Chapter 17: Forced to Turn Back
After I gave Ye Xun a look, I began to concentrate on studying the bronze tree.
The age of the formation of that bronze tree is probably in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, or earlier. There was no historical record of the Dian Kingdom of Yunnan until the Eastern Han Dynasty, but there is no historical data to inquire about the Dian Kingdom itself. In other words, this piece of information is equivalent to a blank, and I can only guess the origin of the bronze tree.
After looking at the bronze tree up and down twice, I dipped my hand in the mineral water and drew a sketch on the table: "If I am not mistaken, this bronze tree must also have a bronze base, and a huge canopy on top of the bronze tree." ”
"Let's not talk about the canopy, the base might look like this...... Or maybe that'......"
I drew two sketches in succession on the table, one with a square solid bronze pier, and the other with fibrous roots that stretched side by side like a long sword, just right to take root in the soil.
I muttered, "Neither of these things have been brought out, and to confirm my suspicions, I'll have to dive into the water to see what." But I don't see what kind of magic this bronze tree has that can make the water god come to him again and again. ”
I didn't hide it when I spoke, Chen Mingyu scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously on the edge of the pool: "Brother Wang Huan, you show me the thing you painted, I'll see if I've seen it." ”
I spread my hands and said, "I drew it on the table, how can I give it to you?" or you can throw me a notebook and a pen or something. ”
"Wait a minute......" When Chen Mingyu turned back to the villa in person, I suddenly heard a sound flashing in the grass in the distance.
I said in a deep voice, "Here, be careful." ”
When Ye Xun looked in the direction of my finger, there was a sudden sound of a trap being stepped on in the grass over there. All I heard was a muffled "poof" and a mist of blood erupted from the grass.
The splash of blood was like a signal for the water god to launch a general attack, and dozens of figures shot out from the vicinity of the villa one after another, and quickly pounced on the pool.
I gasped as I glanced at it. Among the water gods who were on all fours and running wild like wolves, there were even some covered with fluff. That's definitely not something in the water. Could it be that the water gods are still divided into different varieties?
Suddenly my mind flashed to the bronze ancient swords I had seen in the antique shop, and the thing on the hilt of the sword was very similar to that of the god of water.
Something suddenly flashed through my mind, but I couldn't grasp the point.
In just a few seconds, more than a dozen water gods fell into the villa's trap, and the rest of the water gods swarmed towards the pool. I watched as one of the apes at the head kicked up on the ground, directly over the range of the pond, and pounced on the bottom of the high platform.
"Wang Huan, be careful yourself. After Ye Xun threw me a dagger, he stood up, flipped out his arm crossbow from the guitar case, and fired two arrows in a row at the ape. The two arrows hit the opponent's chest less than a meter away from the water god, and the strong force immediately deflected the ape and fell straight into the water.
What I didn't expect was that the ape was about to fall over, staring at the side of the platform with both feet, and landed on the shore with its strength.
Ye Xun and I stumbled at the same time and almost fell off the platform. But the ape flipped twice in the air and landed on the shore. As soon as its feet touched the ground, a pair of iron clips rose from under the turf.
The jagged sound of the iron clamp closing was accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, and the ape also let out a scream, pointing in the direction of the high platform and roaring twice in succession. The water gods, who had just arrived at the edge of the pool, jumped into the water and circled around the high platform.
When I looked down into the water, I saw at least four translucent fins spinning rapidly in the water.
I turned my head in the direction of the villa and shouted, "Old Chen, hurry up!"
I didn't even shout twice, but Chen Mingyu didn't answer, and the water god hidden in the water had already begun to climb the high platform.
Ye Xun saw the opportunity, and with another arrow at a water god, he directly knocked the other party into the water. The crimson blood flowers expanded sharply along with the ripples in the water, and the remaining water gods seemed to go crazy in an instant under the stimulation of blood, and climbed straight to the high platform.
Only then did I know what Ye Xun meant by throwing me a dagger - the space above the high platform was limited, and if I wielded the long knife, it would be easy to cause accidental injury, but the dagger was more effective.
When I saw a water god peeking out of the edge of the platform, I immediately raised my dagger and stabbed it straight above the other's head. After the dagger more than seven inches long broke the scales on the head of the water god, it sank into the top of the opponent's head halfway.
Without waiting for the other person to scream, I immediately pulled out my dagger and threw a punch at the opponent's face. The god of water, who had just been pierced through the head with a dagger, flipped on his back and fell into the water after my punch.
I also roared angrily: "Chen Mingyu, what do you mean?"
Chen Mingyu stuck to the window of the villa and shouted: "Brother Wang Huan, if you hold on, my side will be done immediately." ”
Chen Mingyu is trying to say that he hasn't got the power supply yet? No, he's just stalling for time. Chen Mingyu shouted: "Brother Wang Huan, you insist on ...... again"
"Hold on to your mother!" I grabbed a piece of bronze tree from the table and threw it into the distance. The bronze tree, which I threw out like a stone, jumped twice on the edge of the pool and rolled into the grass.
The water god who was surrounding the high platform poured indifferently to the platform. I couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and immediately grabbed another piece of bronze tree and smashed it on the head of a water god, and flew off the stage together with the bronze tree and the water god.
After the two bronze trees were taken off, the water god's offensive not only did not weaken, but became more fierce.
I was stunned......
The two bronze trees that Chen Mingyu gave me must have been fakes made by him, and they were not attractive to the water god, otherwise, they would have turned around and grabbed the bronze trees instead of continuing to attack me.
But now the water god is rushing to the high platform like crazy, could it be that the last piece of bronze tree is in Ye Xun's hands?
When I turned my head to look at Ye Xun, the latter simply pushed the guitar case over: "Look for yourself." ”
I quickly opened the box and took a look, and there was no shadow of a bronze tree in it, except for a long knife and a few fragmentary weapons.
Before I could look up and ask Ye Xun anything, he slammed me down on the table. When I was holding the table with both hands and trying to stand up straight, I heard a gust of wind behind me, Ye Xun pressed my back with one hand, and my body leaned forward suddenly, and I immediately heard a muffled sound above my head.
By the time Ye Xun let go of me, a line of blood had already flowed from his forehead - Ye Xun shouldn't have had time to kill the water god behind me with a weapon, so he directly hit his head with his head, and then he hit his head and bleed.
At that time, I didn't have time to feel guilty about my suspicion of Ye Xun, and I didn't have time to thank Ye Xun. The only thing I have to think about is, what exactly is in us that attracts the water gods?
Chen Mingyu has always suspected that Chen Hui's bronze tree is on us, so he deliberately gave us two fake things. If the water god doesn't come tonight, he can naturally decide that we don't have anything on us, and he will find a reason to replace the fake with the real thing and ambush again.
However, the water god is not only here, but also frantically besieging Gaotai, if I don't come up with anything, Chen Mingyu will definitely not rescue us, my original plan is equivalent to cocooning myself.
I was anxious, but Chen Mingyu shouted loudly: "Brother Wang Huan, if you throw things over, it'll be fine." ”
I want to throw it too, but what do I throw it?
I quickly thought about what was on my body, but I couldn't help but feel a chill in my body.
I was the first person to be found, and when I was in the hotel, if I hadn't heard the water god open the door, I might have died at the hands of the other party. Then, didn't the water god leave immediately, but hid in the corner to monitor my whereabouts, and then fell into Ye Xun's hands?
At that time, what did I have?
Foxbell!
The only strange thing I have on me is a foxbell.
The woman gave me a travel voucher and gave me a foxbell...... Did I fall into someone else's trap in the first place? Those of my classmates died because of me?
When I couldn't help but tremble, Chen Mingyu shouted again: "Brother, money is something outside the body, you can throw things out!"
I immediately became angry and said, "The surname is Chen, you don't have to be trustworthy! If the two of us brothers die here, my senior brothers won't be able to spare you!"
I have already torn my face, and Chen Mingyu simply stopped acting: "If you are Maoshan disciples, why don't you see you using spirit talismans? ”
I shouted, "If you don't want that thing, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu will blow it up now, let's break it up!"
I swung my dagger in one hand to block the water god, and the other reached for the guitar case on the table. Anyway, Chen Mingyu can't see what's in the box, so what if he can bluff him first?
Chen Mingyu's face really changed, but he quickly calmed down: "Brother Wang Huan, you don't need to lie to me. If you really had * in that box, you would have used it a long time ago, so why wait until now? You can take it out and show me! You can take it out, even if I planted it. ”
Chen Mingyu is right, we are not too far from the villa, with the arm strength of the two of us, it is not a problem to throw * at the door of the villa, so why should I bother with Chen Mingyu.
Chen Mingyu saw that I couldn't take it out*, so he couldn't help but sneer: "Wang Huan, if you hand over something, we can continue to cooperate, and if you don't want to hand it over, I can also turn over your corpse." I took a fancy to your brain, so I left you a way out, if you don't know how to lift, then you can't blame others. ”
"Lift you bullshit! Lao Tzu won't die today, I'll skin you alive tomorrow......" I roared angrily and reached out to touch the fox bell on my body.
