Chapter 1: The Ancient Beasts
In the Shengbao Kingdom of Dongsheng Shenzhou, there is a Fuling Mountain, where flowers bloom all year round, and there are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating, and the fairy atmosphere is lingering.
In the early morning of Fuling Mountain, the sun is shining, the air is fresh, the breeze is light, the wind carries a faint fragrance of flowers, the birds are singing happily, and a middle-aged couple happily came to the mountain to chop wood.
Not long after chopping, suddenly a call for help came from a distance.
"Help!"
"Help!"
“......”
When they heard the shouting, the couple was startled, because they often go to Fuling Mountain to cut wood, and the situation in the mountain is so clear that it is very safe.
Except for a few squirrels, rabbits and a few small animals, there are no other large animals in the mountains, let alone fierce beasts such as tigers and lions.
The wife looked around carefully, but did not find a single figure, and said in horror: "Xianggong, is there someone who is committing murder in this barren mountain and forest?"
The husband gently patted his wife's shoulder: "Don't be afraid, lady, in broad daylight, who has the courage to commit murder here." ”
Although the couple was a little scared, they decided to go and see what was going on, and quickly ran to the hillside to look in the direction of the shouting, and the scene in front of them immediately frightened the two of them.
I saw a flame chasing a girl halfway up the mountainside, and she ran desperately in front of her, while the flame behind her ran very fast.
The distance between the flames and her is getting smaller and smaller, and it is only a matter of time before she is chased, and his wife is frightened: "Xianggong, how can this flame still chase people?"
"Could it be that some kind of demon and monster have changed?"
The husband shook his head: "I don't know what it is!"
When the couple looked closely, they were stunned, it turned out that this flame was a monster, very tall, and the flame on its body burned very vigorously.
The couple wondered what a strange thing it was, where did the flame come from? Could it have been lit by a man? Why did it chase this girl?
There was a voice in both of the couple's hearts, they must save this girl, and they must not let this flaming monster eat her.
Roar!
I saw this flaming monster howling as it chased after her, and it was about to chase her.
At this moment, the husband hurriedly said: "In broad daylight, no matter what kind of monster it is, it is important to save people first." ”
"Girl, come to us!"
"Girl, come to us!"
“......”
I saw the girl rushing over, and when she ran closer, the couple saw clearly that she was the daughter of Wang Yuanwai.
"Uncle Wu, help!"
"Uncle Wu, help!"
“......”
Wang Ziyan shouted in horror, she thought that she was about to be eaten alive by this flaming monster, what a blessing!
She saw a glimmer of hope from her fright, and Uncle Wu and his wife were well-informed and would definitely find a way to save her.
Seeing that this flaming monster was getting closer and closer, Uncle Wu was very anxious, if the purple smoke girl was caught by it, she would definitely die.
At this critical moment, Uncle Wu hurriedly said to his wife: "Quickly bring the woodcutter." ”
Uncle Wu felt that the only way now was to run away first, and then find a very hidden place to hide quickly, and then see what this flaming monster was capable of, and finally act when he saw the opportunity, and he must not fight with it.
"Run!"
"Run!"
“......”
Uncle Wu shouted anxiously, he picked up a stick in his hand, and as he ran rapidly, he asked, "Purple Smoke Girl, why does this monster keep chasing you? The flame on its body can't be lit by you, right?"
Uncle Wu just wanted to make sure, because he had never seen a monster with flames on his body.
If the flames on this monster weren't lit by the Purple Smoke Maiden, why did they keep chasing her so violently?
Wang Ziyan said angrily: "I don't know either, Uncle Wu, you are still in the mood to joke with me, I don't know where this monster came from." ”
"Even if you lend me ten thousand guts, I won't dare provoke this vicious monster, let alone set the hair off its body on fire. ”
At this time, Uncle Wu was very anxious, this monster chased the purple smoke girl just to eat her, if the three of them couldn't leave here in time, their lives would be in danger.
Soon, the three of them hurried through the woods to a place where the birds were singing, and then quickly climbed to the top of a tall rock.
I saw that there was soil on the boulder and a lot of flowers growing on it, so the three of them quickly hid among the flowers.
Roar!
At this moment, the flowers and plants on both sides of the road were constantly shaking, and in an instant, a monster with flames appeared in front of the three of them.
The flames on its body burned extremely vigorously, and it had many horns on its head, a very large body, two round eyes, a large mouth, four strong legs, and a thick tail.
It's terrifying.
It stood motionless and looked around, its nose sniffing incessantly on the ground, searching for the breath of the three of them.
Wang Ziyan trembled with fright, grabbed Aunt Wu's hand tightly, and didn't even dare to raise her head to look at the terrible monster in front of her, for fear of being discovered by it.
Uncle Wu couldn't think of a good way for a while, so he had to comfort him in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, Miss Ziyan, I and your Aunt Wu will protect you." ”
In the face of this sudden danger, Wang Ziyan was unexpected, and she was even more caught off guard, if she hadn't discovered it in time just now, she would have been eaten by this flaming monster.
Since she was a child, her parents treated her like a princess, and there were several maids around her, and there were many guards to protect her safety all the way.
This time, she sneaked out to play and encountered this terrible monster.
When she was on the line of life and death, she ran desperately, and the rest of her life was undecided, and her heart was beating in shock, and she wanted to cry inexplicably.
She was homesick, she wanted to go back, she wanted to go back now, immediately, without delay, and her heart was like an arrow.
This flaming monster had been sniffing the breath of the three of them around the big stone, and Aunt Wu trembled: "Xianggong, what now?" ”
"Hurry up and think of a way, don't let it be found, if it is found, the three of us will die. ”
Uncle Wu lowered his voice: "What are you panicking about, the birds here are singing and the flowers are fragrant, even if its nose and ears are very smart, it will be difficult to find the three of us for a while." ”
"We must be calm, and don't mess with ourselves, or we will really be discovered by it. ”
Uncle Wu secretly looked around, feeling happy and sad for a while.
Happily, the boulder is very tall, and there are many flowers on it as cover, and it will be difficult for this monster to find the three of them for the time being.
It's sad that there is only one way to escape on such a high boulder, and if it takes a long time, it will be discovered.
Uncle Wu took a closer look through the gap in the flowers, and saw that this monster with flames had many horns on its head, and the flames on its body burned extremely vigorously.
Uncle Wu pondered for a moment, and said in horror: "Could it be the legendary [Red Flame Octagonal Beast]!"
Aunt Wu was so frightened that she opened her mouth wide: "Is the [Red Flame Octagonal] powerful?"
Although Wang Ziyan was very scared, under the effect of curiosity, he slowly raised his head and opened his eyes carefully.
She stared at the horns on the monster's head from the gap in the flowers, counted them carefully, and said in horror: "Uncle Wu, it really has eight horns on its head. ”
Ay!
Uncle Wu sighed lightly: "This time the three of us are really dead, the [Red Flame Octagonal Beast] is extremely fierce, and it is said that it can also breathe flames from its mouth." ”
In fact, when Uncle Wu was very young, he heard an old man in the village talk about this ancient beast, and it is said that as long as the people and animals encountered by it will definitely die.
Even tigers and lions are as weak as a mouse in front of it.
Uncle Wu was very anxious in his heart, and he didn't know what to do for a while, the three of them were not the opponents of the [Red Flame Octagonal Beast] at all, if they were found by it, they would definitely die.
"Uncle Wu, are we really going to die here?" asked Wang Ziyan tremblingly.
Wang Ziyan was very sad in her heart, she didn't want to die, and she was reluctant to love her parents, because she hadn't honored them properly!
When a person is struggling on the edge of life and death, she suddenly understands a lot of life truths, the wrong things she has done before and the teachings of her parents.
At this moment, she really regretted it.
Uncle Wu couldn't think of a good way for a while, so he had to continue to comfort: "Don't be afraid, Miss Ziyan! Even if I and your Aunt Wu fight hard, I have to protect you." ”
"Don't worry!"
Wang Ziyan said excitedly: "I'm so happy to meet my uncle and aunt here, I'm not afraid of death, and I don't want you to sacrifice for me." ”
Uncle Wu thinks that Miss Ziyan is not only beautiful and captivating, but also very kind-hearted, which is really rare!
At this time, Uncle Wu was very anxious, because the [Red Flame Octagonal Beast] had been staying here and not leaving, and he really couldn't think of a good way for a while.
The only way now was to wait for it to leave here before the three of them had a chance to escape.
Roar!
At this moment, I saw that the [Red Flame Octagonal Beast] suddenly shouted, and then slowly walked towards the big stone, and the three of them immediately stopped talking, and they didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of being discovered by it.
I saw it sniffing carefully by the boulder.
Aunt Wu prayed silently in her heart: "I hope the Bodhisattva can bless the three of us, don't be discovered by it." ”
[Red Flame Octagonal Beast] suddenly thought, I saw the three of them running here just now, why did they suddenly disappear, human flesh is so delicious, plus I am very hungry now, I must find the three of them.
Due to the strong fragrance of flowers and herbs all around the boulder, the [Red Flame Octagonal Beast] sniffed carefully on the side of the boulder for a long time, but did not smell the breath of the three of them, so he left very unwillingly.
Seeing the [Red Flame Octagonal] leave, the three of them let out a long sigh of relief, and their hanging hearts finally let go.
[Red Flame Octagonal] thought as he walked, it was really strange, could it be that the three of them had really escaped? There had never been anyone who could escape under his nose, no, he must still be hiding around here.
The Red Flame Octagonal Beast suddenly stopped, turned around and found it again, this time, it directly began to climb on top of the boulder.
The three of them were suddenly stupefied.
Uncle Wu was very anxious, as long as it climbed to the top of the big rock, it would find the three of them, and when the time came, there would be no chance to escape at all, and it could only be eaten alive. ”
"Xianggong, you have to think of a way, or the three of us will die in Huangquan. Aunt Wu was so frightened that she even changed her voice.
