Chapter Thirty-Four: Little Ash's Escape
The castle on Tadpole Island in Xijia Village has been almost completed, and only the final decoration and arrangement remain. The sky began to brighten www.biquge.info and the fog began to dissipate. All night, feeling groggy and groggy, Little Ash knew that he had completed his task of guarding the wood, and ran to the shallows on the south side of Tadpole Island, looking at the opposite shore, which was the direction of Snake Mountain.
"I slept so well last night, what's the matter, I'm thinking about your master again? β¦β¦ Hey, so do we! β
Seven dogs followed him at some point, all of whom were helping to patrol Tadpole Island. The leader is a Tibetan mastiff called "Meteorite", which is extremely fierce. At this time, he was stretching his waist, and his body was stretching, and he looked at Xiao Gray with sleepy eyes.
"Come with us to get rid of the giant crabs! We packed one up yesterday evening, but it took a while! Unfortunately, your task at that time was to guard the wood, so we didn't call you. See! - "Meteorite" said as he pointed to the towering castle with a dog's paw, "It's done, the wood is running out, your mission is done!" β
"Then why don't you let us go back to our master?" Little Ash turned around and asked in a friendly manner, many of the owners of these dogs went to Snake Mountain.
"This is the difference between the housekeeper Feng Qi and the village chief Xilong, if it is arranged by Xilong, he will definitely not let the spirit beasts leave their masters and use them alone!"
Little Ash thought so.
"Join us, look at the back!"
"Meteorite" winked at Ash as he spoke.
In the distance, there are three beautiful little hairball girls walking leisurely here! They are all precious dogs from the Western Regions, with beautiful white fur like a waterfall, soothed by the cold wind of spring, emitting wave-like fine lines, which makes Xiao Ash feel intoxicated.
"Okay! I join you! β
Little Ash's tail wagged like a rattle.
All the artisans and villagers returned to Xijia Village to rest, most of these artisans are from Crystal City, and they will soon leave and return to Crystal City. But what they don't know yet is that Crystal City is already facing a huge crisis!
Ash followed at the end of the group, patrolling the tidal flats around Tadpole Island. Ever since the owner, Yuzuki, left, Ash felt as if she had been abandoned. Although in front of him, you can see the fluffy butts of the three elegant and beautiful little female dogs, but that ass will only give Xiao Ash a momentary excitement, and soon it will be indifferent.
A Western Regions dog with the longest fluff and snow-white body, seeing Xiao Gray following behind him melancholy, took the initiative to slow down and greeted Xiao Gray generously.
"Hello, it's Ash!"
"Well, hello, I haven't seen you before, what's your name?"
"The master calls me Bai Xue, I and the master are from the Magic Blizzard City in the Far Western Region, the master is a ranger and an excellent craftsman, temporarily living in Xijia Village!"
"Hi, I said buddies! Look! The lead meteorite stopped and pointed to the huge strange footprints on the river beach, and there were some slimy gelatinous things in the footprints, "Is there another sea monster?" β
Ash and Snow interrupted the conversation and walked to the place of the footprints.
"Doesn't that look like a crab's footprint?" The spotted dog barked all the time.
"Not really, but what could it be?" The meteorite began to look around, and the greyhounds used their keen sense of smell to search, but there was only a hint of sea in the air.
"Wait, everyone, be quiet!" Ash suddenly quieted everyone down, he stood up and sniffed the air higher with his sensitive nose, "There's a smell of blood, don't you think we slept a little too much last night?" β¦β¦ Xijia Village! Fast! Go to Xijia Village! After saying that, he rushed directly to the bridge connecting Tadpole Island and Xijia Village.
The meteorite led the dogs to follow, and just after crossing the bridge, sure enough, the smell of blood began to thicken!
"Everybody be careful! Don't go it alone! Meteorite ordered, "Little Ash, your mana is the strongest, but your attack power is too weak, follow me!" β
Xiao Ash obeyed the order of the meteorite, after all, he was the youngest, although he had part of the mana transmitted by the goddess of creation in his body, but he could not use it freely, not to mention that his master, Xiyue, was not around, and the mana was not easy to activate. Fortunately, his sense of smell is still the best among all dogs.
"There was something wrong with last night's dense fog, it may have an anesthetic effect!" Ash said as he walked behind the meteorite.
"No wonder I slept so hard last night!" The Dalmatian dog on guard at the end of the line said, "I don't sleep at night!" β
"Watch your step, it's slippery!" Meteorite warning. On the dock at the back of Xijia Village, there was a wet, slimy patch, and some translucent and disgusting gelatinous substance filled the surroundings.
"Yikes! What is it? "White Snow saw a slimy, disgusting thing hanging from the willow tree near the dock. Xiao Ash immediately ran over to check, "It's a corpse!" β
The corpse's skin had been stripped naked, its eyes were leaking, its face was twisted with terror, and there was a huge hole in its chest, filled with a slimy green translucent liquid that emitted a strong smell of sea.
"This person's blue heart has been gouged out, and the blood in his whole body has been sucked out! Should be a construction worker. Ash deduced from the torn coarse cloth clothes and a broken shovel beneath the corpse, "The killer was clever enough to cover up the smell of blood with the smell of the sea from the slimy substance."
The spirit dogs couldn't help but worry, their first thought was the safety of the magic control alley, where Ding Xiaoyu's parents, Ding Cheng and Shaofeng, and Bai Xue's owner, were now the temporary guardians of the psychic dogs. They didn't patrol Tadpole Island as usual last night, and everyone couldn't help but worry.
The alleys of the village were also speckled with slime, and there were several corpses that had been gouged out of their blue hearts and drained of blood, all of whom were sure to be ordinary Crystal City craftsmen.
"It seems that the enemy's target is the blue heart of the people of Xijia Village!" Meteorite said in a low bark, "I hope they are all safe, this opponent is too cruel!" β
When they thought of the danger to their masters, the first thing that came to the dogs' mind was no longer fear. Although they were frightened by the situation around them, they were soon enraged by the cruelty of the enemy.
There was no one in the village anymore, and it was all a disgusting smell of blood and sea. The sun had risen and the surroundings were starting to fill with a foul smell. Crossing the avenue in the middle of the village, the spirit dogs quickly arrived at the Magic Control Alley with apprehension.
But they searched several times, but they didn't find the owners of Xijia Village. Bai Xue's owner is also nowhere to be found, and Ding Xiaoyu's parents are even more nowhere to be found, and there is not even any trace of a fight around!
There was a glimmer of hope.
"Maybe they've all fled!" Ash guessed.
"It's also possible that they were caught! But as long as we can't find them, we can't give up! "The leading role of meteorites is beginning to emerge. They searched the entire Xijia Village thoroughly, except for the slime that was the corpse of the craftsman from the Crystal City, the strange thing was that the exorcists left behind in the Xijia Village, including Ding Xiaoyu's parents, had no trace.
"We are divided into two ways, Ash, Spotted, and me, plus three ladies to report to the shelter, and the rest of the partners to report to Crystal City!" The meteorite commanded that the rest of the companions were well-balanced aggressive greyhounds and ran extremely fast. The craftsmen of Crystal City suffered heavy casualties, and it was impossible for the powerful Crystal City to ignore Xijia Village.
So the two groups of spirit beasts immediately set off, "Be sure to send out the information about the situation in Xijia Village!" No matter what the cost! The meteorite commanded again before the entrance of Xijia Village.
There were three corpses with blue hearts dug up on the root-like wooden door in Xijia Village, and two bodies on the ginkgo tree, all of which were craftsmen; And the slime stretched all the way to the dock by the Qinglong River.
"It seems that the enemy left from the docks!" The meteorite looked at the Qinglong River in the distance and muttered, "There will never be peace on the Qinglong River again!" β
"I think the enemy may be some kind of monster from the sea, in the same league as the sea crab! The monsters in the sea are so far into the Qinglong River, there must be a conspiracy! Ash said worriedly.
"Could it be the Sea Dead King?!" Bai Xue suddenly thought of something, she walked to Xiao Ash's side and kicked away a piece of the craftsman's severed limb on the ground, and then said, "My master is a ranger, who once went to the country of Yinluo through the Silk Road on the sea. On the ship, he often heard about the horror of the Sea Dead King! He had specifically investigated information about the Seafall King, but the information was limited, but it was certain that this legendary Seafall King had a plan to annex the entire world! β
"Could it be that the masters of Xijia Village have been taken captive by the Sea Death King?" Meteorite asked.
"I don't rule it out! There must be unknown monsters in the Qinglong River, this is certain, we can't go into the water to search, let's arm ourselves first, go to the shelter and inform the other Xijia villagers, they may have a way! Ash suggested.
"Good! That's it! "The meteorite clapper decided.
So everyone immediately returned to a psychic house in Magic Control Alley, which stored many psychic beasts' costumes, weapons, and even their favorite dog food!
The psychic dogs are not yet able to transform, so everyone can only help each other. Both of Bai Xue's companions have lost the same owner, and Bai Xue's owner kindly adopted them. But the two of them are not simple, one is called "Xiaomei", who is also snow-white, but the hair is shorter, and there is a markings like human eyes on the tail; The other one is called "Little Hand", except for the tail with the markings of a small hand, the others look almost exactly the same as Xiaomei. They barely spoke, and were silent about their former masters.
Several psychic dogs encountered difficulties in getting dressed, and the little hands gave full play to their spiritual powers, and the tail behind them immediately turned into a pair of small hands, helping everyone to buckle up their clothes.
And Xiaomei, the first one who has finished dressing, is motionless at the door of Magic Control Alley, with her tail straight, and a harrier eagle is hovering in the sky. It turned out that Xiaomei was remotely controlling the harrier eagle, and she could look down from the air with the eyes of the harrier eagle!
Xijia Village, Tadpole Lake, the newly built castle, and the vast Qinglong River are all in full view!
The other psychic dogs have been dressed, and each psychic dog tries to carry as many things as possible, especially dog food. Meteorite carried a few bags of bacon, and Ash had not forgotten to memorize a few bundles of charms except for bacon, while Spotted was carrying a heavy knife that was pitch black and unsheathed; Snow and her little hands carried some clothes and crystals. As soon as they came out of the psychic house, they found Xiaomei at the door of the alley.
"Xiaomei, did you find anything?" Bai Xue asked softly. At this time, Xiaomei was using the harrier eagle's eyes with her eyes closed, carefully searching for the abnormalities around her.
"Not yet, it's strange that there isn't a single boat on the Qinglong River! It seems to have disappeared out of thin air! Xiaomei frowned and said, "I'll let the harrier eagle go upstream to have a look!" β
It was close to noon, and the flesh around him began to decay, and even Ash couldn't stand the unpleasant smell.
"If there is no abnormality, let's hurry up!" Meteorite chewed a bite of bacon at some point, and said with a puffed mouth.
"Wait! β¦β¦ There is a case! β
Hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent.
"There is a huge black shadow under the Qinglong River!"
"Oops! It's a giant squid...... Sky! ββIt's too big! It seems that a boat has just been saved in the belly, and it is preparing to move along the Qinglong River towards Tadpole Lake! β¦β¦ Ah! β
Xiaomei opened her eyes.
"Looks like there's another octopus that just swallowed the harrier eagle I control!"
"It's the minions of the Sea Dead King, we are no match for them!" Bai Xue, who had been to the Maritime Silk Road with her master, said, "Go to refuge as soon as possible and tell the owners of Xijia Village about the things here!" - The Sea Dead King is here! β
What they didn't expect was that the ship in the squid's belly was Pan Yu's warship......
