Chapter 167
He thought of the white dragon who had fled just now, as well as the angry and relentless pursuit of the ancient dragon king, and he had a trace of understanding in his heart.
"This ......" Lin Mengdie looked at the scene in front of her, her tone was full of incredulity, "How can this be ......?"
What they saw in front of them was very different from what the two had guessed, they saw the powerful Ancient Dragon King flying out of the chasm, seeing the elite soldiers and strong generals flying out of the chasm, and the palace in front of them was full of devastation, flames were rushing above the pavilion, thick smoke was billowing out, and some water tribes were trying to extinguish the fire......
This is simply an undefended palace, Jiang Yan thought to himself, it is too far from the extreme danger he imagined.
"This ......" Lin Mengdie hesitated and said, "This is an opportunity, we seem to be able to swagger in." ”
"That guy is still there," Jiang Yan said, he saw the puffer fish standing in front, and he was also sticking out his head to look down, his eyes were full of shock and horror, it seemed that he didn't know what was going on, Jiang Yan thought secretly, and then he rushed up, "Pufferfish, come here!" ”
The puffer fish was taken aback, and it turned to escape, its tail desperately hitting the water, and the only remaining fin waved up and down.
Jiang Yan said coldly: "I don't want another fin anymore?" ”
Fugu's movements stopped, he turned around and smiled: "No, I'm just, well, according to the agreement, it's time for me to leave." ”
"It's not time yet," Lin Mengdie walked over, "Take us down for a walk, what the hell is going on?" ”
"That's not right," Fugu opened her mouth and tried to argue, "As agreed, I'll bring you here, and then I can leave ......"
"I said you can't," Lin Mengdie said coldly, "We treat the captives too favorably, and we even allow the captives to bargain, well, I'm hungry." ”
The expression on Fugu's face seemed to be crying, and it seemed like he was angry, and his body began to swell again, but when he saw Jiang Yan feel out the dagger, he had to retract back to the prototype.
"Well," he said, "I can take you down, but if it's dangerous......"
"We won't let you die," Lin Mengdie said coldly, "Lead the way." ”
So they entered the chasm and descended to the tower bridge below, and in the process, Jiang Yan saw Hualong Pass.
He saw the flames swimming like behemoths, the thunder looming, and the shrunken green poisonous gases, which seemed to be the so-called miasma...... Jiang Yan thought that he still wanted to take this path just now, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.
"I believe it," he told Lin Mengdie, sneaking in from here, I might die. ”
"Definitely die," Lin Mengdie replied to him, she only glanced at Hualongguan, her gaze did not linger at any extra point, she had seen an existence ten thousand times larger than this. She pointed to the collapsed palace in the distance and asked the pufferfish, "What's going on?" ”
"When the king usually sleeps," said the pufferfish, "sometimes he rolls over and rolls, plays tricks, and destroys the pavilion if he is not careful, but it is ......."
He looked into the distance, "Unless there are more than a dozen kings rolling over and rolling together, playing with supernatural powers, there will never be such a scene......"
"Don't play tricks," Lin Mengdie said, "what the hell is going on?" Where did the white dragon come from? ”
"I don't know," Fugu said, shaking his head, "When I went out, it was still peaceful, but I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince fell into the Dragon Pass, but was saved by a woman in white......"
"The woman in white?" Jiang Yan and Lin Mengdie glanced at each other and said in unison.
Woman in white, what kind of woman in white? Could it be her? For a moment, both of them thought of the woman in white who had hunted and killed the Red Snake King......
"And then?" Jiang Yan asked.
"I don't know, I'll leave." Fugu shook his head, and then, he looked at the palace that was getting closer and closer below, and said in a nervous voice, "It's time to reach the airspace, there is no water below, you can only walk on the bridge, there are people guarding the tower, do you want to ...... Hide? ”
Jiang Yan looked down, and he saw that the bridge went straight to his feet, and the tall tower stood at the head of the bridge.
"I don't think so," Jiang Yan said, "I don't believe there are still people guarding the tower." ”
Indeed, the tower was burning, flames soaring and raging at the top of the tower, thick black smoke rising into the sky.
"Uh......" Fugu nodded a little awkwardly, "I think so." ”
So they swaggered down, no one asked, no one stopped, no one checked.
For a moment, Jiang Yan even thought he was dreaming.
How so? He asked himself in his heart, just came in like this? It's that simple?
It's a bit too bizarre, isn't it? He saw with his own eyes that the Ancient Dragon King had left with a group of his men to hunt down the huge white dragon from the Yangtze River, leaving an undefended palace for them.
"Attention," Fugu reminded, "is about to enter the airspace." ”
The tower bridge is right in front of you, right at your feet, and you can stand on it if you take a step.
Jiang Yan hesitated slightly, and then he naturally walked up to the tower bridge, and in an instant, he only felt that his body was much heavier, and the buoyancy that had been holding his body disappeared, and he came out of the water, and this was the airspace.
Lin Mengdie walked up, stepped on the tower bridge under her feet, and didn't say anything.
Midori stopped behind, a look of fear on his face, he had never left the water, and he knew that a fish would die if it left the water.
It can be said that for Jiang Yan, this is just an ordinary small step, but for Xiao Lu, this is really a big step for Yusheng.
"Don't be afraid," Jiang Yan comforted him, "come up boldly, you won't die." ”
Midori nodded, and the next moment, he slapped the undercurrent with his fins, and rushed towards the Tower Bridge with his whole body.
"Bang!"
The moment he entered the airspace, Midori smashed directly on the Tower Bridge, and he also tried to wave his fins to stand up, but there was no water here, and of course he couldn't swim.
"Like me," Fugu told him, "with fins and body on the ground, you won't get used to it at first, but gradually you'll get used to it." ”
Midori glanced at him, then clumsily flicked his fins, and he stood up, his fat vibrating, and he tried to keep his balance, but the next moment he fell.
"Take your time," Jiang Yan said, "and there's no hurry." ”
In fact, he was so anxious, he knew that some kind of great opportunity was right in front of him, he had to loot the treasure house of the ancient dragon king before the ancient dragon king and those elite soldiers returned, and snatch all the treasures inside, time was precious, and it was really not to be wasted.
Midori also seems to know that the situation is urgent, at least he knows that he is an unwelcome intruder, and when he is a thief, he should steal things quickly, and he learns to walk in people's houses without sleeping.
"No, I'll carry you," Jiang Yan said with a smile, "Anyway, you've been carrying me for so long." ”
He tried to ease the anxiety in his heart with a joke, but it didn't work, and he turned his head to look at the chasm outside, worried that the Ancient Dragon King would suddenly return.
Midori struggled to get up and fell again, he was silent, but there was an anxious look on his face, and he felt that he was dragging his feet.
"No," said the pufferfish, "you can walk differently, crawling, yes, crawling with the wriggling of your fins and body, crawling like a bug, that's how everybody was at first." ”
Midori looked at him, as if trying to see through the truth of his words from his face.
He propped up the ground of the tower bridge with his fins, and squirmed twice on the ground with his body, his muscles trembling slightly, and in this trembling, he climbed forward a few meters.
So they continued to walk until they reached the bottom of the tower, and the puffer fish looked at the burning top of the tower, and there was a look of surprise on his face: "If they fight in the palace, how can this tower burn?" If they fight on a tower, it burns, but it falls. ”
Jiang Yan had no objection to this, he had seen the huge bodies of the White Dragon and the Ancient Dragon King not long ago, if they fought, this tall tower really couldn't help but toss.
"This tower is slanted," Although he was very anxious and couldn't wait to rush to the ancient dragon king's treasure house, however, when Jiang Yan noticed the tilt of the tower, he couldn't help but be taken aback, "Won't it collapse?" ”
"It's a special craft," says the pufferfish, "which has a long history and is difficult to trace back to the source." ”
Jiang Yan frowned, this answer was unclear, not the answer he wanted to hear.
"Let's go," Lin Mengdie urged, "There's no time to delay." ”
"How did you drain the water and create such an airspace underwater?" As they continued to walk on, stepping on the dry road of the Tower Bridge, Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel curious, he really enjoyed the dry air, for him, walking on land was really a wonderful thing compared to swimming in the water.
"It's ......" There was a puzzled look on Fugu's face, and it was clear that he didn't know much about the issue, but he tried to explain.
"It's just a formation," Lin Mengdie said impatiently, "In my hometown, don't say draining the water, it's not difficult to turn the sky into the sea, you will understand in the future, now let's go quickly." ”
Turn the sky into the sea...... Jiang Yan's mouth opened wide, he really couldn't imagine how the sky could turn into the sea.
They crossed Tower Bridge, and at the end of the road, they were met by a panicked crowd of people fighting fires, everyone shouting.
Someone recognized the pufferfish, and also saw Jiang Yan and Lin Mengdie, and in an instant, the aquatic tribes quieted down, and all their eyes were attracted by Jiang Yan and Lin Mengdie.
"Two humans," said one of the aquarists, this is a huge lobster, damn it, Jiang Yan thought to himself, he didn't expect to see a lobster here, his claws haven't broken yet, "What's going on, Lord Fugu?" ”
"It's none of your business," Fugu hesitated for a moment, Jiang Yan guessed that he was thinking, whether to beckon these water tribes to rush up and take him down, obviously, the result of his thinking was no, "You guys continue to be busy." ”
Jiang Yan wanted him to find a water tribe and ask what was going on, but it was a waste of time, and now, for them, nothing was more important than touching the treasure house of the ancient dragon king.
They walked through the wreckage of a pavilion, and a group of water tribes stepped forward and stared at Jiang Yan with unkind eyes, but they were also drunk back by the puffer fish.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel incredulous, was this true? He asked himself, I entered the palace of the peak master of the water control realm, not long ago I killed one of his right-hand men in front of him, and now I ran to his palace, ready to loot his treasure house, but I was so swaggering, if there was no one around?
He shook his head, as if trying to get the unreal feeling out of his mind, but the unreal feeling was so heavy that his head was dizzy.
No, it's not that it feels so heavy that my head gets dizzy, he told himself, it's that I'm too tired......
The sleepiness that was contained by Lin Mengdie not long ago came to his heart again at this moment, and Jiang Yan's figure shook a little.
"Alert," Lin Mengdie pinched his back, it was a key acupuncture point, and her technique was also very peculiar, in short, after being pinched by her, Jiang Yan felt a heart-piercing pain, and her sleepiness suddenly weakened slightly, she said, "It's not safe here." ”
She was right, and in the midst of a broken wall, they met the wounded guards, two large red carp gathered together, and were medicating each other's wounds.
The puffer fish wanted to avoid them, but it was too late, the two guards had just escaped from the battle of life and death, and their nerves were still tense at the moment, and they had not relaxed, so they immediately discovered Jiang Yan and his party.
"Who?" One of the guards stepped forward with a sword, and it was a huge red broadsword, and with the red scales of his carp, it seemed to be very interesting.
"It's me," said the pufferfish, "that I've come to see Your Majesty." ”
"Fugu-sama," another guard stepped up, spear in his hand, "what's the matter with these two guys?" How did they get in without His Majesty's orders? ”
"I brought them in, they are my captives," said the pufferfish, "and now I will take them to the king." ”
"Captive?" A carp said suspiciously, he approached Jiang Yan and Lin Mengdie, as well as Xiao Lu, "Why don't you feel like it?" ”
Suddenly, the guard pinched his spear and stabbed Midori in the neck.
Jiang Yan stretched out his hand, grabbed the spear violently, and then pulled it hard, and the spear was snatched into his hand.
Jiang Yan turned the tip of the spear, the guard screamed, and was about to retreat, Jiang Yan chased two steps, stabbed the spear forward, and pierced the guard's heart, the tip of the spear came out of the fish's belly, and the guard struggled twice, and his belly died.
"You ......"
Another guard came with a sword to kill, and suddenly saw that his companion was dead, and the death was extremely clean, but he turned around and wanted to escape, but he was already chased by Jiang Yan, and reached out to grab the fin, the guard turned around and slashed out a sword, Jiang Yan reached out and grabbed the sword, and slashed down hard, the guard's stomach was cut open, and the fish's intestines flowed all over the ground.
After doing all this, Jiang Yan pinched the broadsword in his hand and weighed it gently, he felt that this sword was very handy and could be borrowed.
"Very good," Lin Mengdie walked over and commented softly, "I don't look like a girl anymore." ”
"If I don't kill him," Jiang Yan shook his head, "Xiao Lu is already dead." ”
"Hurry up," said the puffer fish anxiously, "and if you are seen, there will be a big mess." ”
So they left and continued in the direction of the Ancient Dragon King's treasure house.
In the distance, Jiang Yan saw Baoguang rising into the sky.
"This is the place," Fugu led them to the octagonal glazed well, pointed to the mouth of the well and told them, "Go down to the treasure house of the ancient dragon king." ”
"Just get in?" Jiang Yanhu asked suspiciously, "Don't need a key or something?" ”
"No," Fugu said, in an eager tone, "you can go in directly, you don't have to wait any longer, go in quickly." ”
"You want to kill us," Lin Mengdie said coldly, "There is a formation on this treasure house, if we rush in, we will be shot to death." ”
"How so?" Fugu had a stunned look on his face, "I have a ban on me, how dare I?" ”
Jiang Yan suddenly took two quick steps and rushed to the pufferfish, this time it was very sudden, but the puffer fish seemed to have been prepared, his body suddenly expanded, like a bulging ball, and the spikes on it pierced Jiang Yan fiercely.
Jiang Yan raised the broadsword and slapped it heavily towards the head of the pufferfish, the puffer fish dodged to the side, Jiang Yan saw through his intentions with the eyes of martial arts, and swung the sword first, the puffer fish flashed to the side, just hit the blade of the sword, and the bulging body swirled and shriveled.
The puffer fish took the opportunity to escape, Jiang Yan chased after him, and another sword slapped down, the pufferfish's head was patted, his eyes were confused, the fins slapped indiscriminately, Jiang Yan slapped again, and the puffer fish completely smashed to the ground, and he didn't struggle anymore.
But he was still alive, Jiang Yan walked up to him, hung the blade of the broadsword beside him, and said to him, "What's the matter with you?" ”
"It's you who didn't keep your word first," Fugu said hatefully, "I could have left, but you had to ask me to lead the way, but now it's okay, when you're gone, His Majesty the Ancient Dragon King knows that I brought you in, and you must hunt me down to every corner of the Great River Valley!" ”
"We promised to let you go," Lin Mengdie stepped forward and said to him, "It's because it's too dangerous here, and it's understandable that you want to leave, but now that it's safe here, you should stay, otherwise it's not too cheap for you?" ”
"You don't keep your word!" Fugu shouted, ignoring the blade of the sword beside his neck.
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Yan said, "How can we open this treasure house? ”
"I won't say it," said Fugu angrily, "I've been killed by you anyway, so it's better for you to kill me now." ”
"We can ask others," Jiang Yan frowned, and said, "This is a chance to give you a chance to live." ”
"Ask someone?" Fugu sneered, "No one will tell you that you would rather be killed by you than thrown into that damn cellar, dark and damp, and finally have to climb the bridge of death and kill yourself......"
Jiang Yan frowned, he didn't know what the specific situation of the cellar was, but he could guess that it should be the place where the Ancient Dragon King specially used to abuse prisoners.
"Since you're not afraid of death," Lin Mengdie said, "why did you surrender in the first place?" ”
"I want to bring you in, and then tell His Majesty the Ancient Dragon King loudly that you are going to steal his spirit grass."
"You're not afraid of being made into soup?" Jiang Yan asked.
"Of course I'm afraid, it's just that I'm more afraid of the cellar, not to mention, His Majesty the Ancient Dragon King will protect me."
"It's a pity," Lin Mengdie said, "As soon as the door opened, you were surprised to find that your beloved Lord Gu Dragon King had left, and there was no one to protect you, and no one could help you kill us, right?" ”
Fugu was silent.
"So," Jiang Yan said, "you want to use the formation to kill us?" Stupid pig, are we so careless that we will be deceived by you? ”
"Hmph," Fugu snorted, "I'm just trying, I'm done with calves anyway, so I might as well see if I can make up for it." ”
"Those two carps just now," Lin Mengdie said, "you also deliberately went to find them?" ”
"Yes," the puffer fish looked like he was not afraid of death, "two fools, I motioned with my eyes for them to do it together, first to kill the man and then the woman, but they had to kill the fish first, two stupid pigs." ”
Jiang Yan and Lin Mengdie glanced at each other, just now they felt that something was wrong, the timing of the two carp's shots was too weird.
"Kill me," said the pufferfish, "just like killing those two stupid pigs." ”
"No," Jiang Yan suddenly laughed, "I won't kill you, I'll leave you behind and let the big crocodile throw you into the cellar." ”
"You ......" There was a look of fear on Fugu's face, "I can kill myself and kill myself!" ”
"Maybe it's another way," Jiang Yan said, "You really help me, this is the case, I'll take you back to another place, in short, to help you save your life from the ancient dragon king's hands, what do you think?" ”
The puffer fish originally had his eyes closed tightly, and his face showed an indifferent expression, however, after hearing this, he immediately opened his eyes and stared at Jiang Yan deadly.
"You're lying to me," he said, "you two don't talk about credit." ”
"That's because you've been lying to us," Lin Mengdie said, "You think we don't know?" When the door opens, your heart is written on your face! ”
When the puffer fish heard this, they immediately showed a stupid look.
"If we let you go," Lin Mengdie said, "I guess you'll catch up with that big crocodile, or any of the guards, right away?" ”
Fugu was silent, this was what he really thought in his heart, and he couldn't argue.
"In that case," Lin Mengdie said, "if we still let you go, then we are not honest and trustworthy, but fools." ”
"We're not stupid," Jiang Yan pressed the blade of his broadsword to the pufferfish's cheek, "so we really give you advice, help us, and then we'll help you escape from here." ”
The puffer fish stared at his eyes, then at Lin Mengdie, and finally at Xiao Lu, who lay on the ground and rubbed Jiang Yan's pants with his head.
"Is the silver carp delicious," the puffer fish said suddenly, "or is the puffer fish delicious?" ”
"Maybe we don't like fish." Jiang Yan said, then he looked at Lin Mengdie, and then both of them smiled.
Little crocodile
He felt the pain of the scorching sun coming from every inch of his body, no, not skin, it was hard armor, and he felt like his hard armor was about to melt.
I hate flames, little crocodile thought, flames are disgusting things.
Not long ago, when he shoved the card into the hole in the hub, the hub erupted with a blinding golden light, and then he heard a rumbling sound, and the sky dome opened, and he knew.
He heard his father's angry voice, which sounded above the palace:
"Why did you open the door?"
