Chapter 27: The Little Lake in Distress
As the morning sun in the east sprinkled the first rays of sunshine, at the east gate of the border desert city, a group of figures slowly entered the city, this group of people was full of evil energy, and even the guards at the city gate did not dare to stop it.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, the eldest brother will definitely be fine. Ao Mo looked at Xiao Yuezhu, who was full of sadness, and said comfortingly.
Xiao Yuezhu listened to Ao Mo's comfort, and the sadness on his face did not subside much, but after his eyes flashed, it was like changing his face, and he immediately changed to a smiling face, "I can't let Shuang'er see me like this, now that he has lost his grandfather, and his father has also escaped with serious injuries, if he sees my sad face again, it will be too big a blow to him." ”
This group of people is the Ao family who returned to the border desert city.
Ao Wushuang stood at the top of the tower, he had been staring at his mother since she entered the city, and he couldn't help but clench his fists when he saw the sad expression on his mother's face. How he wanted to run to his mother, but reason told him he couldn't.
Dong Guoming, who was standing behind him, looked at Ao Wushuang and became emotional, and he had the heart to step forward to comfort Ao Wushuang for a few words, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, so he could only gently pat the latter's shoulder twice.
Ao Wushuang looked back at Dong Guo Ming, then bent down and said, "Brother Dong Guo, the family will please, if my Ao family escapes this catastrophe, I, Ao Wushuang, will definitely repay the City Lord's Mansion." ”
Dong Guoming heard Ao Wushuang's solemn tone, he sighed and said, "Brother Ao, don't worry, I'll do my best." ”
Hearing that he had made his promise again, Ao Wushuang turned his head to stare at the east gate and took a deep look, and then hurried down the tower and headed towards the north gate.
Leaving Ao Wushuang in the border deserted city, strolling in the mountains and forests, listening to the birds and insects in the mountains and forests, he did not feel half relaxed in his heart, as long as he thought of the sadness on his mother's face, his heart was like a knife.
After walking aimlessly in the mountains for a while, Ao Wushuang sorted out his emotions and forced himself to calm down. He took out his map and made the direction, and the small mountain range he was in at this time was still nearly three hundred miles away from the so-called snake cave.
If he was on flat ground, with the strength of his feet, he could reach the three hundred miles in two days, but now that he was in the mountains, the time to travel would be at least doubled, and this was still under the condition that he did not encounter demon beasts. Otherwise, it will only take longer.
Ao Wushuang looked at another mountain range in the distance, he gave himself a goal, today he has to rush to the opposite mountain range to rest, he keeps running wild in the mountains and forests, while the vitality in his body is consuming, he also keeps absorbing the vitality of the outside world to make up for it.
When he was in a hurry, he took out the afterimage step and began to read it, with his current strength, he could already do it with two minds. When he was in a hurry, he only needed to use his perception to predict the situation around him, and he didn't need to see it with his eyes, he hurriedly looked at the cultivation method, and then shook his hand and threw the secret technique book into the backpack behind him.
The trees on the way have become his cultivation tools, and he keeps moving to avoid the trees according to the pace of the afterimage, but how can the cultivation cheats be so easy, several times he couldn't dodge, and he hit his head on the tree, causing his nose to be blue and his face swollen.
He stopped kneading the swollen place, and scolded in his heart: "Where is my cultivation secret technique, it's just nothing to find abuse." ”
After scolding a few words, he got up and continued to run wildly, more and more swollen places on his body, and the sound of him eating pain was heard from time to time in the mountains and forests.
At noon, after running all morning, Ao Wushuang came to a small lake, took out the dry food and ate it, took a few sips of the lake water, and then sat cross-legged beside the stream, ready to rest before continuing his journey.
He sat on the ground and just closed his eyes, and in the small lake, a water arrow burst towards him, Ao Wushuang sensed it in his heart, and immediately turned his body to dodge, he came to the water's edge and watched the lake.
But the lake in front of him was calm, he frowned, and he didn't dare to relax at all in his heart, danger is everywhere in this mountain, especially in the deeper places, where few people set foot all year round, so the demon beasts are rampant.
He stared at the lake for a while, and after seeing that the lake still didn't move, he slowly retreated step by step, until he was some distance from the lake, he turned around and left quickly.
Ao Wushuang had just run not far from the small lake, and immediately there was a cramping pain in his abdomen, and after he stopped, he saw that the palm of his hand that had stuck to the lake water had some signs of blackening, and he was shocked in his heart, the lake water was actually poisonous.
Since he didn't know what kind of poison he had, he poured out all the antidote pills in his backpack and swallowed them, and immediately sat cross-legged on the spot, and began to mobilize his vitality to continuously compress his abdomen, trying to force out the water he had drunk.
At the same time as he forced the poison, a huge whirlpool appeared in the lake behind him, and in the whirlpool, a thick tentacle suddenly poked out, and pulled Ao Wushuang, who was sitting cross-legged, back into the lake.
Ao Wushuang hurriedly separated a part of his vitality to cover his body, forcing the lake water close to him one after another, he didn't dare to let the poisonous lake water touch his body now, after feeling the tentacle on his body more and more twisting force, he was also very anxious in his heart.
But when he fell to the bottom of the lake, the tentacles shrank away from him, and in the dark water, he saw a pair of huge eyes staring at him, and he wanted to flee to the shore immediately, but the cramping pain in his abdomen made him dare not make the slightest movement.
His gaze was fixed on the approaching creature in the distance, and when he got closer, he finally saw that it was a huge octopus. He made a rough estimate that the octopus's body took up almost half of the bottom of the lake.
Looking at the size of this octopus, he was horrified in his heart, and at the same time, he had already decided that this octopus was at least a second-level demon beast, and he couldn't compete with it at all with his strength, so he had no choice but to lurk his consciousness into his mind and keep calling: "Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan, come out to help, it's a little later, the old guy, the three of us will have to hang up." ”
There was no response to his call, as if Jiang Wan didn't exist at all, Ao Wushuang couldn't help but feel desperate in his heart, could it be that he was really going to die in the belly of the fish today? He was unwilling, his family was in turmoil now, and he still had to save his grandfather.
The huge octopus that was slowly approaching in the distance didn't care what Ao Wushuang was thinking, he was just getting closer and closer little by little, as if he liked this feeling of despair. Ao Wushuang looked at the octopus that was getting closer and closer, and he spoke more incoherently.
"Jiang Wan, damn it, you come out quickly, if you don't come out, it's really over today." ”
"Jiang Wan, Hanxiang, Xiaoxiangxiang!!"
What he said made him numb, as if he had goosebumps all over his body.
"Shut up, you're disgusting. Jiang Wan, who was lurking in the depths of his sea of knowledge, couldn't stand his numbness, and couldn't help but shout.
Ao Wushuang thought to himself, nausea is better than life, he anxiously said to Jiang Wan who made a sound: "Quickly solve the guy outside." ”
Jiang Wan looked contemptuous at this time, directly ignored what he said, and said with a sneer: "I really don't know where the adults fancy you, originally I thought you were a good idiot, but I didn't expect that you only knew how to rely on external forces." I won't care about you, my lord said, there is trouble for you to solve by yourself. ”
Hearing that Jiang Wan didn't care, Ao Wushuang's heart immediately exploded, is this a trouble that he can solve.
He held back his anger and yelled at Jiang Wan: "You look at the big guy outside before talking about me, do you think I will call you if I can solve it?"
Jiang Wan, who was hiding in the depths of his mind, immediately rolled her eyes, since she appeared in front of Jia He, she had put away her perception and concentrated on cultivating beside the old man of Creation, so she didn't know what happened after Ao Wushuang left the border desert city.
After Jiang Wan emanated her perception, she said with some surprise: "Why did you run into the lake?" But this big guy is really unable to compete with your current strength, and I think the adults won't blame me for this shot." ”
Seeing the octopus getting closer and closer, Ao Wushuang was not in the mood to listen to her muttering, he anxiously urged Jiang Wan: "Don't hurry up and solve this big guy." ”
Jiang Wan glanced at Ao Wushuang again, and then stretched out a slender hand in his mind and flicked it slightly, and a golden light burst from the center of his eyebrows directly towards the approaching octopus.
The octopus that was about to arrive at Ao Wushuang's side, after Jiang Wan exuded a breath, it was a little hesitant, and the breath Jiang Wan gave him made it feel like facing his old enemy, even more dangerous than his old enemy.
Its hesitation turned into horror when it saw the golden light shooting out from the center of Ao Wushuang's eyebrows, and it didn't hesitate at all, it just turned around and wanted to run. However, the speed of the golden light was so fast, and as soon as the big octopus made a move, the golden light hit its huge head.
A heart-rending pain appeared in its brain, and the painful octopus kept rolling, completely muddying the water at the bottom of the lake, and some skeletons and broken bones were floating everywhere, Ao Wushuang looked at these broken bones, and his heart was even more cold sweat.
These broken bones are both human and demonic, but more of them are some dry and long strip-like demon beasts, which are particularly dry, as if they have been sucked dry of all their essence. Ao Wushuang frowned as he looked at the long demon beast, but the next moment he showed a surprised expression.
These long strips of demon beast corpses are actually snakes.
Although Ao Wushuang was surprised in his heart, his movements did not stop, and after constantly compressing his abdomen, he opened his mouth and spit out a water arrow as black as ink, after this water arrow merged into the water, it immediately began to spread, and then it became like a lake.
As he spit out the poisonous water, his complexion became a little ruddy, and the black qi on his palm dissipated a lot. He stood up and watched as the octopus in the distance was still rolling, stirring up the surrounding lake and making it dirty.
The tumbling octopus watched Ao Wushuang get up slowly, he rolled in front of Ao Wushuang in pain, and his eyes actually showed a look of begging for mercy.
Ao Wushuang looked at the octopus in front of him in surprise, "This... This... How did this octopus get so small?"
His words were addressed to Jiang Wan, and Jiang Wan appeared in the center of his eyebrows, a white figure, like a bright light at the bottom of the dirty lake. A circle of golden light swept out of her body, and after isolating the lake, she replied to Ao Wushuang: "It was just its Dharma Body just now, but now it has been broken by me, and what appears in front of you now is the real body." ”
Ao Wushuang was shocked when he heard his words, "The demon beast still has a law body?"
Hearing that he was puzzled, Jiang Wan said like an idiot: "First-level demon beasts are the same as humans, they all absorb vitality to cultivate, but when humans break through, they open up the qi mansion, and the demon beasts rely on the vitality to condense the law body, look at the law body of this octopus, at least it is also a demon beast in the late stage of the second level, which is equivalent to the late stage of the human qi mansion, but generally speaking, the demon beasts in the same level are stronger than humans." ”
Ao Wushuang sighed in his heart, he only understood human cultivation, and he was blank for demon beasts, but when he saw the octopus in front of him, he couldn't help but ask: "How did I see the look of begging for mercy in the eyes of this demon beast just now, could it be that the second-level demon beast already has spiritual intelligence?"
The octopus in front of him became the same size as an ordinary octopus, and it didn't wait for Jiang Wan to speak, and immediately nodded at Ao Wushuang. The lake, which had just become somewhat stable around it, became extremely dirty again under its nodding.
Jiang Wan looked at the dirty lake around him, and felt nauseous in his heart, he stretched out his jade hand and slapped the octopus, directly slapping the latter out of the lake, and then the golden light on his body flashed, and he followed out directly.
Seeing Jiang Wan's movements, Ao Wushuang also hurriedly swam from the bottom of the lake to the shore, although relying on the coverage of vitality could make him not afraid to stay at the bottom of the lake, but looking at the surrounding white bones, he still felt a slight chill on his body, and the speed of swimming to the shore was a little faster.
