Chapter 15: The sudden appearance of the mountain god seal
Xu Danian's voice trembled and asked, "Immortal Chief, is it possible for my daughter to still be alive?" ”
Xie Congnan laughed at him, "If you come to tell Yun Mengze when the mountain god first asks for a living sacrifice, maybe your daughter will still be alive, and now I can only say that there is more than one luck." ”
In the final analysis, it is because of their selfishness, who cares when the catastrophe does not befall them? They enjoyed the benefits of the shadow lizard in peace, while watching indifferently as the other children disappeared one by one.
Xu Danian lowered his head, his fingers stirred, and a wave of remorse welled up in his heart, what Xie Congnan said was that he should have reported this matter earlier.
Qi Xiao, who went to the forest twenty miles away from Caiyun Village, always felt that something was wrong here.
There was a faint fishy smell in the forest, like the smell of a shadow lizard, but it was impossible to determine where it was.
However, this also shows that the thing that is against Zhou Hanzhang is undoubtedly a shadow lizard.
The further he walked in, the darker his vision became, Qi Xiao drew his saber and continued to move forward, the body of the sword glowed with coldness, and it trembled lightly in his hand.
There was a slight noise in the woods, and Qi Xiao held his breath and stood behind a tree.
Something flew overhead, Qi Xiao lowered his head and saw the shadow projected.
He hurriedly left the trunk of the tree, and with a bang, the grass and trees flew away, and a half-human-tall shadow lizard crawled on the ground, baring its fangs, and the tentacles on the top of its head trembled slightly.
This is a female shadow lizard because it has antennae on the top of its head, and the one without antennae is a male shadow lizard.
Qi Xiao tapped his toes on the ground, and ice-blue droplets appeared under his feet, supporting him quickly in front of the shadow lizard.
The sword turned into an afterimage and all of them fell, leaving a few water marks.
The shadow lizard climbed up the tree on all fours, letting out a sharp roar from its throat.
The roar forced Qi Xiao's mind to shake, but he soon sobered up.
The shadow lizard spat out a mouthful of fishy saliva, Qi Xiao hurriedly dodged, and the saliva fell to the grass, making a sizzling sound, and the surrounding circle immediately turned yellow.
Qi Xiao frowned, the fishy smell was even worse, the original body of the shadow lizard was already disgusting, and this attack method also made people's scalp numb.
But she didn't seem to have any fighting intentions, just to force Qi Xiao back.
Qi Xiao rushed forward with his sword in his hand, and the shadow lizard spat out several mouthfuls of saliva in a row, and its limbs stretched out and attacked Qi Xiao.
Qi Xiao slashed a few times in a row, and the shadow lizard's forelimbs fell to the ground, and she turned her head and ran backwards.
The sight inside was very dark, Qi Xiao couldn't see it anymore, he just wanted to catch up, and remembered Xie Congnan's instructions, so he retreated and turned back to Caiyun Village.
Back at their residence, Xie Congnan and they had already returned, and Qi Xiao told them about his findings.
"Mother shadow lizard? The last time I called, it was a male. Zhou Hanzhang's eyes widened, "In this Caiyun Village, there is more than one shadow lizard?" ”
"So far, it seems to be so, but why is that female shadow lizard not in Cangwu Mountain, but twenty miles away from Caiyun Village?" Xie Congnan was a little puzzled.
Xue Jiaojiao's eyes turned, and she suddenly said: "The shadow lizard can't leave the mother nest when it is young, could it be that the female shadow lizard is protecting her child?" ”
This is still the female shadow lizard she had met in her previous life, and she heard the senior brother who was traveling with her say it once.
However, it is extremely difficult for shadow lizards to reproduce, so juvenile shadow lizards are still rare.
Xie Congnan's eyes lit up, "Maybe it's really because of this, in this case, we have to go in two ways, Senior Sister Xue, you know it's really a lot." ”
Even Qi Xiao and Zhou Hanzhang next to her glanced at her approvingly.
Xue Jiaojiao smiled lightly and said, "I just remember what I saw in the book." ”
The original slightly dignified atmosphere was soothed by the bright willows and flowers, and Soho and Qi Yucheng also breathed a sigh of relief.
Once you know the problem, then the solution will be easy to find.
Seeing that she could help, Xue Jiaojiao was also very happy, and there was a crisp and numb itch on the back of her neck, she reached out and touched it, and there was a slight protrusion.
"What's wrong?" Xie Congnan noticed her movements, stood up, and saw the red peach blossom mark on the back of Xue Jiaojiao's neck, blooming extremely bewitching.
"Mountain God Seal." Xie Congnan reached out and touched it, "Why did it suddenly appear?" ”
Qi Xiao said that he was offended, and he also went over to take a look, the peach blossom was very obvious, and even if he used aura, he couldn't eliminate it.
Xie Congnan smiled angrily and said coldly: "This shadow lizard is really bold, it dares to provoke us directly." ”
Zhou Hanzhang guessed: "Senior sister, the girl who will be arrested tomorrow won't be Senior Sister Xue, right?" ”
"He came to this trick today, maybe this is the thought, and he will take turns guarding it tonight until the hour." Qi Xiao said lightly and walked over from Xue Jiaojiao's side.
"What about those people in Caiyun Village?" Zhou Hanzhang asked.
"I'll go with Qi Yucheng." Soho took the initiative to speak, "The two of us have the ability to protect ourselves, if we can't beat it, we can still run, just guard over there, nothing will happen." ”
Qi Yucheng also nodded in agreement.
Xie Congnan snorted, "Bring the signal flare, release it in case of danger, and I will rush over soon." ”
"Thank you, senior sister."
Xue Jiaojiao touched her neck, and she also had some doubts in her heart, if she said she was afraid, it wouldn't be enough, but she didn't understand why she was chosen.
The sky soon darkened, and Xie Congnan accompanied Xue Jiaojiao first.
"You can sleep for a while." Xie Congnan said to her.
Xue Jiaojiao didn't refuse, closed her eyes and rested for a while.
In the second half of the night, it was replaced by Qi Xiao, Xue Jiaojiao had been asleep for a while, and was lying on her side at the moment.
Time passed quickly, the sky slowly brightened, Qi Xiao rubbed the hilt of the sword in his hand, and the sword was not sheathed this night.
The protection of the senior brothers and sisters made Xue Jiaojiao very moved.
When the hour was approaching, Qi Xiao reminded her loudly.
"It's better to stay awake."
Xue Jiaojiao sat up, opened her eyes and looked around, time passed little by little, and it was already time at this moment.
Soho and Qi Yucheng, who went out, have not yet returned.
Xue Jiaojiao felt a rotten stench permeating her side, and as soon as she wanted to speak, she saw the bed under her turn into a puddle of mud, and the whole person sank.
Qi Xiao quickly grabbed Xue Jiaojiao's wrist, but was also pulled down by the huge suction, and all this happened in only one second.
He only had time to shout: "Xie Congnan!" ”
Xie Congnan opened his eyes from next door and slammed the door open, except for Xue Jiaojiao and Qi Xiao, everything in the room was the same as it was, and only a faint rancid smell was left in the air.
Zhou Hanzhang squatted on the roof and hurriedly jumped down.
"Senior sister, where are they?"
Xie Congnan grabbed the saber and said, "Let's go, bring Su He and Qi Yucheng, let's go to Cangwu Mountain!" ”
