Book II, Chapter 20: Ancient Beasts

A rich floral fragrance lingers on the tip of the nose...

He Yu and Shu Ying suddenly felt a tightness in their chests, and their minds gradually became a little dizzy. The surroundings suddenly changed. From under the feet of the two of them, a patch of green grass quickly stretched. And by the side of a wide waterfall that Huo Ran appeared in front of him, a small green grass firmly caught the sight of the two. The two of them looked at the tender grass with a somewhat sluggish expression, and unconsciously walked towards the strange flowers in front of them.

After the safflower shook slightly, the color of the gorgeous petals suddenly deepened, turning red like blood. The thick green leaves swaying on both sides were like two hideous claws, constantly beckoning to the two people walking in front of them.

The two of them had come to the flower in a blink of an eye.

The green branches on both sides of the safflower suddenly secreted more transparent liquid, and gradually surrounded the two of them. Then, the blood-red petals suddenly sprouted a strange number of sharp, milky white slender spikes...

"Zheng Zheng..."The silver sword behind him suddenly trembled.

A hint of clarity pierces the eyes...

He Yu looked in shock at the eyes of Hyun Ran's recovery

Shuying, who was gradually surrounded by red flowers, drew her sword and cut off the thick green branches around her with a fierce sword.

The safflower was painful, and suddenly opened slightly like a bloody mouth. Seeing the opportunity, He Yu pulled Shuying back and slashed it with a sword. The blue light shone brightly, and the red flower that had been split split in two and fell to both sides.

The green leaves, without safflowers, gradually withered, slowly revealing a black hole.

"This flower..."Shuying regained consciousness, looked at her in front of her in shock, and murmured blankly.

"I've heard before that there is a magic flower that likes to be in the dark and the abyss. Its flowers are not only large but also extremely colorful and dazzling! It secretes some gas to lure people and animals passing by in front of it, and then unconsciously corrode and digest each other. I guess that's what it refers to, but I couldn't imagine that it could conjure up different scenes according to what the other person was thinking, and I couldn't help but fall into it. If it hadn't been for this demon sword reminder just now, I'm afraid we would have already become its belly food. He Yu laughingly lowered his head and thrust his sword behind him.

Shuying's expression was shocked, and she suddenly said, "Yes, I seem to have heard my sister say it." Ay... It's all flowers, why are you so vicious? I'm not like you. I'll let you hurt people a lot..."As she spoke, Shuying couldn't help but step forward and stomp on the magic flower that had turned into a puddle of mud.

He Yu looked at Shuying's naughty but cute appearance, shrugged, and entered the black hole.

"Wait for me!" Shuying looked at the withered green leaves and red flowers in disgust after stepping on her feet, and quickly chased after Heyu.

In front of a retro mirror covered with rattan patterns, a man in red looked at the two people in the mirror who stepped into the black hole one after the other, and the evil smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more weird.

-----

Along the potholed cave wall, He Yu and Shu Ying walked all the way. The parallel ground winds its way down after a turn.

Through the darkness, the two came to a huge ancient cave with four walls inlaid with lamps and bright fire. This cave is about dozens of zhang high and unusually empty. In addition to the long corridor they had just traveled all the way, a pitch-black and wide corridor appeared in front of them on the left and right.

Just when the two of them were hesitating to move left or right, they only listened to "Knock... Boom..."

A sound of footsteps from far away in the wide corridor on the right wall suddenly shook the entire ancient cave slightly. It was as if a behemoth was rushing towards here.

The two glanced at each other and unconsciously took two steps back.

As the sound of wild and heavy footsteps gradually approached, a strong sense of oppression came over the two of them. The two of them were breathless. He Yu couldn't help but pull out the sword behind him with his backhand. Shu Ying's tightly clenched fingers were already green light.

Heavy footsteps stopped...

At the mouth of the pitch-black Yong cave, a lion-headed giant beast with a height of three feet, covered with scale armor and two horns on its head was shocked. The giant beast spewed two clouds of white gas from its mouth and nose, perhaps it had never seen such a creature in this cave in the past thousand years, and it was a little surprised and curious. It paused, opened two lion eyes as big as brass bells, and stared at the two people in front of it with their heads tilted for a good look. But this is only a glance, because the next moment, it is already spewing white gas, glaring angrily. But as soon as it raised its legs, it pounced on Shu Ying who was directly opposite, obviously very unwelcome to Shu Ying and He Yu's intrusion.

The pink light flashed in front of her eyes, and Shuying dodged the attack of the giant beast sideways, appearing behind the giant beast. She waved her hands together, and countless streaks of pink light struck at it.

"Whew... The pink light that shot out of it was all folded back after hitting the scale armor, reflecting off the wall behind him.

Although the giant beast is huge, in this cave, its body is extremely flexible. I saw that it turned around and pounced on He Yu again.

He Yu flew backwards, raised the blue light and slashed at the head of the giant beast. The giant beast looked at the slashing silver sword, and actually blinked its eyes, lowered its head and slammed it away with the sharp horn above its head.

"Bang..."

He Yu's chest was hot, and he slid down the wall and fell to the ground, and the corners of his mouth suddenly overflowed with a trace of blood red.

Seeing this, Shu Ying hurriedly flew over and helped him, and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?" He Yu shook his head and reached out to wipe the blood stains from the corners of his mouth.

And the giant beast behind him obviously didn't expect this to be the result. It looked at a sharp horn that had been cut off to the ground, and its mouth and nose suddenly erupted with white gas, and it raised its head and roared. The roar was like thunder, shaking the walls. The odd number of gravel falls sideways, and the appearance is terrifying!

When the two of them saw this, they couldn't help but panic in their hearts.

"This thing is very powerful, not only is it huge, its whole body is invulnerable to scales and swords, but it is also extremely powerful! I'm afraid it's really an ancient beast!" He Yu looked at the angry giant beast in front of him, and said with a deep face.

Shu Ying looked at the huge lion beast that trembled all over her body and wanted to pounce again, and her heart was in turmoil. He said anxiously, "What then? And now you're hurt again." Why don't we withdraw to the original path and find a way!"

"No, I think it's a good time now!, because even if the Ancient Beast is powerful, it will always have weaknesses..." But before he could speak, the giant beast pounced on the two of them again. His eyes were already full of cold light, and his expression was full of anger.

The two of them quickly jumped to the side. Shu Ying looked at the giant beast, her eyes moved, and she said loudly in surprise to He Yu opposite: "He Yu, I know." You're saying that the more angry he gets, the more he exposes his weaknesses. ”

On the other side, He Yu dodged the giant legs of the lion beast stepping on his back, nodded appreciatively at Shu Ying and shouted, "Yes!"

I don't know why, since Heyu cut off its sharp horns, the beast has only attacked him. No matter how Shuying behind him hit it, it was indifferent. This is exhausting.

But seeing that He Yu Yujue raised his sword again and slashed at the giant beast, it only stirred up sparks on the giant beast covered with scale armor, and nothing else. Shuying stood opposite and watched, anxiously wanting to fly over to help. However, the cunning giant beast seemed to know her thoughts, and actually used his huge body to block between the two. In the end, she could only keep an eye on the beast on the other side, trying to find its weaknesses and be anxious.

If you continue to fight like this, I am afraid that you will consume the physical strength of your whole body. He Yu struggled to stop the blood surging in his chest, his eyebrows were together, he lifted a mouthful of dantian qi, and spun around and flew onto the back of the giant beast. The beast roared, and its whole body began to sway wildly, trying to throw He Yu off.

But after seeing it stomp on the ground hard, "Boom...", it raised its body and swung wildly, almost throwing He Yu out.

He Yu's heart trembled, looked at the behemoth beast under him, and hurriedly stabilized his mind.

A fishy wind rushed towards Shuying. Shu Ying looked at the huge lion beast that was beating unconsciously and her legs were facing her in the air, and she was shocked. She quickly dodged to the side, her gaze falling on the scaly chest of the giant beast. I saw that the place between his chest and abdomen, which was half an inch thin and invisible, was covered with shiny and thick hair...

Shu Ying looked at He Yu, who was already a little struggling on the shoulders of the giant beast, bit her lower lip, suddenly gathered spiritual power, flew up, and rushed towards the middle of the giant beast's chest and abdomen.

He Yu was determined, stabilized his body, and recited the magic trick, and Edgeworth was about to stab the giant beast in the head with a sword...

At the same time.

The giant beast's body stopped suddenly, and it raised its head in a furious roar, "Touch..."

He Yu returned to the ground in shock, and when he saw a half-inch-long opening on the giant beast's chest that had been pulled open and the blood flowing from its abdomen like a stream, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at Shuying appreciatively.

Shu Ying looked at her blood-stained right hand, which was the first time she killed, lowered her head and smiled bitterly, and looked up at He Yu who was sweating intensively on her forehead worriedly.

The two stared, their eyes wringing together...

Shu Ying raised her hand to wipe the sweat from He Yu's forehead, and when she looked at her bloodstained and smelly right hand, she slowly took it back.

The hand was gently caught, and Shuying watched in amazement as He Yu pulled out a white handkerchief from her chest, lowered her head and gently wiped the blood stains on her hands. However, her chest, which should have been happy, seemed to be blocked, and she was suffocated in pain. Because in the face of such a he, how will she bear the fate of their no longer intersecting alone in the future...

Withdrawing back his right hand in He Yu's hand, Shu Ying raised a smile vigorously. "This blood, it's fine, you don't need to wipe it. It's just that you've just used up too much stamina and true qi, so you should take a good breath to face the situation you may encounter next!"

The sudden withdrawal of Shu Ying's right hand made He Yumeng realize that he had done something extraordinary. I was gently wiping the blood stains from her hands for her... Even if I don't hate her as a goblin... But... After all... His heart ached, and he stiffened his grip on the bloody handkerchief in his hand. "Yes!" After bowing his head in reply, He Yu turned and sat on the ground. He rested his hands flat on his chest, his whole body was white, and his eyes were closed.
