Chapter 503: Qualities required of those who do great things
The big snake at night on the water turned its head to look at Xiaocao. There was a cold light in its vertical pupils. It examined Xiaocao for a long time before it said: "If you want to get information from me, you must defeat me first."
"Damn it, you can talk!"
Wang Jinxuan was shocked. Not only was Xiaocao's attitude towards the big snake shocked, he was even more shocked by the big snake's strength and ability.
The power of monsters is a watershed between those who can talk and those who cannot. It is also a watershed between those who can transform into humans and those who cannot.
Wang Jinxuan did not feel a strong aura from the big snake, but it was swatted away before. Obviously, the strength of this big snake should be beyond her ability to sense.
Xiaocao gave up the advantage of a sneak attack and showed up to speak. Could it be that she saw something?
After the big snake said he wanted to fight, Xiaocao bowed his hand respectfully and said, "Please enlighten me."
After saying that, Xiaocao jumped directly into the water and then disappeared without a trace.
Water Escape Technique, this is Xiaocao's most proficient move at present.
Combining escape techniques and stealth, plus she practices water-based physical training techniques, she is as at home in the water as a fish in water.
The big snake ignored her and came straight towards Wang Jinxuan.
Wang Jinxuan screamed, "F*ck". Only when the big snake moved did she realize how ferocious the snake was.
But after all, she is also a disciple who has been trained by Lin Yi's wives. In terms of strength, Wang Jinxuan can be ranked high among the younger generation.
It's just that Ji Yi's improvement speed is exaggerated, which makes the improvement of their disciples seem unworthy of mention.
In other words, Xiao Yue's strength improved the fastest because he led troops to fight everywhere and used killing as a guide.
It's just that her happiness doesn't last long, is not conducive to understanding the way of heaven, and may not be a good thing.
Only those who work steadily and steadily like Wang Jinxuan and Xiaocao will have the opportunity to go further in the future.
It's just that everyone's destiny is different, and their paths are also different.
Getting back to the subject, although Wang Jinxuan has little combat experience, several of his mistresses taught him attentively, especially the method of defeating the strong with the weak.
This is also because there is no need to teach how to defeat the weak with the strong, just go ahead and do it.
Only when you are in a weak position, you need to use more skills to have a chance to turn defeat into victory.
Most of the time, it is difficult for people to match up with evenly matched opponents. The purpose of practice is to use skills to close the gap in strength with the strong ones.
He Dong and Qu Jing taught how to fight against giant beasts, while Bai Lianxian taught how to fight against humans. They were all based on experience.
It happens to be useful at this critical moment of life and death.
What we are fighting now is a large monster.
The opponent's body is huge, with rough skin and thick flesh.
Wang Jinxuan's advantage is that she is petite.
She saw the right opportunity. When the big snake pounced and bit her, she used her physical skills to the best of her ability to dodge the bite. At the same time, she flashed under the big snake's neck and thrust her sword upwards.
UI.
As long as you have an advantage in speed, even if you are weak in other aspects, you can make up for it with speed.
This is the key to defeating the weak with the strong!
Wang Jinxuan felt herself aroused. She felt that this wave of dodge and counterattack was very handsome. With a sword in hand, she had the courage to slay the blue dragon.
However, when the sword struck, Wang Jinxuan seemed to be chopped on an iron plate.
No, Wang Jinxuan might be able to cut through the iron plate, but cutting it on the big snake would have no effect other than feeling a powerful shock.
Not only that, when Wang Jinxuan's sword touched the scales of the big snake, not only was there a backlash, but there was also an extremely cold power of black ice.
Wang Jinxuan felt that his blood was frozen, so his movements were naturally a little slow, but the big snake just rushed past the snake's head, with its tail still behind.
It was swept over and Wang Jinxuan had no room to dodge.
Fortunately, she was not fighting alone. Seeing that Wang Jinxuan was in danger, Xiaocao did not care about a sneak attack. A water escaper appeared next to Wang Jinxuan and dragged Wang Jinxuan into the water with dangerous risks.
But the big snake's fighting ability is more than a hundred times better than theirs. From the very beginning, the purpose of attacking Wang Jinxuan was to lure Xiaocao out, and he has been waiting here for a long time.
The moment Xiaocao Shuitun appeared, the big snake sprayed water mist towards the area, and the water surface instantly froze, and Xiaocao and Wang Jinxuan were also frozen.
The battle was over only ten seconds after it started.
But after the ice sealed the two of them, the big snake made no further move, and just silently got into the water, while the sound of the big snake echoed on the water.
"If you achieve great things, the weak around you will only become a drag on you. When you figure it out, come and challenge me again. You have three more chances."
"..."
The ice melted quickly, but the two people soaking in the water were still silent.
"I'm sorry, I caused you trouble."
Wang Jinxuan said with great guilt.
Although Orochi's words hurt her self-esteem, she was even more grateful that Orochi did not hurt their feelings.
Otherwise, both Xiaocao and her would have died just now.
Wang Jinxuan originally wanted to take care of Xiaocao as a sister, but many times, it was Xiaocao who took care of her instead.
"No need to apologize, that was my own choice."
Xiaocao held Wang Jinxuan's hand without any intention of blaming her.
Wang Jinxuan still blamed himself and said: "If it weren't for me, you might have a chance to defeat it."
"It's not that urgent. If you hadn't tested the power of its black ice, I wouldn't have known its effect. If I had done it, I would have been captured by it, and the result would have been the same."
What Xiaocao said did make some sense. Wang Jinxuan was convinced and felt less guilty, but he still said to Xiaocao: "The big snake specially gave you the opportunity. I think it is an opportunity that belongs exclusively to you.
Next time you challenge it, I'd better not cause trouble!"
"I alone can never defeat it."
Xiaocao said firmly: "Sister Jinxuan, I believe you can help me."
Wang Jinxuan: "..."
She blushed a little.
This was the first time someone trusted her so much. Her father, brother, and even her master all thought she could only cause trouble.
"Xiaocao, you are so kind, I almost fell in love with you."
"..."
This is not what a thirteen-year-old child should hear.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xiaocao pretended not to hear and said: "Let's go back to the camp first, have a good rest, and come back after discussing countermeasures."
"Um!"
There is no need for Xiaocao to ask too much, just believe it, and Wang Jinxuan has no other choice.
She will try her best to improve herself instead of worrying that she will be a burden to Xiaocao.
The two left hand in hand, but they didn't know that there was a pair of eyes watching them underwater.
Those cold vertical pupils now had a bit of softness to them.
What it just said was actually only half of it.
It is true that those who achieve great things cannot surround themselves with weak people, but those who abandon their friends because they are weak will not be able to accomplish great things.
"She is worthy of being the chosen daughter. Although she is young, she has a delicate and clear heart. Maybe this time, she can really succeed..."
The big snake disappeared into the water, and the water surface became calm again.
Wang Jinxuan and Xiaocao quickly returned to the military camp and began to review.
Liu Jian thought Xiaocao was leaving, but unexpectedly the child went out for a walk and came back again.
He was naturally happy, but he pretended that nothing happened and fell asleep happily.
He originally planned to go to Xiaocao to contact Xiaocao the next day, but Xiaocao arrived before him.
"Father."
The title Xiaocao used was too formal, and still had a slight sense of alienation.
Liu Jian sighed in his heart, Xiaocao used to be so lively and cute, but now he has become taciturn and speaks too seriously.
This is all because of him as a father!
Putting away his emotions, Liu Jian quickly stood up and said, "Why are you here?"
"I want to ask my father about something."
Sure enough, she would come to him only if something happened.
Liu Jian felt a little disappointed, but soon cheered up. At least his daughter was willing to work with him now, and the relationship would eventually ease in the future.
"Just ask whatever you want to ask, and dad will definitely help you find out."
Xiaocao said respectfully: "Thank you, father. I want to know about the story of the river outside our military camp. What legends are there, especially about snakes."
Hao Duanduan suddenly asked why?
Liu Jian was puzzled, but thinking that Xiaocao and Wang Jinxuan left suddenly last night and then came back quietly. Maybe they had their own secrets, so he decided not to ask more questions, so as not to make his daughter unhappy.
"Okay, don't worry, dad will check it for you and find out everything in detail."
Xiaocao was polite and went back.
Liu Jian made a promise, and his action efficiency was naturally extremely high.
I asked old scholars, locals, county annals, and ancient books. It took me a day to compile a lot of information.
The stories he heard were also recorded on paper, and when he handed them to Xiaocao, there was a thick stack.
The river near the camp is called Yishui, or Yanshui in ancient times.
It is at this section that the Yi River flows into the Yangtze River.
There are indeed many legends about big snakes. Some say that there is a big snake in the water that eats people, and some say that there is a big snake in the water that acts as a river god.
These are all rumors, coming from folk tales, and Xiaocao and Wang Jinxuan cannot tell how much they are based on rumors.
But Liu Jian is indeed very powerful, and he even transferred the demon-killing diaries of Jingyesi from several nearby counties.
Unfortunately, these are of little use to them.
Of course, when they took this path in the first place, they just wanted to try it casually.
If you can find out information related to the big snake, you can naturally use this to deal with the big snake.
Know yourself and the enemy and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
At present, they only know that the big snake has a hard body, and if you hit it, it will be injured and frozen.
It also has a large-scale freezing technique.
Apart from these, they have no idea what other abilities the big snake has.
Unfortunately, these county records rumors were of no use to them in understanding the big snake.
However, Wang Jinxuan saw a quite interesting mythical story.
"Xiaocao, you said you heard someone crying. Is it a girl's cry?"
Xiaocao was not sure, but nodded anyway.
She seemed to have heard crying last night, and the voice must have been that of a woman.
But after Wang Jinxuan shouted, the crying disappeared.
Even Xiaocao felt that it was not very real and could not touch it accurately.
"After I shouted, the big snake came out. Do you think it is possible that the big snake was crying?"
Xiaocao shook his head, he didn't think so.
The voice was sad and sad, but the voice of the big snake was as thick as thunder, so it didn't look like the same person.
Wang Jinxuan thought he had made a major discovery, but seeing Xiaocao's behavior, his interest was not that high.
Xiaocao could only comfort him: "What did you find?"
Wang Jinxuan then said with great interest: "This mythical story is about Lin Jun and the Salt Water Goddess."
Their clue is not only the big snake, but also the woman's cry.
That's why Wang Jinxuan felt that he had seen a clue after reading this story.
Lin Jun is the leader of the Ba tribe. He passed by Yanyan while looking for a new home. The goddess of Yanyan fell in love with Linjun and asked him to settle down in the Yanyan tribe, but Linjun was unwilling.
The goddess of salt water and the tribesmen turned into flying insects to cover the sky, making it impossible for Lin Jun to lead the tribes forward.
Lin Jun pretended to have a lifelong agreement with the Salt Water Goddess, and even gave her a ribbon as a token of love.
The goddess was very happy and put on the ribbon, but when she and her tribe turned into flying insects, this special ribbon allowed Lin Jun to find her and shoot her to death with an arrow. The flying insects dispersed and saw the sky again.
Lin Jun then led his people to move forward and came to a place with a wide area and fertile soil.
This is the land of Bashu.
Coincidentally, the place where the army was stationed was at the end of Yishui River and on the edge of Bashu. Wang Jinxuan used his excellent imagination to imagine that if the mythical story is true, then this is the place where the goddess of salt water and Jun Lin are completely separated.
Therefore, the one crying is most likely the Salt Water Goddess.
Xiaocao nodded and said, "Sister Jinxuan's idea makes sense."
But what does this have to do with the big snake?
Xiaocao didn't expose it, but Wang Jinxuan realized it after being proud for a while.
"Forget it, it's useless to look at such irrelevant things."
After that, she threw the scroll aside and read other information.
She must defeat the big snake, not only to prove that she is not a weakling, but also to prove that she is worthy of Xiaocao's trust!
The two read the legend all night, but they couldn't find any clues that were definitely related to the big snake.
"It seems that taking shortcuts is no longer possible."
Wang Jinxuan read folklore all night and his eyes narrowed.
Although she is a practitioner, she will still get tired if her strength does not improve.
"In that case, let's train for combat. We have three chances. Next time, even if we lose, we have to test out its weaknesses."
Xiaocao's fighting spirit was high, and Wang Jinxuan also became energetic.
"Come on, fight!"
While Lin Yi's first and second disciples were fighting hard, Lin Yi also ended his battle and helped He Dong practice well all night.
He Dong had inhaled enough yang energy and was exhausted physically and mentally. He collapsed on the bed limply. If it weren't for the even sound of breathing, it would have made people think that she was dying.
It is indeed impossible.
Ji Yi didn't ask her to get up. He stayed with her for a while and then walked out of the ghost world by himself.
He still has many things to be busy with and cannot indulge in the love between his children for long.
But Ji Yi also secretly made a vow in his heart.
When he conquers all the enemies in the world, he will be extremely affectionate with several ladies.
All the tricks developed by demons and demons must be used!
With these thoughts in mind, Ji Yi suddenly realized a problem.
"By the way, you have been hiding in my body. Have you seen everything I do?"
