Chapter Seventy-Eight: Walking on Thin Ice II

The fish-headed monster was so bold as to rush into the position at night to kill and eat people?

Fan Chunyang's face was already extremely gloomy, and he turned his head and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go and count the number of people, who is missing?"

Niu Dingtian, who was standing behind him, trembled all over, hurriedly said "yes" and led people towards the Kongtong faction's position, but we all knew that this was obviously a redundant move. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Looking at the two rows of paw prints and the pool of blood on the edge of the cave that have been extending towards the Kongtong faction's position, you can guess that most of the disciples of the Kongtong faction were eaten by the fish-headed monster.

At this time, Tianyi looked at the Wudang Sect disciple who was patrolling and said, "Sanping, did you really only see three fish-headed monsters?"

The disciple named Sanping suddenly knelt on the ground, hugged his fists and said: "Back to the master, the disciple did see the three fish-headed monsters standing here with his own eyes, and when Senior Brother Qianshui went to report the news, the disciple never left half a step, and has been secretly observing in that grass. ”

He raised his hand and pointed to the deep grass where we had been crouching earlier. That deep grass is forty or fifty zhang away from Kongtong Pai, and the grass is chest-deep, even if people don't squat in it, it is difficult for people to find it. The grassland is wide in the west and narrow in the east, and grows to the edge of the waterhole, like a guardrail, isolating the positions on the side of the Kongtong faction. But so many of us have trampled the deep grass there twice, and now it is almost impossible to hide people.

At this time, Fan Chunyang said in a deep voice: "This row of footprints is facing the position of my Kongtong faction, and the place where you go is also passing through that deep grassland, don't you notice any movement at all?"

Being looked at by Fan Chunyang like this, Sanping said incoherently: "The younger generation has been paying attention, it's raining lightly, I ...... I ......" he said this, but he didn't say any more, and his face was already pale and bloodless.

My heart was beating a little hard, too. This Wudang sect disciple saw that there were three fish-headed monsters infesting here, but looking at the two rows of paw prints on the ground, there should be another fish-headed monster appearing. If this is the case, it means that this fish-headed monster sneaked into the Kongtong faction's position, killed someone, and sneaked back, passing by this Wudang sect disciple twice without him and the Kongtong sect's disciples noticing?

I couldn't help but shudder, it was a little thrilling. This disciple of the Wudang Sect is also fateful, hiding in the deep grass and not being discovered by the fish-headed monster, he can be so lucky, but he is afraid that the fish-headed monster will not find him.

However, being able to touch the Kongtong faction's position from here and walk back and forth for a hundred feet and it is difficult to notice, is this really what the monsters we faced before can do?

I didn't dare to think about it any further, but the fish-headed monsters brought us too many surprises, and I even vaguely felt that they were getting smarter and smarter.

However, after a while, Niu Dingtian rushed over with a few disciples of the Kongtong faction. The Kongtong faction's position was not very far from here, but he was running a little out of breath. As soon as we approached, Niu Dingtian's chest couldn't stop rising and falling, and Nuo Nuo said: "Master, a disciple of the Renzi generation is missing......

Hearing his words with their own ears, many people around them still gasped. Fan Chunyang was still wrapped in a medicine cloth, and he was beaten by Na Gutai, and his injuries have not healed so far, and he laughed angrily at this time: "What a group of beasts, it's really too deceitful." Niu Dingtian, immediately summon all the disciples of my Kongtong Sect to come!"

We were taken aback again, and Tianyi said, "Master Fan, what are you going to do?"

Fan Chunyang put his hand on his chest and sneered, and said, "Instead of being so passive, it is better to go into the hole and take the initiative to attack." Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, this seat also wants to let these monsters know how powerful my Kongtong faction is. ”

Among the 400 disciples who were burned to death, there were also disciples of the Kongtong faction, and now another disciple was secretly eaten by the fish-headed monster, Rao is a powerful person like Fan Chunyang can't stand it, right? But his sentence "take the initiative to attack in the hole" made me feel terrified for a while, this hole is very wide, and I don't know how deep it is, and I don't know how many fish-headed monsters there are inside, so it's really unwise to enter the cave like this.

As soon as his words fell, Guan Shuhui said loudly: "What Master Fan said is good, Guan Mou has this intention." The fish-headed monster is extremely vicious, and if it is not eradicated early, it is only afraid that there will be endless troubles, and the Emei faction is willing to go to the hardships and dangers with the Kongtong faction!"

His words were very impassioned, and the people who listened to them were so excited that many people were already angry in their hearts and responded one after another.

At this time, Yuan Ji, the head of the Hengyue faction, stepped forward and said: "The two heads, there are a lot of fish-headed monsters, and we haven't found out the weaknesses of those monsters yet, and there are no rotting corpses scattered in our hands, so it's not appropriate to attack rashly like this, so it's better to think in the long run." ”

Indeed, now that we know that the Merhead will burrow in the ground, there is no peace of mind in the position, and waiting for the Merman's attack at dawn is tantamount to self-deception. If there is only this one hole, we don't have to worry, just guard the entrance of the hole, I'm afraid that those fish-headed monsters will dig more holes under this land like the worms in Chenzhou, and then the underground will be hollowed out, and we will really be in danger. But thinking about it this way, what Motoyoshi said was more practical. So far, we've only known that the Fishhead Monsters lie in the night, attacking us only during the day, and we don't know much about them, except that the Rotting Corpse Scatter allows them to retreat by three points.

Taking a step back, if you attack them, where do you attack them? Do you really jump into this hole and fight those fish-headed monsters to the death?

Fan Chunyang said loudly: "It's just a barbarian monster, why worry so much? The thieves of the Immortal Hall can disperse with rotting corpses, and we can also attack them with fire, and burn their caves before dawn." I still don't believe in what big waves these ugly monsters can make. ”

In order to explore the hole dug by the fish-headed monster, we came here with two or three thousand men and horses, and the heads of various factions are here. Fan Chunyang said so loudly, on the one hand, to show his determination, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he was only boosting morale. It seems that Fan Chunyang is determined to enter the cave and attack the fish-headed monster.

Yuan Ji said again: "How should Master Fan attack him with fire? In case the thieves of the Immortal Hall attack, how can we deal with it?"

Before Fan Chunyang could say anything, Guan Shuhui had already shouted: "Master Yuan, I am in charge of the important task of the rivers and lakes, why should I be so indecisive? This time it is the disciples of the Kongtong Sect who die, and next time it is difficult to guarantee that it is not you and my sect's disciples, and if we go down like this, I am afraid that before the great plan to eradicate the Immortal Hall, we will not be able to fight anymore!"

The three of them were arguing here, completely ignoring the relationship between Master Benkong and Tianyi, and there was also some commotion and discussion around them, some agreed with Guan Shuhui and Fan Chunyang, and some supported Yuan Ji.

At this time, I heard Master Benkong say loudly: "What kind of system is it to be so noisy!"

As soon as he said this, the field quieted down, Guan Shuhui and Fan Chunyang restrained their words a lot, and Yuan Ji and the others were silent and stopped talking, turning their heads to look at Master Benkong one by one.

Master Benkong swept his eyes around, and said: "At the moment of crisis, we should discuss countermeasures to show our spirit, just this strange thing will make you mess up, how can you take on a heavy responsibility in the future?"

This remark was a rebuke. I couldn't help but sigh secretly, the seven major sects gathered this time, although the master of the heavenly sky and the heavenly sect were the first to look forward, but after all, they were not one faction, if something urgent happened, I was afraid that it would be the same as scattered sand. At this point, the Immortal Hall is much better than the Seven Great Sects, at least the four major altars of the Immortal Hall are originally from one family, and the Fang Scripture will be more effective when ordered.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at the Heavenly Master and Tianyi Chang in front of me, only to feel that their backs were suddenly much taller.

Counting the thousands of disciples brought by Master Benkong, the seven major sects rushed to the Death Swamp this time and each brought more than a thousand disciples, and the people from the major forces in the rivers and lakes and many small and medium-sized sects together were only half of the number of the seven major sects, with a total of more than 10,000 people. Two battles with the fish-headed monsters, although we still have 9,000 men left, but it is still not a small number. However, if it weren't for the fact that Master Benkong and Tianyi were highly respected, I really don't know what the Seven Great Sects would be like now.

Tianyi said long: "Benkong, do you have a good plan?"

Master Benkong paused and said, "What Master Fan said is true, but it can't help but be too abrupt. The fish-headed monster is entrenched in the valley, secretly diving into the pool, and there are unforeseen accidents in the void, but we can't let it do this again, although there is no rotting corpse to disperse, but it is also a strategy to try to frustrate its sharpness with a fire attack. Ben Ming, you quickly send your disciples to fetch pine oil firewood. ”

The master of the sky is also cautious in doing this, and under the condition of not figuring out the weakness of the fish-headed monster, he can always find out a result by making a probe, which is much better than rashly attacking.

Master Ben Ming answered, leading dozens of Shaolin Temple disciples towards the camp, and the rest of the sect disciples also went to help carry firewood and get oil. On rainy days, it's wet everywhere, but with pine oil, even wet firewood can be burned. There is a lot of pine oil delivered from Tuva, and we don't have to worry about running out of it.

The firewood here is strong and thick, and there are scattered branches everywhere, which is easy to find. After a while, Master Ben Ming's group of people ran back with firewood and pine oil, and we were not idle, took the hemp rope, and began to tie the firewood together.

That's also because the hole is so wide, and the firewood dipped in pine oil will have no effect, and the firewood is tied up almost the same size as the hole, even if there is a fish-headed monster in the hole, it is only the right to escape.

After a long time of busy work, it is nearly three watches, and there are only two watches left before dawn. I wiped the rain from my forehead, and looked up, and there were no more than fifty bundles of them piled up at the edge of the cave.

When we bundled seven or eight more bundles of firewood, and there were as many as sixty bundles of firewood at the entrance of the cave, Master Benkong looked at the sky and suddenly said, "Sprinkle pine oil and light the fire!"

More than a dozen Shaolin Temple disciples came over with buckets of pine oil when they heard the sound. The brigade of men and horses ran day and night, and the pine oil was indispensable at night, and there was a lot of pine oil transported from Tuva, so we didn't have to worry about the insufficiency. More than a dozen Shaolin Temple disciples stood at the edge of the cave, uncovering the oilcloth on the wooden barrel, Master Benming and Xuanmu Daoist each holding a wooden scoop, and one holding a torch in his hand. Master Benming scooped out a spoonful of pine oil, and splashed it on a large bundle of firewood near the entrance of the cave with his backhand, and the torch in the hand of the Xuanmu Daoist was only a little on the firewood, but he saw that the bundle of firewood suddenly ignited a flame with a "ho" sound, and the Xuanmu Daoist was quick in his eyes, and he did not wait for the flames to make a big move, and kicked on the firewood, although the bundle of firewood was very high, but it could not withstand the strength of the Xuanmu Daoist's foot. It only rolled a few times, and it was falling into the dark hole.

We leaned down to see that the flame was not very big when the bundle of firewood was at the edge of the cave at the beginning, and as soon as it fell into the hole, the pine oil was gravity under the flow of the firewood branches and branches, and only entered the hole for a while, and the flames were immediately loud, like a huge fireball, falling straight down. The walls of the cave were lit by firelight, and they were damp, except for the smooth arch of loaches, and there were streams of yellow slime and patches of blood.

It was the slime in the fish-headed monster's mouth and the dead Kongtong Sect disciples, right? I was waiting to take a closer look, when I saw that this fireball fell into the hole for only a dozen feet, and suddenly turned around to the north and rolled over. In just a few moments, the firelight vanished, and I didn't know where the fireball had rolled.

Just looking at the bend, this cave is almost the same as the worm's cave, and some are only much larger than the worm hole. I nodded to myself, and it seemed that the hole dug by the fish-headed monster must have been zigzag.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement in the cave, and Tianyi shouted: "Keep putting!"

Master Benming and Daoist Xuanmu didn't say much, and with the cooperation of the two, they began to light bundles of firewood and kick them into the hole. When fifteen bundles of firewood were thrown in a row, there was still no movement in the hole, and the huge fireballs all fell to the bend at the bottom of the cave without exception, and disappeared without a trace, and there was no bright light.

None of us are surprised. The fireball fireworks are very strong, even if it turns and rolls down to other places, fifteen bundles of firewood of this size roll in, there will always be a little movement, but now let alone movement, even the slightest light of the fire does not come out. Could it be that the fish head in this cave has fled back to the Shenlong Cave because there are many of us?

When the thirtieth bundle of firewood was thrown into the cave, suddenly, several very soft screams came from the cave. We were all shocked, and the sound seemed to come from a long distance, and it was a little erratic, and it echoed in the cave, but it was not difficult to hear that it was from the fish-headed monsters.

Master Benkong said coldly: "Sure enough, it's still in the cave, throw all the remaining firewood into it!"

As soon as the words fell, many people moved, helping Master Benming and Daoist Xuanmu to throw firewood into the cave together, and the remaining thirty bundles of firewood at the entrance of the cave were thrown into the cave one after another and connected into beads of fire. When all the sixty bundles of firewood were thrown into the hole, a choking smoke billowed out of the hole, and a chaotic scream was heard.

The cry was still from the fish-headed monster in the cave, but when I heard it again, it was as chaotic as hundreds of thousands of fish-headed monsters screaming in unison, and it hurt in my ears.
