Plop!
With a loud bang, the Horned Scale Duck fell directly into the lake. The huge impact caused the lake water to splash up high.
"Roar!"
The Horned Scale Duck's quacking turned into a roar, as if it were a ferocious beast struggling in the lake. Du Feng took a closer look. It turned out that it was entangled by a water snake and was currently fighting. After its transformation, its combat strength was very fierce, but the water snake was not to be trifled with. The two sides were locked in a fierce battle.
"Let's go. We need to leave this place as soon as possible."
Du Feng told the Sword Sovereign that it would be better to fly as far away as possible. He didn't know what kind of lake it was, but the demonic beasts that lived there were too dangerous. This time, it could be said that they had tricked the Horned Scale Duck. If it weren't for the fact that its wings were restricted, it definitely wouldn't have fallen so miserably into the lake.
In fact, Du Feng was still thinking about another problem. After the Horned Scale Duck transformed, its neck extended and its stomach became smaller. Did that mean that its devouring ability disappeared? In other words, its devouring ability and biting ability couldn't exist at the same time.
When it swallowed, it was like a fat duck. It could open its mouth and suck crazily, but its body was cumbersome and not good at attacking. When the horns grew out, its body would become more agile and its attack power would be sufficient, but it would not be able to continue devouring.
If that was the case, the Blood Splitting Flying Sword could take the opportunity to attack it. Du Feng also thought of taking the opportunity to attack, but seeing that the Horned Scale Duck was already fighting with the water snake, he couldn't be bothered to intervene. Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, it was best to retreat.
When he and the Sword Emperor flew back into the sky, the battle below was still ongoing. The Horned Scale Duck struggled fiercely in the water, while the large water snake refused to let it go. The two sides fought fiercely, and it was difficult to determine the victor for a while.
The Horned Scale Duck finally lost its patience. Its body suddenly became fat, pushing the water snake away a little. It opened its mouth wide and began to suck in everything around it. A large amount of river water was sucked into its stomach, along with many small fish and shrimps.
The Horned Scale Duck was a peculiar creature. When it was in its inflated state, its devouring ability seemed to have surpassed all the other Demonic Beasts in this space. But at the same time, his body wasn't that strong, so he couldn't break free from the water snake's entanglement for a long time.
Attracted by the suction force, the water snake's body began to tremble. It could only cling onto the Horned Scale Duck's body. Otherwise, it was very likely that it would be sucked into the duck's mouth. Just like that, the two sides clashed. At the same time, the surrounding river water was constantly being sucked away.
As the river decreased, a huge whirlpool formed nearby. Those small fishes and shrimps were naturally not spared, but a huge crocodile was actually brought over by the current.
Du Feng was very curious. He wanted to see how the Horned Scale Duck would devour demonic beasts that were larger than itself. The crocodile opened its mouth wide and made a cracking sound. It swallowed the Horned Scale Duck and the Water Snake together.
He chewed on it a few times before swallowing it. Then, the suction disappeared, and the whirlpool in the water gradually stopped spinning, finally returning to normal.
Ah, it actually ended so easily. I thought there would be some big battle. No matter how powerful the Horned Scale Duck was, it could even create a huge whirlpool inside it. However, its body was not as strong as the crocodile's. Once its body was eaten, its special ability would cease to exist.
It was just like how some human warriors knew some kind of powerful spell that could burn mountains and boil seas. However, its body was very weak, and it was stabbed to death by a sword or even a punch. Even if it had a powerful spell, it could not use it.
"Interesting, there really is a counter to everything in this world."
Before leaving, Du Feng sighed. The water birds were afraid of the Horned Scale Duck. The Horned Scale Duck was entangled by the Water Snake, but at the same time, the water birds were the Water Snake's nemesis. They were both Level 18 demonic beasts. In fact, it was hard to say which one was stronger. The main thing was that they restrained each other.
Of course, the strongest creature in this lake was still the Giant Crocodile. However, the Crocodile could not fly, nor did it have any special ability. Therefore, it was not a threat to Du Feng and the Sword Emperor. After enjoying the battle, the two of them flew off into the distance with satisfaction.
So where were they going? It was the direction of Hearthstone City. Although Du Feng did not go back with the Fu Clan elders, it did not mean that he would not go to Hearthstone City. After all, Su Susu was still hiding in the Qi Boting Hotel, and she wanted to meet Elder Linghu again.
When they were close to Hearthstone City, Du Feng contacted Elder Linghu using a voice transmission amulet. He would ask the Sword Emperor to disguise himself and sneak into Hearthstone City with his necklace so that Su Susu could hide inside.
Then, under Elder Linghu's cover, the Sword Emperor would be able to leave Hearthstone City and bring Su Susu out.
As for why Du Feng did not go in himself, it was because the city had already recorded his identity. Whether he entered or left the city, he would be discovered by the Fu Clan. They were now targeting Du Feng, so it was not convenient for him to move around. Everything was going according to plan, but the moment he contacted Elder Linghu, something went wrong.
"What? Su Susu is not in Qi Boting Court? The Fu Clan took her away?"
Hearing this result, Du Feng exploded on the spot. The Fu Clan had gone too far. After all, Su Susu was living in Qi Boting Court, and Fu Xi had successfully completed the family mission. Why did they have to take her away?
"Don't panic, listen to me."
Hearing that, Old Master Linghu knew that Du Feng was really angry. Therefore, he decided to come out from Hearthstone City and explain it to Elder Linghu personally.
Actually, if Su Susu was living in Qi Boting Court, the Fu Clan would not be able to go in and take her away. But the problem was that Qi Boting Court had chased Su Susu out. Why was she chased out? Because Su Susu had made a mistake.
She had obtained a Demon Egg, and Du Feng had helped to nourish it with a drop of his blood. That egg was bought to protect the Su Family, and its grade was not very high. Even if it grew up, it would only be a big demon, which was equivalent to an Earth Immortal Stage Martial Artist.
A small Earth Immortal Stage Demon Beast would not be a threat in Hearthstone City. Even if it was wrong to raise a Demon Beast, there was no need to chase her out. If that was the case, then Qi Boting Court was too unkind.
The problem was with that Demon Egg. Maybe it was because he had bought it wrong, or maybe the drop of blood had changed it. It had been hidden for many years, but it had suddenly hatched this morning.
As soon as the demonic beast hatched, it emitted a monstrous demonic aura. The demonic aura surged out from the top of Perching Pavilion. Even the city guards on the city walls could see it. Even if Qi Boting Court wanted to help Su Susu hide it, they would not be able to do so, so they handed her over.
Because it was against the rules to raise a Demon Beast, Su Susu was taken away by the Governor's Mansion. Being taken away by the Governor's Mansion was equivalent to being taken away by the Fu Clan. They had failed to deal with Fu Xi, and they had also failed to deal with Du Feng. This time, they finally had Su Susu under control.
