Chapter 22: Waving Away
The middle-aged man Shang Ming used his sword to split the thorns blocking the road in front of him, and listened carefully to the slight sound coming from time to time in the peach blossom forest. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
A gray-shirted young man with a steel knife in his hand, with a vigilant expression, bent over and walking slowly forward.
There was a click, but it was a dead branch under his feet.
The red light flashed, startling a red snake with its fangs and biting the gray-shirted young man's face.
The young man swung his knife and slashed, and the snake was cut into two parts, but the head of the snake still burst into the young man's face, and a terrible scream sounded.
The young man's eyes were round, black blood flowed down, the green tendons protruded from his neck, and the black blood flowed under the skin, and finally the seven orifices bled and he fell to the ground.
Not good, these snakes are alarmed.
In all directions, from the peach trees, among the rocks, and among the blades of grass, small red snakes crawled out, writhing towards everyone.
The leader of the Qingzhu Gang said in a deep voice: "Quickly take out the realgar powder and throw it along the road." ”
The helpers of the Qingzhu Gang hurriedly took out a small bag from their arms and poured realgar powder around, and sure enough, those red snakes were eyeing each other under the stimulation of some realgar, and they did not dare to move.
The crowd was like this, sprinkling the medicinal powder all the way, and walking slowly all the way.
At this time, a voice suddenly came, and said in a panic: "Helper, there are not many realgar powders." ”
Gang Leader Lin's face sank, he looked at Song Yun and the others, and made up his mind: "Collect the realgar powder, let's go first, you guys are here to confront the snakes." ”
Gang Leader Lin originally planned to take people to follow Song Yun and the others all the way to the giant monument to see if he could lure him out, but seeing that the surrounding snakes were about to move, he could only leave the gang to deal with the poisonous snakes.
It didn't take long for the medicinal powder to be collected in the hands of Song Yun and others, and even Lu Bei took two packs in his hands.
Gang Leader Lin took Lu Bei and the others, joined the middle-aged man Shang Ming, and walked all the way forward.
When he had gone two more miles, he found a brook with a small bridge running across it, and by the bridge sat a toad, squinting his eyes, as if he were sleeping, but still lazily sticking out his tongue and spitting into the stream without stopping.
The stream was dark and dark, bottomless, except for the occasional peach blossom petals fluttering in the air, unable to fall into it, and then scorched black and withered.
The old gang leader of the Qingzhu Gang said: "The venom sprayed by this poisonous toad is extremely strong, but fortunately, its natural snooze, we should be careful, it should not alarm it." ”
At this time, among the group, except for the old gang leader and Shang Ming, Lu Bei and his party were left.
Lu Bei and Song Yun nodded, and immediately tiptoed towards the wooden bridge.
The toad had indeed fallen asleep, and several people cautiously walked up to the wooden bridge, when suddenly there was a sharp roar from the sky, and a three-foot night owl pounced on the place where everyone was.
The peach blossom petals flew wildly, and the long beak of the night owl was like an iron hook, grabbing at the toad.
When the poisonous toad screamed, its eyelids were already open, and when it saw the night owl, it was like seeing a natural predator, and with a kick of its hind legs, it was about to leap towards the stream.
At this time, he suddenly saw Lu Bei and his party, and a touch of cunning suddenly appeared in the eyes of the poisonous toad, and he suddenly spit out a black venom towards Lu Bei and the others.
Not good. Lin Lao Gang Leader roared, but it was too late, the venom was extremely dispersed, and it was drenched on Lin Lao Gang Leader and Na Shangming in an instant, and at the same time, some others splashed on Gongsun Wu and his wife, only Ji Ling, Lu Bei and Song Yun were in the back of their bodies and were not affected.
Lin Shang and the others, at this time, their faces were already visible white bones, half of their bodies were corroded, and the terrible and tragic roar spread throughout the peach blossom forest.
At this time, the night owl saw the toad jump into the stream, hovered in the air for a while, and suddenly collided with Lu Bei and the others, and two sharp claws slashed through, which was a steel fan flying up, and the claws made a sound of gold and iron clashing.
Lu Bei and Ji Ling also pulled out their swords and slashed at the night owl, but the night owl spread its wings and flew into the air in a blink of an eye.
Song Yun picked up the fan from the ground, and looked at the fact that the fan bone had been broken into two halves, and his face was blue.
At this time, the old gang leader of the Qingzhu Gang Lin and the leader of the Sanhe Gang, Shang Ming, were already dying, and they collapsed to the ground, moaning in pain.
At this time, Lu Beifang saw that Gongsun Wu and his wife were already pale, Gongsun Wu's neck was already impregnated with a small piece of venom, and his wife Su Guo was behind him, and a few drops of venom on his snow-white arm began to spread.
Gongsun Wu's forehead was full of cold sweat, holding his wife Su Guo's Rouyi, and said in a low voice: "I still didn't protect you in the end." ”
Su Guo frowned lightly and smiled slightly: "It's okay." ”
The husband and wife clasped their hands tightly, and looked at Song Yun and the others with regret at this time.
Gongsun Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Song, the two of us are waiting for a few good news in Chixiao City." ”
Song Yun bowed his head and said, "Take care." ”
Lu Bei, Ji Ling and the others are also related, although they know that the couple will definitely be resurrected in Chixiao City, but looking at the blue and black appearance of their lips, they know that some pain is inevitable.
After saying the same to the couple to take care, Lu Bei and Ji Ling also walked quickly past the couple.
Gongsun Wu and his wife hugged each other, looking at the direction where Lu Bei and the others disappeared, and the red monument stood silently.
Lu Bei and Song Ji walked for about half an hour, and saw a huge altar in the distance, standing quietly not far in front.
There are dozens of steps on all sides of the altar, and the shape is clearly similar to that of the altar in Bai Ning City.
Lu Bei and the others were all happy in their hearts, knowing that they had come to the wrong place, they immediately hurried to the altar.
At this time, a breeze caressed, pieces of peach blossom petals fell, the fragrance of flowers was intoxicating, and layers of smoke miasma suddenly rose in the peach blossom tree, which seemed to have a tendency to diffuse.
Seeing this, the three of them did not delay any longer, unfolded their light footwork, and hurried towards the altar.
The three of them leaped up, stepping over the ninety-nine steps and up directly above the altar. A huge red monument stood silently in the middle of the altar.
Song Yun and Ji Ling were about to step forward and press it, but Lu Bei said, "The two of you are slow." ”
Song Yun and Ji Ling both looked at Lu Bei with puzzled expressions.
Lu Bei took out the faint red Chixiao Sword from his back and pasted it on the stone stele, the fiery red stone tablet suddenly shone brightly, and then a power that permeated the heavens and the earth surged, and the illusion seemed to disappear like a broken little streamer, Song Ji and the two were about to ask something, but they saw a little red streamer appear, and led the two away.
And in the distance, the direction of Chixiao City was also lit up with a little red light, luring away the people trapped in Chixiao City.
Lu Beixin said: "Sure enough, under the echo of this Chixiao Sword and the Red Emperor Tablet, this fantasy realm automatically generates the power of teleportation." ”
It turned out that outside the Peach Blossom Forest, Lu Bei faintly felt a vibration of the Chixiao Sword, which seemed to echo the Red Emperor Monument from afar.
Entering this place, Lu Bei gave it a try, but he didn't expect to really send these people back to Bai Ning City.
It seems that this Chixiao Sword is a token, and with this thing, it can shuttle back and forth between the second city and the first and third cities.
Seeing that the illusion was shattered, Lu Bei hesitated in his heart: "Do you want to go to the third city, Blackwater City, to have a look, well, let's talk about it later, anyway, with this Chixiao token, there will be opportunities to enter and exit the two cities in the future." ”
At that moment, the palm holding the Chixiao Sword was attached to the Red Emperor Monument, and the Red Emperor Monument moved slightly, and then a fiery red streamer disappeared in place.
