68: The smell of water monster
Carp Demon! Carp Demon! When are you going to make your move?
Wei Xun always felt that Fox Elder had some ulterior motives and just wanted to leave this place quickly, waiting for the Carp Demon to launch an attack.
However, it was already past noon on the third day, and there was still no movement on the mountain, which made Wei Xun feel like he had been tricked.
It made sense; there were only twenty or thirty water demons in Bi Shui Lake, and even if there was an underground river leading directly to Black Tiger Mountain, they couldn't succeed on their own.
As for what the lobster said earlier, that the Carp Demon went to Jiaolong Lake to find helpers, it was probably nonsense.
It seemed he would have to find an opportunity to sneak down the mountain, then go to Bi Shui Lake, and figure out a way to snatch Xiong Er back and escape.
But at this moment, a roar came from down the mountain.
Upon hearing the sound, Wei Xun immediately perked up and turned to look in the direction from which the sound came.
Wasn't that the direction of the broken cliff?
Had the Carp Demon truly attacked?
Thinking of this, Wei Xun instantly became excited.
It was currently afternoon, which, if converted to normal time, would be around two or three in the afternoon.
At this time, most of the monsters were taking a nap, and many others had gone down the mountain and definitely wouldn't be able to rush back in a short time.
Choosing this moment to launch a sneak attack was indeed the most suitable timing.
"What's going on?!" Wei Xun wasn't the only one who heard the sound; the Chicken Demon and Leopard Demon, who had been napping nearby, also heard the commotion.
"What happened down the mountain?" The Leopard Demon scratched his head, his face bewildered, his eyes hazy as if he hadn't fully woken up.
"I'll go down and take a look!" The Chicken Demon said, and his arms transformed into wings, preparing to fly down the mountain.
But at this moment, Fox Elder suddenly walked out of his Immortal Cave: "None of you three are to go anywhere! Stay here and guard!"
Hearing Fox Elder's words, the Chicken Demon could only nod obediently, and his wings transformed back into arms.
Wei Xun immediately used Shunfeng Wood Ear and Ten Mile Tracking to investigate in the direction from which the sound came.
It was indeed the scent of water demons!
Down the mountain, the monsters who had just woken up were now all bewildered.
A group of water demons, armed with long forks, surged out from unknown whereabouts and charged directly up the mountain, unstoppable along the way; for a time, no demon soldier team could stop them.
And for some unknown reason, this group of water demons seemed very familiar with the routes on Black Tiger Mountain.
The leading monster was precisely the Red Armor Carp Demon, but behind him, besides the twenty or so Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals from Bi Shui Lake, there were also many other fish demons like turtles, toads, and loaches.
At a glance, there were at least forty to fifty water demons.
The sudden attack threw the entire Black Tiger Mountain into chaos.
Many of the monsters down the mountain were the lowest-level Little Ones of Black Tiger Mountain, completely defenseless against the surprise attack and crushed by the water demons all the way.
They suffered heavy casualties instantly.
But as this group of water demons advanced to the halfway point of the mountain, Black Tiger Mountain finally reacted.
Many Instructors led their elite subordinates to begin blocking them.
And the Tiger King, who had been sleeping soundly in his cave, embracing his consorts, was now awakened by the noise.
"What's happening down the mountain? It's so noisy!" The Tiger King looked displeased.
Just then, the Crow Demon suddenly ran into the cave: "Reporting, Great King, a group of water demons has attacked from down the mountain!"
"What?" The Tiger King immediately became enraged upon hearing this: "Where did these water demons come from?"
"This Little One is not quite clear, they suddenly appeared from the broken cliff!" The Crow Demon quickly replied.
"Water demons?" The Tiger King narrowed his eyes: "How dare they set their sights on my Black Tiger Mountain? Who gave them the courage?"
As the Tiger King spoke, he immediately sat up from the stone bed and spread his arms, waiting for the female demons to help him dress: "Bring me my armor. Since they've delivered themselves to my doorstep, I might as well taste some fresh seafood!"
Meanwhile, the resisting Instructors had stopped the group of water demons charging up the mountain at the mountainside, and both sides engaged in a fierce melee.
The Red Armor Carp Demon, wielding a long spear, fought against the Instructor named Mad Scorpion, but he did not fall into a disadvantage; instead, he continuously suppressed Mad Scorpion.
Although the Carp Demon was a water demon, he could surprisingly unleash such impressive strength even on land.
"Where did these water demons come from, daring to attack my Black Tiger Mountain!" Just as the Instructors were also becoming somewhat powerless to resist, a hoarse voice suddenly came from the sky.
Vulture General suddenly descended from the sky and swung a crescent scimitar from beneath his wide black feathered robe, striking at the Carp Demon.
The Carp Demon spat out a torrent of water from his mouth, sending Mad Scorpion, who was fighting him, flying, then turned and horizontally raised his long spear to block the blade that Vulture was slashing from the side.
However, after blocking one strike, the Carp Demon was immediately sent flying by the immense force, but then he managed to land steadily after flipping half a turn in the air.
"Old Baldy!" The moment he saw Vulture General, the Carp Demon's eyes instantly erupted with intense killing intent.
"Do we know each other?" The Vulture Demon looked at the Carp Demon's hateful gaze, suddenly feeling confused.
"We don't know each other!" The Carp Demon gritted his teeth and said, "Ten years ago, by Bi Shui Lake, you were on the verge of death and saved by a Green Armor Carp Demon. Have you forgotten?"
Hearing the reminder, Vulture General slightly frowned: "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten that idiot!"
"My elder brother kindly saved your life, and you repaid his kindness with enmity by killing him!" The Carp Demon pointed his long spear at Vulture's head and fiercely said, "Today, I am here to avenge him!"
"Not only was your elder brother an idiot, but it seems you are even more foolish than him!" The Vulture Demon snorted coldly: "Do you really think a few stinky fish and rotten shrimp like you can set your sights on our Black Tiger Mountain?"
"My only goal is to kill you!" The Carp Demon slowly spoke: "And I also want to reclaim what you stole from my elder brother!"
"Something?" Vulture General couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "Are you talking about that white jade coral?"
Ten years ago, by Bi Shui Lake.
A Green Armor Carp Demon, who looked almost identical to the Red Armor Carp Demon, discovered a bald monster on the verge of death in the Forest by the lake.
Because he was severely injured, Green Armor pulled out an milky-white, jade-like coral from his embrace and infused Spiritual Qi into it, releasing a burst of white light that enveloped Vulture's body.
This white light seemed to have healing properties, quickly healing the injuries Vulture had sustained.
And Green Armor also became extremely weak due to the excessive consumption of Spiritual Qi.
However, unexpectedly, after Vulture woke up, he set his sights on the white jade coral and, taking advantage of Green Armor's inattention, killed him and stole the white jade coral.
This scene was coincidentally witnessed by another water demon in a nearby Forest, who then immediately returned to inform Red Armor.
By the time Red Armor arrived, it was already too late; the Vulture Demon had already escaped, and Green Armor had stopped breathing.
"Hand over the white jade coral, and I'll leave your corpse intact!" Red Armor fiercely shouted at Vulture.
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you all!" At this moment, Vulture sneered disdainfully: "That white jade coral was long ago ground into powder by me, made into a Medicinal Pill, and swallowed into my stomach."
"What?" Red Armor immediately became enraged and embarrassed upon hearing this, stomping his foot heavily on the ground and thrusting his long spear straight at Vulture's throat.
"A water demon who hasn't even broken through to the Pure Yang Realm, still wants to kill me?" Vulture General looked at the spear Red Armor thrust and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, then he swung the scimitar in his hand, cutting out a red light blade aura, once again sending Red Armor flying.
