Chapter Fifty-Six: Fighting the Dragon
The cry of the nine-headed dragon suddenly stopped, and it writhed in the water with some uneasiness, Xin Yifan and Qiao Minshan could only look at it in a daze, and they didn't even dare to move their bodies.
At this time, a strange thing happened, I saw that the water level of the lake began to drop at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, the entire lake disappeared, and only the bottom of the lake was covered with silt.
The mud gradually began to dry up, and finally turned into a whole yellow earth, and the body of the nine-headed dragon began to shrink as the water level dropped, and finally became as thick as a human waist, and its lower body was buried in the earth, so that it was like a statue, and it was no longer as scary as before.
"Who are you?" a voice sounded in Xin Yifan and Qiao Minshan's minds, like bursts of thunder.
The two looked at each other in horror and did not dare to speak.
"I won't eat yours, you can come down. The thunderous voice sounded again, it was the voice of this Kowloon.
I saw that the corner of the yellow earth near Xin Yifan began to bulge and form an earthen platform, which slowly rose until it reached the feet of Xin Yifan and Qiao Minshan.
"Stand up. The voice of the hydra dragon sounded in the heads of the two of them again.
Xin Yifan stepped on the yellow earthen platform, and it felt like stepping on the dirt ground. Qiao Minshan saw that Xin Yifan had already stood up, and she also jumped lightly and stood beside Xin Yifan.
The yellow earth platform begins to descend slowly to the bottom of the lake, and then merges with the yellow earth at the bottom of the lake.
"What's in your mouth?" At this time, the dragon head in the middle of the nine-headed dragon spoke directly, and the sound was the same as the sound of thunder just now, but this time, Xin Yifan and Qiao Minshan could really hear it with their ears.
Xin Yifan took out the spirit bone from his mouth and put it in the palm of his hand, the light emitted by the spirit bone was lighter than just now, but it could still illuminate the entire bottom of the lake.
"We call it the Spirit Bone. Xin Yifan said cautiously.
The nine heads of the nine-headed dragon all looked at this spirit bone, and after a while, the dragon head in the middle said, "This is the index finger bone of the ancestral spirit, where did you get it?"
"Index finger bone!" Xin Yifan was also shocked when he heard it, this nine-headed dragon not only knew the spirit bone, but also knew that this was an index finger bone, but what was the ancestral spirit?
"I got it from a Buddha statue, but I don't know how the owner of the Buddha statue got this bone. Xin Yifan replied truthfully.
"What is a Buddha statue?" asked the dragon head in the middle.
"This, the Buddha statue is the statue of the Buddha, and the Buddha is a person with great wisdom. Xin Yifan explained that he didn't expect this dragon to not know what a Buddha statue was.
"It's a totemic image. The faucet in the middle continued to ask.
Xin Yifan thought for a while and said, "Well, there are some differences, but it's similar to the role played by the totem." He hadn't thought to explain Buddhism to a dragon.
The dragon head in the middle of the nine-headed dragon gradually approached Xin Yifan, and then looked at the spirit bone in Xin Yifan's hand, Xin Yifan and Qiao Minshan were so frightened by his action that they didn't dare to move.
"You put it on the ground. The faucet in the middle said at this time.
Xin Yifan could only do as he said, and put the spirit bone in his hand on the ground.
At this time, a magical scene appeared, only to see that the yellow earth turned into nothingness after touching the spirit bones, revealing the rocks under the land.
Then the spirit bone began to spread as the center, and the entire loess began to disappear, gradually revealing the rocks at the bottom of the entire lake, until it spread to the position where the body of the nine-headed dragon was buried by the loess.
Soon, the loess on the body of the nine-headed dragon also disappeared, revealing its lower body.
Xin Yifan saw that the lower body of the nine-headed dragon was tightly entangled by an earthy yellow chain, and the chain merged with the rocks at the bottom of the entire lake.
The nine-headed dragon saw that the loess buried in his body began to disappear, and let out a huge dragon groan, and saw that the earthy yellow chain began to have cracks that were broken, and the dragon groan emitted by the nine-headed dragon became louder and louder, and then his body began to swell, getting bigger and bigger.
Xin Yifan and Qiao Minshan watched all this in horror, and Qiao Minshan's hand could only hold Xin Yifan's arm tightly.
The dragon's roar became louder and louder, the air was filled with water vapor, and the spirit bones on the ground also emitted brighter and brighter light, as if they were going to drown Xin Yifan, Qiao Minshan and the nine-headed dragon in the light.
Suddenly, the dragon's groan came to an abrupt end.
"What are you doing?!!! "The nine-headed dragon let out an angry voice, and the nine heads all looked at Xin Yifan with hideous faces.
Because Xin Yifan picked up the spirit bone from the ground, and then the earthy yellow chain that trapped the nine-headed dragon began to heal again, and the yellow soil slowly began to bury the lower half of the nine-headed dragon's body.
The anger in the heart of the nine-headed dragon who thought it was going to get out of trouble can be imagined, and it leaned all nine heads towards Xin Yifan's side, making a gesture of opening its teeth and dancing claws, which frightened the two of them straight back.
However, the hydra did not come near them, and its body began to grow smaller again, and became the thickness of a human waist again.
"Why are you stopping me from getting out of trouble?" The Hydra's voice sounded, and the voice was much quieter than the thunderous sound just now.
"Uh~ I didn't know that picking up the spirit bones would interrupt your escape, this, I'm sorry. Xin Yifan replied cautiously.
He actually picked it up on purpose, and when he saw that the nine-headed dragon was about to get out of trouble, he felt that the first ones to be killed were him and Qiao Minshan, so Xin Yifan picked up the spirit bone without hesitation, and sure enough, the nine-headed dragon's escape was interrupted.
"Now, put the ancestral spirit bones on the ground immediately!" said the dragon head in the middle of the nine-headed dragon viciously, with an irresistible majesty.
"I'm afraid this can't be done!" Xin Yifan boldly refused.
The nine-headed dragon was stunned for a moment when it heard Xin Yifan's refusal, it didn't expect this little human being to be so bold, so the nine-headed dragon said in a very deafening voice: "What did you say!"
Xin Yifan lowered his head and looked at the spirit bone in his hand, and it lit up again, as if the current had suddenly increased.
This discovery made him feel strange in his heart, but it was also in line with his guess, it turned out that this dragon could also charge the spirit bones.
When the nine-headed dragon appeared just now, the spirit bone suddenly emitted a strong light, although it did not have the brightness just now, but once the dragon got angry or shouted loudly, the spirit bone seemed to be charged, and the brightness would change somewhat.
Now Xin Yifan didn't have time to understand the reason, he pulled Qiao Minshan back to the side of the mountain wall, staring at the dragon.
"We want to get out, you must have a way. Xin Yifan said boldly again.
The nine-headed dragon listened to Xin Yifan's words, and entangled the nine heads together a little manically, and then kept changing the orientation of the upper body, as if it was about to swallow the two of them in one bite.
"I said put the ancestral spirit bones on the ground!" the dragon head in the middle of the nine-headed dragon continued.
"You tell me how to get out first!" Xin Yifan returned not to be outdone.
"You're not afraid I'll eat you!" the dragon roared loudly again.
Xin Yifan didn't answer this time, he was really afraid that the nine-headed dragon would come over desperately and eat him and Qiao Minshan.
"This, Brother Long, do you think this will work, you tell me how to get out first, and I will help you get out of trouble?" Xin Yifan said cautiously.
"I don't get out of trouble, you can't get out of here, only if I break free from this chain, I can fly to it with you. "The hydra didn't let out a loud roar this time.
"But we're worried that you'll eat us after you get out of trouble, or you'll leave by yourself, what will we do then!" Xin Yifan said again.
"Then what do you say you have to believe me!" the Hydra's tone sounded a little helpless.
Xin Yifan thought for a long time and didn't think of a good way, so he began to discuss with Qiao Minshan, and the two reasoned for a while, and the result was that only by escaping can they live, half of the ones who help the nine-headed dragon get out of trouble may be eaten, and the remaining half depends on the mood of the nine-headed dragon, not to help the nine-headed dragon get out of trouble, from the current situation, the nine-headed dragon did not eat them, and now I don't know what the reason is, that is to say, not helping it get out of trouble is the best choice for the two of them now.
They can't put their lives and deaths in the mood of this dragon.
"Have you discussed it? The hydra yelled impatiently at the two.
Xin Yifan noticed that the light of the spirit bone suddenly lit up again. He told Qiao Minshan about this discovery, and the two ignored the nine-headed dragon and continued to stare at the spirit bone.
Seeing that the two of them didn't answer, the nine-headed dragon roared even more impatiently: "Ah~ When are the two of you going to discuss!"
"It's really lit up!" Qiao Minshan said with some joy.
At this time, the nine-headed dragon felt ignored by the two, and its impatience turned into anger, only to hear it let out a loud roar again, and stretched its head desperately in the direction of Xin Yifan and Qiao Minshan.
"Wow! it's really lit up again!" Qiao Minshan clapped her hands happily and jumped.
"This, Brother Long, you see if this is good, you tell us how to get out first, as long as we can get out, I will help you get out of trouble. Xin Yifan didn't continue to test the brightness with the spirit bones, but asked the nine-headed dragon again about the way to get out of trouble, after all, there was nothing to eat here, and it was impossible for him and Qiao Minshan to stay for too long.
"You two lowly creatures, you actually want to negotiate with me! Okay! You continue to discuss, I have been trapped here for countless epochs, I have time, I will watch you die, and the spirit bones will naturally fall to the ground!" the hydra roared with hatred.
At this time, Xin Yifan didn't know how to talk to it, so he could only lean against the cliff with Qiao Minshan in a daze.
"Yifan, what now?" Qiao Minshan asked.
Xin Yifan shook his head and said, "Now I can only use the power of the spirit bone to search again to see if I can find other exits." After that, Xin Yifan established an induction with the spirit bone, and by the way, Qiao Minshan also entered this state of induction.
At this time, only the nine-headed dragon was heard to let out a desperate cry, "Don't !!"
