Chapter 20: The Chosen One

The cave is not very dark, a bit like the sun has just set.

The scroll was right in front of me, and I staggered to my feet, bending down to pick it up.

I moved on.

After walking for about ten minutes, there was a light in front of me, and I quickened my pace and walked towards the light.

The light became brighter and brighter, and I saw a view in front of me, and there was no grass growing outside, as if someone was cleaning.

Zhou Shihao sat quietly on the steps outside.

"Shihao, why are you here?"

Zhou Shihao looked angry: "Bai Ruoxue told me!"

"It's dangerous here, go back and ......"

"You kid, you know the danger, you dare to come alone, where did you get the shotgun?"

Zhou Shihao looked at the shotgun behind me and asked me.

"I picked it up on the way here, by the way, Uncle Xiang may be a nine-headed demon beast!"

I looked at Zhou Shihao and replied to him.

"How do you know?"

"Have you forgotten? I opened the eyes of the sky, and I could vaguely see that Uncle Xiang's body was shrouded in a gas, neither human nor ghost!"

"Three cannons, okay, you can see this. ”

"Let's be careful!"

I said to Shihao.

Zhou Shihao and I walked down the stone steps to the Taoist temple.

I saw the Taoist temple, and the vermilion gate was closed.

On the left and right sides of the doorway, there is a stone lion, but the difference is that each stone lion is chained with iron chains, and its eyes are covered with red cloth.

"Anyone, anyone?......"

I pushed open the door and shouted to the Taoist temple.

After a few calls, no one answered me.

"Shihao, be careful. ”

I turned my head to look at Zhou Shihao.

The temple was unusually quiet, except for the sound of me and Zhou Shihao stepping on the snow.

The house inside looks like it has been in disrepair for years, dilapidated, and the vermilion windows are already in tatters.

The two of us continued on our way, through the house to the woods behind us.

"What's that?" Zhou Shihao said excitedly.

I looked in the direction of Zhou Shihao's fingertips, and a huge footprint appeared in front of me.

"This footprint is very likely left by the nine-headed demon beast. ”

I looked at Zhou Shihao with a worried face.

Zhou Shihao and I walked about a few hundred steps along the footprints.

There was a boulder in front of him, an iron chain as thick as a fist, coiled around the boulder.

The chain stretched out long into the distance.

At the end of the chain, there is a small river.

I looked into the middle of the river, and in the middle of the river, there were a lot of bubbles coming out from time to time.

Zhou Shihao and I tried to pull the iron chain with all our strength, but the iron chain did not move.

"Silk ...... Silk ......"

There was a sound from behind, and vines were running towards us, and strangely, there was a skeleton in front of each vine.

I remembered that in the ancient scrolls, this thing was a plant that came out of the shaman city a thousand years ago, this thing is highly poisonous, and it looks like a human form, and the shaman city calls it a skull, and we call it a skull vine.

Unlike man-eating flowers, skulls mainly grow in cold places, with roots dozens of meters deep underground, feeding on humans and animals to obtain nutrients.

"Shihao, jump into the water. ”

I shouted to Zhou Shihao.

I saw Zhou Shihao, like an arrow off target, jumping into the river.

I followed him and jumped into the river as well.

The water was not as cold as I had imagined, and I swam along the chain to the bottom.

I saw that the iron chain in front of me was broken, and I didn't see the nine-headed demon beast.

I thought to myself, could it be that this monster has escaped, and what about the people who guard it?

A series of question marks ran over my mind.

As the river gets shallower and shallower, many white bones appear at the bottom of the river.

It's just that these white bones don't seem to belong entirely to humans.

This made me even more determined, the nine-headed demon beast must have appeared here.

When I saw that there were no monsters at the bottom of the river, I swam to the shore.

I was soaking wet, so I took off my wet clothes.

"Yes, the scroll must have been soaked in water. ”

I shouted to Zhou Shihao.

With trembling hands, I pulled the scroll out of my bosom.

I thought that the ancient scroll would be spent, but what I didn't expect was that in the ancient scroll, there were some ancient texts that I had never seen before.

"Shihao, look!"

"I don't read, and I can't read ancient texts. ”

Zhou Shihao responded to me.

When I turned the scroll to the page of the nine-headed demon beast, I saw that the nine-headed demon beast had a sharp sword inserted in it, and on the sword body, you could vaguely see the three words dragon pattern sword.

I thought to myself, if I want to get rid of the demon beast, I have to borrow the power of the dragon sword?

I was confused and continued to walk forward with Zhou Shihao.

I don't know how long I walked, but I just felt that I was hungry in my belly.

There is a white pagoda standing in front of me, this tower towers into the sky, I am very happy in my heart, and Zhou Shihao and Zhou Shihao walked quickly to the pagoda.

Walking up to the pagoda, I looked around.

Seeing that the tower door was closed, Zhou Shihao stepped forward and pushed the tower door open.

"Anyone......?"

Zhou Shihao shouted into the tower.

The sound of a pin falling can be heard.

In the tower, in the center of the ground was a giant sword.

"Who's there!"

A man's voice came to my ears.

I looked and saw a young man come out of the room in the tower.

"Is that him?" I whispered.

He was the boy in the mirror.

"You're here?" the boy was not surprised to see us.

Did he already know that we were going to be here?

The boy pointed to the greatsword, his eyes looking at me.

"Yang Xi, go and try it, can you pull up the sword?"

With a hint of confusion, I walked over to the sword.

I saw that the shape of this sword was ordinary, and it was not as beautiful as the one drawn in the scroll.

"This is a dragon-patterned sword?"

I asked the teenager.

"Exactly, whoever can pull it up is the chosen one. ”

The young man looked at me and continued: "The nine-headed demon beast is transformed by the ancient Chiyou. ”

"Chiyou?" I looked at the boy with a questioning expression.

The boy walked up to me: "His primordial spirit, attached to the spirit cat." ”

"The so-called nine-headed demon beast is just a civet cat?"

I asked the teenager.

The boy nodded to me.

And the so-called chosen one, only he can pull out the dragon sword, and only he can use the power of the dragon sword.

"Three guns, try it!"

Zhou Shihao, who was standing on the side, shouted to me with an eager face.

I looked nervous, and slowly stretched out my right hand and held it on the handle of the dragon-patterned sword.

In an instant, I only felt that a force in my body was constantly condensing, which made people feel like they wanted to release.

"Ah......h

I screamed, and the dragon sword was slowly pulled up by me.

In an instant, cracks began to appear on the ground, crisscrossing and crisscrossing.

With a dragon groan, the sword was completely pulled out by me.

All I could feel was that the sword was heavy, rusty as it was stuck in the ground.

"That's it...... Can this thing kill a nine-headed demon beast?"

I looked at the rusty dragon-patterned sword in my hand and complained to the boy.

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a few dragon groans.

The white dragon in my dream, descending from the top of the tower, circled in the air a few times, and rushed towards the sword in my hand.

My arm was disobedient and controlled by the power of the sword, and I slowly raised my arm to point at the white dragon.

For a moment, a dazzling white light made the white dragon disappear.

The sword in my hand began to burn unusually hot.

I instinctively let go of my grip on the sword, only to see that the sword did not fall, but slowly rose into the air.

I saw the sword body, and the shape of a white dragon slowly emerged, above the sword handle was the dragon's head, and the dragon body was coiled on the blade, and the sword body became extremely sharp.
