Chapter 41 Fighting the Dragon
The battle was in full swing outside, and Hu Man'er was struggling to swim towards the pillar of light at this time.
At the bottom of the underwater stone pillar, a pair of cold eyes suddenly opened, accompanied by the violent shaking of the iron chain.
Hu Man'er climbed the stone pillar with difficulty, and as far as the eye could see, the ground was in a mess. The surface of the earth was littered with bones of all kinds, both human and animal.
Not only the bones, but also the deep ravines, which looked like claw marks left by some kind of creature, Hu Man'er couldn't help but shiver, maybe it was the coldness of the lake, or maybe it was shuddering.
"Ding Lingling. ”
The vibration of the chain aroused Hu Man'er's vigilance, and Hu Man'er looked cautiously under the water, but did not see anything unusual.
Hu Man'er stomped his feet, emboldened himself, and moved to the platform step by step.
The pillar of light was dazzling, and a lotus flower that looked extremely beautiful was floating in the pillar of light and slowly swirling. The petals of the lotus flower come in different colors, which are red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. Arrange them in order. As the name suggests, the flower is colorful rootless lotus.
Looking down, Hu Man'er couldn't help but gasp.
There was a figure sitting under the lotus flower.
Because it was facing away from Hu Man'er, Hu Man'er couldn't see the face of the figure clearly, only knowing that it lowered its head and didn't make any movement.
"Senpai?"
Hu Man'er whispered.
The figure did not move.
"Senpai?"
Still no reply.
Hu Man'er cautiously stepped into the aperture, reached out and gently patted the figure's shoulder.
The man staggered to the ground.
Hu Man'er took a step back and pulled up the fist.
After no movement for a long time, Hu Man'er realized that something was wrong, paced to his side, and stretched out his hand to turn it over.
A pair of dry bones appeared in Hu Man'er's eyes.
Hu Man'er let out a long breath.
"It turned out to be a dead man. ”
Hu Man'er looked this dry bone up and down, there was no trace of flesh and blood in his body, it should have been in this place for many years, and his empty eyes had crawled with cobwebs.
Hu Man'er reached out and cleared the annoying cobwebs for him.
"I don't know where you are holy, and you have fallen here. Anyway, it's fate, you wait here for a while, and when I take the color lotus, I'll see if I can carry you back and let you settle down. ”
After speaking, straighten the dry bones and sit down. And he got up, and went to take the rootless lotus.
I don't know if it was providence or someone in the dark to guide me, and the dry fingers coincidentally hooked Hu Man'er's trouser legs.
Hu Man'er raised his leg and brought the dry bones down. Hu Man'er bowed his head.
The dry fingers under his feet were hooked into his pants, and he still held a piece of jade pendant with a streamer in his hand.
Hu Man'er squatted down and gently broke his dry fingers. The jade pendant slowly fell.
Hu Man'er picked up the jade pendant, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, but did not find anything special.
Instead, under the butt of dry bones, a corner of an object was exposed.
Hu Man'er frowned, moved the dry bones away, and a booklet that looked some years old appeared under the dry bones' buttocks.
Hu Man'er took the booklet and blew the dust covering it.
"Sword Sutra?"
The cover of the booklet only has the word Sword Sutra, and nothing else.
Hu Man'er roughly flipped through it.,It looks like some obscure sentences.,Occasionally some illustrations are quite interesting.,Some villains.,Holding a sword.,This kind of thing Hu Man'er can still understand.。 Hu Man'er knew that this was a secret book about swordsmanship.
Hu Man'er smiled at the dry bones.
"Senior, don't you see that I am talented and want to take me as an apprentice? In this way, I will accept this sword scripture and this jade pendant, and I will carry you out, which will be regarded as a meeting gift from you for the first time. ”
Hu Man'er thought about it, but still felt that it was inappropriate, so he knelt on the ground and knocked his head three times.
"I kowtow to you, although I can't apprentice, but after all, I got your relics, and it can be regarded as a inheritance. ”
After kowtowing, Hu Man'er got up and untied his waist and tied the dry bones to his back.
After doing these things, Hu Man'er climbed onto the platform and reached out to take off Cailian.
The white lotus is cold and radiant in the hand.
Wrapped the colorful lotus hastily and tied it behind him with the dry bones, Hu Man'er jumped into the water again and swam back.
A huge figure swam past Hu Man'er, and Hu Man'er only cared about swimming back and didn't notice it.
Suddenly, Hu Man'er felt as if something under the water touched his feet. Hu Man'er felt bad at this time.
When Hu Man'er went into the water to explore before, he had seen it, because this belongs to groundwater, and the temperature is too low to be suitable for the growth of organisms, so he can't even see a fish under this water.
But now that something has touched me, what does it mean? It only means that things are different.
Hu Man'er took a deep breath, sank his body underwater, and dried around.
It doesn't matter if you look at this, Hu Man'er's jaw will fall off. The moment he opened his mouth, the lake water poured into Hu Man'er's mouth, almost choking Hu Man'er to death in the water.
A behemoth that looked like a snake but not a snake was swimming towards Hu Man'er, and its body was more than ten feet long.
Hu Man'er used all his strength to bring himself to the surface. Swim back with all your might.
It's just that his speed is far less than that of the monster, and he is soon caught up by the monster.
The monster opened its mouth and bit at Hu Man'er, who skillfully dodged with the buoyancy of the waves. Playing with the lake water below him more quickly.
With a thud, the monster's massive body leaped out of the water, and then slammed into the water again.
Only then did Hu Man'er see that this was not a water snake.
"It's a fucking dragon. ”
Dragon, has always been a legend on the continent to this day, according to legend, the snake repairs a hundred years to become a python, and then a hundred years to become a python, a hundred years to become a python, a hundred years to become a dragon, at this time the body of the dragon begins to change, will give birth to limbs, can swim in the water.
After the dragon transforms, it needs more powerful flesh and blood, and it will inevitably devour more prey. Therefore, in order to survive, they usually follow the river into the sea, and this process is also called walking Jiao, which can be said to be the most critical part of the seven stages of dragon evolution. At this time, the dragon cannot be disturbed, and will be tribulated. Nine times out of ten, this process will be destroyed.
But those who survive become real dragons, baby dragons.
After becoming a dragon, if you cultivate for another thousand years, the dragon will have horns and become a horned dragon, and then the dragon will be considered an adult.
Above the horned dragon is Ying Long, and according to legend, if you want to cultivate to become Ying Long, you must pass the 39 Heavenly Tribulation. That is, to accept the baptism of heaven, you can be promoted to the dragon, and the dragon at this time can call the wind and rain, and go to the sky and enter the earth. Ranked in the immortal class.
The avenue is three thousand, if Ying Long still wants to cultivate, he will eventually become a golden dragon, that is, the dragon king often said in the mouths of the people, who can be in charge of water transportation in the area and be worshiped by the people.
Of course, this is just a legend, and legends only exist in the mouths of the world.
But the thing in front of Hu Man'er is really a dragon, and looking at its appearance, it has four legs and horns on the top of its head. It's clearly a ceratosaurus, undoubtedly.
At this time, Hu Man'er had already been frightened by the three souls flying together, and the seven spirits were gone. How dare you stay here and fight with it. Swim to the shore desperately.
It's just that this dragon didn't plan to let Hu Man'er go. poked his head out again, opened his bloody mouth and bit Hu Man'er.
This time, Hu Man'er knew that he didn't have such a good life to dodge, the cat was in a hurry to catch people, and the dog was in a hurry to jump strong. When they are about to die, animals still know how to fight for their lives, let alone people.
Hu Man'er gritted his teeth, stubbornly stabilized his body, and quickly pulled out the mountain kui, ready to fight with this legendary dragon.
I saw Hu Man'er running the true qi in his body, stepping hard in the water under his feet, and when the dragon head was coming, the whole person rushed out of the water, raised the mountain kui in his hand high above his head, and with a roar, he slashed towards the huge dragon head.
The momentum of the mountain is not small, and there is a strong golden vastness, which illuminates the entire karst cave for a while.
There was a loud bang, like metal colliding together, and there was a burst of sparks.
The mountain slashed at the horns of the horned dragon.
The next moment, Hu Man'er's body was bounced out until he hit the cliff on the shore.
The force was so great that the entire cave was shaken.
Horned dragon, looking down in the direction of Hu Man'er, shook his head.
Obviously, although Hu Man'er's sword did not cause much damage to it, it also made it a little dizzy.
After a while, the huge dragon body of the horned dragon moved, slowly swam to the shore, and saw Liu Fusang lying on the ground trembling.
The horned dragon was stunned for a moment, then poked the dragon head over, and sniffed Liu Fusang first.
Then he didn't know where the anger came from, and he opened his mouth and bit Liu Fusang.
Liu Fusang attacked with cold poison at this time, how could he still have the strength to dodge, let alone fight back. can only close the beautiful eyes at the moment when the faucet is approaching.
