He didn't know what kind of ability the monster had, and he didn't know how strong it was. Of course, he couldn't act rashly at this time. As for Fei Yangsheng, he could only let him suffer a little more. If he was lucky, Lin Yi might be able to save his life, but if the monster didn't show up, then he could only blame himself for being unlucky. After all, he couldn't let Lin Yi risk his life again and again to save an outsider like him, right?
Fortunately, the heavens were on his side this time. The monster couldn't help but make another move when it saw that Lin Yi wasn't moving at all. A hand covered in scales shot out of the water abruptly, and the situation was exactly the same as before.
This time, its target was Lin Yi's ankle. Its intention was obvious. It wanted to drag Lin Yi into the river just like it did to Fei Yangsheng. As long as he was in the water, it would be its world.
Its movement was fast. Not only did it come out of the water abruptly, but it also didn't cause any ripples after it came out of the water. Its speed was also amazing. Even if an ordinary person wanted to guard against it, they wouldn't have the strength to do so. Unfortunately, its opponent was Lin Yi.
Lin Yi had at least ten ways to deal with its sneak attack, and this time, to ensure that nothing went wrong, he used the most unsolvable method.
The hand had clearly grabbed Lin Yi's ankle, but the next moment, it suddenly grabbed nothing. Then, Lin Yi appeared next to it, raised his hand, and a blue electric arc appeared. Taking advantage of the electric shock, he pulled the monster out of the water.
He didn't know that he hadn't seen it, but he was shocked when he saw the monster's strange appearance.
At first glance, he looked like a four or five-year-old child, but his entire body was covered in dense black scales, and there was a medium-sized turtle shell on his back. There was a pit on the top of his head, and there was a lot of water in the pit. Anyone would be shocked by such an appearance.
"Kappa?" This thought suddenly flashed in Lin Yi's mind. The image in front of him was exactly the same as the water monsters in folklore. Kappa was also called Water Tiger, and it was a water monster recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica. However, he had always thought that it was just a legend. He didn't expect to meet a living one here today.
"You know me?" The Kappa murmured, and at the same time, it stared at Lin Yi with great vigilance.
Strictly speaking, it was an amphibious creature. The water was its world, and it could also move freely on land. Obviously, it was only in the water that it was confident. Now that it was suddenly grabbed by Lin Yi, it was extremely nervous. Looking at its posture, it didn't seem to want to attack Lin Yi, but to find a way to escape.
"Hehe, it really is the legendary Kappa. This Primordial Trial has truly broadened my horizons." Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. First it was Goumang, and now it was the Kappa. The Ancient Trial really lived up to its reputation. It really felt like returning to the Ancient Era.
"Human, what do you want?" The Kappa still stared at Lin Yi with great vigilance.
"Nothing, I'm just a little curious." Lin Yi appeared very relaxed. In fact, there was really nothing to be nervous about. Before this Kappa was caught, he was really nervous for a while. After all, something that could hide from his divine sense was definitely not easy to deal with. However, there was no need to worry now, because this guy was at most a Foundation Establishment level spirit beast. It couldn't pose any real threat to Lin Yi.
As for why it could hide from Lin Yi's divine sense, it was most likely the Kappa's innate ability. After all, this guy was an existence equivalent to a River God in some legends.
"Leave this place, leave the Hundred Herb Garden, or you will regret it!" The Kappa threatened. Unfortunately, its body was too small, and it was dragged up by Lin Yi, so this threat was not much of a deterrent.
"So this is the Hundred Herb Garden." Lin Yi nodded, looked it up and down and said, "Then, are you the master of this place?"
"I'm not, I'm just the gardener here. If my master finds out, you're dead. Hurry up and leave this place, human!" The Kappa tried to drive him away again.
"Who is your master?" Lin Yi ignored it and continued to ask with great interest.
"My master is …" The Kappa suddenly paused. Its eyes blinked, and the water that had accumulated in the depression on its head suddenly soared into the sky. Then, it poured down like rain. As soon as its body came into contact with the water, it immediately melted into nothingness.
"It looks quite simple and honest, but I didn't expect it to be so cunning." Lin Yi shook his head. His figure flashed and suddenly appeared in front of the right side. Without hesitation, he used a Thousand Frenzied Kicks.
Bang! Accompanied by a muffled sound, a thin figure suddenly appeared on the tip of Lin Yi's foot. Then, without any suspense, it flew out and fell heavily into a pile of spirit herbs dozens of meters away.
"You … How can you see me?" The Kappa didn't care about its injury. Its face that was covered with thick scales squeezed out an extremely shocked expression. Disappearing into the water was the innate ability of the Kappa race. Even existences that were much stronger than them couldn't detect it. It didn't expect that it would fail in front of a human.
"Is it strange?" Lin Yi asked it back. It was true that this guy's ability to merge into the water was very good. Just like when it hid in the river, it could be said to be flawless. Even Lin Yi's divine sense couldn't detect it.
However, at least 50% of the reason was that the clear river water made people subconsciously become careless. Now that this factor was gone, even if Lin Yi couldn't completely lock on to its position, he could still find some clues and signs. This was enough for him.
The Kappa was obviously choked and couldn't speak. Just as Lin Yi judged, it wasn't a powerful existence. If it was a little stronger in the river, it would be enough to deal with most spirit beasts and human cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage. However, once it was on the ground, it was much weaker. In the end, the only trump card it could rely on was the innate ability of the Kappa race, disappearing into the water.
But now, Lin Yi had broken its innate ability, and it was stuck on the ground, unable to return to the river. Even if its psychological defense wasn't completely broken, it wasn't far from it.
"Human, what do you want?" The Kappa looked at Lin Yi with a little panic. It pointed at the rare spirit herbs around them and said, "If you leave now, I can let you take some spirit herbs with you. Otherwise, if you alarm the master, you're dead."
