Chapter 60: Mountain Valley Boundary
Wetland plain.
"Where are you going!" Wu Rui chased after the escaping giant alligator, while from time to time emitting a true energy shot downwards, which caused some trouble for the escaping giant alligator, but did not cause it any substantial harm, and instead stimulated it to run even faster.
Giant alligator met Wu Rui, can't help but say unlucky, escaped for a whole hour, Wu Rui still chased after it relentlessly. If it could speak, the giant alligator would definitely say: if time could be turned back, it absolutely wouldn't have eaten that water bird...
"Rooooaaaar!" The giant alligator in the water let out a stifled growl, swung its tail heavily and awkwardly, and slid into a mountain valley surrounded by water ahead.
"Uh... this is bad, we've entered the alligator's den!" Just as Wu Rui was about to follow them in, his scalp suddenly felt a chill. It turned out that inside this valley, there were densely packed giant alligators, with at least thousands of them visible to the naked eye. At this moment, these guys all turned their heads to look over, and their lantern-like eyes, which emitted a red glow, stood out especially in the dark night, like pairs of light bulbs.
Under such an atmosphere, Wu Rui didn't have the heart to care about that guy's provocation and smiled wryly, wanting to leave.
But this time, Wu Rui almost got scared into falling into the ditch, and behind him, there were already over a thousand giant alligators surrounding him, each with red eyes staring at him, their expressions unfriendly.
"What's going on here?!" Wu Rui couldn't help but burst out in anger!
"Puff puff puff......" However, as soon as he opened his mouth, countless water arrows shot up into the sky and flew straight at him.
"Damn it!" Wu Rui cursed loudly and quickly hid into the valley.
But who would have thought that this one dodge would not be tight, but it directly provoked the giant alligator inside, each of which let out a shrill cry and shot water arrows, the rain of arrows in the sky was magnificent, but unfortunately Wu Rui is now too busy escaping to appreciate.
"Hmph...!" Due to a momentary lapse, Wu Rui's long gown was directly pierced by two water arrows, although it wasn't his body that had two holes in it, Wu Rui couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
"How dare you!" Wu Rui cursed loudly, but in the end, he decided not to provoke them anymore and quickly rose to a height of tens of meters, where the giant alligators could not attack.
"It's strange, these alligators are clearly not demonic beasts, how can they have such strong power? And they can even spit water..." Looking at the pair of red 'lanterns' below, Wu Rui's heart was filled with shock and uncertainty.
It's clear that these guys have mutated, but why did they mutate? Wu Rui opened up his divine sense to observe the environment of the valley and soon discovered that something was off. The shrubs in this valley were lush, accurately speaking, they were luxuriant to the point of being terrifying, just like the crocodiles in the water, almost as if they had mutated.
"This valley is problematic!" Wu Rui muttered to himself, continuing to examine it with his divine sense.
Later, it was discovered that the giant crocodile in the valley was guarding a place, which was a stone cave, a water-filled stone cave. Inside, a strong earth-based spiritual energy was emitted, but when Wu Rui wanted to insert his divine consciousness into it, he was unexpectedly isolated by something, a large land boundary.
"How strange!" Wu Rui's eyebrows furrowed deeply, and he was also drawn in by interest. At this point, even if the giant alligator brothers let him go, Wu Rui probably wouldn't be willing to turn around and leave again.
Wu Rui made a silent vow to himself and quietly descended into the valley below, he had a premonition that there was some kind of treasure inside.
The outer layer of giant crocodiles did not discover Wu Rui, but as he continued to dive deeper, the stronger ones inside seemed to have sensed something and were slightly uneasy, twisting their bodies and looking around, but they could not lock onto the position of the incoming enemy. This made Wu Rui let out a slight sigh of relief and continue diving deeper.
"Ah……" However, the good times didn't last long. The giant alligator in the innermost circle seemed to be very powerful. Although Wu Rui couldn't be seen, it had roughly locked onto a position. Several sharp spikes suddenly condensed into shape from the water, and one of them happened to be right under Wu Rui's feet, rapidly shooting up.
"Earth-based magic!" Wu Rui almost exclaimed out loud, hastily dodging to the side.
It's nothing but a water arrow, after all, it was spat out from the giant crocodile's mouth, but this time it's an earth thorn, how can Wu Rui not be shocked!
Wu Rui's sudden movement, although the stealth technique on his body was not broken, caused a disturbance that allowed the surrounding giant alligators to lock onto his position. They all let out a shrill cry and launched an attack, with water arrows and earth thorns intertwining as they shot straight into the void.
Wu Rui gritted her teeth and charged forward instead of retreating. Her body swayed once before she rushed towards the entrance of the underwater cave.
"Ahh...!" As soon as Wu Rui's intentions were discovered, the valley instantly fell into chaos. Even several giant alligators that knew earth-based magic slipped into the water and tightly blocked the entrance to the underwater cave, clearly worried about enemy infiltration.
At the same time, a large number of giant crocodiles suddenly rushed towards Wu Rui, and Hao Ran showed a desperate attitude.
"Die!" Wu Rui's fist was suddenly filled with the true essence of the Golden Elixir stage, and he struck it straight at the giant alligator that was pouncing on him.
"Crack!"
The giant crocodile's sharp teeth in its huge mouth suddenly shattered, and then the entire head was smashed by Wu Rui's punch, with flesh flying everywhere and a bloody scene.
At this moment, a burst of objects in the giant crocodile's brain made Wu Rui's eyes shine. This was an oval-shaped beast dan, containing a strong earth-based demon yuan, wasn't it similar to the one that burst out from the giant snake's body?
But different from before, the True Yuan that burst out of the giant snake's body was even more powerful, its grade obviously higher.
Inspiration struck, and Wu Rui took out the beast dan from the Minna ring.
"Roar...!" As the beast dan appeared, the giant crocodile group in the valley seemed to be intimidated, changing from their previous ferocity, and all retreated backwards with a hint of unwillingness in their eyes.
"Could this beast dan also come from the giant alligator? And it's still the emperor? But how did it get on the giant snake's body?" Wu Rui had many doubts in her heart, but she didn't think much about it. She gave herself a water-repelling spell and dove into the water, quickly swimming towards the stone cave underwater.
The stone cave is connected to the mountain body, and it seems to be a naturally formed karst cave. The entrance of the cave has an earth-based boundary that isolates biological entry, and Wu Rui's divine consciousness was also isolated by this earth-based boundary before.
This barrier is neither strong nor weak. If Wu Rui didn't have a Golden Elixir cultivation, if he wasn't a Cultivator of Truth, he wouldn't be able to enter at all.
"Earth Escape!" Wu Rui mobilized his entire body's true yuan, smoothly escaping into it. In fact, this earth-based boundary he could only enter by using Earth Escape; otherwise, if he wanted to forcefully break through, Wu Rui's Golden Elixir stage cultivation seemed still not enough.
"Ah!" Wu Rui felt his body go heavy and then he heavily fell to the ground, directly landing in dog shit, an indescribable embarrassment.
But at this time, Wu Rui had no time to care about it, because he discovered a shocking problem, his own strength seemed to be sealed... He was frightened and crawled up from the ground in a hurry, observing the environment around him.
It's not a cave of dissolution, nor is it underwater, but a vast gray space with no sky and no earth, like an independent world.
Wu Rui was not deceived by this phenomenon, he knew that everything in front of him should be an illusion within the boundary, it's just because the level is very high, so it looks like the real world. Looking around, Wu Rui found that there was an object floating in mid-air in front of him.
Able to form such a strong natural boundary, and yet able to seal one's own strength, this thing is certainly not ordinary. With excitement and a hint of vigilance, Wu Rui walked over.
"What's this?" However, when Wu Rui saw clearly what was floating in mid-air, he felt like an idiot.
