C63 The Monster in the Pond
Yang Ying recognized it at a glance. It was a Soul Devouring Centipede.
demonic beast illustrated handbook According to the book, a Soul Devouring Centipede was a Completion of Foundation Establishment demon beast, and it was the fiercest Foundation Stage centipede. Its first pair of legs were hooked, and they were extremely sharp. The tip of the hook had a poisonous gland, and it was wrapped by a hard shell.
Yang Ying thought about this, and secretly warned himself that he could not let the Soul Devouring Centipede get close to him, especially not to be touched by the first pair of legs of the Soul Devouring Centipede. At the same time, Yang Ying held the long sword in his hand and pointed it at the Soul Devouring Centipede from afar.
The tentacles of the Soul Devouring Centipede kept swinging in front of him. After that, the tentacles stopped moving. Its 21 pairs of legs started running at the same time. Its body suddenly dashed forward and rushed towards Yang Ying.
When it was about 20 feet away from Yang Ying, it suddenly bounced off the ground, and its whole body jumped up. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived in front of Yang Ying.
Yang Ying circulated the true essence on his toes. The tip of his foot suddenly stomped on the ground, and his entire body shot backwards at a rapid speed, dodging the Soul Devouring Centipede's pounce.
Yang Ying's hands were not idle. He activated the Wind Spirit Sword Arts, and thrust his longsword forward with the sound of the wind. The Sword Qi, which was more than ten feet long, suddenly shot out from the tip of the sword and pierced towards the Soul Devouring Centipede. As its body twisted, it had already dodged the attack.
Yang Ying did not expect to kill the Soul Devouring Centipede in one strike. Seeing the Soul Devouring Centipede dodge, he took the opportunity to raise the sword in his hand. The long sword with the Sword Qi whizzed towards the Soul Devouring Centipede.
Although the Soul Devouring Centipede tried its best to dodge, its body was scratched. The green liquid in its wound shot towards Yang Ying.
Yang Ying saw this and quickly spun around. His body turned around like a spinning top. The liquid splashed onto the fallen leaves on the ground. The fallen leaves instantly turned black, green smoke rising from the fallen leaves.
Yang Ying only felt a lingering fear. When this liquid fell on his body, a few holes would appear on his skin.
Yang Ying immediately landed on the ground. He took two steps back before stopping. He stood still on the ground, and the Soul Devouring Centipede landed on the ground. After it landed on the ground, it did not run away because of the pain. Instead, it got injured and became ferocious.
It swam towards Yang Ying on the ground. The liquid from its wound fell on the fallen leaves, and the leaves turned black. In a few breaths, it had already arrived in front of Yang Ying. Its big head suddenly smashed towards Yang Ying.
Seeing this, Yang Ying hurriedly dodged to the side. Immediately after, he stabbed with his long sword, leaving another wound on its head.
Yang Ying wanted to stab the sword into its head a little bit. However, it turned its body and bent the back half of its body towards Yang Ying.
Seeing this, Yang Ying could only pull the sword out. At the same time, he flashed to its side. Its body was bent, and it was no longer able to deal with Yang Ying's attack.
Yang Ying seized the opportunity and swung his sword at the crack in its body. The sword did not cut through its body as Yang Ying had expected. Instead, it was stuck in the crack in its body.
Seeing this, Yang Ying hurriedly activated the Bright Moon Sword Arts. A full moon flashed past, and a Sword Astral shot out from the tip of the sword. Yang Ying slashed down again, and the Soul Devouring Centipede broke.
Although its body was cut off, it did not die immediately. It waved its hooked first legs, wanting to leave two wounds on Yang Ying's body.
Yang Ying didn't dare to be careless. He used the Soaring Movement Arts and appeared beside the Soul Devouring Centipede. He waved his sword again and stabbed it into the wound on its head. After that, he circulated the true essence at the tip of the sword and twisted it in the Soul Devouring Centipede's head. After that, it stopped moving.
"Congratulations, you have killed a Completion of Foundation Establishment demon beast - Soul Devouring Centipede. You have obtained 160 points of origin power."
Yang Ying walked forward and chopped off its first pair of legs. Next, he tested the effects of the poison on its first legs in the forest. He discovered that the poison in its legs was much more powerful than its green bodily fluids!
"This is good stuff!" Yang Ying thought as he put the poison in the first pair of legs into the medicine bottle so that he could use it in the future.
"Centipede is good stuff in Huaxia. During the Food Festival, I can see roasted centipedes every time. However, I only see others eating, but I have never tried it before. I still can't adapt to such strange food."
Yang Ying thought for a while, but he still shook his head and gave up the idea of bringing the centipede back to taste it.
Yang Ying packed his things and walked to the tree branch to adjust his breathing. When his body was about to recover, he continued to walk into the distance.
On this day, Yang Ying came to the stream. The stream flowed forward with a gurgling sound. It was so clear that the bottom could be seen. The smooth cobblestone was colorful. Under the illumination of the sunlight, it made the stream look extremely beautiful.
He had not bathed for more than ten days. Now, in the middle of summer, he suddenly saw such clean water.
Yang Ying couldn't help but have a thought. If he could take a good bath in this small stream, how comfortable would it be? However, the water here was too shallow. With this thought in mind, he ran along the small stream. In less than two miles, he reached a very deep pond.
The pond wasn't very big, and it was about twenty meters long. Yang Ying looked down and couldn't tell how deep the water was.
Yang Ying remembered that someone in Huaxia said that throwing rocks could tell how deep the water was. He picked up a smooth stone from the shore and threw it towards the center of the pond. He saw a small splash on the surface of the water. After a while, he heard the splash.
As for how deep this pond was, Yang Ying did not understand at all. However, he knew that the water in this pond should not be shallow. At least, he could take a bath here.
Yang Ying packed his things and walked towards the shore. He casually took off his shoes, rolled up his pants high, and then stood in the pond to let his feet feel the cool water.
A chill hit him, and Yang Ying could not help but feel delighted. In this kind of hot weather, he should be having fun by the pond. He did not hesitate anymore and prepared to dive into the water.
Just as he was about to take off his clothes, he suddenly heard the sound of flowing water.
He suddenly lowered his head, and a monster was already near his feet. At this moment, the monster was attacking him with its long neck.
Yang Ying did not have time to do anything else. He gathered the true essence on his feet and used all his strength to stamp his feet. He jumped up from the surface of the water and jumped more than three meters high. The monster noticed that the attack did not hit him, so it raised its head and waited for him to fall back into the water.
