Chapter 76: Xuanwu Armor
"Chieftain, be careful!"
Instead of fleeing, Muya gathered her strength, trying to hold off the crocodile and buy time for her people.
She was enveloped in a blue light and moved with incredible speed, leaping back and forth between the gaping maws of the crocodile, pulling out the spear stuck in its body, and then creating distance.
Enraged, the deinosuchus suddenly spewed a plume of black mist from its long, sharp jaws.
When the fog comes into contact with the surrounding vegetation, it causes the vegetation to wither and die quickly.
"It's my older sister!"
Mu Xiaoya had somehow appeared behind Zhang Ping and looked at her sister fighting a crocodile by the lake in the distance with a worried expression.
Beside her, Zhang Ping frowned slightly.
"A Deinosaurus? It looks like it still has a trace of dragon blood." He noticed the single horn on the Deinosaurus's head and its vertical pupils that glowed with a faint green light.
This crocodile has reached the mid-stage of the Bone Forging realm, giving it absolute dominance over the Banshee race.
Even though they numbered in the hundreds, their numerical advantage was greatly diminished when facing the heavily armored, scaled beasts with formidable defenses.
"No wonder there are no beast tribes around."
He shook his head, seeing Muya in the distance struggling against the attack of the crocodile, and many female demons injured by the battle's energy. He slowly raised his right hand.
Aim at the crocodile 100 meters away.
"Restraint".
Zhang Ping's voice was clear. Mu Xiaoya, who was anxiously tugging at the hem of her skirt with leaves, was also attracted. She looked up at his actions and was puzzled when she suddenly heard the sound of towering waves in the distance.
Looking again, she was so shocked that her mouth dropped open.
Muya, who was fighting the crocodile, was surprised to see dozens of water columns suddenly shooting out of the large lake next to her.
The water jet, like a thick hemp rope, instantly wrapped tightly around the entire body of the crocodile, with its long, narrow mouth receiving particular attention and being bound tightly.
"What's going on?" The surrounding female demons looked on in shock, not understanding why the lake water had suddenly helped them.
The crocodile was bound, its eyes bloodshot with rage!
It struggled violently, its hundred-meter-long body twisting and rolling wildly, slamming into the ground.
However, they couldn't break free from the water ropes binding them.
Muya seized the opportunity, raised her spear, and charged forward.
"Quickly! Attack!"
Countless spears, enveloped in green energy, pierced the head of the crocodile. Aside from a few female demons at the late-stage of the Flesh Refining Realm, and Muya and the alluring middle-aged female demon, the spears of the other female demons couldn't even pierce their scales.
"Attack the same wound repeatedly!"
Muya immediately changed her tactics, focusing her attacks on one spot. The wound on the crocodile's head rapidly widened.
The intense pain made it writhe and struggle even more fiercely.
On the distant hilltop, Zhang Ping's breathing became slightly rapid, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead. His raised right hand trembled.
His internal injuries had not yet healed, and even though the power of the Water God was less of a burden on his body, binding a bone-forging beast was still too much for him.
Mu Xiaoya, standing nearby, was still looking up at the lakeside, then at Zhang Ping.
"Wow, you're amazing!"
Zhang Ping didn't respond, but a glint flashed in his eyes. Seeing that Mu Ya and the others had already made a sufficiently large incision on the crocodile's head, he hooked his right index finger.
At the lakeside, a stream branched off from the water that bound the deinosuchus, condensing above to form a water blade. The water blade compressed, revealing a cold, sharp edge.
Taking advantage of the crocodile's flipping over and revealing an opening, the water jet was aimed at the wound on its head and stabbed down hard!
"retreat!"
Noticing this change, Muya knew that her secret helpers were about to make their move, and immediately led the attacking banshees to retreat.
The next moment, the water jet pierced through the skull of the crocodile and plunged three feet into the ground.
The roar of the crocodile came to an abrupt halt.
Before the surrounding succubi could react, Muya's exquisite face shone brightly in her eyes.
"Did we kill an adult deinosuchus?"
Her words ignited the crowd, and the banshees erupted in cheers.
On the hillside, Zhang Ping lowered his right hand and knelt weakly on one knee.
"it's over."
"Are you alright?" Upon seeing this, Mu Xiaoya quickly stepped forward to support him, her petite body pressed tightly against his.
"Take me there." Zhang Ping pointed in the direction of the Deinosuchus.
The crater was very large, and Mu Xiaoya carried Zhang Ping to the lakeside.
At this moment, all the female demons gathered around. They glanced at the huge carcass of the crocodile with lingering fear, and took out medicinal herbs from their baskets to treat their companion's wounds.
Muya took long strides and leaped across the carcass of the deinosuchus to examine it.
"Sister!" Mu Xiaoya waved and called out.
Hearing the sound, Muya looked at her sister and noticed Zhang Ping on her back, her brows furrowing slightly.
"Xiaoya, stay away."
Mu Xiaoya put Zhang Ping down, waved excitedly, and told her sister about Zhang Ping's help earlier.
When her sister told her that Zhang Ping was controlling the water flow, Muya's first reaction was disbelief.
That's the power that can bind a Bone Forging Realm Terror Crocodile. Could it be the work of this severely injured human who can barely walk?
Water control seems to have nothing to do with humans.
Muya shook her head, frowned at Zhang Ping, and patted her sister's head: "Alright, take him aside. You're not a child anymore, you should be able to tell right from wrong." She spoke tactfully.
Mu Xiaoya didn't understand and pouted, "Sister, what does this have to do with anything!"
Zhang Ping sat on the ground without speaking, his expression calm, and raised his hand. A clear stream surged from the once calm lake surface and flew through the air.
Sensing the commotion, Muya turned around and saw this scene, her beautiful eyes widening in surprise.
The surrounding female demons also saw it and exclaimed in surprise.
The water flowed gently, washing away the dust from Zhang Ping's body as he lingered in the air.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the female demons, the water carried him and he landed steadily in the lake.
With half his body submerged in the water, Zhang Ping's face showed a relaxed expression. Staying in the water, the Still Water Beast Pattern not only accelerated his cultivation but also helped him recover from his injuries.
"The water just now... was it you who controlled it?" Muya was still in shock. She never expected that the human her sister had casually picked up by the stream could control water; his strength was probably unfathomable.
"It's me. You want to make this your new home?" Zhang Ping's attitude was normal, not taking Mu Ya's previous doubts to heart. After all, ordinary people really can't control water.
Moreover, it was Mu Xiaoya who saved him.
Upon hearing Zhang Ping's question, Mu Ya nodded subconsciously:
"The environment here is excellent, perfect for the growth of the Spirit Tree. Of course, if you'd like this place, we can provide it..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Ping raised his hand to interrupt him.
"You can stay and make this your home."
Mu Ya breathed a sigh of relief. Mu Xiaoya, standing nearby, excitedly ran to the lakeside and waved to Zhang Ping:
"Hey! I want to go up and play too!"
Seeing her sister's actions, Muya felt a pang of anxiety and wanted to speak up to stop her.
Zhang Ping smiled helplessly and commanded the water to form steps on the lake surface, allowing Mu Xiaoya to walk to his side.
Upon first seeing such a novel scene, the girl kept walking back and forth on the water's surface, occasionally scooping up a curious little fish that swam by.
Muya stood by the lake, opened her mouth, but didn't speak. After hesitating for a moment, she turned around to prepare to arrange for her people to build shelters.
Zhang Ping called out to her:
"By the way, could you help me find a few materials?"
He took out the fire crystal he had obtained from the head of the Flaming Bird, as well as the strange crystal from the little pink turtle's shell.
The Fire Crystal is related to fire-attribute qi and blood, and he has been looking forward to it for a long time.
Even more surprising was the crystal on the little pink turtle. It was just meant to be a makeshift replacement for the turtle prime minister's shell, but it turned out to be a treasure.
[Black-armored Turtle] [Black Tortoise Armor]
[Black Tortoise Armor: A battle armor of unbreakable strength, activated upon reaching adulthood, reflecting the bloodline talent of the Black Tortoise.]
That boastful turtle prime minister actually had a concubine with Xuanwu blood!
No wonder he risked injury to protect the little pink turtle when he was escaping for his life.
He told Muya about the materials needed to brand the Flame and Black Tortoise Armor. Fortunately, most of the materials had the same names in the Great Wei and surrounding areas, so there was no need to worry about different names causing trouble.
After hearing what materials Zhang Ping needed, Mu Ya's beautiful eyes showed surprise:
"It seems the tribe has some of them; I'll go get them."
