Chapter 380: Monsters
Teng Fei on the side couldn't stand it, and finally spoke: "Ah Miao, do you know how much danger your son took to come to Taiyi Gate in order to save you?" Your father still has the intention of harming him, and if you don't go with him, if you delay a little longer, he will be really dangerous! β
When Dongfang Miao heard this, the expression on his face finally relaxed, but he still said in embarrassment: "It's not that I don't want to leave, it's just that ...... I don't know how this jade mulberry fruit was taken out of my body. If Qiubai misses, won't he have to blame himself for it for the rest of his life? I'd rather be locked up here for the rest of my life than see him suffer like this. β
Su Qiubai thought for a while and said, "No matter what, let's unravel this enchantment first, otherwise it's all in vain." β
Dongfang Miao was about to speak, when a frightened look suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he said loudly: "Be careful! β
At the same time, Su Qiubai also noticed the strangeness behind him, and immediately dodged and retreated to the side, and when he looked at it again, he found that in the darkness of this cave, there was such a huge monster lurking!
The monster resembled a giant crocodile, but its head was a bit like an ancient carnivorous dinosaur, and its sharp steel teeth flashed in the dark, making people feel chills to look at. Its body is seven or eight meters long, its whole body is covered with black scales the size of a bowl, and its eyes glow yellow, turning left and right, as if choosing its prey.
"Senior, you retreat to a safe place first, and I'll deal with it!" Su Qiubai shouted to Teng Fei not far away.
"This thing looks very powerful, where can you deal with it alone?" Teng Fei said, holding the silver scale sword horizontally in front of him, without the slightest intention of retreating.
Su Qiubai hurriedly said: "Believe me, I am enough to deal with it alone, if you are here, I will inevitably have to be distracted and take care of it, but it will be unfavorable to me." β
Teng Fei had already seen Su Qiubai's strength, and knew that he was not polite, so he didn't have time to think about it, so he obediently retreated to the dark mountain wall.
The monster didn't take Teng Fei in his eyes, so when he saw him retreating, he was not moved, but stared at Su Qiubai and slowly crawled forward.
Su Qiubai had already changed into a puppet form again at this moment, and the monster felt the change in his breath, and immediately hesitated, but in the end, he did not run away like those blue-eyed snakes, but pounced towards Su Qiubai with a bloody mouth.
Although its strength is great, but its skills are not flexible, Su Qiubai easily dodged its blow, and then stabbed it in the neck with a backhand sword, but then only heard a loud sound on the ground, and Su Qiubai was bounced away by a strange force.
Su Qiubai looked at the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand in disbelief, this is an ancient artifact, and it can't pierce the armor of this monster? This was the first time he had encountered this situation since he got the Xuanyuan Sword.
The monster didn't give him time to be surprised, and when he saw Su Qiubai being shaken away, he immediately took the opportunity to chase after him, raised the huge soles of his feet and stepped on the door in front of him. Su Qiubai was not injured by this kind of Cheng dΓΉ's attack, and he dodged this blow with a reflexive roll.
"Qiubai, be careful! The monster's armor is so hard that it's hard to break, try to attack the soft in its mouth. Meat! Dongfang Miao shouted nervously in the light curtain.
Su Qiubai answered, and began to look for an opportunity to attack the monster's mouth. But the monster also seemed to know what was at stake, so it rarely opened its mouth except for the occasional gap to attack. While struggling with it, Su Qiubai calculated in his heart, it had been some time since they entered the secret passage, and it was calculated that Dongfang Rui's phantom should have appeared near the grotto. How long it can drag on after that depends on Dongfang Rui's skills, and once Dongfang Zheng finds out that the situation is wrong, it will take time to rush back, he only hopes to be able to solve the monster within this time and save his mother.
It was not a way to dodge the monster's attack all the time, so Su Qiubai simply jumped and jumped on top of the monster's head.
The monster felt the abnormality on the top of its head, and immediately began to shake its head frantically, Su Qiubai grabbed a raised horn on the top of its head, and barely stabilized its body.
Su Qiubai remembered the situation when he dealt with the puppet before, and the eyes of this monster might also be weak, so he grabbed the horn of the monster with one hand and stabbed it into the eye with the Xuanyuan Sword with the other.
But this monster was not as intelligent as a puppet, and when it sensed Su Qiubai's attack, it immediately closed its eyes, and the Xuanyuan Sword couldn't even penetrate the armor of its eyelids.
Seeing that the blow was not successful, Su Qiubai had to change his method, but that monster was like an impregnable city, and he had a skill, but he didn't know how to use it.
"Qiubai, lead it to a place where there are jade mulberry roots!" Dongfang Miao in the light curtain suddenly shouted.
Su Qiubai didn't have time to think about it when he heard this, so he ran to the place where the roots of the tree were attached to the mountain wall, and the monster was really fooled and ran after him.
But Su Qiubai didn't notice any change here from before, and wanted to ask his mother why he did this, but he didn't dare to be distracted at will.
During the struggle, Su Qiubai suddenly grabbed one of the monster's toes, and took the opportunity to lift it up entirely, falling heavily against the mountain wall.
The weight of that monster is not much lighter than that of an elephant, if it weren't for the power of a puppet in Su Qiubai's body, this lift really couldn't lift it.
As the monster's massive body slammed into the mountain wall, the entire cave shook, and rubble continued to fall from the ceiling. Su Qiubai was about to continue attacking it, but suddenly saw the roots on the mountain wall moving, and soon wrapped the monster firmly and firmly fixed it on the mountain wall.
Su Qiubai glanced back at Dongfang Miao suspiciously, only to see that she was sitting upright in the enchantment at the moment, with a very solemn expression on her face, her brows were tightly locked, and sweat was constantly coming out on her forehead, obviously she was doing something very hard.
Su Qiubai immediately realized that this qiΔ was all done by his mother to help him, and immediately no longer hesitated, taking advantage of the monster's fear, he opened his huge mouth, reflexively threw it hard, and accurately stabbed the Xuanyuan Sword into the monster's mouth.
With the piercing of the Xuanyuan Sword, the monster suddenly let out a deafening roar, and its whole body struggled violently, and the roots of the tree that had bound it were suddenly broken off by it, and it also fell to the ground again, rolling endlessly.
After rolling for a moment, the monster lay still, and the originally black scales lost their luster at this moment, gray and uninteresting, obviously dead.
Su Qiubai raised his hand and made a move, and the Xuanyuan Sword flew back into his hand from the monster's mouth, and even carried a mixture of the monster's blood and saliva, which was very slimy and disgusting.
Su Qiubai wiped his hands on the mountain wall in disgust, and then walked back to his mother, while not forgetting to turn around and ask, "Senior Teng, are you okay?" β
Teng Fei also walked out of the darkness at this time, looked at Su Qiubai with palpitations and said, "You are really hidden, it is really unexpected to be able to fight this monster for so long." It's a good thing I didn't help you, otherwise it would have really held you back. β
Su Qiubai smiled embarrassedly and said: "The predecessor praised it falsely, thanks to my mother's help, I can slash this monster, otherwise if I continue to fight, my strength will always be exhausted, and I will not escape death in the end." β
Teng Fei nodded and said, "It's not too late to talk about these going out, let's think about how to save Ah Miao first." β
Dongfang Miao just took action to control the consumption of the roots of the jade mulberry tree, and when he saw that Su Qiubai was okay at this moment, he put his mind at ease and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Qiubai, you've been here for so long, I'm afraid your grandfather is about to chase after you, it's not too late to talk about saving me later, you still have to ensure your safety first." Dongfang Miao said worriedly.
Su Qiubai shook his head and said, "Dongfang Zheng has my cousin dragging it for me, we still have some time, you tell me how to break this enchantment first." β
Dongfang Miao was stunned when he heard this: "Uncle cousin? β
Teng Fei replied for Su Qiubai: "It's Dongfang Rui, I don't know if you still remember him." β
Dongfang Miao suddenly understood, nodded and said, "That's naturally remembered, but how can you let your cousin take such a big risk?" β
Su Qiubai explained simply, telling her that Dongfang Rui was safe, Dongfang Miao was relieved, glanced around, and said: "This enchantment is also connected to the roots of the jade mulberry tree, and the cracking mechanism is in this cave, but there are too many branches of the roots in this cave, and I don't know which one is the mechanism to unlock the enchantment." β
When Su Qiubai heard this, he got up and looked around, but as Dongfang Miao said, the surrounding mountain walls were full of tree roots, and if he wanted to find the mechanism of the enchantment among the thousands of tree roots, it would be needless to say, and it would take a lot of time.
"Ah Miao, do you really have no clues?" Teng Fei asked unrelentingly.
Dongfang thought for a while and said: "I vaguely remember that my father said that this mechanism should be found from the mountain walls on both sides, so I guess that most of it is corresponding, you can try to find two tree roots that are completely similar, maybe it is where the mechanism is." β
With the direction they were looking for, the two of them were not as blind as before, and although it took some time, they finally unlocked the mechanism of the enchantment.
Now that the enchantment has been unlocked, the jade mulberry fruit in Dongfang Miao's body cannot be taken out, because Su Qiubai is also worried that the situation she said will happen, if he really misses and kills his mother, then he is really to blame.
At this time, when he got closer and looked at it again, Su Qiubai felt more and more that the appearance behind Dongfang Miao was shocking. The root of the tree had long been connected to her skin, and a scar was faintly visible around it, which showed that Dongfang had directly cut open her back and put the jade mulberry fruit into it. Dongfang Zheng's move must not be completely certain, once it fails, Dongfang Miao will definitely die. How ruthless is he to do this to his daughter?
