Chapter 42: Strange
Duan Qing rubbed his arms and noticed that the idiot had been staring at the water hole. He also turned sideways and looked at the water hole. It was still as usual, with only some ripples caused by the underwater undercurrent.
Huh? No, Duan Qing suddenly felt something was wrong!
He has stayed in this cave for a long time, and has listened to the sound of water waves in this water cave countless times. It has always been relatively regular, one wave after another, with occasional intervals in between. Generally speaking, the rhythm is relatively slow.
But just now he heard the sound of several waves in a row, which was completely different from the usual sound of waves!
There is no wind without waves, and there must be monsters when something goes wrong. What can cause changes in the fluctuations of the water waves is either a change in the undercurrent below. . . There is something else under the water that causes the water waves to change.
Combined with the idiot's abnormal behavior, Duan Qing is more inclined to the latter. Is there something under the water that scares the idiot?
He glanced at Idiot out of the corner of his eye. Idiot was still staring at the water hole and shivering, not daring to move.
What's under the water?
Judging from Duan Qing's knowledge, he has only seen fish, shrimps, crabs and the like in the water, but these ordinary things should not scare an idiot like this!
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore, no matter what is there, it’s better to evacuate first and avoid touching things you don’t understand. Thinking of the painful lessons of his previous reckless behavior, Duan Qing decided to leave the cave first.
After glancing at the things on the ground, I didn't want the original stone, but the spiritual spring water had to be taken away.
At this time, the atmosphere in the cave seemed to have solidified, and fear seemed to be contagious. The idiot's appearance made Duan Qing's fear begin to grow in his heart. Countless scary things flashed through his mind instantly, such as water snakes and water ghosts. . . !
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Duan Qing bowed and prepared to take away the spiritual spring water on the ground, and then immediately stepped away.
But suddenly, as Duan Qing moved, there was a snap in the water hole, causing water splashes to fly in all directions, and a white shadow was shot towards him like an arrow from a string.
Duan Qing was so shocked that he had no time to collect the spiritual spring water on the ground and hurriedly rolled to the side. The white figure almost wiped his butt and shot it!
After dodging, Duan Qing immediately looked in the direction where the white shadow was flying, and saw a snake-like thing entrenched at the entrance of the cave, raising its lower body to face him.
The strange snake is all white, with arms as thick as about a foot in length. The scales on its body shine under the moonstone. It is said to be a snake, but it has two fins on both sides of its head and no eyes. A black line runs from the snake's head on its back. It spread almost to the snake's tail, taking up most of the body.
The most strange thing is that there is a big bump on his head, and Duan Qing feels that the big bump is not pleasing to the eye, as if there is something inside that is about to burst out of his body.
Although the strange snake had no eyes, it was leaning up and facing Duan Qing, which made his scalp numb. With the appearance of the strange snake, the cave seemed to have entered a cold winter.
It's not good, it's very bad. Duan Qing's head is spinning rapidly, thinking about how to deal with it.
This thing is not a good stubble at first glance, and it blocked the entrance of the cave as soon as it came up! I don’t know if it was intentional or not! But regardless of whether it was intentional or not, the current situation is very difficult.
He almost didn't dodge the attack from the thing that broke out of the water just now. It is conceivable that its speed on the ground should be faster.
Before Duan Qing could think of a way to deal with it, he saw the strange snake shrinking its body first, and then shot towards Duan Qing with an astonishing speed.
There was no time to think about it, so he could only bite the bullet. Duan Qing took out the flying sword from his storage bag as quickly as possible, and hurriedly slashed at the white shadow that was approaching him.
The flying sword that had always been invincible in the past was slashing at the strange snake, but it had no effect at all.
With the sound of gold and iron intersecting, Duan Qing felt a huge force coming from his hand, followed by a biting chill. The flying sword immediately came out of his hand. With a "bang", he flew backwards and broke the fallen sword. A milkstone hung down, and then fell heavily to the ground.
As soon as Duan Qing got up, he felt a fishy taste in his throat and couldn't help but spray out a mouthful of blood. The jaw of the hand holding the sword was also cracked and turned purple from the cold. .
With this contact, Duan Qing understood that this strange snake was definitely not something he could compete with now. Looking at the strange snake, Duan Qing felt a little desperate and unwilling. Could it be that he was going to die from this today?
He has just embarked on the path of spiritual practice, and the precious mysterious metal in his hand has not yet worked. He has not yet returned to Xiao'an City to report to his parents that they are safe. He has not yet confirmed whether Uncle Wang and the others are alive or dead. There are too many things that have not yet happened. Do it, how can I die from the mouth of a beast like you today!
Duan Qing's heart suddenly ignited with endless fighting spirit, and he yelled at the strange snake.
"Come on, you beast, it's not that easy to kill me!"
After speaking, he picked up the gravel on the ground and threw it one by one at the strange snake. The snake ignored the thrown gravel and let it hit its body without causing any harm.
Suddenly, the strange snake pounced in the air, but it did not come towards Duan Qing, but towards the thing Duan Qing threw. The strange snake opened its mouth and bit the thing thrown by Duan Qing. , turned out to be a rough stone!
After landing, the strange snake raised its head and heard a "dong" sound, and the original stone was swallowed by the strange snake.
Duan Qing was stunned when he saw the strange snake swallowing the things he threw. He looked down and saw some rough stones scattered at his feet. It turned out that he had just made an angry move, grabbed the things and threw them at the strange snake, but I accidentally smashed a rough stone over.
Immediately, Duan Qing's heart moved, and he immediately grabbed another rough stone and threw it towards the strange snake.
As expected, the strange snake moved, caught the original stone like lightning, swallowed it, and then attacked Duan Qing with its head.
Duan Qing was delighted. It seemed that the strange snake was very sensitive to rough stones. Thinking of this, he grabbed another rough stone and threw it at the strange snake. While the strange snake was catching it, he collected several more rough stones on the ground. in hand.
After he had collected the rough stones, the strange snake had already swallowed the last one and was about to shoot it at Duan Qing. Without saying a word, he threw another rough stone and then immediately ran towards the entrance of the cave while searching for the idiot. figure.
I saw that the fool had sneaked to the entrance of the cave at this time and was about to sneak out.
"This unfaithful guy!"
Duan Qing cursed secretly, this guy is really good at running away. At the same time, he was a little lucky. Fortunately, the idiot ran away quickly. Otherwise, he would have bought time with a few rough stones in his hand and would have taken the idiot with him. There is really no point in running away from him.
Because he had just been knocked away by the strange snake, Duan Qing's position was close to the depths of the cave and far from the entrance, while the strange snake was near the water hole in the middle.
After throwing three rough stones in succession to lure the strange snake away a little, Duan Qing bypassed the water hole and ran towards the entrance of the cave.
Looking at his hand, he saw that there were still three rough stones, which should be enough for him to run to the entrance of the cave. After throwing two more rough stones at the strange snake, Duan Qing had already arrived at the entrance of the cave and was about to bend through the entrance. At the same time, he turned around and threw them out in his hand. The last rough stone.
But when the strange snake faced the last rough stone thrown by Duan Qing, it suddenly turned a blind eye. After swallowing the last rough stone, it fiercely shot towards Duan Qing.
Duan Qing was shocked when he saw this, why did this beast suddenly become smarter!
He couldn't allow him to think too much. The strange snake was so fast that it would be too late to pass through the cave. There was nothing he could do to resist. The flying sword had just been knocked away by the strange snake and had already disappeared.
In the flash of lightning, Duan Qing suddenly thought of something. Seeing that the strange snake was already in front of him, he took out an object from his bag and held it in front of his chest.
It was the black pot he brought out of Xiao'an City. He kept this pot in his storage bag and did not want to throw it away.
