Chapter VII Xuanwu 2
Han Chuyi had already walked back to the inside of the labyrinth, and at a corner, he saw Xie Qixuan sitting on the ground and the silverfish that continued to wail on the ground. Its wings had been cut off to the ground, and the water it had summoned seemed to have receded completely, except for the occasional jet of water that it spat out like a child's water gun.
Xie Qixuan leaned against the stone wall, holding his knees and barely standing up. He wasn't in much better shape than a silverfish, his left arm seemed to be completely dislocated, swinging in the air like a balloon, and blood was oozing from his shoulder. The skin of the limbs was whitened by blisters, and layers of skin had been upturned.
"Whew!" He spat out a mouthful of blood that had turned dark red, and although there appeared to be only some skin wounds to his waist, his stomach felt as if it had been thrown into a meat grinder. Xie Qixuan glanced at the person from the broken hair of his bangs, and he sneered: "You, cough cough!" He couldn't spit out a word, his waist that had finally straightened up had bent down, and the mouth he was desperately covering was filled with a smell of blood.
"Long time no see, Brother Xie." The corners of Han Chuyi's mouth hung up in a perfect arc, "I think you shouldn't know me, but you are still as soft-hearted as ever, let us come in with you." His brow furrowed slightly, and his expression became serious. "I'm sorry, I don't have time to get you out right now, but you're not going to die here."
Xie Qixuan stared at the man in front of him solemnly, who was he? Xie Qixuan felt that his brain was a little swollen, but even if he looked through his memories, he couldn't find a single memory of him. He wanted to open his mouth to question, but again, he was afraid that he would really die in it.
Han Chuyi stepped forward and tried to support Xie Qixuan. But as soon as the other party's shoulder turned, the dislocated arm threw at Han Chuyi, forcing him back again.
Han Chuyi lowered his head a little lost, and the long eyelashes that made women envious fluttered down, and when he raised his head again, he had already changed back to that friendly expression with a smile. Xie Qixuan's blood-stained eyebrows were twisted together, it was true that he had seen all kinds of people, and he was friendly to strangers, but he had really never seen this kind of "natural familiarity", using affectionate names to people who had just met for less than a day, but saying words that seemed to care but ignored others.
"If you have stomach bleeding, it's better to lie down. It's best to find a rock to rest on. But Brother Xie should know better than me, hahaha. Han Chuyi touched the back of his head, "... It's time for me to go. ”
"Wait..."Xie Qixuan tried to suppress the commotion in his throat, but before he could spit out a complete sentence, the man turned around and left, as if Fang Cai's reminder was his last kindness.
What a self-centered stinky boy. Xie Qixuan pursed the corners of his mouth and lay on the stony ground where the water marks had not yet dried. When will Yu Qian come, can she find her way?
-In the depths of the North Palace, Yin Su and Zhao Hui-
"Hmm, ahh Zhao Hui let out a cry that echoed throughout the cave. In normal times, he would have been ashamed to hear the echo of his own screams, but now he doesn't care about that. If it weren't for Han Chuyi pointing out the Kui Niu they encountered before, he wouldn't know what kind of monster it was. But standing in front of him is one of the four well-known divine beasts, as long as you have been to elementary school, you know a little bit of the legend of Xuanwu.
Impossible! Without that stinky boy, how could a retired policeman who is not a good mess beat such a behemoth! Zhao Hui's feet trembled uncontrollably, his pupils shrank sharply, and he didn't even know where to focus, he was afraid that he would faint when he looked at the behemoth again. If this is a must-lose battle, then...
It's just a matter of running away!
Yin Su was behind Zhao Hui, and it was a few seconds late to see the true face of the "snake", and she also wanted to scream like Zhao Hui, but there were only a few dumb roars on her lips. Fear blocked her throat, and only cold sweat enveloped her entire body disobediently.
At this time, Zhao Hui grabbed Yin Su's skinny forearm and directly dragged her forward from under Xuanwu.
"Uh-huh!" A stream of water swept by, leaving a deep mark a few inches in front of Zhao Hui's feet.
How fast is it to cut a stone like this with water?!
"Don't be afraid, little ones. I'm not so ruthless as to kill you. A slightly ethereal male voice came from above.
At this time, Yin Su should still be under Xuanwu's huge back armor, but his thick limbs could not be seen everywhere. Although the headlamp could illuminate the road more than ten meters away, none of them noticed that there was a "man" standing in front of them.
It is better to say that it is a man than a giant, although it is much better than the giant tortoise that is out of sight, but the figure of the person in front of him is still tall, and he should be more than two meters old. He wore long hair, held a sword in his right hand and a shield in his left, and his eyebrows were inverted, and his face was fierce. It's like a person who has stepped out of a painting... Door God.
"I am Xuantian God, although many people have heard the name of Xuanwu, but few people know this name." Xuantian God bent down and "faced" Zhao Hui and Yin Su. Zhao Hui hurriedly raised the gun with trembling hands, and pulled Yin Su back with his other hand. He could feel the god's snort spread over his face, like a high-speed air conditioner.
"It's really wronged to shrink yourself to this size, so let's solve it as soon as possible. I have no intention of harming the people here. It's just that a friend has asked me to come and guard this place, and I have to do the task he gave me. You must not go any further. ”
What is the difference between Beigong and other palaces! Zhao Hui gritted his teeth, he hadn't seen any divine beasts before! He finally understood when he came here, the so-called reward is the most generous, and it is simply hearsay! No one can pass through this place at all!
"Then why are you blocking the way back, isn't this causing us to perish in this corridor? What's the difference between taking human life and taking human life?! Yin Su grabbed Zhao Hui's shoulders with both hands. Her legs bent slightly, trembling with a frequency visible to the naked eye, but she still yelled at Xuanwu, no, it should be said that it was Xuantian God.
"Blocking the road?" Xuantian God tilted his head and pouted as if a child had been wronged, "I didn't do such superfluous things. I'm just using a little trick to trap you here. But... If you mean the shaking just now...... I may know whose actions it was. Did he want you to die here? It's kind of funny, in order to keep my face from being swept away, and for his little bit of caution, you have to end your life here today~"
Not you, but you? Zhao Hui's right hand held the gun tightly: "Could it be that "he" is your friend?" ”
Xuantian God looked at Zhao Hui with some surprise, and then laughed: "Hahaha, indeed, it can be half right." ”
“?”
"It's okay not to know now," he said, plunging his sword into the ground, "but you won't know either!" With a slight twist of his wrist, the entire blade of the sword rotated 90 degrees to the left. Immediately, Zhao Hui and Yin Su felt the ground under their feet begin to vibrate, and a crack slowly spread between the two.
"Crackling ———" was like the sound of a dead branch being broken, and the ground under the feet of the two cracked in response, and the sand and gravel fell as if it were collapsing except where they stood. It wasn't a cave, but a "promenade" that stood on the surface of the river, and the lower one was the upper reaches of the rushing river! The huge stones stirred up a thousand waves, lapping and wearing away the pillars that supported them. In an instant, they became two isolated islands standing on the water.
Although Yin Su and Zhao Hui were scared to the point that their feet were weak, they quickly regained their composure after experiencing all kinds of adventures. Zhao Hui looked down slightly, the height was not much different from before, but the river was obviously wider than the previous river, but the flow was almost still.
In the water, there are a few pieces scattered like the foothills of cement blocks after a rainstorm, but there are some small points on their backs, which feel more like soft stone paths for massage.
Zhao Hui narrowed his eyes. As a former police officer, the naked vision requirement is 4.8 or above, and although he has been retired for a long time, he does not feel that he has regressed.
That's right... That's a crocodile.
The loosening caused by the collapse was not completely over, and a small rock at Yin Su's feet fell, hitting the front end of one of the "trails". I saw that it suddenly opened its slightly long bloody mouth, and its sharp teeth were undoubtedly able to bite off human bones, and its two black bean-like eyes were finally clear.
"What are you doing with so many strange things here, raising Gu?!" Zhao Hui pointed the muzzle of the gun at the eyebrows of Xuantian God. He's just a man with little patience, and he says that he will let them go and kill them for a while? If the gods are such reckless characters, then what is the point of this "sacrifice"! He, those of them who are suffering from hunger, will not return to normal life at all!
Yin Su closed her eyes as if she had made up her mind, and when she opened them again, her golden eyes seemed to burst out with scattered light. She took out the bow she hung on her back, and then took out an arrow and mounted it on the bow, and with her forearm forced, she aimed the direction at the Xuantian God. The arm, which didn't have much flesh, trembled slightly under the tension, although the green tendons on her arms were very obvious, but she didn't have the strength to make a shocking scene of "green tendons bursting".
The collapsed part rested at the god's feet. He chuckled in surprise, squinting his eyes and shaking his head, as if he were looking at a grandchild who refused to go to elementary school, and he was not even prepared to draw his sword.
"Bang!" "Whoosh!"
Again, they shot at the same time, but this time, instead of aiming their weapons at each other, they faced a common enemy.
