Chapter 34: Behemoth
Swimming in through the open gate, to my surprise, the force of the water weakened a lot.
And all that water came out of a room. In addition to this, there are many rooms in the palace.
The doors to the room were tightly closed, and all the doors were made of crystals of various colors.
The whole palace was full of colors, and I felt like I was in a mythical world.
The water flowed through the doors of each room, and Cui Han couldn't wait to push open one of the doors next to him.
The water in the palace seemed to be in a fixed direction. As the door to the room was pushed open, only a small stream of water followed.
The whole room was empty, except for the place against the wall, where there was an iron box more than one person high.
When I saw it, I recognized it at a glance, it was exactly the same as the iron box that the grandfather had made out, and it was also locked with a big lock, and I didn't know what it contained.
Cui Han glanced at the iron box and didn't seem interested in it.
He urged me to come out of the room.
We searched room after room, and in each room, there was such an iron box.
In all the rooms, there was a bad atmosphere. Those evil qi were so thick that they seemed to be unable to dissolve, and the further they went, the heavier they became.
Not far from the door, there was a room, which was empty.
If I'm not mistaken, the iron box inside has been taken out by the grandfather, and it contains the red carp.
The palace was so big that it seemed to have no end. Cui Han's face became even more ugly, because he had not been able to find what he was looking for.
He was a little angry, and kept pushing me forward with his short sword.
We had reached the back of the palace, and in front of the river, there were two crystal gates more than a foot high.
Standing in front of the door, you can feel a strong coercion coming towards you. It seemed to crush me to powder.
Feeling that aura, Cui Han also became nervous.
The door closed tightly, and Cui Han pointed to the gate and motioned for me to push them open.
My hand had just touched the door, and before I could exert any force, suddenly a figure swam up to me very quickly.
I was taken aback, for it was the first time I had seen a living creature in such a long time in the palace.
I looked closely, and then I saw clearly, it turned out to be a sunspot. I don't know where it went, but it didn't find me until now.
It gently bit down on my trouser leg and pulled me to the side. It was clear what it meant, and it didn't want me to leave the door open.
Cui Han flew up and kicked at the sunspot.
Kuroko's reaction was quick and he had already avoided it far away. Its eyes widened, staring at Cui Han viciously.
Cui Han swung his short sword at me, his meaning was obvious, if I didn't do it again, he would be unwelcome.
I knew very well in my heart that he didn't dare to do anything to me. Because if something happens to me, the evil aura around him will kill him immediately.
I pushed the two doors, but they didn't close tightly, and I pushed them open.
On either side of the gate, there is a long cloister, which is cleverly designed, and the water flows down the cloister to the outside of the palace.
There was no water in the gate at all and the air was very fresh. To my surprise, the light in front of me was very bright.
The roof is inlaid with countless fist-sized night pearls, and the entire space is illuminated as bright as day.
It's just that the evil aura in the space is thicker, and the cold is like a blade. My body almost froze.
In the center of the space, there is a platform more than two meters high. The platform is round in shape, with a diameter of about one zhang.
A man dressed in black was sitting cross-legged on it with his head bowed.
Seeing that person, Cui Han's face immediately became very ugly, and he said, "Impossible, how can he still be alive after so many years?" ”
We walked under the platform and saw what he looked like.
His face was ruddy, his eyes were slightly closed, as if he were asleep, and this face looked very familiar, and the statue of the river god was carved in his likeness.
The entire space is dozens of zhang in size, and there are still rows of iron boxes more than one person high against the wall.
The chests were rusty, and some of them had turned black due to the long-term erosion of the aura.
Unlike the other chests, there was a transparent crystal chest closest to the man.
It's nearly twice as big as the other boxes. Inside the box, there stood a giant beast that was nearly a foot tall.
It looked terrifying, its body was covered with red scales, and its eyes were also red, like two rubies, shining with a fierce light.
Two canine teeth more than a foot long protrude from the corners of their mouths, and under the illumination of the night pearl, they are more like two daggers.
Its forelimbs are short and its hind limbs are long, similar to those of a large otter.
Its claws are identical to those of a human foot, except several times larger, with webbing in the center of the toe.
It occurred to me that I had seen those footprints on the river beach.
I stared at it for a long time, and its eyes were wide, but unblinking, as if it had been dead for a long time.
The man on the platform had been in that position since we came in.
Cui Han watched him carefully. He watched for five or six minutes, and the man remained motionless.
A look of surprise appeared on Cui Han's face, and he said, "I guessed right, haha, he's dead!" ”
He said to me, "Let's go to the platform!" ”
Next to the platform there is a stone staircase that leads to the top of the platform. To get to the platform through the stone steps, you had to pass in front of the beast.
Cui Han's eyes kept staring at the platform, and his face was full of excitement. He didn't pay much attention to the beast at all.
Because I've seen those footprints on the river beach, I've been wondering if the footprints were left by it.
As we approached it, its eyes seemed to roll slightly.
My hairs stood on end immediately. But Cui Han still didn't notice it at all, and was still urging me to hurry up.
I saw the giant beast's claws move slightly. I jumped out of the way and rolled at the same time.
Cui Han was stunned for a moment and asked me, "What are you going to do?" ”
The coverage area of the carp pill is three or four feet. Although I jumped far away, Cui Han was still within the range of Yinmang.
He hurriedly ran this way.
At the same time, with a whoosh, the beast had jumped out of the crystal chest.
It jumped up and down a foot high, and at the same time there was a rattle of chains.
Only then did I notice that there was a wrist-thin chain wrapped around each of its feet.
Cui Han also heard the sound of chains, and in a hurry, he turned his head to take a look.
To his horror, he found that the beast had leapt into the air, its sharp claws grabbing at the top of his head like daggers.
Although Cui Han was caught off guard, his reaction was very fast, and he quickly rolled to the side, and the claws of the giant beast grabbed on the stone steps, and a few sparks immediately appeared.
There are several grooves left on the stone steps. It borrowed its strength and jumped up again.
The claws grabbed Cui Han like a storm.
Cui Han held the short sword in his hand and walked towards the other party.
The claws clenched at the dagger and made a clanging sound.
Seeing Cui Han fighting with the giant beast, I planned to stay away.
As long as Cui Han is out of the range of the silver mang, he will be eroded by the evil qi and die.
Compared to the giant beast, Cui Han is more difficult to deal with, as long as he is killed first, then the rest of the things will be much easier.
Cui Han was extremely cunning, although he was fighting the monster head-on, but the corner of his eye was watching me.
Seeing me running to the side, he also retreated.
It's just that the beast's claws are already grabbing at his back. Although Cui Han was very fast, he was still scratched on the back.
The beast's claws were like blades, and there were several blood marks on his back at once.
Cui Han ran up to me in two steps, stared at me with red eyes, and said, "Don't play tricks with me!" If I can't get out alive, Chen Chao won't want to live! ”
He knew that I was most worried about Uncle Chen, so he used him to blackmail me.
What he said is very reasonable, if I go back by myself, then Zuo Liangtu will definitely not let Uncle Chen go.
I gritted my teeth and tried to figure out how to deal with him.
By this time, the giant beast had already pounced on him. As if it had a grudge against Cui Han, it rushed directly towards him, ignoring me at all.
Cui Han said viciously, "You know each other, otherwise I'm welcome!" ”
In fact, I knew very well in my heart that he was just using me. When the things are in hand, and I leave safely, I will be of no use to him. I guess he'll find a way to get rid of me, too.
I was so distraught that I couldn't make up my mind.
Cui Han's situation was very embarrassing, and he kept rolling on the ground. The beast's claws kept scratching at him.
Cui Han avoided it dangerously every time, and several scratches were scratched on his body.
The chains on the monster's feet slid back and forth on the ground, making a rattling sound.
