Chapter 18: The Strange Old Woman
The old woman is on crutches and has a rickety figure, which looks no different from other old people who are also in their old age, but this image makes people look not so lifeless and lifeless, but makes people feel a little awe.
The old woman slowly moved this step closer to Zhang Yixian's position, her expression was waveless, and the wooden staff in her hand tapped lightly near her feet, and after a while, something that made people stunned appeared.
First of all, the grass under Zhang Yixian's body grew wildly, forming a human-shaped bed around his body, and then the grass under him was like a life, holding Zhang Yixian's almost nothingness body, and when his body gradually approached the old woman, unconsciously, her brows furrowed slightly, and the wooden staff in her hand knocked heavily on her feet, and this time something more strange happened.
The grass holding Zhang Yixian's body from the tip of the leaf, gradually a drop of fine green brilliance is condensing, and finally flows down Zhang Yixian's body, after the end of this process, all the plants and trees are like a serious illness, the mind is drooping, listless.
Seeing Zhang Yixian's body slowly condense, until his body was no longer as illusory as before, the old woman's brows disappeared from her face, and she returned to her ancient and waveless expression.
She walked forward with a wooden staff, and the grass on the ground behind her followed the old woman at an unhurried pace, like a conveyor belt.
After walking a few steps, the old woman's rickety body stopped again, and Zhang Yixian behind him was also held up by the grass and stopped, and when the old woman looked carefully, she found that Zhang Yixian, who had been moisturized by the essence of plants and trees just now, looked a little dim at the moment.
The old woman's brows furrowed again, but this time she didn't tap the ground with the wooden staff in her hand, but slowly walked in front of Zhang Yixian, her eyes fell on his body, and slowly she saw the pale black mist wrapped around Zhang Yixian's fingers, the black mist the size of a hair now has a trace of green in the middle.
Seeing this scene, the old woman's brows furrowed even tighter, but she didn't use the vitality of these plants and trees anymore, but turned around and continued to move forward slowly, and Zhang Yixian behind her also followed the old woman's footsteps.
After descending a hill and entering the forest, the road became rough, and occasionally a rock the size of a millstone was blocked between the trees.
The old woman's expression did not change, the wooden staff in her hand was still at her feet and tapped it, after the sudden sound, the grass that was originally holding Zhang Yixian's body slowly sank into the soil below, and then a white tiger sprung out from between the mountains and forests。
After completing this, the white tiger did not delay, and lifted Zhang Yixian, who was lying on the ground, with his palm coated with his own blood, and after placing it firmly on his back, he continued to follow behind the old woman. The whole process takes less than a few minutes.
The old woman was still walking very slowly, and the white tiger behind her did not have the slightest look of annoyance in her eyes, but was respectful and respectful.
Walking through the woods, this time the old woman stopped, did not use the wooden staff in her hand, but looked up at the sun in the sky, her eyes seemed to be pondering something, and it seemed that she didn't, and then looked back at Zhang Yixian, as if she was wondering whether it was worth saving him.
The old woman didn't move, the white tiger under Zhang Yixian didn't move, and even the front paws were still in a position of stepping into the air, and a pair of tiger eyes stared at the old woman tightly, waiting for her instructions.
After standing for a while, the old woman continued to move forward, from the woods to the swamp, and then across the water, after walking a long distance, the old woman's rickety figure stopped in front of a cave, and the white tiger that followed her gently lowered Zhang Yixian's body and quietly prostrated to the side.
The old woman glanced at the white tiger, her eyes were still unwavering, but the white tiger crawling on the ground was shocked, like a sifting of chaff.
The old woman snorted, a green light flew out from the wooden staff, and instantly submerged into the body of the white tiger, when the drop of green liquid on the wooden staff fell on the white tiger's body, its body had no other changes, but the position of the tiger's back, there were two very obvious convex and concave appearances, slowly becoming larger, with the white tiger's painful muffled sound, a pair of white and sharp wings grew out of its ribs, and the breath on its body was also stronger than before.
At the old woman's suggestion, the white tiger excitedly waved his wings, which were not very skilled, and flew away, leaving only the old woman and Zhang Yixian who was still lying on the ground.
After the white tiger left, the old woman glanced back at Zhang Yixian again, not only that, but this time her gaze also stayed on Zhang Yixian's fingers.
Then she tapped the ground with her wooden staff, and the 10,000-pound boulder in front of the cave that had originally covered the entrance of the cave opened in response.
After the boulder opened, the figure of the old woman slowly disappeared into the hole, and then, out of the dark hole came a colorful fox, and then behind it came a pure white lone wolf the size of more than a foot out, and then there were all kinds of other strange animals coming out of it, the most conspicuous was one of the pure black unicorns.
I don't know what the origin of this old woman is, not to mention the strange wooden staff in her hand, there are so many animals in the cave where she lives.
The sound of chirping resounded in front of the old woman's cave, and finally it was the colorful fox in the lead who roared, and the conspicuous pure black unicorn held Zhang Yixian on the ground on his back and slowly walked towards the darkness in the cave.
The colorful fox also followed closely behind the unicorn, and the other animals also glanced at each other, and slowly retreated into the dark cave without success.
After all the animals disappeared, the 10,000-pound boulder that lay horizontally at the entrance of the cave slowly closed again.
In addition to dozens of pairs of strange animals that emitted green light, there was also a figure that emitted light, and when I looked at it, it was the old woman who had entered the cave earlier, and with her steps, the light on her body shone forward, and she became the only one in this dark and dull cave.
All the animals followed the old woman's glowing figure as they walked step by step towards the depths of the cave.
