Chapter 4: Shock
Whitebeard doesn't know whether it's intentional or not, and the speed at which he walks always gives an illusion. He always walked at the forefront of the crowd, and his speed was not fast, but Yang Long felt that it was very difficult to get down this way, and he even used his running speed to chase after him, but he could still only follow behind Whitebeard's ass.
As for the others, they even shouted injustice, especially Pang Hu and Xiaodong, the things on their backs were much heavier than the weight they carried every day, and it was nearly two days to go from the village to Mozhu Town. At such a distance, even if they are as strong as adults, they feel unbearable. At this moment, Yang Long had to be glad that his burden was relatively small.
Whitebeard walked and stopped, but always led the front of the team, and everyone behind him, except for Zilan Yatou and Lily, who were a little ruddy, the others were sweating like rain. In the end, Yang Long found that he was the most unbearable one, he was panting, his feet were tired and numb, and he almost couldn't run, so he just rushed for half a day. If Yang Long hadn't been exercising since he was a child, he would have collapsed just by running for two hours. If it was placed in his previous life, according to his age, he could have such amazing perseverance, this is already a miracle. However, the burden he carried was not more than half that of Xiaodong and Pang Hu, but he was actually tired before the others.
Looking at Yang Long's pale face, Zilan pouted angrily, and her mouth began to nag again.
As for the others, the most obvious feeling is Pang Hu, even if Pang Hu is carrying a mountain of food on his back, he still walks like a fly, as if there is nothing. The more he went to the back, the more clearly Yang Long could feel Pang Hu's strangeness. After Pang Hu was exhausted, an ancient rune would faintly flash on his forehead, and the blue-green rune seemed to be a little weird, which actually looked a little like the wooden character seal of the Qin Dynasty.
As for Ning Chen and Xiao Dong's foreheads, there seemed to be something flickering, although they couldn't see what it was, but Yang Long knew that it was a sign of the first appearance of the Heavenly Mandate Seal.
According to Whitebeard, when the Mandate of Heaven is first formed, it will use the elements of heaven and earth as a sketch to outline an exclusive rune, which is commonly known as "nascent" at this stage.
After reaching the nascent stage, learning some exercises, you can simply invoke your own elemental power between heaven and earth to exert powerful attacks. At this stage, there is a special profession called a seal repairer. The so-called seal cultivation is to specialize in cultivating one's own destiny seal.
On top of the seal repair, there is a distinction between high and low. In total, it is divided into three categories, human seals, earth sealers, and heavenly sealers.
For these things that are too far away, Whitebeard only briefly introduces them, and does not explain them in too much depth.
Yang Long kept gritting his teeth and following behind, even if his feet were weak, he survived by walking and stopping. If it weren't for Whitebeard's deliberate slowing down at the end, Yang Long would probably have fainted. He has never complained in this process, he has been silently following the footsteps of others, since he lagged behind others, he has been following the footsteps of others, because he does not want to fall behind, does not want to be weaker than others.
Fortunately, at noon, Pang Hu and Xiaodong let go of their bellies and ate a big meal, and ate the contents of their backpacks a lot smaller, otherwise at the end of the day, they would probably be tired.
As for the others, it is not comfortable, after all, the journey of a day is more than dozens of kilometers. Just walking has to tire people half to death, not to mention that these guys are carrying a big bag of things. If it weren't for the fact that everyone's physique was strengthening every day, and there was a sign of destiny to improve their physique, it would be almost impossible for these seven or eight-year-old children to persevere in this journey alone.
Whitebeard stopped by a lake and motioned for everyone to set up camp here tonight, for it was much more dangerous to travel at night than during the day. Although the road from the village to Mozhu Town is full of woods, and the road was dug out by the ancestors, there are often unknown beasts here, and even the adults in the village dare not go out of the mountain alone.
"I'll go around to check the situation, and you stay here and camp until I come back. Whitebeard dropped that sentence and left.
As the sun sets, the soft light on the horizon pulls out golden lines, rendering this tranquil lake, sparkling with microwaves, like a layer of gold film.
Looking at this beautiful landscape, everyone's eyes lit up.
"What a beautiful lake, Brother Pang, why don't you take a bath. ”
"Brother Yanglong, come too!"
Pang Hu and Xiaodong looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
Watching Pang Hu and Xiaodong undress in public regardless of the girl behind them, Yang Long covered his forehead, his head was big, although they were just a group of little children.
"Shameless!" Zilan and Lily blushed, snorted softly, and couldn't help but turn their backs.
Yang Long leaned against a big tree, his face was a little pale, and his feet were still trembling slightly. At the end of the day, he's just an eight-year-old. Yang Long shook his head with a wry smile, his current self was hundreds of times stronger than a child of this age in his previous life, but compared to these guys, he found that he was actually a waste.
Yang Long sighed slightly, and when he looked around, he noticed that the white beard was gone. Ever since he went out, he felt that Whitebeard seemed to be weird, looking preoccupied, and Whitebeard rarely spoke along the way, and kept walking silently. This feeling made Yang Long very uneasy, the whitebeard he remembered had always been indifferent, even if his drinking friend who had been very good with Whitebeard suddenly fell ill and died, his face did not have such a heavy feeling. Yang Long had a faint feeling that something big was about to happen.
Zilan and Lily rummaged through the contents of Pang Hu's bag, and were surprised that the two little guys found the tent, which made the two little girls very happy, with this thing, they could sleep with a lot of peace of mind, and Yang Long could only roll his eyes at this.
However, at this moment, a scream came from the side of the lake, which startled the contemplative Yang Dragon.
"Help, help! Brother Pang, I was bitten by something, water...... There's something in the water. Xiaodong's panicked sound came from the lake.
Yang Long's eyes tightened, his face was solemn, and just as Xiao Dong was shouting, he saw a small snake the size of a thumb swimming beside Pang Hu, with tiger-leopard-colored markings all over his body, about one meter long.
"This is the water rhododium snake. Yang Long pondered, as if remembering something.
"Water rhode snake, social species. Warm, chronic and highly toxic. ”
Just as he was thinking about the little snake, he turned his eyes to look at Ling Bo who was reflected by the faint light, and the halo of rippling circles was extremely gorgeous. However, in the next moment, his pupils shrank, and his whole body became cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Pang Hu, get out of there quickly, this is the group of water lingsnakes. ”
"Hiss" A small hoarse sound followed the Yang Dragon's shout, with a scalp-tingling sound far and near.
Pang Hu's reaction was very fast, and when he heard Xiaodong shouting, he had already immediately gone to support. However, the moment Pang Hu saw Xiaodong, his heart was cold. At this moment, Xiaodong's whole body was reddish-brown, and his face was extremely pale, obviously poisoned.
"What the hell is going on?" Pang Hu was at a loss for a moment, and at this moment, he suddenly heard Yang Long's eager shout.
"Water Ling Snake?" Hearing this, Pang Hu's face turned pale, and when he looked back in a hurry, he couldn't help but have goosebumps all over his body. In that golden lake, circles of pale golden light were like picture scrolls, which stretched and then closed. However, when Pang Hu took a closer look, he found that it was not a wave rippled by water, but a combination of tigers and leopard-like water rhombic snakes wriggling together. The golden halo that I saw from a distance just now turned out to be not reflected by the sunlight, but these water rhombic snakes that were hidden by the halo.
This scene made Pang Hu shudder fiercely, seeing that the number had to be at least tens of thousands. He immediately stopped staying, and quickly left the area with Xiaodong, who had passed out in a coma.
After running naked all the way to the shore, Pang Hu breathed a sigh of relief, and now he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought about it.
Yang Long appeared beside Pang Hu for the first time with two sets of clothes, and said in a deep voice to Pang Hu, "Put on the clothes first." ”
Xiaodong was already unconscious, and Yang Long checked the injuries and only found two bloody wounds on his right arm. At this time, a stream of purple blood continued to remain on those two wounds, and Xiao Dong's arm was already completely reddish-brown, and the rest of his body seemed to be in the process of assimilation.
Yang Long remembered that Whitebeard once said that the water rhombus is a very poisonous type of snake, its poison has a bleeding effect, and the wound of the bitten person will not heal itself, but will continue to bleed until the blood in the body is gone.
"Ahh When Pang Hu helped Xiaodong get dressed, he was surprised.
Yang Long touched Xiao Dong, and just as Pang Hu said, Xiao Dong's body became hot as if he had a high fever. Yang Long pondered for a while, and probably knew the effect of this toxicity, which is the same as the biology he learned in his previous life, if there is a lack of platelets in the human body, the blood will not coagulate, and the wound will not heal. And this toxicity should have inhibited the platelets in Xiaodong's body, improved his physiological functions, and made his blood boil. In this way, the blood will flow out faster.
Thinking of this, Yang Long immediately said in a deep voice, "Don't wear clothes yet, just help him cover underneath." Now I'm going to go to the lake to get some water and help Xiaodong cool down. After Zilan and the others came, she told them to pack up their things and leave the lake quickly. ”
Yang Long tore off one side of Xiao Dong's clothes and tied it to Xiao Dong's right arm, which could also suppress his bleeding speed. However, the next step is the water fetching that is a problem. Because the lake has been densely covered with leopard-shaped water snakes, I don't know if it was because Xiaodong was bitten just now, the calm lake just now began to surge, and it has become an extremely fierce place.
The surge of tens of thousands of water rhombus snakes drove the whole lake to roll. The whole lake looks like a boiling pool of gold, which is nothing short of spectacular. There are even a few one-meter-long water rhombic snakes spitting letters on the shore, making a salsa sound, which is chilling.
Zilan and the others also rushed over at this time, and when she heard about it, she couldn't help but be surprised. But when she saw Yang Long heading towards the lake, she couldn't help but be worried. At the moment, he complained to Pang Hu for a while, "How can you let Brother Yang go alone, don't you know that there are snakes?"
"But...... But ......"
However, before Pang Hu could explain, Zi Lan complained again, "But what, people can't outrun your wood, and your body is not as strong as you, you actually let a weak guy take on the big responsibility." ”
Seeing that Zilan was getting more and more vigorous, Lily and Ning Chen wiped their sweat at the same time, and persuaded, "Okay, okay, didn't Brother Yang tell us to leave here first? Besides, if Pang Hu and Big Brother both walked over, who would tell us the news." ”
"Weak guy" If Yang Long knew that the girl was talking about herself behind her back, I don't know if she would vomit blood.
At this time, Yang Long was holding a bloody wooden stick, and he was about to come to the bank of the river, and along the way, he had killed a lot of water water snakes. These water rphobic snakes seem to have been stimulated, and the snake letter keeps confiding, and the attack is very strong, and they take the initiative to attack when they see the yang dragon approaching, but fortunately, these water rhombus snakes are not very difficult to deal with.
There weren't many snakes on the shore, and a few were wandering around, as if looking for something. Another thumb-sized snake rushed from the side, Yang Long held a wooden stick, and with one stick broke the water rhombic snake that flew into the air into two sections, blood spilled all over the ground, and the smell of blood became heavier and heavier, and at this time he had already come to the shore of the lake.
Patches of golden snakes intertwined with each other, rolling up a ** wave. Yang Long stared at the area in amazement, as if something was tumbling there, like a silkworm cocoon, something terrible about to break out of the cocoon.
Suddenly, Yang Long's expression changed, and he immediately took off the clothes on his body, dipped some water, and ran back without looking back.
Because Yang Long saw that at the place where Xiaodong was injured, it seemed that all the snakes had gathered in that place. And all the snakes were killing each other, as if they were grabbing something, and soon there was already a blood-red color, and the lake had turned a strange red.
The most shocking thing was Yang Long's last look, he saw a black figure the size of a human head flash through the water, and the small snakes made way for the huge figure in horror. Even, some small snakes that couldn't dodge were devoured by it.
