Volume 1 Unraveling the Chain Chapter 3 Cicada Song
Xu Shan was pretending to sleep on the tree, and a piercing cicada chirp interrupted his rest, only to see that on another tree not far from this big tree, an elderly snail tentacle on his head knew that the ghost screamed, and what was even more strange was that between the cicada wings and stopping, the entire back of Zhizhi seemed to be a human face that was constantly switching between crying and laughing.
Xu Shan opened his eyes with a gloomy face, glanced at the one who knew it and stopped looking, and after looking at it for a while, there was a feeling of vomiting in his abdomen that he wanted to vomit out his intestines.
Stabilizing his mind, Xu Shan pinched the toothpick on his mouth between his fingers, and according to the exercises of the Eight Desolation Gong, a stream of true qi ran on his right arm, only to see that between the ravines and mountains formed by the bulge of the arm muscles, a green dragon mark slowly emerged, and became clearer and clearer with the continuous infusion of true qi.
Just when the green dragon was fully revealed, Xu Shan's wrist flicked, and the toothpick in his hand instantly broke through the air, with an inaudible sound of "ding", the cicada chirping stopped abruptly, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent for a while.
Only a few leaves were split in two, falling off the branches and falling in a swaying manner.
At this time, Xu Shan did not open his eyes in a hurry, but turned his ears sideways, and while guarding against his surroundings, he counted down from three in his heart.
"Three"
"Two"
As soon as the count reached two, the cicadas chirped again, screaming louder and louder, screaming more and more urgently, and the surroundings became more and more noisy.
Scolding secretly, Xu Shan didn't look at the zhi anymore, but quickly took out a dark green vial from the package he was carrying, unscrewed the lid and smelled a fishy smell rushing towards him, not meaning how bad it was, carefully knocked the mouth of the bottle against the branch a few times, poured out a dark object the size of a fingernail from the bottle, and then pulled out a bamboo tube from the package, and dropped a few drops of bright red liquid on the black object.
After doing this, Xu Shan held the dagger on his waist with his backhand and no longer made any movement.
After a while, I saw that the black object was rapidly expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the color also changed from the original black to yellow and green, and while constantly wriggling, the limbs slowly stretched out, and soon became the size of an adult's palm, which was actually an oversized bloodthirsty leech.
I saw that the tip of it slowly poked out like a chrysanthemum blooming, and a small circle of suckers full of sharp teeth slowly opened, sniffed around, and suddenly shot out in the direction where Xu Shan was.
Xu Shan had already prepared, and slapped the flying leech with a dagger, and slapped it back to its original position, and as soon as the leech landed, it pounced on Xu Shanfei again, as if playing table tennis balls a few times, the leeche became bigger and bigger, and soon the entire trunk was occupied.
Seeing that it was almost over, Xu Shan flipped the dagger in his hand, and immediately nailed the leech that had become the size of a basin to the trunk of the tree, and then quickly pulled out a thin silk thread from the cuff, and quickly wrapped it around the struggling leech a few times, completely wrapping it on the trunk.
After doing this, I could already hear the chirping of cicadas not far away, like a muffled thunder, which was getting louder and closer, and the noise was extremely loud.
Around the tree, some hares, snakes and rats also came out of their burrows and fled in all directions.
Looking at the struggling leeche, Xu Shan pointed to the palm of his hand, and let the blood sprinkle on the body of the leech that was tied up like a piece of bread. With the moisture of blood, the leech became more and more excited, tumbling, and even the whole trunk shook endlessly, and soon because of the silk thread, he cut himself all over the body, and the blood was drenched, and at the same time, from the wound, several suckers of different sizes appeared, one by one, and it was terrifying.
Applying an ointment that can immediately stop bleeding, Xu Shan hooked the dagger with silk thread, flicked his hand, and nailed the dagger to another big tree not far away, and then jumped and fell to one of the trunks, and at the same time wrapped his robe around himself, standing straight on the tree, and his own breath became vague until it slowly disappeared.
At the same time that Xu Shan was urging the Eight Desolation Gong, Senior Sister Zhang, who was meditating, suddenly opened her eyes and looked in the direction where Xu Shan was, frowning slightly.
"What's the matter, Senior Sister Zhang, is something happening?" Sensing Senior Sister Zhang's movements, Senior Brother Zhou and the others also woke up from their meditation and looked at Senior Sister Zhang and asked.
"A strong aura suddenly appeared over there just now, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye, and it may be my delusion, after all, my level of control of the line charm is not very high. Senior Sister Zhang hesitated for a moment, but still said honestly to Senior Brother Zhou.
Senior Brother Zhou touched his chin, pondered, thought for a while, and said: "After the repair just now, everyone should have restored their spiritual power to more than half of the level, in this way, let's stay away from here first, bypass the place that Senior Sister Zhang said just now, and return first according to the original path, if we encounter the plesiotail bear again halfway, with Senior Sister Zhang's early warning, we should be able to avoid it in time." Some of the things that we were prepared before entering the mountain, after a few days of consumption, can only last until tonight at most, and now we should return to the Zodiac Post Station as soon as possible before dark, I think it is the best policy, what do you think?"
Senior Brother Zhou looked around and asked.
"I agree with Senior Brother Zhou's statement, it's really not suitable to stay in this place for a long time now. ”
"I also agree"
"That's the best, I've wanted to leave this place for a long time. ”
After everyone finished discussing and was about to leave here, suddenly Senior Sister Zhang said: "Wait a minute, that place is very wrong just now, there are many things that are not strong in aura, but there are extremely large quantities, and they are flying towards the place just now from all directions."
When everyone heard this, they immediately held their swords in their hands and held their breath and became vigilant.
Senior Brother Zhou even threw out a copper-colored ring of size from his sleeve, and at the same time silently recited a spell in his heart, only to see the ring rise out of thin air, standing above everyone's heads, turning slowly, a circle of water-like ripples visible to the naked eye flew down, completely enveloping everyone, and asked at the same time: "How many times can Senior Sister Zhang's line talisman practice, the magical power of 'Seeing a Thousand Miles', be used?"
Senior Sister Zhang closed her eyes, her mind was all used to control the line talisman, and she replied: "You can still use it twice, but this distance is a bit far, and you can only hold on to three breaths at most, and you may not be able to see what is going on over there." ”
Hearing the answer, Senior Brother Zhou pondered for a moment, and then said decisively: "Well, I always have a feeling of uneasiness in my heart when I bother Senior Sister Zhang to use it once, and I don't see the situation over there." ”
Senior Sister Zhang nodded, "Senior Brother Zhou, please take a look."
I saw Senior Sister Zhang's hands pinched, and then the two palms were divided, and the three lines of the talisman danced rhythmically, and disappeared into the void in a flash.
Not far from the big tree where Xu Shan stood, three extremely thin lines quietly emerged, forming a looming triangle, just hanging in the air, like plankton floating in the sea.
Senior Brother Zhou, from the blurry picture that appeared between Senior Sister Zhang's palms, saw the gorgeous cicada wings flying in a circle and in groups.
Before I could look closely, the picture in my palm burst like foam.
"Senior Brother Zhou, do you see clearly?"
At this moment, Senior Sister Zhang's forehead was covered with sweat, and her face was a lot paler. Hurriedly took a pill of Qingquan Pill, and his face slowly recovered, but his expression still looked a little sluggish.
"Well, see clearly, it's a ghost-faced cicada, let's rest in place, Senior Sister Zhang's spiritual power is now exhausted, and her mental consumption is extremely high, and she can't support the line rune, let's wait for Senior Sister Zhang to recover, if there is no line rune, it will take a lot of effort for us to get out of the Lingyun Mountain Range." ”
"Senior Sister Zhang, I'm really sorry, the first time was because of me, you used the magical power of 'Viewing a Thousand Miles' and ran out of spiritual power, so you couldn't open the line talisman, and the plesiotail took advantage of it, causing us to fall into such a situation now. It's my responsibility to blame me for being so suspicious this time. ”
Senior Brother Zhou said with self-reproach.
"Senior Brother Zhou, if you can't help everyone, it's my own mistake. ”
"Senior Brother Zhou doesn't have to blame himself, since we are here to complete the task under the sect, we should share the same hatred, and the first few times Senior Brother Zhou led us to complete the task without danger, this time it will definitely be victorious. ”
"Yes, Senior Brother Zhou doesn't have to blame himself, saying that this time since I entered this Lingyun Mountain Range, I don't feel very comfortable, I always feel that someone is peeping at me. ”
"Poof, peeping at you, rich and fat, what do you have to peep at, you are a one-in-a-million cultivation genius, and you are still a beautiful woman. ”
"En, what Senior Sister Bai said is that someone should secretly covet Senior Sister Bai's beauty, but I found out that Senior Sister Bai secretly promised me, so she has been following me hostilely. Wang Shubao, how do you say that?"
"When a man sits at home, woe comes from heaven?"
"Yes, yes, that's it, who made me so good, it's a real headache. Hey, Senior Sister Bai, don't pinch me, the gentleman doesn't move. ”
"Ah, Senior Sister Bai likes Senior Brother Qian, brother, are you okay"
"Well, what can I do? ”
