Chapter 229: Situ Mingzhu is promoted to the Red Imperial Academy, a strange new passage
Situ Mingzhu, who was directing the battle, was stunned: "What did Lu Ming mean just now?"
Ah Le, who had had some experience, had already guessed what Lu Ming meant, and he spoke up to remind him.
"You have found the red life seal for promotion to the Hanlin realm. From now on, you must be careful. If Lu Ming calls you, go there immediately."
When Situ Mingzhu heard this, her eyes lit up and she looked at Lu Ming with anticipation.
Surrounded by a group of crocodiles, Lu Ming looked at the Sawtooth Crocodile King in front of him without fear.
"You are carrying the red life seal. I will not let you escape today no matter what."
The Sawtooth Crocodile King clearly felt Lu Ming's malice towards it and immediately became furious.
"Damn human, I'm a level 60 Sawtooth Crocodile King. If you dare to attack me, you're courting death!"
The Sawtooth Crocodile King was furious. He hadn't even settled the score with Lu Ming yet, but the other party had the audacity to already be targeting him.
"Roar"
The Sawtooth Crocodile King roared, opened its five-meter-long mouth and bit down, wanting to swallow the human in front of it alive.
Looking at the mouth full of fangs emitting a fishy smell, Lu Ming not only did not retreat, but he took two steps forward and walked into the mouth of the Sawtooth Crocodile King.
"Fuck, what is Lu Ming doing?" When Ale saw Lu Ming take the initiative to walk into the mouth of the Sawtooth Crocodile King, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Situ Mingzhu also frowned. She knew that Lu Ming would not seek death, but she also couldn't understand his actions.
Not only did Ale and the others not understand, the Sawtooth Crocodile King was also confused: "What's going on?"
"Could it be that this human sensed my strength, knew he could not defeat me, and volunteered to die?"
"Since this human is so sensible, I will be merciful and give him a quick death."
The Sawtooth Crocodile King thought Lu Ming was seeking death!
But does Lu Ming really want to die?
That is naturally impossible!
Seeing the big mouth begin to close, Lu Ming finally took action.
Lu Ming was seen supporting his chin with his feet and raising his arms high.
"Stop it!"
Under Lu Ming's tremendous force, the closing mouth was forced to stop immediately.
The Sawtooth Crocodile King was startled, thinking to himself: "This kid is really strong, but he wants to stop me? Wishful thinking!"
The Sawtooth Crocodile King immediately increased his strength, preparing to bite Lu Ming to death, but was horrified to find that he still could not close his mouth.
"how so!"
The Sawtooth Crocodile King's small eyes revealed an expression of disbelief.
Even an ordinary crocodile can have a bite force of up to 1.9 tons. The Sawtooth Crocodile King, as a monster and the king among them, has a bite force of an astonishing 20 tons.
But even with such a terrifying bite force, it was defeated by Lu Ming.
No matter how hard the Sawtooth Crocodile King tried, his mouth just couldn't close.
"Roar"
The Sawtooth Crocodile King became anxious and used his signature skills.
Death roll!
It is hard to imagine how such a huge body can rotate so rapidly and continuously.
The Sawtooth Crocodile King wanted to make Lu Ming dizzy by rolling so that he could be swallowed.
A minute later, the death roll ended, but the situation did not develop as the Sawtooth Crocodile King had expected, and Lu Ming was not affected at all.
Seeing this, the Sawtooth Crocodile King became even more anxious and began to mobilize elemental attacks.
The water element quickly condensed in the throat, and a high-speed rotating water ball gradually formed.
Lu Ming's eyebrows moved slightly: "I wanted to play around, but since you're so eager to die, I'll help you."
The surging ghost power gathered between his fists, and Lu Ming's eyes flashed fiercely: "Break it for me."
"boom"
With one punch, the Sawtooth Crocodile King's mouth was instantly pierced, revealing a large hole with a radius of nearly one meter.
Lu Ming jumped out of the hole.
"Ow"
The Sawtooth Crocodile King screamed in pain, and his shrill screams frightened all the monsters around him.
Without waiting for the Sawtooth Crocodile King to recover from the pain, Lu Ming grabbed its tail and began to kill it.
"Just die."
Lu Ming threw the Sawtooth Crocodile King, which was more than 30 meters long and weighed dozens of tons, over his shoulder and was lifted up by Lu Ming.
"Boom"
A large pit more than one meter deep appeared in the earthquake.
This fall completely interrupted the Sawtooth Crocodile King's screams. It was dizzy and had stars in its eyes.
Lu Ming's fall was just the beginning. After that, Lu Ming hugged the Sawtooth Crocodile King and started to wrestle him continuously.
"boom"
"boom"
"boom"
Under the shocked gazes of the monsters, the Sawtooth Crocodile King was repeatedly hugged and thrown around.
Two minutes later, the fight ended.
At this time, the Sawtooth Crocodile King no longer had its previous majesty. The hard scales on his body were broken, scarlet blood was flowing everywhere, his eyes were closed, and he lost consciousness.
Lu Ming grabbed its tail and said, "Mingzhu, I leave it to you."
As he spoke, he threw the Sawtooth Crocodile King over.
Looking at the Sawtooth Crocodile King who was breathing in more than out, Situ Mingzhu was stunned.
"The level 60 Sawtooth Crocodile King was defeated just like that?"
Lu Ming beat a level 60 monster to the brink of death with his own strength alone, and the opponent had no power to resist at all during the whole process. This kind of strength was difficult for her to accept for a while.
Seeing that Situ Mingzhu was still in a daze, A Le quickly reminded her.
"Mingzhu, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and kill the Sawtooth Crocodile King."
It was only after A Le's reminder that Situ Mingzhu came to her senses.
"Eternal Night Wind"
The green robe on Situ Mingzhu released a black wind that enveloped the Sawtooth Crocodile King.
The next moment, the Sawtooth Crocodile King quickly decomposed and disappeared, as if it had never appeared, leaving only a life seal emitting red light in its place.
"Red life seal!"
Situ Mingzhu's face was filled with shock.
Although Ale had told her before that Lu Ming could help her find the red seal needed to advance to a higher realm, the probability of the red seal dropping was very low, so she was skeptical about it.
But now the red seal was right in front of her, so she had no choice but to believe it.
Ah Le looked at Situ Mingzhu who was in a daze and smiled: "Are you shocked?"
"Huh" Situ Mingzhu let out a breath.
"This is really unbelievable. Lu Ming actually found the red seal."
Situ Mingzhu looked at Ah Le and asked, "Did he help you find your life seal?"
Seeing Ah Le nod in agreement, Situ Mingzhu murmured, "It seems that Lu Ming has a way to accurately find the Seal of Destiny."
Her eyes lit up: "In this way, he can use this ability to become a guest of honor among the powerful people of the entire continent!"
Ah Le quickly reminded: "Mingzhu, the fact that Lu Ming could find the Seal of Destiny must be kept secret and must not be told to anyone."
Situ Mingzhu was not stupid and quickly understood A Le's worries.
"That's right. There must be many people who covet this kind of heaven-defying ability. Once this secret is made public, Lu Ming will be in danger."
"Don't think about it, absorb the life seal quickly."
With A Le's reminder, Situ Mingzhu absorbed the red life seal and officially became a level 61 red-sealed Hanlin!
It was at this time that Lu Ming returned.
After witnessing Lu Ming's terrifying strength, the wild saw-tooth crocodiles immediately retreated.
Are you kidding? Even the most powerful king was beaten to death. How could they be a match for Lu Ming and his two companions?
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, all the wild saw-toothed crocodiles retreated back to the lake.
Although these monsters retreated back to the lake, they did not leave and were still staring at Lu Ming and the other two in the lake.
These monsters all had the same idea: I am no match for them on land, but I can definitely kill these three humans in the water.
They were waiting for Lu Ming to enter the lake.
Ah Le looked at the many monsters emerging from the lake and asked in a panic: "Lu Ming, what should we do now?"
"Is there no other way?"
Ah Le took out the map and said, "We are now in Lengyue Lake. Only by passing through here can we reach the treasure behind. There is no other way to go."
Lu Ming frowned slightly when he heard this.
He is much stronger now, but the monsters in front of him are even stronger in the water, and there are many monsters in the lake, so it is very risky to force his way through the lake.
Situ Mingzhu looked up and said, "If it doesn't work, let's try to fly over."
"No way"
Lu Ming rejected it directly.
"Flying in the air may seem like a way to avoid the water monsters, but in fact, it will make the situation even more troublesome."
"Most of the monsters in the water have long-range attack methods. At a height of only fifty meters, they can easily attack us."
"Not only will we have to deal with the hairy assassins above us, but we will also have to deal with the monsters in the water. It will be very dangerous."
Ah Le frowned and said, "Then how should we go?"
Lu Ming stared at the many monsters in the lake, his eyes flashing with brilliance: "If it doesn't work, we can just walk across the lake and fight our way out."
All three are action-oriented people. Once they make a decision, they implement it immediately.
Fortunately, Lu Ming had made some preparations and had already stored a canoe in the box monster.
Seeing Lu Ming and his men taking out the wooden boat, all the monsters in the lake stared at the three with ill intentions.
"It seems that these three humans are going to go down to the lake. If they dare to go down, they will be buried at the bottom of the lake!"
The monsters were always keeping their eyes on Lu Ming and the other two. Many of them had even begun to condense elemental power, ready to attack at any time.
These monsters all had one idea: as soon as Lu Ming and his two companions entered the lake, they would launch an overwhelming attack and would definitely destroy them.
Feeling the malice emanating from the monster in the water, A Le and Situ Mingzhu felt quite nervous.
After all, they were facing tens of thousands of monsters in the lake, so it was normal to feel pressured.
When Lu Ming and the other two stepped into the boat and the monsters were preparing to attack, the magic bat flew to Lu Ming's side.
"squeak"
Lu Ming listened attentively, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
"Really?"
Seeing the Magic Bat nod seriously, Lu Ming's smile became even wider.
Ah Le and Situ Mingzhu looked at him curiously: "Lu Ming, what makes you so happy?"
"The Magic Bat found another way, which seems to be safer."
"Really?" Ah Le slapped his thigh excitedly when he heard that.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly."
Led by the Magic Bat, the three of them packed up the boat and headed for another passage.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a new passage.
This place is close to the lake, and there is also water in the passage, but not much, only enough to cover the ankles.
However, the water here is the same as that in the lake, but there are no traces of monsters in the passage.
Seeing this, Ah Le laughed happily: "There really is such a passage. Now we can pass through safely."
He taunted the monsters in the lake, "Still want to attack us?"
"Come if you have the guts!"
"I promise you will never come back!"
The monsters in the lake glared at A Le. They were furious at his arrogance, but they did not dare to rush over.
Just as Ale said, they dared to attack in the lake, and could escape if they couldn't win. But once they left the lake, they were like lambs to be slaughtered, and were no match for the three men.
Faced with A Le's provocation, the monsters could only glare at him and dared not take any other action.
It was not until the three people entered the passage that a strange light appeared in the eyes of the monsters, as if they were very happy that the three people entered the passage.
That look was like looking at a dead person, as if Lu Ming and the others were not walking into a path to pass the level, but a path to the underworld of death!
After Lu Ming and the other two walked into the passage, Lu Ming reminded.
"Everyone, be careful. This passage is close to the lake, and there may be monsters there."
Ah Le and Situ Mingzhu were naturally aware of this and were very careful when walking.
But after walking in the passage for more than ten minutes, the three of them could not find anything unusual, and even the magic bats exploring the way ahead did not send any warning.
Lu Ming touched his chin, a little confused: "Is this passage safe because there are no monsters?"
Lu Ming did not notice that after the three people passed by, the flow of accumulated water in the passage became somewhat abnormal.
The accumulated water that should have flowed downstream actually flowed upstream. Although it was not obvious, it could still be discovered with careful observation.
Although he found nothing abnormal, Lu Ming just felt something was wrong.
The further you go, the more obvious this feeling becomes.
"No, this passage must be dangerous."
People's sixth sense is still very accurate, especially for experts, whose sixth sense is even more precise.
Lu Ming sensed something was wrong and immediately summoned all the life beasts.
Seeing the destiny beast emerging from the light, A Le and Situ Mingzhu summoned the destiny beast at the same time without any hesitation.
"Lu Ming, what did you find?"
Lu Ming looked around carefully: "I haven't found anything yet, but I always feel like something is wrong."
"Double pupil"
Lu Ming, who had not noticed the problem, immediately opened his double pupils.
“The rock wall is fine.”
“The top is fine.”
“The water flow is fine.”
.......
Lu Ming checked everything he could, but still didn't find any problems.
But my sixth sense still reminds me that there is danger here.
"What's the problem?"
Lu Ming pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Ah Le, let the Evil Fire Demon Tiger attack."
Out of unconditional trust in Lu Ming, A Le did not even ask the reason for doing so and directly gave the order.
"Evil Fire Demon Tiger, attack."
In an instant, a dark green flame ignited on the body of the Evil Fire Demon Tiger.
The flames of the Evil Fire Demon Tiger can burn the soul. No matter how strong the enemy's hiding ability is, he will be exposed by the flames.
As it turned out, Lu Ming's approach was quite correct.
The moment the flames started, a shrill scream was heard and the three people found the water boiling beneath their feet.
Lu Ming's expression was stern: "There's something wrong with the water!"
He quickly grabbed Ale and leaped up, flying towards the rock wall.
"puff"
The palm of the hand was inserted into the rock wall as easily as tofu, hanging in the air, separated from the water under the feet.
As for Situ Mingzhu, she was flying directly in the air wearing the green robe.
Under the gaze of the three people, countless streams of water in the accumulated water converged together to form water balls the size of washbasins.
It was not until the moment they gathered that Lu Ming discovered the faint fluctuations of water elements from them.
Almost in the blink of an eye, hundreds of such water balls appeared in front of Lu Ming and his team.
"what is this?"
