Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Evening Dragon: A New Choice
The green bamboo leaves caress his face, and a picturesque smiling face emerges in the bamboo forest. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe smiling face looked like his own daughter Xiyue, but that smiling face quickly turned into Pan Yu's terrible face distorted by anger, and the green bamboo turned into a dancing green snake......
"I didn't! I didn't betray ......" Xilong suddenly woke up, sweating profusely. The vicious sun is scorching the grasslands, and the air is filled with the smell of rotten dry grass. It turned out that he was lying in a barren grass ditch, with his feet facing the sky, and Tuo Xi'er was crying out anxiously to himself. There are no green bamboos, no smiling faces, and Xilong himself is still the body of a donkey, and his bat wings are burning with pain, which is injured by the thorns that are covered in the ditch.
"It's great that you're awake!" Tuo Xi'er beside him cried with joy.
"Where are we? ...... are you," Shiryu muttered.
"Master, we're trapped! I'm the princess of the North Kingdom, Tuo Xi'er. ”
"Princess of the Northern Realm? So why are you here? …… Heck, help me get up! ”
Xilong felt that although he was injured, it was really unsightly to have his hooves facing up and his belly exposed.
With the help of Thoxier, Xilong barely stood up, but the bat's wings could not be put away temporarily because it was too painful.
"I really didn't expect to meet such a strong opponent!" Xilong never thought that he would encounter the legendary Shadow Soul Technique, "The power of the Dark Lord is far beyond my imagination! ”
Shiryu tried to take two steps, and it was fine.
"We must get out of this deep ditch, or it will be difficult for our companions to find us!" Xilong said to Tuo Xi'er, who was helping him to walk. Under the protection of the wings of the evening dragon, Tuo Xi'er was safe and sound.
The deep ditch is washed by the torrential rain in the rainy season, and the bottom of the ditch is a soft crisp stone, and a large number of wild dates are propagated in it, which is very difficult to travel. The ditches on both sides were too high for them to climb up, so they could only stagger forward. However, the dried red dates gave them a source of food so that they would not starve, and a spring appeared at the bottom of the ditch from time to time, which kept them from thirsty.
Along the ditch, a trickle of water began to appear, and the thorns began to disappear. Xilong and Tuo Xi'er walked about a mile with difficulty, and the front began to open up suddenly—they walked out of the deep ditch!
In front of them appeared a vast grassland, and the river flowed slowly to the south through the deep ravines behind them.
The exhausted Xilong lay down on the bank of the small river with difficulty, and Tuo Xi'er hurriedly used his water bladder to fetch some water in the river for Xilong to drink.
The aquatic plants on both sides of the river are extremely lush, and the wild grass is more than one person tall. After drinking the water, Yuryu felt much more relaxed. The warm sunlight was leisurely scattered on his body, chewing a few fat thatch roots around him, Xilong felt that the strength in his body was rapidly recovering, and his bat wings began to slowly recover freely.
At this time, Tuo Xi'er was guarding the surroundings, after all, he didn't know if the Shadow Soul Man had any accomplices, so it was better to be careful.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the nearby grass, and Tuo Xi'er immediately became nervous.
"Are there still the Dark Lord's minions?" As an ordinary human who has seen the power of elves and demon kings, Tuo Xi'er has a very powerless feeling.
"I just blame myself for not learning some real skills from Master!" Tuo Xi'er began to blame herself for her laziness.
Out of the grass was a middle-aged cavalryman, wearing the chest armor of a lion that only the cavalry under the command of the Lion King had, but he did not ride a horse.
"I found them!" As soon as the soldier saw the dragon lying on the ground, he realized something and immediately shouted to his teammates.
"It turned out to be my own people!" Tuo Xi'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon another cavalry rode over, including Yao Yi, the temporary leader of the cavalry.
Seeing the injury of the master Xilong, Yao Yi was very worried.
"We have to send the master back as soon as possible, maybe my master Xia Nan Dao Chang has a way!" Yao Yi suggested to Tuo Xi'er.
Tuo Xi'er nodded, and helped Yao Yi carry the sunset dragon to Yao Yi's horse. Because Xilong's wound was mainly on the back, they had to let Xilong lie on the horse, but a donkey lying on a horse still made everyone feel funny, and Tuo Xi'er made a big red face......
The news of Shiryu's finding was soon known to Torrey. Torret soon learned that Xilong was fine, so he quickly changed his robe, rearranged his clothes, and went to greet him.
Yuryu was temporarily housed in a makeshift tent at the entrance of the temple. Daoist Xia Nan had already rushed to Xilong's side in advance, although he heard the lion king mention what happened to Xilong, but he was still surprised to see the dignified archmage turn into a donkey.
The tent had already been arranged by Yao Yi. As Xilong's follower, Yao Yi knows Xilong's preferences very well: fine rattan mats, selected forage, and clear and sweet mountain spring water......
As for Xilong, he didn't have the heart to enjoy it, the power of the Dark Lord was extremely strong, and it was far beyond his imagination.
"We must seek other, more powerful forces to be able to deal with them!" Lying on the mat, Xilong pondered, "The Dark Lord, the Sea Death King, and the troublesome Dark Witch Doctor, their combination has the ability to destroy this world!" ”
Xilong once again thought of the Valley of the Witches in the Far West. At this time, Xia Nandao, who had concocted the herbs, grew into the tent, and the medicinal fragrance of the herbs made Xilong feel refreshed.
"Daoist Xia Nan, how much do you know about the Witch Valley?" Just as Daoist Xia Nan applied the plaster to the wound on Xilong's back, Xilong asked. Xilong felt a slight chill on his spine, and it was Xia Nandao's plaster that began to take effect.
"For the Witch Valley, I only know a little from some rangers and merchants from the Far Western Regions, but I don't know much, but these wandering rangers and merchants have more or less been helped by the Witch Valley and have been able to escape the persecution of the dark forces in the Far Western Regions!"
After the plaster was applied, Daoist Xia Nan walked to a basin in the corner of the tent, and continued while washing his hands: "The witch valley is basically full of persecuted witches and the souls of witches who were persecuted to death. It is said that the Valley of the Shrine Maiden is so mysterious that ordinary people can't find it at all, unless it's a dying shrine maiden! ”
"It's hard to find, but it's the only place we can rely on! We are no match for the dark Ones! Xilong sighed, "The dark forces have come from all the way to the Far West, and they must have a plan, so we will escort what they want to the Valley of the Witches, and maybe there will be a glimmer of life!" ”
"Master Xi, what should we do next?" Xia Nandao asked.
"Preserve our strength and transfer our living power to the Valley of the Shrine Maiden as soon as possible!" There was a resolute light in the eyes of the donkey, as if he had made a great determination.
"However, we are weak now, and the road is so far away......" Daoist Xia Nan wiped his hands clean, came to Xilong's side, and said worriedly.
"Therefore, we need the help of the knowledgeable high-ranking officials of the human race, especially the human ruling group, but fortunately, there are also people of insight in the human race!" The first thing that came to Xilong's mind was the Lion King, "Waiting here is not a long-term solution, we must convince the human ruling group to join forces as soon as possible!" Such as the Kingdom of Beili and the Crystal Empire! ”
"Torre, a prince of the Northern Realm, is here, too!" Xia Nandao said while checking Xilong's pulse, the so-called pulse is just Xia Nan squatting on the ground, holding Xilong's left front leg with his hand, and estimating whether Xilong's heartbeat is normal.
"There are also several powerful mages, and two of them are women from ancient times!" What Xia Nan said was Tanxi and Yingxiao.
The donkey's eyes narrowed for a moment, as if to sort out his thoughts.
"It seems that the ancient magic war is far from over, and these mages are likely to be righteous people of the time. It is a good sign that the Dark Lord is awakening the dark forces from the ancients, and the righteous forces that restrain the ancient dark forces are also awakening! Xilong's face was full of joy, "With their help, we have a better chance of winning!" ”
"I wonder if the prince of Beili you mentioned is willing to go back to Beili to persuade the king, can you let him come over for a while?"
"No need to look for it, Master Xi, it's me, I'm here!" A familiar voice came from outside the tent's curtain door.
Soon, a tall figure floated in.
Isn't this Xue Xing?!
The slightly immature boy in my mind has been replaced by an angular and resolute handsome face.
"Uncle Xilong, I'm sorry, I've been hiding your identity!" Torret quickly knelt down on one knee beside Xilong.
Torreen didn't expect that the exorcist hero of the year would become like this. Torreen couldn't imagine how painful it would be for such a powerful soul to be imprisoned in the body of a black donkey!
"You've known each other for a long time!" Daoist Xia Nan looked at the scene that had just happened suspiciously.
"Uncle Yulong, forgive me for hiding my identity as the prince of the king of the Northern Realm! Of course, I now know that I am just an outcast adopted by my father! "Torret revealed his background and his inventory.
The Xue Xing in his memory turned out to be the second prince of the dignified Beili Kingdom! This was completely unexpected. However, Shiryu quickly regained his calm, after all, Torret became the prince of the Northern Empire, which was very advantageous in convincing the Northern Territory to unite with the Crystal Empire.
"Sunset Moon...... Is she okay? Tuo Lie asked eagerly, "Uncle, you better call me Xue Xing so as to cause unnecessary trouble!" ”
Yuryu nodded kindly.
"Your Father......"
"Actually, that old man is my national teacher!" Torret hurriedly corrected.
"Xing'er, don't be restrained, you better stand up and talk to me! I'm injured, so I'm lying here! Hehe, as a black donkey, I don't have some human red tape etiquette! Xilong laughed to himself.
"Let's talk about the current situation in the North Lee, we need the support of the North Lee, although we have experienced unhappiness before, but in the face of a strong enemy, the country is about to die, so we can only huddle together to keep warm!"
Torret nodded and stood up, the encounters along the way had given Torlie a little understanding of the dark forces. These dark forces can destroy a nation without much effort!
So, Tuo Lie left the new capital of Beili Kingdom, met the guardian Fengzhi, passed through the gate of creation, met Bai Qiuzheng, He Dong, and met Tanxi and Yingxiao in the ancient tomb, came to this temple, and united with the high monk Fa Cheng to fight with the Dark Demon King, and told Xilong in detail in 1510.
Shiryu's brow was sometimes stretched, sometimes contracted. He didn't expect Torret to have such a legendary experience.
Xilong, Tuo Lie and Xia Nan talked in detail for a whole day and night, and only Yao Yi personally delivered a few meals in the middle.
A plan to transfer the living forces to the "Witch Valley" in the Far Western Regions along the ancient Silk Road was formed in Xilong's mind.
But the only thing that worries Xilong is his daughter, the only descendant of the Genesis, Yuzuki, who has not been in touch for a long time.
"I hope Xiyue is still well, she is the key to restraining the dark forces!" Yuryu prayed secretly......
