he immediately became furious.
Li Xuan succeeded in the sneak attack and immediately surfaced on the river. Wang Hongchao was hit by the furious water monster at this time. He could only blame him for his bad luck.
"howl!"
The water monster rolled its huge body, and its tail hit the river surface, immediately causing huge waves.
Li Xuan's figure was covered by the turbid waves, and it seemed that he would be swallowed up at any time.
However, he was calm and leisurely, avoiding the pursuit of the water monster, waiting for the moment to deliver the fatal blow.
This huge water monster is called Mistfish. It is between ten and twenty meters long. It has a cone-shaped head, three rows of sharp teeth like a shark, two blade-like side fins and a body length.
long tail.
Anyone who knows about monsters in the water knows that angering Wuyu is almost equivalent to making an appointment with the Lord of Hell.
Li Xuan would not take the initiative to provoke Wuyu if it was not necessary.
But he knew better. The mist fish usually lives in the vast ocean. Since it appears in the Leiming River and lays eggs at the bottom of the river, it means one thing: its favorite milk thistle is here.
Milk thistle is an extremely rare herb and is the primary ingredient in the preparation of covert action potions.
Milk thistle emits an odor that can only be smelled by pregnant mist fish. Even though they are thousands of miles away, pregnant mist fish will drift upstream and lay their eggs next to milk thistle.
As a master of alchemy, how could Li Xuan let go of such a rare herb as milk thistle.
What's more, the fog fish is full of treasures. Its two side fins and scales can be made into weapons and armor. Fish oil is also a valuable alchemy raw material.
In Li Xuan's view, Wuyu is just a pile of good raw materials that must be collected.
