Chapter Twenty-Seven: True Colors

The situation was urgent, and Uncle Okawa hurriedly organized us to conceive an action plan. As soon as we discussed, we could only divide and cooperate, and a group of people led the pan out of the ear chamber on the north side; The other group of people need to seize the opportunity to enter the ear chamber to find a way to the five-colored stone cave, get the gem back as soon as possible, and contain the pang. The idea is not complicated, but there are many uncertain factors in it, such as: Pan Gu is not stupid, why should he be led by the nose? Can people outrun dogs? Also, can you find a passage? Will the passage lead to the Five-Colored Stone Cave? The most important thing is that even if you get the five-color stone, how to use it?

However, time is pressing, although there are many doubts, but we can't delay any longer, if the pan gourd is parasitic on the centipede, then it should also be like the centipede, it will continue to grow after ingesting energy by devouring insects and snakes, then, every second, it will transform and absorb the flesh and blood of Boss Mi, becoming stronger and stronger. It is obviously unwise to drag it out.

When the plan stopped, we immediately divided into two groups, Uncle Okawa was responsible for guiding the plate out of the hole with his ears, and tried to follow it in the wide main room; Ah Xia and I, on the other hand, should seize the time they bought for us to find the passage of the north ear chamber as soon as possible and go down to the five-color stone cave. As for Gao Maocai and Feng Jinhua, Uncle Dachuan didn't count them at all, and for the sake of face, he just asked the two of them to follow him and take care of himself.

There is no time to delay, just do what you say.

The four of us were divided on both sides of the passage leading from the main chamber to the north transept, with Gao and Feng huddled far behind. I saw that the two of them couldn't help, so I simply mocked them why they didn't just hide in the ear room? When they heard this, they were in the middle of it, and after just walking a few steps, they found that something was wrong, and they felt that it was safe to follow Uncle Dachuan, so they ran back again, still hiding in the distance and watching. Seeing this, I "snorted", ignored them, and together with Ah Xia, carefully cooperated with Uncle Okawa, cautiously smoking the hay branches that had been filled before.

In a few moments, we had cleared most of the wood, and the passage had revealed a small half of the space, and I peeked through this gap and saw the giant dog that had grown to two meters long. Saw:

The giant dog was black and red, with cracked eyes and mouth; White teeth, sharp claws. His eyes were closed as if he was sleeping, and his ears were upside down with alertness. The four thin legs curled up slightly, shrunk into a ball, and one barbed like a sword, straight to the sky.

When I saw it, I couldn't help but gasp, this monster was bigger than the average wolf dog, the fangs, claws, the weird thorny tail, in the firelight actually emitted bursts of cold air, which made people more and more frightened. This armed equipment is even better than the king of dogs, the Tibetan mastiff, and I am afraid that it has increased unabated.

It's just that at this point, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I can only go straight to the tiger mountain. I was still looking at the strange dog, Ah Xia had already gently dragged me, it turned out that Uncle Dachuan was afraid of drawing too much firewood, and the giant dog suddenly pounced, which would catch us off guard, so he motioned for us to stay a third, and then exited the passage and waited for it at the entrance of the cave. In case it is raided, it can also use the buffer of the five or six meters of passage to gain some reaction time.

When I heard that it was reasonable, I hurriedly followed Ah Xia out of the passage, and sat alertly on the edge of the cave, patiently waiting for the remaining firewood to burn out. I was apprehensive, but I felt that time passed slowly, and after a long time, I saw that the flame gradually became smaller and smaller, almost only thirty or forty centimeters high, and most of the passage was exposed. I couldn't help but tense my nerves, staring at the entrance of the cave with all my attention, only going to the place where the giant dog was resting, looking for the traces of the gourd, but it was empty under the stone wall, where was the figure of the gourd lying quietly?!

I was so shocked that I couldn't help but ask Ah Xia, would the pan gourd know that we were going to get the five-color stone, and had already found the passage first and ran to the middle floor? If we let it destroy the cave, we'll be in vain! When Ah Xia heard this, she was only briefly shocked for a few seconds, and then comforted me with certainty: "I don't think so, if the five-colored stone will make it lose its strange power, it should avoid it, even if it sniffs out the passage, it will definitely only instinctively fear to retreat, and it will never risk its life and enter recklessly!" When I heard her words, I was a little calm, but I was still anxious about the loss of Pan Gu's vision, and I couldn't help but get up, and the probe was facing the hole, trying to search for the trace of the Pan Gu.

said that it was too late, and then it was fast, only to hear Ah Xia exclaim, "Plum be careful!" "I had already been caught in the way, and when I fell to the ground, I saw that a black shadow had shot out from the hole where I had just stood, and if I had been too late, I was afraid that I would have been in a different place.

There was no time to sigh, we hurriedly stabilized our position and waited for it. I saw that the black shadow settled in the center of the main room, and a pair of fire-breathing leopard eyes locked on several of us at the same time, and we were so overwhelmed that we couldn't breathe. When Gao Maocai and Feng Jinhua saw this situation, they were already frightened, shrank into the grass, and lost their combat effectiveness. For a while, the momentum actually reversed, and it seemed that our side was outnumbered.

The pan gourd saw the momentum, let out a low roar in his throat, half opened the dog's mouth, sharpened his fangs, exhaled "whew", and put on a demonstrative expression, so startled that I felt that my back was half cold in an instant, and my hands and feet were a little numb. When I looked at the strange again, I saw a flash of cold light, and the spikes on the long tail had been poked at me with lightning speed, "whoosh", I fixed my eyes and saw that I had come closer, and quickly instinctively wanted to bow my head and bend down to dodge, but, knowing in my heart, I secretly complained: "This distance, I don't know if I can hide too much......

was losing his mind, and suddenly felt his hands and feet tighten, and his body was violently pulled, and the sharp knife-like tail thorn only grazed his scalp and shot over, and then retracted vigorously and forcefully. As soon as I looked down, I saw Ah Xia's fair-skinned and handsome, heroic little face, only to see her sharp eyes, not far from the fierce monster, her eyes were like water, and she couldn't see the tiredness of sleepless nights in her calmness. I saw that her morale was high, and I was also encouraged, I couldn't help but calm down, and stood side by side with her in a corner, my chest warmed, and I thought: Didn't I just decide to protect her, but I was saved by her twice in an instant, and I am not grateful. Shame on you, it's time to show off the real technology!

I made up my mind, I immediately adjusted my feet, in a forward and backward posture, and then my left foot flicked the prepared clod of earth forward slightly, and my right foot had already kicked out violently, and the apple-sized clod of earth was spun out of five and a half arcs, and I shot out in a flying circle, hitting the fierce dog's head impartially, and smashing the giant dog into a gray face!

Now is the time! Seeing that I had successfully counterattacked, Ear and Uncle Okawa shouted, and each grabbed the prepared clods and pebbles, and threw them at the head and face of the giant dog like raindrops, causing the strange to scream for a while. Seeing this, Ah Xia and I hurriedly seized the opportunity, and as planned, we turned around and ran to the edge of the cave, ready to turn over and climb up the passage leading to the north ear chamber.

Ah Xia was agile, and she saw that she had jumped into the cave in one step. I was a little slower, stopped with my hands, and was about to climb up to the edge of the cave, when I suddenly heard a roar behind me, and when I turned around, I saw that the giant dog was carrying the raindrop-like earth and stone sandwich, and his blood-red strange eyes were angry, and he was on all fours, ready to attack like a toad, and he was about to use the one breath he had just used to fly over the passage, and the strong wind rushed at my "bloodthirsty raid"!

In the midst of great urgency, I estimated the trajectory of the vicious dog that was about to pounce, and suddenly realized that the target was-

That is already in the passage, avoiding the inevitable Ah Xia! Seeing this, Uncle Okawa and Er strengthened their offensive, but they couldn't interrupt Pan Gu's full killing move. At the critical moment, I just wanted to stand up and block the arrow, when suddenly the pan gon totem that I had obtained from Uncle Okawa on my waist got up with me, and it was also dragged and swayed, as if it was loaded with things. Seeing this, it suddenly occurred to me that Ah Xia once said that the goal of the cursed monster is to recover its own divided internal organs, so it is very likely that the organs of this giant dog are contained in this strange totem in my pocket!

Thinking of this, I hurriedly grabbed the pan gourd totem the size of a mineral water bottle and the width of a fist in my hand, raised it high and shook it, and the giant dog's vicious dog eyes immediately glared at it, and it really attracted the attention of pan gourd! I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that I had interrupted its accumulation, and pretended to fall to the ground, and sure enough, the black and strong dog was furious and barked at me in a rage.

I ignored him, threw the strange totem to my ear, and said, "Brother, take this to seduce it, don't be afraid that the beast will not be led by the dog's nose!" With that, he turned around and climbed up the hole, caught up with Ah Xia, and went to the ear chamber to the north. The monster hated me, and was about to catch up, but he saw that the underbeaten ear pretended to slip and fell off the totem jar, but when the jar was about to land, he caught it, and by the way, he stuck out his tongue at the giant dog, made an exaggerated grimace, and mocked: "Want it? Come and get it! ”

Angry, the giant dog roared a few times, and couldn't help but pounce on him, successfully attracted to hatred by him. Uncle Okawa on the side also got inspired by my actions, and while the monster was chasing his ears, he found another jar from the ear chamber behind him, and teased the plate back and forth with his ears, causing the monster to be in a dilemma, and he couldn't decide which one to catch.

Ah Xia and I took this opportunity to enter the northern ear chamber that had been entrenched before. After a closer inspection, we found that the ear chamber seemed to have been renovated, and the inside and outside were filled with the same yellow mud, and it was impossible to see any flaws on the surface, as if someone had deliberately hidden the entrance to the passage in order to conceal the location of the gem.

Who is it?

It's just that in the current situation, it is no longer important to know who did it, and it is imperative to find out where the passage is. When I was at a loss, I suddenly remembered what Ah Xia had told me earlier, that monsters were afraid of the five-colored stone, so they instinctively stayed away from the entrance of the passage. In this way, what I saw through the firelight before, the position where Pan Gu was lying down when he was sleeping is facing the entrance of the passage?!

As soon as I told Ah Xia my thoughts, she immediately followed me to the entrance to the main chamber, and I remembered the angle from which I looked at the gourd from the passage, and found the longitudinal section of the line of sight when I peeked at the monster. Ah Xia immediately positioned the position of the pan gourd according to that perspective, passed through the center of the cave, made a reverse extension line, and finally found an area that appeared hollow when knocked on the lower right side of the passage of the main room. I took out the iron abacus and smashed it violently, and sure enough, a gap was knocked out! Ah Xia and I were overjoyed to see this, one brandished an iron abacus and the other used a torch to pry the tail, and together we made the hole bigger, and slid down the passage that was going down, and fell into a dark cave one after another.

Ah Xia and I pressed the flashlight and circled for a week before we could see the whole cave: it was a stone room with a wine cellar-like layout, scattered with some decaying wooden frames, desolate and buried in the dust accumulated underground, I don't know if it was used to hold ancient books or other things. We walked around the storeroom-like stone house a few times, but we didn't find any lustrous gems, and in disappointment, I had to call out to Ah Xia, who was still rummaging in the dust, to give up the five-color stone plan, and find another way, go back to the upper floor to support Uncle Okawa and Ear first.

Ah Xia agreed, and was about to get up, but he didn't pay attention, but kicked down a crockpot with a strange shape like a wine cup, half of which was submerged in the dust, only to hear a loud sound, I took a flashlight, and saw clearly, a pile of unsightly flat stones, flowing out of the overturned crockpot like water, rolling at our feet. I was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Could this be the legendary 'five-color stone'?" As he spoke, he bent down to pick one up, pressed the flashlight, turned it to the brightest, and shone on this ordinary flake stone from all angles, making sure that there was not a trace of the luster of the gem. Ah Xia also tried, and the result was still the same. Seeing this, I didn't give up, and violently smashed a piece with the iron abacus, but I still didn't find any glowing or reflective qualities, and shook my head at Ah Xia again in great disappointment.

Ah Xia thought about it, and suggested that each of them bring some back to the upper level, maybe we can't find a way to use it for the time being. When I heard it, I thought it made sense, so I packed a bag of cloth with her, tied it around our waists, and went into the passage and climbed up the floor.

Returning to the ear chamber on the north side of the upper floor, and then going through the passage back to the main room, jumping out of the hole, we found that Uncle Okawa and Ear were already at the end of their crossbows, and were being chased by the pan gourd that had grown up again. Especially the ears, which have been obviously injured, a pair of hands are bloody, and the totem jar held by him has been snatched away by the vicious dog, no wonder the shape and strength of the pan have increased a lot.

Seeing this, Ah Xia hurriedly shouted at the panting Uncle Dachuan, and took the only remaining totem jar he threw over, and instead of him, he led the fast-moving pan gourd hidden cat - fortunately, it was a light body, agile body, and could skillfully take advantage of the terrain of the main room to jump up and down, fly the eaves and walk on the wall, if it was replaced by someone else, and the fierce vicious dog ran the road, it would not take a few times to catch up, catch and eat.

Taking advantage of the time when Ah Xia took the vicious dog in the main room to play "Temple Escape", I hurriedly came to the ear room with Uncle Okawa, briefly stopped the bleeding and bandaged him, and by the way, I told Uncle Okawa about the situation of the five-color stone. They looked at the "five-colored stone" for a long time, which looked like the flat stone pieces we usually play with, but they didn't come up with a reason, so they had to share some of them, and followed me back to the main room to find a way to support Ah Xia.

I saw that Ah Xia was tired and sweaty, and her chest was rising and falling violently, as if she had reached the limit. But the pan gourd was not tired at all, greedily sucking the blood flowing from the jade hand that was cut by the sharp stone when Ah Xia avoided it, and became more and more ferocious, roaring and jumping towards Ah Xia who was climbing on the upside-down stone stalactite, about to gnaw her.

A good Ah Xia, seeing the vicious dog rushing and pounced, but was not frightened, turned around unhurriedly, put his feet against the sword-like stalactites, and with a kick of force, he had already jumped out of the distance, and then dexterously dodged on the knife-like stone wall, dodging left and right, and had dodged a few tail thorns thrown out by the angry and angry pan gourd vicious dog in a row, leaving only a few holes the size of a bowl on the hard stone wall behind her. The bright moonlight also shone in through the hole, forming a series of silver-white bands of light in the stone room.

It's just that Ah Xia has repeatedly retreated, and has been forced into a desperate situation by the gourd, I fixed my eyes and saw that within five steps, Ah Xia had no place to step in front of her, and the vicious dog behind her was no more than a few feet away from her......

At the last moment, I didn't care about the use of the "five-color stone" in my hand, so I hurriedly grabbed a few, ran two steps, opened the bow left and right, and hit the fierce giant dog's head and face - I only asked for one out of ten, hit its eyes and nose, and let it stop in pain, so as to relieve Ah Xia's urgent need.

I saw that the few weak flakes of stones, spinning and drawing a clear trajectory, flew straight towards the huge body of the giant dog, and when they got closer, they were completely engulfed by the dark and strong figure of the monster. I felt anxious, but there was nothing I could do, and I saw that the helpless girl in the air was about to be swallowed by the huge maw of the beast......

In desperation, I saw that a few pieces of light stones, just happened to cross a ray of moonlight falling in front of Pan Gu's body, and suddenly like a diamond bathed in the morning sun, exuding thousands of brilliance: like a red and delicate agate, and like orange and yellow amber, in a blink of an eye, it turned into a green and blue jade, and in an instant it became a blue and deep and bright gem, and finally flashed, and turned into the purple and magnificent crystal, exuding all kinds of brilliance, for a while, if the eyes were blind, the god seemed to be in a trance, only remember-

The brilliance danced, and the demons retreated.
