Chapter 224: Water Accumulation
"Thank you for your help, old man is grateful!" Old man Qin thanked immediately.
"No, you are too kind!" Duan Qing said modestly.
Including Duan Qing, a group of more than a dozen people hurried to the forest outside the town.
Xiaofei led the way in front, and after walking for about two incense sticks, they came to a small path in the mountains.
"It's... here!" Xiaofei pointed to a huge pit several feet in front of him and stuttered. Although there were more than a dozen people behind him, he still couldn't suppress the fear in his heart!
Everyone followed Xiaofei's pointing and walked closer, looking into the huge pit.
At this time, there was half a pit of turbid water in the huge pit, so that everyone could not see what was at the bottom of the pit!
"Ah! There was no water before! Xiaofei was surprised.
"Stinky boy, are you deceiving us? There is no monster here! "Seeing this situation, some people couldn't help but question Xiao Fei.
"No, it was here before, and the monster killed Xiao Liu in the pit..." Xiao Fei explained anxiously.
Duan Qing didn't say anything, looking at the turbid water in the giant pit, and then looked up at the sky, frowning slightly.
The color of the soil is still very new, and it can be confirmed that it is indeed a pit that has just collapsed not long ago, but it hasn't rained, where does the water in the pit come from?
If it seeps out from the soil, it shouldn't be this turbid color! Is it really as Xiao Fei said, that there is a monster at work?
He closed his eyes and felt it carefully, and didn't feel any abnormal breath nearby.
"Hey! What is that!" At this time, someone pointed at something inserted in the wall of the giant pit and said in surprise.
Everyone looked at the thing together. From the exposed part, it looked like a hatchet.
The middle-aged man immediately jumped into the pit, pulled the thing out from the wall of the pit, held it in his hand and trembled all over, muttering: "It's Xiao Liu's hatchet! It's Xiaoliu's hatchet!"
Old Qin's dry face couldn't help but twitch, his eyes were a little wet, and he sighed.
"Xiaoliuzi!"
After saying this, he shook violently and was a little unstable.
The person standing next to Old Qin quickly reached out to support him, so that he didn't fall.
Everyone present was silent. It seemed that what Xiaofei said was not completely nonsense. At least it was almost certain that Xiaoliu had been here.
"Xiaoliuzi, where are you!" The middle-aged man stared at the hatchet for a long time, and finally couldn't help but burst into tears. He then rushed into the water frantically. After a few splashes, he made the water in the huge pit even more turbid.
The middle-aged man didn't take a few steps in the water, and suddenly stumbled, stepped on the air, and drowned in the water.
"Uncle Qin!"
"Li Jun! "
...
There was a cry of surprise near the huge pit, and someone immediately rushed into the pit.
Duan Qing was the fastest, and he jumped into the huge pit with one leap, and his feet stepped lightly on the water surface. When the water surface stopped, he bent down and reached out to pick up the middle-aged man in the water, turned around and stepped heavily on the water surface, and jumped out of the huge pit with the middle-aged man, landing in front of everyone.
The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, and before everyone could react, the middle-aged man was rescued, which made everyone stunned.
"Master!" Xiao Fei looked at Duan Qing with his eyes wide open and muttered to himself.
"Thank you for your righteousness and saving my son!" Old man Qin was so excited that he almost knelt down to Duan Qing on the spot and thanked him profusely.
"Old man, there is no need to do this, it's just a small effort!" Duan Qing responded modestly.
"Hero, you are so good at martial arts, you must get rid of the monster and avenge Xiaoliu! "Xiao Fei pleaded with Duan Qing at this time, his face full of hope!
"Yes, the hero is a rare talent, don't let the monster go, and get rid of the harm for the people of Zhengdong Town!" Someone in the crowd immediately echoed, obviously believing Xiao Fei's words at this time, and believed that the monster did exist.
Duan Qing was a little helpless. In Xiaonan Realm, it is an unwritten rule that cultivators do not reveal themselves in front of mortals. He just used only physical strength to avoid trouble, and did not use any spiritual power.
Unexpectedly, everyone Or did they mistake him for some hero and pin their hopes on him!
In fact, if there really were monsters or beasts, he wouldn't mind getting rid of them within his strength.
But he had felt before that there was nothing unusual here, and there should be no monsters. If there were no monsters, where could he go to get rid of the harm!
Did he really have to clear out all the beasts in the mountains one by one and find the one that ate Xiaoliu! He didn't have the time!
Thinking of this, he said loudly to everyone: "Please listen to me!"
Everyone fell silent after hearing this, and looked at Duan Qing.
"In fact, in my opinion..."
Duan Qing was silent suddenly after saying a few words, frowned, and looked back at the huge pit.
At this time, the accumulated water in the huge pit began to emit bubbles. At first, there were only a few bubbles, and then more and more bubbles, and half of the pit water looked almost like boiling!
"Go!!! "Duan Qing's expression suddenly changed, and he turned around and shouted to everyone.
Everyone seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and with Duan Qing's serious expression, they began to retreat one by one, but their speed was relatively slow. Some even looked back every few steps, as if they were curious about what happened!
But there were three people who still stopped at the edge of the giant pit and refused to leave. They were Old Man Qin and his son, and Xiao Fei.
It can be seen that the three of them were a little scared, but they just stared at the pit, as if they were possessed!
"What are you still standing there for? Go!" Duan Qing couldn't stand it anymore and yelled at the three of them.
Xiao Fei was shaken by what he heard and wanted to leave, but seeing that Grandpa Qin and Uncle Qin were unmoved, he gritted his teeth and continued to stay by the giant pit.
Duan Qing was anxious and wanted to kick the three of them away!
"If you don't leave, I'll leave!" Feeling that the atmosphere was getting more and more wrong, Duan Qing couldn't help but say something cruel.
As soon as Duan Qing said this, Old Man Qin also began to waver and wanted to leave. He comforted the middle-aged man, "Lijun, let's go! Don't make trouble for my friend!"
The bitter tears of the middle-aged man Qin Lijun fell silently from the corners of his eyes, dripping down his face to the ground. He sighed deeply and finally compromised. He left reluctantly under the pull of Xiao Fei and Old Man Qin.
At this moment, a loud bang was heard in the water of the giant pit, and a huge meat tentacle suddenly broke out of the water, bypassing Duan Qing who was closest to the giant pit, and went directly to Old Man Qin and the other two.
"How dare you, beast!" Duan Qing shouted, raised his sword and chopped at the flesh tentacle.
Before the flesh tentacle touched Old Man Qin and the other two, Duan Qing chopped it into two pieces with his sword. The remaining half of the tentacle swung around in pain and smashed into various places in the huge pit. For a moment, soil and rocks flew everywhere, and the whole place was in chaos.
