Seeing Hua Muling suddenly fall backwards, I rushed forward and hugged her. I stretched out my hand to explore the tip of her nose and found that although her breathing was weak, it was still there, so I felt relieved.
I looked at Hua Muling's beautiful and pale face, and I couldn't help but feel a very guilty and self-blaming feeling in my heart. I gently pushed the hair scattered on her face to one side with my hands, and then murmured: "I'm sorry, Hua Muling! Although I don't expect you to forgive me for doing this, I have no choice but to deal with you so harshly. After all, this matter is too complicated. Hey... I wish you would wake up. Then you can tell me everything you know."
After saying that, I picked up Hua Muling, found a relatively dry place nearby, and laid her flat on the ground. I found a stone wall and sat down against it.
I let out a long sigh, and felt intense pain all over my body, making me feel like I was about to fall apart.
I rubbed my sore and swollen neck, then slowly took off my already soaked top, and wring out the moisture from the clothes.
I sighed, wanting to smoke a cigarette to relieve my slight nervousness, but at this time the cigarette in my pocket was soaked in water. I smiled bitterly, clenched the cigarette case into a ball and threw it aside.
I have a habit, that is, when I am thinking about something, I always like to fiddle with something in my hands. Out of boredom, I took out the tactical knife that I had always carried with me from my pants pocket, and put it in the palm of my hand. He kept fiddling with it, and in his mind, it was like playing a movie, running through all the things that happened since yesterday in his mind.
"What is all this going on? Why did I suddenly become the key to this matter? Who is the person who has been hiding behind the scenes? What does he want to do?" I couldn't help thinking.
But people are often like this. The more you want to understand something, the less you can find the direction.
I leaned against the wall and closed my eyes and thought for a while, but everything seemed to be a mess with no clue.
Slowly, I fell asleep unconsciously.
I don’t know how long it took, but I suddenly felt someone pushing me gently.
I slowly opened my eyes and found that the person pushing me was Hua Muling. I was about to speak, but Hua Muling covered my mouth.
Then, Hua Muling put her head to my ear, lowered her voice and said, "Shh! Don't speak loudly. Look over there..."
Hua Muling pointed at the river water aside as he spoke, and when I looked in the direction of his finger, I couldn't help but take a breath.
I saw that at this time, there were countless green snails shining with dark green light in the cold and dark river water, and they were slowly crawling out of it.
As these green snails crawled forward, they struggled to take off their shells, revealing their bodies enough to see their internal organs.
Xiong Ming and I had suffered from these green snails before, so we naturally knew how powerful these guys were. Seeing such a green snail popping up at this time, we couldn't help but get goosebumps all over our bodies.
I glanced at Hua Muling, then took her and tiptoed to hide behind a half-meter-high fallen rock.
I asked Hua Muling in a low voice, "What exactly is going on?"
Hua Muling shook his head and said, "I don't know either! When I woke up, I vaguely heard a strange sound of bells, and then not long after, I saw these guys emerging from the water, and then started to move toward Go in one direction.”
I asked in a low voice in surprise: "Did you hear the bell? What bell?"
Hua Muling nodded and said in a low voice: "Yes, a very strange bell, like the kind of bell that rings when telling time in a temple, but it is very dull and makes people feel uncomfortable."
I asked in a low voice in surprise: "What are they going to do?"
Hua Muling shook her head and said in a very low voice: "I don't know either! It just feels like they are attracted to something."
I frowned and thought for a while, then raised my eyes to look at Hua Muling. I didn't speak immediately, I just stared at Hua Muling.
Hua Muling was obviously very uncomfortable by my sudden move and whispered: "Why are you looking at me like that? I don't have any flowers on my face!"
I looked at Hua Muling for a while, and then asked in a very low voice: "Hua Muling, I want to know, can I still trust you?"
Seeing my sudden question, Hua Muling was stunned for a moment, and then lowered her voice and said, "Hu Tian, I know what you are thinking. But things are not what you think. Maybe you don't believe it, but I started from the beginning. I never wanted to harm you."
I looked into Hua Muling's eyes. Her eyes were clear and firm. Although she didn't say much, no one was a three-year-old. I knew Hua Muling didn't lie, which made me feel a little more guilty about my previous actions.
I sighed softly, lowered my voice and whispered: "In that case, let's go!"
Hua Muling looked at me in surprise and asked, "Let's go? Where are we going?"
I pointed with my chin in the direction of the green snails and whispered: "Of course we are going to see where these guys are going! As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when something is abnormal. Wherever these big cockroaches go without hesitation, there must be something wrong."
Hua Muling frowned and whispered, "But..."
Before Hua Muling could finish her words, I interrupted her and said in a low voice: "It's nothing to worry about. If we want to find the Sifang Seal in our current situation, we probably have the only way to go to Huashan."
After saying that, without waiting for Hua Muling to retort, I ducked out from behind the stone and touched the direction of the green snails.
But I had just walked a few steps, and suddenly the river water not far away seemed to be boiling. Big bucket-like bubbles bubbled out. A few seconds later, a giant turtle with a size of five meters away appeared. He suddenly jumped out of the river.
This giant turtle is like the legendary beast Xuanwu from Zhenbei who came to the world. Except for the deep black back of the turtle, the rest of the body is an almost metallic dark brown. In addition, its jaws, round mouth, and There are single horns about the size of basketballs on the eyes and head. When it screams, it is like the muffled sound of a copper bell, which can make people's eardrums hurt.
What surprised me was that this giant turtle was somehow tied with seven or eight black iron chains as thick as an adult's thigh. The other ends of those iron chains went deep into the water, and I don't know where they lead.
The giant turtle suddenly emerged from the water, and the chains on its body were stretched straight in an instant. The giant turtle seemed to be disgusted with the chains that bound it, and it began to struggle angrily.
But those iron chains seemed to be getting tighter and tighter. After dozens of seconds, the iron chains actually tried to drag the giant turtle back to the bottom of the water.
The giant turtle began to roar angrily. The roar was like a bell, which made Hua Muling and I have splitting headaches, and our hearts felt heavy.
After the giant turtle roared a few times, it began to crawl toward the shore desperately, and with the sound of "clatter, clatter, clatter" being dragged by the iron chain, countless green snails were pulled by the giant turtle. It was crushed to the shore and turned into dark red residue.
Seeing this giant turtle going crazy and trying to rush ashore, Hua Muling and I couldn't help but be frightened. After exchanging colors, the two of us quickly hid back to the half-meter-high turtle before. Implement the back.
As the saying goes, it was a coincidence. Just when the two of us had just hid in the shadow behind the stone, the sound of scales scraping against the ground came from above the two of us.
Although the sound was not loud, it was the unique sound of reptiles moving. No matter who heard it at this time, it would inevitably send chills down their spines.
Hua Muling and I subconsciously looked above our heads when we heard the sound, but it didn't matter if we didn't look. We were really frightened when we saw a big white snake more than ten meters long, swimming slowly across the two of us. top of head.
This snake is as white as jade, with some red spots on its abdomen, barbs on the back of its neck, a pair of horns on its head as big as a truck, a pair of red eyes that look like blood, and a half-meter-long snake spitting out from time to time. .
"The snake has horns, the turtle cannot escape, the green dragon and the black dragon fight for the treasure of the earth?" I couldn't help but be surprised when I saw the big white snake in front of me.
Hua Muling patted me and asked in a low voice in surprise: "What is the snake's horns that the turtle cannot escape? And what is the Qinglong Xuanwu fighting for the earth treasure?"
I lowered my voice to a very low voice, and then whispered: "When I was very young, my grandfather told me that a snake with horns is not a snake, but a dragon. A dragon grows one meter every 50 years, and can grow up to It takes at least 500 years to reach ten meters. And every 500 years, the dragon has a chance to transform into a dragon through thunder. However, the thunder is the most powerful and yang thing. Even though the dragon has practiced for hundreds of years, it cannot withstand it, so the dragon will do everything possible to To search for the greatest treasure that exists in the world.”
After finishing speaking, I pointed to the big white snake that just swam above our heads, and whispered: "This big white snake has horns on its head. It is obvious that it has transformed into a dragon. It is probably here this time." Attracted by the sound of the bell you mentioned before, I came to look for the treasure hidden here, and after swallowing it, I turned it into an inner elixir to help me overcome calamities in the future."
Hua Muling looked at the big white dragon, then at the giant tortoise that looked like a basalt, and said, "Is that the same purpose compared to the giant tortoise? And those green snails are probably attracted by that thing as well." That's why he climbed over there so desperately."
I nodded and said: "That's right! If my estimate is not bad, that baby shouldn't appear often. That's why these guys have such a big reaction. One is the Supreme Xuanwu in the north, and the other is Qinglong, the overlord in the east. , I really don’t know what good object can attract these two great gods. Grandma, I also want to see what it is?"
After saying that, I quietly stood up and pressed against the wall and started to move forward little by little.
Hua Muling asked in surprise from behind me: "Do you really want to join in the fun?"
I glanced at Hua Muling and said, "Go and see, maybe there is still a way to survive. If you stay here, don't you think that once these two guys fight, we will be like those green snails here. Became cannon fodder?"
