Chapter 7: The Dark River Monster
"Brother Yu too? Why don't you give it a try. Zhang Lei smiled evilly.
To be honest, I also wanted to see if Yu Jing would also "float on water", only to see Yu Jing take a deep breath, form a sword finger, seal his veins, and then take three deep breaths, according to Yu Jing, this is to urge his true qi to run in his body non-stop, so as to reduce his own weight.
I saw that Yu Jing tentatively put his left foot on the water surface, and sure enough, he didn't fall, so his right foot also stepped on the water surface, and slowly walked towards the opposite side step by step, but the water level where Yu Jing stepped on it was even shallower, and I secretly admired the excellence of Yu Jing.
Yujing came to the opposite bank, but there was no trace of Xu Qinghuan, only to see a hole behind a big stone on the bank of the river, and there were a few wild grasses next to the hole.
Presumably Xu Qinghuan went into the cave, so reckless, what should he do when he encounters danger. Yu Jing shouted at us, "Come here, be safe. β
But how do we get over, look at the width of at least twenty meters, no way, dive, the three of them discussed, decided to swim over, but an unexpected accident happened, just when we were about to swim to the opposite shore, a monster's head rushed out of the water, scared us a stagger, I choked a few mouthfuls of water, only to see a strange head with a diameter of up to seven or eight meters on the water surface in front of me, a large mouth of blood basin is the size of a hut, that row of teeth is terrifying, each tooth is as thick as a human arm.
It happened too suddenly, the three of us didn't have time to react, the monster bit down with a big mouth, I thought to myself that this bite had to be hung directly, I hurriedly pushed Zhang Lei, lay down on the way, dodged the monster's mouth, the showman dived directly into the water, and then Zhang Lei shouted for help, and then sank to the bottom, this series of actions only happened in five seconds, and then Yujing rushed over, pulled me up and ran to the shore, he was on it, I was dragged to the shoreγ
Thinking of Zhang Lei and the others, I couldn't help but be a little worried, at this time, the monster had sunk to the bottom of the water, and Yujing was about to go down to save people, but I heard Zhang Lei's shout: "Xu Lin... Entangled by a water monster... Go and save people. β
I hurriedly pulled him ashore, it turned out that when the monster opened its mouth and bit down, I pushed Zhang Lei, and then Xu Lin pulled Zhang Lei down from underwater, but he was entangled by the monster, and his life and death were uncertain. After listening to Zhang Lei's words, Yu Jing quickly untied the vein, plunged into the water, I asked Zhang Lei to answer on the shore, and followed Yu Jing into the bottomless dark river, after diving underwater, I opened my eyes and looked, it was extremely dim, and the river water was very uncomfortable in contact with my eyes, until my eyes adapted to the light at the bottom of the river, I saw that Yu Jing was approaching the monster.
There are a lot of tentacles on the back of the monster, at this time Uncle Xu Lin is tightly entangled by the tentacles, life and death are unknown, I felt the dagger on my waist and was about to come forward to help, but Yu Jing made a silent gesture to me, I saw Yu Jing take the dagger in my hand, signaling to wait for him to cut off the monster's tentacles, I save people, I nodded. Yu Jing quickly picked up the tentacles on the monster's back, I pulled Xu Lin and swam to the water, the monster struggled in the water under the pain, and jumped out of the water almost at the same time as me, and Yu Jing followed closely. The monster saw that the delicious taste in his mouth was rescued, and dared to hurt himself, how could he easily let us go, opened his mouth and bit down, it was a coincidence, the feather realm just swam out of the water, just in the blind corner that the monster could not see. Yu Jing picked up the dagger deep into the neck of the stabbing monster, this time it angered it even more, I saw it keep rolling in the river, for a while, the river became boiling, taking advantage of the short chaos, I and Yu Jing helped Xu Lin to the shore, as soon as I went ashore, the monster's tentacles flew over, I subconsciously bent down to dodge, I didn't expect that its target was not us, but the big stone on the shore.
The moment its tentacles wrapped around the stone, I suddenly thought of what it was going to do, pulled up Zhang Lei and jumped into the hole behind the stone, Yu Jing also saw the monster's thoughts, and helped Xu Lin down together, leaving the monster who couldn't stop roaring at the entrance of the cave. The cave is very wide, the entrance of the cave is more than three meters above the ground, and it is easy to go up, but the problem is that the monster is still on it, so I have to go inside.
Coming to a relatively flat place, I put Xu Lin on the ground and checked it, it was okay, but he was unconscious, and then Xu Qinghuan also came over, "Dad, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with my dad?" Xu Qinghuan asked very excitedly.
"Don't be nervous, your dad is just unconscious. I said to her.
Xu Qinghuan said, "I accidentally fell down just now, as if I saw another person in the hole, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye." β
Hearing her say this, everyone became nervous, after all, being in such a dim cave, coupled with the strange beast just now, couldn't help but be a little worried. After a while, Xu Lin gradually woke up, Xu Qinghuan hugged him, and said, "Dad, you woke up, scared me to death." β
"Thank you to the little brothers for sacrificing their lives to save you," Xu Lin said with his fists in his hands.
"Where, if Senior Xu hadn't pulled me underwater, I don't think I would have stood here safe and sound. Zhang Lei said. After being polite, Xu Qinghuan said: "Let's take a look around, I always think it's weird here." β
So a group of five people began a carpet search of this cave, and after some investigation, they did not find the person Xu Qinghuan said. found an injured white wolf, Xu Qinghuan took the wolf in his arms and bandaged its wounds very lovingly. At dusk, sleepiness hit, I fell asleep against the stone wall, and in the second half of the night, I suddenly woke up, it was dark in front of me, I felt the fire folds on my body and lit it, by the faint light of the fire, I saw a few wolves in front of me staring at me, I hurriedly called the others, "Don't sleep, get up quickly." β
But no one answered me, I looked around, and there was no trace of anyone else, thinking that I was not buried in the belly of the wolf, although I was in addition to Zhang Lei, Yujing, Xu Qinghuan, and the entertainer Xu Lin have only known each other for a few days, but, all the way together, support each other, this is not experienced in the police station, of course I don't want any accidents to happen to them. But where are the few people now, they disappeared after sleeping, and the current situation doesn't have time for me to think about it, so let's solve the current crisis first.
In the face of the six wolves in front of me, I was a little at a loss, a year ago in the police station to train police dogs, although wolves and dogs are very close in size, but after all, wolves are cold-blooded, it is far less "reasonable" than dogs. A few wolves slowly approached, I had to retreat, to be honest, I didn't want to provoke this dispute, but I had no choice, the current environment was very unfavorable to me, once the fire fold in my hand was extinguished, I would be in a dangerous situation, the situation was not optimistic.
I was really afraid of something, maybe because of the dampness underground, the fire fold in my hand was extinguished after a while, and I was suddenly plunged into darkness. It is said that the wolf's eyes are green, and now I have been able to confirm that they are indeed green, but it is precisely because of its green eyes that it has created a glimmer of life for me.
As the only light source in my hand went out, the leading wolf attacked, and I could only vaguely see a pair of green points of light flying towards me, moving left to avoid the fatal blow, and hitting it with my hand, only to hear a scream in the darkness, and the wolf lay on the ground. With the first blow, I was even more convinced of the thought in my heart, this is just an ordinary wolf, and I can't go through a few rounds under my hands.
However, things are far from being as simple as I imagined, just when I killed the six wild wolves in front of me like a wolf into a flock, there was a sudden huge impact behind me, I was swept out of the shackles, wiped the blood on the corner of my mouth, at this moment I felt a sharp pain in all my internal organs, I didn't dare to be careless, I quickly took out the fire folds, I didn't expect this thing to fail at a critical time, I threw it aside, ready to fight with the enemy who attacked me, after a period of fighting, my eyes gradually saw something, looked around, but did not find the enemy who attacked meγ Suddenly, a gust of wind came from behind, and I cursed in my heart.
I landed smoothly with a backflip, only to see a five- or six-meter-high giant beast standing in front of me, white all over, it slowly turned around, then I saw its true face, what is the person standing in front of me, what is the wolf in front of me, presumably this is the leader of these ordinary wolves, the wolf king can't hit it, and suddenly becomes furious, and a pair of green eyes instantly turn red.
It walked towards me step by step, the force brought by the tall body made the whole ground tremble, I retreated step by step, when I retreated to the stone wall behind me, I knew that the road could only fight hard, but I didn't expect the seemingly bulky wolf king speed to be so fast, three meters away it only took one step to collapse, stretched out his front paws and slapped down, the whole process did not take more than a second, I didn't react at all, just instinctively urged the true qi to protect the whole body. This shot me out of the body ten meters away, although there is a true qi body, but the wolf king's strength is huge, I now feel that the bones of the whole body are scattered, the wolf king has won twice, more arrogant, it is approaching step by step.
I, Li Yunfei, have never been bullied since I was a child, and now I was beaten by a brute and had no power to fight back, at that moment, my heart was full of anger, clenched my fists, and stood up with the pain in my body, "Lao Tzu fought with you." "I flew up and kicked the wolf king in the chest, but the blow didn't cause any real damage to the wolf king, and I thought that my full blow would at least take a few steps back.
But I was wrong, the wolf king seemed to have spirituality, I saw the corners of its mouth slightly raised, as if to laugh at my weakness, before I landed, the wolf king used his usual trick, raised its powerful front paws, and once again slapped me away, my heart seemed to be greatly insulted, a beast, actually played with me three times and twice, can no longer bear it, the big deal is to die, I have such a thought in my heart.
But I didn't even have the qualifications to die with it, and after another short, the wolf king seemed to have had enough, and it stepped on my waist, and I only felt like a mountain was pressed on my body, which was extremely heavy. I thought I was going to die with this, but I didn't expect that I would be laid off in advance in my twenties, and people in the movie will replay a lot of scenes before they die, and now I know that it is unrealistic. How can I have so much time for you to reminisce, just before my eyes closed, I saw a fire.
When I woke up, it was already dawn, and I found myself lying on a big rock by the river, and I wasn't dead yet?
It turned out that the little wolf slipped away quietly while everyone was asleep, and the first one to find was Xu Qinghuan, she woke everyone up and planned to look around, according to Xu Qinghuan, I didn't wake up after calling me a few times, so I was asked to rest first, and a few people went to look for the little wolf, but I didn't expect an accident to happen after a while. I knew that Lu Dao should have been left to take care of him, Xu Qinghuan said guiltily.
When did I sleep so much, it seems that in this world, I still have to keep a clear mind at all times! In the end, I am still too weak! Yu Jing and Zhang Lei went to find firewood, Xu Lin said: "I haven't eaten for a day, I'm really a little hungry, I'll go and see what game there is." β
At this time, only Xu Qinghuan and I were present, of course, there was also the little wolf in Xu Qinghuan's arms, Xu Qinghuan seemed to be a little shy and lowered his head, I sat down next to the stone where Xu Qinghuan was sitting, Xu Qinghuan subconsciously moved to the side a little, I thought, are ancient people so conservative: "Miss Xu, how did you save me?"
"Oh, it was Brother Yu who rescued you, and he was also injured by that wolf. β
Yu Jing actually saved me in danger several times, in addition to gratitude, I felt more guilty, I was so weak, I needed someone to rescue me every time, and I couldn't help but sigh.
"What is Brother Li sighing for?"
"It's nothing, just call me Yunfei. β
Xu Qinghuan's face flushed slightly, making her even more cute. After a while, Yu Jing and Zhang Lei came back, and brought two hares, Zhang Lei went to the river next to the side to peel the hares alive to make today's lunch. "Brother Yu's injury is fine, right?"
"Oh, it's just some skin trauma, it's not a big deal. Yu Jing said as he lit a fire.
"Brother Yu, do you know where that wolf came from? β
"I don't know how to do it, and I've never seen such a huge wolf, but I know that the wolf is afraid of fire, so when I saw you being injured by that wolf, I threw a torch over. β
"But why does that wolf want to attack you?" Xu Qinghuan asked the question in his heart.
"I guess it's to avenge its offspring, I killed six ordinary wolves. And this little wolf is still in our hands, so I thought I'd better send it back. β
"What? You're saying there are normal wolves out there. Yu Jing looked surprised.
So I briefly recounted what happened in the cave.
"I see, it seems that this is a wolf king, this kind of wolf has appeared once in the Cangxi Empire, and was killed by a junior martial artist, but the one that was killed back then was far less big than the one just now, it is said that this kind of wolf king has spirituality, if you kill its companions, I am afraid that it will suffer endless revenge. Yu Jing put down the firewood in his hand and said. Actually, I had already seen that it was a wolf king, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful, I couldn't go a round under it.
"For now, the only way to do this is to send the little wolf back to the cave, hoping to resolve the conflict. Yu Jing said.
After a full meal, everyone discussed where to go, everyone was confused, now we have become the wanted criminals of the Cangxi Empire, and we really don't know where to go.
"What is the scope of the Cangxi Empire's 'Kill Order'?" Xu Qinghuan asked.
"It's hard to say, it depends on who is being captured and how much the bounty is. Yu Jing said.
"It's better to go to Xiaoxiang's predecessors first, there are still internal injuries in the Yujing realm, so it's not suitable for a long journey. I said to the people. Yu Jing just smiled slightly, telling everyone that his injuries were no longer serious. After some discussion, everyone decided to go to the deep mountains where Xiao Xiangzi, the master of the Feather Realm, lived. Before leaving, I sent the little white wolf back to the entrance of the cave, and the wolf king gave me a meaningful look and did not attack.
