Chapter 27 (Underground River)
Before Huzi could react, his arms were already empty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Xiaolei's screams came from far away, dull, wrapped in something.
Huzi broke free from the two vines that had not yet had time to entangle him, and conjured a fireball with a charm, relying on this warmth to protect himself.
The two vines of Fang Cai were broken by the tiger, and they flowed out of black and swarthy juice, and there was a fragrance.
The arms were empty, and Huzi put his hands down in embarrassment.
After all, you can't successfully protect the person you want to protect.
After all, it can't succeed, so that no one around you is harmed.
The last spell is gone. When it's gone, I'll be able to see you—Mommy, Master, and Lei. Qi Xiaoxuan, ha, Qi Xiaoxuan, fought all the way, and finally died here together.
As he was thinking, the fireball gradually faded in light, and finally dimmed. First the sun changed to the brightness of the moon, then to a star, and finally not even the light of a candle. Like the last light in life, Huzi can only watch it gradually extinguish.
The mandala vine gradually climbed up his body. Huzi felt his legs tightly bound and couldn't move—and he didn't want to move. Rattan seemed to feel that Huzi had given up resistance, and the attack became more and more ferocious, quickly enveloping Huzi. The tough vines of the plant tightened their skin and flesh, carrying the unique toxin of the mandala flower, so the tiger did not feel pain for a while. It's just that the boundless darkness comes at you and envelops you.
Huzi closed his eyes, recalled the encounter with Qi Xiaoxuan and the eldest master, and recalled that along the way, he also felt quite happy. The way of imperial qi that I have just learned makes me feel that I am not so useless. Now, however, none of this makes sense.
Significance.
If it weren't for the fact that the vines on his body had loosened, Huzi would probably have fallen asleep in these memories.
However, just when Huzi thought and was destined to die here, the rattan suddenly loosened its restraints and freed Huzi. Huzi stepped on the soft ground, and for the first time felt that his free limbs were so endearing.
Look at those rattans again, they were still dancing with their teeth and claws a moment ago, but now they are all over the ground, lying on the ground with no life.
Huzi tried to move his limbs, but it seemed to be fine. Then he remembered the few companions who had just been caught, and he became worried again, and couldn't help shouting:
Qi Xiaoxuan...... Where ?......are you?"
No one answered.
"Qi Xiaoxuan! Xiao Xuanxuan...... If you don't answer me, I'll ......."
"It's noisy. ”
“......”
Just when he didn't know how to threaten Qi Xiaoxuan, he heard a cold and indifferent voice from the side. Huzi was overjoyed, knowing that Qi Xiaoxuan must not have had an accident, so he saw Qi Xiaoxuan standing spotlessly where he had just disappeared, with the eldest master standing on his shoulder, all of them were fine.
"Haha, I knew you were okay. Huzi couldn't help but say, he was going to hug Qi Xiaoxuan as a bear.
Qi Xiaoxuan poked Huzi's open arms with his fingertips and said, "You...... Get away from me. ”
“......”
The eldest master couldn't help laughing on the side, and said, "Haha, you don't know that Xiao Xuan, this kid has a habit of cleanliness." ”
Huzi snorted dissatisfiedly, put his hands in his arms, and glared at Qi Xiaoxuan.
The eldest man laughed so hard that his beard trembled, and said in a straight voice: "Ahem...... Don't talk about that. It's strange to say, how did this rattan wither on its own?...... Haha, good thing we're all fine. Where's that little bud? Isn't she holding it in your arms?"
When Huzi heard this, he looked around, and saw that his eyes were full of devastation, all of which were broken plants and vines, and where was the shadow of Xiaolei?
Since the first time we met, Huzi has liked Xiaolei very much. She reminded him of his childhood playmates, of the innocent hours with his friends, of not having to worry about where tomorrow's dinner would be, not having to miss his mother day after day. Xiaolei is like Huzi's own little sister, and like Huzi's own childhood. Since I met her, a strong desire for protection has risen in my heart. But today, after all, she was not able to protect her thoroughly.
When Huzi thought of this, the happiness he felt because Qi Xiaoxuan and the eldest master were safe and sound disappeared in an instant.
"Little Lei...... Xiao Lei...... It must have been buried in this vine...... It must be...... Look for it!"
As he spoke, Huzi bent down and grabbed the vines on the ground with both hands. The vines were layered on top of each other, and there were many tiny spikes. Huzi's movements were very large, as if he didn't want to die, and he didn't care about the pain, and there were soon fine blood marks on his thick palms.
Seeing this, Qi Xiaoxuan and the eldest master were also quite unbearable. One person and one treasure looked at each other, as if they wanted to say something. The eldest master shook his pen and motioned to Qi Xiaoxuan not to speak. Qi Xiaoxuan pursed his lips, nodded almost invisibly, and leaned down to look for it with Huzi.
The two of them were about to turn the vines around them upside down, when suddenly the soft ground beneath their feet began to fall.
The old man was shocked and shouted: "No! The land here is going to collapse!
At the same time as the eldest lord shouted, Qi Xiaoxuan had already reacted and quickly retreated to the way he came. And Huzi didn't realize it, still looking for it on his own, shouting in his mouth:
"Little Lei! girl...... Where are you...... If you're awake, answer me!"
Qi Xiaoxuan saw that Huzi was still in place, and was slightly angry, and said, "Huzi! Don't look for ......it!
Before the words fell, one side of the land had collapsed. It was from where the tiger stood, that the soft earth fell downward, clattering, with the vines and rhizomes of those plants. And the tiger is in the center of this collapse, and he will not be spared.
Before Huzi could react, his heart suddenly shook, and the feeling of weightlessness suddenly hit, and the person had fallen into darkness.
Qi Xiaoxuan really hates that iron is not steel: "This guy ......" said, but the action did not stop, grabbed the eldest master with one hand, jumped up, chased Huzi, and jumped deep into the cave that collapsed. It was pitch black.
There was the sound of rushing water in my ears.
There was a vague immature voice, shouting: "Stinky rascal...... Help me!"
When he fell, Huzi lost his mind for a moment, as if he heard Xiao Lei's voice asking for help again. However, the sense of crisis made him react quickly. He was lying on a large slab of stone, which staggered, drifting with the current, occasionally colliding with other slabs, being knocked to the side, and continuing to drift with the current.
"You won't be fooled!"
Huzi's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at the place where the sound came from, but it was pitch black all around, and he could see something somewhere. But Huzi was convinced that he was not hallucinating—or, not believing, he wished he was convinced.
Huzi touched his arms, fortunately, there was still a charm. He took out the charm and held his breath to concentrate, recalling the method of imperial qi dao that the great master had taught. Although his heart was in turmoil at the moment, he still had to calm down and gather the black and white points of light into a Tai Chi shape, and finally condensed a small fireball.
Huzi pushed the fireball in the direction from which the sound came from, and saw the surrounding scene clearly. It turned out to be an underground dark river, with unknown red and bright flowers blooming on both banks, and the flowers were surrounded by white bones. And the most strange thing is that the river is flowing from low to high at this moment.
The fireball pushed farther and farther, and Huzi vaguely saw two figures in front of him. Just as he was about to push the fireball a little further, the spell was abruptly interrupted. Huzi's true qi is still sufficient, and he feels that he has manipulated it well-then, this spell has been artificially interrupted!
Just as he thought of this, a white robe fell beside him. Qi Xiaoxuan held the eldest master in one hand, pointed his toes on the stone slab, and landed next to Huzi gently and skillfully.
Huzi turned his head, Qi Xiaoxuan looked him up and down, and said a little teasingly: "It's really rough and thick." It's fine if you're okay. ”
Seeing Qi Xiaoxuan's arrival, Huzi grabbed Qi Xiaoxuan's sleeve robe and said, "It's Xiaolei! She's still alive! She's in front, I just lit up the front with a fireball, I saw it!"
"Oh, she's waiting for you over there?"
"No!" Huzi was impatient, "I heard Xiao Lei's voice! She's over there! When my fireball was pushed over, I saw two figures, and then the spell was suddenly interrupted!"
Qi Xiaoxuan nodded and said, "Then let's go ahead and take a look." ”
"En!" Qi Xiaoxuan's words, listening to Huzi's ears, were as pleasant as "I'll help you save Xiaolei". Now he has determined that Xiao Lei has been kidnapped by someone. This place is extremely dangerous, Xiaolei must not have any accidents.
As he spoke, Huzi took the lead and jumped forward to another stone slab. Although he didn't know any spells, he haunted the mountains and forests all the year round, avoiding wild beasts, and at the moment he was jumping from stone slab to stone, although he was not walking on the ground, but he was also very fast. Seeing this, the eldest man raised his beard, and felt that this seemingly straw-baled land was still a little capable. And Qi Xiaoxuan followed behind Huzi unhurriedly. He's so good at it, and this little slate is nothing to him.
As I got closer, there was a faint light in front of me, glowing with a little blue color, which turned out to be the light of the night pearl.
Huzi, Qi Xiaoxuan, and the eldest master stopped on a stone slab. On the stone slab opposite, there was a scholar in a dark robe, holding Xiao Lei in his arms. Near him stood a little boy who looked like a scholar, holding a night pearl in his hand. The scholar was carefully looking at Huzi and his party, and the scholar was stunned with the beads, and he was a little at a loss.
Huzi was at a loss for a moment. Seeing this, Qi Xiaoxuan said: "This brother, I don't know who it is? This little girl in your arms is all the way with us, please return her to us." ”
