Chapter 178
She thought of what she felt, Jiang Yan's throat suddenly bulged, and then quickly sunken down, it should be that, Lin Mengdie thought secretly, the energy was lost, damn it......
"Eaten for nothing?" Jiang Yan was stunned, "It shouldn't be, right?" I've eaten them all? Can it still leak? ”
He really didn't want to believe this statement, the elixir that he had finally found, after eating it, the energy was lost like this? The point is, I fucking ate it!
"I'm really convinced of you!" Lin Mengdie said angrily, "It's just an elixir, is it that difficult?" Vomit and vomit, now it's okay, it's all over! ”
"I didn't mean to!" Jiang Yan was also very annoyed, he knew that it was his own problem, but he couldn't help but argue, "Those elixirs are too unpalatable, they shouldn't be eaten raw!" I suddenly thought of the appearance of the three-leaf spider legs, and then my mind was lost! ”
"Anyway," Lin Mengdie said, "now we're finished!" The spirit grass that was finally found, there is still a sound when it falls into the water, and now? It's all gone! ”
Jiang Yan was silent, no matter what, he had to admit that what Lin Mengdie said made sense, oh my God, he couldn't help but think, this is the end? I've been looking for the spirit grass for so long, and I finally got it, but it's gone?
"I don't believe it," Jiang Yan said, and the next moment he clenched his fists, "I'm going to give it a try." ”
"How are you going to try?" Lin Mengdie's voice was a little weak, she really felt worried.
"How can I try it?" Jiang Yan clenched his fists and asked, he wanted to swing his fist and bombard something to see if the power increased.
"The easiest way is," Lin Mengdie said, "close your eyes and imagine your body, and the spiritual power will automatically describe the situation in your body for you, and you can see it at a glance." ”
So Jiang Yan closed his eyes, just like just now, he constructed a transparent humanoid in his mind, he felt the leap of spiritual power, and the next moment, the transparent humanoid appeared in front of him.
"Take a look," Lin Mengdie said, "Is there any light on your body?" It is a symbol of energy, and the light cluster is so bright that you can see it at a glance. ”
No, Jiang Yan told himself that there was no light cluster, and what he saw in front of him was a dim transparent human figure, and he only saw some faint light, shining on his arms and thighs, and gradually dimmed.
Jiang Yan opened his eyes and told Lin Mengdie what he saw.
"It's gone," Lin Mengdie said a little weakly, "The faint light you saw was the energy you channeled out before, and after that, all the energy was lost because of the 'bursting embankment'." ”
The facts were in front of him, Jiang Yan couldn't help but be silent, he felt a trance, how could this be? He asked himself that all this was too unreal.
A sudden anger suddenly appeared in his heart, but the target was himself, yes, he really wanted to punch himself and beat him up, what the hell am I doing? He asked himself, what disgusting, what modern human soul, can't I just endure it?
When he set up the Tai Chi boxing shelf, he really made up his mind in his heart that as long as he digested the elixir, he would immediately rush out to save Jiang Xingruo.
Now, however, that goal seems to be extremely elusive......
Not only that, if he can't improve his strength, then he doesn't have the qualifications to go ashore, he can only hide in the water, and the ancient desolate god source is about to turn into a Dao......
Plus, it won't be long before the big crocodile returns, and he will definitely find out that his treasury has been looted, and then what will he do? God, Jiang Yan couldn't think about it, he didn't have the strength to fight against the big crocodile......
It was as if he had seen a great darkness, horrible and devouring, hidden in the corners of fate, and at this moment finally bared its sharp fangs, and pounced on him and everyone.
For a moment, the treasure house was silent, neither of them spoke anymore, even Xiao Midori was quiet, he seemed to see the darkness that enveloped everything, and was so frightened that he was silent.
"Maybe there's something else," Jiang Yan spoke, he knew that he had to do something at this time, he was not one to sit still, he believed that in this treasure house, there must be other things that could improve his strength, "Let's look for it again." ”
"Maybe there are other broken copper and iron," Lin Mengdie said, "but there will be no more things that can help you improve your strength, you have never cultivated, except for spirit grass, there is nothing that can help you." ”
"Maybe it can help you," Jiang Yan said, he began to rummage through the cabinets, extremely fast, and at the same time very cautious, he was guarding against the presence of scorpions, "maybe there is something that can help you regain your strength." ”
"Now you're in a hurry?" Lin Mengdie looked at him and said with a hint of amusement, "What did you say just now?" I'd rather die! Now know that things are not so easy? ”
"I'm sorry," Jiang Yan knew that he had to take responsibility, the elixir had been ruined, his efforts had been wasted, he had made great contributions to these things, he couldn't avoid it, he had to face it, "I don't want to die, besides, I still have a lot of things to do." ”
"It's good that you can think like this," Lin Mengdie also joined the ranks of rummaging through the cabinets, "However, there is little hope." ”
She was right, there was little hope like looking for a needle in a haystack, and then they emptied the sea, only to find that the needle didn't exist at all.
They opened all the drawers, rummaged through all the cabinets, the treasures accumulated by the kings of the Great River Basin for generations were turned upside down by them, and many precious treasures were thrown on the ground at will, when the last drawer was opened, Lin Mengdie glanced at the things inside, and after making a "useless" evaluation, Jiang Yan sat on the ground.
He had already guessed this result, but many things in the world, even if he had already guessed it, it was not easy to face it.
"Hoo ......" Lin Mengdie exhaled, she seemed to be very tired, she sat down beside him, and the two were very close.
"We have to escape," Jiang Yan said, "instead of sitting here." ”
"Run away now?" Lin Mengdie asked.
"Run away now." Jiang Yan replied.
"Then why did you sit down?" Lin Mengdie asked again, and then replied to herself, "Because you don't want to escape, you don't know where to escape." ”
Jiang Yan was silent, what Lin Mengdie said was very reasonable, he didn't know where to flee, he couldn't see the way forward, all of this was what prompted him to sit down.
Leaving this palace while the big crocodile has not returned, this is a good choice, and maybe it can really take advantage of this to survive, but after that?
They can't go ashore, they have to stay in the water, the aquarium will find them, and then the big crocodiles will chase them.
The most important thing is that the source of the ancient desolate gods is about to turn into a Tao, and the rules of heaven and earth will roll down, according to Lin Mengdie, that scene is quite huge, enough to attract the attention of a radius of more than ten miles.
That's good, Jiang Yan thought to himself, it was equivalent to holding a loudspeaker and telling the big crocodile where I was.
So, where did you flee? It's more reassuring than the escape with no way forward, or the quiet, peaceful treasure trove in front of you, it's a good place to bury, isn't it?
They sit in a pile of treasures, which is the accumulation of thousands of years of kings in the great river basin, and they are buried with them after death, which is really considered to be a row of deaths. The environment of this place is also very good, cool and dry, suitable for long sleep, and there are beating colorful lights not far away, which is very bright...... Wait, the colorful light?
Jiang Yan suddenly turned his head and looked at the huge pool filled with colored liquid in the distance, and then he was shocked to realize that he had patronized the cabinets and forgot the splendid "swimming pool".
So he jumped up, pulled Lin Mengdie, shouted to Xiao Lu, and ran towards the huge pool.
"What's wrong?" Lin Mengdie asked him.
Jiang Yan wouldn't answer, he ran very fast, and grabbed Lin Mengdie's hand, Lin Mengdie had to run with him, and his face gradually had a touch of redness.
"Fragrant ......" Midori muttered as he squirmed awkwardly forward with his fins, his movements were cheerful, and he seemed to be eager to exploit the big pool.
"It's really fragrant," They came to the huge pool, in front of them was a sea of rainbows, colorful lights were entangled, the colored light liquid was like a wave turbulent, Jiang Yan was shocked by this scenery at the same time, and smelled a warm fragrance, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then exclaimed, "What kind of fragrance is this?" ”
Xiao Lu lay on the ground, he used his fins to cooperate with his body, squirming forward awkwardly, and soon reached the edge of the pool, and then, he put his head close to the pool, his mouth was close to the water, he seemed to want to suck a mouthful of colorful spiritual liquid, but his lips were just close to the water, and the spiritual liquid immediately flew up a little, splashing on the tip of his nose.
"Be careful!" Jiang Yan was taken aback, and couldn't help shouting at Xiao Lu, although this colorful liquid looked gorgeous and beautiful, but what the ingredient was, whether it was arsenic or elixir, no one knew, not to mention, it also took the initiative to splash on Xiao Lu's body.
However, when he gave a warning, the colorful spiritual fluid had already melted into Little Green's skin.
The next moment, an incredible scene appeared, the dreamy green light behind Xiao Lu suddenly skyrocketed at this moment, the light was dazzling, brilliant and dazzling, Jiang Yan had to squint his eyes, and soon the light dissipated again, and everything seemed to return to its original state.
No, not everything has returned to its original state, Jiang Yan told himself, he looked at Xiao Lu carefully, and his intuition told him that something had changed in Xiao Lu's body, and the colorful liquid had changed Xiao Lu.
What's changing? Jiang Yan thought about it, he glanced at Xiao Lu's body, but he didn't find any obvious changes, there were no horns on Xiao Lu's head, and there were no more dazzling patterns on his body.
"I'm warm in my body!" Suddenly, Xiao Lu shouted, his voice was unusually clear, without a trace of ambiguity, Jiang Yan and Lin Mengdie were keenly aware of this change, the two looked at each other, but Xiao Lu didn't realize it, he continued, "I feel that my body seems to be full of strength. ”
As he spoke, he supported the ground with his fins, which he had not been able to complete before, because his body was too large and heavy, and his fins were too weak, but at this moment, he easily propped himself up and took two steps by the way.
"It worked!" Midori took two steps, and then he shouted excitedly, the change in his body made him excited, he was like a child who had just learned to walk, and kept walking with his fins, "I did it!" ”
"What the hell is this colored liquid?" Jiang Yan looked at this scene and said in a deep voice, "It seems to have some kind of special effect that can make people more powerful?" ”
"I don't know," Lin Mengdie stared at the rainbow sea in front of her, and she really couldn't recognize what it was. In her hometown of Chunlanxing, Hai Lingshui, a heinous thing, has long disappeared without a trace, "Maybe it does have some effects, but you can't try it easily until you figure out what it is." ”
"That makes sense," Jiang Yan nodded yes, and then his tone changed, "But what should we do?" I mean, we should go to the tomes and figure out what this thing is, and then we can do it? Hopefully, the big crocodile will give us time. ”
"Maybe there will be danger," Lin Mengdie frowned, "Maybe it will only have an effect on the Water Tribe." ”
"Just give it a try and you'll know," Jiang Yan said, he stared at Hai Lingshui, his eyes burning, "This thing can make Xiao Lu smarter and more powerful, remember what you said, why is the spirit grass useful to me?" ”
"You haven't cultivated," Lin Mengdie said, "so there is no way to refine the elixir or anything else, the spirit grass will directly release its own energy, which is the energy you can absorb, and these energies will make you more powerful and make you more agile." ”
"Just like these colorful liquids," Jiang Yan said, staring at the colorful liquids with burning eyes, "I hope I can be like Xiao Lu." ”
He turned to face Da Chizi, Lin Mengdie grabbed him, he turned around, Lin Mengdie stared into his eyes, "This may be dangerous," she said, "We should be a little more cautious." ”
"We don't have time," Jiang Yan said, "I'll take my time, don't worry." ”
"It's hard for me not to worry," Lin Mengdie said, and it could be seen that she didn't believe Jiang Yan, "You just ruined the twelve spirit grasses, and the tragic experience tells me that it is very dangerous to let a person who has just stepped into the path of cultivation step out of his own way. ”
Jiang Yan ignored her, he squatted down, wanting to put his right hand into the pool, Lin Mengdie bent down and grabbed his arm.
Jiang Yan broke free, he turned to stretch out his left hand, Lin Mengdie still wanted to pull him, Jiang Yan suddenly turned his head to look at her, then he smiled, and then he jumped into the pool.
Little crocodile
He entered his father's medicine garden, and the painful memory came back to his mind again, the scorching heat of the summer afternoon was like a steamer from a pot, the whip in his father's hand was long and black, and the sharp hook barbs were all over it, and with a "boom", the air exploded, and the whip fell on him......
The little crocodile turned his gaze away from looking at anything around him, he didn't want to know that he was in his father's medicine garden, he wanted those painful memories to roll away.
But the scent of the surrounding trees, the swaying leaves of the coral algae, and the sound of the strangely shaped tall companion spirit grass in the distance kept reminding him:
You're in your father's medicine garden.
The companion spirit grass was in front of him, and the little crocodile raised his eyes and looked at it carefully, only then did he realize that nearly ten years had passed, and it was bigger and stranger than the last time he saw it.
Yes, strange, this is really a strange companion spirit grass! The king of the Great River Basin was born from his mother's womb, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't have any accompanying spirit grass.
However, it is said that on the day he was born, black blood gushed out from under the Hualong Pass, and the black blood kept gushing upwards and upwards, and a huge amount of black blood was swallowed up by dust and earth in the process, leaving only a little bit of it.
These black blood watered a coral tree, and the coral tree was metamorphosed, and its branches grew into the shape of crocodile armor, and the king of the great river basin couldn't take his eyes off it when he saw this coral tree, and finally, this coral tree became his companion spirit grass.
At this time, the little crocodile looked at the coral tree carefully, and his thoughts were exactly the same as when he saw them, coral trees, he thought, where is there such a coral tree?
The branches of the coral tree are as thick as a bucket and a foot high, and the bark is the shape of a crocodile's hard armor, that is, pieces of yellow hard protrusions, the branches are long and large, and a few green young leaves grow on the branches, and the little crocodile knows that this is the essence of this companion spirit grass.
There was a young leaf that was missing a little half, and the little crocodile stared at the young leaf carefully, and he knew that the old trout had eaten that half of the leaf before he was put in the cellar by his father.
However, is this really the case? He asked himself in his heart, there was no answer, he thought of what the old trout said, I was going to find out, and he told himself, if what the old trout said was true, I would give him justice.
Justice, thinking of this word, the little crocodile couldn't help but be in a trance, very young, when he accepted the teachings of those kings, he knew that there were some things in the world that were illusory and ridiculous, such as justice.
I actually tried to give someone justice, the little crocodile smiled bitterly in his heart, returning justice is probably the most unworthy thing in the world, that means you have to go to war against a powerful existence that creates injustice, and after the victory you have nothing in return, return justice, the little crocodile thought, what a fool.
However, it's not just justice, I can also know what the truth is, what is the truth? About my grandfather, about my father...... The truth may be too complicated, but there will always be a day when the day will fall.
Maybe not too far away, the little crocodile told himself that he would be able to figure everything out if he went into the treasure vault and found the so-called manuscript.
The opportunity was in front of him, he already knew that the infiltrator had entered the treasure vault with his father's token, and all he had to do was chase it down, first bring the infiltrator to justice, and then find out the truth, which was what he was going to do.
Before that, of course, he had to heal his wounds.
"Your Royal Highness," the old loach's voice sounded, he came from behind, crossed the stretcher carried by the two guards, and stared at a few tender green leaves on the tree, "I confirm again, you really want to do this?" ”
The little crocodile raised his head and looked at the tender green leaves on the tree, and in an instant, the memories of the past came to mind, and the old loach in front of him suddenly changed into a long, black whip......
"Your Highness hesitated," said Guard Armor, "I knew he would." ”
"Your Highness will not dare," said Guard B, "Your Majesty will not let him go." ”
"I've made up my mind," after a long time, the little crocodile trembled and spoke, he forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, he knew that at this time he had to take a stand, he had to take everything on his head, so that these subordinates would be relieved to help him do things, "Take down the leaves and heal me." ”
The faces of the two guards turned ugly, and they looked at each other as if they wanted to say something more, but the little crocodile glared at them fiercely, and then the old loach.
"Well," said the guard, "one is His Highness who is so badly injured that he can hardly speak, and the other is a retainer who walks shakingly. ”
"Well," Guard B lamented, "what's the solution?" Whoever makes us cheap, as long as the powerful command us, we will have to kill our heads. ”
The little crocodile listened to them, and for some reason, he heard a sense of helplessness and sadness, and he wanted to be angry, but after hearing this, he couldn't get angry.
Maybe they're not that bad, the little crocodile thought to himself, and they're just doing what they're told, and they're just trying to protect themselves.
The two guards climbed up the tree, and those tender green leaves were right in front of their eyes, and they hesitated, thinking of the great crocodile's human being, and thinking of the love of the king of the great river basin for this companion spirit grass, they had to hesitate.
"Hurry up," said the old loach, with some eagerness in his voice, "His Royal Highness the Prince will not be able to support it, take it off quickly, there is something His Royal Highness will carry." ”
Am I going to be unable to hold on? The little crocodile thought to himself, maybe, I felt the voice getting farther and farther away, but the past experience kept flashing in front of me, ah, that's my father's whip, I'll resist everything, whip, I'll resist everything.
He suddenly felt something was wrong again, this was not the first time, he had felt this way twice before, but what was wrong? He couldn't tell him, and he couldn't find it.
"Do you want that much?" The little crocodile asked, the two guards A and B moved quickly, and had already picked three leaves, including the residual leaf, and now there were only two leaves left on the tree, "Three may be enough." ”
"Your Highness," said the old loach, "you are badly wounded, and you must have five leaves." ”
"Okay." The little crocodile can only say that he still has a lot to do and cannot joke with his life.
The guards plucked the tender green leaves, and they were so dead in the face that the little crocodile looked at their faces and thought to themselves, why bother? I'll resist everything, not just the whip.
"Tong'er," the old loach beckoned, and the boy from the herb room stepped forward, and the little crocodile counted them, there were four people in total, and they carried a large stove, and the stove had four legs, and one person carried one, "Put down the stove, make a fire, and make a Dan on the spot for the teacher." ”
The four boys put down the stove, and the old loach took five leaves from the hands of the two guards with a clean silk cloth.
The boy made a fire, the old loach threw five leaves into the stove, in an instant, the treasure light rushed to the sky, the stove clicked, the old loach gave an order, the four children immediately tightened the rope in their hands, the other end of the rope tied the four legs of the stove, the treasure light rushed into the sky, wanted to take the stove away, the stove struggled, the sweet aroma spread around.
Soon, everything was over, the old loach opened the furnace to collect the pill, a total of three, each pill has the size of a dragon's eye, the color of the pill is blue, there is a spiral pattern on it, the old loach looked into the furnace again, and then told the little crocodile:
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, Dan has been completed, please take it."
The little crocodile is full of excitement, the hope of life is just around the corner, is there anything more moving in the world? At this moment, what whip, what hot summer day, all were thrown out of the clouds by him, and what he got in front of him was the best.
He trembled and wanted to get up, the old loach came and gently pressed his shoulder, the old loach held the pill with a handkerchief and handed it to the little crocodile's mouth, the little crocodile opened his mouth, the old loach lifted the handkerchief, and a pill rolled into the little crocodile's mouth.
The elixir melted in the mouth, and a vast and pure spiritual power, like the ice and snow melt of the big snowy mountain at the source of the Great River Basin, rolled and poured down, straight into the little crocodile's three levels and nine orifices, with hundreds of limbs, and in an instant, the little crocodile wanted to soar.
The second pill went down to the stomach, as if sneaking into the big river outside on a hot summer day, a cool feeling spread all over the little crocodile's body, he moaned comfortably, the cool feeling suddenly changed, and the itching came suddenly, as if it was covered with honey, provoking 10,000 ants to crawl on his body.
What's going on? The little crocodile was frightened at first, and then he understood that it was his skin being reborn! His hard armor, which was about to melt by the flames before, was now reborn rapidly, and the pure medicinal power of the elixir replenished the flames like a clear spring and took everything away from him.
The third pill went down to the stomach, and the little crocodile suddenly gave birth to an incredible feeling, at this moment, the lower abdomen was warm for a while, and then, something gushed out, the little crocodile was stunned for a few seconds, and then he realized:
His origin was fixed.
"Roaring ......" He whispered softly, trembling with excitement, there would be nothing wrong with that, he told himself that five years ago, when he came out of the Dragon Pass, he felt a chill in his lower abdomen, and then something slippery leaked out, and then his cultivation could not be improved, and the result of the doctor's diagnosis was that the origin was damaged.
Now, under the effect of the elixir, his origin has been restored again, and there seems to be a flowing spring in his lower abdomen, and the warm spring water is constantly surging and jumping, and the aura of his whole body is pouring towards the spring......
"This ......" The voice of the guard armor was very terrifying, and there was a hint of envy in it, "It is worthy of His Majesty's companion Spirit Grass!" That's really ...... What a miracle! ”
What did he see? The little crocodile thought to himself, he didn't know, but he guessed, he heard a slight "click", it was the charred black armor on his body cracking, something was coming out of his body, it was so itchy, he thought, so fast.
It took only a few breaths, or even less, for the little crocodile to find that he was completely healed, and he jumped up from the stretcher, and his eyes widened to scan the crowd, his eyes full of incredulity.
