178, Jiao

If it was like an elevator when we came up, now we are like a roller coaster.

The wind was howling in my ears, and I was lying on the altar with my winter clothes tightly in my arms. My brain quickly wondered if I should jump back to the platform next.

Jian Hanyi's body gradually regained its temperature, and her hand grabbed me tightly, as if she was afraid that I would leave her.

"This altar is going to fall!" Brother Neng said as he looked at the cracked marks on the ground.

Soon the stones in the dome began to fall, and the ground cracked black cracks. I finally knew that except for the passage we came in, it was blocked with dragon stones, and the black ones below were all water, and the stones fell and plopped, and then splashed one after another.

And the altar under our feet is like a figure of independence in the smoke and rain, and now we can only hope that nothing will fall above our heads, after all, we have no other choice but to grasp this altar.

Thundered~

The water is churning and bustling. We followed the altar into the water, and the speed of our descent was so fast that if we hadn't clung to it, we would have been thrown out by now.

Although he was ready to choke on water, he was still choked and almost carried back.

We carefully dodged the falling rocks in the water and swam towards the shore.

Fortunately, this waterhole is only deep and not very wide, only a little larger than the altar.

I lay on my stomach at the water's edge and spat out the water that I had choked on, and then looked for a way out. The altar is completely submerged, and I thought that the way out might be underwater, but the water is too deep, and we will definitely die from lack of ventilation if we go in like this. So another way out had to be found.

The sound fell silent, and the entire altar turned into rubble and fell into the pool. I could only smash my mouth when I looked at this smooth stone wall that was nearly twenty meters high, not to mention that it was impossible to go back the way we came, and now even if we could pass through the swamp of the Gate of Illusion, we would not be able to climb up.

"Do you know how to get out?" I asked, looking at the Jianhanyi, who had recovered a little.

"I don't know." She shook her head and looked around as I did.

Well, now it seems that the only way to go is through the water, but the altar is already submerged in the water, and the whole altar is buried, so we are afraid that we will not be able to enter it at all.

"Look!" Jian Hanyi pointed to the water and said.

We looked at the water in amazement, and a huge whirlpool appeared there, and I was overjoyed, which meant that the water was going to recede, and we could leave. After some discussion, we stumbled down the slippery stones.

"We're going to follow the ebb tide, we're sure we'll find the underground river, and we'll get out of here." Brother Neng is full of energy, as long as we go out, we can go to save Mi Ye.

We just sat on the shore and waited for the tide to go down.

But the whirlpool was getting bigger and bigger, but the water was not decreasing, and I began to get a little nervous. The little gluttony was so frightened that he lay on the ground and didn't move.

"No, let's get out of here and hide." I suddenly understood why, it was either the wind, or the sewers, or the animals that could make the water swirl, and there was no wind here, and there was no less water, and that was the work of that horrible creature.

I think of the green anaconda trapped in the ghost hall, now there must be a more powerful existence than that one, just look at the little gluttony, when it was so small that it dared to provoke the green anaconda, and now it is hiding behind me and shivering.

I pulled out the dagger and slashed my palm to suck my blood, and what we were facing was certainly not easy.

Jian Hanyi and Brother Neng also took out their respective weapons and carefully guarded the water.

This guy must be a higher existence than Xiao Glutton, and the huge whirlpool on the water surface also shows that this is a big guy.

The atmosphere felt tense for a while.

"I think of the green anaconda that worked hard for the big water snake, and the guy here is definitely not simple." Brother Neng whispered.

I nodded, and then stared intently at the whirlpool.

"What's that white?" Jian Hanyi pointed to a white thing in the water on the shore.

My heart chuckled, the thing moved rapidly along the water's edge, and I looked at the whirlpool, remembering what my grandfather said about the dragon when I was a child. Jiao looks like a dragon, but the horns are very short, or even absent. Jiao's neck has a white pattern, and there is a blue pattern on the back, the chest is ochre, and the limbs of the body are like brocade forging. It has four legs, and the front end is like a very wide paddle for paddling, and there are hard fleshy spines on the tip of the tail, and there are protruding pieces of flesh on the upper eyebrows of the eyes, so it is called "Jiao". I suspect it's a Jiao in the water.

It happily swam in the water with its head tilted up, stirring up a huge whirlpool.

"It's Jiao."

"It's Jiao."

Jian Hanyi and I spoke at the same time, it seems that everyone can see that Chenghuang is not afraid of snakes, but Jiao has already evolved once, and it is said that if it experiences another catastrophe, it can turn into a dragon.

The situation has become a little uncontrollable, let alone kill this little guy in our hands, I'm afraid it would be good to hurt it. Last time, we forced the green anaconda back by hitting it like a bullet, and we couldn't kill it in the end. Now that we have a short hand, we are a little discouraged for a while against an opponent who is stronger than last time.

"What to do? I heard that Jiao likes to swallow people. Brother Neng said.

"Don't scare yourself, there is a story of Liu Yiqing's "New Words of the World" of the Southern Song Dynasty and the story of Zhou Shi entering the water for three days and three nights and returning from the water, we may not necessarily lose to this guy." I said. At that time, how good could the weapons of people be, anyway, it was man-made.

"I agree." Jian Hanyi said.

"I'm just talking about this guy's danger, who said I'm scared." Brother Neng danced and said, the bronze Yue in his hand.

I know he didn't mean that, but now we can't have the slightest fear, because fear will lose.

The Jiao was swimming around in the water, and seemed to be very happy. But as the speed slowed down, the whirlpool slowly dissipated. It looks like it's going ashore.

Soon it climbed out of the pool, indeed the same as my grandfather described to me, its body is not very large, about three meters five, like a huge four-legged snake, but obviously the patterns on the body are more dazzling.

Moo moo moo~

It screamed, and the sound was like that of a cow.

And sure enough, it crawled towards us, its movements were very agile, and the four legs were very useful, and our three weapons were aimed at it, ready to deliver a fatal blow at the first opportunity.

Ten meters

Five meters

The two gems on the snake knife in my hand shone with blood-colored light, as if they were waiting for me to stab out and bite the turned creature fiercely
