96. The Great Snake of Yaki is coming
When I heard it, wasn't that still talking about Airi? I quickly denied it. "It's not. We are all tourists from Dewa, and there is no Terran princess, and there is no queen of the sea god. ”
After listening to the translation, several people showed quite disappointed eyes. So I couldn't help but ask one more question: "Elder, what does the High Priest want you to ask us?" And how can we help you? ”
The elder who asked me just now hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "The high priest divined yesterday, and prophesied that great things would happen, and only guests from afar in the mountains could resolve them. That's why we're here to ask for a solution. ”
After listening to the translation, several of us looked at each other. When the other elders saw that we had not spoken for a long time, they muttered a lot of words to the elder just now.
I asked the islanders, who were acting as interpreters, "What did the elders say?" ”
The islander's face was quite embarrassed, and after looking at several elders, he said in a hesitant manner: "The high priest didn't have such a discussion, but the elder just decided to come and ask for advice. As a result, he was rebuked by several other elders, saying that God's will was unpredictable. ”
Then Airi said, "Tell them that we are all mortals, and we have no ability to predict, and we don't know what will happen, so we can't come up with any way to solve it. The elders were also asked to study the events that had taken place on the island over the millennia. In the case of storms, surges, tidal waves, etc., residents living in low-lying areas can be temporarily evacuated to higher places. Or you can take a break from it. ”
When several elders heard this, they thanked them and left.
The princess is still a princess in the end, and she can still say something at critical moments. This has given Airi a slight increase in my rating.
Walking into the castle, I took off my coat and walked through the atrium to the huge window, looking out at the calm sea in the distance.
Everyone slowly gathered behind me. "Nezha-kun." Shinichi shouted.
"You all know the story of Susanoo's killing of Yaki Orochi, right?" I asked.
"Every Izumo knows this story." Ryunosuke replied.
"Two thousand years later, every Dongying person knows it." Shinichi replied.
"So good!" I turned around and said, "Tell me!" ”
So we sat down on the floor in the middle of the atrium. Ryunosuke began to speak, and Ren and Kokozakura added. After that, Shinichi told another version. But the main content is much the same. It's all about Susanoo asking his future father-in-law to brew eight jars of spirits, and after getting the Yaki Orochi drunk, he took the opportunity to kill him.
In short, it's outwitting rather than relying on strength, right? Even with the Heavenly Feather Feather Slashing Sword in his hand, Susanoo does not have the strength to single-handedly take on Yuan Lu Zhi.
However, after a thousand years, in the face of the descendants of the Yaqi Orochi, where will we have such an opportunity?
In the evening, we walked out of the castle again, only to find that there were many new tents on the nearby hillside. Between some tents, bonfires are being lit.
In the middle of the night, the wind and rain suddenly rose. With the sound of the waves crashing against the cliff walls, the raindrops that drifted through the castle windows even flew through the atrium into my house.
I got up in a convulsion, put on my coat and groped my way out of the room, and through the dark atrium, I saw the breaking waves rising from time to time beyond the dimly lit window.
I spread out my spiritual sense, and there was only a chaotic stream of water on the slopes, beaches, and seas within a thousand feet, and there was no special light or shadow except for my companions in the castle.
I suddenly had a very ominous premonition, and I felt a boundless fear, and I quickly groped my way back into the house and got back into the bed. It's not warm inside, but I can't help but shiver at the thought that after today, I might never have the opportunity to enjoy it again.
Nezha! I secretly called my name. How can this be? If I was destined to die here, why not enjoy this only time?
I fell asleep again until I woke up again. But he found that the light and shadow of three companions were missing from his spiritual sense.
Confused, I got up, put on my coat, and rushed out of the room. I saw that there were many more islanders in the atrium outside. And it's still pouring in from outside the castle. Most of them are elderly, weak, women and children.
I squeezed into the crowd and was confronted by Shinichi, who was maintaining order. "Seventh Princess, and Ryunosuke, where did they go?"
"Nezha-kun, the sea water is soaring in the early morning. The Seven Princesses went to the Dragon Hall early in the morning. Ryunosuke and Ren received a request for help from the villagers and went to the village below. Before leaving, they instructed Nezha Jun to stay and protect the princess. ”
They arranged for me to stay behind to protect Airi? How can this be true?
I looked at Airi, Kokoko, and Aoi in the crowd. They may be right, they do need someone to guard them.
I looked out of the window on the upper floor of the castle. Under the clouds, between the two mountains is already a Ze country. The original coastline and harbor are long gone. The original island of Sado has now been divided into two rows of isolated peaks in the ocean.
I flew out of the window. The tidal flats outside the cliff have been reduced to less than 100 feet. From time to time, the water swept the light and shadow of the spiritual power of large and small water tribes. Halfway up the hill to the water's edge, there was a crowd of people. The surging waters were eerily dark, and there was an smell of rotting corpses.
But, where is Ao Zhen? She's not going to leave us alone, is she?
In the midst of his thoughts, he suddenly saw a light figure flying out of the sea in the distance, and quickly flew towards the castle.
Ao Zhen? I quickly turned around and flew back.
In the atrium, where Ao Zhen stood, there was already a large trace of water.
"Ao Zhen, how's the situation?" I asked.
"The hall has been destroyed. The stewards have been taken captive, and most of the water tribes have been separated. She looked at the crowd, "What about Ryunosuke and Ren?" ”
"Seventh Princess," replied Shin Sakura, "after the princess left, the village below came to ask for help. Ryunosuke: They're going there! ”
"What are they going to do there? Didn't I tell them not to leave Princess Arry? Ao Zhen shouted. She turned and went into the house, and when she came out, she had changed into a pink suit of tight armor.
"Nezha," Ao Zhen said to me, "go and get them both back." Don't let them out again! ”
"Ao Zhen, where are you going?" I grabbed her hand.
She gently removed my hand, "I need to find the steward and ask for help from the Whale Sea Dragon Palace." Rest assured, I'll be back! With that, she got up and flew out the window.
I flew out as well.
"Nezha!" Airi and Shinichi shouted from behind.
"I've got to go find your Ryunosuke and Ren!"
Ao Zhen and I flew in two different directions. She flew into the sea, and I flew behind the mountain.
In my spiritual sense, there is only the messy light and shadow of various water tribes in the chaotic current. But there is no trace of Ryunosuke and Ren. Before the raging tides flooded, the area that my spiritual sense could cover was really only a very small area.
Slowly, a cloud of light and shadow entrenched in the water entered my spiritual consciousness. The head and tail are bifurcated, with eight places each. Yaki Orochi?
But this Yaqi big snake is only more than ten zhang long, which is comparable to Ao Zhen's dragon body, not very big, and even smaller than the young snake seen in the sea at the time. Since that one didn't dare to challenge Ao Zhen at that time, the combat power of this one would not be very strong.
I didn't pay attention to him because I had more urgent things to do. I continued to fly along the foot of the mountain, and finally found the light and shadow of the two in a col. When I flew over, I saw Ryunosuke and Ren lying on stretchers, carried by a team of islanders.
I fell to them. "What did you encounter?"
Lian replied with difficulty: "We met two big snakes......"
I probe their injuries. Both of them had multiple fractures in their limbs, and they were completely incapacitated and unable to walk.
"Nezha-kun, leave us alone. Go back and protect the princess! Ryunosuke said.
"Don't talk!" I whispered. He then let go of Chaos and wrapped them around on a stretcher. Pick up the red silk in one hand and take off again.
It was the first time I had flown more than ten miles with a weight more than three and a half times my own, and it was very difficult. By the time I got back to the castle, my mana had been depleted. On the way, two large serpent lights and shadows entered my spiritual consciousness again, and I had no time to care about them.
When I flew in through the window with two men, it immediately caused a commotion in the atrium. I let go of Aya Chaotian and placed the two of them on the ground. Airi, Kokokoro, Aoi and Shinichi all rushed over at once.
Kokoro and Aoi cried at that time. Airi turned her face away, not wanting me to see her cry.
I didn't have time to take care of them, so I went back to my room alone to find the elixir that Kumi Hara had left for me to recover my mana as soon as possible.
As soon as I turned around and was about to go out, I saw three islanders standing outside the door. They are all village elders I saw yesterday.
