Chapter Forty-Eight: The Centipede's Tribulation

Lao Chen took out another cigarette and lit it and continued: "At that time, I saw that it was on top of a big rock not far from me, and it was half probed. At first, I thought it was a snake, but when I looked closer, I found that it was a centipede, and its body was densely covered with feet. But if it's an ordinary centipede, where can I see so clearly! But this centipede is also a little too big! It is as thick as an adult's thigh, and every foot on his body is as thick as chopsticks. It was all black and shiny, and it was lying on the rock, letting the rain fall on it. I was so scared that my scalp was numb! I haven't seen a centipede this big in decades of life. I hid there quietly and secretly watched the giant centipede. I only felt that this centipede should have become a sperm, and thinking of this, I hurriedly squatted down gently, afraid that the centipede would discover my existence. ”

"! Such a large centipede, even if it is not refined, must have become the climate. And what about later? What happened? I looked at Lao Chen with interest and asked.

Lao Chen glanced at me: "I don't know if it's fine or not." But it looks like it must already have a way! Otherwise, how could there be lightning splitting it, such a thick lightning splitting on its body, it actually didn't do anything at all. Do you think it's weird? ”

I smiled and looked at Xiao Lao Dao: "Old Xiao, it must be crossing the tribulation, and it should be the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation." The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen. What else does it want to cultivate through the Thunder Tribulation? If it's a snake or a python, I know that it can be cultivated into a dragon if it succeeds, but it's just a centipede!"

Old man Xiao stretched out his index finger and put it to his mouth and sighed: "Shhh Don't worry, boy! Let's listen to Lao Chen first. I nodded awkwardly at Lao Chen.

Lao Chen threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and continued to recall: "Just when I was looking at the huge centipede with fear. There was a loud bang, and I saw a lightning bolt suddenly slashing from the sky, and a thunderbolt slashed directly on the centipede, and the centipede did not dodge. The explosion thunder directly struck the centipede's body, and sparks flew in all directions. A wave of heat mixed with a strong mushy smell came over me. I was startled by the sudden thunder. At that time, I saw the thunder smashing on the centipede, and I thought that the centipede should have been hacked to death. But when I looked up, the centipede was still lying on the rock, and its feet were still shaking. I really gasped! I didn't expect this thunder to be able to chop the centipede to death, how capable it is, and I don't know how many years of cultivation it has been in the mountains. At this time, the second explosion thunder mixed with lightning slashed down again, and accurately fell on the centipede, at this time the centipede seemed to feel the pain, fell from the rock lying on the ground to the ground, the long body kept rolling back and forth on the ground, as if in pain, and the feet on both sides of the body were also constantly trembling there.

Before the centipede could calm down, the third thunderbolt mixed with thicker lightning slashed down again, hitting the centipede's head, and the centipede, which was still rolling on the ground a moment ago, instantly erected its whole body, and quietly let the lightning thunder smash its body......

The clouds slowly cleared up the sky, and the thunder began to subside. There were no more thunderbolts or lightning in the sky, and the downpour gradually stopped, and in a few moments, the sun appeared high in the sky again, as if nothing had happened just now.

I've never seen anything like this in my life, so I lay in that hole for a long time, my heart pounding. After a while, I turned my head to look outside, and the original black carapace of the centipede's body had turned withered and yellowed, as if it had been struck by lightning and was about to molt.

I didn't dare to move, so I continued to squat at the entrance of the cave and watched quietly, and sure enough, it didn't take long. The big centipede began to shake its body, slowly shedding a layer of yellow-brown skin. Then he twisted his body and flew directly to the opposite mountain, yes, he flew over in mid-air. Seeing that it had gone away, I slowly came to my senses, so I picked up the fire and walked down the mountain with trepidation.

I didn't expect that I had just walked far before the centipede actually went and flew back and flew directly into the waterhole in front of me. The pool was not big, but it was crystal clear. I saw the centipede swimming around in the pool, and I was scared to move.

There was a loud "bang", and the fire in my hand went off. I was so nervous that I accidentally pulled the trigger with my fingers.

I hurriedly picked up the fire gun that had fallen to the ground, and the smoke was still billowing from the mouth. The big centipede was startled by the sound of the firecracker, and hurriedly twisted its body and burrowed towards me.

I reloaded the guns and iron sand as fast as I could, and then raised the guns to shoot at the large centipedes that came in. Suddenly, it occurred to me that I had just seen so many lightning explosions and thunderbolts smashing on its body, and it was fine. Will my little firebolt be of any use to it?

Thinking of this, I hurriedly threw away the firearm in my hand and turned around and ran. I looked back as I ran, but I didn't expect the big centipede to fly while crawling. When I saw that the big centipede was actually flying, I thought that I couldn't beat it, and I couldn't run away. Just as I was about to close my eyes and wait for death, the centipede slammed into my body in the air, knocking me five or six meters away. I had Venus in my eyes, I was dizzy, clutching my chest and spitting out a mouthful of blood, lying on the ground and struggling for a long time unable to get up.

Seeing that the big centipede had opened its bloody mouth and slowly crawled towards me, the fishy smell in its mouth was clearly audible. I know that centipedes are particularly poisonous, even if a small centipede bites, it will hurt for a long time. But the centipede in front of me is several meters long, and if I get bitten, I will basically die. I hurriedly struggled to escape, but I had just been hit too hard, and my consciousness became more and more blurred, and just when I was about to fall unconscious, Mr. Xiao and an old Taoist priest appeared in front of me, drove away the big centipede, and saved my life. Speaking of this, the corners of Lao Chen's eyes moistened. Hurriedly grabbed Old Man Xiao's hand: "Mr. Xiao, it wasn't you and that old Taoist at the beginning. I'm afraid I'd have died in the mouth of the big centipede. This kindness will always be remembered by my old Chen. Old man Xiao patted Lao Chen's shoulder and comforted: "Old Chen! It's been so long, don't think about it so much! ”

Lao Chen wiped his tears with his sleeve and continued: "By the way, Mr. Xiao, what about the old Taoist who saved me with you in the first place? I don't know where that old Taoist immortal is? I must pay a visit in person and thank the old Taoist. ”

Old man Xiao smiled and pointed at me and said, "Old Chen! I'll accept your kindness for that old Taoist. But just visit your home! Saving a person's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, which is exactly the purpose of our Taoist people. This little brother of mine is the only disciple of the old Dao Master. ”

"What? You're the disciple of that old Dao Master?" Lao Chen looked at me suspiciously and asked.

"Yes! The tutor took me in as a disciple. I smiled and responded to Lao Chen.

Lao Chen hurriedly walked over and grabbed my hand and asked eagerly, "Little brother! Is your master's old man's health okay? ”

I nodded and said, "Thanks to your concern, Lao Chen, the family teacher is in good health." Lao Chen said with a smile: "That's good, when I'm done with this time, I must personally visit the old Taoist, the grace of saving lives is not trivial." ”

"Lao Chen hurry up and kill the chicken, and help me wash the vegetables by the way." Sister-in-law Chen walked in from outside with two large bags of vegetables.

"Okay, I'll be right here." Lao Chen turned his head and responded loudly to Sister-in-law Chen, and then said to me and Old Man Xiao with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, you and your little brother will sit here for a while, and I will go to the kitchen to help." Come right away. After saying that, I happily walked to the kitchen, and Old Man Xiao and I looked at each other and smiled, and then continued to drink tea.
