Chapter 141: Chestnut in the Fire (I)
Liang Zi's face was full of melancholy, and Nangong's expression was also very solemn.
He didn't expect that after going around all the way, as soon as he came to this inner world, Blackpool directly staged such a drama in the middle of the fire.
It's so exciting, it's a little unacceptable.
"What the hell is going on?" Nangong asked Ye Jianzang.
Although Liang Zi had already said it concisely once, it was too simple and too meaningful, and Nangong was still a little confused about the details when he first arrived.
For example, tyrants, such as this fire demon, why did they fight, and why did she take risks in Heichi? There are too many questions, and Nangong urgently needs to ask.
This eldest young master usually talks to himself when he has nothing to do, and he has the potential to chatter, so it is most suitable to ask him.
"It's pretty much the same as the violent girl said, you also saw ......"
Ye Jianzang was standing behind Nangong, shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and said, "Although we are one step ahead of you, in fact, we have just arrived. At that time, a few of us entered the corpse lair, and the Blackpool girl led us directly to the tyrant's sealed land. But at that time, the tyrant had already woken up, and Mr. Murong had a fight with it, but he was not an opponent, and he broke a hand by it......"
Nangong glanced at Murong Chaifeng, who was standing at the end, but found that his arms were intact...... Well, I guess I just got reborn. It's just that when I came in just now, I burned ten corpse pools, but I didn't notice if there were any traces.
Ye Jianzang continued: "...... Fortunately, the tyrant seemed to have been summoned by something, and had no intention of fighting, so after a few moves, he left in a hurry. We followed all the way and we came here. Then, out of nowhere, the monster appeared, and I don't know what the hell it was. It's terrifyingly strong......"
"That's the Fire Demon, a legendary monster. Nangong interjected.
"Is that monster called the Fire Demon? It's a pretty vivid name......
Ye Jianzang muttered, and then continued: "...... At that time, the monster appeared directly in front of a few of us, and I thought it was going to kill a few of us, but soon, it was attracted to the tyrant, and the two monsters fought. The scene is so intense! Nerd, you don't see it, I don't know, at the time, I told you......
"Alright...... Now is not the time to talk about this, to get to the point. ”
When I saw this big young master, my eyebrows fluttered. There were signs of going off-topic, Nangong hurriedly interrupted him, and asked, "Why did she go out, Miss Blackpool?"
"The violent girl just said that the antidote to the corpse poison is on the other side of this sea of fire. Heichi said that these two monsters don't know how long it will take to fight, and we don't have much time, so we need to get the antidote as soon as possible, and then go to Snow City. So she ran out. Ye Jianzang replied.
"It's too dangerous!" Nangong frowned.
"yes...... It's too dangerous!" Ye Jianzang nodded in agreement.
"You know it's dangerous, so why don't you stop her? at least wait until I come, and then discuss countermeasures together." Nangong was stunned. No good airway.
The antidote to corpse poison is related to Murong Chasing the wind, and its importance is needless to say. But on the other hand, the importance of the life of the black pool is not low at all.
The palm of the hand is meat. The back of the hand is also meat, he wants the antidote, and he also wants to protect his friends.
Anyway, in Nangong's opinion. Blackpool rushed out so rashly, this kind of action was too hasty. At least, before trying anything else. You shouldn't have taken the risk of that.
Hearing Nangong say this, Ye Jianzang cried out: "Do you think I don't want to? The premise is that I have to stop it?! Don't you know how fast she is, and she can fly, and her temper is fierce, and the nine cows can't pull back the things she decides, who can stop her if she has to go out?"
Nangong was stunned, what the eldest young master said was the truth.
Don't look at Blackpool's age, but in terms of strength, she is indeed the strongest person.
Moreover, she usually looks like a big grin, and she is a little natural, relying on her apprentice Shao Jiyi for everything, and she can't even figure out the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within a hundred, but she is actually a very assertive person.
She has something to ask her apprentice, but most of these "things" are trivial matters, not serious matters.
Obviously, in her eyes now, the antidote to corpse poison is the most righteous thing.
Perhaps, it is because she is so ...... Ahem, you don't have to be distracted, that's why you have such a strong strength, right?" Nangong thought.
But Ye Jianzang continued: "Actually, at the beginning, she planned to sneak over while the tyrant was fighting with that fire demon. But who knew that before he was halfway there, he was punched back by the tyrant. But it's strange to say......" He thought for a moment and said with a little doubt, "If we stay here, we will be fine." If you want to go to the other side, not only the tyrant, but even the fire demon will stop you...... Like, they don't want us to go over?"
"Nerd, you have a flexible brain, can you guess why?" Ye Jianzang asked.
“...... I don't know. ”
Nangong shook his head, also puzzled.
The original identity of the Corpse Lair was a dwarven mine, which in itself was a bizarre enough thing. And in the depths of the mine, a fire demon was actually bred, and this fire demon actually had a grudge against the tyrant, which was even more bizarre.
As for why neither of them wants someone to go to the other side, there are not enough clues, and there is not enough detailed information, and no matter how flexible their brains are, they can't guess out of thin air.
If there is any possible reason, it is ......
"Perhaps...... That's why they fight. Nangong thought of a possibility, so he guessed.
"What do you mean?" Ye Jianzang asked.
"You're stupid!"
Liang Zi suddenly interjected: "Since those two monsters don't want anyone to go to the other side, and the two of them are fighting to the death, then the only possibility is on the other side of the sea of fire, there is something they care about very much! Maybe it's the antidote we're looking for, so it's not surprising......"
"Hmm. Nangong nodded, this might be what he thought of.
"Something that even tyrants and fire demons care about...... You mean...... Is there a treasure?" Ye Jianzang's eyes lit up suddenly, and his expression was radiant.
"Young Master, you think too much...... Nangong sighed and said helplessly: "This is just a guess, everything is too early." And. Even if there is a treasure, it is only the treasure of tyrants and fire demons, and for us humans, it is more likely to be waste, or even highly poisonous. ”
"Anyway, it's a treasure, right?" Ye Jianzang didn't care.
His curiosity had been completely hooked, and his face was eager to try, and his eyes looked around with a skeletal look, as if he wanted to find a hidden path. Let's see if we can touch the other side unconsciously.
"Humph!"
Suddenly, with a snap, Nangong slashed out a palm. With the strength of his palm, he actually split a large piece of the big stone in front of him, and then glanced at Ye Jianzang, and frowned again.
"Nerd, you ...... What are you going to do?" Ye Jianzang was suddenly startled.
In fact, when he first arrived here, he had already tested it.
This rock is tormented by fire day and night, and its hardness is unimaginable, far superior to ordinary steel. If it's an ordinary mortal weapon. Just like Nangong's short sword with three dwarf treasures, it can only leave a mark on it, but I didn't expect that now, it was broken by this nerd with a single palm.
It scared him. It's not Nangong's palm, but the glance behind this palm.
Nangong didn't seem to hear it, but silently punched again.
Under a punch, there was another snap. The stone he had just chopped down shattered into powder and spilled between his fingers to the ground.
"That...... Treasures or something, I'm just talking about it. You don't have to take it seriously. Ye Jianzang shrunk his neck and laughed, but secretly thought in his heart: This nerd is too ...... Let's be a little more upright.
Nangong still didn't answer.
With this palm and punch, he split rocks and stones, firstly, because he was familiar with his strength that had just broken through the mirror, and then because he wanted to use this method to compare the strength gap between himself and the tyrant, and that's it.
Although the results of the test are not necessarily accurate, they at least have a reference, which is better than a blind person touching an elephant.
As for the treasure or something, it wasn't the focus of his thinking, and now his mind was full of thinking about how to save Blackpool.
While they were talking, the battle between the tyrant and the fire demon continued, and it had reached a white-hot stage...... To be precise, their battles have always been hot and white, but now that the hill is almost bottoming out, and the Blackpool has been slowly climbing down.
However, if it continues to develop at this rate, if there is no accident, at most a cup of tea time, she will have no way back. Either be discovered by the Tyrant and the Firefiend, or jump into the lava, there is no third option.
The situation is already precarious, and if it drags on, I am afraid it will be too late.
In that case, a little surprise must be created before a third option can appear.
After thinking about it, Nangong put aside the stone powder in his hand, and then shouted in his consciousness: "Little Kunyu, how are you doing now?"
"Can't die......" Xiao Kunyu replied lazily in his consciousness.
"Can you still move?" Nangong asked in a bit detail.
"What do you want to do again?!" Xiao Kunyu suddenly became nervous, and there was a bit of anger and corruption in his speech, and there was a faint resentment.
It's no wonder that just now outside the corpse nest, it controlled Nangong's body and forcibly used that move, "Ye Yan? Great Snake Nagi" wanted to destroy Zhuo Wanjun with one move, but who knew that it was stabbed sideways by the military advisor and made it eat itself.
Nangong's injuries recovered because of the breakthrough, but it itself was greatly injured and languished.
Now when it heard Nangong say this, it seemed to hear the meaning of trying hard, and it couldn't help but be nervous.
"You should have heard that, I'm going to rescue the Blackpool girl, and I can't fly...... So I want to ...... Hehe!" Nangong's answer made even him feel a little embarrassed.
Ever since the little kunyu followed him, it seemed that every time he asked him to make a move, he would be embarrassed. This is true outside Qinglong City, and it is also the same when Jiangquan Village is haunted by hundreds of thousands of strange birds.
Even just now, less than an hour ago, it was seriously injured, but now he wants to merge with it and use its strength to fight hard.
After the dignified beast, he fell into the field, and he, as the master, is really duty-bound!
"......" the little kunyu fell silent in his consciousness.
Nangong felt a little embarrassed, and he also knew that his request was really difficult for a strong man...... Well, it was difficult for a strong fish, so he said, "...... Eh, forget it. I'll think of another way, you can rest. ”
As he spoke, he looked around carefully.
At this time, the little kunyu spoke again. It said a little frantically: "It's all lava all around here, and you can't fly yourself, what else can you do but merge with me! Every mountain is dozens of feet away from each other, are you going to jump over it? Can you jump so far? What if you can't jump? If you fall down, you'll die! When the time comes, you won't be saved, and you will put yourself in it, which is fun?"
"The solution is something that people come up with, think about it, there will always be ......," Nangong said embarrassedly.
Xiao Kunyu told the truth, each mountain is dozens of zhang away, and the two nearest ones are at least twenty zhang. With his current ability, he really can't jump this far.
Fortunately, there are not only hills in the lava, but also many rocks protruding from the magma surface, which are much closer to each other than those hills, so if you are careful, you may not want to give it a try.
And Nangong was planning to jump over these stones.
"I can't stand you anymore!When you think of a way, that girl will be burned to ashes!" Xiao Kunyu interrupted him directly, and suddenly said: "Leave me down......
"What?" Nangong was stunned for a moment, a little unresponsive.
"I said, throw me down, throw me into those magma, don't you hear?"
"I heard, but ......"
Nangong heard it clearly this time, but he was still hesitating, and even a little suspected that he had heard it wrong.
The temperature of the magma is so high that it goes without saying. Although the little kunyu is a divine beast with the dual attributes of water and fire, it will turn into a fish in water and rise into the sky, but with its current state of vitality, I am afraid that it will not be able to take a magma bath, right?
Isn't throwing it down the same as sending it to death?
"No, no...... Don't worry, I won't die!" Xiao Kunyu interrupted, and urged: "Hurry up, time is running out! ”
"Okay......"
Xiao Kunyu said everything about this, if Nangong was hesitating, it would be distrustful of it. Without hesitation at the moment, he reached into his arms and grabbed the little kunyu out, and took a deep look: "Then you be careful, don't force yourself." If there's any danger, ...... it as soon as possible."
"Come on!
Xiao Kunyu glared at Nangong with smart eyes. Suddenly, there was a "grunt", and without waiting for Nangong to make a move, it directly broke away from his hand, and then fluttered its wings and drilled down.
"Little Kunyu ......" Nangong was greatly moved.
"Alright, alright...... If the flesh is numb, put it away quickly! I just see that there is a contract between you and me...... If it weren't for the fear that you, the pedantic master, would not be able to take care of these idle things......" The little kunyu was falling and came to this consciousness.
And then "plop" with a bang......
It vanished into the magma, and communication ended. (To be continued......)
