Chapter 42: The Blood Bamboo King
An hour later, Hua Tao and Hua Xueying stood together under the lonely stone on the top of Lingzhi Mountain, at this time Hua Tao's bamboo basket was already full of medicinal herbs, he still looked relaxed, his face was not red, he was not panting, as if he was strolling leisurely. Hua Xueying's small face was slightly white, her pink sportswear was mostly soaked with sweat, her breath was heavy, and her body was obviously overdrawn.
The night enveloped the entire land of Shendu, and Lingzhi Mountain was also immersed in darkness. Before the moon rose, only the sparse stars shone faintly. The autumn wind whistled by, blowing the clothes of the two people on the summit to the sound of hunting.
"Ah Tao, have you seen it, there is a pinch of white hundred-year-old ice on the peak tip, that is Zhifeng Xue, take a piece and put it in a closed glassware, and we will complete the first secret material." Hua Xueying excitedly pointed to the cylindrical lone stone above her head and shouted.
The solitary rock is more than five meters high, the stone body is sleek, there is nowhere to climb, and there is a foot-thick white ice on top of it, and the ice is covered with a thick layer of green moss. The bamboo pole knocked up, clanged, and the wind blew up, but it did not melt at all, and it should belong to a permanent glacier or something.
"How did the master get it before?" Hua Tao asked thoughtfully.
"My father has a treasure axe, and if he throws it, he can smash a large piece. Hehe, I brought an ordinary axe in the bamboo basket, you can toss it. Hua Xueying pointed to the bamboo basket and said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I threw the axe at Sister Ruyun's house." Hua Tao spread his hands and said.
"Huh? You loser, why are you throwing my stuff? Hua Xueying was in a hurry, she had been preparing for most of the day for this trip, and in the end, she was actually thrown the most important axe by this guy.
"Don't you say it, the axe is dead and rusty, I thought it was the garbage left by your father, so I ......"
"You're the garbage! Daddy, you have a spirit in heaven, take him away for me, my daughter can't teach him! Hua Xueying crouched on the stone wall and cried out in grief, and tears couldn't help but burst into her eyes again. Without Zhi Fengxue, she would not be able to refine the Powerful Pill, and her order for ten boxes of Powerful Pills would be in vain.
"Hi~!"
A loud roar sounded in Hua Xueying's ears, she turned her head sideways, and saw Hua Tao standing up, holding a slender silver needle in her right hand, waving her hand sharply, only lightly ripping, a large piece of Xuan Ice fell in response, fell into his left hand, and then the figure floated, and he stood in front of her with a wicked smile on his face.
"Give! How much more, I'll get it for you! ”
Hua Xueying didn't say anything, and stretched out a finger in a daze, signaling for another piece. In fact, one piece was enough, she wanted to see if what she had just seen was the real scene.
"Hi~!"
The roar sounded again, pulling out, waving his arms, falling on the ice, flying down, all in one go, and the evil smile on his face didn't seem to change much.
"Senior sister, do you still want it?"
"Are you still human?" Hua Xueying pinched Hua Tao's arm hard, tilted her head and looked at it for a long time, and a large flush was obviously floating on her arm.
Hua Tao stretched out his hand and gently scratched the beautiful sister's little Qiong's nose: "Okay, if you pinch it again, you will pinch off the meat." Let's go down, it's so windy, it's weirdly cold. ”
Hua Xueying sighed, secretly wiped away her tears, stuffed the ice cubes into the glassware, sealed them and put them in the bamboo basket.
After doing this, the beauty took the initiative to stretch out her jade hand, tightly grabbed the man's big hand, and carefully moved down the mountain step by step. On the way down the mountain, Hua Tao picked up the beauty several times, held her in his arms, and crossed the dangerous place. And the beauty didn't have any intention of shirking, let the man hold her, only tilted her head, and silently looked at the man in front of her, because her heart was being quietly conquered by him little by little.
……
In just half an hour, they went down to the cliff of broken bamboo.
At the feet, the sea of clouds churned violently, like a dragon passing through, and thousands of bamboo leaves swayed with the wind, making a rustling and crisp sound. Close to the edge of the cliff, there are three green bamboo lines do not move, the top of the green bamboo, a sparkling, hundreds of thousands of beads rolling and moving, irradiated by the starlight, emitting a little dazzling.
Hua Xueying looked at the pearls at her feet, her eyes flashed with brilliance, she groped in the bamboo basket again for a while, and took out a small long-necked glass bottle: "Ah Tao, take my hand, I'll take Yunlu." ”
Hua Tao pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Forget it, it's too dangerous, I'll come, you just sit here and rest." ”
After speaking, he took the glass bottle, uncorked the bottle, and hung an upside-down golden hook on the cliff wall, his big hands danced again and again, and the water droplets on the bamboo leaves flew into the bottle one by one, and a hundred could not breathe, and a small half bottle of nectar had been gathered.
Hua Xueying looked at the guy below stupidly, his appearance was completely beyond her imagination. Collecting snow from the peak, collecting dew from the cliff, and walking like flying, it is so easy that even his father Hua Qiming can't reach it when he is most proud.
Hua Tao had no time to pay attention to the obsessive demeanor of the beauties above, he happily collected Yunlu, after hundreds of breaths, most of the Yunlu was swept away by him, and when he saw that there were still some in the distance, he actually swayed his body and danced on the cliff like a spirit monkey.
"Rustle~!" "Wow~!"
Two slight chirps came from behind the cliff on the left, and although they were imperceptible, they could fall into Hua Tao's ears like thunder.
"There is no green bamboo behind the cliff, where is the rustling sound? Is it ......? Hua Tao was full of excitement, stopped the movements in his hand, turned around and sat on the stone platform, without a trace of hesitation, hugged the beautiful woman who was still in dementia with one hand, and walked away.
"Bang~!"
At the moment when Hua Tao moved away, a long red whip slammed into the empty space of the stone platform. The stone chips flew, and the entire cliff shook violently for a few breaths. The red whip retracted sharply, and after another rustling sound, a terrifying red head floated from its head.
triangular pointed head, blood-red round eyes, with banter and cunning in the eyes; The body is red, covered with blood-colored scales; The long letter retracted back and forth, making a sizzling sound.
"Ah Tao, blood bamboo green~!"
Hua Xueying finally woke up, she hugged Hua Tao's body tightly, and looked at the red long whip three feet away in fear. The long whip, which was exposed to the outside, was already seven feet long, and some of it was wrapped around the back of the cliff. What frightened her the most was that there were no cyan dots at seven inches of her skull, not even the size of a pinpoint.
"Nine-foot Blood Bamboo King~! Oh my God, it's the Blood Bamboo King~! ”
Hua Xue Yingyu's face turned pale, and her heart sank rapidly, which was a result she didn't expect anyway. The Blood Bamboo King only exists in the legend, his father Hua Qiming has never seen it in Lingzhi Mountain for decades, but today she saw it, and she is attacking her.
"Don't panic, senior sister, I'm here!" Hua Tao shouted in a deep voice.
He squinted at the Blood Bamboo King on the cliff, his left hand tightly hugged Hua Xueying's waist, and his right hand held the three-foot silver needle that Hua Xueying gave him. This blood-colored long worm burst out with layers of cold light, and a cunning light shot out of its eyes, both its intelligence and attack speed reached a terrifying level.
Hua Xueying saw Hua Tao's calm appearance, and slowly calmed down, pulled out the silver needle pinned to her waist, and pointed straight at the cliff: "Blood Bamboo King, I know you understand my words, don't come here, otherwise, poke you to death~!" ”
"Wow~!"
The red scales on the Blood Bamboo King's body trembled and let out a long hissing sound, as if he was responding to Hua Xueying's warning, and also seemed to be provoking the two.
Just when the two of them were frightened, the blood-colored figure suddenly moved, shrinking, swinging its tail, and catapulting, like a red arrow, shooting at the men and women who hugged each other. Its sharp mouth cracked, emitting an unpleasant fishy smell, and the red letter ate Hua Tao's neck; The short and thick tail swayed rapidly, rolling towards Hua Xueying's jade face.
Attacking two people at the same time, the Blood Bamboo King didn't take them in his eyes at all, as if they were already his meal.
"Hi~!"
Hua Tao and Hua Xueying swung out the silver needles at the same time, and the targets were both seven inches below the neck of the Blood Bamboo King. Whether there are green spots or not, that's its only weakness and their only chance.
"Chirp~!"
The two silver needles accurately hit the weakest blood scales of the Blood Bamboo King, and the huge piercing force sent it flying backwards, and although the red scales on the seven inches were not broken, it also made it painful. In addition to cunning, there was also a hint of horror in its bloody eyes. It occasionally eats a hundred years of Ganoderma lucidum, for several years, has been staying in the nest under the cliff, from a seven-foot long insect to a nine-foot blood bamboo king, just out of the hole tonight, thinking that it has encountered two delicious snacks, but I don't know that the other party is spicy, not a general.
But the horror was fleeting, and it was confident that it would eventually swallow them up.
With the power of rebound, the Blood Bamboo King jumped back to the cliff, shrunk his neck a little, his head swayed from side to side for a few breaths, and after feeling that there was no big problem, his sharp mouth opened wide, spewing out a trace of white smoke, and screamed provocatively at Hua Tao and the others.
Hua Xueying's eyes were filled with sadness, and the only bit of luck she had fell apart, she had already used the strength of her whole body just now, and she couldn't pierce the Blood Bamboo King's seven-inch vital point at the first time with all her strength. Dad has long warned that if you can't break it, it's hopeless to poke it again, and the best choice is to escape.
"Ah Tao, let me go, you can escape, senior sister is broken!" Hua Xueying gritted her teeth and said, she was exhausted, and staying to resist the poison was the best choice, and she was willing to do so.
Hua Tao glanced at the beauty in her arms, and from her absolute eyes, she could see that she wanted to exchange her life for time and give herself a chance to escape.
