Chapter 320: Red Gem
There were only a few long arrows, which happened to shoot into the gap between its scales, and they did not enter in an instant!
Although the monitor lizard's armor is thick, its flesh is very delicate, and the arrows used by the soldiers have all been soaked in the poison of the snake, so as long as an arrow is shot, the monitor lizard will be poisoned by the snake.
Although the monitor lizard was large, it could not withstand the poison of the snake cultivator who had swallowed an elephant and spit out bones for three years, so after being hit by the arrow, its speed gradually slowed down and finally stopped.
The soldiers immediately rushed forward and surrounded the monitor lizard, waiting for the veteran Hou Yi to arrive.
At this time, the monitor lizard had lost the ability to resist, but from its nasal cavity, it still snorted out bursts of fishy breath to show that it was still unwilling to give in! Two red eyes stared at the soldiers, as if they were ready to open their bloody mouths and devour these people.
After a while, the monitor lizard's breath also weakened, and although it still tried to keep its eyes open, it eventually lowered its heavy eyelids.
After about half an hour, Hou Yi arrived unkempt and panting with his sword.
In front of all the soldiers, Hou Yi straightened his armor, adjusted his breathing, glanced at all the soldiers, and then said in a loud voice: "All the soldiers have worked hard!" I've been waiting forβ"
Before the words fell, I saw that the monitor lizard's eyes suddenly widened, and then he stood up with four claws!
"Wow-" the soldiers shouted in surprise. Hou Yi's face sank!
I saw that the monitor lizard opened its bloody mouth wide, suddenly jumped up from the ground, and rushed towards Hou Yi from top to bottom!
When the soldiers saw this scene, they were dumbfounded!
The veteran Hou Yi sensed the danger, he roared, and raised the long sword with both hands, the blade of the sword was shining with cold light, and the tip of the sword was facing the soft jaw of the monitor lizard!
"Poof!" After listening to a dull voice, the huge body of the monitor lizard lay in front of the soldiers, and the blood-poor mouth slowly closed.
Immediately, streams of salty black blood gushed out from between the monitor lizard's teeth, and everyone hurriedly covered their mouths and noses, and some couldn't help but vomit!
The soldiers stared blankly at the monitor lizard in front of them, only to see that its red eyes were still wide open, and its four big claws were still trembling slightly.
After a few more moments, the claws did not move, but the eyes remained open.
The soldiers looked at each other, wondering if the monitor lizard was dead this time. A bold sword slowly stepped forward, and made a few strokes in front of the monitor lizard's eyes with the tip of the sword, and then turned back to the crowd: "Dead!" β
The crowd burst into cheers.
Suddenly, the monitor lizard's body seemed to move again!
The crowd immediately shut down! In an instant, the field was terrifyingly quiet!
"Old General!" Someone shouted in surprise!
I saw that the monitor lizard's mouth slowly opened, and the old general Hou Yi was covered in blood, and crawled out of it, still holding the long sword in his hand!
Only then did everyone know that the final blow that killed the monitor lizard was the masterpiece of the veteran Yi! The veteran Yi took advantage of the moment when the monitor lizard jumped up and slashed the throat of the monitor lizard with his long sword! But he was then crushed by the monitor lizard's body. He had to get into the lizard's mouth through the wound in its neck before he could push it open.
Everyone hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to help the old general to the side to rest. But the old general shook off the supporter, and he roared: "Where is the Demon Sword of the Son of Heaven!" β
Someone in the team responded: "The Son of Heaven Demon Slaying Sword is here!" Immediately, four people raised a long sword with a cold light and raised it in front of Hou Yi.
This sword was carried by four people, and it was still difficult, and the veteran Yi was able to lift it high with both hands, and everyone was impressed when they saw this.
I only heard the veteran roar and cut down the long sword raised high!
Suddenly, black blood splashed, not only the old general's whole body was stained with black blood, but even the soldiers in the front rows were all stained with ink!
And at this moment, a stream of black gas emerged from the huge wound of the monitor lizard, and it rushed straight into the sky, and the sky was dark in an instant!
Everyone looked to the sky, and everything in front of them became blurry as the black air enveloped the sunlight.
"Demonic! There is a demonic spirit! Someone whispered among the soldiers, and this whispering gradually turned into a loud noise, and soon the whole army began to be in disarray, and it was about to be scattered.
After all, the veteran is a veteran, so I only heard him shout: "Soldiers, don't panic!" This is the spirit of resentment of the monitor lizard! The monitor lizard has died from the Demon Sword of the Son of Heaven, and this demonic aura is rising, so there is nothing to be afraid of! Without the body, it will be swept away by the gale! Don't be afraid! β
After listening to the veteran's explanation, everyone felt that it made sense, so they stopped talking about it. So the veteran ordered the body of the monitor lizard to be set on fire, and its head was tied with ropes, ready to be dragged back to the imperial palace.
While the soldiers were laboriously dragging the monitor lizard's head forward, the veteran Hou Yi suddenly stopped them: "Slow! β
The soldier stopped, only to see the veteran Hou Yi carefully observe the eyes of the monitor lizard, and shouted, "Bring a sharp knife!" Then he used the sharp knife handed by the soldier to gouge out the red eyes of the monitor lizard. It turned out that his eyes had turned into rubies with a diameter of a few feet! And when everyone was surprised, they hurriedly gouged out the other eye, which was no longer full, but had lost water and withered!
The veteran sighed and exclaimed, "It's a pity!" β
The generals sent the big head of the monitor lizard back to the imperial palace, and Emperor Yao and all the ministers came to watch, and they all gave a thumbs up to the veteran Hou Yi.
In front of everyone, the veteran presented the giant ruby and explained that it was the eye of a monitor lizard, and everyone was amazed.
Emperor Yao enjoyed playing for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Is there only this one?" β
The veteran Hou Yi heard this, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the Emperor, there is only this one." - Just because ......"
Without waiting for the veteran to finish, Emperor Yao laughed: "This one alone is enough to be the treasure of the world!" Come on, present the prepared brocade and wine, and reward the veteran Yi! β
After receiving the reward and thanking the Son of Heaven, Hou Yi returned home, thinking that the matter was over. Unexpectedly, within a few days, a cloud of black gas lingered in the northern Youyan land, covering the sky and the sun, as if it had the intention of continuing to go south and covering the imperial capital.
Hou Yi only called "not good" in his heart, hurriedly put on his horse, and came to the imperial capital to see Emperor Yao, asking to go on another expedition and fight with that black gas.
Emperor Yao, on the grounds that the old general was too old to continue to saddle his horse for a long time, persuaded him to go home and recuperate in peace.
Hou Yi thought that Emperor Yao would agree to his request to eliminate harm for the people, but he didn't expect to get this result. He returned home sullenly, and after thinking about it, he was ready to go to the court again the next day to ask for help, but he got a message that night, saying that someone in the imperial palace came out and said that a ruby of the same size as that dedicated to Emperor Yao had been privately hidden by Hou Yi.
