Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dragon's Whisker Illusion

Early the next morning, Qiushui, Zhu Jue, Lin Lin and the old man set off. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Due to the change in the plan, the delay can only be made up by reducing the sleep time as much as possible. I saw Zhu Jue yawning all the way, looking listless. Qiushui was worried that the old man would not be able to walk fast, but later found out that this was completely redundant. The old man's body was very strong, even if he was frightened last night, it didn't cause any effect, and his legs were even more diligent, and he didn't even shout tired after walking more than ten miles.

"I'm used to running around like this every day. If you want to rest, just let me know. The old man patted his chest and said proudly.

Lin Lin replied with a smile: "Even the old man you are not tired, how can we young people be embarrassed to shout tired." It's okay to hurry up and get to the dragon grass as soon as possible. ”

"Squeak!" Totoro cried in Lin Lin's arms, as if in agreement. And poor Zhu Jue, who originally wanted to ask if everyone could take a break, had to swallow all the words in his stomach and continued to move forward silently.

In this way, the four of them, led by a chinchilla, almost all of them hurried to hurry up except for eating and sleeping. Over the course of several days, they gradually approached their destination.

"Hey, the deeper I look, the more barren the Gobi Desert becomes. At first, there were some speckled plants, but now they look around but they are bare, and there is no anger at all, how can the dragon's beard grass grow in such a place, could it be that we are going wrong?" Zhu Jue saw that the situation was not right, and finally stopped and asked curiously.

"Squeak!" Before the others could speak, Totoro first stared at Zhu Jue and barked, as if in protest. "This place is relatively dry, with little rain and low temperatures, which is indeed not suitable for most plants. However, the dragon's beard grass is different, it is said that it likes shade and drought, but it is very likely to grow here. Zhu Jue nodded when he heard this, and then didn't say anything more.

"We've been walking for a few days in a row, if the direction is not wrong, we should have arrived at the place, but we haven't seen any dragon beard grass?" Qiu Shui was as skeptical as Zhu Jue. Hearing him say that, the old man could only shake his head, after all, he had never seen what this dragon beard grass looked like.

Suddenly, a muffled thunder rang in my ears, and dark clouds swirled in the sky, a sign of a change in the sky.

"It's strange, the weather was fine just now, how can you say that thunder is thunder?" Before the words fell, the sky began to rain heavily, and the rain was quite rapid, and it hurt as much as if it had been hit by a stone. Seeing this, the four of them quickly ran to a hill and hid.

"Old man, didn't you say that it hardly rains here, what is the matter with such heavy rain?" Qiu Shui shook the water all over his body and complained there. The old man shrugged his shoulders and said he really didn't know what the situation was.

"Look, there seems to be something in the rain curtain ahead!" At this time, Zhu Jue suddenly found something and pointed outside. When everyone heard Zhu Jue's words, they all turned their heads to look out. I saw that in the heavy rain, a huge black shadow gradually emerged. This thing is unusually burly, more than 20 meters tall, and it is walking slowly towards them at this moment. Zhu Jue and his party were silent, staring cautiously at the black shadow. Lin Lin had already single-handedly taken a stance to prevent possible dangers, and Qiushui also pulled out the Heavenly Demon Divine Sword, and the atmosphere became tense for a while.

Gradually, a black shadow appeared, and it was actually a huge ape, with sharp teeth and muscles, which startled Qiushui and them.

"How can there be such an animal as an ape in this place, which dwells in the forest?, and look at this size, they are all fine!" said the old man in disbelief. Zhu Jue also felt strange, but he didn't have time to think about it now. The monkey in front of him quickly approached, it was huge, majestic, and had the momentum of the Monkey King, but I didn't know whether it was friend or foe.

Zhu Jue soon knew the answer, only to see the ape lower his head, and found Qiushui and the others who were sheltering from the rain under the hills, and directly raised their fists and blasted towards them.

"Run!" Qiushui pulled Zhu Jue, Lin Lin pulled the old man, and several people suddenly rushed out in the rain. In the next second, the hill that had sheltered from the rain just now was flattened with a punch. At this time, Lin Lin recited a spell, only to see the wind blowing around him, and he hit the ape with raindrops on his head and face. Who knew that the raindrops hit the ape, but it didn't work at all. Qiushui pulled out the heavenly evil, and the green light flashed, and he also came to the front of the ape in an instant, and stabbed the sword directly. The blade flashed red, smoothly piercing into the ape's skin. However, the ape was too large, and the length of the sword body was not enough to pierce the epidermis, so presumably, such an attack was not much different from a mosquito bite.

The giant ape roared angrily, and then with a wave of his arm, he flew the autumn water out like a fly. When Lin Lin saw it, he immediately took him down from the wind. Qiushui was not lightly injured this time, knelt on the ground, and spit out a mouthful of blood directly. The monkey didn't seem to have had enough, and rushed towards them with a leap, and with each step the earth shook three times, and it was truly powerful.

Seeing this, Lin Lin had no choice but to grit her teeth, making a gesture in her hands, and her eyes suddenly turned white. The wind began to build up and swirl around her, and endless raindrops swept in with it, forming a mighty waterspout that swept towards the ape. The monkey was also smart, knowing the powerful power contained in the tornado, and did not resist it head-on, but directly turned sideways to avoid it. Lin Lin's hand moved, and the waterspout turned its head flexibly and continued to sweep towards the monkey. After a few rounds, the monkey lost his patience and swung his fist at the waterspout, trying to break the trick with his strength. For a while, the two collided, and the tornado exploded in an instant, and the monkey did not stand firm and was knocked to the ground by the powerful impact. For a moment, the earth cracked, and the scene seemed quite chaotic.

It is said that Zhu Jue and the old man are hiding under another hill at the moment, looking at the fierce battle situation in front of them, although they are anxious, they can't help. Zhu Jue was soaked all over at the moment, shivering with cold there, and the old man's condition was not much better. Squeaky crawled around on the ground, screaming. Seeing this, Zhu Jue reached out and touched his squeaky head: "Little guy, are you also cheering for Qiushui and Lin Lin...... "Suddenly, he noticed a strange phenomenon: it stands to reason that this squeak should have been soaked in the rain with them, but at this time, its fur was dry and soft to the touch, as if it had not been splashed by the rain at all. He picked up Squeak and looked closely, only to see that Squeak's nostrils were stuffed with a few small pieces of gravel, leaving only a little space for breathing.

"Isn't it ......"

At this moment, the ape had risen from the ground again, and it seemed that there was no serious problem. It looked a little annoyed, slapped its fist on its chest, and angrily walked towards Qiushui and them. Qiushui and Lin Lin were both injured to varying degrees, and now they were at the end of their crossbows, and seeing that their moves had no effect on that monster, they both felt a trace of despair in their hearts. Seeing the ape approaching, the two of them no longer struggled, but just clasped their hands and quietly waited for death to come.

"Qiushui, Lin Lin, all you see is an illusion, hold your breath and meditate!" A faint voice came from a distance, and before the two could react, a small mountain of fists struck at them.
