320, Thorny Dragon

After we had walked a long way, the old ram still looked at us motionlessly, and walked far until the depths of the snowfield, only to see a row of wooden houses in a circle, and a group of residents who seemed to be aborigines were busy in the patio, and there was no trace of anything unusual. Not even more like the most evil dark wizard in humanity.

When we got closer, one of the middle-aged women in her forties nodded to the regimental commander, turned around and walked inside, the regimental commander followed her, and after a while they reached a dark wooden room in the innermost part, she knocked on the door and said, "Grandpa, the man is back." ”

After a while, an old dragon bell's voice came out: Let them in.

When we entered the room, the temperature suddenly rose, and the beads of sweat on my forehead immediately seeped out, and I saw that the small room was full of strange objects, none of which I had seen in the market, among which there were two bronze objects with the face of a beast that were quite eye-catching, respectively at the head and foot of his bed. Abianyu's blood.

An old man sat at the head of the bed with his eyes slightly closed, and his facial features were not much different from the one I had met before. At first glance, I thought it was the same person, and the head of the regiment said, "Grandpa Fang, I'm back again." ”

The old man moved his head slightly, didn't know whether to nod or shake his head, and said, "This is your friend?" Much younger than you. ”

The head of the regiment said: "Actually, we have just known each other for a short time. ”

The old man sighed. After a long time, I even thought that he was asleep, and this problem was the same as his brother, but I heard him sigh and say: You have come all the way to Tianchi in a vain attempt to assassinate the dragon, are you not afraid of retribution?

I was stupid, and was about to ask him what he meant, when the head of the regiment secretly glanced at me and said, "I won't cultivate the evil sect method for fear of retribution, but old man, we really don't have a plan to kill the dragon, and we don't have such skills." ”

The old man said: "I don't care why you came, even if it is to assassinate the dragon, it has nothing to do with me, I just want to tell you that this is not a place that foreigners can easily enter, I can let you in." It can also make you die, so you'd better not look for trouble. ”

The old man actually threatened us, but looking at his appearance, I knew that he was not a character to be messed with, and the regiment commander said, "Don't worry, we'll leave after we're done." ”

He seemed to be very satisfied with the regiment leader's words, nodded and said: "Since everyone is in the same way, this is your resting place, if you need our help, just ask." ”

The head of the regiment said: "Don't dare to trouble the old man, let's get things done in the next two days and leave." ”

The old man nodded, then waved at us, and the head of the regiment gave me a look∵ and walked out of the house, waiting outside the door, two sturdy men, leading us to another wooden house, on the way I whispered: "Commander, that sheep is so strange, I think it is necessary to investigate." ”

Unexpectedly, these two people's ears are more sensitive than wolves. A man said to me: "I advise you not to provoke that thing, that old ram has become a sperm, I don't know who got it here, there are no grass plants on the snowy mountains, it eats the corpses buried in the soil, and after eating it for more than ten years, it becomes what it is now, if you are stared at by it, it means that it wants to eat you." ”

I felt a chill in my heart and said, "And such a strange goat? ”

The man said, "We have a lot of strange things here, and this sheep is nothing." ”

At this time, another man said coldly: "You still keep your mouth in order, and spit out what you should say and what you shouldn't say." ”

The man who spoke before seemed to be very jealous of him, and then he didn't say a word, and when he arrived at the door of the wooden house, the man said: "This is the house where grandpa gave you a rest, don't run around if you have nothing to do, there are many dogs here, beware of being bitten." ”

The wooden house is also clean, a smell of sandalwood, the bed is a single wooden bunk bed, the head of the regiment said: "I didn't expect to find a place to stay, but this kind of person is very evil, try not to speak, if you have something to say, you have to go out to say." ”

I saw that the head of the regiment said solemnly, nodded and did not say a word since that moment, the same is true of the head of the regiment, and in the early morning of the next day, after getting up, the head of the regiment picked up his bag and said: "Let's go to Tianchi." ”

Out of the door to the west until the afternoon, we arrived at a section of the mountain fault, but the drop is not high, only about three meters, and it is a slope, not far away rippling blue waves, like an emerald lake appeared in our eyelids, is the highest altitude freshwater lake - Tianchi.

There are a lot of legends about Tianchi, and most of them are about Tianchi water monsters, I don't know if there are water monsters in Tianchi before they come, but after the field trip, I think the possibility is still relatively large, because the environment here is very quiet, inaccessible, suitable for the growth of large creatures, and there is a group of dark wizards around, God knows if these monsters are related to them.

But we looked at it condescendingly for a long time, the water surface was as smooth as a mirror, not to mention the dragon, and the fish didn't see a single one, so I said, "If there is a dragon here, then she is too quiet, I don't think it's reliable." ”

The head of the regiment said: "If you think it's reliable, then do you still need to find it?" As soon as he said this, the head of the regiment's face changed, and immediately pressed my head to the ground, only to see a ripple suddenly rise in a piece of water on the left side of Tianchi, and then the ripple became longer and longer, there must be creatures swimming under the water again, and judging from the size of the ripple, this thing is not small. ”

Could it be a dragon? The head of the regiment took out two binoculars from his backpack and handed me one, with this thing I can see much more clearly, the ripples are getting closer to the shore, and then the water splashes, only to see a huge and vicious dog head poking out of the water, it turned out to be a huge dog, this dog is the same as the cat that the old man rides, both have a surprisingly large body, strange hair color, and a fierce expression, especially a pair of blood-red eyes, which makes people feel cold in their eyes.

After a while, the dog touched the shore, the size is really not small, basically like a buffalo, with thick limbs, it is estimated that the adult lion may not be its opponent, I saw it raise its head and roar, the voice was like a muffled thunder, I whispered: "It won't be noticed by it so far away?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw three people come out from behind a huge stone, one of them was the old man who imprisoned us, but today he did not ride the cat, but with a crutch, the dog saw that he lowered his head very tamely, the old man walked around the dog, poked the dog's stomach with a cane, did not speak, turned to look at Tianchi for a long time.

After a long time, the old man opened his mouth and said a few words to the two men, because the distance was too far for us to hear, and then he clapped his palms, and the huge cat came out from behind the boulder, and lay on all fours on the ground, and when the old man sat down, he walked slowly into the woods, and the dog followed all the way.

The two young men took out a huge clay pot, the mouth of the cylinder was sealed with mud, one of them took out an iron rod and knocked the sealed mud open, and suddenly a foul smell filled the heaven and earth, even we could smell it here, I was busy covering my nose and said: "Stinky to death, aren't they going to fertilize?" ”

I saw the two of them carry the clay pot to the waterfront with sad faces, and then dump all the thick porridge inside into the heavenly pool, and then quickly leave the shore and return to the back of the boulder, I know that they are definitely not dumping garbage, but what is the matter?

The head of the regiment lowered his voice and said, "If I'm not mistaken, they are using bait to lure some kind of aquatic creature." ”

I said, "Is it a dragon?" But would dragons eat such foul-smelling things? ”

The head of the regiment said: You and I don't have a clear concept of dragons, maybe the food they eat is very strange or not.

That being said, the dragon never showed up, and after a long time the two men seemed to be impatient and walked out from behind the stones, and cautiously walked to the water's edge to probe their brains to observe, and threw a few more stones into the water, one of them shook his head and said a word, and the two turned and went deep into the snow.

When they were gone, the regiment commander and I got up from the snow, and the regiment commander said, "Let's go over and have a look." ”

Walking to the Tianchi, everything has not changed in the slightest from just now, and there is not even a trace of wind in the quiet between heaven and earth, I said: "If there is really a dragon in Tianchi, at least it will not show up today." ”
