Thanks to Chief Garland's care, he wasn't allowed to sleep in the open. Instead, he was given a tent.
In fact, it didn't matter if Yue Qianchou wanted a tent or not. When he refused, Garland looked at the moon in the sky and pointed to the lake. "Every time there is moonlight, the crocodiles in the lake will climb to the shore. It's dangerous for you to sleep outside the fence."
"Crocodiles?" Yue Qianchou said in disbelief, "Why do you bathe in the lake when there are crocodiles?"
Garland smiled. "These crocodiles are called moonlight crocodiles. They only come to the surface of the lake at night to breathe. They only climb to the shore when the moon appears. Usually, they hide deep under the lake. You will be fine as long as you sleep inside the fence. They rarely break through the fence. Even if they break through, the fence will block their movements. We can avoid them in advance. "
"Rarely?" Yue Qianchou frowned. "They can still break through! You live by the lake, aren't you worried at all? "At this point, he suddenly stood up and stared at the surface of the lake with bright eyes.
Others might not be able to see it, but with his cultivation, he saw a huge whirlpool in the distance. A huge silver-white figure dived into the lake. If it hadn't moved like this, it would have been difficult to distinguish the figure from the moonlight reflected from the lake. Yue Qianchou said in a deep voice, "Chief Garland, there is something in the lake."
Garland pulled his clothes and signaled him to sit down. She smiled. "Did you see something silver-white? That is the moonlight crocodile. In fact, it is safer for us to live by the lake. If bad people sneak in at night, they will often be attacked by the moonlight crocodiles hiding in the grass. Don't you think they are like the guardian of our people? "
Since she said this, Yue Qianchou sat down and relaxed his vigilance. He asked suspiciously, "Have the moonlight crocodiles never attacked you?"
Garland frowned and muttered, "I heard from the older generation that there was a Moonlight Crocodile attack about two or three hundred years ago. However, I haven't seen it since, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Two or three hundred years ago? Yue Qianchou's eyebrows twitched as a thought flashed through his mind. Could it have something to do with the Eastern Holy Land opening once every three hundred years?
However, this was only a momentary thought, and he himself could not be sure. Garland suddenly pulled him and pointed to the lake, indicating for him to pay attention.
Yue Qianchou looked over. In fact, he could see far more clearly than Garland. He saw ripples on the surface of the lake. A group of two to three-meter-long, silver-white, short-limbed fellows climbed onto the shore and dived into the surrounding bushes. There were hundreds of them. In fact, even if they didn't sneak in, the moonlight on their outer appearance would become a natural camouflage under the moonlight. As soon as they crawled into the bushes, they stopped moving. It was as if they were waiting for their prey. If humans or animals trespassed, they would really die under their ferocious fangs.
This made Yue Qianchou click his tongue in wonder. There were indeed all kinds of strange things in this world. There was actually a silver-white crocodile. However, he had some doubts. Was the huge white shadow in the lake really them? Could it be that they surged in a group and he did not see it clearly?
The moon was high in the sky. After indulging to their heart's content, the clansmen returned to rest. The bonfire turned into red charcoal, and the red light gradually faded and gradually extinguished. Inside the fence, there were a few more braziers for illumination. There were also a few clansmen holding torches and patrolling around at night.
Garland, who had left and returned, led Yue Qianchou into the fence and came to a small tent in the center. He said, "You can sleep here for the time being tonight! Don't run around if you have nothing to do, lest you get injured by the arrows of the night patrol clansmen. "
This tent could only sleep one person, but Yue Qianchou did not have any objections. In fact, it did not matter if he had a tent or not. At this moment, Boli, who was half-naked, came again. He directly carried Garland away and entered a tent at the foot of the mountain. Yue Qianchou listened to the panting and moaning sounds in the surrounding tents and shook his head speechlessly. They were really a clan that worshipped tradition. He had learned something new today. Then, he also went into the small tent.
The inside was covered with a layer of soft animal skin, so that people would not lie directly on the grass. Yue Qianchou lay inside with his arms as a pillow and his legs crossed. He was not sleepy at all. His mind was constantly thinking about Bi Changchun …
With Bi Changchun's character, he would definitely find an expert to fight when he came here, so the Immortal City would definitely be his goal, or it could be said to be his ultimate goal. Because the top experts of the Eastern Holy Land would definitely be there, and Bi Changchun would definitely not be able to resist such a temptation. In other words, as long as he went to the Immortal City, he would have a chance to find Bi Changchun and bring him back. However, he was unfamiliar with the place and did not have Bi Changchun's cultivation. If he rashly went to the Immortal City, he would definitely not have a good ending. Just think about it, he could not even deal with a Soul Formation expert, how could he deal with a group of immortals …
After thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up. If he could participate in the fence gathering, wouldn't he have a chance to go to the Immortal City?
"Bang … hualala …" Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound outside, followed by screams. Someone shouted, "Help!" Yue Qianchou was stunned. He could already hear the sound of people running out of the surrounding tents.
"The moonlight crocodiles are attacking us!" People kept shouting. Among them, there were the screams of women and the frightened neighing of fine horses. It was obvious that the outside was already in a mess. At first, Yue Qianchou thought they were doing some kind of ceremony, but he suddenly sat up and dashed outside the tent.
The moonlight shone like mercury. Many men raised torches, spears, and swords as they swarmed downwards. They saw hundreds of silver-white crocodiles rushing towards the crowd. The fence had long been knocked down by the crocodiles, and a few men were being dragged towards the lake by the crocodiles.
The arrows, the spears, and the swords couldn't effectively cut through the silver-white skin that was like armor. They almost didn't cause any damage to these fierce amphibians. The attacks of the cannibals were basically ineffective. Instead, they were once again bitten by the swarming crocodiles, and a few people were dragged back. The light of the torches flickered, and screams and screams mixed together, ringing through the night sky.
Yue Qianchou's eyes narrowed. He saw the huge white figure in the lake in the distance again, stirring up a huge whirlpool in the middle of the lake. Beside him, there were people rushing down with weapons, all trying to save their people who were being dragged and bitten by the crocodiles.
Yue Qianchou's face darkened. He still wanted to rely on the cannibals to bring him to the Immortal City. If the crocodiles killed most of the cannibals, then the cannibals wouldn't be able to participate in the fence gathering. Wouldn't that ruin his plan?
However, he didn't want to show his cultivation in front of the cannibals. As Yue Qianchou's eyes flashed, a young man holding a spear suddenly tripped by the rope of the tent. The spear that swayed in front of Yue Qianchou was pulled back by Yue Qianchou.
The young man jumped up and was still looking for his spear when he suddenly saw Yue Qianchou, who was standing next to him, raise his spear and throw it with a whoosh. This spear, which was infused with true essence, whistled through the air and nailed to the side of the lake. It directly penetrated the head of a Moonlight Crocodile, and half of it was inserted into the ground. The clansman who had his leg bitten by the crocodile quickly opened the crocodile's mouth and hurriedly crawled back.
The young man was stunned, and the clansmen who were fighting with the crocodiles by the lake were also shocked. They didn't know who had such great strength to actually shoot through the hardest head of the Moonlight Crocodile. However, they didn't have time to find this warrior. They desperately resisted the attack of the crocodiles.
One after another, the clansmen who were passing by were suddenly stopped by the young man. The young man couldn't wait to collect the spears in their hands and ran in front of Yue Qianchou. He held a dozen spears and said excitedly, "For you."
Yue Qianchou was startled, but he didn't hesitate. He grabbed a spear with each hand and threw them. "Swish, swish!" Two spears whistled through the air and nailed two crocodiles that were dragging people to the ground … Yue Qianchou waved his arms and threw a dozen spears in the blink of an eye. None of them missed their targets. Each spear killed a Moonlight Crocodile without any mishap. Moreover, the first ones that were killed were the crocodiles that were dragging people in their mouths. However, there were hundreds of crocodiles, almost equal to the number of cannibals …
The people who had their spears snatched by the young man immediately reacted and scattered. It didn't take long for each of them to come back with a bundle of brand-new spears. They untied the rattan ropes and held them by Yue Qianchou's side.
Yue Qianchou didn't move and stood firmly in the same place. His two hands constantly manipulated the spears and threw them with a whistling sound. The spears accurately passed through the people in front of him who were fighting with the crocodiles. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred spears were thrown, and each one was fatal. In an instant, more than a hundred crocodiles were killed.
With his help, the cannibal warriors immediately rescued all the people who had been bitten by the crocodiles. Seeing that Yue Qianchou was showing off his power, they didn't try to be brave and retreated one after another.
The clansmen who were holding a bundle of spears immediately ran to the cave where the weapons were stored after the spears in their hands were thrown by Yue Qianchou. The others took turns to hold the spears in their hands so that Yue Qianchou could throw them. The spears cut through the night sky with a whistling sound. In the blink of an eye, the attacking Moonlight Crocodiles were all killed. They were like nails on a board, and they were all stabbed into the ground by the spears.
The remaining dozen Moonlight Crocodiles were suddenly afraid, and they hurriedly turned around and crawled back. However, these short-legged crocodiles weren't very fast on land. Moreover, Yue Qianchou was determined to kill them, so he didn't plan to let them go. More than a dozen spears flew out one after another, and they were all nailed to the grass. Not a single one of them was allowed to escape.
The lakeside suddenly quieted down. About 50 meters away from Yue Qianchou, there were hundreds of spears stuck in the ground. Each spear was aimed at a fierce Moonlight Crocodile that was two to three meters long, and its head had been pierced through. The cannibals' eyes widened as they looked at this unbelievable scene …
