Chapter 65: Gu Yin
At this time, Chi Xiaoyue shouted a little anxiously at the entrance of the cave, "Hey, are you okay?"
Cao Xiaoyang waved his hand at her. "It's okay, this hole is not deep, and it won't hurt anyone if you fall. β
Saying that, Chi Xiaoyue threw her long whip down from the hole, and then pulled Cao Xiaoyang up.
After that, Cao Xiaoyang asked Chi Xiaoyue about the clay sculptures in the cave, and Chi Xiaoyue also seemed very puzzled for a while, according to her, it seems that clay sculptures are not used in the tomb customs of Miao Jiang.
Before dark, they gathered on the shore of the lake, when the water of Hongyue Lake began to become more and more turbid, and the center of the lake was bubbling outward.
At this time, Chi Jiang said to Chi Xiaoyue and Cao Xiaoyang, "It looks like that thing is about to come out, you don't know how to use its Gu Yin, so let's hide aside first and prepare the herbs in case you need it." β
Chi Xiaoyue nodded, pulled Cao Xiaoyang to the side, and began to use stones to mash the herbs picked during the day little by little, and then smeared them on the white cloth brought in advance to make a dressing.
Chi Yu and Chi Jiang stood at both ends of the Red Moon Lake, cautiously watching the movement in the lake, at this time the moon rose little by little from the eastern mountain, and the white moonlight reflected the dark red light in the black lake water, no wonder this lake was called Red Moon Lake.
Less than fifteen minutes after the moon rose, the reaction in the lake became more and more violent, and the bubbles that bubbled out of the center of the lake became larger and larger, as if the entire lake was boiling.
Cao Xiaoyang watched quietly next to him, and suddenly felt the earth begin to tremble, and then a column of water suddenly burst out in the center of the lake, and a giant snake head with gray and black stripes rushed out, followed by a huge snake body wrapped in black scales, and the snake scales glowed with metallic luster in the moonlight.
Cao Xiaoyang was a little stunned for an instant next to him, with such a figure, if he hadn't known in advance that it was called a beetle snake, Cao Xiaoyang would definitely feel that he had seen a dragon.
At this moment, I saw that the beetle snake came out of the water more than ten meters high, and there were some fin-like things on its back, and as it swayed its body, the surrounding lake water spread out to all sides, and a huge hole was formed around it for a while, and you could even see the rocks at the bottom of the lake when you looked at it from the shore of the lake.
The Witch King once said that once the beetle snake matures, it has the ability to soar into the sky, but now it seems that this is true.
But at the moment when it rushed out of the lake, Chi Yu and Chi Jiang quickly urged Gu Yin, and those ropes made of snake skin quickly spread out on the surface of the lake, and then formed a huge net to force the beetle snake back into the lake.
The beetle snake began to flutter wildly, and for a time the river and the sea were turned in the Hongyue Lake, and the lake was splashed more than ten zhang high, and the whole lake seemed to be pouring rain.
Because the water of this lake was mixed with snake venom, after it splashed on his skin, Cao Xiaoyang obviously felt a burning stinging sensation, and then Chi Xiaoyue hurriedly helped him apply herbs on his body, and this feeling was slightly relieved.
She said to Cao Xiaoyang, "You have golden silkworm Gu in your body, these snake venoms can't be fatal to you, but they can erode your skin, if you leave a scar, you won't be handsome." β
At this time, Cao Xiaoyang also took some herbs and wiped them on her face.
"Don't patronize me, you delicate skin and tender flesh also need to be protected. β
Chi Xiaoyue said with a smile, "Don't worry, the physique of our Gu cultivators is different from yours, and this diluted snake venom won't cause us any harm." β
At this moment the beetle snake began to churn more and more frantically, and despite its great strength, it could not break through the great net made of snake skin.
Not only that, the snake scales on the snake's body and the net touched the snake began to fall off, and its body soon revealed some bright red flesh, at this time, while controlling the big net, the worm feather released Gu worms from the worm nest on his iron rod, which was a group of black insects that could fly like a wasp, they specifically attacked the place where the scales on the beetle snake's body fell off, and they didn't know what kind of poison they carried, as soon as the wound exposed by the beetle snake came into contact with these small worms, soon the flesh and blood in the wound turned into purple thick water and flowed out, so the place where the snake scales fell off began to form some holes, throughout the whole body of the beetle snakeγ
The beetle snake looked very painful, but the struggle was not as violent as it was just now, and it could be seen that its physical strength was about to be exhausted at this moment.
But at this moment, the beetle snake's eyes suddenly lit up, and soon it noticed that it was not the giant net that bound itself, but the two people who operated the giant net on the shore of the lake, because it was completely trapped by the net at this moment, and there was no way to attack Chi Yu and Chi Jiang at close range, so it changed its strategy and opened its mouth to spray deadly snake venom at them.
Due to the huge size of this beetle snake, the amount of snake venom it can release is also very large, and Chi Jiang was a little caught off guard for a while and was hit by snake venom.
Seeing this, Chi Xiaoyue hurriedly ran over with the ground herbs to save him, and at this moment, Chi Yu also sent a distress signal, so Cao Xiaoyang also hurriedly ran over with the herbs.
At this moment, the beetle snake was still churning desperately because of the pain on its body, and a large amount of mist had formed around the lake, and it was almost impossible to see people at a distance of more than five meters.
Cao Xiaoyang finally found the location of Chi Yu, and was about to give him the antidote, but suddenly found that this guy had an extra black cloak on his body, and under the protection of this cloak, he didn't seem to be injured by snake venom.
Cao Xiaoyang was a little puzzled for a while, since he was not poisoned, why did he send out a distress signal just now?
At this moment, Chi Yu suddenly turned around, with a smile on his face that made Cao Xiaoyang shudder, Cao Xiaoyang suddenly felt bad and wanted to escape, but it was too late.
The feather threw a rope at him, pulling him in front of him, and then thrust him into the lake.
After that, the feather deliberately loosened the net, and the injured beetle snake took the opportunity to break free, and then quickly burrowed into the lake.
Looking at the Moon Lake, which had calmed down a little, Chi Yu's face showed an evil smile, and then unhurriedly dipped his hand in the snake venom on the ground and wiped it on his face.
After that, the water vapor on the lake gradually dissipated, and Chi Xiaoyue walked over little by little with the help of the injured Chi Yu.
"It's a shame, if I could have held on a little longer, I could have trapped it to death, but I didn't expect it to run away. β
Chi Jiang's focus has always been on the beetle snake, and Chi Xiaoyue was looking for Cao Xiaoyang for the first time when she came over, but she looked around but didn't find Cao Xiaoyang's figure, and she was a little anxious for a while.
"Brother Chi Yu, where is Xiao Yang? I remember that he should have brought you medicine just now. β
Chi Yu slowly turned his face sideways towards Chi Xiaoyue, only to see that the half of his face that was stained with snake venom just now had black blood dripping little by little, and then he showed a weak posture and fell to the ground.
He said in a very heavy tone: "He was almost able to deliver the antidote to me, but at this time, the beetle snake suddenly found him, and swept him into the lake with the snake's tail, I wanted to save him, but there was really no way in that situation at that time, if I let go of the Gu lead, the beetle snake would definitely pounce on you." So, sorry ......"
After hearing this, Chi Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment.
"What did you say, Xiaoyang, he fell into the lake?"
At this time, Chi Jiang hurriedly helped her up. "Xiaoyue, you must calm down. β
Chi Xiaoyue gasped and shook her head. "No, I must go down and save him......"
As he spoke, he broke away from Chi Jiang's hand and turned around and was about to jump into the lake, when Chi Yu hurriedly got up and hugged her.
"Are you crazy, this lake is full of snake venom, you don't want to come up alive even if you jump with a copper head and iron arm. β
"I don't care, Xiaoyang is down there, I must go and save him!"
Chi Xiaoyue seemed to have completely lost her mind at this moment, and at this time, Chi Jiang walked behind her and knocked her unconscious with one palm.
Then he picked up the herbs on the ground and handed them to Chi Yu, and said slowly: "This poison is very violent, if you don't apply the medicine quickly, you will have a scar on your face." β
Then he took Chi Xiaoyue from Chi Yu's arms and helped her to the side and sat down.
Chi Yu looked at the herbs sent by Cao Xiaoyang in his hand just now, and then looked at Chi Jiang, and the look on his face suddenly became very strange.
"Big brother, I ......"
Chi Jiang looked down at his unconscious sister and said, "I know your intentions for Xiao Yue, but isn't it too much to do this?"
