"This is really an interesting question. Why do these crocodiles never come ashore to attack human monks?" Suddenly realizing this problem, Cheng Yu became interested again. I hadn't thought about it before, but now that I think about it, it's a little strange.
This swamp area is about a hundred kilometers wide. I don’t know how many purple crocodiles there are in it, but it seems that no crocodile has ever taken the initiative to come ashore to attack humans.
Thinking about it this way, when the dozens of people came back just now, these crocodiles arrived a dozen meters away from the shore and said they seemed to have given up the pursuit.
In order to test his idea, Cheng Yu walked to the shore and stared at the dozen crocodiles watching him.
Moving! The crocodiles moved, and the strange thing was that they only scurried around, but did not dare to approach Cheng Yu.
"Ha, that's interesting. What are you afraid of?" Seeing this strange phenomenon, Cheng Yu stood up and ran along the edge of the swamp.
"Brother, look, that kid has run away, should we catch up with him!" He said anxiously when he saw Cheng Yu suddenly running.
"Follow me quickly and see what this kid is doing?" The eldest brother also noticed Cheng Yu's strange behavior and followed him with a dozen of his men hiding in the bushes.
Cheng Yu ran ten kilometers in one breath and then stopped, sitting on the shore and observing the water.
"Why don't you come out yet? Can't they see it?" Cheng Yu sat there for twenty minutes, but there was no movement on the water surface. Cheng Yu became anxious.
Bo~, Cheng Yu picked up a stone next to him and threw it into the swamp. He saw a few ripples in the water, then nothing, and everything returned to calm.
"Hey! What's going on? I fed the crocodile with my body and it hasn't come out yet?" Cheng Yu thought in confusion as he looked at the calm mirror-like water surface.
Seeing these crocodiles coming out, Cheng Yu suddenly released his breath. Pah~pah~pah~, and suddenly a dozen purple crocodile heads emerged from the swamp.
"So you feel my presence through my breath? So if I don't release my breath, I won't attract your attention?" Suddenly Cheng Yu discovered an important piece of information. These crocodiles are through their breath. The breath of human monks comes to sense their existence.
"But when flying, the breath on the body will be released no matter what? Even if you use some concealment skills, you can't completely hide the breath on the body. Moreover, these purple lotus flowers can improve the sense of smell of these crocodiles, and they will Becoming very sensitive, you can feel even the slightest smell of odor, unless..." Seeing that these crocodiles were the same as the previous ones, they noticed Cheng Yu's existence, but they kept running around and slapping the water more than ten meters away from the shore. Thinking about the situation when Kunlun monks passed through the Death Swamp, Cheng Yu was suddenly overjoyed and started searching everywhere.
According to Cheng Yu's reasoning, there must be something on the shore that they are taboo about, so they don't dare to go ashore. Just like what Kunlun monks encountered back thenLikewise, they must be carrying this kind of thing on their bodies, so the crocodiles will not dare to come forward when they are more than ten meters away from them.
"Brother! What is that kid doing? Has he discovered us and is looking for us?" Baoya said nervously when he saw Cheng Yu looking around.
Pa~, "Brainless guy, we are so far away from him, how could he find us." The elder brother slapped Ba Ya on the head angrily and cursed.
"Then...brother, what do you think he is looking for?" Baoya touched his head and asked in confusion.
"Who knows what this kid is doing? Looking at how happy he is, could it be..." The eldest brother shook his head in confusion at first, and then suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and he said happily.
"No way! I think it's more like he lost something." Bao Bao said, touching the two Bao Teeth in front of him.
Pa~, the eldest brother slapped me again, "You are addicted to saying you are stupid, right? Have you ever seen someone so happy after losing something?"
"Brother, are you saying that what he is looking for can pass through this death swamp?" Jian Zui suddenly said.
"I don't know, maybe!" The eldest brother shook his head and said.
"t
d, what is it that keeps these guys from going ashore? How about I catch a crocodile and try it? Damn it, it's already dark." Only then did Cheng Yu notice that it was getting dark and bonfires were lit in the distance.
"It seems that we can only continue looking for it tomorrow." Cheng Yu had no choice but to stop looking for that magical thing.
It was getting late. Although Cheng Yu could see at night, it was still inconvenient compared with daytime. In this case, he had clues about the matter anyway, so there was no rush.
Cheng Yu also found a big tree and sat on it, took out some wine and food, and ate it.
"Brother, let's take a rest. Let's have something to eat too?" he said with his teeth smacking when he saw Cheng Yu hiding in the tree eating and drinking.
"Okay, but tonight you have to take turns observing him, and you will notify me if there is any action." The eldest brother thought for a while and said. If that kid is really capable of finding a way through this death swamp, we can't take it lightly and let him run away alone.
"I know, brother." Several people took out the food they prepared and started to devour it.
————————————————————————
In the middle of the night, Cheng Yu had no intention of meditating. Firstly, There are many people here with mixed opinions, so they don’t dare to enter meditation easily. Second, I kept thinking about the strange phenomenon in the death swamp.
Whoosh~, Cheng Yu flew down from the tree and jumped to the shore of the swamp. Through the bright moon in the sky, he looked at the purple lotus flowers in a daze.
"What is the reason why the water, plants and creatures in this swamp are so strange, and what is it that prevents these crocodiles from coming ashore?" Cheng Yu walked to the swamp and scooped it up with his hands. This purple water thought curiously.
"Such cold water." Feeling the cold water on his hand, Cheng Yu quickly threw the water away.
Huh? Just when the water in Cheng Yu's hand was splashing on some short grass growing on the edge of the swamp, something strange happened. The moonlight in the sky shone on the short grass and emitted a white light, and then the tips of these short grasses The small hail actually bloomed, and a white flower was revealed in each short grass.
"Huh? It stinks!" I didn't expect that such a white and beautiful flower would emit such a strange smell.
Wah~bah~wah, Cheng Yu suddenly saw several crocodiles emerging from the water, and then flopped and swam away.
"Hey! Could this be..." Seeing this scene, Cheng Yu suddenly thought in surprise.
Cheng Yu stood up and released all his momentum. After a while, there was still no crocodile on the water. Cheng Yu looked at the flowers at his feet, then picked up the short grass and threw it towards the crocodile emerging from the water in the distance.
Pa~pa~pa~, just as Cheng Yu expected, the short grass fell to the surface of the water, and the crocodiles swam away in the distance.
"Haha, it's you!" Finally finding the answer he wanted, Cheng Yu collected all the flowering short grass and sealed it with a ban, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stand the smell. .
After finding the answer, Cheng Yu was in a good mood, turned around and prepared to go back to the tree to sleep. But after taking a few steps, he came back, and his aura burst out again. This time, there were no white flowers, and a dozen crocodiles suddenly appeared ten meters away from the edge of the swamp.
Cheng Yu pulled out a few short grasses without flowers and threw them down. The same situation happened. The crocodiles swam away quickly, but the distance they swam was not as far as the flowers. .
Seeing this scene, Cheng Yu understood a truth. These short grasses also have this strange smell, but it is not so obvious. It is generally difficult for people to smell it, but these crocodiles have absorbed this strange smell for a long time. After the fragrance of purple lotus, their sense of smell is much more sensitive than that of humans. They can feel this smell at a distance of more than ten meters, so these crocodiles did not dare to come forward when they flew more than ten meters away from the Kunlun monks.
But after the short grass blooms, the smell is obviously too strong. Even I can smell it easily, let alone these crocodiles with sensitive sense of smell. But why are they so afraid or disgusted with this smell? ?
Hey! Forget it, why do you study this yourself? All things in the world are in harmony with each other, so it is not surprising that they are naturally taboo against this smell.
Cheng Yu didn’t delve into it any further and happily jumped up to the tree to sleep alone.
"Big brother, big brother, that kid has taken action." After Cheng Yu returned to the tree, Bao Ya quickly ran to his big brother and shook him awake.
"What? Has that kid taken action? Where is he?" Hearing that Cheng Yu had taken action, the eldest brother got excited and quickly got up and asked.
"It's over there!" explodedYa pointed at the place where Cheng Yu had been sitting just now.
"Huh? Where is that person?" The elder brother pointed in the direction Ba Ya pointed at and didn't even see a ghost figure. He thought he hadn't woken up. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, but there was still no figure. , said anxiously.
"The kid just sat there for a while, and now he's back to sleep in the tree."
Ba Ya said honestly.
Bang! "You idiot, didn't I tell you to come and wake me up whenever he makes any movement?" The elder brother became angry and slapped Ba Ya on the head.
"Big...brother, I...I thought he got up in the middle of the night to pee, so...so I didn't dare to call you, but I saw what he did!" Baoya touched his head and shrank. Neck said.
"Then what did he do?" the eldest brother asked curiously.
"He just sat there and threw a handful of weeds!"
"Is it that simple?" the elder brother asked in confusion. He got up so late in the middle of the night just to throw weeds into the water. Grass? Isn’t this a pain in the ass?
"Yes. It's absolutely true." Baoya nodded and said affirmatively.
"Weeds? Let's go and have a look." The eldest brother waved his hand and walked towards the place where Cheng Yu sat with his teeth.
"Brother, this is right here. He was sitting here throwing weeds just now." When he came to the edge of the swamp, Baoya pointed at the piece of land and said.
The eldest brother stood aside and looked around. There was nothing strange. Then he looked in the water and saw a weed floating around the swamp. Then he pointed to the grass and said: " Is it that grass?"
"This...should be it!" Bao Ya also recognized the grass and said weakly.
Pa~, another slap, "Useless thing, go back!" The elder brother was angry and turned around and left.
"It is indeed this grass." Baoya touched his head and whispered softly as he followed behind.
