Chapter 177: Kiss of the Owl
The four of them were anxiously flying in the air more than 20 meters above the lake, while always paying attention to the movements below.
Mu Chen kept praying in his heart, that creature must not appear again, let the four of them safely cross the Xinji Ice Lake and reach the other side!
But things always backfire, and what you don't want will always come.
The creature hid under the ice again and disappeared, and just when everyone was guarding against Bai Chen's side, the creature burst out from under Mu Chen's feet and bit it with a big mouth again.
Mu Chen quickly let go of the rope and flew upward, avoiding the monster's attack.
"Are you alright?"
"It's fine. Mu Chen shook his head, indicating that he was not injured, but his heartbeat was still a little flustered.
This creature's attack is too strong, and with the cover of this ice, it is very good at stealth sneak attacks. Now he hid under the ice and disappeared again.
"This will not work, we must take the initiative to attack. Mu Chen said.
Yao Si nodded in agreement, came up with a solution, and said to Jie Shuli, "You use karmic fire to melt this ice so that we can see where it is. ”
"Okay!" Breaking away from the house, he immediately took out the child's fan and released the karmic fire.
The karmic fire in the childe fan is not an ordinary open flame, it cannot be swallowed by water, but can be more vigorous with the help of water. It's very harmful.
But according to what he said, his karmic fire is the red lotus karmic fire, which is only one of the more powerful divine fires in the world. There are six kinds of divine fires in the world, namely Nanming Lihuo, Samadhi True Fire, Red Lotus Karmic Fire, Netherworld Ghost Fire, Crape Myrtle Heavenly Fire, and Void Karmic Fire.
His Red Lotus Karmic Fire could only rank fourth, and the power of the first three Divine Flames was many times greater than his. But since the Great War of the Three Realms, many powerful divine objects have disappeared, and these divine fires have also disappeared.
When the Red Lotus Karma Fire was only cut off and inadvertently got the Gongzi fan, it was already unknown who was taking it in.
The ice slowly melted under the scorching heat of karma, blooming into the form of red lotus flowers. In a few moments, all the remaining ice was gone, revealing the lake inside.
"There!"
Everything in the lake is in full view, and the creature is exposed. I saw that it was ten meters long, with a fish-like body and two fins. But the head is very large, without gills, and it does not look like a fish. It is constantly swimming in the water and is particularly fast.
"Ah Li, burn it with fire. Mu Chen said.
I saw that the red lotus karmic fire that had been broken off rushed straight towards the creature in the water, but before the karmic fire entered the water, the creature suddenly jumped out, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed all the karmic fire into its stomach.
The creature was back in the water again, swam a few times, and nothing happened.
Can it swallow fire?
The Red Lotus Karma Fire that broke away is the fourth among the six divine fires, although it has also encountered many creatures that are not afraid of the Red Lotus Karma Fire before. For example, the previous evil dragon and the blue maple that turned into a monster. But in the past, it was possible to burn on them, leaving some damage behind.
But this time, this unknown creature actually swallowed the Red Lotus Karmic Fire directly, which surprised everyone and shocked everyone.
But now the ice is gone, and the creature has no hidden ice, and has been swimming in the water, not attacking. But Mu Chen knew that it was just looking for an opportunity.
"Could it be an owl kiss?" Yao Si, who had been thinking silently about something, suddenly said.
"What is this?" asked Mu Chen in surprise, he had never heard of this name.
Yao Si explained: "The owl kiss, also known as the owl tail, is the eldest of the nine sons of the dragon, the combination of the dragon and the fish, the dragon in the shape of a fish. Look at what it looks like. Fish-shaped body, but with a dragon-like head. With a big mouth open, he is greedy by nature and can swallow fire. ”
According to the "Taiping Yulan": "Tang will be important, after the disaster of the Liang Palace of the Han Dynasty, the more Wuyan, there are fish in the sea, the tail is like an owl, and the torrent is rainfall, so it is like the tail, in order to disgust the fire. ”
Breaking away asked, "Then all the people in Ice and Snow City who fell in here before were eaten by it?"
Yao Si nodded and replied, "Presumably so. ”
Just as everyone was talking, the owl kissed straight up again. Originally, it was biting towards Breaking Sheli, but just as Breaking Away was dodging, it suddenly turned its head and bit Mu Chen, who was worried about Breaking Away and was defenseless for a while, and dragged him into the water.
"Mu Chen!"
She and Bai Chen were so anxious that they were about to jump into the water immediately, but they were stopped by Yao Si, "I'll save him, you go to the shore and wait." ”
After Yao Si finished speaking, he jumped into the water, and Duan Sheli and Bai Chen had no choice but to fly to the other side. After all, it was the dragon's son in the water, and they were fighting underwater, so they had better not make trouble. The two believed that Yao Si would definitely be able to save Mu Chen.
Mu Chen's leg was scratched by the sharp teeth of the owl's kiss, and the blood burst out instantly, staining the surrounding lake red. The snout was stimulated by the blood and became even more ferocious.
Mu Chen took out the Dragon Sword to resist, but because the lake was too cold, Mu Chen's wound seemed to be stabbed by countless sharp swords, and the pain was incomparable. His speed has dropped a lot, and he can only dodge Owl's attacks, but he can't attack and damage it.
The owl is extremely watery, and it swims to the bottom while attacking Mu Chen. It wanted to lure Mu Chen to keep going down the water, and the further down it went, the lower the temperature and the less oxygen. It seems that it is going to use this method to drown Mu Chen.
Mu Chen thought that this kiss was quite smart, but its wishful thinking was wrong. Since Mu Chen had the essence of the merman clan, he could shuttle in the water at will, and he could breathe freely as if he were on the ground.
But it was not a problem to swim in the water all the time, so Mu Chen chased the owl all the way to the bottom of the lake.
"Mu Chen, how are you?" Yao Si followed Mu Chen to the bottom of the Xinji Ice Lake.
"It's okay, why are you here?" asked Mu Chen.
Yao Si glanced at Mu Chen, pointed to the wound on his leg and said, "What do you say I am here for, I am not careful." ”
It was indeed Mu Chen's negligence that gave Kiss the Owl an opportunity to take advantage of, bitten himself, and was dragged into the water.
Mu Chen endured the pain in his leg, pretended to smile casually and said to Yao Si: "This little injury is nothing, but this water is too cold, you better go up and join Ah Li Baichen." I can fix the kiss of the owl. ”
Yao Si tore off the hairband that tied her long hair, and personally squatted down to tie the wound for Mu Chen, temporarily stopping the bleeding.
"Don't say anything reckless if you're like this, I can still deal with this little thing. Yao Si said.
Mu Chen was a little embarrassed, and he shouldn't have answered for a while.
And after swimming to the bottom of the lake, the owl kiss stopped on a rock, and although its eyes were staring at Mu Chen and Yao Si deadly, it never attacked.
"What's wrong with it?" Mu Chen looked at the owl on the opposite side suspiciously, not knowing what it was going to do.
Could it be that it didn't lure Mu Chen to the bottom of the lake to kill him?
"Let's go over and see. ”
Yao Si and Mu Chen cautiously walked towards Kiss Owl, but at this moment, Kiss Kiss, who was lying on the stone, suddenly spoke.
"Why are you crossing this ice lake?"
Mu Chen and Yao Si looked at each other in surprise, it turned out that Kiss could speak.
Yao Si replied: "Go to the other side to do some things, but it is inconvenient to tell you the specifics." ”
Kiss continued, "I've been living in the Ice Lake for 10,000 years, and I've finally met a few of you cultivators. I have something I would like to ask you for, and I ask you to agree. ”
"Why did we promise you? You killed so many innocent people, and I was going to avenge them. Moreover, you are not my opponent. Yao Si said.
"I am indeed no match for you. But," suddenly, the owl's eyes were filled with hatred, and it said, "But those people are not innocent. There are thousands of creatures growing in the glacial lake, but how many fish did you just swim to the bottom of the lake and see?"
"Originally, this was a beautiful world, and I came here with my children to live a carefree life in order to escape the war in the Three Realms. At that time, I had been through the war, I was already seriously wounded, and I had used the last of my spiritual power to get here. ”
"But the greedy people keep coming here to fish, and the fish are getting fewer and fewer, but the people are coming here more and more. I didn't want to hurt them, but that day, my child was caught by them. By the time I found out, my child had already been killed by them. ”
"That's my madness, that's my only child, just an ignorant little fish, who was killed by these ruthless people. So, I broke the ice and let the people fall in, I ate them, and I snatched back the child's body. ”
"Since then, I've never allowed anyone to hurt anything here again. After telling the past, the owl kissed and let out a long sigh. These things, it has been holding in its heart for so long, and it is the first time it has confided in someone.
Things turned out to be like this, Mu Chen didn't know that the terrifying legend in the mouth of Ice and Snow City had such a tragic past. All along, they thought that the people in Ice City were victims, but they didn't expect that Kiss was the one who was hurt the most.
"Then what do you want us to do?" Mu Chen asked Xiang Kiss, he wanted to help Kiss Owl.
"I want you to save my child. Kiss replied.
After hearing this, Mu Chen looked at the owl kiss suspiciously, "Isn't your child already ......?"
"It must have figured it out. Yao Si said to Mu Chen.
Kiss nodded and said, "I have a way, but I need your help." ”
"Say, I'll try to help you if I can. "Just now, after listening to the story of the owl kiss, Yao Si knew that she was wrong to blame it, and decided to help it.
Kissing off the stone beneath her, she slammed her head into the stone, which was instantly smashed into pieces and scattered. The owl carefully shook off the pieces with the fish's tail, as if protecting something beneath the stone.
Wait until the rubble is cleared, revealing a small pothole. Kiss stopped in front of the pit, looked tenderly inside, and whispered, "This is my poor child." ”
