Chapter Twenty-Four: The Turtle
The hill standing in the river suddenly swayed left and right as if it was about to collapse, and the rocks on the mountain began to fall into the water with a clatter, which startled the black knife, and hurriedly held on to the stone table on the top of the mountain to stabilize his body, I don't know what happened. Then a dull roar was heard, and the part of the hill that was lurking at the bottom of the water actually floated above the water.
The black knife couldn't see the whole picture of the mountain from the top of the hill, but we, the landlubbers watching the fire from the other side, saw it clearly: the mountain floating on the water was actually the back of a huge old turtle. It seems to be the reason for the perennial inactivity, the turtle shell is covered with thick stone chips, and it lurks at the bottom of the water and only exposes a little turtle shell on the surface of the water, which at first glance we think is a small hill formed in the water. This turtle is huge, and its whole body is almost full of the river. It seems that he sensed that someone had stolen the sacred object on his back, and he woke up from a thousand-year slumber.
We yelled at Black Knife on the shore to let Black Knife know what creature was under his feet, but the turtle came out of the water and stirred up the whole river in a dark light, splashing and debris, and we were so far away from Black Knife that the noise could not reach Black Knife's ears in the noise.
The turtle seemed to sense that the person who had stolen the artifact was still on his back, swaying from side to side like a louse, as if trying to shake the black knife off his back. Although the tortoise swings slightly, but the stone chips on the turtle's back are shaken into the water by the turtle, the place where the black knife stands becomes a slippery turtle shell, and the whole person is like stepping on a banana peel to stand firmly, originally the black knife was in a hurry to insert his long knife into the turtle shell to stabilize his position, but the turtle shell was hard and abnormal, and the unusually sharp long knife in the black knife's hand was stunned that it could not be inserted into the turtle's home, and it could no longer stabilize the balance of the body, and rolled into the water with the long knife.
The aquatic plants in the water are not as docile as when they just dived into the water, after seeing the black knife fall into the water, a burst of crazy growth, originally only one or two feet long aquatic plants, a few breaths of effort on the crazy growth of three or four times, with the water potential like a spiritual like a spiritual roll towards the black knife.
Although the black knife had just fallen into the water, he couldn't adjust the state of his body in the water for a while, but he vaguely heard something around him rushing towards him, thinking that it was a strange fish in the river chasing after him, where did he dare to slack off, and he took a breath in the dantian, relying on his arm strength for many years, and was stunned to dance a sword light and sword shadow in the water, covering himself inside.
But dancing in the water requires overcoming the huge resistance of the river, and it is impossible to be as easy as on land, and although the situation is temporarily stabilized, it is not a long-term solution at all. And the black knife fell into the water in a panic, there was no chance to adjust his breathing, and the strong breath of aura could not last long, and the speed of the long knife in his hand was getting slower and slower, and he was about to be swept into the bottom of the water by aquatic plants.
But after all, the black knife is the descendant of the Cao Wei period in the mouth of the big sunglasses, and he led the crowd to fight down, responding to every call, and Cao Cao passed on the general seal of the previous Faqiu Zhonglang generals, which is absolutely extraordinary, even if it is a mortal situation, he can find a way to live. Knowing that he was in the underwater panic of a strenuous exercise, the alveoli were about to be suffocated, so he simply tried his best to cut off a few grass vines around him, saw the opportunity to step on a stone drawn from the turtle's back, borrowed a little bit of ingenuity from the stone, and performed a unique skill of floating on the water, and climbed back to the turtle's back in three or two steps.
The smooth operation of the black knife made us landlubbers stunned. If it weren't for the fact that the black knife was still in danger and hadn't escaped, I'm afraid we would all have to clap our hands and cheer. The big sunglasses saw that although the black knife was temporarily out of danger, it was also the most powerful crossbow, and the arrow could not penetrate Lu Min, and it had reached the limit, although it temporarily avoided the situation of certain death, but it was impossible to escape from the turtle's back with the power of the black knife alone, and suddenly had a plan and thought of a way. After fumbling in his bag for a while, he took out a bundle of slender nylon rope, tied it to one end with a flashlight, waved it like a hot wheel, and shouted at the black knife: "Go on! After that, he threw the string-tied flashlight at the black knife.
Hearing the sound of the big sunglasses, the black knife's eyes lit up, and he was just about to take the rope and be dragged back to the shore by us, but he didn't want the turtle floating in the water to see through the idea of the big sunglasses as if he was psychic. The body dived into the water violently, and the black knife on the turtle's back was caught off guard, and he was stumbled, and his fingers and the flashlight thrown out of the big sunglasses were missed. After stumbling and colliding on the turtle's back a few times, the flashlight slid into the water, entangled by the crazy aquatic weeds, and dragged down desperately, as if trying to drag the big sunglasses on the shore into the water.
The black knife, who was originally in despair, saw that the big sunglasses were in a hurry to come up with a trick of throwing the rope to save people, and he trembled with excitement, but he didn't want the turtle on his back to dive his body underwater like a psychic, so that he missed the slightest mistake and missed the rope to save his life. Under the ups and downs, the hard breath of aura in the dantian was completely dispersed, and the mood of the whole person was simply low to the bottom.
But as the saying goes, the blessings and blessings depend on, and the blessings and misfortunes depend on; Although the flashlight was not caught by the black knife, it did not sink directly after falling into the water, but was straightened by the crazy growth of aquatic weeds, forming a slender linear road from the river to the shore. For the black knife that is excellent in light skills and practices kung fu to the depths of the dantian, it is tantamount to a broad road to the door of life.
Just about to raise another breath of spiritual energy to sink into the dantian, perform light skills and step on the nylon rope to cross to the shore, but it seems that the turtle in the river has seen through his mind, and his mouth let out a majestic roar like an old meal, and the crazy aquatic plants in the river stopped growing and swinging in an instant, and the flashlight entangled by the aquatic plants lost its pulling power, and gradually dived into the water, leaving only the nylon rope floating weakly on the water surface.
Seeing that his every move was restricted by the turtle in the river, the black knife simply did not hesitate and gave up the idea of escaping. took out the four night pearls in his arms and a boxy, slate-like thing he touched from the table, and with a force of his arms, he threw a cannonball to the shore like a cannonball, and was picked up by the big sunglasses that he had prepared for a long time, and took four or five steps back to stabilize his body.
I heard the black knife on the turtle's back shouting angrily: "Run away with something!" Leave me alone! "After saying that, I want to jump into the water from the back of the turtle and fight the turtle to delay our escape. But he never thought that the reason why this turtle was awakened was because the divine object on his back was obtained by the black knife. At this time, the artifact on his back was thrown at us by the black knife, out of his control, and the turtle seemed to be completely panicked, and he didn't care about the black knife on his back, and let out a continuous roar.
Suddenly, the aquatic plants in the river began to grow wildly again, and the momentum was so fierce that they actually grew out of the river and rolled in our direction. Not far from the upstream river in the river splash, originally in the natural fountain pillar next to the reluctant to leave the strange fish, at this moment seems to hear the roar of the turtle, fly also along the river swim over, originally these only remaining big monster fish are about two or three meters long, can not climb ashore at all, at this moment have also stepped on the water grass as a springboard, do not want to rush towards us.
