Chapter 117: The Water Monster (I)
On the bumpy raft, it seems that the game between me and Martingale is far more dangerous and terrifying than the turbulent and hidden underground river! The role of my dark chess, as well as the role of his dark chess, will most likely affect the unification of the two major sects of the Maoshan faction in the end, and will also affect the checks and balances between the righteous and evil ways in the future. Martingale wants to use me, but he doesn't look down on my strength, and since it's hard for me to ride a tiger, I might as well show weakness in front of Martingale Lingzhi, so that he is smug and thinks that he completely controls me, so, maybe that's the biggest role of my dark chess!
Hearing my words, Martingale Lingzhi slowly turned his head, looked at me solemnly, and said with a slight smile: "Can you ask me this question, does it already mean that our cooperation has begun?" ”
I nodded, and said pretending to be honest, "Since you've said everything to this point, wouldn't it be stupid if I didn't cooperate with you?" But since I choose to cooperate with you, you must also show your sincerity, I can't be like a mallet, let you drive! I want to know when my mission can be completed, and if you can't guarantee that I can prevent Gu Tan from getting the edict, then my value to you may be gone! ”
"Good!"
Martingale Lingzhi happily agreed, and then said: "Then we will make a decision!" As for your mission, I can reveal a little bit of information to you now, as long as you do what I say, Gu Tan will never be able to get the oracle from my master's Xuan Demon, not to mention that if he approaches my master, then if I want to get my master's mantle, this plan will also be broken. In this way, our purpose can be said to be the same. ”
I took a deep look at the martingale and then said in a deep voice, "Is this my talisman?" ”
"Hahaha......"
When Yingling Lingzhi heard this, he immediately laughed loudly: "Ergou, Ergou, every time I think you are stupid, you tend to behave very smartly, you guessed it, once we cooperate seamlessly and follow our plan step by step, then I can guarantee that you will have no worries." But don't try to play any tricks with me, or I'll take your head away mercilessly! ”
Hearing Martingale Lingzhi's words, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. But I didn't say any more, because the cooperation between me and Martingale Lingzhi was already preliminary. Judging by what Martingale had said before and after, there was no need for him to lie to me, because I could almost feel how desperate he was to get the mantle of the old demon inheritance. For the sake of inheriting the mantle of the old demon, he had to make the plan without any flaws, so he chose to use me as his auxiliary pawn.
Before the inheritance of the mantle of the Xuan Demon Elder Dao, any conditions were nothing to Martingale Lingzhi, which was one of the reasons why he cooperated with me so happily. As for what exactly he wants to do with me, I don't know yet, in short, it won't be a good thing, but I don't have a choice now, only to move forward, so I must choose to cooperate with him. While being coerced by him, waiting for an opportunity to use him in turn!
The odds were slim and the odds of success were slim, but I had to. Because before I came, I had secretly sworn that in order to complete the task assigned to me by the Master, I would not hesitate to break my bones. Life and death can be left behind, let alone a single cooperation, and I haven't taken it to heart. From another point of view, I have no chance of winning against Gu Tan alone, but with this martingale order, Gu Tan is not our opponent.
Behind this dangerous cooperation, it is impossible to determine whether it is a blessing or a curse. But the only thing that is certain is that the martingale will not do anything to me until the goal is achieved, that is, before that, he is also equivalent to my talisman and must ensure my safety.
At this moment, I suddenly noticed that the raft under me was raised several feet with a loud sound, and the martingale in front of me was swooping downward, and I dared to encounter a downhill road...... But when I saw that the martingale was lying on the raft violently, I immediately grabbed the raft and pressed my body against the raft, clinging to the raft tightly. Despite this, the two of us were still vibrating back and forth by the force of the raft, and the raft kept hitting the dark stone wall from side to side, and I could even hear the ropes on the raft cracking.
Fortunately, the front returned to the flat rapids, and at this moment, Martingale Lingzhi sighed lightly and said: "This underground river should not be underestimated, if we haven't even arrived in the underground Penglai, we have been buried in this underground river, it would be too stupid!" As he spoke, Martingale Lingzhi carefully checked the structure of the raft, and tightened the ropes on both sides.
"Alas! If I had known that this underground river was so dangerous and unpredictable, I should have brought in some more ropes, but now it seems that I have not thought it through! "I also checked the rope over here and tightened it. I was about to say something more, but suddenly I was shocked by a collision sound from under the raft, and I almost fell into the dark river. However, the icy river still slapped on my body with a hula, and I couldn't help but feel excited. This river is so cold!
Martingale suddenly dodged to the middle of the raft, and then said to me in a deep voice: "If you don't want to die so quickly, just hide in the middle like me, there is a long undercurrent in front of you, try not to touch the four sides of the raft, especially the dark river below!" Hearing the words of the martingale, I suddenly raised my head and glanced ahead, and in an instant, my whole body was stiff, under the gaze of the eye of the sky, I saw that in the dark river in front of me, there seemed to be a small thing, attached to the underwater stone wall, when I saw them, I found that they were slowly wriggling.
I instantly understood what Martingale was talking about, and immediately came to Martingale Order's side, and then asked in a low voice, "What are those little things?" It's like some small underwater insects, but there seem to be a lot of them in front of them, all of them are attached to the underwater stone wall, and they exude green points of light all over their bodies, similar to the points of light of ghost fire! I, I've never seen such a little worm before......" Hearing my words, Martingale turned his head and smiled at me, but said nothing.
I was stunned, and I didn't pay attention to the martingale anymore, he didn't say it when he should speak, since he knew everything, he just wouldn't tell me. But with the way he looked so nervous, I didn't think those little bugs were good creatures. The fact that the martingale did not allow me to touch the four sides of the raft, especially the river below, may have illustrated the problem.
After a while, I inexplicably heard a slight erosion sound coming from the raft beneath me, like the sound of small insects burrowing into the food and chewing. If it is a sound, it will seem inaudible, but if the sound of countless chewing comes at once, it will be particularly terrifying. Not only was my face pale at the moment, but even Martingale Lingzhi also looked around cautiously, and then, he scolded in a low voice: "These little beasts were going to pass quietly like this, but they didn't know how to leave us!" Ergou, be careful, these turtles will kill us, try not to get entangled with them! ”
"What? Turtles? What is a turtle?! ”
I heard the cautious words of Martingale Lingzhi, and immediately jumped up, but as soon as I raised my head, I suddenly saw a rock wall in front of me just in front of me, I hurriedly lowered my head, but my body followed a stumble, and then reached out to support the surrounding stone wall, but the raft was hit by the undercurrent, the speed was too fast, sitting on it did not feel that once compared with the things around me, I would find that the speed of this raft was like flying.
"Oops!"
I immediately withdrew my hand and watched as the stone wall scraped on my finger and blood poured out. But before I could sit down, I saw Martingale Lingzhi staring at my hand with a frightened face, and immediately shouted: "Don't let the blood continue to flow!" Look what those turtles are doing?! Hearing this, I turned my head coldly to take a look, and was immediately frightened to pee, only to see the drop of blood that I had just unintentionally dripped into the dark river, and in an instant I was surrounded by countless yin turtles, looking at those smaller bodies, all of a sudden became fat and big, terrifying, which made me shudder.
Turning around, I hurriedly tore off a piece of cloth to wrap my fingers, but at this time, I only heard the sound of the turtles chewing under the raft getting louder and louder, and the raft was invading the water little by little. It seems that the buoyancy of the raft is weakening sharply, seeing this, I am restless, and Martingale Lingzhi is even more pale, he said coldly: "It's not a way to go on like this, these yin turtles can smell the blood on your body, and there will be a steady stream of yin turtles gathered under the raft, we must immediately find a way to isolate those yin turtles, otherwise we will not be eaten by them, and we will be drowned in this underground dark river!" ”
"So what do we do now? Is there any way to stop those turtles from continuing to gnaw on the raft?! I asked in a daze, "You have always been very conceited, thinking that your own Taoism is above all else, so now you have no way to deal with these yin turtles?!" "I said this, on the one hand, because I really didn't know what to do, because it was the first time I had experienced this kind of strange journey.
But seeing that Yingzhi glared at me angrily, he said, "You don't need to provoke me, I know what to do, it's just a few yin turtles." But this method requires both of us to do it at the same time to work, because there are so many turtles around us, so why would you choose to make a raft out of a few rotten logs? If it's bamboo, these yin turtles like to gnaw on these rotten things, bamboo with the breath of the yang, has a restraining effect on those yin turtles with extremely strong yin energy, and now we can only survive this area where the yin turtles exist! ”
