One, Tai Chi Xuanjing 61. Jiaolong

What is a dragon?

Rumor Goes:

Jiao dives in the water, goes up along the big river, the world for a thousand years, collects the essence of heaven and earth, regards it as a walking Jiao, and then travels for a thousand years, and then enters the sea and turns into a dragon.

As the saying goes, the submarine Jiao is a dragon for thousands of years, and the Jiaojiao will turn into a dragon when it enters the sea.

At a glance, this can no longer be called a tiger Jiao, walking Jiao, or a Jiaolong is more appropriate.

The long horn on his forehead broke through the water all the way, and the crystal light directly covered the shining waves, which was dazzling.

Looking at the behemoth in front of them, everyone's confidence in defeating the tiger group suddenly decreased, and after this dragon appeared, it rushed out of the water.

The eyes of all the eyes revealed a fierce coldness, and a few people who didn't care about it, with a big mouth, a tiger Jiao beside him, was swallowed by it without resistance, and there was no sound.

In such a bloody and brutal scene, the other tiger Jiao trembled in fright, and did not dare to resist at all, and did not even have the strength to stand up, and directly prostrate on the ground.

The people of Ping'an were similar, and they couldn't raise any resistance at all, and some people had already looked around and began to think about taking the opportunity to escape.

However, if they don't even have the courage to do it, they are obviously unwilling, while Jiaolong is still chewing the food in his mouth, now, is the best opportunity.

It was Master Jane again, and without saying a word, a silver light flew out of his hand, aiming directly at the other party's eyes.

But he still looked down on the dragon that had existed for thousands of years, looking at the silver light from the lightning, it was not in the slightest hurry at all, its mouth opened, and a huge roar came out, heading straight for the silver light that flew in.

The voice was like a dragon's roar, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low, mixed with a force like wind and waves, which rushed straight to the eardrums.

Soon, the two met in mid-air, and the silver light could no longer advance a little, and flew upside down in mid-air for a while, and then fell heavily to the ground.

This......

Looking at the disdain in Jiaolong's eyes, how could Master Jian be willing, he couldn't care about anything else, and his ability to press the bottom of the box was used, his sleeves and wrists trembled, and he didn't know where to take out a delicate bow and crossbow.

Looking at this bow and crossbow that was only the size of an arm, Ping An became even more curious,

You must know that in Daqin, crossbows can only be used in the army, and the people are not allowed, and the management of bows and crossbows is very strict.

Master Jane actually has it, and the crossbow that looks very clumsy can't be compared with it at all, no matter in terms of the delicacy of the workmanship materials, it is a world of difference.

They were more curious about his identity, but the others were not.

With the bow and crossbow in his hand, Master Jane didn't say a word, his wrist shook slightly, and he pulled the trigger three times in a row.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh,"

Three times in a row, the three crossbow arrows are divided into three directions, and almost in no particular order, they divide the three positions of the dragon, which are the head, body, and tail.

Everyone couldn't help but look forward to it, and their eyes stared at the three crossbow arrows without blinking.

The first one reached the head of the Jiaolong dragon, and the Jiaolong, as before, did not have the slightest intention of dodging, but opened its mouth lightly, and bit the crossbow arrow steadily.

Immediately, the teeth closed lightly, "clicked", and directly bit the crossbow into pieces, and it spit it out.

What?

Immediately after the second arrow came, it went straight to its huge body, this time Jiaolong was even more disdainful, and he didn't even bother to dodge, and let the crossbow arrow hit his body.

With a "bell", such a powerful crossbow arrow did not penetrate its body at all, and even the solid scales were not shaken, only a white dot-like mark was left on it, and the crossbow arrow fell to the ground.

What?

The third arrow followed, taking the tail of the dragon, this time more crisply,

The dragon didn't even look at it, its tail swept across, and directly swept the lightning-like crossbow arrow, it flew to the side without any resistance, and hit the dead wood on the side, and entered the wood for three points.

What?

Three arrows in a row made several people exclaim three times in a row, one more shocked than the other, and now everyone couldn't calm down anymore.

The facts are right in front of you, the powerful bow and crossbow haven't even broken the dragon's defense, can a few people be able to defeat it at close range?

Through the temptation, it is no longer a question of whether it can be defeated, but whether it can be retreated, because of the previous battle, the trust that everyone had built up with great difficulty, and the hearts of all people collapsed in an instant.

At this moment, Master Jane's face was full of unwillingness, but he could only whisper helplessly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are really unlucky this time, so we can only get here, so let's run for our lives and make plans again."

The words revealed endless sadness and helplessness, eagerly, and the others did not speak, they each glanced at each other, and they had already made a decision in their hearts.

Even if you are unwilling, this time you can only go up the mountain to this end, and only escaping is undoubtedly the best choice.

Where there is life, there is hope.

Sighing secretly, everyone nodded helplessly.

Taking advantage of the fact that Jiaolong opened his mouth again and swallowed another tiger Jiao into his belly, Lord Jane's eyes lit up and he snorted softly,

"It's now, let's go!"

After saying that, his body flashed and ran towards the side of the lower reaches of the river, while the others moved at the same time, but Ping An did not rush to one side like them, but ran in the opposite direction, the upper reaches of the river.

The others gradually noticed that something was wrong, turned their heads to look, and were shocked, and in the puzzled eyes of several people, Ping An gradually drifted away and gradually widened the distance.

Now that the path chosen by Ping An and everyone is clearly distinguished, it is very obvious that others are not good to say anything about his decision.

After all, they don't want to give up, but the situation forces them, and not everyone has the courage to continue.

Although there was some curiosity about why Ping An wanted to go up the mountain stronger than them, these doubts could only be suppressed in the bottom of their hearts at the moment, after all, they were now in danger.

Sure enough, the next moment, King Jiao found that several people had started to run away, and he was angry and roared to the sky.

The huge tail swept around, and the surrounding tiger Jiao, who originally wanted to come forward and get close, suffered, and died when they touched it, and died when they touched it.

In this regard, Jiaolong didn't care, looked left and right at the two waves of people who fled separately, it hesitated slightly, and roared at the remaining tiger Jiao,

Immediately, the huge body turned, rushed into the river, went upstream, and chased in the direction of peace.

The other tiger Jiao also turned around and ran into the river, and they went down the river, chasing An Gongzi and the others, and the speed was much faster.

The speed of the tiger Jiao in the water can reach the extreme, and it is impossible to escape at all, and with the addition of the downstream, it is impossible for Lord Jian and the others to escape, and in a moment, they have already chased a few steps behind them.

But at this moment, everyone was not panicked, but a little happy, and even hesitated in their hearts, whether to go with the peace of the few people put away their thoughts, after all, it is better to face the tiger Jiao than to face the dragon.

Even felt a little guilty about Ping An in his heart, and a little bit hoped that Ping An could hold on for a while, not let Jiaolong chase after him immediately, and buy more time for himself, such contradictions filled everyone's hearts.

Since there is no way to escape, then kill them, calmly retreat, Lord Jane and the three of them simply made a discussion, turned their bodies at the same time, and slowly began to move away from the big river, towards the direction of the mountains and forests,

Now, for the tiger Jiao in the water, the advantage of speed has become extremely embarrassing.

Putting aside the table for the time being, the peace in the other direction is exactly the opposite of their choice, although the speed of the dragon is much faster than that of the tiger, especially in the water,

But now it is swimming against the current, which gives Ping An a great opportunity, and under the full run, there is a faint tendency to pull away.

Therefore, he didn't dare to leave the shore, who knows if the Jiaolong is on land, without the barrier of the big river, the speed will be faster, after all, the Jiaolong is also known as the Jiaolong.

Of course, he also knew that such a situation could not be sustained for too long, and his physical strength was limited, so he could only seize the opportunity, distance himself, and then make another plan.

But he obviously took it for granted, if it continued according to his assumption, maybe it would be possible to escape from Jiaolong's hands today, but accidents always came unexpectedly, and there was no time to prepare at all.

No, after a bend in the river, the upstream suddenly became less turbulent, and the river surface became a lot wider, naturally, for the dragon in the water, the resistance will be smaller.

This is a bit unexpected for Ping An, if it goes on like this, it won't take a few steps, and the distance that he has managed to pull away will be wiped out by Jiaolong in an instant.

When the time comes, the only thing waiting for him is to be torn apart by the angry dragon, and there is no other way.

What to do?

At this moment, here is only a dozen zhang away from the corner of the upstream in front of us, where the water flow has become gentle, according to the speed of Ping An at this moment, it is just a matter of a few breaths,

So leave a safe time to make a decision, and there is only a few breaths left.

In such a short period of time, even if the brain is spinning rapidly, it may not be enough.

Now it seems that the route of escaping along the river will not work, then there is only one way left, away from the river, running towards the mountains and forests, if the speed of the dragon on land is about the same as that in the water, then it is also the day to kill me!

The decision has almost been made, and just as Ping An is ready to be implemented, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashes in his mind,

Wait, who's to say there's only one way to go?

The river that slows down ahead, isn't it a good opportunity, if you can wade through, you can directly climb to the opposite side of the mountain that is not too high, walk Jiaojiao, not flying,

If he could control the clouds, he would have turned into a dragon a long time ago, not to mention himself, even Lord Jian and the others would have no chance to escape.

It's just how deep this river is, will it affect your wading, once there is any hesitation in the process, then you will have no power to struggle in the hands of the king of the water.

However, putting aside these external factors that may and may not happen, and calculate the distance safely, I am half sure that I can rush to the other side of the river before the dragon arrives.

As for the distance from the other side to the mountain wall, it is a little too late.

Should you give it a try?
