Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Peak of Despair
Ruofeng nodded and agreed: "I think it's feasible, it's just too difficult to walk in the ice and snow that doesn't reach your calves, it's too difficult, why don't we just slide over this ice lake, maybe it's really over there." ”
Zi Xuan frowned and said cautiously: "This lake is full of weirdness, and I don't know what to say about the green, will it be too dangerous to walk from here!"
Zhao Yun patted Zixuan's shoulder: "Alas, this ice lake is very strong, the third child only smashed a little debris with a stone, a few of us held hands to maintain balance and walked together, the force area expanded, no problem!"
Facing the four-to-one team, Zixuan had no choice but to agree with the attitude of giving it a try, Xia Kucao didn't want to refute, she was too cold, and she really needed to leave here urgently, but she had to fight for anything that was full of hope, and she had seen it with her own eyes in that green and vibrant place, and there was nothing false.
Maybe it's really another village, after walking in the snow for so long, people are about to collapse and freeze to death, and there is no way to make a fire, isn't there no way to live?
The five of them nodded to each other, held hands, and walked forward slowly step by step in a row, the ice was very slippery, and the summer withered grass almost slipped a few times, but fortunately, Zixuan next to her grabbed her arm, it should hurt if she fell, and she refused to think about it.
Prunella suddenly had a strange feeling, how could it always feel that there was a black shadow under the ice, and when you looked closely, it swished and disappeared.
She frowned and looked up at the sky, it shouldn't be, there are no dark clouds in the sky, the ice is open, and there is no obstruction, it is not reasonable to say that it is projection.
There seemed to be a movement under his feet, Xia Kucao turned his head to look around, touched Zixuan next to him and said, "Do you have any strange feelings, is it that I am hallucinating from the cold, I always feel that something is following us under the water!"
Zixuan immediately raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and told everyone not to speak, Xia Kucao and everyone looked under the ice with wide eyes, they were now in the center of the lake, if there was really an accident, they would be in a dilemma.
After looking at it for a minute, Qi Zheng shook his head and said, "I didn't see anything, little sister, are you hungry and dizzy?"
After finishing speaking, his feet trembled suddenly, there was a feeling that the sky was falling apart, the feet of the prunella grass slipped, and he leaned back straightly.
Shocked, before he could stand firmly, there was another shock, this shock, the crack at a speed visible to the naked eye, the ice lake split in half, a touch of black flashing, something was about to come out.
Zixuan shouted: "Quick, run......" As he spoke, he pulled up the prunella grass and ran wildly, the ice behind him shattered and quickly stretched towards their feet.
The stress point is in the middle of the lake, so the whole ice block is like a mirror shattered from the center, and it explodes in all directions.
Zi Xuan flew up, picked up the dagger and used all his strength to insert the dagger into the ice, the red light appeared, and there was a stabbing sound, and the uncracked ice was cut off from the ice that was cracking.
Everyone watched as the ice was shattered and shattered, and suddenly there was another shock behind them, and the only piece of ice that was isolated by Zixuan and connected to the shore was shattered.
Zhao Yun hurriedly pulled back Ruofeng and Qi Zheng to be close to Zixuan, Zixuan held the summer withered grass steady, and kept the only intact ice cube in the same way, which was close enough for five people to stand.
Ruofeng trembled and said: "What is in the lake, oh my God, how did it smash the ice to pieces, and now we have cut off our retreat, and now we are still some distance from the shore, I can't fly over!"
Qi Zheng nervously pulled Zhao Yun's arm and said: "Look at the turbulent water, this must be a behemoth, otherwise it can't be as big as a cow, shattering the ice and stirring the lake." ”
Zhao Yun nodded: "I've always heard that there are water monsters in the world, but no one has ever touched them, could it be that we have encountered them this time?"
Zixuan gestured and said, "Everyone stay calm, don't be afraid, even if it is a behemoth, as long as we unite as one, we will defeat it!"
Everyone was immediately boosted, clenched the dagger in their hands, Xia Kucao was protected by the four of them in the center, she looked at the lake and gradually calmed down, and said a little panicked: "That thing is gone, why is it not moving?"
Zixuan shook his head: "Don't be careless, since you are here, how can there be a reason to go, now the five of us are tied to a piece of ice floes, if this ice floe is gone, we can only fight to the death, everyone get ready!"
A black tail suddenly surfaced, Xia Kucao saw it with sharp eyes, and immediately patted Qi Zheng, who was facing in this direction, and said, "Fourth brother, have you seen it, is that long black tail?"
After asking, he found that no one answered, and when he looked again, Qi Zheng was already white under the sweat and rain, Zixuan put his hand on Qi Zheng's shoulder and said, "What's wrong with you, are you okay?"
Qi Zheng was trembling almost all over, Zi Xuan felt it, he patted Qi Zheng on the shoulder, and instructed everyone: "What is not known yet, but the five of us guard the four directions, as long as it is within three inches of us, we will do it!"
After speaking, the water on the surface of the lake splashed, and a black head suddenly warped out of the water, and the water flowed down from its green eyes, and it rushed towards Ruofeng with its bloody mouth, Ruofeng screamed and waved the dagger in his hand to attack.
The other three immediately turned around, and Zixuan flew up, and the dagger went straight into it.
Prunella was shocked, this is a boadda? Its head is flat like a boat, its neck is as thick as a tree, its snake hyacinth is red and long, and its eyes are eerie and terrifying.
The anaconda was slashed by Ruofeng's dagger, and suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, before he could see clearly, another black object was thrown towards it, and it was Zixuan who swooped down with a dagger and pierced it seven inches.
Hearing a muffled snort, Zixuan was knocked out by the black thing, and "Peng" fell into the water.
Only then did Prunella see that this black one was not something else, but a snake head, and the other one was also a snake head, and this snake turned out to be a two-headed snake?
Xia Kucao turned his head to look at Zixuan who was struggling in the water, he was anxious, the water was so cold, and he was injured by the two-headed snake, he didn't know how he was, he rarely regretted it in his heart, and blamed himself for being too wasted in the first half of his life, and he didn't learn any martial arts.
In every dream she ever had, there was a water-shaped man who taught her martial arts, but she didn't learn any of them.
Zhao Yun was so frightened that he took a few steps back, crashed into Xia Kucao's body, and shouted in his mouth: "Monster monster!"
Xia Kucao saw absolute horror in his eyes, Ruofeng and Qi Zheng were also retreating, and the knife wound on the face of the two-headed snake was healed, obviously angering it.
It opened its two bloody maws and swooped down on the ice where the four men were.
A figure flashed by, the two-headed snake suddenly let out a heart-rending roar, Xia Kucao saw that it was Zixuan, he was holding a blood-red jade pendant in his hand, holding a dagger in his hand and stabbing into the neck of the two-headed snake, the jade pendant was transparent and exuded a blood-red light, enveloping Zixuan's whole person.
The two-headed snake was stimulated and struggled violently, its bucket-thick tail completely overturning the ice at the feet of the prunella.
Cool as water, cold and biting, is this going to die, Xia Dry Grass saw the horror of the other three at the last moment when she was submerged in the water.
I'm afraid that my face is also shocking, the red light-wrapped Zixuan is still resisting stubbornly, Xia Kucao's eyes slowly closed, she is too cold, so cold that she can't tell the difference between dream and reality, and she actually feels that her body is warm.
The blood of the limbs and bones also warmed up, as if it was boiling, and her consciousness was reviving little by little, Xia Kucao didn't know whether to be happy or not, could it be that she didn't do anything bad in this life, so she wanted to go to heaven after death?
It is said that heaven is the warmest of all, and everyone yearns for it, and the suffering people make it their ultimate goal.
But she was unwilling, so what, who could fight with the sky, she swam across the deepest river to her waist, could it be that she still wanted to swim across this covered ice lake?
There are no idlers here, no wild cranes, and it may not be useful to ask the gods, so who can be expected to save them?
He...... Won't come!
Xia Kucao's heart hurts so much, how could he think of this problem, it's like digging a pit for himself to jump, he has saved it once or twice, is it possible that it will appear again? Wishful thinking, he doesn't even know you!
Prunella cried, crying and laughing again because she found that she could open her eyes, breathe freely in the water, and even wipe her tears with her hands!
She stretched out her palm and looked at it incredulously, no, she could move freely in the water, she was the same existence as a fish?
But time didn't allow her to think too much, because she saw Qi Zheng who was close to her, he was desperately popping through the water, his mouth was constantly bubbling, struggling but finding nothing, unable to break free.
Prunella tried to use some force, this time she had already swam out a few feet, Prunella grass's eyes widened, could she look up to the sky and roar, did God take a fancy to her, don't let her die?
If so, cherish it, and whatever the reason, the result is that one cannot die.
Zixuan used the last of his strength, and the jade pendant seriously injured the two-headed snake when it exploded, and it plunged headlong into the water and disappeared without a trace.
After seeing the red light from the bottom of the water, Xia Kucao calmed down again, and a piece of jade pendant fell in front of her eyes, and she reached out to catch it!
When the three of them were salvaged by Prunella at the same time, Zixuan took one last look at her, with shock and incomprehension in his eyes, but he was so tired that he couldn't say a word, his eyes were closed, and he fainted on the ice from exhaustion, and Prunella hurriedly transported the four of them ashore.
In the face of the four wet brothers, the prunella grass is in a mess, and it is recorded in ancient books that people who choke on water need to press their chests to make people spit water, and she will press them one by one.
Zhao Yun woke up first, he coughed and spit out a lot of water, his whole body trembled, his teeth chattered, his eyes were blurred and he still recognized Prunella, he said weakly: "Little sister, are we still alive?"
Xia Kucao suddenly nodded with tears in her eyes: "It's still alive!"
Zhao Yun smiled with relief, this smile was extremely stiff, with an indescribable vicissitudes of life, Xia Kucao tried his best to finally build a fire, they were saved!
