Chapter 895: Longchuan Water Demon

However, Lu Xun raised his sleeve to block his eyes, and the arrows hit his sleeve like hitting rotten leather, falling into the river with a few *pu-pu* sounds. He was pulled ashore by Liu Tiao, and before he could stand firm, he said: "There is something in the water!"

Just a glimpse, as if seeing a green shadow flash by under the rapid water surface?

That thing is not small, and it's ill-intentioned.

The guards on the shore immediately fired signal arrows into the sky, summoning the nearby Jade Balance Army to come to their aid.

In just these few breaths, He Lingchuan had been pushed several *zhang* away by the current. He raised his hand and fired a sleeve arrow at the riverbank, preparing to fix himself.

The guards on the shore saw this and rushed over to pull him out of the water.

But just as they pulled him halfway, the river water exploded with a *hua-la* sound, and a behemoth rushed out!

From He Lingchuan's angle, he could only see a triangular bloody mouth rushing toward his face, and dozens of yellowish conical teeth.

A guard on the shore exclaimed, because they were looking down at the river and could see that this was a behemoth over two *zhang* long, covered in scales, with thorns on its back—

"Crocodile Demon!"

Although this monster's size couldn't compare to the old Crocodile God by the Immortal Lake, it was more than enough to swallow He Lingchuan in one gulp.

But the angle of its mouth was very small, only requiring a firm bite on He Lingchuan.

The force of this bite could snap an old cow's thigh bone.

The Floating Life Knife was too long; in the emergency, He Lingchuan grabbed the short knife used for splitting and stuffed it into its mouth.

The Crocodile Demon felt pain and shook, throwing him into the water.

He Lingchuan sank under the muddy yellow river surface and looked, unexpectedly seeing many water demon shadows!

Are these Longchuan water demons?

Water tribes rarely stay in rapid river water, especially swimming out of Longchuan in groups to attack the Jade Balance Army, which is even more unimaginable.

Needless to say, only the Xiji puppet army would dare to do this.

Blood flowers suddenly bloomed on the giant crocodile, probably shot by the guards above.

Yuan power causes great damage to these wild monsters.

But a big guy emerged from the muddy water, rushing straight toward He Lingchuan, with a pointed head and round eyes, a mouth of steel teeth like blades, even more ferocious than the giant crocodile.

Streamlined body, fast as a cheat in the water.

*Damn*, Giant Shark?! He Lingchuan couldn't believe his eyes. Are there sharks in Longchuan? Last time he had the Thousand Gold Stronghold do a monster census, they didn't find it at all! Is this place still dozens of miles away from the sea?

*Uh*, he doesn't know much about sharks, but it seems that some sharks can indeed enter freshwater basins to find food.

The giant shark rushed straight at him, opened its mouth when it got close, and the caliber was even larger than the giant crocodile.

If the chatterbox mirror were on him, He Lingchuan might dare to take a bite, the problem is it's not, so his countermeasure was to seize the opportunity and press his hand on the shark's nose, borrow force to do a forward somersault, and flip over the top of the giant shark's forehead!

This is like jumping in front of a speeding car; the timing must be grasped, the judgment must be precise, early or late is a tragedy, and not jumping high enough is also the end of flying horizontally.

He Lingchuan flipped over the top of those three rows of razor-like sharp teeth, dangerously and dangerously.

However, the giant shark's left and right head swings can be fast and fierce, but looking up is much clumsier. With just that small angle of looking up, it couldn't eat He Lingchuan into its mouth.

It had to swim out from under He Lingchuan, its body was huge, and its turning radius was also large; it had to swing its tail to make a turn before it could adjust the angle to attack the target again.

Just at this time, a black shadow appeared from the shark's tail, rushing toward He Lingchuan's back, actually fast as an arrow, completely unaffected by the resistance under the water.

Everywhere was the sound of water *gu-du*, He Lingchuan couldn't hear the strange sound behind him, but felt a cold chill from the back of his neck rushing to his forehead.

Danger!

That kind of sharp murderous aura, as if substantial, stung the back of his neck.

Turning around now is definitely too late; He Lingchuan raised his left hand and fired a sleeve arrow toward the source of the murderous aura.

The special military equipment for the Great Commander is still easy to use after entering the water.

This is also his reaction and judgment tempered through hundreds of battles; it just happened to shoot at the attacker's forehead.

The attacker could only dodge, and He Lingchuan himself was pushed forward by the reaction force.

Coincidentally, the dorsal fin that slid past his side was high and wide, like a small sail, so He Lingchuan grabbed a long spear from the storage ring and stabbed it in! The shark skin is very thick, but the spear tip was flashing with red light. He Lingchuan's own strength, plus the assistance of Yuan power, broke the giant shark's defense at once.

A group of blood flowers exploded in the water.

The giant shark felt pain, suddenly swung its tail and rushed out seven or eight *zhang*, struggling wildly while shaking its head and tail. But the river channel is not as wide as the ocean after all, and it hit the rocks on the shore several times, making *peng-peng* muffled sounds.

Fortunately, He Lingchuan already had copper skin and iron bones, and propped up his protective *gang* energy, otherwise his face would have been scratched and bleeding.

The guards on the shore followed the sound.

He Lingchuan held the long spear tightly, avoiding being thrown off. Only then did he dare to look back to see what exactly had attacked him.

Behind him was a mess, the guards who fell into the water were busy fighting with water demons, and there were all kinds of messy things in the rapid river, disturbing the line of sight.

But nothing looked like the attacker.

Where did that thing hide?

On the shore, the guard team that hadn't crossed the river tried to take a detour. Their mounts were just ordinary horses and couldn't jump ten *zhang* away like rock sheep.

The riverbank was slightly narrower ten-odd *zhang* away, perhaps they could try to jump with force? The heavy rain not long ago caused the water surface to widen, increasing the difficulty for reinforcements.

The door panel on the opposite bank was defending against the enemy while saying to Hu Min: "Hurry up!"

Hu Min was muttering something, and rolled his eyes at him for urging. Does it take time to hold a big move? Several stray arrows headed straight for him, all knocked away by the door panel raising his shield.

"The Commander is still in the water, stop slacking off!"

Hu Min finally finished chanting, threw a doll into the water, and then freed his mouth to curse:

"You do it if you can!"

Before the doll entered the water, it changed size with two *peng-peng* sounds, turning into an iron-clad copper man one *zhang* five high.

Jade Balance City newly built ten copper men, to be used for city defense and transporting supplies in the future, currently still semi-finished products, even summoning them requires using a formula, unlike He Lingchuan's Golden Armor Guards that can transform instantly.

Hu Min followed He Lingchuan's instructions and usually carried one on his body, not expecting to use it this time.

It stood straight, and the river water just submerged its chest.

The copper man was wide and thick, so the force-bearing surface was large, and the strong water current made it stagger, one hand firmly grasping the riverbank rock, only then standing firm.

Under Hu Min's control, it scooped up the guards in the water and threw them to the opposite bank one by one.

Every time one was thrown up, the pressure on the opposite bank was reduced by one point.

In an instant, the river water suddenly condensed into two transparent giant pythons, binding the iron-clad copper man's hands and feet tightly, wanting to push it into the river.

Jade Balance City made the copper men just to borrow their carrying ability, not yet processed and upgraded, and its body strength and power were far inferior to the copper guards. Not to mention the huge impact of the water current, this copper man couldn't break free from the restraint for a while.

Lu Xun asked curiously: "Among the Longchuan water bandits, there are so many sorcerers?"
