Chapter 31: The Firelight
When those monsters heard the whistle, their movements paused, and they all turned their heads to look at Xia Beifeng.
But they only glanced at him, and they stayed where they were, not knowing what they were fighting against, almost twisting their slender bodies into twists.
"They didn't come ......" Xia Beifeng tilted his head to look at the sparrows, "Why?" ”
"Because you are not as charming as Ah Yu, people love ghosts and ......." The sparrow looked down at the water beneath his feet and replied as a matter of course.
Xia Beifeng glanced down at the knife in his hand. The blade reflected a cold silver light, and some patterns seemed to appear on the rusty blade.
He looked up again at the place where the monsters had gathered. The monsters didn't bother to look at them any more.
In the dim crypt, seven or eight strange snakes were biting something in the air with their mouths wide open, causing the water to splash everywhere.
I never saw Ye Baiyu's figure.
Since he doesn't need me, why did he give me the knife?
Xia Beifeng felt very confused.
The sparrow looked at the water beneath his feet, tilted his head, and blinked.
"Ah Yu said to let you wait here, he wants to come." She suddenly said something to Xia Beifeng.
Xia Beifeng turned his head and looked at the sparrow in surprise.
"Wait!" Sparrow only said this sentence and didn't explain much. Raising his head, he smiled softly at Xia Beifeng. Then he slowly stood up, took a step forward, and left the rock they were on, and fell straight into the water.
Just the moment when her toes touched the water. The beautiful girl quickly turned into a huge white eagle, stretched out her wings, and flew forward against the water.
She quickly disappeared from Xia Beifeng's sight, leaving only a few ripples on the surface of the water that spread slowly.
The white shadow swept across the water like lightning. He leaned not far in front of the group of strange snakes, and he brushed the red eyes of a strange snake. Got into the group of strange snakes.
After more than ten seconds, the group of strange snakes was boiling, and they were desperately waving their tails, scrambling to chase after the new little thing.
Relying on the advantage of his size, the sparrow constantly shuttled between the gaps in the bodies of the monster snakes, leaving a trace of "friendliness" on almost all the basilisks. But he never let the group of strange snakes touch a feather of his own.
Xia Beifeng was far away, and he could only see a white shadow appearing and disappearing for a while, and the speed was so fast that it even dazzled him. And the movements of the group of strange snakes seem to be more and more irritable.
After a few more minutes, the figure of the sparrow appeared in Xia Beifeng's sight again.
She flew quickly in the direction where Xia Beifeng was standing. Behind him was a group of furious snakes.
Xia Beifeng looked at the white bird that was getting closer and closer, and secretly clenched the knife in his hand, holding the blade horizontally in front of him. He took half a step back and tensed his body.
The distance between the sparrow and him is getting closer. It wasn't until Xia Beifeng could clearly see the tiny feather lines on her wings that she suddenly raised the height of her flight and flapped her wings a few times. Fly towards the top of the cave.
The serpents scrambled to straighten their necks and opened their mouths wide to the sky, trying to bite the bird that had teased them for so long on top of their heads.
Xia Beifeng took advantage of this opportunity to jump, waved the long knife in his hand in mid-air, and slashed at the neck of the nearest strange snake in front of him.
Maybe the knife was in a good mood at this moment, and the originally hard scales on the strange snake's body were like paper paste at this time, and they were easily cut through.
The basilisk's neck was thin light-colored scales. It is very soft to the touch. The blade easily broke through the Scales' defenses and got stuck in the flesh of the strange snake. The strange snake immediately shrank its neck in pain. Then he shook his body frantically, trying to shake the knife off his neck.
Xia Beifeng's body hung on the basilisk. Holding the hilt of the knife with both hands, he secretly pushed the blade into the body of the strange snake with all his strength, until he felt that the blade touched the bones of the strange snake and was stuck in its body, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He just hung on the body of the strange snake. Relying only on the hilt of the knife in his hand to support his body, under the interference of the strange snake's frantic writhing body, he carefully found a narrow foothold in the scale gap on the strange snake's body and stepped on it.
Dark, foul blood flowed down the snake's wound and dripped into the water beneath it. It also soaked the clothes on Xia Beifeng's body, which was clinging to it.
Although the clothes were already dirty and could no longer be worn, Xia Beifeng still felt very bad.
He was pressed against the snake's neck. When its movements eased a little, it lifted its legs again, hung in the air, shook its body a few times, and then the inertia swung to the back of the strange snake.
The scales on the back of the strange snake were smoother than those on the neck, shimmering with a faint green luster, and they were tightly packed together one by one, impermeable to the wind.
Xia Beifeng stepped on the back of the strange snake and kept sliding downward. He tried to keep his balance with the snake's movements, and pulled out the knife stuck in its neck, and once again thrust it into the back of its neck, fixing his position.
The strange snake writhed wildly in pain again, its long tail slapping against the water, making a big splash.
Its companions seemed to notice the strangeness of its body, and they lowered their heads and shook their heads to search for foreign objects on its back.
A strange snake was the first to spot the summer north wind. It slowly grew its mouth, showing its sharp teeth at Xia Beifeng, and it seemed that it was preparing to bite its companion.
The sparrow came out of nowhere, and slipped around the group of strange snakes, attracting the attention of these monsters very quickly.
She passed through the mouth of the strange snake with its mouth open, and flipped its body and flew upwards.
The strange snake subconsciously bit when it felt the sparrow flying by.
Of course, once again bites an empty bite.
The sparrow glanced at Xia Beifeng proudly and raised his flight altitude.
The snakes began to chase the sparrows in the sky again, but they didn't have time to pay attention to the summer north wind on their companions for the time being.
All that was left was the slashed snake still shaking its body frantically, trying to shake off what it was carrying on its back.
Xia Beifeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He grabbed the hilt of the knife in his hand again, and kicked the body of the strange snake under his feet hard. Flipped his body into the air.
He released the hilt of the knife with both hands and made a freefall motion in the air. When he fell again, he was already standing on top of the serpent's head.
The strange snake was stepped on the top of his head by his heavy foot, and he was stunned for a moment as if he couldn't react. But then it craned its neck and began to shake its head violently, trying to shake the person above it away.
But the moment it was stunned was enough for Xia Beifeng to pull out the knife. Insert the knife into its Celestial Spirit Cover again.
When the strange snake raised its head, the summer north wind just happened to slide down its back. The knife in his hand remained stuck in the body of the strange snake, sliding down with him. It left a long knife in the back of the strange snake.
The movement of the strange snake shaking its head came to an abrupt halt when the summer north wind passed through a certain part of its body. It continued to tilt its neck, its triangular head lingering in mid-air for a moment, and its entire body collapsed with a thud.
The wound on its back then gushed out a large amount of dirty blood and landed in the river, forming a black rain of blood in the air.
Xia Beifeng slid down the smooth scales of the strange snake to the surface of the water, stepped on its tail and strode to the side, returning to the rock where he had just been with the sparrow.
It's good for mental health. Even if it's my safety, I really don't want to go into the water anymore.
He looked up at the blood droplets falling from the sky and sighed to himself.
The sparrow's white figure flashed in the air again, successfully attracting the attention of the snakes to her once more.
Xia Beifeng was free and began to think about an important question.
What the hell is Ye Baiyu doing?
Of course, the snakes didn't give him more time to think about this problem, and after the sparrows disappeared, several snakes began to chase the summer north wind again.
As he pondered the question, he reached out to block a snake head that was biting at him.
A strange snake's teeth slammed into the blade. There was a crunch.
Half of the blackened fangs were shattered into the air, cutting through an arc. "Plop" fell into the water.
Xia Beifeng turned his hand and slashed the blade in the air in an arc, and the sword wind drove away several giant snakes that approached him for a moment.
But soon, the giant snakes came over again.
Xia Beifeng took half a step back, and the standing knife cut between the eyes of a giant snake, directly giving its head a split.
Even the brains of the giant snake were black and white. Like the serpent before, its head remained in the air for a moment. only to slowly fall.
and almost hit his companion next to him.
After Xia Beifeng cut the snake, he didn't stop, slashed the knife in the air for half a circle, and picked the tip of the knife backwards.
A giant snake that circled behind him at some point happened to be slashed through the jaw by the knife, and began to roll in the water in pain.
Xia Beifeng smiled. Turning around is another knife. Blocked a snake's tail. However, just as he ran out of strength, just as he was regaining momentum, another snake tail whistled towards him.
Without thinking about it, he directly squatted down and rolled on the ground twice, and narrowly dodged the attack of the snake tail. Before he could stabilize his figure, he immediately put the knife above his head, barely resisting the fangs of another giant snake.
A white trail flashed through the air, and the tip of the sparrow's wings slashed quickly before the serpent's eyes.
One of the serpent's eyes burst open, and black blood gushed down his eyelids, and a stream flowed into the water.
The serpent winced in pain, then quickly turned its head and bit hard at the sparrow behind it.
Half a white feather slowly fell from the sky. The sparrow brushed the hollow eye sockets of the serpent, and flew high again, and in the blink of an eye it did not know where to hide.
Xia Beifeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the sparrow in his heart. He stood up and re-grasped the knife in his hand.
Although the knife in his hand was very sharp now, the monster was too powerful, and Xia Beifeng only collided with it head-on a few times, and his arm lost consciousness.
He felt like he was holding the knife, but he wasn't sure it. While paying attention to the movements of the strange snakes around him, he secretly glanced down at his right hand.
There were no wounds on the hands. It's just that there seems to be a little blood oozing from the tiger's mouth.
Xia Beifeng gritted his teeth, shook the hand holding the knife twice, and finally felt the existence of his arm a little bit, and the wound on the tiger's mouth began to hurt.
He raised his head and smiled at the three remaining giant snakes in front of him, held the knife across his chest, and said, "Come on." Let Dad, I teach you what it means to die honestly, don't toss around. ”
Although he said it sounded quite "handsome...... The three serpents didn't have time to take care of him. They lowered their heads at the same time as he spoke, looking at the river below them.
Xia Beifeng finally posed, and said something that he felt very powerful. As a result, he didn't expect that it was really just talking, and his opponent actually ignored him.
He had nowhere to vent his blood, so he sighed depressedly, slammed his knife into the rocks underground, and looked down at the river with the three giant snakes.
Something seems to be rising in the depths of the river. It emitted a faint blue glow, and it even looked a little dreamy under the reflection of the water waves. As the thing got closer and closer to the water. Little by little, the river lit up.
The dark cavern almost illuminated was like daylight, but the color was a little stranger.
"You're finally here!"
Xia Beifeng hugged his arms and said weakly to the blue light below the river.
Before he could finish speaking, the three giant snakes began to wriggle frantically as if they had suddenly reacted, and wagged their tails to escape from the blue light.
Unfortunately, it was too late, and the blue light sped up as they moved, and in the blink of an eye, it rose to the surface of the river.
A small flame first erupted on the surface of the river. Then it spread rapidly, and in an instant it spread into a large blue fire. Spread all over the river.
Xia Beifeng stood on the rock, looking at the faint blue flame under his feet with an expressionless face.
Tongues of fire danced and grazed the serpent's body, and as soon as the slightest spark touched their scales, it immediately clung to it like maggots on tarsal bones, and no matter how much the serpent struggled, it could not shake off the flames on its body. On the contrary, the more you throw it, the more you throw it.
Not to mention the strange color of the flame, the effect does not look like fire, but more like some kind of corrosive chemical. As long as it touches the body of the giant snake, it will immediately open a large hole in the giant snake's body, revealing the white bones inside.
Even the bones slowly melted into jet-black blood under the "warmth" of Mars.
The three serpents struggled for a while. Eventually, he lost his strength, and one by one he fell into the water, making a loud noise.
Xia Beifeng raised his eyebrows and looked at the figure in the center of the three strange snakes.
Ye Baiyu stood in the middle of the river. I don't know what he was stepping on, so he was always a little away from the water, swaying slowly on the surface of the river.
Whether it was the blood that fell from the dead serpent, or the river water that splashed when the serpent fell, it was bounced open by some invisible barrier on his side, and slowly fell into the river along the arc of the barrier.
His eyes were closed, his body swaying gently with the waves, and his long hair fluttering behind his back. The faint blue light of the fire reflected on his face, making his face a strangely pale.
It's like a ghost.
The sparrow flew down from there again, hovering a few times above Ye Baiyu's head, as if it wanted to land on him. But when it touched his shoulder, it shrank suddenly, as if it had been burned by something, and quickly left his side.
Flapping his wings, he flew in the direction of the summer north wind.
The sparrow lightly landed on Xia Beifeng's shoulder, raised a paw and stretched it out in front of his eyes.
It was pitch black on the paws, like burnt chicken paws.
Although it is understandable that the sparrow is probably in pain now, Xia Beifeng still can't help but laugh.
The sparrow flailed its wings angrily.
Half a feather is missing from the tips of the wings.
Xia Beifeng laughed even harder.
Ye Baiyu in the middle of the river slowly opened his eyes. His dark eyes reflected the faint blue firelight, and he looked a little cold.
