Chapter 145: A Moment of Gluttony Causing Trouble
Gu Chenzi on the raft looked at the surprised look of the people on the shore, and thought it was a praising gaze, and when he was beaming with pride, the head of the Kongtong faction, Gu Xingzi, shouted: "It's not good, junior brother hurry up and go ashore!"
At first, the raft had not completely sunk into the water, and there was still some buoyancy, and after the raft began to immerse itself in the sand dunes below, it sank like a stone falling into the water, at a very fast speed, and before Gu Chenzi could react, half of his body was buried in the quicksand in an instant.
The people on the shore were a little panicked, because there was no rope or anything like that for him to grasp, and they did not dare to go down to save him. Lone Xingzi and Lone Chenzi have been brothers for decades, and their relationship is not ordinary, and Lone Xingzi is ready to jump into the river to save him.
Xiao Xiangzi pulled Lone Xingzi back, he is the head of the Kongtong faction, he can't just die, although their death does not affect the overall situation, but Xiao Xiangzi's indifference will inevitably make people feel cold, now is an eventful time, because such a small thing makes people's hearts unstable, and the gains outweigh the losses after all.
Lone Xingzi didn't shake off Xiao Xiangzi's hand, seeing that his junior brother Gu Chenzi had been flooded to his chest by quicksand, and knelt in front of Xiao Xiangzi regardless of the dignity of the head of the faction.
"Ask the Lord of the Xiao Alliance to save him. While asking for help and kowtowing, the people around him were all moved.
I saw Xiao Xiangzi raise his hand to the sky, and the Xiaoyao Venerable swooped down and hurriedly flew towards the quicksand river. At this time, Gu Chenzi had only one head and hands left on the surface of the river.
Gu Chenzi's hands danced wildly on the surface of the river, and the Easy Venerable picked up a wrist-thick wooden stick and stretched it into the river, and Gu Chenzi grabbed it. Venerable Xiaoyao used all his strength to pull him out, and lived up to expectations, Gu Chenzi's body was being brought up little by little.
The people on the shore applauded for a while, but the thousand-faced scholar Qing Huaen was very anxious, and he wondered in his heart: "Could it be that the records in the ancient books are not true? It is estimated that there is a mysterious animal in the quicksand river, called the sand loach." "The appearance of the sand loach is almost the same as that of ordinary loaches, but its body shape is several times that of ordinary loaches, and it is fierce and abnormal, and it feeds on meat. The most frightening thing is that they can swim back and forth in the quicksand river where goose feathers cannot float, and come and go as freely as ordinary fish in rivers and lakes. The sand loach lives only in the quicksand river, and the local residents call it the river god. Every Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and other festivals, cattle and sheep should be sent into the river to worship them, so as to ensure that the wind and rain are smooth and there is a good harvest in the coming year.
Gu Chenzi's feet were taken out of the water by the Easy Venerable and moved towards the shore. was finally rescued ashore, and the people of Chivalry Villa cheered for a while. Everyone's eyes focused on Gu Chenzi, who was rescued ashore, and no one noticed that the water surface not far from the river was abnormal and the waves were turbulent.
Gu Chenzi struggled in the river, and had already exhausted the strength in his body, and this time he was rescued, unable to stand, and collapsed to the ground. Lone Xingzi hurriedly stepped forward to check on Lone Chenzi's situation. Suddenly, I heard Qing Huaen shouting: "Don't go over!"
Before everyone could react, several monsters suddenly jumped out of the river behind Gu Chenzi, their bodies were as smooth as mirrors, and their ability to reflect sunlight was a little stronger than that of a bronze mirror. The eyes of the people were irritated, and they either turned their heads away, or covered their hands with their clothes. After the bright light disappeared, he looked at the shore again, where was there still the figure of Gu Chenzi, if it wasn't for the traces of water left on the ground, I didn't know that there was another person here just now.
Everyone was horrified, only to feel that the river was full of stars, and from time to time there was a strong light jumping out of the water.
"Ahh
There was another scream, a disciple of the Kongtong faction was pulled closer to the river, the disciple grabbed a tree by the river with one hand, and the other disciples of the Kongtong faction saw this, and several people rushed forward to rescue the disciple, and suddenly a few silver lights floated in front of them, and the disciples disappeared in an instant, as if they had evaporated out of thin air in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone was shocked, and some people reacted that this disciple was just a bait for the things in the river, and the real purpose was to lure more people to come to the rescue, and then they would have more things in their stomachs, and they didn't expect that the things in the river had such a mind.
Qing Huaen said: "Everyone stand back, this is the sand loach in the quicksand river, the surface is like a copper mirror, and the scales are like steel!" Everyone hurriedly retreated dozens of feet, afraid that they would be accidentally pulled down and their bones would be gone.
Everyone retreated, but Lan Qianyang did not retreat, seeing the disciple who was struggling by the river, he wanted to rescue him. But the dark tide in the middle of the river not far away is surging, and I don't know how many loaches are waiting for someone to take the bait. In the past, people used bait to fish, but today the sand loach has treated them in their own way. If it was too late, and the loach understood that this bait was no longer effective, then this disciple would not even have a bone left in an instant.
Lan Qianyang didn't dare to underestimate the sand loach in the river, pulled out the soul chasing sword, and walked towards the disciple by the river step by step.
"Don't go, Brother Qianyang!" the celestial star behind him shouted urgently.
Lan Qianyang didn't slow down, Tianxing didn't care about anything, he wanted to rush up, Lan Qianyang shouted: "Xing'er, don't come over!"
Tianxing was frightened, and he was stunned on the spot, and he was pulled back by the other three envoys of the Cold Moon Palace. Seeing this, Lan Qianyang continued to walk towards the disciple, and every time he took a step closer to the river, the more excited the loaches in the river became. The mud and sand kept tumbling, like boiling water in a cauldron. When Lan Qianyang was only a kilometer away from the river, he leaned forward with extreme caution.
Lan Qianyang squatted down, holding the Soul Chasing Sword in his right hand, and slowly stretched out his left hand towards the disciple, the man's face was pale and his speech was slurred, Lan Qianyang thought that he was frightened to do so. The man grabbed Lan Qianyang's left hand tightly with both hands, and Lan Qianyang used his strength, but he didn't even drag the person in the river. Lan Qianyang was stunned, he couldn't imagine that the suction of the quicksand in this river was so strong, and he transported his true qi, even if the boulder in his hand was hundreds of catties now, it was not difficult to lift it now, and it was another drag, but the person still didn't move at all, and he couldn't help but think about it in his heart: "If you increase the force in your hand, I'm afraid you will tear his hands off." ”
Lan Qianyang let go of the disciple's hands, the disciple still continued to hold on to the tree by the river, temporarily stalemate, Lan Qianyang suddenly reached into the disciple's waist, exerted all his strength, grabbed his belt and pulled it to the shore, and the disciple was indeed thrown on the shore. It's just that not only the disciple was brought up, but also the disciple was bitten by the loach, and if you look closely, there are more than a dozen. Only then did Lan Qianyang understand why this disciple was heavier than hundreds of catties of boulders just now.
But what was even more frightening was that this disciple's feet had disappeared, and he must have already entered the belly of the loach. The sand loaches on the ground are about the same size, each about two or three feet long. When they found that they had been thrown ashore, they did not panic, let go of the person who was biting in their mouths, turned around, used their fins as their feet, and crawled step by step towards the river, which made everyone tremble.
Song Yuanjian was stunned for a while, although there was fear in his heart, but no matter what fear he had, he couldn't be the essence of a foodie's gluttony, and said in his heart: "This ghost thing may still have some skills in the river, but now it can't help it on the shore?" said to Song Zhekun next to him: "Song Monkey, I feel that this thing is very delicious, this loach can be met but not sought, why don't you catch one to try it?"
Song Zhekun said: "Your turtle son doesn't want to be eaten by it." ”
Song Yuanjian shook his head, the long whip behind him wrapped around his neck, pulled out the long sword of a disciple next to him, and said as he walked: "It turns out that this is the thing that killed Elder Gu Chenzi, and Lao Tzu wants to avenge the elder today." ”
Song Yuanjian saw that there were more than a dozen loaches on the ground, and he was a little cowardly, and when there were only two or three of them, he raised his sword and slashed at one of the loaches that was climbing on the ground.
"Bell!"
A sound of metal knocking sounded in everyone's ears, the tiger's mouth in his right hand was a little numb, and when he raised his sword, the long sword was broken at the waist, and the sand loach on the ground was unharmed, seeing that Song Yuan's sword was cold, he couldn't imagine that the body of this loach was several times harder than the long sword.
"Hoo ......"
The sand loach on the ground, which had just been attacked by the long sword, sensed the danger, and accelerated the pace of movement, and at the same time let out an inexplicable cry, and after a while, the same sound came from the river, at first it was just one place, but then more and more, and finally the whole river was this "whirring" sound, as if every inch of quicksand in the quicksand river had life, surging all the time.
"Hoo ......"
The sand loach just now was a strange scream, and when he heard this cry, Song Yuanjian was really startled at first, thinking that this monster was going to launch a powerful offensive, after a while, except for the whirring sound in the river response, there was nothing unusual around, Song Yuanjian calmed down, his heart was on fire, and he scolded: "Call your ancestors eighteen generations!" Everyone thought it was funny, the great protector of the dignified and chivalrous mountain villa couldn't get along with a fish, but they immediately felt that it was not funny, because in the center of the quicksand river, a whirlpool with a radius of several zhang wide was formed, and then a small mountain of sand was slowly rising, and under the sand mountain, there must be some behemoth.
Just when everyone's eyes were attracted by the behemoth in the river, all the loaches that had just been brought up by Lan Qianyang jumped into the river, and when the last loach jumped into the river, everyone's hearts suddenly felt a strong dullness, as if heralding the end of a certain stage, but also symbolizing the beginning of another stage.
Some of the people couldn't stand still, as if they were hallucinating, and when they came to their senses, they realized that it was not an illusion, and the ground was shaking under their feet. Everyone was horrified, thinking that it was a ground movement (earthquake) like Kunlun Mountain. It was found that every time the land shook violently, the sand on the sand hill in the river shook off a few points, and finally found that it was surprisingly consistent.
"Look!" suddenly someone pointed to the river and shouted in a trembling voice, as if he had seen something terrible.
Everyone looked for prestige, it turned out to be a huge sand loach, just saw the sand mountain under its head, just such a head is seven or eight feet wide, such a big loach must usually live at the bottom of the river, heard the call of the small loach, only from the bottom of the river to the river, just every time the ground moved just it shook off the sand above the head!
