Chapter 55: Sniping the Water Spirit
My uncle and I quietly hid in the weeds by the river, and when the water spirit appeared, we wiped it out in one fell swoop. The moon is exceptionally bright tonight, and from time to time there are a few bird-like creatures flying over in the night sky. We were still waiting for a long time, when the water spirit beast did not appear for a long time, and I was about to lose patience, there was movement on the surface of the water. By the moonlight, I saw a fluctuation on the water surface in the center of the Black Dragon Pond, and when the water surface was calm, I looked at the Black Dragon Pond again, and it was still as calm as ever. I was about to get up to investigate, but the old man held me down and whispered to me that the water spirit beast had appeared.
I looked around, but I didn't see anything, and the old man motioned me to look at the river, and following his gaze, I saw the creature by the river peeking out of the water. It was a very strange-looking creature, with four mismatched legs striding towards the riverbank, and I hurriedly leaned down. The water spirit's front legs are longer than the hind legs, and this is the first time I've seen a creature other than a monkey with longer front legs than its hind legs.
If that's all it takes, it's not enough to shock me, it's its head that shocks me. It was an oval head, like an egg standing on the ground, slightly larger on top, with a slender eye standing out in the middle of its forehead, and a mouth protruding outward, revealing two rows of sharp teeth. The water spirit beast has no ears, the top of its head is as smooth as an egg, its blood-red body is more than ten meters long, its front legs alone are three meters long, and there is a long tail behind its body.
The old man quietly told me not to act rashly, the water spirit beast is very cunning, if he is allowed to escape back to the Black Dragon Pool, it will be difficult to deal with underwater. The old man formed an invisible barrier to wrap the area we were in, so as to block the aura emanating from our bodies. I didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, for fear of alarming the water spirit beast. The water spirit beast wriggled its huge head and looked at it, then strode towards the grove on the shore. Fortunately, contrary to the place where we were hiding, seeing that the water spirit beast was gradually moving away, I was about to leave, and the old man held me down again.
"Don't move, just watch again. The old man said softly.
The water spirit beast walked to the edge of the woods, and was not in a hurry to walk in, but turned around around around the edge of the woods with its head down, as if looking for something. After a while, the water spirit beast seemed to have found what it was looking for, and he stretched out one of his front legs and slapped it down on the ground. The ground was already soft, and this time, the ground collapsed directly.
It turned out that the ground was empty, and after the water spirit beast broke through the surface, it raised its head and looked around, and suddenly its eyes locked on the grass where we were hiding, could it have been discovered? The water spirit beast stared at the grass where we were hiding for a long time, and when it saw that there was no movement, it jumped into the deep pit. I let out a long breath, stood up, tapped the ground on tiptoe and stepped into the pit. The old man floated over directly, and I was about to ask, but the old man suddenly covered my mouth. I was forcibly dragged to the weeds where I was hiding, and he let go of his hand and said, "I feel the danger." ”
"Is it a water spirit animal?" I asked.
The old man shook his head, "No, let's observe first." ”
The creatures that can make the old man feel dangerous, what else will there be besides the water spirit, I can't think of a reason, so I have to listen to the old man's arrangement and observe patiently. The moon hung high, and a breeze blew, but there was no movement except for a few leaves that drifted in the wind.
At this time, the wind suddenly rose, the wind was very strong, the weeds rustled, the grass scratched the skin, the itch was unbearable, I stretched out my hand and scratched my neck, and the old man pressed my raised arm down. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and with the strong wind, a few big birds slowly flew from the sky in the distance, and this time I found it without being reminded by the old man, because the shadow of the big bird had been cast on the ground in front of me.
Could it be that the danger that the old man said came from these birds, the big bird flapped its wings and landed next to the deep pit where the water spirit jumped down, I looked carefully, there were three birds, each of which was two meters high. Strangely enough, these three big birds were all standing upright on the ground, with tall bodies, and if it weren't for those wings betraying them, I would have taken them for human beings.
The big bird in the lead looked into the pit and jumped into it, followed by the other two birds. Uncle and I followed closely to the side of the pit, it was pitch black inside, could it be that those big birds have night vision. I started the mark on my forehead and looked into the pit, which was very open, and the bottom of the pit was about three feet above the ground. I looked at it and didn't find anything unusual, so I jumped down, it turned out that there was a corridor that had been extending inside, I beckoned the old man to come down, and cautiously groped my way into the corridor.
Walking into the depths of the road, there are several forked intersections in front, there are two roads on the left and right, and there is a relatively wide road in front. Which way to go, my uncle and I are in a dilemma. After some discussion, the old man and I decided to go to the right side of the road, what the old man meant was that the right side was extended in the direction of the woods, but the left side was extended towards the Black Dragon Pond, and it was impossible for the water spirit to come out of the Black Dragon Pond and return to the Black Dragon Pond from the Yong Road. The old man and I chose the right side of the road, the old man walked in front, I followed closely behind the old man, and looked back from time to time, now we have to face not only the water spirit beast, but also the three big birds.
Walked forward for a long time, the road seems to have no end, go forward and walk a distance, then there is a fork in the road in front of you, the road to the end, and a left and a right two roads in front of you, this uncle is simply a maze! can not go on like this, according to the old man, we continue to walk to the right, before entering the road, I poked a hole in the stone wall with my fingers.
The further you go down the road, the more space there is, and in the depths of the road, a space as large as a basketball court appears in front of you, and in the corner of the wall stands a black shadow, who obviously did not notice us. I crept closer to the dark shadow and saw that it was the big bird I had seen earlier on the shore, and the big bird leaned down and seemed to be looking for something. I approached quietly, and the Ice Sword instantly slashed down at its head, and the Ice Sword became extremely clear in my hand, and the sword body did not approach the target, and the sword qi had already attacked the target's neck first.
The big bird seemed to sense the danger, and hurriedly lowered his head to narrowly avoid the fatal blow, and the big bird's reaction speed was beyond my expectations. One blow didn't make me take a step forward, and another sword slashed down, no matter where it fell, in short, my target was the big bird in front of me. As I slashed down, the big bird turned around and grabbed my ice sword with an outstretched hand, a gesture that froze me on the spot. Where is the bird in front of me, it is clearly a human with wings, the appearance of a human being, and the hands of a human being.
No, it can't be human, it can't be a human with wings, let's call it a birdman. The birdman's actions made me stunned on the spot, the ice sword was tightly held in the birdman's hand, the corner of the birdman's mouth hung a sneer, and the other hand slapped at my chest in the form of a palm, I woke up from the shock and hastily slapped a palm. The palms struck each other, and a powerful impact erupted, shattering a large piece of stone on the ground and stone walls. Birdman clearly underestimated my strength, smiled and clenched his fist and slammed it down on my face. I quickly activated my true qi, and two golden pillars of light radiated from my eyes, and the birdman's body was pierced by the pillars of light, and red blood spurted out of the birdman's chest.
After solving the birdman, I went to the corner to check it out. During this period, the old man has been watching the battle behind my back, and he has no intention of making a move, maybe the old man thinks I can deal with it myself. As the old man thought, I can indeed deal with it, although I don't know what stage I am in now, but I still have confidence in my strength, even if the martial arts are strong, there is a chance to fight. The ground in the corner of the wall was covered with reddish flowers, could it be dragon grass. Murong Xue once told me about the appearance of the dragon grass, presumably these are the dragon grass, I put the dragon grass into the space ring, then turned around with the old man and returned, just stepped into the corridor, two figures came to me, it was the two accomplices of the dead birdman.
