Chapter 187: A New Journey
Although the bluestone turtles have a great advantage, their prey is too tenacious, and no matter how many times they successfully injure him with a siege and sneak attack, he still stands tall and continues to resist.
Seeing that the delicious food brought to their mouths could not be enjoyed, the bluestone turtles began to slowly become impatient, and they planned to use their last trick to solve it quickly. This move is called the Mixed Element Tortoiseshell, and it is a tactic that they only use when they come out in groups to forage for food, and they will concentrate the power of their companions to form a cyclone, in which they will collide with each other with great power and hit their opponents with great power.
Their shells are rock-solid, and they have serrations around the edges of their shells, and when they rotate quickly, their bodies turn into a circular saw, not to mention the flesh and skin, which can be sawn through even armor. Even if you don't get hit by it, the vortex in the water caused by this powerful spinning force will make it difficult for your opponent to get your balance right, and it will be easy to succeed as long as you continue to attack.
These bluestone turtles were like a negotiation, and suddenly stopped directly attacking Ouyang Xiaoleng with their claws, he was feeling a little strange how these guys could stop, but he soon noticed the change in the water flow around him. The cyclone formed by the bluestone ghosts in the water is like a large net, and he is the prey in their net. He watched as they each folded their four legs and began to spin in place, before one of them jerked away and slammed into the other.
I only heard a bang, and the bluestone turtle that was hit flew towards Ouyang Xiaoleng. He had to dodge to the side, although he was not injured, but he was still hit by the huge vortex caused by it beside him and almost fell, and before he could stand firmly, another spinning bluestone turtle flew over again, he could only find a way to dodge left and right, but he became more and more passive.
Sometimes, the more you reach the end of the road, the more powerful it will explode in an instant. He remembered that he had encountered his flying shield in the battle with Yasha, and the principle and attack line of the flying shield were the same as this turtle shell, but at that time, he relied on Tai Chi swordsmanship on land, and broke his flying shield with strength, and this time the same move could form the same power underwater.
First of all, the biggest problem with using this kind of sword technique underwater is that if you want to borrow force, you have to make your feet stand as firmly as possible, and only in this way can you make the waist part of your body an axis, and drive your body up and down to make the movements more coherent, and the more coherent the movements, the greater the borrowed power. Ouyang Xiaoleng didn't know what the consequences would be after beating these turtle shells out, but he felt that no matter what his thoughts were at this time, it was worth trying.
He concentrated, unaffected by the psychological effects of his previous long period of disadvantage, and then tied his feet to stabilize his center of gravity, and his hands clenched at the same time, ready to meet another round of challenges from the bluestone turtle.
After a bang, the largest of the bluestone turtles flew sideways towards him, he thought to himself that maybe he was too lucky at the beginning after entering the god domain, so his luck would become a little bad at this time, he had just come up with a way to deal with these bluestone turtles effectively, and he happened to run into its big guy. But on second thought, if this trick had an effect on it, then the rest of the ones would be even less terrible, and he would have to win the battle anyway.
He concentrated his strength on his hands, like a tightened bow, ready to fire, watching the mixed tortoise shell sweep towards him with a whirlpool in the water, considering that the current would slow him down, so he deliberately exerted his strength earlier than when he was on land, and the sword he picked up was like a bat, and the bluestone turtle swirled and struck back. The bluestone turtle that lost its direction actually crashed into its small companion, and although their shell was very hard, it still knocked each other unconscious, and the slightly smaller bluestone turtle fell to the ground with its belly facing the sky.
Without it, the cyclone formed by the bluestone turtle was much weaker, and after successfully finding a way to carve them, Ouyang Xiaoleng's momentum was completely different from just now, and he had quickly changed from passive to active. The bluestone turtle tried their stunt mixed yuan tortoise shell a few more times, but they all failed, not only that, but also injured several of their companions, and in desperation, they had no choice but to give up Ouyang Xiaoleng's delicacy and swim away.
If it weren't for the underwater, Ouyang Xiaoleng really wanted to shout loudly, getting rid of these difficult bluestone turtles would mean that he was one step closer to him leaving the Divine Domain smoothly, but he immediately thought that he had been delayed by them for so long that there was no time. He ran forward as fast as he could, not in the mood to enjoy the scenery beside him, and when he went ashore, he looked around for the gate opened by the Silver Fox Divine Monarch, praying that it would not be closed.
The silver light from the gate was so dazzling that he could still see it from afar, and he ran towards it, and as it dimmed, he leapt up and flew out of the door just as it was about to disappear.
Ouyang Hongye refused to return to the house, but stayed in the courtyard of Ouyang's ancient mansion. Time passed minute by minute, and his heart seemed to be tightened by a big hand, this is a torment that even if he is anxious in his heart, he can't do anything to change the status quo, Dong Muya can't help but feel heartache for him in his eyes.
"An hour is coming soon, why hasn't Xiao Leng come back yet?!"
Ouyang Hongye had repeated this sentence countless times, Dong Muya walked up to him and put her hand on his shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, he will definitely be able to come back within the specified time!" ”
Who knew that an hour had come, and Ouyang Xiaoleng's figure still didn't appear in that silver light. Ouyang Hongye's nervousness had reached the point where there was nothing to add, and he wished that he could enter the door that led to the Divine Domain. He asked, "Do you see that the light is getting dimmer?" Or am I hallucinating? ”
At this moment, Dong Muya didn't know how to comfort him, and just when she was at a loss, Ouyang Xiaoliang suddenly jumped out of the silver light that was about to disappear. He took out the seeds of the Night Bodhi Tree from his pocket and spread out his palms to show her and Ouyang Hongye.
"You did!" Ouyang Hongye said with relief, and then hugged Ouyang Xiaoleng's shoulders and slapped him on the back a few times, which was completely subconscious and caught Ouyang Xiaoleng off guard.
"I want to rush to the Earth Temple as soon as possible, I finally got the tribute, if I don't arrive before Qingyun and the others leave there, it will be in vain!" Ouyang Xiaoleng said after briefly telling Ouyang Hongye and Dong Muya everything he had experienced in the Divine Domain.
Dong Muya was fascinated by Ouyang Xiaoleng's speech, if it weren't for the more important things waiting for him to complete, she wished that he could say in as much detail as possible. She still had many questions in her mind, about the plants and creatures in the Divine Domain, and the spirit animals there...... This knowledge will not only enrich her database, but if it is told to Min Euntong, he will definitely be very interested.
"Mochizuki is not in the royal city at the moment, and Qianqi and Lingyu haven't come back yet, so I'll go to the Earth Temple with you!" Ouyang Hongye proposed without thinking, and then waited for Ouyang Xiaoleng's answer with some trepidation.
"It's good!" Ouyang Xiaoleng responded.
"During this period of recuperation, my body is much better than when I went to the dungeon before, and my demonic power has also recovered a little, although it is not as good as when I was in the best condition, but at least I won't hold you back anymore!" Ouyang Hongye laughed at himself.
Hearing that he was willing to mention the matter of the dungeon, Dong Muya was a lot more relieved, she knew that since Xia Qiu was taken away, this matter had become a knot in Ouyang Hongye's heart. This time he wanted to set off with Ouyang Xiaoleng, firstly because he couldn't rest assured of him, and secondly, to restore the father-son friendship between them. Perhaps because he was not as strong as he used to be, she clearly felt that he was a little more vulnerable than before.
Although it was almost dusk, the two decided to make a little preparation and set off overnight. The Earth Temple is located five hundred miles west of Miancheng, surrounded by a primeval forest, there are cats and jackals and other fierce beasts in the forest, Ouyang Hongye and Ouyang Xue have entered the forest to hunt when they passed through Miancheng at night, but the Earth Temple is very deep in that forest.
"I hope you can successfully rescue Xia Qiu when you go to the Earth Temple this time! Just in case, I'll continue to focus on the investigation of the tributes from the other two temples, be careful on the way! Dong Muya said goodbye to Ouyang Hongye and Ouyang Xiaoleng.
She was used to the long parting after each short reunion, and she didn't know what else she could do except send Ouyang Hongye away with a smile.
Ouyang Xiaoleng and Ouyang Hongye returned to the Demon Realm together, and after temporarily handing over the affairs of the Demon Realm to the two elders, they prepared the necessities needed to enter the primeval forest, including the lamp made of the Night Pearl that Ouyang Xiaoleng had obtained in Dongyao before, as well as some dry food.
Then, Ouyang Hongye called Thorn to him and said to him, "Mochizuki should have arrived in Qingyang by now, I wonder if he has obtained a useful medicine for snow rabbits from Heyin." As soon as he contacted Wang Cheng, inform him about me and Xiao Leng's trip to the Earth Temple. When the snow rabbit is well, let him go and join us! ”
"Yes!" The tall red-haired young man who had been transformed by the thorns nodded in response.
"Let's take a look at the snow rabbit before we leave!" Ouyang Xiaoleng said to Ouyang Hongye.
The snow rabbit was seriously ill, and it was a matter of the past few days, and Ouyang Yong sent the doctor in the Chenji Palace to see him for a long time, but he couldn't say why, but it was a strange disease. But this strange disease came really fiercely, and after the disease, the snow rabbit was in a coma, and his whole body was blue and constantly sweating. Seeing the little snow rabbit suffering, Mochizuki was anxious, remembering that the demon spirit clan in Qingyang was good at configuring all kinds of elixirs, so he went there alone to ask for help from the father and son.
When Ouyang Xiaoleng and Ouyang Hongye arrived at Wutong Residence, Miao Xue You was making sugar water for the snow rabbit, because she had been sweating and her body was a little dehydrated, and she couldn't eat, so she could only rely on this sugar water to replenish some physical strength.
Miao Xue Yu looked very haggard and helpless, with a few strands of loosely coiled hair sticking to her face, and her red and swollen eyes as if she had just cried. Ouyang Hongye didn't know how to comfort her, after Tingyue died, only she and Snow Rabbit were left with a pair of orphans and widows, she had been carefully protecting Snow Rabbit, but she suddenly got such a strange disease, no wonder she was like this.
He walked over and asked, "How is the little snow rabbit doing?" ”
Miao Yuki didn't answer him, just shook her head helplessly, and then led them towards the snow rabbit's room. The snow rabbit lying on the bed turned blue, saying that it was sick but more like it had been poisoned.
"Has she eaten anything strange during this time?" Ouyang Xiaoleng asked.
"No, it's usually our mother and son who eat together, I eat whatever she eats, if it's really a food problem, it's impossible I'll be fine." Miaoxue replied leisurely, her voice sounding tired.
"Did she mention any strange people she met when she went out to play?" Ouyang Xiaoleng still felt that the snow rabbit's illness looked strange, so he continued to ask her.
But Miao Xue You didn't say anything except shaking her head, and Ouyang Hongye comforted her a few words when she saw this, and then walked out of Wutong Residence with Ouyang Xiaoleng. They decided to arrive in Miancheng first, where they would take a short rest before entering the primeval forest.
