Chapter 44: Breaking Free
The moment the restraints on his body were loosened, Xia Beifeng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Then there was a strange cry of pain.
When the beast wandered away, he didn't forget to hook his paws and take a few pieces of meat off his body.
Large clumps of blood gushed out of the wound~ and melted into the water without a trace.
The black dragon left his tiny human behind, and in the blink of an eye he scurried to the stick, smashing and slamming into the rock walls around it with a roar.
The chains hit each other with a continuous crunching sound. There was a muffled "boom" sound from the depths of the stone wall, and the stones under his feet shook very violently, and everything around him was shaky, as if it could collapse at any moment.
Obviously, when the black dragon was playing with Xia Beifeng with its tail just now, it didn't use much strength at all. If it had used such a force to hit the wall now, Xia Beifeng would have already been drawn into a few knots by it and turned into a dead man.
But even with all the strength it had exerted now, the black stick was still stuck in the stone wall, not moving.
It's like a root, and I haven't even shaken it.
It's called "I'm standing still."
Xia Beifeng smiled bitterly.
The firefly that had slipped away faster than anyone else before slowly fell back to Xia Bei's side, and circled around him a few times, as if expressing concern.
"I just ran away and didn't see a shadow, and now I'm wagging my tail again, I should say something good about you!" Xia Beifeng sighed and stretched out a hand at it: "The big guy before was also provoked by you who had nothing to provoke." Otherwise, we wouldn't have found the Book of Heaven, and we would have gone back by now, and I wouldn't have to lie here half-dead...... Do you think this is good, I'll strangle you to death when I go back, how about it? ”
The firefly seemed to understand him, and flatteringly shook him twice, landing on the side of the wound on his shoulder.
A bone-piercing chill came from the wound, and he couldn't help but feel cold.
He turned his head to see that there was already a blur of flesh and blood on his shoulder, and four deep blood holes were evenly distributed on his shoulder, faintly revealing the white bones below.
"This beast's claws are really sharp!"
He sighed quietly and reached out to touch the wound.
The wound had been covered with a thin layer of ice ballast, soaked with blood from the wound, glowing with a little pink. The blood is no longer gushing out~ out, and even the feeling of pain is a little numb because of the cold.
"You're still using it!" Xia Beifeng glanced at the blue flame that fell on another wound on his chest, and said reluctantly: "Since it can still be of some use, let's let you go for the time being." Next time you dare to escape, I will definitely shoot you to death, you know? ”
The flame trembled slightly, and then rushed towards the wound on his big~ leg, full of dog's legs.
Xia Beifeng lay on the stones at the bottom of the water, looking up at the black dragon who was constantly working hard above.
The black dragon is really like the myth and legend, and it can be big and small. After realizing that the impact alone had no effect on the stick, it took a different approach, shrinking its body to the size of a water snake and wrapping it around the stick in an attempt to pull it off.
The stick remained unmoved, firmly embedded in the stone wall.
Then the black dragon grew bigger again, tilted his head and bit the stick, moving his body up and down.
It's like ......
I just didn't have any eyes to look at it anymore.
Xia Beifeng silently covered his eyes, and couldn't bear to look at the poor black dragon again.
The relatively large wounds on the body have been treated, and the bleeding has stopped. In addition to the small wounds scratched by the dragon scales, there are still some crispy ~ numb itches, and the pain in other places has gradually subsided. The cold feeling seeped into the wound, not only did it not hurt, but it was somewhat refreshing.
He leaned on the stone beneath him and sat up slowly.
The feeling of being wound and squeezed by his body before seemed to stay on his body, lingering, giving him the illusion that the joints of his limbs were misaligned.
The black dragon above his head had already begun to spit fire and roast iron sticks.
"Brother Long above, if I were you, I would find a way to take off the lock on my body." Xia Beifeng raised his head, looked at the black dragon, and whispered: "That is, it hurts for a while, at least you don't have to stumble against a broken stick." ”
It is not easy to make a sound underwater, and the water stirred by the black dragon when it spits fire is full of the sound of bubbles bursting. Xia Beifeng's voice was so small that almost except for himself, only the spark leaning beside him could be heard.
He just had nothing to do to tease, but he didn't expect the black dragon to really stop his movements after he finished saying this.
The crimson dragon's eyes stared at him again, bringing him a great sense of oppression.
The other seemed to be scrutinizing him, wondering whether his words could be trusted.
I could actually see what a dragon was trying to say in its eyes...... I really don't know if I'm crazy or if the world is crazy.
Xia Beifeng shook his head, away from the black dragon's sight, and slowly climbed up along the stone wall.
"Brother Long, you work hard, little brother, I'll go first."
He muttered quietly, glancing back behind him.
The black dragon's eyes were still staring at him without blinking.
"You can try, and if you succeed, don't thank me." He immediately turned his head, stared at a complex text on the stone wall in front of him, and said quickly: "I am a good person, do good deeds without leaving a name, please don't take me to heart...... You don't have to send me off, I'll just go by myself. ”
The black dragon slowly lowered his head, twisted his body again, and began to struggle violently.
This time it had a clear purpose, and it was no longer running around like a headless fly like before.
It turned its neck, straightened the chain around its neck, and pulled it hard, trying to pull it out of its body~
I don't know how deep the chain was inserted into its body, and when it was pulled out of its body little by little with its movements~, there was a sound of flesh tearing.
Large balls of blood gushed out from the wound on the black dragon's neck~, and when it touched the surrounding water, it made a piercing sound like boiling water falling into the oil pot.
It turns out that the dragon's blood is also red...... It's still hot!
Xia Beifeng couldn't help but smack his tongue slightly.
The temperature of the surrounding water rose rapidly again, and this time there was nothing that could be done with the flames attached to the body. It also clings to the skin of the summer north wind, and the color becomes more and more dull, almost transparent.
The hot dragon's blood spread rapidly in the water, with a scorching temperature, dyeing the surrounding water a faint pink.
A huge wound was torn open on the black dragon's neck, revealing a piece of Yin ~ red bone under the broken flesh.
It shook its body a few times~ and several broken dragon scales fell from above and smashed on the stones at the bottom of the water, making a few muffled sounds.
The black dragon's painful roar continued to echo underwater, and its long tail swept back and forth across the stone walls on both sides, smashing into chaos underwater.
Xia Beifeng could only stop his movements, reluctantly hanging on the stone wall, waiting for it to finish going crazy before leaving.
After all, the accidental injury is not a joke, looking at its posture, if it is whipped by a tail now, it is estimated that it will die directly.
As the iron chain was withdrawn from the black dragon's body little by little, Xia Beifeng, who was watching from the sidelines, also saw some clues.
The iron chain was directly inserted ~ into the depths of the black dragon's body and buckled on one of its neck bones.
What the black dragon was doing at this time was to pull the chain out of the body along with the severed neck bone, and it was conceivable how much pain it could be.
This ~damn~ is no longer as simple as a strong man breaking his wrist, this matter is a strong man's beheading!
He looked up at the dragon's blood falling like a torrential rain above, and subconsciously touched the back of his neck.
He didn't know what about the dragon, but as a human, if he grabbed a piece of cervical vertebrae from his neck, he would be paralyzed even if he didn't die.
No wonder it hadn't thought about it before, if it did this, the chain could be made, and it was estimated that it would be a matter if it was still alive.
From this point of view, Brother Long, you are really a strong man.
Of course, the black dragon couldn't hear this strange praise in his heart. In just a few minutes, it had pulled the chained neck bone out of its body. Half of the red bone showed its body, and the other half remained beneath its scales. The previous wound enlarged again, and the blood near the wound gushed outward in large strands with its movements.
The black dragon seemed to have lost his strength, paused his movements, and let himself slowly sink to the bottom.
The iron chain on its body made a loud "boom" the moment it relaxed, and it fell heavily on the stone slab at the bottom of the water.
The black dragon at the bottom of the water also fell exhausted, curled up, lying on the stone slab and breathing violently.
Strings of bubbles emerge from its nostrils, rising some distance before being crushed by the water with a "click".
Gave up? Or is it dead?
Xia Beifeng glanced at the black dragon lying under the water like a dead dog in surprise.
Its body rose and fell slowly, its eyes half-open and half-closed, and the tip of its tail flicked occasionally, pumping against the stone wall next to it, bringing a silent streak of water.
It doesn't seem to be dead yet.
Xia Beifeng breathed a sigh of relief and whistled at the firefly attached to his forearm.
"The big guy is tired, let's take this opportunity to go."
The firefly had shrunk into a small point of light before because of the black dragon's shock, and when it heard Xia Beifeng's words, it didn't react, just stuck to Xia Beifeng's arm motionlessly.
"If you're still alive, you'd be able to move!" Xia Beifeng chuckled and said, "Pretending to be dead like this, Ye Baiyu will talk about me again when I turn around...... I brought you a living creature, how could you die in such a short time! ”
He learned Ye Baiyu's underwhelming tone, and in the end, he couldn't help laughing.
"Hey!" He shook his arm: "What the hell is wrong with you?" ”
The cold fireflies are still playing dead.
Xia Beifeng didn't bother to care about it, and went directly upstream along the surrounding stone walls.
The black dragon under the water may have had enough rest, and just as he was about to leave the dangerous waters with the stick stuck in the stone, it roared violently below.
"Brother Long, come on, I support you spiritually!" He gave a thumbs up to the bottom, avoided the stick that looked very suspicious at first glance, stuck it on the stone wall on the other side, and shouted at the black dragon: "As for behavior, you see that we are not very familiar with us, so forget it." ”
It's not an online novel, so you can avoid it if you are troublesome or something. If you release a short-tempered beast in such a ghost place, it will not recognize you as the master.
Besides, I can't afford it.
Despite the thought that "it's best not to cause trouble", he still couldn't hold back and glanced at the iron rod.
The stick was stuck deep in the stone, and it was impossible to see how long the part that was inserted into the stone was, only the part that was exposed.
It was a metal stick about a meter long and pure black. There is also a dragon carved on the stick with teeth and claws, and the upper part is sunk into the stone wall and cannot be seen, only the lifelike tail of the dragon half hidden in the water. The dragon's body was surrounded by clouds and mist, and its tail was immersed in the rough sea.
Although only half of it is exposed, it is quite similar to the carving.
Xia Beifeng glanced down at the black dragon lying on the bottom of the water, and the tip of its tail flicking back and forth.
It's almost like the dragon carved on the stick in the same mold.
Occasionally, you can see countless dense small words flashing on the stick. But when I turned my head and changed the angle, I couldn't see anything.
The small characters are exactly the same as the characters on the stone wall, but the pen should have been carved by a different person. But for Xia Beifeng, it is not much different, it is still complicated and obscure.
Anyway, it's not something that humans in modern society can understand.
After the black dragon below roared a few times, he used his strength again, pulling the iron chain between the bone connecting him and the iron rod inserted ~ into the wall.
The jumping straight iron chain was loosened in an instant, and Xia Beifeng heard a crisp sound of fractures coming from below.
No way! I really let it pull it off!
Xia Beifeng was dumbfounded and looked back at the black dragon again,
Most of the cervical vertebrae were exposed on the outside of its neck, and now it was still frantically gushing out~ blood.
It's just that the iron chain that was tightly fastened to its bones has been completely pulled out at this time~ out.
The chain lay quietly beside the black dragon, and on the top hung a small round lock that shimmered with golden light.
It was this lock, which was later praised by many people as small and exquisite, that trapped this fierce black dragon underwater, and I don't know how many years have passed.
The black dragon looked up at Xia Beifeng, and his eyes showed a kind of stinginess in his eyes, "Hurry up, I'm too lazy to bother with a stupid human like you".
The ground around him shook violently.
It's not the same as the vibration generated when the black dragon is crazy and generally hits the wall before, and this time the vibration is very reliable at first glance.
The stone wall beneath his hands and the stone slabs below trembled rhythmically, as if the place was about to collapse.
The black dragon gasped a few times on the ground, and then looked up at Xia Beifeng again.
According to the normal script, if the seal is broken, the cage should collapse.
"Oh, I see, I'll leave right away!" Xia Beifeng nodded quickly, and climbed up even faster: "Don't bother you, you take your time." ”
The black dragon raised his head, watching Xia Beifeng and the two leave, and slowly sorted out the scales scattered around him.
After finishing the scales, the black dragon tilted his head and shook his body.
Bone misalignment...... Ah no, the sound of bone reset sounded from underwater, and the "crackling" made Xia Beifeng tremble.
The black dragon actually twisted his body and forcibly moved back the neck bone that was pulled out of his body.
Brother Long, shouldn't you come back to your senses and chase me?
Xia Beifeng was stunned by his own idea, and subconsciously looked away.
He looked at the iron rod stuck in the stone wall.
The stick was somehow, it was still so strong just now, and it didn't move in the stone, but after Xia Beifeng glanced at him, it began to slide from the stone wall by itself.
What is this for, because the locked things run away on their own, and they are useless?
Xia Beifeng looked at the iron rod suspiciously, and the ghost envoy stretched out a hand towards it.
The stick seemed to sense something, and after shaking it twice, it flew out of the stone wall with a "whoosh" sound, and flew in the direction of Xia Beifeng.
The roar around was louder, and the small underground water seemed to be about to collapse.
