After more than two hours of flying, there was a faint meandering river in the vast forest under Chu Yurong's feet. It weaved through the forest. Yan Hongling searched for the place she remembered. She crossed a high mountain and flew into the valley.
"Do you have any impression? Is this the place?”Chu Yurong asked.
"It's probably around here. Let's go down and take a look first.”
Even without Chu Yurong's explanation, Yan Hongling understood that in such a desolate place, vicious birds could rush out at any time. It was very dangerous to ride a spiritual bird to search at a low altitude.
After landing on the ground, Yan Hongling pondered for a moment. She wrote something on a piece of bamboo with her fingertips and tied it to the crane's leg. She thought that it was necessary to let her master know about the pottery sword. The crane leaped into the sky and flew away.
After walking and stopping for half an hour, the two of them arrived at a pool.
"I found it here. It was on the shore last time.”Yan Hongling stared at the pond and said.
Chu Yurong did not hesitate and sensed the traces of the horned crocodiles in the water.
"It's not in the water. The water isn't deep. There's no horned crocodile you mentioned.”
"Not in the water?"
"However, it's very likely that it's not far away. Although the Horned Crocodile has strong explosive power, it's slow to travel long distances. It won't migrate easily without any major changes.”
"I didn't expect that Senior Brother would have such an understanding of ferocious birds and beasts. There's a low slope over there, so the cave should be there.”Yan Hongling pointed to the front right.
Chu Yurong was not wasting her time in the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Books. Besides, she was on duty in the spirit beast forest in the past. It was impossible for her not to understand it.
In less than fifteen minutes, the two of them passed through a forest and arrived at the foot of the slope. They found a cave entrance. Compared to the surrounding grass, the area around the cave entrance was much sparser.
"There are crocodile footprints all around. It must be inside.”Yan Hongling looked serious.
"This cave is so big and so deep. It's very strange…it doesn't look like a cave for ordinary horned crocodiles.”Chu Yurong felt that the entrance of the cave did not match the habits of this beast.
Yan Hongling nodded and said,"
"The situation in the cave is unknown. Let's try to lure it out first.”
Yan Hongling was already prepared. She placed a piece of meat at the entrance of the cave and took out a bottle. She poured some spiritual liquid on the meat, and a fishy smell immediately pervaded the air. The two of them retreated behind a big tree. After another 15 minutes, Yan Hongling frowned when she saw that there was still no movement at the cave entrance.
"I have no choice. It seems that I can only enter the cave and take a look.”
Chu Yurong also nodded in agreement. The two of them entered the cave with abnormal vigilance.
As soon as he entered the cave, he felt that the cave was a little damp. Water droplets were condensing on the top of the cave, and the ground was tilting downward. Yan Hongling ignited a ball of flame in her hand and then threw a fireball inside. After a while, Yan Hongling felt that the flame had been extinguished. She had not reached the end and could only continue walking inside.
Gradually, the cave started to dry up. Yan Hongling also released a fireball to scout the way every time she walked a certain distance.
"This is Fire Spirit Rock?" Yan Hongling touched the ore on the cave wall. The ore was emitting a red light.
The Fire Spirit Rock contained rich fire spiritual force. It was naturally better for cultivators with fire-type spiritual roots to cultivate with Fire Spirit Rock than ordinary spirit stones.
"No wonder the cave is getting hotter.”Chu Yurong seemed to have understood something,"I'm afraid there are still many Fire Spirit Stones in the depths."”
Yan Hongling did not stand on ceremony. She carefully knocked on the Fire Spirit Rock and put it away. Chu Yurong did not say much. The Fire Spirit Rock was much more useful to her.
After nearly an hour, Yan Hongling had obtained more than ten pieces of Fire Spirit Rock. However, at this moment, the two of them had astonished expressions as a fork appeared in front of them.
"There are traces of a horned crocodile crawling on the right, and a faint red light on the left.”Chu Yurong analyzed.
"The left side…I guess it's because there's a large amount of Fire Spirit Rock. However, the purpose of this trip is more important. Let's go to the right side and take a look first.”
After saying that, Yan Hongling threw out another fireball to scout the way and entered the right passageway.
In less than 15 minutes, Yan Hongling had harvested a few more Fire Spirit Rocks. The entrance of the cave suddenly became four to five times bigger. Yan Hongling threw out a fireball, and in the next moment, a cow's cry sounded. It was abnormally angry.
"It's at the bottom of the cave.”Yan Hongling said hurriedly and took out Tao Jian's flying knife. The flying knife shot forward. Chu Yurong also summoned her flying knife and waited.
At this moment, a lizard with a body as thick as a bathtub appeared in front of them. Its teeth were sharp, and there were two horns behind its eyes. Its skin was like rock. The flying knife slashed across the crocodile's head, leaving a shallow wound. It did not seem to have broken the crocodile's skin.
Chu Yurong controlled the spiritual sword to slash. The horned crocodile seemed to know that the flying sword's grade was not low, so it used its horn to block it fiercely.
" How did it reach late-stage Tier 2?" Yan Hongling said in surprise.
A low-level demonic beast like the Horned Crocodile could originally only grow to middle-stage Tier 2. The last time Yan Hongling discovered it, it was still middle-stage Tier 2, and its body was far from this big.
However, the horned crocodile didn't give them any time to discuss this. It only exploded with momentum and opened its mouth to bite.
"Not good." Chu Yurong was already extremely vigilant. She summoned the bowl-shaped spiritual artifact to its maximum size and blocked in front of the two of them.
The horned crocodile bit down on the huge bowl.
" Crack!" A crack appeared on the edge of the bowl spirit artifact, and many cracks appeared on the surface of the bowl.
Chu Yurong controlled the huge bowl and blocked it firmly. The horned crocodile seemed to be angered by the huge bowl and wanted to bite the huge bowl into pieces again. Yan Hongling recovered from her shock and threw out a net from her sleeve. It grew bigger and bigger in the air and covered the horned crocodile. The net quickly tightened around its body. The horned crocodile could feel the net tightening around its body, so it gave up on attacking the huge bowl and twisted its body with all its might.
Chu Yurong did not hesitate when she saw this. She drove the flying sword to stab out and stabbed into the horned crocodile's side. Yan Hongling also stabbed the flying sword into the horned crocodile's abdomen. The Horned Crocodile let out a cry like a bull. Flames were ignited around its body, trying to burn the Spiritual Nexus.
"Senior brother, this beast wants to burn my Spirit Net to break free. I'll restrain this beast, and you kill it with all your might.”Yan Hongling said hurriedly.
Chu Yurong knew that the water spiritual energy in the cave was thin, so she could only use her full strength at this moment. Chu Yurong condensed a water ball the size of a head with both hands. She did not dare to delay for too long and pushed both hands out to smash at the horned crocodile.
Bang! The Horned Crocodile was only slightly dazed for a few seconds before it twisted its body again. Seeing this opportunity, Yan Hongling formed a hand seal and pointed. The jade hairpin on her head disappeared. She heard the horned crocodile wail and the jade hairpin was inserted into one of its eyes. Chu Yurong seized the opportunity. The flying sword entered the mouth of the crocodile and pierced through its tail. At this point, the crocodile only struggled for a moment before it collapsed on the ground.
"It's all thanks to senior brother that we were able to capture this beast.”Yan Hongling heaved a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect this late rank 2 spirit beast to be so ferocious. If the two of us were to face it alone, we would probably die in its stomach.”Chu Yurong also felt lucky. It was just that the bowl-shaped spiritual artifact that her master had left for her was seriously damaged, so it was a pity.
After resting for a moment, Chu Yurong held the spiritual sword in her hand and cut open the space between the eyes of the horned crocodile. She took out a warm demon core and handed it to Yan Hongling.
"Thank you, senior apprentice-brother. I'll give you all the other materials on this beast. When we return to the sect, I'll definitely give you half of the Fire Spirit Rock's worth of Spirit Stones.”
Yan Hongling said with some embarrassment. She also knew that demon cores were the most precious. Chu Yurong had only obtained some demon beast materials and had even damaged a spirit weapon. It was really not worth it.
