Chapter 1034

Armored Crocodile

"There are so many medicinal herbs!"

Looking at the various types of medicinal herbs in the basin, many people in the group were moved. Their eyes sparkled, but no one stepped forward to pick them.

Before they set off, Sun Xing had already said that the Sun Family's group would be the first to pick the medicinal herbs. After picking all the medicinal herbs they needed, they could divide the rest equally among themselves.

"Sorry for the trouble!"

Sun Xing cupped his hands towards the crowd, then led Sun Jia into the basin. Wu Chen, Yi Can and the rest silently stood guard at the entrance of the basin, watching as Sun Jia and Sun Xing continuously selected the medicinal ingredients within the basin.

Zhuowen, who was silently standing in the group, narrowed his eyes as he stared at the topography of the basin. He muttered in a low voice: "The Yuan Qi in this basin is so rich, it's a little unusual!"

Although Zhuowen knew that the Yuan Qi in places where there were many medicinal herbs would be extremely rich, the Yuan Qi in this basin was unusually rich.

"Kid!

I'm afraid that there is a small Yuan Vein at the bottom of this basin that contains a considerable amount of Spirit Stones, "Xiao Hei's voice suddenly rang out in Zhuowen's mind, causing Zhuowen's eyes to narrow slightly.

"Really?"

Zhuowen's gaze became serious. If there really was a small Yuan Vein at the bottom of this basin, it would be enough to cause many practitioners to go crazy.

Looking around, Zhuowen realized that most of the people's attention was on the medicinal herbs in the basin, and no one had noticed the abnormality in the Yuan Qi in the basin.

"Kid, there are too many people now. If you rashly find the Yuan Vein, it won't do you any good!" Xiao Hei opened her mouth again.

Zhuowen nodded his head. His expression did not change as he followed the group and silently waited for Sun Xing and Sun Jia to pick the medicinal herbs. After about two hours, Sun Xing and Sun Jia finally finished picking all the medicinal herbs they needed.

Then, Yi Can and Wu Chen took the lead and entered the basin. If they saw any suitable elixirs, they would pick them and put them in their Spirit Rings.

Zhuowen followed the team and strolled casually in the basin. Occasionally, he would encounter suitable elixirs and naturally keep them. However, most of Zhuowen's attention was placed on the concentration of Yuan Qi in the basin. He knew that the place with the highest concentration was definitely the hidden exit of the Yuan Vein in the basin.

Once the exit of the Yuan Vein was found, everything would be easy. As long as they dug three feet into the ground, they would be able to unearth the Yuan Vein hidden within.

Slowly going deeper into the basin, Zhuowen was guided by Xiao Hei to a place about two li away from the entrance of the basin. This position was very close to the center of the basin. When Zhuowen reached this place, Xiao Hei timely stopped him.

"The location of the elemental vein is right below your feet. Kid, make a mark here. The next time you come here, all you have to do is to dig up this area," Xiao Hei said to Zhuowen cautiously.

"Okay!

Let's leave this place first. Otherwise, it would be bad if we arouse the suspicion of others, "Zhuowen nodded his head. Soon after, he returned to the exit of the basin as if nothing had happened.

"Young master Zhuo!

You came out so early, why didn't you pick more elixirs? "Seeing Zhuowen walk out, Sun Xing lightly smiled and asked.

Zhuowen shook his head and said: "Most of the elixirs here are of no use to me. It would be a waste to pick more."

Hearing this, Sun Xing nodded his head. Although there were many types of elixirs in the basin, most of them were materials that were used in more remote areas. These materials were not of much use to a practitioner. Only in the hands of an alchemist would these materials be able to display their corresponding effects.

Standing beside Sun Xing, Sun Jia indifferently glanced at Zhuowen. Soon after, her pair of beautiful watery eyes landed on Yi Can and Wu Chen. Among this group, Yi Can and Wu Chen were the strongest. Therefore, Sun Jia paid more attention to these two people.

As for Zhuowen, because he had shrunk into the crowd during their journey, he did not have the slightest bit of heroic spirit. Therefore, Sun Jia treated Zhuowen the same way she treated other ordinary practitioners, neither cold nor indifferent.

Zhuowen naturally did not care about Sun Jia's thoughts and attitude. At this moment, he was thinking about how to sneak out of the Sun Family group after they left and return to the basin to dig up the elemental vein hidden here.

"Kid!

Let's wait until the Sun Family group returns to the Sun Family and you receive the Channel Opening Pill. It is still too early to think about the elemental vein now. "Xiao Hei softly advised.

"Looks like this is the only way." Zhuowen nodded and secretly transmitted his voice.

After a while, Yi Can and Wu Chen walked out of the basin one after another. Most of the other ten people followed behind them. When they walked out, everyone's faces revealed a satisfied expression.

"Since the elixirs have been harvested, everyone should follow me back to the Sun Family. When the time comes, I will definitely give everyone the Channel Opening Pill as their reward." Sun Xing said sincerely.

When everyone heard this, their eyes revealed excitement. They had risked their lives to help the Sun Family mainly because of the Channel Opening Pill. Now that Sun Xing had promised, their hearts were naturally at ease.

Sun Xing said a few more words and led the group back the way they came. What was worth praising was that on the way back, the slim and elegant Sun Jia seemed to be quite close to Yi Can and Wu Chen. Along the way, the three of them chatted and laughed.

Sun Xing silently watched this scene without any displeasure. The strength of the Sun Family's pharmacists was generally very low. The family would usually send powerful warriors to protect the family's pharmacists.

After all, the pharmacists of the Sun Family had the secret formula to refine the Channel Opening Pill. Many forces in Anming City coveted the secret formula of the Channel Opening Pill from the Sun Family. Thus, they would send their own warriors to snatch the pharmacists. Some were even more ruthless and would go all out to kill the pharmacists.

Therefore, the pharmacists must be protected by powerful warriors. Moreover, this powerful warrior must be very close to them. Therefore, the spouses of the pharmacists of the Sun Family were all famous warriors on the Auspicious Spirit Island.

Sun Jia was in the prime of her youth. This time, the people who accepted the Sun Family's commission were basically geniuses from various forces. Whether it was talent or strength, they were all very good and could be considered the best of the best.

Therefore, Sun Xing's commission this time had another purpose, and that was to find a good son-in-law for his daughter. With a powerful warrior as her spouse, his daughter's safety in the future would be guaranteed. Why not?

Among this group of people, Sun Xing favored Yi Can and Wu Chen the most. The two of them were only twenty-five years old and had already reached the peak of the Golden Exalt realm. Their talent was unquestionable. Moreover, their strength wasn't weak in the entire Auspicious Spirit Island.

Next was Zhuowen from the Auspicious Spirit Island. Unfortunately, this Zhuowen's strength was too weak. He was only in the Sovereign realm. Although his battle strength wasn't weak, in Sun Xing's heart, he still wasn't as important as Yi Can and Wu Chen.

In fact, in Sun Xing's heart, the best candidate should be a genius from the Auspicious Spirit Island. After all, with the Auspicious Spirit Island as their backing, there really wasn't anyone who dared to provoke them.

If the Auspicious Spirit Island sent a Golden Exalt, perhaps Sun Xing would try his best to matchmake them. Unfortunately, this time, the one who came was only at the peak of the Sovereign realm. As for entrusting his daughter to Zhuowen, Sun Xing still felt that it wasn't appropriate.

Fortunately, Sun Jia didn't take a fancy to Zhuowen. Instead, she took a fancy to Yi Can and Wu Chen. When the time came, they only needed to duel to determine the winner. Then, Sun Xing planned to recruit the winner into their Sun Jia.

In the group, many people looked enviously at Yi Can, Wu Chen, and Sun Jia, who were talking and laughing in front of them. Sun Jia's identity as an Alchemist was something they coveted. This was an occupation that could create all kinds of amplification medicines. It went without saying that it would be a great help to a cultivator.

Unfortunately, their strength and talent were far from Yi Can and Wu Chen's. It was normal for others to look down on them. Although they were envious in their hearts, they couldn't do anything about it.

* Rumble! *

Suddenly, the sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking violently. Many people were caught off guard and their footsteps became weak, almost falling to the ground.

"What's going on?"

After regaining their senses, everyone's eyes were filled with fear and they couldn't help but shout.

* Deng Deng Deng! *

Dull footsteps sounded in front of them. The footsteps sounded like a mountain crashing down, causing everyone to feel suffocated and extremely uncomfortable.

* Boom! *

Then, everyone saw the lush forest in front of them shake violently. Then, it collapsed forward with a crash. Then, a figure the size of a small mountain appeared in front of everyone.

It was a huge crocodile that was four to five hundred feet tall. The scales on its body stood up like black steel. Under the sunlight, it reflected a frightening cold light.

Rows of fangs protruded from its bloody mouth. They were deathly white and looked extremely terrifying.

The huge crocodile that was the size of a small mountain stared at the people in front of it with its merciless eyes. It opened its bloody mouth and roared fiercely. Suddenly, a fishy smell rushed out.

"An adult Armored Crocodile?"

Looking at the huge crocodile in front of them, Sun Xing and the people behind him changed their expressions. They cursed in their hearts.

"Why are we so unlucky?

We actually encountered such a troublesome and terrifying Meta Beast, "Sun Xing muttered with a pale face.

The Armored Crocodile's body was like armor and was as strong as black iron. Its defense was extremely terrifying and it was extremely difficult to kill. In addition, the power of the Armored Crocodile's bloody mouth was also very terrifying. If one was bitten by it, at least one would lose an arm or a leg. In serious cases, one's entire body would be bitten into pieces.
