Chapter 16: The Snow Lion

A chill came from inside the cave. Not to mention www.biquge.info two girls, Zifeng and Xuanshuang, even the other men with strong blood couldn't help but shiver a little. And at the entrance of the cave, there are actually several families of snow plums, this is a hot June!

"Hell!" , Xuanshuang scolded.

Ouyang Yi hesitated for a moment, and was about to enter the cave, but he was pulled by the pillar, and looked at him anxiously, "Childe! ”

Ouyang Yi didn't respond, but just glanced at the pillar and stepped into the cave.

The others followed suit.

After walking half a pillar of incense, I turned a few twists and turns, and the cave became more and more open. Everyone was even more amazed, in this cave, there was actually a scene of ice and snow.

"Wait a minute!" Zifeng suddenly stopped, and motioned for the others to stop, "Did you hear any strange sounds?" ”

Zifeng is good at imitation in disguise, in addition to imitation in appearance, the voice form should also be vivid, therefore, she is more sensitive to voice than ordinary people.

"Strange sounds?" Ouyang Yi also stopped, listening carefully with his ears sideways, but except for the sound of ice water dripping from the ice rock in the cave, the cave was silent. "I didn't hear that!"

"Shh Xuanshuang knew that Zifeng's hearing was more sensitive than ordinary people, and although she didn't hear anything herself, she still motioned for the others to be quiet.

Zi Feng closed his eyes and felt quietly, "It's the low roar of an animal...... It came from the mouth of the cave...... The steps are light...... But it's fast...... It seems to be getting closer...... Getting closer and closer to ......".

Suddenly, Zifeng's eyes widened, "Everyone run...... run!" ”

Everyone was shocked, but suddenly found that there were two more holes in front of them.

In a moment's time, the thing came like a whirlwind, but it was a big lion. The appearance of lions in this area is staggering, and what is even more surprising is that this lion is snow-white, as if it is integrated with this icy and snowy world, it is a huge snow lion. It's just that its gaping jaws are incompatible with this quiet environment. It roared, and the ice bars hanging from the bottom of the cave fell down.

Where had the sailors seen this kind of pomp, they had already been frightened, and fled towards one of the holes in a haphazard manner.

The other four fled to another cave.

But it didn't take long for the screams of those sailors and the roars of snow lions to be heard.

The four of them were startled and couldn't help but speed up their running.

Suddenly, the pillar that was running at the front stopped, "Don't run, there is a dead end ahead, this hole only has an entrance, no exit!" ”

Zifeng almost cried, "It's over now, pity me for my flower-like appearance, but I'm going to die in this ghost place, forget it, I can't stand the thought that that beast will scratch my face when he kills me!" ”

"My life is gone, and I still have a face?" Xuanshuang said angrily.

"The snow lion has killed a few sailors, and it will soon be coming towards this hole, we must quickly find a way to escape!" Ouyang Yi proposed.

"There is no escape, there is only one way to die," Zifeng cried with a sad face, "Fortunately, with Xuanshuang as a companion, I am not alone on Huangquan Road!" ”

"You like men, you won't be lonely with two handsome men, this girl doesn't want to die yet," said Xuanshuang and took out the dagger at his waist. It is not very convenient to enter the water with other weapons, only a short dagger is suitable, and each person brought one in case of emergency.

"Now we rush out, maybe there's a silver lining!" After Ouyang finished speaking, he rushed out, the pillar followed, and Zifeng and Xuanshuang also hurriedly followed.

It's just very unfortunate that before the four of them have run halfway, the snow lion arrived.

The snow lion's mouth and four paws were stained with red blood, and it pounced on the four of them with its teeth and claws.

Ouyang Yi and Zhu Zi threw the dagger in their hands towards the snow lion almost at the same time, and the two daggers were impartially pierced into the two eyes of the snow lion. The blind snow lion went crazy all of a sudden, and with a flutter he pressed Ouyang Yi and the pillar to the ground, and the sharp claws quickly pierced the flesh of the two, and the snow lion opened its mouth to bite with its mouth open, so anxious that Zifeng and Xuanshuang also threw out the dagger in their hands in unison, and stabbed it, but it didn't seem to have a great effect on the furious snow lion.

Seeing that Ouyang Yi and Zhuzi were about to hide in the lion's mouth, the snow lion buried his head in the two, Ouyang Yi and Zhuzi also closed their eyes in despair, who knows, when the injured and manic snow lion approached the two, he suddenly stopped, as if he was sniffing something on the two. Then he unexpectedly let go of the two of them and pounced on Zifeng and Xuanshuang.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zi Feng shouted at Xuanshuang: "Run!" Snow lions don't eat men, only women! ”

Xuanshuang also followed, running rapidly.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she took out the restless pill from her waist and threw it into the mouth of the lion.

The snow lion's speed began to slow down.

Seeing that the medicine was working, Xuan Shuang shouted at Zifeng: "Quick, quickly throw the Stopping Pill into the lion's mouth!" ”

As soon as Zi Feng turned around, he also threw the restless pill into the lion's mouth.

The lion was even slower, ran for a while, and fell to the ground with a thud.

At this time, Ouyang Yi and the pillar, who had returned, pointed at the wall of the cave, turned over and rolled in front of the snow lion, and at the same time threw the Stopping Pill at the lion who had not had time to get up and roared with his mouth wide open.

The lion's body immediately fell down again, got up again, fell down again, and so many times, as if he had exhausted his strength, lay on the ground, struggled for a while, and finally flattened his limbs and stopped moving.

Xuanshuang let out a long sigh of relief, "Thanks to this snowfall!" ”

"No wonder the snowfall girl said that this medicine can't be renewed, it turns out, take one, although it is stopped, it can still move, but if you continue to take it, you will really die!" Ouyang Yi sighed.

"Why doesn't the snow lion bite you?" Purple Wind asked.

"We don't know either!" The pillar replied.

"Could it be that this snow lion is a female lion who doesn't bite men but only women?" Purple Wind muttered.

"Let's go!" , Xuanshuang dragged the purple wind away, "If you don't go, it's a pity for the snow lion to wake up!" ”

"Huh? Isn't Snow Lion dead yet? Zifeng asked as he was dragged along.

The four of them came to another cave and found the corpses of the sailors, which can be described as miserable, some of the corpses were disemboweled, their internal organs were dragged out, and some of their heads were caught. There was blood and minced flesh all over the ground.

"Snow lions also bite men?" Zi Feng thought in his heart.

Ouyang Yi was very uncomfortable in his heart, everyone was his subordinates, and he brought them in, and now he ......

"Childe, don't be sad!" The pillar comforted, "This is also something that can't be helped!" ”

"Yes, Lord Ouyang, now our top priority is to find Lord Chen, the sooner we find Lord Chen, the less dangerous Lord Chen will be!" Zifeng also said.

"Be kind to their families!" Ouyang Yi said, "Zhuzi, after you go out, you can do this matter yourself!" ”

"Yes, Childe!"

Let's talk about the scene by the lake, it is already dark, and the people waiting on the shore are already anxious when they see that the group of people who have entered the water have not returned for a long time.

Ru Yan regretted that she should not have rushed to find her brother, and let so many friends fall into trouble, and possibly lose her life. As time passes, it is no longer possible to persuade the hazy moon and snowfall.

Ru Yan could only invite Ouyang Yan's subordinate officials, Wupin Attendants, and Lord Wang Chong to come over to discuss the rescue plan. Now only Lord Wang's official is the biggest and the most decisive.

Wang Chong was about forty, burly, with a purple-red face, as if caused by excessive drinking, and his voice was loud.

But who knew that this Wang Chong only had a good eight-foot torso in vain, and he had no decisive power, and whatever Ren Ruyan said, he vetoed them one by one. Obviously, he didn't want to make any decision to rescue him. It was Ouyang Yi who made the decision to go into the water to find Chen Ruyan at the beginning, but now that something has happened, it can be pushed on Ouyang Yan. By not taking rescue measures, he is at best taking responsibility for doing nothing, but if measures are taken and more casualties are caused, it is not certain how much responsibility he bears.

This Wang Chong made Ru Yan angry enough.

Xue Xue also scolded this Wang Chong bastard in his heart, it was this inaction, and his attitude of fooling around made him more than forty years old, and he was still a five-grade attendant under the young Ouyang Yi.

"Sister Ru Yan, Sister Xuexue, they don't want to go, then I'll go alone!" Hazy Moon was also angry and cried.

As he was talking, suddenly a messenger pointed to the surface of the water and shouted, "Look, there's movement there!" ”

The crowd looked towards the place pointed by the shouting messenger, and sure enough, the whirlpool had long since disappeared, and the calm water had once again rippled in circles.

Then came a head, two, three .......

"It's Sister Xuanshuang, it's Sister Xuanshuang and Sister Zifeng, they're back!" Hazy Moon happily hugged Ru Yan and shouted.

Ru Yan saw that it was indeed Xuanshuang them, so she burst into tears of joy.

The snowfall also came, and the three of them hugged it, and they all shed tears.

"Sister Xuanshuang, Sister Zifeng!" Hazy Moon happily ran towards the two of them.

However, Xuan Shuang and Zi Feng were stunned when they went to conquer the land, and they didn't mean to greet her at all.

Ouyang Yi and Zhu Zi also hung their heads, looking very depressed.

Hazy Moon took a closer look, and the few of them had brought back something. The messengers were helping to drag the thing to shore, and it was a coffin.

Ru Yan and Xue Xue also came this way.

When passing by Ouyang Yan's side, Ouyang Yan said, "Ru Yan, I'm sorry!" ”

A strong uneasiness rose in Ru Yan's heart. This feeling intensified as she approached, so much so that several times she would fall to the ground without the help of snowfall.

The coffin has been dragged ashore.

Ru Yan stood still in front of the coffin, trembling and stroking the lid with her hands.

"Open it!" Ru Yan said weakly.

"Ru Yan!" The snow tried to soothe her.

"Turn it on! I'll let you open it! Ru Yan's voice suddenly became hoarse, startling everyone else.

"Sister Xuanshuang, what's wrong?" Hazy Moon asked with a crying voice.

Xuanshuang didn't answer, but just pulled Haze Moon to her side and put her hand around her shoulder.

Ouyang Yi silently waved his hand at the messengers and motioned for them to open the coffin.
