Chapter 18: Tianyi Divine Beast
Looking at the dark and deep water at the bottom of the lake, the two rounds of silver-white bright moon were rapidly approaching, Shuli's heart began to panic inexplicably, and he finally remembered the library pavilion and another legend of this lake.
The reason why this place is deserted is that in addition to the side branch family of the calligrapher guarding day and night, I also heard that there is the only divine beast of the calligrapher guarding here.
The beast was terrifying and fierce, but I had never heard of it. But it is said that once, a traitor of the calligrapher wanted to steal the exercises in the library before leaving, but he did not expect to be discovered by this beast, and his death was miserable.
At this moment, Shuli stared at the two round moonlights in the depths of the lake, and his heart suddenly shook, these were clearly two huge eyes!
The two eyes were close to Shuli, Shuli came back to his senses from the frightened, and immediately mobilized the mana and spiritual power of his whole body to run the exercises, and jumped to the surface of the lake without looking back.
But it was obvious that the speed of the beast swimming in the water was far from what he could match, and the speed of approaching was far beyond Shuli's imagination, and in less than a moment, when he was about to approach the surface of the lake, the beast had already approached Shuli's feet!
Shuli suddenly felt numb in his hands and feet, and a cold chill came from the soles of his feet, spreading throughout his body, and he sensed that great danger was under his feet!
He suddenly struggled to mobilize his spiritual power to perform the exercises, and in his panic, he formed a bright white circular shield under his feet.
At this moment, a water arrow suddenly shot from below, and with a loud muffled sound, it pierced the round shield, which barely resisted for a moment before it collapsed into white runes and disappeared into the water.
Shuli felt a pain under his feet, and the aftermath of the impact of the water arrow spread to Shuli, even though he still had Haoran Zhengqi to protect his body, but he was still hit by the impact of the water arrow, and with a bang, his body rushed out of the water and shot into the air, a line of blood was sprinkled, Shuli was like a fluttering catkins, spurting out a mouthful of blood and throwing it in the air.
However, before Shuli's body could fall from the sky, there was a continuous sound of water, and the strange beast suddenly came out of the water next to it, and the speed was staggering.
Shuli sensed the danger and ran the exercises in the air, stabilizing the injury, his body stabilized, and his body slowly fell, and in this interval, he faced this behemoth as if he were facing a great enemy.
This strange beast is huge, covering half of the sky in the lake, the whole is like a huge anaconda, the whole body is pitch black, with a hideous head, a large basin of blood, especially the white giant teeth, sharp and glowing with cold light, at this time, its eyes are fierce, and it snorts, spewing out a section of mist, the head as a whole looks like a few copies of the appearance of the unicorn in the mythological ancient paintings, but with a smooth body like a huge loach, and a pair of wide black meat wings behind the back, standing there, and the unicorn can not catch up, but like the descendants of the unicorn and the giant pythonγ
At this time, I saw that the strange beast opened its black wings, and the silver-white light shot out of its eyes again, above the water, the silver light of its eyes was even more dazzling, far less warm than in the depths of the lake, and at the same time, it opened its huge mouth of the black hole, revealing its white giant teeth, and posed for the second attack.
Looking at its appearance, when Shuli was still thinking about its origin, the alien beast suddenly shook its wings rapidly, and the clouds of water splashed continuously, and the silver light in its eyes shone like countless snowflakes shaking off, and before Shuli could react, it suddenly slammed its head down, and its body swooped, like a poisonous snake devouring the enemy, and quickly attacked Shuli, looking like it wanted to devour him in one bite.
Shuli was startled, and immediately activated the Heaven and Earth Sacred Heart Decision, wanting to condense a silver round shield like water to resist, but after being attacked by the water arrow, the spiritual power and mana in his body were scattered, and it was already a blessing to be able to support him to fly in the air, and he couldn't condense the divine power again to resist its attack.
Seeing that the bloody mouth of the strange beast came to his eyes, Shuli had already smelled the thick watery smell and foul smell in the mouth of this beast, the giant tooth cut over like a white blade, and the big mouth of the black hole was more than a dozen zhang, not to mention the speed, so fast that he had almost no chance to escape, Shuli felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help but close his eyes in despair.
Just as Shuli was about to sit still, there was a loud shout from the shore behind, and a ray of blue light shot over, straight to the eyes of the alien beast, which seemed to be its vital point, and the alien beast could only be forced to stop attacking and dodging.
However, after it dodged the attack of the blue light, it aroused its manic beastliness, and it raised its head and roared, and immediately adjusted its posture, opened its angry eyes, and swooped down again towards the place where the blue light came from.
Qingguang drew a beautiful arc in the air, which fell into the hands of a person, and Shuli saw that it was his father Shuyu, who was standing on the shore of the lake, looking coldly at Shuli and the strange beast, and he was followed by a young nurse.
The attack came in the blink of an eye, Shu Yu did not panic in the face of the fierce attack of the strange beast, and slowly drew a circle of light with the cyan sword, and then pushed his hand forward, the cyan sword emitted a dim light, rotating rapidly in the aperture, turning bigger and bigger, and slowly turning from a small circle of light in front of him into a huge light shield of more than ten zhang, the sword blade in the light shield was hideous, the cold wind was fierce, and in the blink of an eye, the cyan light shield bombarded in front of the head of the strange beast.
The strange beast seemed to know that it was powerful, and with a roar, the lake water churned into the air, and the surrounding black lake water immediately fell down a large section, condensing into a huge black but transparent water arrow in the air, and the arrow shot towards the sword light circle, and shot away with a roar.
"Bang!"
The lightsaber circle and water arrow exploded, forming a magnificent blue light fragment and water arrow afterimage in the air, which spread instantly, carrying a huge amount of power and rushing around.
The nurse hurriedly jumped his head into the lake, scooped up Shuli, which could no longer support the fall into the lake, and then flashed, flying behind Shuyu.
Shu Yu and the alien beast were impacted by the cyan water aperture, and they were each affected by the impact of the supernatural power, and their bodies involuntarily retreated back several feet, and the alien beast made a noise in the water.
From the appearance of the alien beast to the confrontation with Shuyu, it seems to be a long time, but in fact, it is only a matter of a few breaths.
But this kind of confrontation aroused the anger of the strange beast even more, the strange beast was fierce at this time, roaring again and again, Shu Yu was on guard, and slowly and forcefully waved the green snake divine sword in his hand.
Shuli put his head on the shoulders of the guard, looking at the battle ahead, he was surprised to see that the original transparent and unpretentious green snake sword, under his father's continuous infusion of mana, actually appeared a small cyan snake shadow, constantly swimming in the sword body. Father continued to stimulate the green snake sword, the small snake shadow became bigger and bigger, and in less than a while, it broke through the sword body, and in an instant, the blue light bloomed, and a huge cyan python phantom was formed in front of his father, exuding a cold and sharp cyan streamer.
This scene saw that the strange beast was also stunned, at this time in the air, there were two behemoths, one green and one black, confronting each other, if it wasn't for the confrontation at the moment, the strange look of the strange beast was quite interesting.
However, the black beast reacted, shook its head, the water splashed, it roared again, and its black bumps suddenly exploded on its body, from which black bone spurs grew, and blue-black scales emerged between the bone spurs and bone spurs, and the bone spurs and scales emitted a faint dark light in the bright moonlight, and the body of the strange beast moved, and it was about to bite the cyan python.
"Don't be reckless!" a scolding came from behind the black beast, from the direction of the library pavilion.
The sound was strong, echoing and buzzing among the lakes and mountain forests, which showed that this person's cultivation was profound.
Shuli and the others looked intently, and saw an old man in a dark green robe, flying from the direction of the library pavilion, his robe was fierce, and his white beard was fluttering, and he looked like he had cultivated immortals.
I saw him fly over and land on the head of the black beast, the beast seemed to be accustomed to it, and the silver glittering eyes also regained a little calm, and obediently let him settle down, "poof" twice snort.
"Who are you waiting for, why are you here late at night!?" the old man stood high above the beast's head and looked at them.
Shu Yu knew the inside story more clearly than Shuli here, and he didn't dare to slack off, and withdrew the magic power of the exercises, the figure of the green python suddenly turned into a cyan rune and dissipated, and the green snake sword swirling in the air returned to Shu Yu's hand.
He immediately saluted the old man and said: "In Xia Shuyu, he is one of the elders of the 137th generation who is now in charge of the calligrapher, the dog is ignorant, provoking the divine beast, and he is afraid of accidentally injuring the child's life during the period, so he rashly made a move, which is offensive, and I ask the clan brother to forgive me." β
After hearing this, the old man in green clothes took out a yellowed and worn-out book from his cuff, looked through it, and nodded. He took out a fist-thick brush from his waist, held it in one hand, and waved it in the air, and after a while, the light and shadow of a cyan fish appeared in the air, and the black beast was immediately attracted, and the silver halo in his eyes flickered sharply, staring at the fish, making a whining sound, quite excited and excited.
The old man in Tsing Yi stretched his arm, and the blue light fish gradually became active under the old man's continuous waving, and finally the old man pointed at it with a pen, and the fish emitted a dazzling light, and the scales appeared, lifelike, and swam in the air.
"Go ahead. The old man said lightly.
If the fish is reborn, suddenly, it will burrow into the lake below, the light is faintly sinking, the strange beast under the feet of the old man has long been unable to hold back, "poof", happily burrowed into the lake, catch the fish.
The lake was stirred by the lifting of strange beasts, and it took a while to calm down.
The old man also slowly flew down from the sky and landed next to Shu Yu and the others.
He turned his gaze on these people, stopped at Shuli, and then stroked the beard on his chin and smiled slightly: "Shuyu, the old man has grown up with you for several generations, and he has been guarding the Shujia Library here all his life, I guess you also know the importance of this place, if no one can control the Tianyi Divine Beast tonight, I shouldn't have appeared rashly." β
Shuli only then knew that the name of the strange beast just now was called "Tianyi Divine Beast", the ancient saying said, Tiansheng is water, presumably this divine beast is also afraid of the fire in the Library, and uses its talent to protect the Library.
When Shu Yu heard this, he knew that he was his elder, and the "clan brother" he just called was a little wrong, so he immediately looked solemn and bowed down and said: "Elder, it is indeed the younger generation, please forgive the younger generation and the dog for the sake of the younger generation's hard work for the family." β
The old man in Tsing Yi smiled faintly: "It's okay, but the Tianyi Divine Beast is hidden at the bottom of the lake, if it can't sense the attack of a strong enemy, it will not be alarmed," he glanced at Shuli, nodded and said, "The future is terrifying." β
Shuyu hurriedly surrendered his hand: "It's the younger generation who has no way to teach his son, which will cause unnecessary trouble tonight, and he will definitely be strictly disciplined in the future." β
The old man in Tsing Yi looked at Shuli, especially when he saw his smooth head, reflecting the moonlight, the halo was like water, his eyes moved, and he said: "It's okay, I haven't been out of the pavilion for a long time, and today is a good night, so I should enjoy the scenery." β
Shu Yu hesitated for a moment and said: "In this way, the younger generation does not dare to disturb more, so say goodbye, if he can have another chance in the future, he will definitely thank the elders." β
"Go ahead. The old man in Tsing Yi said lightly, and then pointed to Shuli, "Does this descendant have time to enjoy tonight's beautiful scenery with the old man?"
Shuli was stunned when he heard this.
