Chapter 259: Step by step
Ye Xun said in a low voice: "That's Tianwu." ”
The image of Tianwu in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is very close to the enlightened beast and Lu Wu, both of them are human heads and tiger bodies, but Tianwu is eight heads and eight tails, one less than the enlightened beast. The Enlightened Beast and Lu Wu respectively guarded the two heavenly gates of West Kunlun, but Tianwu was the legendary god of water, and some people directly defined Tianwu as Hebo.
The monster on the shore was able to manipulate the current, which only meant that it was Tianwu, but it did not give birth to eight heads. But in any case, the appearance of Tianwu made me even more convinced that this was the alchemy place of the ancient Danshi.
The immortal elixir in mythology is not from the hand of the Yellow Emperor, but from the Queen Mother of the West on West Kunlun. There are tiger-shaped beasts guarding West Kunlun, and Tianwu appeared on Dan Island, perhaps because the Danshi on the island are following the example of West Kunlun and making a tiger-shaped Tianwu to guard Dan Island.
Ye Xun said in a low voice: "When I shot Tianwu just now, it collapsed the water flow, it should be relying on the water droplets with its own smell to find our location, and we will die when we get out of the water." ”
Ye Xun's words are not only for me, but also for the freeness behind me. Maybe he recognized Tianwu a long time ago, so he hid in the water and didn't move.
I've just calmed down here, and Tianwu is also moving his four paws around us.
"Squat!" After Ye Xun pressed my shoulder and pressed me into the water, I closed my eyes and felt for the crossbow arrow and pressed it into the crossbow groove.
I didn't dare open my eyes in the sewage, but my ears could hear the movement around me, and in the blink of an eye, I was in a certain position, raised my hand and shot an arrow at the other person.
Shortly after the bolt left the string, a scream was heard nearby. The man instinctively jumped out of the water, and at the same time the tiger roared and the wind swept wildly on the shore, and in the next moment, Tianwu had already plunged into the water.
I subconsciously opened my eyes and saw that the huge tiger body sank to the bottom of the water with a figure, and the moment the red blood stains surged up wildly in the muddy water, Tianwu bit the bloody corpse and jumped out of the water. It didn't take long for the sound of the human body being torn apart by the tiger's claws again.
I took advantage of this moment to quietly turn around in the water, and picked up* to aim in the other direction. In my impression, the moment Tianwu entered the water, there should have been people moving over there.
Before I could pull the spring, I felt the water around me fluctuate slightly. By the time I looked back, Yu Na had sneaked up to about two feet away from me, and the short sword in her hand silently stabbed me under the armpit.
As soon as I turned around and shot at the other man, I quickly approached us with four probes. Several people all gave up their original weapons, and one by one they pulled out daggers and approached Ye Xun and me.
The puddle where we are hiding, according to the Northeast dialect, is a water bubble, the depth of the water is about one meter and a half at most, and when I stand up, I can show a small half of my body from the water, and Tianwu is constantly eyeing each other on the shore, so we can only squat in the water to attack each other.
I saw that I was approaching, and when I slashed at the opponent's dagger, my men also brought the dagger to me. I squatted on the ground with my feet, blocked my mind with a knife, and when I reached out to grab the other party's dagger, Yu Na, who had been avoided by me, came quietly from behind me.
I was surrounded on three sides, and Ye Xun was also in crisis, and the two of us gave up parrying each other's daggers almost at the same time, and suddenly jumped up and jumped out of the water. In mid-air, Ye Xunren drew out * and fired two arrows in the direction of Tianwu.
As soon as the sound of the crossbow arrow bowstring vibrating, Tianwu immediately went crazy and went straight to Ye Xun and fell.
"Shoot!" Ye Xun slapped in front of me with a violent drink, and I followed with a punch and hit his palm. We each flipped into the water with a heavy blow, but Tianwu threw himself into the water after the two of us.
My first instinct when I got into the water was to run away. What I didn't expect was that this time when he fell into the water, Tianwu didn't hit the target again, but stood in the water and let out a tiger roar.
As a loud roar of clouds rose into the sky, the mud-filled water was shaken into the sky, and a group of us were exposed to the mud puddle.
"Let's go!" Ye Xun greeted me and turned over and jumped to the shore. I was about to get up when the muddy water fell from the sky, and my feet slipped and I fell half a meter down the slope of the puddle, and when I tried to start again, Tianwu's tiger claws came close behind me.
I was about to turn around to meet the enemy, but Ye Xun grabbed a detective who climbed ashore and smashed it at us. Tianwu, who had already been attached to me, was attracted by the sound of the wind, suddenly turned around, and I also started to run onto the shore.
Yu Na, who was guarding the shore, didn't wait for me to stand firm, and quickly reached out with a sword and pressed it against my throat: "Ye Xun, abandon the knife." ”
Yu Na only said four words, and Ye Xun threw down the long knife. Yu Na said coldly: "Leave four people to drag Tianwu, and the rest of the people will take them away." "A few detectives rushed over quickly, slapped two long needles on the shoulders of Ye Xun and me, and dragged me into the depths of the barren grass together.
When I was forcibly pulled forward by the other party, I tried to raise my hand several times to fight back, but I couldn't lift my arms. Those two steel needles are almost equivalent to pipa hooks, once the prisoner's pipa bones are locked, no matter how high your martial arts are, you will not be able to exert your strength.
He took us for five or six hundred meters before he gradually stopped, and the other party kicked me to the ground without waiting for me to stand firm: "To attack the same door, you are also worthy of being a god probe?"
I sneered and looked at the other party, "Why did you ever think of me as a member of the Detective Hand?"
I couldn't help but be stunned on the spot when I asked. I stood up and said, "You dare to say that you didn't kill me in your mission? You want to kill me, why can't I fight back?"
Suixin's face was gloomy and said, "Take care of them, I'll pick up those brothers." ”
Before she could leave, Yu Na waved her hand and said, "No need, those four people themselves are left for Tianwu." Let's keep walking. ”
"You ......," said casually, "everyone who breaks the dawn comes." ”
Yu Na's face changed slightly: "Whatever you want, what do you mean?"
He said calmly: "The Tao is not the same. You captured the two of them, I don't want your people, but I have to take my people away. ”
Yu Na's voice sank and said, "Whatever you want, you have to think clearly......"
"I don't have much to think about. "Take off the long knife on your body as you like," and this is the end of our cooperation. Let's go!"
casually left with his subordinates, and Yu Na said with a cold in her eyes: "Take them and continue to go deeper." ”
Not long after Yu Na and a few of us quickly rushed into the depths of the island, I heard the sound of water surging behind me. Yu Na just glanced back and scolded: "Damn, why did Tianwu come at us......?"
I took Yu Na's words and said, "There is no water around here, but there are trees. Seeing that the tree in the distance was not hiding under the tree, Tianwu did not dare to come. ”
The speed of Tianwu who came from treading water was as fast as a galloping horse, and even if we didn't care about the mud under our feet, we couldn't run Tianwu. Yu Na gritted her teeth and dragged us under the tree.
Yu Na and the others stood in a circle around the big tree as if they were facing a great enemy, and looked at Tianwu who had slowed down but was still approaching the big tree. I sat down with my back against the trunk of the tree: "Ye Xun, sit down and rest." ”
Yu Na had lost her former calm at this time: "You two stand up for me." ”
I smiled calmly, "What are you doing standing up? Help you defend against the enemy? You can pull out the steel needle from my body first." ”
"You ......" Yu Na was so angry with me that she couldn't do anything, she couldn't pull out the steel needle on my body, let alone be angry with me when Tianwu was approaching, and beat me up, so she could only look at Tianwu in the distance cautiously.
Tian Wu, who was blinded, only walked about a hundred meters away from the big tree and stopped, raised his front paws and tried several times without daring to fall to the ground, and finally had to retract and circle around the big tree.
Looking carefully at the trajectory of Tianwu's actions, it was like someone had deliberately drawn a line for him, he only dared to move outside the line, but he did not dare to cross the dark line that did not exist for half a step.
Yu Na observed Tian Wu for a while before she said coldly, "How do you know that Tian Wu will not cross the line?"
"Guess. "I just said two words and shut up.
Yu Na pulled out a short sword with her backhand and pressed it on Ye Xun's face: "If you don't want this little white face to break the face, tell the truth." If I don't think you're right, I'll stab him in the face. ”
I looked at Yu Na coldly and said in a deep voice: "This Tianwu is obviously not a real water god. Like the corpses, it was something that the island's danshi had created to protect the island, in other words, it was a half-finished product. ”
"Since the Danshi on the island has created Tianwu, there must be something to restrict him, within a radius of two or three miles, what else is there besides such a tree?
Yu Na glanced at me and suddenly pressed the short sword, and the bright blade of the sword instantly cut into Ye Xun's cheek. Yu Na gestured to slash hard, but I suddenly became angry and said, "What are you doing?"
Yu Na said with a cold look: "You didn't tell the truth, so I have to let you see the blood." ”
"Stop!" I stood up from the ground, "the secret is behind my back!"
Yu Na stretched out her hand and pushed me aside, and carefully looked around the trunk: "You don't want Ye Xun to live, do you?"
I said coldly, "You can see it if you find someone from the Dawnbreaking Sect to come over." ”
Yu Na frowned slightly and raised her hand to a person: "You come and have a look." ”
The man took out a flashlight and shone it on the trunk of the tree for a long time before saying, "It's the unique technique of Dawn 'Clues'." Someone left a sentence on it, but Wang Huan rubbed off part of it with his back, and only the word 'life' could be seen. ”
Yu Na looked at me coldly and said, "What is it?" ”
When Yu Na waved her hand, someone had already pressed the knife on Ye Xun's face.
