Chapter Forty-Eight: Falling Off the Cliff
Xia Shiqing took a closer look in the direction where the sound came from through the moonlight, only to see that the dark dense forest obscured her vision, and the sound seemed to gradually become weaker, she hesitated slightly and jumped onto another tree, and when she jumped up the fifth lesson tree in a row, the voice was already close at hand.
She condescendingly observed the weeds, and a cry for help came intermittently: "Help...... Help me...... Wail...... Quack ......"
Under her efforts to identify, she saw a big dark green toad with wide eyes struggling in the weeds, this toad seemed to be half a human height, and its body seemed to be restrained by something and could not move, its big eyes protruded outward, and its big mouth couldn't help but pant heavily, as if it was about to die.
Xia Shiqing secretly wondered that she was holding the hilt of the sword tightly in her hand, this big toad seemed to be bound by some creature, seeing that it was about to die, she thought about it slightly or was about to jump down to find out, just when she was about to jump down, she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a creature moving slowly in the moonlight, she tried hard to observe and saw that the big toad was bound by a big snake, the big snake was transparent and hidden in the grass, if it wasn't for it to raise its head and open its big mouth to swallow the big toad, She couldn't find out!
Xia Shiqing no longer hesitated, she aimed at the big snake's open mouth, and the long sword in her hand shot out!
There was a soft "poof" sound, and the upper jaw of the big snake was pierced by a long sword!
The big snake's body was loose and writhing, and the splashes of blood stained its transparent body red, and Xia Shiqing saw clearly that its huge body was as thick as an adult's head.
With a writhing of the big snake, the big toad finally relieved itself, it breathed greedily with its big mouth open, and at the same time continued to let out a cry for help in its throat: "Help...... Help......"
Xia Shiqing saw the opportunity to jump down from the tree, she took out her spare long sword and stabbed at the head of the big snake!
"Huh!" With a bang, this sword pierced into the seven inches of the big snake, which was its vital point, but this sword pierced a few inches and could not advance a single inch with the contraction of the big snake's muscles, as if it was pierced on the elastic thick cotton.
The big snake's cold eyes stared at Xia Shiqing, and it opened its mouth and bit her like lightning!
Although Xia Shiqing wanted to draw her sword to resist, the long sword was caught by the muscles of the big snake like a quagmire, and in desperation, she had no choice but to let go of the long sword and jump back, and at the same time hit her hand with both hands: "Spirit Wood Wood Dragon Technique!" ”
The cyan wooden dragon unceremoniously roared out and bit the neck of the big snake!
The big snake sensed the strength of the other party and no longer dared to resist, so he could only hiss and desperately tried his way out of the shackles of the wooden dragon, and then ran into the grass.
How could Xia Shiqing allow it to escape, she chased a few steps but saw the big snake jump off the cliff, its soft body hanging on the branches that grew in the cracks of the cliff, and then it swung hard in the air, and with this force it wrapped up another tree, and in this way it swung between the small trees that grew on the cliff and finally disappeared.
Xia Shiqing sighed and returned to the big toad, only to see the big toad lying on the ground weakly, angry like a gossamer. She hurriedly stuffed two pills into the big toad's mouth and helped it heal its luck, and after a while, the big toad finally woke up.
"I ...... Am I dead? It's so painful......"
"If you die, you won't feel pain, will you?"
"You've never died, how do you know quack...... Huh? Get...... Saved......"
"yes, yes, I haven't died, so I don't know, but if you want to die, I can't help you......"
"I don't want to die!"
The big toad made a rumbling sound in its abdomen, and then finally turned over and lay on the ground, muttering to itself as if it had palpitations: "It's good to be saved, otherwise it will really die!" The mission is not completed yet, and if you die, you will be in trouble......"
Xia Shiqing bent down and looked at it curiously, "Hey, can you still move?" Go back and be careful not to get targeted in the future. ”
The toad moved its limbs slightly, as if to check for other injuries, and then it hesitated for a moment and suddenly spat out a golden square-hole coin from its mouth and sent it to her.
Xia Shiqing hesitated slightly, but still reached out to catch it, this coin seems to be a little heavier than the pure gold mint, and there are four words printed on it: "Treasure of the Golden Toad".
"It's ......"
The big toad lowered his head at her as if he was bending down and buckling his head, "Thank you for saving me, this should be regarded as a thank you gift, if you encounter difficulties, take it out, the golden toad immortal will not stand idly by." ”
"Golden Toad Immortal?" Xia Shiqing obviously heard this name for the first time and didn't know who it was.
The big toad nodded and said, "You're going to 'Zhaoti Temple' too, aren't you?" Everybody will go, and it will be helpful to take it out when the time comes. ”
"Why should I go to 'Zhaotiji Temple'?"
"Don't you know? Quack, everybody's going to go. ”
"Does it have anything to do with the birth of the Buddha?"
In the face of Xia Shiqing's inquiry, the big toad showed a deaf look, it turned around and jumped a few times, and finally looked back and said: "Because there are still things to do, I have to leave, ah, by the way, my name is Toad Green, just like that, goodbye." ”
Xia Shiqing watched its figure gradually disappear, if it weren't for the heavy "Golden Toad Treasure" in her hand, she would have thought that she had a dream. At this time, the sky had begun to brighten, and the orange glow gradually spread in the forest, and then there was a loud "bang" in the forest, startling countless birds, and this loud noise seemed to shatter the sweet dream of the woods, and woke everything from its slumber.
Xia Shiqing looked in the direction where the voice came from, a bad premonition swelled faintly in her heart, she didn't know if Ling Ning, who was fighting the enemy alone, had escaped, she had fought with Duan Shaotian and she knew the terrifying strength of the other party, this loud noise was probably the movement made by the battle between the two.
Thinking of this, she put away her coins and jumped up the trunk of the tree, diving in the direction of the sound.
The loud noise just now was indeed made by Ling Ning, his situation was not optimistic at the moment, he was running in one direction with all his might, and the angry Duan Shaotian behind him was chasing after him with a pitch-black long knife, his whole body was like boiling boiling water, and the blood on his left foot was already showing his bones, and the blood was constantly evaporating by the heat to produce blood mist, but after a while, the blood coagulated and stopped bleeding.
This was already the biggest damage that Ling Ning could give to the other party, he could only limit the other party's elusive speed by injuring the opponent's foot, and he had a chance to escape, but he also paid the price, and was slashed in the chest by the other party, leaving a long blood mark from his left chest to his right ribs.
Although he has tried his best to avoid this knife, but the knife qi still left him a scar, the most important thing is that this scar can not heal, the wound is like boiling water, and the blood that continues to flow out turns into wisps of blood mist, even if he uses the "Divine Decision" to stop the bleeding, it is useless, he really can't figure it out in the face of the other party's strange exercises, but he is very clear that if he loses blood like this again, he is afraid that it will not be long before he faints due to excessive blood loss.
Although Ling Ning also wanted to defeat the enemy head-on, but his own good attributes seemed to have little effect in the face of the enemy's fiery steam, with the blessing of his pupil technique, it was clear that the pores of the opponent's whole body would erupt hot steam every short period of time, he originally wanted to freeze the opponent's whole body with the ice attribute "Shattered Star", but after trying, he found that the power of the "Shattered Star" was not enough to freeze the opponent, even if it was successfully frozen under the effect of "steam", it would be thawed immediately.
And his demon fire didn't work, but instead fueled the other party's "transpiration". The other party was stronger than him in terms of speed and true element, and without the blessing of the palace master, he could only barely escape, and he could not give a strong counterattack at all.
He thought that the other party's "transpiration" mode would not last long, but now it seems that the other party is still at ease, but he has fallen into the predicament of blood loss and fainting.
"Can't I retreat from the enemy without the palace master?" Although Ling Ning was unwilling in his heart, he had to admit the facts in front of him.
Just when he was at a loss, suddenly a sudden change occurred, and he saw two cyan wood dragons attacking Broken Shaotian one left and one right, one biting his injured left foot and the other biting his chest!
This change was so sudden that even the experienced Duan Shaotian didn't have time to dodge and was bitten!
Before Ling Ning could be surprised, he suddenly heard a voice say, "Brother Ling! Come on! ”
He turned his head to look, only to see Xia Shiqing waving at him anxiously, and he hurriedly flew over to run away with her side by side.
The two of them kept on their feet, and at the same time they talked with their minds.
"Shiqing, why are you here, aren't you leaving?"
"Xin'er is lost, Mei'er and ...... Her companion went after her first, but I didn't go far because I was too badly injured. ”
"I see, did you come over to take a look when you heard the movement here?"
"Well, I know that guy's strength is ...... Worried about whether you can get out of danger......"
"Phew, fortunately, you helped drag him down, to be honest, I can't cope with it alone......"
Before Ling Ning could say this, he suddenly heard an earth-shattering explosion behind him, and then a majestic heat wave suddenly emerged and scorched the backs of the two of them, and the two of them looked back in surprise at the same time, only to see that Duan Shaotian was like a wooden cork stuffed on the boiling spout, finally spewing out in a bang under the action of steam!
His whole body was crimson, and there was a string of white steam behind him, and the most surprising thing was that his speed became very amazing, several times faster than arrows and meteors, and he rushed straight towards the two of them! The pitch-black long knife had long been left behind, and Duan Shaotian raised his fist like a monkey in the sky, as if it was brewing a second explosion.
Ling Ning almost subconsciously flashed behind Xia Shiqing, and the next moment the majestic and blazing steam was getting closer and closer, and the pores of his whole body seemed to be smoky open by this steam, almost while feeling the heat, his waist was hit hard!
"Click!"
With a crisp sound, Ling Ning clearly realized that his waist had been cut in two, and a mouthful of blood sprayed uncontrollably on Xia Shiqing's neck, and the bodies of the two were knocked away by this strange force, like a cannonball that had been fired flew out of the woods uncontrollably, and then fell rapidly!
The place where they fell was not land, but a bottomless deep stream, as if the earth had cracked a gap, and it was like a demon opening its mouth and devouring them in one bite!
Although Ling Ning realized that he and Xia Shiqing were about to fall off the cliff, his body seemed to have been filled with this strange force, and he couldn't even move a finger, Xia Shiqing's situation was obviously the same, although she was not directly hit, but it was also indirectly hit, at this moment she felt a surge of qi and blood, and the true yuan in her body was stirred by this strange force and scattered around and couldn't gather at all, let alone use Dao techniques to save herself.
Hongxia finally rendered the entire coffin mountain, but Ling Ning and Xia Shiqing in the deep stream were still swallowed by the darkness.
Duan Shaotian stood on the edge of the cliff and stared at the deep stream where the two fell, it was pitch black, and the branches sticking out of the rock wall were like chaotic needles and threads, indiscriminately sewing and filling this bottomless opening, without a trace of light.
With a look of disdain on his face, he muttered to himself, "It's already commendable to be able to do this as a toy, thank me for my mercy if you didn't die at my hands......"
