Chapter 65: The Jade Man and the Python
So, we packed up and prepared to start the triumphant escape.
But just about to go into the water, I found that there was a white thing floating along the water in the dark passage, I hurriedly squatted down and picked it up to see, it was actually a snake egg, I thought, this mother, I don't even know that the child is lost, after all, it is an animal. But just as he was about to get up, he suddenly found that the originally clear river water had become turbid at this time, and at the same time emitted a fishy smell, so he lowered his head again, carefully observed the water flow, and suddenly his face changed, and he exclaimed: "Blood!"
In the cave, in the originally clear and transparent river water, a large red mist suddenly appeared, I picked up some water with my hand, and smelled it carefully, there was a fishy smell in the water, yes, this is the smell of blood donation melted into the water.
Looking at the snake egg in his hand, and then at the blood in the water, an ominous premonition came to his heart, could it be that the giant python had an accident just now?
"Be careful!" As Uncle Li burst into a shout, I saw a splash of water, and a cold knife came out of the water, and went straight to me to cut it, I hurriedly dodged to the side, and the big knife was slashing on the rock, bursting out a little spark.
Faced with the sudden attack, I subconsciously took two steps back, only to see the red jade puppet slowly crawling up from the water in front of me.
It turned out that after this red jade man was hit by the boulder at the top, the time to summon it was also up, and after a period of adjustment, the Yin Spirit was summoned again, and then he pushed away the boulder that was pressing on his body, and followed me and their tracks.
However, the boulder that fell from the top of the cave was not vegetarian, it smashed its left arm, and cracks appeared in other parts of the body, and now, I saw it standing in front of me with a knife in one hand, and the river water dripping with blood on its body made its body darker than before, and it seemed that the giant python must have died under its knife just now.
Sure enough, at the same time as the red jade man came ashore, the body of the python that had been cut in two floated along the river, and under the action of the nerves, it kept writhing, and red blood kept gushing outward from the cut place, dyeing the nearby river water crimson.
I clutched the snake egg in my hand, and a nameless fire suddenly rose in my heart, and for some reason, he now felt very sympathetic to the python and was determined to avenge it.
But the power of the god puppet has been seen in the cave, although it has a broken arm now, but in this narrow space, it still has an absolute advantage.
I was thinking about countermeasures quickly in my head, but the puppet didn't give him much time to think, and when he got ashore, he swung his knife and slashed, because the rock in the middle was not very big, we stood together in front of the two backs, facing the big knife and slashing horizontally, there was no room to dodge at all.
"Get into the water!" As Uncle Li shouted, we immediately jumped into the water in three different directions, which was also the most helpless choice, the red jade god puppet slashed into the air, stood on the rock, looked at us in different directions in the water, and then flew into the water, and went straight to the iron pillar carrying the Shenmu stone box to chase after him.
Fortunately, the speed of the puppet in the water is not as agile as on land, especially if it is missing an arm, it moves very slowly, which makes the chased iron pillar can quickly dodge the puppet's attack in the water. But this cave has no other way out except for an undercurrent below, and the situation in the undercurrent is unknown, if you don't solve the god puppet, you can't go into it lightly, in case there is danger inside, and there is a god puppet chasing after you, it is equivalent to forcing yourself into a dead end.
Looking at the slow movements of the puppet, I had an idea, and immediately took out the rope and threw it at Uncle Li not far away.
"Master, let's tie it up in the water!"
Uncle Li stretched out his hand to take the rope, and immediately understood my intentions, the puppet moves slowly in the water, and the power of the big knife in the water will be reduced a lot, as long as it is underwater, the advantage of more people will be reflected.
"Iron pillar, lead it to this side!" Uncle Li shouted as he lifted the rope.
Tie Zhu was dodging the attack of the god puppet in the water at this time, in comparison, the action of the god puppet in the water seemed very clumsy, seeing the rope in the master's hand, the iron pillar immediately understood, plunged into the water, and swam in the direction of Uncle Li and me.
In the cave, there was no other source of light except for the miner's lamp in my hand, and when the three of them dived into the water, the darkness of the past was immediately restored.
Underwater, the miner's lamp was just a small bright spot, flickering back and forth in my hand, reflecting a pale red glow on the ruby jade doll.
The iron pillar slowly came back in the direction of the miner's lamp, and when he looked back, he saw that the pale red puppet was always chasing after him.
The rope is like a bow back under the action of the water, and after the iron pillar swims over, Uncle Li and I quickly outflanked the puppet from both sides, and then reversed positions, and then went around to the front of the puppet, just like that, after wrapping the rope around its body two or three times, the two of us began to swim forward slowly behind the puppet, so that the rope did not restrain its action to chase the iron pillar.
After seeing that the master and his younger brother succeeded, the iron pillar swam to a thick stone pillar, and played hide and seek with the puppet around the stone pillar, and Uncle Li and I quickly swam in different directions after circling the stone pillar, and pulled the rope tight, and the puppet continued to shrink with the rope, and finally was tied to the stone pillar.
Uncle Li and I took this opportunity to keep shuttling in the water, using the rope from the puppet's legs to the waist, tied to the stone pillar, and finally the two people detoured behind the puppet, and tightened the rope with the stone pillar with their feet.
At this time, the puppet still waved the big knife with one hand and kept slashing at the iron pillar, the iron pillar dodged left and right, and when he saw his younger brother waving at him, he immediately stepped on the water with both feet a few times and swam in their direction. The idol was tied to a stone pillar and was only wielding a large sword, but could no longer move forward.
The three of us observed in the water for a while, and saw that the god puppet was tied firmly by the rope, so we were relieved and swam out of the water and came to the rock in the center.
Sitting on the floor, we gasped for air, and after this series of tosses, I felt that my body was almost at its limit.
"It's really fucking just out of Longtan and into the tiger's den, how can the disasters happen one after another, it's like Journey to the West, but don't come out with a moth again!"
"If I knew this was the case, let's take the pure yang water with us, everyone drink a drop and immediately recover the body, alas! hurry up and rest, the rope can't tie the puppet for long!" Uncle Li said.
"Ah, why don't you bring that water, it's a pity!" Tie Zhu shook his head and said, "I'm hungry after you say that, if I can eat something!"
"There's something to eat, hehe, you can eat snake meat with a torch here. Looking at the huge python corpse in the water, Uncle Li smiled bitterly twice and said, "It is estimated that the snake meat test is good, and the second master Guan in the water has also come out!"
"Then let's hurry up!" Tie Zhu slowly stood up and moved twice.
"By the way, master, although I don't have time to roast snake meat, I can relieve it by drinking snake gall bladder!"
After I reminded him, Uncle Li's eyes also lit up, "Yes, you are so talented, the snake gall of this python must be not small, hurry up and catch the snake!"
I immediately got up, and a thump plunged into the water and swam towards the body of the python.
But as soon as I got closer, I heard a loud bang, and I saw a huge string of bubbles rising up from under the stone pillar, and then I saw that the stone pillar suddenly broke in the middle and smashed straight into the water, causing a huge wave, and I hurriedly dived into the water, and it was pitch black underwater.
I knew that the puppet must have broken the pillar and escaped, so I hurriedly surfaced and swam towards the rock in the center.
Sure enough, after the waves, a small dark red head emerged from the water and quickly chased after me in front of me.
"Come up!" Seeing that the puppet appeared again, Tiezhu hurriedly pulled his younger brother up from the water, and we were all copying guys, ready to fight to the death.
Suddenly, something strange happened, when the god puppet swam to the side of the body of the python, the python that had been dead for a long time suddenly moved, and I began to think that I was dazzled, but as the huge python's body rolled up in the water, I knew that it really moved.
I saw that the python quickly entangled the red jade god puppet and turned it up and down in the water, and the three of us were immediately stunned by the scene in front of us, how could this be?
"Look there!" As I shouted, everyone immediately looked in the direction of the miner's lamp in his hand, only to see two other python corpses floating on the water behind him, and everyone realized that it was another python in front of them.
I was immediately shocked into a cold sweat, just now I actually wanted to take the snake gall of the living python.
In the river, with the splash up and down, I saw that the red jade puppet was gradually shrinking in the python's body and wanted to move very difficult, and the long green dragon moon covering the big knife had long since disappeared, only to see it holding a snake body with one arm, making the last struggle.
The flat head, green eyes, double tail, and the deep wound on the body, all indicate that this is the python that has been attacking me and them, it seems that it is a pair with the dead python, I don't know how many years it has been here, and now my companion has died, this python that was stabbed by me, in order to avenge his companion, actually used this method of pretending to be dead to entangle the red jade man, only to see it keep stirring its body, as if it was willing to stop only by crushing the enemy to pieces.
With the rotation of the python's body, there was a slight sound from the red jade man's body, and I kept cheering for the python in my heart, working hard, and crushing it with a little force!
Suddenly, the python let out a miserable moan, and I saw that the red jade man's hand actually buckled into the wound that I had cut on the python's body with the heavenly stab, and blood immediately gushed out of the wound.
"Hey!" I stomped my foot, regretting it.
At this time, the python wrapped around the red jade man seemed to gradually lose its strength, only to see that the god puppet shook his arm violently, and actually tore it into two pieces from the wound by the python, and the snake's blood actually sprayed onto the central rock a few meters away, splashing the three people all over their bodies.
I couldn't bear to look at it anymore at this time, and I was holding the Heavenly Thorn in my hand and preparing to fight the puppet to the end.
However, the python did not stop there, and used all his last strength to wrap his upper body tightly around the puppet, only to hear a click, and the puppet's round, polished body made of natural red jade shattered into countless small pieces under the python's entanglement.
