Chapter 116: The Empire Two people in danger again
If it is a labyrinth, there will be a dead end, and if it is a maze, there will always be an exit.
Peng Xiu and Sun Shadow tread the water, not caring about the uncomfortable feeling of wetness on their feet, and the occasional inexplicable slippery touch, perhaps the presence of some underwater creatures. They were more concerned about the blurred road under their feet and the seemingly irregular wall ahead.
And even if there is no road ahead, but the water flow is channeled, not only does the water flow not have the purpose of direction, but constantly roars in all directions, in this dark underground, the sound seems to be equipped with a megaphone, so noisy that people can't think.
And after encountering a dead end for the third time, both of them felt a little tired.
"Left and right?" suggested Sunshadow.
Peng Xiu shook his head, "No." The Trapped Beast Fight is easier to fight back again, not to mention the fact that this is also a lair for it, and it is extremely familiar with the terrain and advantages. And ......"
"And even if we go our separate ways, we won't necessarily find the right path. "The Sun Shadow Interface told the truth.
Peng Xiu nodded helplessly, he never thought that in the imperial capital, he would also get lost.
At this time, Peng Xiu also sacrificed the Hidden Blade of the Sun Shadow, but there were no enemies around the two.
Peng Xiu looked at it suspiciously, only to see that Sun Ying was about to use his hand to hold the sharp blade. He grabbed it with quick eyes.
"Stop. Peng Xiu scolded with a little annoyance. "It has nothing to do with us finding our way by bringing it here. And, whatever the reason, you shouldn't hurt yourself. ”
This kind of small injury is not an injury to him at all, such words cannot be said under the gaze of those starry eyes. Sunshadow wants to explain something, but doesn't know what to say. He has always been very casual with himself.
There was a stalemate in the atmosphere at this point.
"I'm sorry. Sunshadow apologized in a low voice.
Peng Xiu heard Riying's apology, and a wry smile hung on the corner of his mouth. This guy doesn't really understand what he means. To protect yourself, what do you need to apologize to the other party? It's just that this person, who obviously looks cold at everyone, is willing to pay more than anyone else. As long as you give a little sincerity, he will return you very sincerely, but he still takes it for granted. In this way, how much he can value himself, he doesn't even realize his importance. Just like this, he didn't understand, but he knew the other party's anger, so he would apologize, and a person with an indifferent appearance like him shouldn't be unruly and ignore it at this time.
Peng Xiu looked at the innocent appearance of the Sun Shadow, and wanted to say something more, but saw a small piece of rubble suddenly loosen and fall down behind him.
The small piece of rubble fell into the water, and instead of sinking, it was carried away by the current.
"The place where the water flows may be the end of the water prison. Peng Xiu said when he saw the falling rock.
The two walked all the way, not without paying attention to the level of the water flow, but the speed of the water here is very gentle, and the water flow is also a stone pillar, blocking the convection, the diversification of the water ripple changes, and it is even more difficult to distinguish when you step on it. In addition, even if the labyrinth encounters a dead end, it will leave space for the water to walk through, causing the water to flow in the same direction in the route they are walking, so that they did not look at it for reference at the time.
If it is a labyrinth, there will be a dead end, and if it is a maze, there will always be an exit. It is the flow of water that will eventually have its end.
Sunshadow and Peng Xiu looked at it again, and if there was no way to find direction with the naked eye, they would use tools. The two of them moved forward again, and after a few attempts and returns, there was finally a feeling that they had found a pattern.
This time, there were not too many detours, and I finally found the exit smoothly. The design of the meandering waterway eventually merges into a direct current. But what makes up the shore is not dirt, but a long row of water dungeons.
These water prisons are directly excavated in the soil, and after the water flows in, it goes from shallow to deep, and the feet are bare to the waist, from the waist to the chest, and the higher and higher the water prison, the more painful it becomes.
Just as the two stepped out to observe, a roar appeared in their ears again, this time accompanied by several shouts of fear. The monster was standing on top of a stone not far from the other side, screaming at them with a bloody jaw, and a man in its front paws.
"Help. One of the paws also saw the two of them in the struggle, and hurriedly shouted at the two of them. "Help me. ”
Peng Xiu and Sun Shadow immediately sacrificed their weapons and prepared to fight. But who knew that this monster did not usher immediately, but first raised its claws, directly stepped on the man under his feet, blood splashed instantly, and the monster stood up with its claws, threw the corpse into the air, opened its mouth, and prepared to chew and swallow it directly.
"Evil animals. The Sunshadow Blade was out of his hand, turning into a throwing knife and stabbing straight at the target.
The monster reacted extremely quickly, as if it had already guessed that the Sun Shadow and the others would make a move, and waited directly on its hind legs, biting the upper body of the corpse, and jumping into the water, leaping and swallowing it alive.
The Hidden Blade flew into the air, striking the stone in response, and also flew into the water, submerging in the water.
Peng Xiu and Sun Shadow chased after him, but at this point the current became the biggest obstacle to the action. There were no stone piers in the water, there were no equipment floating on them, the depth of the procession was temporarily insufficient, and even worse, the water was so turbid that it was really difficult to sink. It can only walk halfway into the water, and its speed is severely disturbed.
To make matters worse, Hikage felt a deep chill. This water was originally underground water, and it was a little colder than ordinary flowing water, and when their feet just stepped in, both Sunshadow and Peng Xiu felt the coldness, but they were only barefoot, and they kept walking, and the coolness did not reach the body. But at this time, half of the body was like water, and the deep coolness instantly invaded the inside of the body. Peng Xiuzi still didn't feel anything, his burly and sturdy body didn't have a problem with this level of coolness, even if he felt it, he wouldn't be bothered in the slightest. However, at this time, the sun shadow had just recovered from a serious illness, and his body had not fully recovered his vitality, and he had already gone through several walks and probes, and some physical strength was worn out, and his resistance was weakened. The chill was like a thin needle, tightly piercing every inch of his watery skin, from bottom to top, from feet to waist, and his already bloodless lips were now white. The speed of the pedal slowed down. But he still kept going, and he needed to find his Hidden Blade first.
Peng Xiu immediately noticed that something was wrong with the Sun Shadow, and immediately turned around and approached the Sun Shadow. He saw Sunshadow's white lips, and he touched Sunshadow's arm, which was still trembling slightly, cold as water, and could no longer feel the slightest temperature of his skin.
"Xiaoying, no, you go back to the stone pier first. At this time, the situation of the two of them could not return to the ground immediately, and the devouring beast was still nearby, waiting for the opportunity to attack at any time, and the situation standing in the water was already unfavorable, and it was even more difficult if the physical condition appeared. Peng Xiu could only command Sun Ying to go to the stone pier first, at least standing above the water, and retaining some body heat. He will face the situation in the water alone.
Sunshadow reflexively wanted to refuse, but the hand that pinched out his arm had a force that could not be refused. He nodded helplessly, he actually knew that he might be a drag here now. He could only nod his head and start going backwards.
Peng Xiu first went to find Sunshadow's Hidden Blade. He knew what Sunshadow meant, and he couldn't save the man, and he couldn't let the beast devour his corpse like that. It's just that today's Sun Shadow is lacking in both physical strength and energy, so that the flying sword failed to hit the target, and it failed to insert it into the stone. It was also at that time that he was shocked by the abnormality of the Sun Shadow. When he turned back again, the white lips and trembling body made him feel frightened and blamed himself again. But this is not the time to think about this, and we can only try to solve the immediate problems quickly.
The monster sneaked into the water, no splash, not even a trace. Peng Xiu glanced around, and could only go to the place where the Hidden Blade fell into the water and dive into the water.
Sun Ying stood at the stone pier, looking at Peng Xiu who was not far away and jumped into the water, he was also a little impatient in his heart, wanting to step forward, but remembering Peng Xiu's eyes. Take a deep breath, calm the anxiety in your heart, and stare intently. At this time, I had to take care of the various cries for help in the distance. It was in the water prison, and after seeing that Peng Xiu and Sun Shadow were not afraid of monsters, and the monsters seemed to have left, they mustered up the courage to shout for help.
After Peng Xiu entered the water, he found that the water was not as turbid as it seemed on the surface, but a little clearer, and he could barely open his eyes to see. He saw Sunshadow's Hidden Blade plunged into the mud at the bottom of the stream, and several strange-looking fish swimming around it.
Peng Xiu also heard the call for help at this time, but he didn't care much, and only swam towards the Hidden Blade. Just as one of his hands, already on top of the Hidden Blade, was about to draw it, something strange happened.
The strange thing is that the fish that swam around it were not scared away, but began to attack Peng Xiu's hand, those strange-looking fish have fine teeth, small but sharp, and the cutting action is fast and powerful, Peng Xiu was not prepared, and in an instant several fish bit Peng Xiu's hand at the same time, and blood gushed out immediately. Peng Xiu forcefully pulled out his Hidden Blade, stood up, raised his hand into the air, shook off a few strange fish that were brought up together, and used his backhand to cut the Hidden Blade in half and fall back into the water.
Peng Xiu shook the Hidden Blade in his hand, shook off the blood stains on it, and turned to look at Sun Ying with a little joy. But he saw something even more striking. "Little Shadow!" he immediately shouted.
At this time, Sun Shadow was actually jumping out of the water with joy Peng Xiu, wielding his Hidden Blade in his hand. He didn't know that danger was imminent, and he didn't turn back until Peng Xiu shouted.
The monster didn't know when, what passage it passed, went around to the maze of waterways, and walked behind the Sun Shadow, he took advantage of the roar of the water, and the Sun Shadow focused on looking at Peng Xiu's gap, quietly and slowly approaching, already raising its claws high, just as it was about to shoot down with a blow, Peng Xiu's voice sounded.
Sunshadow jerked forward and fell into the stream, and the claw fell in front of him. It seems that it did not hit his vital point in time, and it was necessary to concentrate his legs. Nikkage was even ready to suffer from pain.
But the claw didn't seem to fall as far as expected, but fell in pain on the spot, without hurting half of Sunshadow's body in the slightest.
But it wasn't Peng Xiu who attacked.
When the two of them were puzzled, the monster roared in pain, and wanted to turn around and fight back behind him, but the body seemed to be clamped by something, unable to move, and finally was softly suppressed to the ground, which was a thicker silver-white giant wolf claw.
"Fenrir!"
