Chapter 666: Man-Eating Monster
A huge wave of water slammed from the pool to the edge of the pool, and the force of the wave was very large, splashing directly towards Qin Li and the others like a flying boulder. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Qin Li saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly shouted loudly, "Stand back, quickly back off"
Although Qin Li's order was immediate, it was a little late after all, and two private soldiers who were a little slower were still hit hard by the waves, and one of them was simply swept up by the huge waves and was directly swept into the pool.
Although it was March weather, the water in the pool was unusually cold, and the private soldier fell into the pool, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and then a huge monster found him, and the bloody mouth immediately opened, but it was so simple to swallow the private soldier alive.
The monster continued to churn in the water, and another monstrous wave was rolled. Qin Li and the others were stunned, and the boss with his mouth open was at a loss. What's that? It's huge, like a whale, but it's not a whale on closer inspection.
Whether in the future or in this life, Qin Li had never seen such a monster.
OMG! There is such a monster in this small pool, and more importantly, this monster can devour people alive! Looking at it, the monster actually rose from the water, and Qin Li and the others saw it even more realistically. It was covered with tan hair, and two strange eyes actually looked at Qin Li and the others, and its huge body actually wanted to pounce on the shore.
Probably because he swallowed a private soldier just now, the monster solved its hunger, but after all, it did not go ashore, and immediately dived into the water. Because the water in the pool is not very deep, and the sky is slightly bright at this time, you can still see the huge body of the monster clearly when you stand on the edge of the pool.
The pool was calm for the time being, Qin Li looked at it for a long time, and then ordered everyone to take a few steps back, and then he carefully took out the map of the dragon vein, and carefully studied it.
Yes, this place should be the seal of the dragon vein. But Murong Bing and Yang Qimeng had entered the dragon vein, and they didn't say anything about the pool, there were monsters in the pool. What the hell is going on?
Could it be that the earth's crust has changed? But it has only been more than a year since Yang Qimeng and Murong Bing entered the dragon vein, how could there be changes in the earth's crust in more than a year? And according to Yang Qimeng and Murong Bing, they entered the dragon vein quite smoothly according to the map, and saw the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry inside the dragon vein.
Qin Li was confused and puzzled for a while.
In fact, how did Qin Li know that more than a year ago, Yang Qimeng and Murong Bing did find the seal of the dragon vein very smoothly and entered the dragon vein. It's just that they didn't notice it when they blocked the dragon vein seal, and a small amount of groundwater gushed out of the ground at that time.
Hehe! Where didn't Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, design a mechanism when he buried the treasure? He designed a mechanism that harnesses water from the ground. If you can't crack the mechanism, the groundwater will gush out. Even if someone is lucky enough to enter the dragon vein, they can't take the treasure with them. will be drowned in the waters of the earth.
Of course, this small black mountain itself is not high, but unfortunately there is not a lot of groundwater. At that time, Xiang Yu sprinkled a lot of highly toxic drugs on the spring. In this way, once you enter the dragon vein, after triggering the mechanism, the groundwater will become highly poisonous water when it comes out of the spring, and there is no reason for people to be immortal.
I have to say that at that time, Xiang Yu had exhausted his scheming and racked his brains for the design of this mechanism. The mechanism can be described as ingenious, and it does not leak. But after more than a thousand years of change, the mechanism is not so sensitive. Although Yang Qimeng and Murong Bing touched the mechanism, the groundwater flowed down the spring so slowly that they didn't notice it.
And after so many years, many of the poisons that Xiang Yu sprinkled at the spring have also lost their medicinal properties.
After Yang Qimeng and Murong Bing left, the groundwater slowly bubbled up along the spring, so that the current pool on the top of the mountain was formed, just like the heavenly pool.
As for this monster, it naturally gushes out of the ground along the spring. More than a year ago, the monster was naturally small, but after just over a year, it grew into its current form in the pool. For more than a year, the monster didn't actually eat anything, but only relied on the spring water and sunlight to grow "healthily".
Speaking of which, this is the first time that the monster has eaten people.
There is only one reason, the monster uses this pool as its own territory, and the private soldier has invaded its territory, and its territory is to be attacked by it, and it will end up swallowing it into its stomach.
No matter how much Qin Li looked at the map of the dragon vein, no matter how exquisite he was, he was sure that under this pool was the seal of the dragon vein.
What to do? There is such a pool of seven or eight acres here, and more importantly, there is such a huge man-eating monster in the pool. It seems impossible to get into this dragon vein.
But is it just to retreat and go home?
After going back, how to explain to Jiajing, and how to explain to the ministers who know the real purpose of their trip. They were not optimistic about themselves in the first place, because in their opinion, they were fooling around with a thousand people who led a thousand people to Didao, and they would definitely not succeed.
People can die, but where they want to die, they die vigorously. What's more important is that as a man, in fact, the most important thing is dignity, which cannot be looked down upon. Qin Li is a hot-blooded man, Zhou Fan and Wei Zu are also hot-blooded men, and the thousand private soldiers under him are also brave people, where do they have the reason to retreat from the battle?
Looking up at the gray sky, and looking down at the pool again, Qin Li pondered for a moment, and then ordered in a deep voice, "Everyone stand back and rest on the spot for two hours, and after two hours we will have a thrilling battle." ”
Thrilling, it goes without saying that it is natural to kill that man-eating monster.
No one was afraid when they saw a companion die like that, but they hated the monster and wanted to kill it immediately. Everyone knows that such a huge monster is not easy to kill, and it is impossible to say that these two hundred people will be tossed to death by it together.
But everyone knows that they are Qin Li's private soldiers, and if they are Qin Li's private soldiers, they must be ready to die at any time, and they will move forward bravely.
"Lord Qin, we're not tired, we don't need to rest!" I don't know who was the first to shout, and then the two hundred people shouted in unison. The voice was impassioned and morale was high. Qin Li quietly noticed that each of them's eyes seemed to be red. That's the flame of hatred burning.
The death of their companion fueled their endless fighting spirit.
This is my Qin Li's private soldier! With such a group of subordinates, why can't I, Qin Li, dig up Di Dao's treasure? The corners of Qin Li's mouth raised slightly, revealing a satisfied smile. But Xuan even said coldly, "I said it. It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, have you forgotten my words? ”
As soon as Qin Li's words fell, the two hundred people retreated to a distance of 100 meters from the pool and rested on the spot.
At this time, the morning sun was just shining on the earth, and the warm spring breeze was blowing in bursts. The privates simply sat on the ground and closed their eyes.
When you need to rest, you must hurry up and rest, which Qin Li repeatedly emphasized when training private soldiers. Because only when you have a better rest can you better engage in battle. And Qin Li also clearly told them that as Qin Li's private soldiers, they should never worry about not fighting.
Zhou Fan and Wei Zu did not leave Qin Li for a moment. As Qin Li's apprentice, Wei Zu liked Qin Li very much, he glanced at his master and asked softly, "Master, are we going to kill the monster next?" ”
Qin Li nodded lightly.
"But we don't have many people here who know water, do we? There will be very few people going down to the pool, so can so few people kill monsters? Moreover...... Besides, I just tried it, and the water was very cold! Wei Zu's eyes widened, puzzled, and said worriedly.
"Wei Zu, you are really a coward, as the boss, will we be scared by a brute? Hum! No matter how powerful the monster is, no matter how cold the water in the pool is, it will not be difficult for us. Have faith! Zhou Fan gently patted Wei Zu's head and said softly.
Qin Liqian glanced at Zhou Fan and scolded in a low voice, "Zhou Fan, do you still think you are smart?" Wei Zu was right just now, the water in the pool was indeed very cold, and not many of us knew how to use water. No matter how many people go down into the water, they will be eaten by that monster.
Can't we just get the monster out of the water? ”
"Out of the water? The monster is in the water, and if we want it to come up from the pool, will it come up? Will it listen to us? Zhou Fan frowned and asked.
"I told you a long time ago that the seal of the dragon vein is under the pool, and we are going to enter the dragon vein. How do you say? Zhou Fan, your boss just found out that you are so stupid! Qin Li smiled slightly and said softly.
Zhou Fan's old face was red when Qin Li said. It's no wonder that after following Boss Qin for so long, he has long clearly realized the greatness of Boss. Zhou Fan had already made up his mind, and he would follow Boss Qin in this life. Since you want to mix under the boss, you naturally want to be appreciated by the boss. Besides, now there is always a little gap between him and Huang Tian, and they don't believe each other. If Qin Li said that he was stupid just now, if Huang Tian heard it, he might have to be laughed at by Huang Tian for a few days.
Of course, Zhou Fan also knew very well that Boss Qin said that he was stupid, which was the expression of Boss Qin's love for himself. Only if you like yourself, you can hate yourself.
Zhou Fan suddenly slapped his forehead heavily, "Oops! I see! I see! "Those eyes lit up.
"Huh! Just get it, and I'll leave it to you in two hours. Then rest quickly! ”
"Yes! Top dog! Zhou Fan excitedly agreed, and then turned his head. Wei Zu scratched his heart at this time, he didn't dare to ask Qin Li, but he wanted to pester Zhou Fan. The funny thing is that he leaned back, and after a short time, there was a slight snoring sound.
Annoyed, Wei Zu pouted and pouted and quietly looked at the pool on the side. Wei Zu thought that he was going to follow his master in his life, and in the future, he must rely on his own skills to kill the enemy, but he couldn't let people underestimate himself. Zhou Fan looks very good now, hum! Follow the master, no matter how you say it, you can't let someone from a small place like Zhou Fan be left behind.
Hehe! Wei Zu completely forgot that he was also from a small place.
Two hours passed quickly, and the privates, all well-trained, woke up almost at the same time. Although I didn't sleep all night last night, it's just that now these two hours of rest are all clean and vibrant. They lined up Zheng Qi and waited for Boss Qin's order.
Qin Li has not slept, he is still lying on the ground and closing his eyes to recuperate. At this time, Zhou Fan stood straight in front of everyone and said, "Our next task is to dig up this pool and clean the water in the pool." Ask the brothers to be on the lookout for monsters in the pool, as they may fall into the pool again! ”
Boom! Originally, I thought I was going to go into the water and fight to the death with the monsters, but I didn't think that I would dig a pool, and the private soldiers were ignorant for a while. Of course, it also occurred to the clever people that although this was a very clumsy solution, it could make the monster lose its water.
Monsters live in water, maybe without water, there is no need to fight monsters, monsters will die on their own!
Qin Li's words always echoed in the ears of these private soldiers, and it was a soldier's duty to obey orders. They are soldiers, so naturally they do what they are ordered. No one hesitated, and everyone picked up the weapons in their hands, and quickly ran to the edge of the pool and began to dig the gap vigorously.
The pond is at the top of the Little Black Mountain, and as long as the opening is dug, the water will naturally flow down the mountain.
Although it is only a dirt mountain, the soil on the top of the mountain seems to be very hard, and everyone digs hard, and only a little bit of mud and sand can be dug up each time. But no one complained, no one flinched, everyone was working hard.
It wasn't a thrilling battle, but it was a test for the private soldiers. A test of their discipline.
An hour passed, two hours passed, and the monster in the pool remained unmoved as if it were dormant.
The sun was gradually setting, and a gap was finally dug open. The privates retreated in unison, and the water in the pool flowed down the hill.
With the sound of the rushing water, the monster moved. At first, it tossed a few times in the pool, still rolling up a huge wave, and then suddenly leaped into the air, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced on the shore.
With a cloud of vapor, the monster fell to the ground.
The monster was seen more clearly, its hind legs were much thicker than the elephant's, but its front legs were very short. But also strong and powerful. The most surprising thing is that the monster can stand up. The top of the two front legs are razor-sharp nails.
It shook its body on the shore, and the top of the mountain seemed to tremble. It paused for a moment, and at that moment it paused, two hundred privates stood in formation, their faces unusually heavy, their spears clenched tightly in their hands, ready to fight.
At this time, Qin Li had already held the Wind and Fire Dragon Stick with both hands, and the two tiger eyes were staring at the monster tightly, he was standing at the front of the team, and he was going to be the first to rush over. (To be continued.) )
