The black figure was shrouded in mist, but Yi Yun could see it clearly through the Purple Crystal's energy vision.
In his energy vision, the black shadow was clearly a giant crocodile that was more than ten meters long.
This crocodile had a rock-like dark skin, a single horn on its head, and thick eyelids that covered most of its eyes. Its entire body was covered in poisonous and rancid black mud.
This was an Ancient Blackwater Crocodile.
The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile only lived in the corrosive swamps. It was extremely strong, and its skin was extremely tough.
It had strange habits and liked to eat dead and rotten corpses.
Yi Yun was a living person, but that did not matter. It did not mind occasionally eating something fresh. It could even kill Yi Yun now and drag him into the mud as food reserves.
Seeing the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile, Yi Yun had a thought. Following that, the corners of his mouth curled upwards.
The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile swayed its tail and slowly swam towards Yi Yun. The mud was pushed aside by its massive body.
Although the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile's body was huge, its movements were extremely agile. After it locked onto a prey, it would slowly approach. Once the prey turned around to escape, it would quickly rush out and unleash a thunderous strike!
However, the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile found it odd that Yi Yun was a prey that looked weak, but had no intention of escaping. Its amber eyes locked onto Yi Yun's every move.
Yi Yun silently pulled out the Tai Cang Bow. With his energy vision, the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile had nowhere to hide.
Yi Yun's action of taking out a weapon immediately enraged the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile.
With a roar, it charged at Yi Yun at an alarming speed!
Yi Yun's body flew backwards as the bowstring released a thunderous sound. A cold beam whistled through the air as the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile's abdomen was hit by an arrow!
Boom!
The Yuan Qi contained in the arrowhead exploded, causing mud to fly everywhere!
The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile was in pain. Although its abdomen was covered in scales, it was still bleeding from the violent explosion!
Sou sou sou!
Yi Yun continuously shot with his bow. The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile curled up its body, using its tougher carapace to withstand the attacks.
The Yuan Qi kept exploding, and the Wind Chasing Arrows created a raging rain of mud in the swamp.
In the swamp, the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile was furious.
It didn't expect that the seemingly weak prey it had locked onto would be able to put it in such a difficult position.
It roared and its huge body leaped up from the swamp. The long tail behind it was like a collapsing stone pillar as it swung towards Yi Yun.
At that moment, Yi Yun pushed his movement technique to its limits. He transformed into a series of afterimages, and with a leap, he was more than a hundred feet away.
The tail missed and smashed into the ground. With a loud boom, a large amount of mud splattered everywhere!
Yi Yun used the Thousand Army Saber to disperse the flying mud and turned to escape. The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile roared and chased after Yi Yun relentlessly. Its huge body left a rolling mud wave behind it.
It quickly followed Yi Yun out of the Blackwater Swamp and into the desolate plains.
The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile's speed was fast, but it could only be like a fish in water in the swamp. Once it left the swamp, its speed would obviously drop.
The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile chased furiously for a while. After chasing for several kilometers, the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile felt a trace of unease.
Being too far away from the swamp made it feel a sense of danger.
It reduced its speed and wanted to return to the Blackwater Swamp. But at this moment, Yi Yun stopped.
Yi Yun's lips curled into a playful smile. It was not easy to lure this big guy here, so how could he let it escape?
Yi Yun took out the Tai Cang Bow and took out an arrow from his interspatial ring. He nocked the arrow.
Seeing that Yi Yun was no longer running and was about to attack it, the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile roared again and charged at Yi Yun.
Yi Yun's lips curled into an embarrassed smile. He loosened his fingers and the arrow shot out like a meteor!
Sou!
The arrow pierced through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound!
The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile was confident in its strong defense, so it was not afraid of Yi Yun's arrow. It charged straight at the arrow! But just as the arrow hit the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile …
Peng!
With a terrifying explosion, the array bead hidden in the arrowhead exploded! Strands of spiderweb-like energy ripples spread out, carrying with them a bizarre ice-cold energy.
Wherever the energy ripples swept through, the bare ground was instantly frozen into white ice crystals.
For this trip to the Divine wilderness, Yi Yun had specially prepared many hollow arrowheads. He had placed different array beads in them.
Yi Yun had prepared five to six of these ice-cold energy array beads.
These array beads were not considered powerful and could not kill desolate beasts. But they were very good at restraining and restricting desolate beasts. They could help warriors capture desolate beasts alive.
Ka-cha!
The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile that was hit by the Wind Chasing Arrow was completely covered in ice crystals. The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile was a cold-blooded animal, so it had very low resistance against frost energy. Because of the ice patterned array beads, its large body's movements became much slower.
The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile struggled crazily. The ice crystals were shattered by its immense strength. Just as the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile was about to break free, this short moment was enough for Yi Yun.
Sou!
Yi Yun's body was like a cheetah as he leaped onto the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile's head. His bones emitted a series of popping sounds!
He reached out and took out a brick-like weapon from his interspatial ring.
This was specially prepared by Yi Yun before the Divine wilderness trials. Once the Thousand Army Saber was used, it was easy to draw blood. But most of the time, Yi Yun did not need to kill his opponent.
During the rookie ranking competition, Yi Yun had used the brick well. For this experience, he had also prepared one.
A brick without any arrays engraved on it only had one characteristic: it was very heavy! Very hard!
Yi Yun's waist tightened like a flood dragon. Yuan energy surged into his arms. He aimed at the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile's nose and smashed down with the brick!
According to the records in the "Divine wilderness" book, the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile's scales were extremely thick. It was impenetrable, especially its carapace. When its abdomen was close to the ground, it made people lose interest in attacking it.
But, it had one weakness. It was in the middle of its nose. This was where a large number of the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile's nerves were gathered. Once it received a heavy blow, it would cause the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile's nerves to go numb.
Typically, the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile paid great attention to protecting its weakness. As long as it shook its head, it could dodge an attack aimed at its nose. But this did not include a situation where someone was riding on it and smashing a brick at its nose!
Dang!
A loud sound like metal colliding rang out. Yi Yun's attack was extremely heavy, with a force of a million pounds!
The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile was completely dumbfounded by Yi Yun's smash. With its slow mind, it never expected that the human it was chasing would suddenly go berserk, grabbing its head and smashing it hard!
Having its nose's weakness attacked, the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile was enraged. It roared and wanted to bite Yi Yun off, but at this moment, Yi Yun's second brick arrived!
Dang!
With another loud sound, the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile's roar had only just begun before it was silenced.
The second hit made the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile's head sway. Its two amber eyes were filled with stars dancing in front of it.
It used its last bit of strength to roll its body, attempting to throw Yi Yun to the ground.
But Yi Yun's legs were like iron hoops, tightly locking onto the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile's neck. No matter how it rolled, it could not do anything to Yi Yun.
This was also the reason why Yi Yun chose to lure the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile out of the Blackwater Swamp. If it were to roll around in the Blackwater Swamp, Yi Yun's entire body would be submerged in the toxic mud. It would be enough for him to suffer.
"You still have the strength to do a death roll?"
Yi Yun chuckled and smashed down for the third time!
Dong!
The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile's nose had been smashed by Yi Yun. Blood flowed out as the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile convulsed!
Ever since its body was frozen by the arrow, causing its movements to become sluggish, Yi Yun had grasped its weakness and smashed it with all his might.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The fourth, fifth and sixth brick. Yi Yun was addicted to smashing it.
The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile went from roaring and rolling in the beginning to wailing on the ground. Its huge body was curled up as it trembled.
It had seen cultivators in the Divine wilderness in the past. It had also eaten their corpses and chased a few cultivators until they fled.
However, it had never seen such a savage human who actually used such a method to beat it up.
Yes, this was not a fight, it was a beating.
It also understood that it was no match for this terrifying human.
Seeing the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile wilt from being smashed, Yi Yun slightly stopped. However, his legs were still tightly gripping the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile's neck. The metal brick was hanging on the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile's nose. To the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile, this was a terrifying threat.
"You!" Yi Yun said, "I don't know if you can understand me. Now, you will be my temporary mount and bring me across the Blackwater Swamp. If you have any ulterior motives, such as wanting to dive into the swamp midway, I can guarantee you that your nose will burst open in an instant!"
Yi Yun held the brick in one hand and the Thousand Army Saber in the other. The cold blade was pressed against the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile's nose.
"Falling into the Blackwater Swamp will consume my Yuan Qi, but it won't be a problem for me to last two to four hours. It's enough for me to kill you in this period of time."
As Yi Yun spoke, the Thousand Army Saber slashed across the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile's nose. Although it did not cut through the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile's scales, the chill that came through the nose scared the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile out of its wits.
Desolate beasts had a certain level of intelligence. Now that its life was threatened and it had been beaten up by Yi Yun, it vaguely understood Yi Yun's intentions.
At the very least, if it did not resist and did as Yi Yun intended, its life would not be in danger.
"Forward!"
Yi Yun pointed with the Thousand Army Saber. The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile was stunned for a moment before it barely understood Yi Yun's intentions. It began to crawl in the direction Yi Yun pointed.
Slowly, it crawled faster and faster, rushing into the Blackwater Swamp.
With the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile as a mount, Yi Yun avoided the situation of his body sinking into the swamp and expending large amounts of Yuan Qi. As such, Yi Yun only needed to use his Yuan Qi to disperse the miasma.
He could maintain his best stamina and use the fastest speed to cross the Blackwater Swamp.
