Chapter 5: The Xuanwu Divine Beast
【Lanling City Nangong Mansion】
After tossing for most of the night, Bai Luohan slept until noon on the second day. After a brief freshening up, he went out and walked straight towards Nangong Li's other garden.
"Bai Gongzi is early!" Yesterday the little maid saw him coming, so she pursed her lips and smiled at him.
"Well, is Childe in there?" Although Bai Luohan often laughed with the maids in the house on weekdays, the incident yesterday still haunted his heart, so he simply responded and walked towards the house.
"Childe, he's going out early in the morning!" The little maid called out to him.
"He's alone?" Bai Luohan turned around and asked.
"No, I went out with Qin Shaoge." The little maid replied.
"What?" Bai Luohan said in shock, "Did they say where they went?" ”
The little maid thought for a while and said, "It seems that I heard from the child... I'm going to enjoy the flowers or something. ”
Hearing this, Bai Luohan suddenly felt inexplicably irritable in his heart. "South... Palace... Leave! What the hell are you doing? ”
【Three Thousand Miles of Peach Forest in the Dead Mountain】
"Although it is called a mountain, it is not a mountain in its sense, but this continuous hill in the north of the ancient country of Rakshasa. Therefore, the peach blossoms bloom all year round, and there is a great aura, so the Rakshasa people respect it as a mountain. Nangong said to Qin Fangsu as he walked, "The former Rakshasa was also a great power in the north, but after it was destroyed three hundred years ago, all that was left was this piece of scorched earth and corpses with nowhere to return, so it was recorded as a ghost domain by later generations. ”
Qin Fangsu untied the rope, handed the water bladder to Nangong Li, and said with a smile, "I thought you were joking that day!" So in that case, why haven't we seen the mythical beast you talked about last time all the way? ”
Nangong Li took the water bladder and said with a wicked smile: "That's naturally to scare you, that's why it's nonsense!" ”
Hearing this, Qin Fangsu smiled helplessly...
The two of them talked and laughed as they walked along the petal-covered path until a cave appeared in front of them.
I saw that the entrance of the cave was about seven feet wide, and the walls of the cave were covered with thick moss.
"Is it in there?" Qin Fangsu asked.
"Hmm." Nangong left the road.
"Then I'll fetch it." After speaking, Qin Fangsu walked towards the entrance of the cave.
But Nangong Li stopped him with one hand, and said with a smile: "It's better for me to go, you just wait for me here." ”
Then he turned and jumped into the cave...
Nangong Li walked deeper and deeper along the rock wall, and in the cave that should have been pitch black, the whole cave was transparent and bright because of the spiritual powder covered on the rock wall, and he walked until he reached the bottom of the cave, and he stopped...
He looked into the cave, and saw that the cave at the bottom of the cave was wide, which was still more than enough to accommodate 10,000 people, and there were countless stone stalactites of different sizes hanging upside down on the top of the cave, and the scenery was very unique.
But he clearly didn't have the heart to enjoy the view, his eyes were firmly fixed on the sleeping creature in the center of the cave.
I saw that he took out a spirit talisman painted with a strange pattern from between his clothes, and unlike the one that Bai Luohan picked up casually that night, this time the pattern was red, as if it was drawn with blood.
Nangong Li first estimated the distance, and then used his internal force to throw the spirit rune in his hand towards the creature's head...
"Bang!"
After a loud bang, the fire flew everywhere...
The stalactites on the roof of the cave were shaken down by the explosion and smashed down on the thing...
"Boom!"
Dozens of stalactites smashed heavily on that thing, and suddenly, the smoke of gunpowder filled the air...
Nangong Li stood in the distance, quietly staring at the smoke that filled the air...
"Bang!"
Inside the gunsmoke, something slowly stood up, and after shaking off the gravel on his body, he turned his head to Nangong Li.
I saw that the thing was more than eight feet tall, and it was wearing armor, and there was a unicorn-like tail dragging behind it.
Fang Cai's movement obviously annoyed it, and after identifying its initiator, it rushed straight in the direction of Nangong Li.
I don't know if it's because this thing is bulky or because of Fang Cai's attack, but it's not very fast. Although Nangong Li's body is not very good, he can barely dodge.
"Bang!" That thing swooped down...
After Nangong Li dodged Fang Cai's impact, he quickly ran towards a stone pillar in front of him...
But how could that thing let him go so easily, I saw it turn around, and after reconfirming Nangong Li's position, it rushed towards him again...
Nangong Li ran to the stone pillar, stretched out his hand and firmly fixed a spirit talisman on the stone pillar, then immediately turned around, and after deftly dodging the attack of the thing, he ran towards the other stone pillar...
And so it was repeated several times...
Just as he had secured the last talisman to the stone pillar, a huge tail flicked into his chest, slamming him into the stone wall in the distance.
"Poof!" Nangong Li spat out a mouthful of blood.
At the same time, the spirit runes that he had fixed on those stone pillars suddenly reflected on each other, forming a huge six-pointed torch array, and the fire light instantly devoured the thing alive, and only the thing could be heard letting out a roar of pain.
Nangong Li gasped for breath while staring at the movement in the torch array.
Gradually, the roar slowly faded with the firelight, leaving only a burned black corpse that was still smoking.
Nangong Li just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, when he saw the pitch-black thing, his eyes rolled and glared at him.
Without time for him to think for a moment, the thing rushed towards Nangong Li again with its pitch-black scorched shell.
The blow to Fang's chest, combined with the impact after hitting the ground, made him stumble a little, and he couldn't dodge, so he could only watch as the thing pounced on him.
Just as the thing was about to bite him, a man rushed up from a distance and hugged him, and then the two rolled to the other side of the stone wall.
Qin Fangsu leaned over Nangong Li, and after confirming that he was safe and sound, he hurriedly stood up...
I saw him pull out his long sword, and conjure up countless sword spirits, stabbing towards that thing one after another...
But unexpectedly, those sword spirits just touched the side of that thing, as if they had been absorbed, and disappeared without a trace...
The Imperial Spirit Sword Technique is the Qin family's high-level swordsmanship, and hitting one is already fatal, and it is impossible to hit all of them, but they are still unharmed, unless...
"It's... Mythical beasts? Qin Fangsu thought to himself.
The divine beast is originally born from the aura of all things in heaven and earth, so the spiritual power is harmless to the divine beast.
Qin Fangsu suddenly understood... Why did Nangong Li stop him at the entrance of the cave.
Without allowing him to hesitate for a moment, the beast rushed towards them again, as if to bite the two of them alive.
At this time, Qin Fangsu was a little embarrassed, because with his body, it was more than enough to dodge this blow, but if he dodged, what should the person behind him dodge?
Seeing this, Qin Fangsu changed the long sword he was holding in one hand to holding it with both hands, and at the moment when the divine beast opened its big mouth and bit him, he inserted the blade of the sword deep between its tooth sockets, and pressed the hilt against its paw, forcing it to be unable to close its mouth.
"Whew! Oh! The beast screamed heartbreakingly, twisting its body as if intending to throw the man between its teeth away.
Qin Fangsu suppressed the sword body with all his strength, and shouted at Nangong Li: "Run!" ”
Hearing this, Nangong Li was slightly stunned, then got up and ran, but instead of running towards the entrance of the cave, he ran in the direction of Qin Fangsu.
Seeing this, Qin Fangsu was shocked.
I saw Nangong Li holding a spirit rune, inserting his entire arm into the throat of this divine beast, and threw the spirit rune into it without hesitation...
"Bang!"
Flames poured out from the throat of the divine beast, and the heat wave swept Nangong Li out, seeing that he was about to hit the stone wall again, but he was firmly dragged by a person and held tightly in his arms.
The raging flames burned the inner body of the beast to pieces, but the outer shell was still intact, and as a result, it fell down violently.
"Bang!"
Nangong Li motioned for Qin Fangsu to put him down, and then staggered towards the corpse.
He pulled out the sword still stuck in its mouth, pierced its eyeball, and gouged out his eyeball.
"Oh, you're here!" Nangong Li stretched out his hand, handed the eyeball to Qin Fangsu, and said with a smile.
Qin Fangsu was stunned, then shook off his hand and said angrily:
"You knew it was dangerous, so you just came in alone!"
Because Nangong Li didn't tell him at all, this Xuan Yu was the eyeball of this Xuanwu Divine Beast, so how could he not be angry now.
"Then you can't blame me, if you want to blame it, it's so thick, even the ghost flame charm can't be broken!" Nangong Li said with an aggrieved face.
"You have a reason, don't you?" Qin Fangsu said angrily.
"Okay, people know it's wrong, and they won't dare next time." Nangong Li tugged at the corner of his clothes and said coquettishly.
Seeing that Qin Fangsu didn't take care of himself, Nangong Li leaned against his chest and said, "Fang Su... My hands hurt so much..."
When he put his arm into the mouth of the divine beast earlier, he was cut by its sharp teeth, and because the blood had not soaked into its coat before, Qin Fangsu did not notice that he was injured.
But now, the blood was slowly flowing down his arm, and half of his sleeve was dyed bright red.
Seeing this, Qin Fangsu first used his spiritual power to temporarily stop the bleeding, and then carefully hugged him into his arms, and said, "Let's go back." ”
