Chapter 16: The Water Beast
There are faint beasts roaring, and there are not a few jackals, tigers and leopards in the Yishui mountain forest.
"This is it. Zhao Weiquan found a boulder and sighed slightly.
This boulder is two people high, the slightly lower part is covered with moss, the side of the boulder, with a knife carved a small word "Zhao", carved into the stone for three points, it looks like it has been many years old, it is the ancestors of the Zhao family carved.
"There is a stream along the right side of this stone for 300 paces, and then it goes down the stream, and the place where the water flows is a stone wall. Zhao Weiquan read out what was written on the map.
There is more than one road from the bottom of the mountain to the place where the fruit is picked, and each of the four families has its own route.
"Later, we will go to the stone wall to rest for a while, and after opening the secret door of the stone wall, it will be the area of the demon beasts. Zhao Weiquan commanded.
Along the way, nothing happened to this boulder, only a few poisonous snakes were encountered, and the poisonous snakes were killed before they could attack, and the large beasts were not encountered.
Half of the journey has passed, and it seems that the means laid by the Liu family are still in the demon beast area.
After walking for a while, I saw a stream, the stream was not big and only half a person wide, the stream was clear, gurgling downward, and there seemed to be a few river crabs and a few small fish among the gravel under the water.
Everyone in the Zhao family wanted to go to the stream to drink a few sips, and He Ping was also a little thirsty because he had been walking for more than an hour and wanted to take a few sips of stream water to moisten his throat.
At this time, he was stopped by Zhao Weiquan, "No!"
Everyone was stunned, and Zhao Weiquan immediately explained, "There are man-eating beasts in this stream!"
Zhao Weiquan stared at the stream, no longer spoke, and only broke a section of the withered tree trunk next to him and threw it into the stream.
At this time, a sudden change occurred, and dozens of eyeless beasts suddenly leaped out from under the rubble, this strange beast was gray and white, the same color as the gravel, and had four claws, which looked like a large toad, but its claws were sharp, and its teeth were like saws.
Before the dead wood could reach the stream, it was torn into pieces by these strange beasts, and then it was eaten up when it fell into the stream, and then it sank into the rubble as if it had never been seen before.
He Ping was shocked into a cold sweat, if he approached this stream, he was afraid that in an instant, only the white bones would be left, no, looking at the appearance of this strange beast, he was afraid that the white bones would not exist.
"Don't worry, this thing has no eyes and won't hurt anyone on the shore. Zhao Weiquan slowly explained, "This strange beast is called a water toad, often at the bottom of the stream stone, even if there is no map reminder, you should be careful of the stream, this beast in the book building "Yishui Strange Beast Record" is not unrecorded." ”
This made everyone blush, they were all studying in the library, but they didn't know what the eldest brother knew.
After Zhao Weiquan reminded a few more words and waited for the strange beasts that might appear, he took the lead and walked forward again.
The stone wall is smooth, and the stream water flows to one part of the stone wall and turns sharply down to become an undercurrent.
Zhao Weiquan asked everyone to sit down and rest first, and he groped around on the stone wall.
He Ping found a square stone and sat down, and at this time, one of the people in the Zhao family suddenly walked over to him.
He Ping looked up and saw that it was Zhao Weiguo, He Ping and Zhao Weiguo were not very familiar, they could meet every day, but they didn't say a few words, they just knew his name from Huang Jiaoxi.
"Brother He Ping," Zhao Weiguo is only a little older than Zhao Wei'an, so it is no problem to call He Ping Brother He Ping.
"What's the matter?" He Ping had a good impression of Zhao Weiguo, and Zhao Weiguo was also extremely hard working in Huang Jiaoxi, unlike Zhao Wei'an, who was always listless.
"Brother He Ping, I heard that you went to Liuhualou the day before yesterday and went into Miss Fang's wing, is it true? Zhao Weiguo said in a low voice.
"Yes, there is such a thing. He Ping nodded and replied, "But I just sent a letter for Zhao Wei'an, and when I went to Miss Fang's room, I just talked and didn't do anything else." ”
Zhao Weiguo touched his head, smiled honestly, and said, "Brother He Ping, I know that you are sending a letter for Wei An, as soon as I heard that Brother He Ping you sent a love letter, I knew that Wei An asked you to go for him, only Wei An would be like this." ”
"Fortunately, Guard doesn't know about this now, otherwise he would have to be in a hurry with Brother He Ping. ”
"I see, then you have to defend the country and keep it a secret. He Ping also smiled and said.
"That's natural. Zhao Weiguo also sat down next to him, and said, "Brother He Ping, you have to be careful of Liu He." ”
"He regards Miss Fang as a forbidden body, Brother He Ping, if you go to Miss Fang's room, he will definitely not be able to get along with you. ”
"Yanagi?"
"Yes, it's the eldest son of the Liu family, he didn't dare to come to the Zhao family to hurt you when you were in the Zhao family, but if the Liu family wants to do something bad to our Zhao family, Brother He Ping, you will definitely bear the brunt, but be careful. ”
"I saved it, thank you for reminding me. Zhao Weiguo's remarks made He Ping more cautious.
However, Liu He must not dare to make a move in person, because once the Liu family makes a move against the Zhao family, it will destroy the delicate relationship between the four families, and it is not that the Tang and Chen families are willing to see it.
Everyone replenished their physical strength slightly, and Zhao Weiquan finally touched a depression.
Zhao Weiquan patted a few times to confirm that it was here, so he took a few steps back and took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms.
Zhao Weiquan had not yet broken through the Qi refining, and he was temporarily unable to control the aura of heaven and earth, so he had to cut his fingers with the knife he carried, drop a few drops of blood on the rune paper, and shout "Pro!"
I saw that the rune paper turned into a beam of light and sank into the stone wall, and after a while, as the sand and stone trembled, a huge stone gradually protruded from the stone wall, and behind the boulder was a passage to the back of the stone wall.
"Wait a little longer and go in, this passage has been closed for twenty years, the inside is empty and muddy, and the aura is almost completely empty, just wait for the turbid air to come out on its own. "Zhao Weiquan is really competent as a leader, and he thinks carefully in all aspects.
The air in the stone wall was indeed bad, and the smell of sand and gravel gushing out of it mixed with the air to form a strange smell, but after a while, the smell faded.
"Guard, take out your Night Pearl and go ahead. Zhao Weiquan said to Zhao Wei'an.
Zhao Wei'an has a night pearl, he naturally shows off every day, and it would be a strange thing if he didn't let others know about his temperament.
However, at this time, Zhao Wei'an glanced up at He Ping, a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly ran to the front to take out the night pearl, not daring to look at He Ping again.
Although the pearl of this night is small, it is extremely bright, like a lamp, illuminating the bleak road ahead, it can be called a treasure, and this kind of treasure is afraid that it also contains some aura.
At the end, Zhao Wei'an pushed a little harder, and the boulder at the other end was also pushed away, and a stronger light shone in, making it difficult to open your eyes.
When they came out, the height of the trees was a little uneven, but the sunlight was letting in.
Here, there is a realm of demon beasts.
