158 Colorful Coral
The power of the high-level demon beast, even if it was not deliberately aimed at her, Luo Qingli still felt a little oppressed.
The seven-star conch was stuck between the teeth of the silver horn dragon, and the sound left by the ember in the conch earlier was transmitted to the ears of the silver horn dragon, and the old dragon was silent for a long time when he heard the words, and his gaze at Luo Qingli gradually became unkind.
The wind and rain are getting more and more urgent, the waves are rolling, in front of this behemoth, Luo Qingli is as small as dust, life and death are between its thoughts.
In the face of such a high-level sea beast, others have already weakened their legs and feet, and for Luo Qingli, it is impossible to say that there is no turmoil in her heart, but since Ember can let her come to Chenglong, it shows that this big thing will definitely not be unfavorable to her.
The silver-horned dragon in front of him can definitely be called the overlord of the sea, even if their race is gentle by nature, it does not mean that they are willing to be the contract spirit beasts of their own race, and the more high-level demon beasts they are, the more they will be ashamed of it, and it is not incomprehensible that the silver-horned dragon will be displeased.
After a long while, the silver horn dragon made a move, and the seven-star conch fell from between its teeth to the beach, and the old voice of the dragon sounded again: "Take the conch and come to my back." ”
It had already turned its back in the sea, Luo Qingli no longer hesitated, picked up the conch, and with a light tap of his toes, he had jumped on its back in a few clicks.
On the dragon's back is a heavy, hard shell, pitted, crawling with moss and seaweed, slippery, and even a starfish or two conch attached to it, as if it were a huge rock in the sea.
The silver horn rode the dragon and said in a deep voice: "Sit tight." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, it plunged headlong into the sea and hurried forward.
Luo Qingli tightly grasped a protrusion on Chenglong's back shell, and the water swept by her side, and she was almost thrown out by too much force.
Previously on the boat, Luo Qingli and You Daxiang exchanged a bunch of things in the sea, among which there was a good quality water-repellent bead, which was tied to her wrist, as soon as she entered the water, the water-repellent bead formed a water-repellent barrier around her, and the sea water was isolated, and everything in the sea was in full view.
At night, the bottom of the sea is a deep inky blue, and the sea is turbulent, but the bottom of the sea is much calmer.
Luo Qingli was firmly attached to the dragon's back, knowing that it was one thing to be fast, but when she really felt it herself, she really understood how amazing the speed of the silver horn dragon was.
The bulky body does not affect its posture at all, and I don't know that this silver-horned dragon deliberately turns left and right at the bottom of the sea, rolling and undulating, stirring up the surrounding sea water out of a whirlpool, and also makes Luo Qing on his back dizzy, so he can only lower his body and try to stick to its back shell, holding on to the protrusions on his head.
She had no time to take care of the scenery of the surrounding seabed, and she couldn't care about the path she had walked, this voyage lasted for two days, and when the speed of the silver horn dragon finally slowed down, Luo Qingli's hands were almost stiff.
The sky is bright, the sun shines on the bottom of the sea, the water waves are sparkling, and it is a clear day with blue sky and white clouds on the sea.
Luo Qing didn't know how far they had swam, but she knew that they must not be in the offshore waters now.
The surrounding waters are crystal clear, with seaweeds, strange fish, transparent jellyfish that bloom like flowers, and even clumps of colorful corals.
There were also the breaths of other sea beasts nearby, but when the seventh-order silver horn dragon exuded a unique coercion, those sea beasts, including some sea fish, sensed the danger and automatically retreated, and the sea area under them could definitely be called a pure land.
Luo Qingli's gaze fell on a sparkling coral bush nearby, coral, this kind of thing is also a kind of alchemy material, there are many varieties, pure red coral is still one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, but there are very few pills that need coral.
The delicate coral that was taken out on the boat before was actually in good condition, but it was the most common one in the sea, and the value was not high, but the colorful coral bush in front of it was a very rare species, usually only found in the deep sea, and it was very delicate, and the requirements for the growth environment were extremely harsh.
Matching with it is its value, perennial wearing colorful coral, has the effect of calming the mind, more effective than any tranquilizer, and the longer the year, the more significant the effect of colorful coral, in front of this bush, not to mention a thousand years.
If it weren't for the light of this silver-horned dragon, Luo Qingli wouldn't have seen such a thing, but since he had already seen it, it would be a pity not to pick some back!
"Chenglong senior. Luo Qing said in a loud voice: "Can you stop here, I want to pick some corals ......?"
The flippers gliding in the sea by the silver horn dragon were stunned, and the long neck turned to look at her, and said lightly, "Don't delay too long." ”
"Yes, thank you, senior!"
Luo Qingli jumped down, picked up the Frost Sword in his hand, and walked towards the coral thicket.
Silverhorn looked at her with a deep dark gaze, a glimmer of light in it, and soon it was calm again.
According to the Catalogue of Marine Creatures, it is likely that some small fish are likely to inhabit the corals, they are not monsters, but they are very good at camouflaging themselves, and usually seem to be one with the coral, but when a human approaches and intends to pick the coral, they will attack.
The small fish have sharp teeth that are not inferior to those of bone-eating fish, and once bitten, even if its head is cut off, the teeth still bite the flesh tightly.
She wasn't sure if there were any of these small fish in the coral, but she was cautious.
Luo Qingli approached carefully, and there were no fish, she cut off a piece of coral with a sword, but there was still no danger, so she put it into a storage bag, so she collected a few pieces of coral, Luo Qingli also felt that it was almost over, and when she was about to retreat back, the surrounding aquatic plants suddenly moved.
The water meadow was gently swaying along the sea, and it looked ordinary, but suddenly it grew wildly, and one by one it attacked her, wrapping around her limbs.
Luo Qingli was slightly startled, and the Frost Sword raised a sword aura, cutting down the aquatic plants that were already close to his eyes, but new aquatic plants grew extremely quickly at the incision, and he did not give up.
The aquatic plants were wrapped around her body to avoid water, wrapped one layer at a time, and Luo Qingli was wrapped into a zongzi by these aquatic plants in an instant, tightly fitting, and not revealing a drop of water.
The silverhorn dragon seemed to have expected such a situation a long time ago, and only watched from the sidelines, not intending to meddle or help.
The aquatic plants tightened more and more, and the huge pressure was all pressed on the water-avoiding barrier, and the water-avoiding beads on the wrist flashed, and then the water-avoiding barrier was broken, and this water-avoiding bead was bound to collapse.
Luo Qingli took a deep breath, folded her hands, and the ice domain of the first type of Xuan Bing Jue quietly opened, and a burst of cold qi spread around her as the center, advancing layer by layer.
Ice and water are of the same origin, and the use of ice-based spells in the sea is also unique.
The water here is very warm, and colorful corals can only grow in such water temperatures, and these aquatic plants grow near coral bushes, so they must have similar habits.
When the cold air infected the aquatic plants, the force exerted on the water-avoiding barrier suddenly lightened, and the broad aquatic plants even rolled up the edges, and Luo Qingli knew that the aquatic plants here were indeed afraid of cold.
In this way, everything is much simpler.
Luo Qingli wielded the Frost Sword, and in the ice domain, the power of the flowing wind and snow also increased a little, and the ice flowers intertwined with the ice aura and sword qi flew out, like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, which seemed to be beautiful, but they were secretly murderous.
The ice flower cut the aquatic plants that surrounded the water-sheltering barrier into countless pieces, and the light penetrated again, and the aquatic plants yellowed and withered under the cold air, probably sensing the danger, and they took back one by one.
Luo Qingli also retracted the ice domain, and in just such a moment, a small piece of the colorful coral bush around her withered due to the invasion of the cold, which also made her have to sigh at its delicateness.
Luo Qingli quickly returned to the side of the silver horn riding dragon, "Senior, I'm fine." ”
The silverhorn dragon turned its head, allowing her to climb up her back and continue to lead her forward.
This time it wandered leisurely at the bottom of the sea, and dived deeper and deeper, until a high underwater mountain appeared in front of it, and the silver horn dragon dived to the bottom of the mountain, and there was a narrow crack in the mountain, and it quickly became smaller until it was just able to penetrate this crack.
They walked through the crack for most of the day, and the gap became wider and wider, until at last, the sight suddenly opened up to an open sea, but there were also large and small hills in this sea.
The silver-horned dragon regained its size, opened its huge mouth, and made a whining sound, as if it was saying something, and the sound was extremely penetrating, and it shook Luo Qingli's ears with a buzzing sound.
But then, an even more peculiar scene appeared.
The hills of the seabed, large and small, moved in this way, and the hills were "uprooted", with four flippers sticking out of the bottom, then a short tail, and finally a long neck.
Whining cries came and went, as if in response to the silver-horned dragon.
Luo Qingli was dumbfounded, this was actually the nest of the silver-horned dragon, they were buried in the soil one by one, only a back shell was left outside, and there was no breath leakage, she really thought it was a mountain.
She roughly counted them, and found that there were about dozens of silver-horned dragons here, but in terms of size, it was undoubtedly the largest one under her now.
The dragons came to their patriarch with joy, but when they saw the human monks on the patriarch's back, they all showed unkind eyes.
The old Chenglong "wooed" something to its juniors, and the Chenglong group also "wooed" in response, Luo Qingli climbed down from the old Chenglong's back and stood quietly beside it.
She couldn't understand their language, but she could feel their emotions change from calm to excited to angry, and then under the persuasion of the old dragon, they returned to calm.
The high-level demon beasts that already possessed spiritual intelligence had their pride, and signing a contract with humans, even if it was just an equal contract, was an insult to them, and the faces of the silver-horned dragons were full of unwillingness.
The old dragon snorted, and two long air currents gushed out of his nostrils, and the group of dragons fell silent for a moment.
It said something again, and the eyes of the silver-horned dragons quickly changed, and a few silver-horned dragons came out of the crowd and stood side by side in front of the old dragons, all of them were fifth-order demon beasts.
Lao Chenglong looked at Luo Qingli and said: "Human, these are all fifth-order dragons in my clan, you can choose one of them to sign an equal contract with it, but you also have to promise me a few conditions." ”
"Senior, please speak. ”
Old Chenglong's eyes sharpened, "First, our Chenglong clan has been living under the sea for tens of thousands of years, and we don't want anyone to disturb our peaceful life, although I brought you here, you must keep it a secret and not tell others about this place." ”
Luo Qingli nodded in agreement.
In fact, if she really wants her to tell the specific location of this place, she really can't say, her sense of direction has not been very good, the bottom of the sea is so big, there is no reference, it is easy to get lost, and the old dragon swam so fast before, she didn't remember the way at all.
But in order to reassure the silver-horned dragons, she still pointed to the heavens: "I, Luo Qingli, swear by the demons in my heart that I will not divulge anything about the dragon family to anyone, and if I violate this oath, I will be taught to die a good death." ”
The old dragon nodded, and the hostility of the other silver-horned dragons towards her was instantly much smaller.
"Second, after the dragon of my people has signed a contract with you, you must treat it well, and you must not betray your calculations and not let them fall into danger. ”
Luo Qingli has no opinion.
Since it is an equal contract, it is to put the spirit beast and the human in the same position, and from now on, the spirit beast is her partner, trusting each other and helping each other, which is the most basic requirement.
Lao Chenglong looked at the few fifth-order silver-horned dragons in front of him, closed his eyes and said: "Their age, they are still children among demon beasts, I know that the speed of human cultivation is much faster than that of demon beasts, one day in the future, your cultivation may be able to surpass them, and I hope you promise one thing, after the task is completed, you need to respect its opinion, if it wants to leave, you need to break the contract and let it go." ”
A hundred years ago, Lao Chenglong received the favor of the second son of the Great Wilderness, and promised to go to the soup and fire if there is a need in the future.
Among the demon beasts, they also value the promise, and even they know more about Entu than humans, and they have something to ask for, and Lao Chenglong can't refuse, but it still has to fight for greater rights and interests for its own people.
The Silver Horn Chenglong was only arranged by Ember to supervise Luo Qingli, and after its duties were completed, Lao Chenglong also hoped that Luo Qingli could give the child back a freedom.
Luo Qingli thought for a moment.
With her current realm, it is impossible to sign a fifth-order spirit beast alone, this silver-horned dragon was obtained by her by chance, the process is too tortuous, and in the next hundred years, they will all be partners.
The equal contract between humans and monsters, and no one dominates this issue, and the power to terminate the contract is in the hands of the party who signed it.
That is to say, if Luo Qingli is the one who signed the contract, then if the spirit beast wants to leave, it can cancel the contract at any time and leave, on the contrary, if the spirit beast takes the initiative to sign an equal contract with people, then the right to terminate the contract is in the hands of human cultivation.
