Chapter 18: Alien Beasts
"It hurts... It hurts... Where did you fall this time?" After Su Jiuxia, who had fallen from the trap by mistake, regained consciousness, he looked around again, this time the light seemed to be much more sufficient, enough for him to see a distance of about ten meters. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "How does it seem to be a block... Huh?"
Su Jiuxia straightened up in shock, but he couldn't help but rub his hands for a long time because he touched the painful place of the fall, but the pain could no longer attract his attention, because he found that he was lying on the edge of a huge stone platform in the water?!
With the faint light reflected from the water surface, Jiuxia began to continue to look at the environment, due to the obstruction of his eyesight, he can only see a rough now, the stone platform is almost a hundred meters in circumference, in an irregular circle, the stone troughs on the table are criss-crossed, rugged and meandering, it looks very chaotic but seems to follow some laws, Su Jiuxia, who has no knowledge in this area, has no choice but to give up observation and turn his gaze down the water below... Wait, this... It's mercury!
The pulsating silvery-white sheen, the rising steam,...... What a strange thing, as soon as I leave school, all kinds of knowledge jumps up, and the usual exams die one by one.
"Goo... Stay away. Although I don't know why I'm okay, my instinctive reaction makes Jiuxia feel that it's better to stay away, although in fact it doesn't seem to be useful, and the mercury vapor is not so far away to poison him, but psychologically, it's .....
"Bump"
", hit the air?" Jiu Xia, who had only taken a few steps inside, felt that his head touched a hard object, and his eyes were full of Venus, but when he looked at it, there was nothing in front of him, this Nima was... What the hell?
But he was also scared so many times, Jiuxia was not very flustered, he began to cautiously stretch out his hand and grope, in the place where he just collided, it was obviously empty, but he touched the coldness of his hand, "What is it? It seems to be iron..."
I don't know if there is any spirit in the air that can sense his thoughts, and as soon as he feels it is iron, it seems that he immediately smells the smell of rust.
"It seems to be irregular..."Jiuxia groped his way along the invisible object with the feeling in his hand, carefully advancing all the way, and finally stopped in the center of the circular stone platform.
Because... He's been knocked down again...
"Damn!" Touching his forehead, Jiuxia kicked forward angrily, and then jumped for a long time holding his feet.
"What is this?" Jiuxia can now be sure that there is something he can't see in this space, suppressing the imagination that is about to start, Jiuxia continues to stretch out his hands to sense, in fact, it's a terrible thing to think about it carefully in this kind of sparkling place There are invisible things, no, stop, I can't think about it anymore!
Suddenly, there was a subconscious pain in my back, damn it, could it be that the ghost uncle was finally angry, no, I didn't mean to insult you!
Jiuxia was so frightened that he hurriedly retracted his hand, and after all kinds of panic, he realized that there seemed to be no movement.
"Eh, I'm really still..."Jiuxia touched the place where the psychological effect hurt just now, over there, it seems to be the place where Mocheng left him a spiritual array, no, it started to hurt again, it's not a psychological effect, what is this thing for?
But the pain gradually began to lessen, and it was only about five seconds until Jiuxia couldn't feel it at all.
"Hey?" No one answered Jiuxia's questions, and everything that followed made him stunned and caught off guard.
The hidden things of the whole space were so abruptly displayed in front of him, the chains, the chains interspersed and interspersed throughout the space, like the silk threads of fate, there are branches, there are blocks, but no matter how many forks, they are finally unified to form the left and right two straight fingers in the middle.
And in between... A little girl who looked like she was only ten years old, she just bumped into something like transparent glass around her, fortunately the other party was a humanoid that Jiuxia could accept, otherwise Jiuxia estimated that she would immediately fall straight up.
Her arms are tied in chains, and she is lowering her head as if she is sleeping in front of Jiuxia, her face is very delicate, and she looks like an Asian race, but the bizarre thing is that she is obviously just a little girl who is less than a teenager, and the luxurious court dress on her body is like the size worn by a person about twenty years old.
This is the plot of a standard domestic ghost movie!
I'm going to be hit by that first... And then by that... In the end, it was the... Oh my God, it's over!
And as if in response to his imagination, the mercury vapor that had only been rising began to move, and at the same time there was the sound of breaking the water below, a low sound accompanied by a pungent but not foul smell rising at the same time, ah, like the feeling of the fresh sea emitted by rotting seaweed, but this rich one was more like the deep sea.
"Ni... Cornelian... There's really something!" Jiuxia could already feel the gaze of a creature behind him, don't ask him how he knows, damn, there must be!
"In the end... It's—" Jiuxia twisted her half-stiff neck and turned it around mechanically, "Huh?!"
With a strange scream, he fell directly back on the stone platform.
What a thing! What a snake again! But... It's too big, just the giant snake head that gradually rises from below reminds Jiu Xia of the blue whale specimen he saw at the Maritime Museum the year before last, which is several times larger than the one Qing Huan killed!
The entire upper body showed an even more frightening dark cyan in this unclear light environment, the slightly open mouth, and the ferocious golden pupils made Jiuxia almost think that he was watching 3D special effects in the theater for a moment, this existence beyond his imagination made him give birth to an illusory dream sense out of thin air.
Jiulong carried the coffin, I don't know why, Jiuxia actually remembered this ancient story, the stone slab he was on seemed to have become the coffin of the King of Wannu, and those giant snakes were the dragons carved below to embrace the King of Wannu, etc., these don't seem to have a hundred feet, their mouths... I think I have a long fin?... Is this a snake? Is it really a dragon? Ahhh
Even if Kowloon carries the coffin, he is on top of the coffin! This is not a good thing!
It's always exciting to see the beast Jiuxia, but it's only in the zoo, he's outside the cage and the other party is inside the cage!
By the way, run, but now... Sister's... Where are you going to run?
Maybe the snake body is too large, and the nine snakes didn't present their entire bodies in front of Jiuxia, but even so, it's like looking at the nine snakes surrounding the stone platform is like looking at nine mountains that will collapse at any time!
Their golden eyes were peculiar, and they glowed with a hideous luster even in the dark, and to Jiuxia, it looked like a hellish demon trying to seduce his soul, so scared that he didn't dare to look directly at it, and he was really curious to die, and wanted to sneak a few glances, and then he was scared half to death.
"Boom!"
The serpent let out a beast-like roar at the same time, and then began to bow up.
That's not right, that's not what the snake is called in theory? Damn, Jiuxia secretly scolded herself, as far as you are knowledgeable, where are you running now?
As soon as I was nervous, all the messy knowledge poured into my head, Jiuxia was already completely panicked, and it was obvious that this posture was about to start attacking, I said that you guys are too bullying?!
In your imagination, you can talk and laugh alone in front of thousands of troops, but when it really comes to that time, I'm afraid you won't even be able to move your legs.
However, at this moment, the blue light and fire were converging, it seemed that the fireflies flying under the dark night were gathering and dancing, and a blue giant spirit array appeared out of thin air between Jiuxia and the group of snakes like a life-saving charm, and Long Xi'er appeared in front of Jiuxia with a posture that was handsome in Jiuxia's eyes, and the starlight of the spirit array that immediately collapsed.
"What is this?" and Long Xi'er was obviously shocked by the behemoth in front of him.
"Xi'er!" Jiu Xia shouted as if he saw a savior, although he was not a master, but it was Long Xi'er's words!
"Huh, Jiuxia, you're really here. Long Xi'er hurriedly went over to help Jiuxia up, but Su Jiuxia's legs couldn't be used for the time being because of fear, so he still needed Long Xi'er's support to stand up.
"How did you find this place?" No matter how bad a boy is, he can't be too embarrassed in front of the girl he likes, this is related to the innate dignity of men, so Su Jiuxia took a few deep breaths, and after relieving himself a little, he signaled to Long Xi'er that he could stand alone, after all, it may be relatively safe to have a master like Xi'er next to him who is beyond his cognition, and if he needs her to support him all the time, it will inevitably greatly reduce her flexibility.
"Mo Cheng left a space on your body to connect with the spirit array, as long as you have an accident, the spirit array will be autonomously sensed according to your consciousness, and I have crossed over with the help of this. Xi'er raised her left hand, and on the back of her hand was an extremely complex spirit array pattern.
"By the way, how did you mess with this thing?" Long Xi'er looked up at the group of giant snakes hovering outside the stone platform.
"I don't know... These snakes came out of the water below. ”
"It's a bit like wurms, are they afraid? weird, here... Could it be this child?" Long Xi'er naturally saw this child who was locked by the chains of the entire space.
"They look like they're going to attack. Jiu Suxia hurriedly reminded Xi'er that the giant snake's reaction was almost starting to be agitated, and something was wrong.
"You stay here, be careful. Long Xi'er let go of Jiuxia, held the giant sword in his hand, and jumped up with the help of the chains all over the space, and took the lead in rushing towards the group of snakes.
Jiuxia knew that Xi'er was very strong, but she didn't expect it to be so strong, her whole person was like an elf dancing lightly in the wind, constantly shuttling through the snakes, dexterously and thrillingly avoiding their attacks, and at the same time using the giant sword to slide away the road scars on the snake's body, since it could slide away the injury, Jiuxia also let go of some worries a little, after all, no matter what it was, what could be solved by physical methods was not too big, like that kind of ghost movie that was almost a one-sided slaughter of the disembodied spirit ghost was the nightmare that brought Su Jiuxia's childhood shadow.
But when Su Jiuxia's eyes followed Long Xi'er's figure and turned back inadvertently, his whole person was frozen there.
Wake up! The child who was imprisoned in chains had already opened her eyes and was looking straight at Jiuxia.
What terrifying eyes they were! Compared to Gu Qinghuan's weird blood-blue eyes, these eyes were simply more murderous pupils of calamity! The light in the eyes of an ancient beast that seemed to wake up from a deep slumber was like liquid gold that had been burned, and the red vermilions were mixed with it, and that gaze seemed to have a high temperature, to incinerate all the bodies and souls of Jiuxia, leaving no ashes, this was definitely not the pupil that primates would have!
The other party didn't speak, but the meaning in her eyes was as domineering as the will of a king, and it clearly entered Jiuxia's mind.
I thought, get out.
The eyes like the sun gradually closed again, and the whole person seemed to fall into a deep sleep again.
Obviously there was no threat, but Su Jiuxia couldn't help but start looking for a way to break the unlock chain, why did he do it, but he didn't know, he only knew that it was... What he was going to do.
It seemed that sensing Su Jiuxia's actions, the giant snakes' attacks were even more crazy, but Long Xi'er's speed was too inconvenient for their huge bodies, and what was even more troublesome was that Long Xi'er's Void Spirit Giant Sword could also pierce their scales and cause damage to them.
Even if there were snakes that could get rid of Kai Xi'er, those chains were like a huge net of incomparably toughness, although they were hit with a "bell" and "bell", but they couldn't hurt Su Jiuxia, who was groping inside.
Without warning, Jiuxia suddenly felt the nerves in his head jump, as if the nerves that were straining and thinking were suddenly picked off by a sharp scalpel, which was an abrupt tingling sensation that made Jiuxia's nerves begin to be ethereal.
"Uh, what's going on, it hurts. And then there was a sharp pain, the illusion brought by the impact similar to being bombarded, so that he almost forgot who he was and where he was now, and for a moment, it didn't look like his tone was speaking, "Xi'er, cut off the two knots of these chains." ”
Su Jiuxia pointed to the junction of the chains on both sides with both hands, "Its life form is engraved on the chains, it's about to destroy it!"
Wait, why do I know about this kind of thing, my hand stroked my forehead, Jiuxia couldn't suppress the inexplicable feeling of swelling and pain in my brain, how could it be, it's like, someone told me...
Long Xi'er didn't have the extra energy to detect Su Jiuxia's abnormality, she was already very difficult to contain the snakes, after hearing Jiuxia's words, she didn't hesitate too much, a sword slashed on the snake scales, forcing back the attacking snake head, several consecutive jumps quickly shuttled between the chains, and soon got out of the attack range of the snakes, swinging the ethereal spirit giant sword, before the giant snake swooped over, she slashed the chain node on the left with a sword, and a step dodged, throwing the ethereal spirit giant sword straight out, breaking the knot on the other side, and the chain that even the giant snake couldn't break was cut off by Long Xi'er's giant sword in two clicks?
"吭", "吭", "吭", ......
All the snakes began to wail, and the liquid mercury was rising, turning into a firefly-like starlight rising, and along with the huge snake body, it shattered together, turning into bits of blue starlight and merging into the chains that spread throughout the space.
"Xudra, I didn't expect there to be one here. Ci'er on the side of the stairs looked quietly like the moon goddess Artemis, looking at the snake body that gradually melted into the chains, and looking down at the bottom of the lake, she saw the true face of this strange beast, it was a huge body, and what she was fighting just now was only its head, "I thought it was extinct." ”
"Bell", "bell", "bell"...
The chains began to crumble, and they began to turn into golden points of light into the unconscious child's body.
"Jiuxia, how are you?" Long Xi'er hurriedly went over and picked up Su Jiuxia, who looked bad, Su Jiuxia's performance just now really surprised her, she was able to find a way to crack Xu Da, otherwise, no matter how fast she was, as long as she made a mistake, she would die under the mouth of this ancient beast.
"It's okay, it's just that my head hurts a little. Jiuxia shook his head a little dizzy, damn it, what did he just do, why did he suddenly faint?
"This child, do you want to take her away?" The mercury lake below had all disappeared, and Long Xi'er threw a stone that had been smashed down, and the sound was very quiet.
"There's still a road ahead, let's go over and have a look. Since he didn't even know the terrain he was in now, Long Xi'er decided to go first and give it a try, after all, judging from the layout here, the chances of encountering other people were very small.
"It's not good to leave her here alone, and besides, she hasn't woken up since the beginning, and she's been quiet, maybe there's no malice. Su Jiuxia looked at the little girl behind her who had lost her chains and had fallen to the ground, and said.
"Alright then, I'll hold her. Long Xi'er turned the giant sword into blue light and put it in the palm of her hand, and walked to the little girl who was lying on the ground and was sleeping, her luxurious dress had crumbled along with the blue light, and now she was lying there naked, so Xi'er took off her coat and wrapped it around her body and hugged her into her arms, but was it her own delusion, how did she feel as if she had just grown up a little bit older?
