Chapter 47: Three Forks
After a period of silent silence, although the cave was steaming, in the hearts of the children, there was an indescribable coolness.
"Ahem, wait a slug? Isn't it just a slug? It has always liked a shady place, how can it appear here, its body is still so huge, what the hell is going on" Shui Lingzi asked in a hoarse voice, frowning and incomprehensible.
Yue Yao pinched the little lizard, her face was gloomy like a frosty eggplant, a pair of smart eyes were round, the corners of her eyes contracted and then expanded, and she raised her claws and slammed the little lizard's head.
"Say, tell me everything you know, if I find out that you are cheating, see how I clean you up" Yue Yao exclaimed with an unkind expression.
The little lizard stared at the big round eye bubbles, turned its head and opened its mouth to bite, Yue Yao retracted its claws like lightning, and the little lizard bit the air and opened its mouth a few times in resentment, and shook its tail.
"It said that this monster has lived for a long time, I heard the elders say that maybe it came from ancient times, so everyone called it a prehistoric slug, as for how it was so huge, I don't know, I have no comment, if you think I lied to you, just go out and try it yourself, this is still up to you to say, go, sister, you wait here, I'll take it to explore the way"
Yue Yao turned around and said hello, grabbed the little lizard and quickly ran towards the rock wall of the cave.
The foal suddenly hissed in the direction of Yueyao's run.
Zi Yan was startled when she heard this, and quickly translated: "Be careful." ”
Yueyao replied without replying: "I know, I'll go back when I go, it's not me who should be careful, it should be it." With that, it quickly disappeared from people's sight.
The foal turned his head and winked at Zi Yan's speed, Zi Yan exclaimed, "Why didn't you say it earlier, hurry, let's catch up too, I'm afraid Yue Yao will suffer if it's late." ”
Shui Lingzi panicked when he heard this, and bounced up from the ground, but for some reason his mind felt dizzy, and his body fell to the side uncontrollably.
Zi Yan hugged the crumbling Shui Lingzi and touched her forehead, "Ah, your forehead is so hot?"
Shui Lingzi shook his head, shook his head vigorously, and said hoarsely: "It's okay, I'm fine, Yueyao ......" Before the words were finished, the whole person's eyes turned black and collapsed in Zi Yan's arms.
Suddenly, there was a miserable howl in front of him, the sound was extremely terrible, Zi Yan raised her head violently, and the silver tooth bit her back and picked up the unconscious Shui Lingzi, and rushed towards the scream.
Before he could run a few steps, a surging wind suddenly swayed overhead, and the corners of his clothes were dancing wildly in the strong wind, and the frightened Zi Yan stopped suddenly, the cold sweat on his forehead rolled, and he didn't dare to look back.
At the top of the cave, the prehistoric slug suddenly poked out a pair of huge eyes like copper bells, the giant eyes were half-open and half-closed, and glanced around at random, and then disappeared with the constantly wriggling body, like a sleeping person in a posture for a long time, and rolled wantonly.
Zi Yan, who didn't know why, didn't dare to take a breath in fright, and the cold sweat on her forehead flowed down her cheeks, let alone change her standing posture.
She stepped forward with her front feet and stood on tiptoe, dragging Shui Lingzi, the weight of her whole body was pressed on her high tiptoe feet, and after a long time, she was carrying a person on her back, her center of gravity was unstable, she couldn't support it, and she was about to fall to the ground.
A white shadow appeared behind her, biting Zi Yan's trouser leg to help her maintain her balance, Zi Yan's heart that jumped to her throat finally returned to its original position, and suddenly the strong wind stopped, Zi Yan's neck turned her head stiffly, and quickly glanced at it.
The monster above his head still wriggled and squirmed, and it didn't seem to have changed.
At this time, Zi Yan's heartbeat slowly calmed down, she exhaled a long breath, and stepped on the ground with her feet steadily, ignoring the soreness from her toes, and rushed at a trot.
Outside the rock wall, there is a long passage, the light at the top is much brighter, and the poisonous sun shining directly down from the cracks and gaps, emitting a hot temperature, the scorching passage is like a furnace, making people want to escape from this place quickly.
Zi Yan carried Shui Lingzi on her back and ran on the cracked passage with the foal, the flickering light made people feel unreal after looking at it for a long time, coupled with the forks in the passage, she was lost after a while.
Zi Yan shuttled between light and dark, relying on what she thought was a good sense of direction, she didn't think much about it when she saw the fork in the road, and rushed in the same direction.
After a while, "Ah!" Zi Yan let out an exclamation, panting and puffing, she saw the behemoth again, looking at the familiar environment around her, and suddenly felt like crying.
She stomped her foot in resentment and twisted around, returning to the bizarre passage once more.
......
The wind and waves on the Jiuqu official road are calm, Mu Mu leads the big guy and has Yalu, the living guide, so naturally he will not get lost.
"This is the road of the official road of Jiuqu, also known as the 'Shu road', according to legend, there was once a 'god' who obtained a rare soul here, and finally achieved the god position. However, this is just a rumor, but there are indeed people here who have seen rare souls, for example, Kiss is said to be the ninth son of the dragon god, and his body is like a carp spitting fountain, which is a rare and superb soul for a water soul master......"
Yalu traveled all the way, and the allusions in the language of the lotus flower and the vivid words were often fascinating, making it difficult not to listen carefully to her explanation, but hearing her say that this Takidao was the paradise of the water soul master, everyone, including Mu Mu, was distracted.
The boys and girls casually admired the scenery of the lakes and mountains on both sides of the official road, even if there was a light and shadow sliding over the lake, they just stopped to visit, and then set off on their way.
"Yalu, you know so much, where did you learn this, you can also teach me when you have time, I will worship you as a teacher" Huang Kai leaned next to Yalu, his eyes flashed with admiration, and he smiled flatteringly.
Yalu glanced at Huang Kai, smiled politely and left, chasing Mu Mu in front of her.
Huang Kai just wanted to run, Ah Xiang on the side suddenly stretched out his leg and made a trip, Huang Kai took a big step forward, almost didn't fall, and turned back angrily: "What are you doing, I'm messing with you?"
Ah Xiang glared at Huang Kai fiercely, and shouted without showing weakness: "I just can't get used to seeing some people, chasing and running to please others, but others don't care at all, what is this called, oh, by the way, the smell of the horse slapped on the horse, the horse's buttocks." ”
As soon as Huang Kai heard Meiyu, three black lines immediately appeared, and he shouted loudly: "What kind of horse stinks, don't you just pat the horse's ass! What is there to say, not to mention that I didn't shoot the horse's ass, even if I shoot it, what does it have to do with you, can you control it?"
"You, you're so nasty, a dirty word, so dirty" Ah Xiang screamed, turning her head angrily.
"Sick! Tripping people for no reason, and saying that I swear words, I'm really sick" Huang Kai saw that the other party didn't pay attention, and he was angry, and he turned his head angrily.
Dongmei hurriedly chased after Ah Xiang and asked, "What's wrong with you, stumbling for no reason?"
Ah Xiang glanced at Dongmei, glanced at Huang Kai who was huffing, and whispered: "I just can't get used to his virtue, especially not like him pleasing others." ”
Dongmei stared at Ah Xiang for a long time, and suddenly nodded as if she had realized: "Well, I understand." ”
"What do you understand?" asked Ah Xiang, confused.
"Someone is jealous, the female monkey wants to find a male monkey to give birth to a litter of baby monkeys" Dongmei shouted as fast as she could, and quickly fled.
Ah Xiang didn't understand for a while, what a female monkey and a male monkey were talking about, and suddenly came back to her senses, and two flying clouds jumped out of her cheeks.
"I'm going to die, you stop, stop me......"
Mu Mu turned around in the middle of the madness, although he didn't know what they were doing, but he also smiled when he saw their happy appearance.
As the road progressed, the distance seemed to be shortened, and soon it came to a three-way junction that led in three different directions.
Mu Mu and the others stopped and listened to Zi Yan's explanation quietly.
"This is the famous three-way crossing, which leads to three different directions, but the different paths lead to the center of the Holy Realm, but the distance is slightly different, Mu Mu, which way do you say we should go?" Yalu asked Mu Mu after introducing it, and it seemed that it was difficult to leave his face.
"What do you say?" Mu Mu asked everyone, and the others naturally took Mu Mu's horse as the head, Mu Mu glanced at everyone, touched the back of his head with some embarrassment, and said casually: "Then choose the nearest road! The sooner you arrive, the better, so as to save any accidents on the road." ”
Yalu listened to Mu Mu's instructions, nodded and pointed to one of the three forks and said, "This road is the closest, let's take this one!"
Mu Mu nodded in agreement, and moved in the direction Yalu pointed, and everyone behind him hurriedly followed, and everyone walked on this nearest road.
......
Less than half an hour after they left, a group of teenagers came to the fork of the road at great speed, and there was a vague anxiety and greed hidden between the eyebrows of the dusty servants.
"Jiangnan, don't lie to me, if it weren't him, we wouldn't let you go," a leading teenager turned back to a young man on crutches.
"Everyone, even if I Jiangnan has the courage, I don't dare to lie to you, not to mention that I saw it with my own eyes, yes, it's him, if you still don't believe it, I Jiangnan can swear soul" Jiang Nan, who was on crutches, immediately threw his crutches to the side, knelt on the ground and read the oath loudly.
"Forget it, get up, you don't know that the soul oath will be broken! What's more, you and I are brothers, I don't believe who you believe, hurry up!" A leading teenager hurriedly pulled him up before Jiang Nan swore an oath.
A few young men who took the lead around didn't say anything more, glanced at the fork and asked, "Let's go that way." ”
The young man who helped Jiangnan up said: "I think the soldiers should be divided into three ways, no matter which way he goes, we can meet, even if we can't touch it, it doesn't matter, we can always meet again when we get to the center, and then we-"
Suddenly, Jiang Nan shouted: "No, we must not be separated, I know where he goes, you just follow me, I promise to find him." ”
"Why are you so sure, do you have something wrong with him?" asked a leading young man, who immediately flashed in his mind how to follow people in the notebook.
Jiang Nan shook his head and said, "I came in without bringing anything like you, how could there be such a thing." ”
"How can you be so sure that he won't choose any other path?" asked the other leading young man, puzzled.
The corners of Jiang Nan's mouth curled slightly, looked at the three avenues in front of him, and said in a dark way: "Because he is in a hurry." ”
