Chapter 22: Dragon Diving Abyss, Rain Ripples (2)
I woke up in the middle of the night and saw Liu Dongxi lying on a branch looking over the mountain. I knew he was hoping that the natural barrier would recede, but as far as the eye could see, the starlight still surrounded the mountain, and there was no decline in the slightest. I pushed him and persuaded, "I'll keep watch, you can sleep for a while, you have to go up the mountain tomorrow." ”
Liu is reluctant to go, but he can also distinguish the importance, at least he can't look at the water curtain for a lifetime, no one can say what the situation will be tomorrow, and recuperating is the best choice.
Soon after Liu Shixi lay down, he let out a slight snoring sound, and I picked up a tall branch and climbed up, found a comfortable position to sit down, and looked around with the hilt of the sword in my hand. I'm used to the quiet nights here, and the loud sound of water seems to only intensify the silence.
It was about four o'clock when the sound of water in the distance suddenly increased, and I was almost asleep, but now I woke up suddenly and hurriedly looked into the distance.
I saw that the starlight came down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the originally obscured mountain was exposed to the line of sight. I didn't expect Liu to really say it, is there really such a thing as Long Qianyuan? I was about to call him, but he got up, stretched out his head to look over there, and shouted loudly: "Brother An, look, the water is receding!" ”
Do you still need you to call me when I hear this? I didn't plan to answer what I wanted to do if he wanted to find me, but Liu Shiwu had already seen my position, climbed up in three or two, and said with flying eyebrows: "Brother An, look! The water is receding! ”
I said, "I saw it before you shouted it the first time!" You hurry up and sleep for a while, recuperate and leave again at dawn. ”
Liu Dongxi had already calmed down and said: "No, let's leave now, this kind of thing in Long Qianyuan is just a legend, no one has ever seen it, I don't know how long it will take, I'm afraid we will have to wait until dawn and the water will rise again, I'm afraid we will have to wait for next year." ”
I thought about it, felt that he had a point, and agreed immediately. The two of them packed up their things, lit their torches and hurried to the other side of the gap.
The road had been carved out before, and it was effortless to walk, and we soon came to the side of the gap.
I saw that at this time the water had receded as high as the earth, and the huge amount of water was exhausted when it rushed in front of me, and then struggled to fall back to its original place, making a deafening sound, and for a time the water surged in the entire gap, just like a group of giant beasts with nowhere to vent were bound by gravity, struggling to stretch out their claws but falling into the void.
Just when I was in a daze, Liu Dongshi had already chosen the tree. I went over to take a look, and this guy chose a cedar tree that is more than two hugs thick, and it is more than 30 meters high. Do I think I need to be so ruthless? In what lifetime can this guy be cut?
Liu Dongxi was still standing in front of the tree and gesturing, and I went over and asked him loudly: "How can we cut such a big tree with our two small blades?" Liu didn't hear clearly, I repeated it again, and then he understood, and came up to answer me: "Let's dig it!" "When I heard it, it was even more outrageous, this project is larger, and I will have to dig until next year.
I was about to reason with him again, when I suddenly understood what he meant, the tree was very close to the gap, that is, more than a meter away, and countless roots hung down into the depths of the gap, such a distance, digging it down should be regarded as the easiest way.
Liu Dongxi knew that I understood what he meant, and pointed to the digging range, and each found a branch to take advantage of and began to dig the ground. The soil here is mainly humus that I don't know how many years to accumulate, coupled with the abundance of water vapor, it has long soaked the soil, it is very easy to dig up, and when there is a big root whisker, it will be cut off, and the project is carried out smoothly, by dawn we have hollowed out the bottom of the tree, several taproots are in the air, fortunately the soil here is still soft, the roots are long and straight, saving us a lot of trouble.
At this time, the water has been lowered, and the gap between the ground is empty, and I only see a line of water at the bottom meandering, and I don't know the depth. The area of the mountain that was originally hidden by the water curtain also appeared in front of us, and it is estimated that the perennial erosion carried away the soil and washed out deep ravines in the bare rocks of the mountain. I don't know what kind of stone makes up the mountain, and it glows black in the sunlight. If the back of the mountain is the same as this one, then the mountain is like a grimace walnut, and a bunch of green hairs on the top of its head are slapped on the ground.
By this time, the two of them were too tired to do anything, but the tree still showed no signs of loosening. I asked Liu Shi, "Is your dragon gone?" ”
Liu Dongxi gasped and said, "Yes, it should be gone, do you see where there is any movement now?" ”
I pursed my lips and looked down at the water. I had been in that loud sound just now, but now it suddenly became quiet, and I felt very uncomfortable. I asked Liu Shi, "What should I do now, this tree is withstanding the two of us." ”
Liu Dongxi smiled bitterly: "What else can I do, keep digging, let's dig in and try again, if not, think of other ways." ”
I think that's all there is to it, look at this tree, and the weight of the two of us is not enough to be that straw. If you can't do it, you can climb down, the dragon or something is gone, so don't be afraid. As I was looking, I suddenly felt a stinging pain in my neck, and I slapped it, it was a mosquito.
I haven't seen a mosquito since I entered this sinkhole, and I don't know where this mosquito came from. I looked up and shouted to Liu Shiwu to show him, but I heard Liu Shiwu shouting, "Don't move!" ”
I didn't move, I rolled my eyes and saw Liu Shiwu making a very awkward move over there without moving, my heart sank, this is definitely not performance art, this is going to be a problem!
Sure enough, on a big tree in front of Liu Dongxi, a big python was hovering over it, spitting out its core and staring at Liu Dongxi.
My head exploded at once, the injury on the shoulder is not good, this python is so powerful that I have tasted home, this thing is not only infinitely powerful but also very flexible, the scale armor around the body is tough and abnormal, these are enough to give people a headache, the most uncomfortable thing is that we are behind the ground at the moment, although it is not bottomless, but look at the staggered rocks below, it is estimated that it will only fall into the flesh. The front is a python and the back is a ditch, leaving us with only a small space more than one meter wide, which is not enough for the python to stretch his waist.
In fact, this situation is also very tricky for the python, its way to deal with the prey is nothing more than to pounce and bite, or pounce and roll up, no matter which one it is, it is easy to roll down with the prey, and it is estimated that it will not survive with its weight.
Time seemed to freeze, and both sides were desperately thinking about what method to take to attack or dodge, and at this time, I saw that Liu Shixi began to slowly move towards the hollowed-out tree. My eyes lit up, this is really a good place, as long as Liu can hide under it before being attacked, the python will be blind.
At this time, I was standing on both sides of the tree with Liu Dongxi, and I saw that he showed that he wanted to drill under the tree, and also moved back, trying to get out of the attention of the giant python, and be able to respond when he was attacked.
At this time, there was a sound of Suo Suo all around, and I turned my eyes to look around, but unfortunately my eye sockets were too small to contain everything around me.
Liu Dongxi moved very slowly, but it also attracted the attention of the giant python, Liu Dongxi saw that the python was not paralyzed by him, and it was not far away, so he simply lowered his head and drilled under the root of the tree, and the python was attracted by him, but did not pounce directly, but reversed a week on the tree along a wonderful and inexplicable curve, and rushed towards Liu Dongxi like a piece of silk.
Although the speed of the python was extremely fast, it was still a line slower and hit the root of the tree hard. The center of gravity of this tree has been shifted by our digging, and it seems to be stable, but in fact, it is all pulled by the huge root system, and it has long been like a candle in the wind, how can I eat the giant python this plate of bang, only to hear a squeaky sound, accompanied by the tremor of the ground, slowly falling towards the gap.
