Chapter 163 162. Searching for the Monster
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

On the vast river, a team of a hundred men rushed towards them on the water. Their auras were connected and intertwined with each other, faintly forming the shape of a heroic warrior in the sky.

The hundred-man team stopped when approaching Xu Qing and the others. The burly and strong man in the lead looked at the river water dyed red, but did not see the corpse of a pig dragon. He glared and said:
"Where's the Pig Dragon?"

"Luo Yufei, where is the Fourth Realm Pig Dragon you mentioned? You didn't let those beasts escape, did you?"

Luo Yufei looked at Xu Qing with a strange look and admiration, then turned around and said unhappily: "Chen Laohei, you are late!"

"Are you late?" The "Chen Laohei" mentioned by Luo Yufei raised his eyebrows. "As soon as I received your message, I immediately ordered my troops to rush over!"

"Did you let those pig dragons run away? I'm sorry to tell you!"

Luo Yufei shook his head: "You are really late. All those pig dragons have been killed! One is in the upper fourth realm, one is in the middle fourth realm, two are in the lower fourth realm, and there are thousands of pig dragons in the first, second, and third realms."

Chen Laohei raised his thick eyebrows when he heard this: "Are you confused? Just you?"

After saying that, he glanced at all the Taoists in Yuanfu Temple. There was only one who was in the fourth realm, and the rest were in the third realm. Could this lineup destroy the pig dragons that Luo Yufei mentioned?
Chen Laohei didn't believe a word of what Luo Yufei said. He thought that he was the one who let those pig-dragons run away and made up some ridiculous excuse to fool him.

"Luo Yufei, stop lying to me. Those pig dragons are fleeing in that direction. If we chase them now, we may be able to catch up with them."

"I didn't lie to you." Luo Yufei shook his head. "If I really lied to you, I wouldn't say it like this. Do you think those pig dragons I mentioned escaped?"

Thinking of the scene just now, he himself found it a little hard to believe.

Just now, this young Taoist priest from the third realm used thunder to forcibly kill a pig dragon from the fourth realm, even though he had the cooperation of Taoist An Yuan.

But it was also very shocking.

After killing the pig dragon with thunder, the situation was already determined. The pig dragon that was fighting with him saw that the situation was not good and wanted to escape, but was then killed by them all.

When Chen Laohei heard this, he was stunned and felt that it made a lot of sense.

If it was the lineup that Luo Yufei described, they would be the ones who should escape.

"Did they really kill them all?" Chen Laohei raised his voice.

Luo Yufei looked at Xu Qing. Xu Qing understood the meaning of this look and took out a palm-sized bead from the Hu Tian Fu. In the bead floated a pig dragon with cracked scales.

His Hutian Fu space simply couldn't accommodate such a huge corpse beast.

Therefore, Senior Brother Yinshan used a Taoist method similar to "Putting Mount Sumeru in a mustard seed" to seal all the bodies of the pig dragons in beads condensed by water.

Although the pig dragon in the bead is very small, its aura cannot be faked. Chen Laohei can clearly feel the awe-inspiring aura emanating from the pig dragon.

It is indeed the Pig Dragon from the Fourth Realm.

Then he saw Senior Brother Yinshan also take out three water beads containing a pig dragon. Judging from their auras, they were all powerful monsters in the fourth realm.

Luo Yufei did not want any of the pig dragon corpses, which made Xu Qing change his opinion of him again and again. He contributed a lot but did not take anything. He was definitely a great teammate.

However, considering that he is a disciple of the royal family and a demon hunter of the Arctic Exorcism Institute, he should have no shortage of resources for daily practice, so it is understandable that he looks down on these pig dragon corpses.

"Is it true?" Chen Laohei glared, with unconcealable surprise in his eyes.

"Of course it's true. Seeing is believing, and the evidence is irrefutable. How could it be false?" Luo Yufei rolled his eyes.

Chen Laohei clapped his hands and said excitedly: "This way, there will be fewer monsters causing trouble along the river, and the people don't have to live in fear."

"If we really want the people to live a peaceful life, it's not enough to just kill a few monsters." Senior Brother Yinshan suddenly said, "Master Luo, when will the new iron statue of the Water-controlling Divine Bull arrive?"

Divine water-suppressing bulls or divine rhinos would be thrown into each major river in Dasheng to suppress the water traffic. At the same time, water-suppressing magic arrays would be set up on the river banks to prevent monsters in the river from causing trouble.

"The Ministry of Works of the Imperial Court is already rushing to make it, and I believe it will be delivered soon." Luo Yufei said solemnly, "But now the driver of the Dushuiqing Li has another important task, and we need to ask Taoist Anyuan to re-set up the water suppression array on both sides of the river to let the river water that has flooded the river bank retreat back into the river."

Yinshan naturally had no reason to refuse.

They had three purposes for coming down the mountain this time: to provide disaster relief, eliminate epidemics, kill monsters, and suppress water veins.

In order to suppress the water veins, the iron statue of the water-suppressing bull must be placed again in this section of the river, and the water-suppressing magic array on both sides of the river bank must be repaired.

As long as these two things are guaranteed, no matter how much trouble the water monsters cause in the river, they will not be able to affect the lives of the people on the shore.

"Lord Luo, do you know that this group of pig dragons was the only one that controlled the water to break through this section of the river that day? Were there other pig dragons or other water monsters?"

Seeing that Senior Brother Yinshan was planning to stay here and set up a water-controlling formation, Xu Qing suddenly asked.

When Luo Yufei heard Xu Qing's question, he was puzzled as to why he asked this question, but he still answered truthfully:
"As far as I know, it was not only the group of pig dragons just now that broke through the river bank water suppression magic circle that day, but also other pig dragons and water demons."

“But we don’t know which ones they are.”

Xu Qing nodded: "Then perhaps at this moment, exterminating the water demon tribe is as important as setting up the water suppression array on the river bank again."

"Little Master, did you find anything?" Senior Brother Yinshan's eyes flickered. "I just killed that pig dragon and got a ray of flood disaster energy."

"Are you talking about the flood disaster?" Senior Brother Yinshan's eyes became serious.

"Yes!" Xu Qing spread out his palms, and the shadow of a pig dragon floated in his palms, roaring fiercely at the few people, baring its fangs and claws.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the shadow of the Pig Dragon in Xu Qing's palm.

Luo Yufei felt the strong malice and destructive power coming from the shadow, and said in a deep voice: "It is indeed the energy of flood disaster."

"At that time, the group of pig dragons controlled the water and broke through the water-controlling magic formation on the river bank. Perhaps it just happened to coincide with the current disaster time, so the heaven sent down a ray of flood disaster." Xu Qing expressed his opinion.

“However, this wisp of flood disaster energy is not complete, so other water demons must have divided up this wisp of flood disaster energy at that time.”

"Flood disaster energy is like poison to mortals and most cultivators, but to these water-born monsters, it is the most precious tonic." Luo Yufei said in a deep voice.

Chen Laohei frowned and said, "Wouldn't that be terrible? What if a fourth-level demon took the opportunity to break through to the fifth level?"

When the masters with great supernatural powers and the demon kings and ancestors agree not to take action, the fifth realm is the current peak combat power.

Every time one appears, the situation changes dramatically.

"We must find those water-born monsters who were gifted with the aura of flood disasters!" Luo Yufei said urgently after pondering for a moment.

"But the river is so vast, how can we find it?" The officer next to Chen Laohei shook his head, "Unless we can ask the Yin-Yang master of the Imperial Observatory in Kyoto or someone else who is good at divination to do divination."

"Otherwise, finding a water monster in this river would be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack."

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

The officer was right. It was extremely difficult to find a specific monster in this vast river.

"I have a way to find other monsters that have acquired flood disaster energy." Xu Qing glanced at the silent crowd, "Why don't we split our forces into two lines?"

"Brother Yinshan, all the other brothers will stay here to set up the water suppression array on the river bank. Also, this general and his soldiers will assist and protect you brothers."

"And Lord Luo and I will go and kill those monsters that have acquired the flood disaster energy."

Xu Qing finished speaking in one breath, and everyone else had a thoughtful look in their eyes.

"Do you have a way? What way?" Chen Laohei said in a huffy voice, and from his tone it seemed that he did not believe Xu Qing had any way to find those monsters.

As a rough man, he didn't understand the various Taoist magic powers, but he also knew that the Taoist magic techniques mastered in the Qi Refining Realm could never have such an effect.

Xu Qing nodded.

The guardian deity's divine eyes can see the cause and effect line.
As long as he follows the causal line extending from the flood disaster energy he obtained from the Pig Dragon, he will naturally be able to find the monsters who divided the flood disaster energy bestowed by Heaven at that time.

Luo Yufei pointed at Xu Qing and said, "Do you know why he took out the body of the pig dragon just now? Because he killed the pig dragon!"

"He killed him?" Chen Laohei exclaimed, "How is that possible? He is only a third realm, and that pig dragon is at least in the fourth realm, right?"

"To be precise, it should be the fourth realm."

Chen Laohei and the officer beside him fell into silence.

They thought this was a bit ridiculous. Judging from the aura of the young Taoist priest in front of them, he should have just broken through to the Qi Refining Stage not long ago.

Is it possible for a Taoist who has just started to practice Qi Refining to kill a powerful demon in the fourth realm?

Seeing that Luo Yufei didn't explain clearly, Xu Qing quickly added: "It was Senior Brother Yinshan who suppressed the water control power of the pig dragon, so I had the opportunity to kill it."

Chen Laohei couldn't help but nodded after hearing this.

Is this right?
No wonder!
Even if a pig dragon at the fourth realm has lost the power to control water, its physical strength, sturdy leather armor, and sharp fangs and claws are enough to easily crush a third realm cultivator!
"Young Taoist priest, how can you find those monsters?" Luo Yufei asked.

Senior Brother Yinshan also cast a curious look.

The various methods that Junior Master Uncle just demonstrated were already quite amazing, and now he can even search for monsters that he has never seen before in the vast river.

What kind of magic will the junior uncle use?
Tracking Technique? Thousand Miles Tracking Talisman? No, both the Tracking Technique and the Thousand Miles Tracking Talisman require a trace of the other party's Qi to work.

"This is my secret. I'm sorry I can't tell you. But I'm definitely not lying to you. I can indeed find the monsters that received the flood disaster energy after the water broke through the river bank's water suppression magic circle that day!"

Every word Xu Qing spoke was powerful.

Luo Yufei and Senior Brother Yinshan looked at each other and chose to believe it. After all, Xu Qing had just proved through that battle that he possessed extraordinary abilities!
