Chapter 53: The Flame Worm
Ling Yun stepped out of the Hu Mansion, and the guards outside the courtyard gate looked at him a little strange at first, but later recognized that it was the young master's servant Xiao Chun, but he just changed into a good suit, and the guards thought that he was deeply favored by the young master, and his status changed from a servant who fed horses to a personal servant, and it was not strange to wear a good clothes, so he did not stop him and let him go.
On the way back to Xiaolou, walking on the street, passing by Wanxian Tower, Gui Gong, who was standing outside the door to greet guests, noticed Ling Yun walking over, and hurriedly caught up with a smile on his face, and said: "Engong, when Lord Sun set off to leave Wanxian Tower at noon today, he asked someone to go to the county government to look around, but he didn't find you, and I don't know where you went, so I didn't dare to disturb your Yaxing, so I left a letter for me to pass it on to you." ”
Ling Yun stretched out his hand to take the letter, and asked pretendedly, "Where is Lord Sun going?"
Gui Gong said with a smile: "The military situation is a big thing, where do you know about the small one, I heard that it is from the south city gate, it should be going to the border to pursue the prisoners." ”
Ling Yun opened the envelope and unfolded the letterhead, on which were written a few lines of strong and powerful characters: "Brother Sancheng, brother has important things to do, in order to pursue the important criminal, he has to set off in a hurry, and he has no time to say goodbye, and he will be strange! The next time we meet, we will get drunk again!" The words are like their people, stroke by stroke, like a knife and an axe, worthy of the pen of a military general.
Ling Yunxin said: "Although Sun Xun is a military general, he can't imagine that his handwriting is so neat, he is bold and generous, and he is not informal, but he is really a talent with both civil and military skills. ”
Suddenly, the crowd in the street became noisy and noisy, and it was like a tidal wave squeezing in the direction of the south.
Ling Yun felt very surprised, and asked Gu Gong, "What's going on, why are everyone rushing to the south?"
Gui Gong also looked dazed, grabbed a pedestrian, and asked, "Brother, why are everyone competing to go to the south?"
The man said excitedly: "Don't you know, I heard that there are two big insects fighting outside the city gate in the south. "Big insects generally refer to fierce beasts such as lions and tigers.
Gui Gong was surprised: "I haven't heard of a big insect in Jingnan for many years, why did two of them appear at once?"
Another person rushed over and said, "What a big worm, those are two mountain-like beasts, one like a black iron lion, and the other is like an incomparably huge caterpillar, and it breathes fire." ”
Ling Yun asked, "Have you seen it with your own eyes or heard about it?"
The man's face still palpitated, and he said, "I just came back from there, and many people who watched the excitement got too close, and they were burned by the hot fire spewed by the caterpillars, and they were killed and injured. ”
Ling Yun said: "It's so dangerous. ”
Gu Gong smiled: "My lord, it's not for the business of this Wanxian Building, I want to go and see, what a rare spectacle, the beast drama fight has only been heard of in mythology." ”
Ling Yun said in his heart: "I thought that this world was full of mortal things, and it seems that there is no lack of strangeness and interestingness." ”
The southern gate has long been closed, and the city walls are crowded with people watching the excitement, and the water is blocked.
Ling Yun came to the south city gate, found the city guard, took out ten taels of silver, and asked him to take himself to the Tibetan Soldier Tower, which is the highest point of the city wall, it can be said to be the Supreme Observation Deck, there is no one here, there is no need to crowd with people, in case of war, this is the place where the Tibetan soldiers look out.
Looking through the hole in the Tibetan Tower, the dust and smoke outside the city were everywhere, and two fierce beasts as tall as a mountain confronted each other.
One is an iron-black giant lion, its body seems to be covered with a thick layer of armor, the texture is hard, invulnerable, and a bloody mouth can swallow an adult elephant when opened.
The beast on the opposite side was slightly shorter, extremely long, shaped like a worm, and its body burned with blazing flames, its six claws firmly grasped the ground, and everywhere it went, there was a sea of fire, and countless houses were destroyed and trampled.
The two beasts were so large that the green mountains in the distance seemed to turn into a small dirt bag, and the giant lion shook its sharp tail like an iron whip, and the top of the green mountain was cut into flat ground, and the rubble was splashed everywhere.
The crowd on the city walls, though two or three miles away from the place where the beasts fought, was still scorched by the flames of the worms, and the people felt unbearably dry.
The worm's attack speed was extremely fast, and the attack was like a snake's letter, and the fierce attack made the giant lion retreat again and again, and several scorched places appeared on the lion's body, and white smoke rose from it, obviously at a disadvantage, and was cornered by the worm.
The worm's head suddenly cracked, and a slime-covered tentacle emerged from it, burning with blue ghostly flames, and stabbing at the giant lion with rapid momentum.
Cornered, the giant lion shook its mane and roared into the sky, ignoring the tentacles that pierced its body, leaped onto the worm's body, opened its sharp teeth, and violently bit the worm's burning limbs.
The worm hissed like a snake, and the sound wave rippled in circles, shaking down countless leaves and branches, and the crowd standing on the city wall was almost shocked under the wall by the huge sound wave.
The giant lion endured the burning flames and bit more violently, shaking its head to tear the worm's body open.
The worm pulled out its tentacles and pierced into the giant lion, and streams of black liquid and body gushed out, touching the burning flames, emitting sizzling white smoke and emitting an unpleasant smell, which made all the onlookers tumble and vomit.
The giant lion tore at the worm's limb, and a boiling fiery red liquid flowed from the crack, like magma underground, burning the lion's sharp teeth into a red patch.
The giant lion could no longer endure the burning pain of the heat, let go of its sharp teeth, and roared in the sky.
The worm crawled onto the body of the giant lion, the fire burned the iron-colored armor red, the giant lion struggled in pain to shake it off, but the worm bit even harder, and the sharp tentacles penetrated the body of the giant lion again and again, piercing countless holes, and dripping an unpleasant boiling black liquid.
The onlookers on the city wall had already vomited out the filth in their stomachs, and now they smelled this violent and pungent unpleasant smell, so they had to hide their noses and retch, and all their eyes were full of tears and snot, and they were embarrassed.
But the crowd was like a tide, and the waves crowded up the city wall, and the people who could not stand the stench left, and immediately some people rushed forward, to see this strange and magnificent scene of fierce beasts fighting, as if the street was watching a trick, these two fierce beasts seemed to be the product of another world, and did not affect their lives at all, so that they only wanted to scramble to see the excitement, and did not fear the destruction of the world by the giant beast.
Ling Yun's heart was full of doubts, the people of this world were actually used to this, watching from the city wall, could it be that such a strange giant beast battle had happened countless times on this land?
He gazed carefully at the two beasts, not from the same world as himself, but from this world, which could easily be seen as two huge pictures lying on the infinite expanse of the earth.
The giant lion on the ground wailed incessantly, as if he knew that he had reached the end of his fate.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang like the sky and the earth cracking, and the earth cracked a hole in it, opening a black abyss, and the worms entangled the giant lion and fell into the bottomless abyss under the earth, and countless houses, fields, and livestock were all instantly involved in the crack.
The rift continued to swallow the surrounding mountains and rivers, and it didn't take long for the rift to be filled, and the devouring stopped, and countless mountains and rivers were razed to the ground, and countless rivers dried up and dried up, leaving only a mess of the earth.
Onlookers watched with their mouths wide open, and the crowd erupted in thunderous cheers. The monster fight is over, the crowd gradually disperses, and this mythical scene has become the talk of the people in the city, and nothing has changed, and the streets are full of people, and life is as plain as ever.
Ling Yun's heart was full of doubts, Hu Yinshan turned into a zombie after his death before, and Wang Sancheng's terrifying half-finished body, in comparison, it was no longer enough to mention, two fierce beasts as tall as mountains fought viciously, how could it be possible in a mortal world?
It seems that this is really an extraordinary world.
