Chapter 229: Safe Passage of the Wind
The sandworms first dug a hole more than half a zhang wide and more than a zhang high at the bottom, and it was not until they dug twenty or thirty zhang deep into the hole that they dug straight forward. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yao Chongzhong deliberately arranged for the sand worms to dig holes, and he had two purposes, one was to avoid the hard soil and rocks, and the other was to avoid the strong cold.
The height of more than 20 zhang is more appropriate, not deep nor shallow, deep can certainly make the crypt warmer, the disadvantage is that it is not easy to control the direction, easy to deviate; shallow can not isolate the cold.
After waiting for the sandworms to dig straight forward for more than fifty zhang, Yao Chongzhong ordered Jiang Xiaoyu and the others to enter the crypt, and he pressed the formation behind.
The chill in the crypt is much weaker than the ground, but it doesn't mean it's warm. Yao Chongzhong let the two fire dragons accompany Jiang Xiaoyu and the others, one is to add fire to them, and the other is to add some light to them.
After Jiang Xiaoyu and the others entered the crypt, Yao Chong collected the remaining few fire dragons, and he felt that the chill around him suddenly became much more intense, but fortunately, he had filled his armor with flames before, so that he would not be frozen.
Yao Chongzhong climbed down and slowly made the Ruyi Thunder Axe smaller, which he did to prevent the gale wind from blowing him away.
Putting away the Ruyi Thunder Axe, Yao Chongzhong hurriedly jumped into the crypt, and ran to the side of the fire dragon in a hurry, he was fast, the cold was faster than him, and in an instant, his whole body became white.
Jiang Xiaoyu looked curious, and touched Yao Chongzhong's armor with his hand, his fingers just touched the white thing, his palm and his face became pale, and his whole body froze.
Yao Chongzhong's eyes were quick, and he poured a trace of flame with his finger and placed it under Jiang Xiaoyu's palm, and then he recited the incantation.
The flames slowly sank into Jiang Xiaoyu's palm, his palm gradually regained its blood color, and a thin layer of white mist rose on his face.
Yao Chongzhong exhaled and said, "Okay, I'm finally alive." A thin white mist also formed around him.
The black loach said suspiciously: "Brother Yao, I don't understand your words very well, what is 'coming to life'?
Yao Chongzhong said with a guilty face: "This is my carelessness, the little fish suffers; the white things on my body just now are extremely cold cold, not ordinary frost; after the little fish's fingers touched it, those extremely cold chills went down his fingers into the bone marrow of his body, freezing his whole body white; I forced the flames into his body, dissolving the chill of his whole body, and he was relieved. ”
The black loach tilted its tongue out of its mouth and muttered, "My mother! Such a terrible chill! Fortunately, I didn't touch Brother Yao's armor, if I went, this black hair would probably turn white." His words relieved the chill in the crypt, and everyone smiled when they heard it.
Jiang Xiaoyu said embarrassedly: "Brother Yao, you all blame me, you shouldn't rashly touch your armor, I'm asking for my own hardship." ”
Yao Chongzhong smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Xiao Yu'er, don't blame yourself." Let's go, if we don't go, we won't be able to catch up with the sandworm brothers. ”
After Yao Chongzhong finished speaking, everyone looked back, and sure enough, the dark crypt ground in front of them not only did not have the sound and shadow of ground sandworms, but even the sound of them digging holes could not be heard.
Not only did everyone secretly admire, but the hands and feet of the ground sandworm were really fast, and after a short period of effort, they dug a long section of the burrow.
The crowd quickened their pace, and it took a meal to catch up with the sandworms.
The sandworms continued to dig for more than half an hour, and the eye of the earth stopped them, saying that they had passed the crypt and had passed several miles of the mountains, and that they did not need to dig any further, but only dug a diagonal hole out of the ground.
To be on the safe side, when the sand worms dug to the last moment, Yao Chongzhong asked them to leave a layer of one-inch-thick soil and rocks not to dig, and he would use the Ruyi Thunder Axe to poke them open.
After all the sandworms retreated to the crypt, Yao Chongzhong carefully poked a small hole with the handle of his axe, and a chill flowed in and onto his face, and his eyes closed involuntarily for a while.
It seems that it is still extremely cold outside, and I don't know if there is still a strong wind, Yao Chongzhong put his ear close to the round hole and listened, but he didn't hear the sound of the wind, which is a good thing.
Yao Chongzhong released all the fire dragons, let the two fire dragons spit out flames around him, forming a circle of flames, and let the other four spit out flames around Jiang Xiaoyu and the others to form a circle of flames. He put some flames in his armor and was ready for it.
After making sufficient preparations, Yao Chongzhong took the Ruyi Thunder Axe and stabbed it hard, shattering all the barriers behind the inch.
Yao Chongzhong came out of the crypt alone, he just walked on the ground, there was a loud "crunch" sound under his feet, he suddenly stopped, raised his feet and looked at his feet, there was a pile of black powder under his feet.
Yao Chongzhong put down his feet and looked around for a while, everywhere he looked, everywhere was gloomy; a mile away, a few black shadows were scattered everywhere, looming, it should be some stone hills, some of them looked like some hidden beasts; four or five miles away, there was an extremely long high mountain, and there was a stone cave in the middle of the mountain.
The cave seems to run through the entire mountain range, but why does the cave over there emit a continuous gale wind, but not on this side? Yao Chongzhong's curiosity grew, and he wanted to go to the cave to see what was going on.
A chill fell over him, pouring out Yao's heavy curiosity and clearing his mind, and when he looked at both sides, he saw that the flames spit out by the two fire dragons were much smaller, and it seemed that they could barely hold on.
Yao Chongzhong hurriedly beckoned Jiang Xiaoyu and the others to the ground, allowing the six fire dragons to connect together, and they regained their vitality.
After being busy, Jiang Xiaoyu and the others also discovered the mysterious stone cave, and they had the same idea as Yao Chongzhong in their hearts, and they were all curious and wanted to go over and have a look.
After everyone agreed, they were about to go into the cave to find out, but the black loach suddenly ran to the front, stopped everyone and said, "Slow down, everyone!
Everyone was stunned and stopped their steps, Jiang Xiaoyu said playfully: "Black loach, we have all said it, your feet haven't taken half a step, why did you change your hexagram, this is not like your style!"
The black loach said: "I don't say it doesn't count, I think of a problem, and I must say it!
The black loach spoke in a heavy tone, Jiang Xiaoyu put away his playful heart, and said solemnly: "Black loach, whatever you think, say it! We will definitely consider what you say." ”
The black loach looked at the cave over there, and said in a low voice: "What I think of is that maybe there is a monster living in that cave that can swallow the wind! When we were on the other side of the mountain, it must have seen us, so it released a strong wind, in order to prevent us from going to its territory; then it saw that we were gone, so it didn't continue to release the wind, so we didn't encounter a gale here; now we go, won't we provoke it again? It will definitely release gale again, aren't we asking for our own suffering?" Think about it. ”
When everyone heard this, they all felt that there was some truth in the words of the black loach, the same stone cave, while the wind was raging, and the wind did not move, and no one believed it if there was no Tao in it.
Therefore, it is very possible to say that there is a monster that can let off the wind in it, and it is reasonable to prevent others from entering its territory and let the wind stop.
Even if there are no monsters in it that can let off the wind, it is better to have more than one thing, it is better to be cautious and not to go, so as not to cause trouble and trouble.
There are many black stones on the road ahead, as long as you step on it, there will be a "crunch" sound, Yao Chongzhong's body is the largest, and the heaviest, so when he walks, the sound is relatively loud, in order to avoid noisy monsters in the stone cave, he walks on tiptoe, and the soles of his feet dare not all fall to the ground.
Jiang Xiaoyu's body is smaller, and his body is much lighter, even if he stepped on the black stone, his voice is much smaller, when he walks, he should be as careful as possible, and he doesn't need to stand on tiptoe.
As for the Netherworld King, his people, and the brothers of the martial arts, their bodies were fleshless and boneless, almost weightless, and they walked without stepping on the black stones, and even if they occasionally stepped on them, the sound was extremely slight.
The sandworms have no legs, they walk on their bellies, and they walk as if they were playing the harp and drums, and they crunch and crunch loudly.
After walking less than a zhang, the sandworms in the land refused to go any further, and if they went on, they were afraid that they would bring the monsters that would let off the wind come over and harm Yao Chongzhong and the others, so they asked to return to their kingdom.
Yao Chongzhong persuaded him, but he didn't persuade him, so he took out the Ruyi Orb and opened the light door to the Earth Sandworm Kingdom, letting them go back.
After sending away the sandworms in the land, Yao Chongzhong still walked on his feet, and he was okay at first, he walked steadily, his body did not shake, and when he walked more than a mile, he was not so stable when he walked.
The black loach glanced at Yao Chongzhong a few times, and simply sat on the ground, his body trembling with crooked teeth and crooked laughter.
Yao Chongzhong walked attentively and did not notice the appearance of the black loach.
It was Wugong who first noticed that the black loach made strange movements, and he pulled Jiang Xiaoyu and said, "Brother Xiaoyuer, do you see that the black loach is going crazy when he walks?"
Jiang Xiaoyu was also concentrating on walking, when he suddenly heard such a sentence, he was a little surprised, and then took a closer look at the black loach, and found that it was not sick, and it was completely gloating; he walked forward, grabbed its ear, and said: "Black loach, you are secretly happy alone, and you have remembered something happy?"
The black loach straightened his mouth and said, "Little fish, I saw the way Brother Yao walked, and I remembered the old hens in Sanjia Village, they also walked like this, and shook their buttocks. ”
