Between mountains and seas

Chapter 165

According to the "Shan Hai Jing", Xiang Liu is a water-type beast, but it is also poisonous. It is not known whether it mutated later or evolved with poison in its body.In short, where it is located, the water is either bitter or spicy, the five grains cannot grow, and humans and animals cannot drink it. It is a big killer that pollutes the environment.

But what puzzled Shao Jingxing was that "Shan Hai Jing" also said that Xiang Liu was a courtier of Gonggong!

A courtier is a subordinate who needs to be used.Okay, even if Xiangliu's "nine-headed human face" can barely be regarded as an individual, how dare Gonggong use such a pollution maker?Is it just to show that he has lethality, regardless of environmental pollution?

Speaking of which, Gonggong has always had a bad impression on him, but in fact, Gonggong is also a descendant of Emperor Yan, and he can be the leader of a clan, and he can also fight against wise masters like Shaohao and Zhuanxu, so it can be seen that he is by no means a mediocrity.The criticism of later generations is mainly because he knocked down Buzhou Mountain and caused a great flood. It does not mean that he is really a tyrannical king who is nothing but violent.

Among other things, there are quite a few supernatural beings from the Gonggong clan. If Gonggong is really so crotch, his own people may turn against him, and they can follow him to Mount Buzhou?

Even if we don’t talk about the Gonggong family, but only say that there are still Gonggong sects, people like He Feng can accept the idea of ​​Gonggong, is it because he is a tyrant?

So Shao Jingxing always felt that Gonggong's employment of people was a bit puzzling, but according to Ji Xiaojiu, what is needed in war is combat power. Drought is a disaster, it's worse than Xiangliu's, and in the end, the female charm has to be sealed, which is a bit suspicious of killing a donkey.

Wait, did he go too far again?Shouldn't we deal with the snakes in front of us first?

When Xiangliu was punished, his blood was still poisoned, so that he had to build a platform to suppress it, and he had to raise snakes—wait a minute, this doesn’t seem right, it’s understandable to build a platform to suppress it, probably using a talisman array to suppress it. Cleanse these toxins, just like sewage treatment.But why keep a snake?Could it be that these snakes are employees of the treatment plant?

Shao Jingxing carefully looked at these snakes.This snake is recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" too simply, there is only one sentence: There is a snake in the corner, the color of a tiger.

Then it's gone.

Such records are generally the treatment of small minions—no, it should be the treatment of ordinary beasts, which are so featureless that they can only write about the stripes on their bodies, not even a high-end "human face", and more Needless to say, there is no prestige ability.

Look at Xiangliu, how detailed the description is, when he is alive, he is majestic, and when he is dead, he will bring disaster to one side. You can tell at a glance that it is a very powerful strange beast!

However, if Xiang Liu was so powerful that he needed to be suppressed and guarded even after death, would Dayu just send a young man here?Anyway, Shao Jingxing didn't believe it.

So there must be something special about this snake, maybe it is a hidden master.If this is the case, then there are eight snakes here...

Shao Jingxing felt hairy in his heart.He is afraid of snakes!Even though his guts weren't what they used to be, the fear of the cold-blooded creature was still as deep as it had been when he faced the hooked snake.

But the current situation does not allow him to retreat - the swamp is in front of him, and he has to go to find Huo Qing.Besides, now that he is a powerful supernatural being, I am afraid that Shexuan is not too lost—before he finished thinking, there was another crackling sound from behind the tenth platform, and more snakes crawled out.

In a blink of an eye, the ground seemed to be covered with a tiger-skin blanket, with more than 20 snakes lined up, the big ones were as strong as an adult's arm and more than two meters long; the small ones were as thick as a wrist, and looked quite How spectacular!

However, Shao Jingxing's magnificence turned into a thriller. Even though he was thinking about going to Huo Qing, he couldn't help taking two steps—his foot got stuck in the mud again; he was about to pull his foot out when suddenly I felt my feet vibrating slightly.

Could it be an earthquake?Only after Shao Jingxing changed his mind did he realize that the vibration seemed to be coming from the center of the swamp, and the wet mud was slightly rippled, but the other foot on the dry ground could hardly feel it. shock.

The difference is only one step, but the difference is so obvious. This must not be a natural change such as an earthquake, but a change in the depths of the swamp. Because there is a talisman array to isolate it, the vibration is limited to the swamp and will not affect the normal ground. !

As soon as he wanted to understand this truth, Shao Jingxing immediately ran wildly.Good guy, think about what kind of place this is, the place where Xiangliu was killed, and the emperors came to suppress it!What a good thing, it takes so many high-level abilities to suppress it?

But the swamp at this moment was completely different from before, the wet and soft mud seemed to be alive, crawling up his ankles automatically, trying to drag him into the swamp forcefully.

The tiger-striped snakes all over the ground raised their upper bodies in unison, and the bright red snake letters quickly swallowed and uttered threatening sounds against the undulating ground of the swamp, one after another, forming a sound.

Can these snakes deter things in the swamp?While thinking wildly, Shao Jingxing pulled out his leg abruptly.Fortunately, he didn't sink too deep, and he even rescued his shoes. He was planning to walk 36 times, when he felt a gust of wind, and the surrounding scenery suddenly appeared slightly doubled and distorted.

This seems to be a space——Shao ​​Jingxing hadn't finished thinking about it when two people suddenly appeared in midair, fell into the middle of the swamp with two thud thumps.

Shao Jingxing recognized them at a glance, they were Su Zheng and Du Weiping!

The two of them didn't seem to be injured except for their disheveled faces, but they fell from a bad place, already deep in the swamp, and the slightly fluctuating wet mud seemed like flies seeing blood, and immediately killed them. Surrounded.

As soon as Du Weiping landed, he felt something was wrong.He has an earth ability, and is more sensitive to the soil. He immediately found that these living creatures-like wet mud wanted to wrap the two of them, and quickly mobilized his ability to control the soil around him.

This counter-accusation is even more wrong-this swamp contains water in the mud, he can control the soil, but the water contained in the soil acts on its own as if it has self-awareness, and even engulfs the soil in turn, causing his soil system to be different. It is very difficult to be able to display it.

This proves that the water is manipulated by another force!Moreover, he could feel that this force was distributed so widely that it seemed that the entire swamp was under its control—this swamp was not small.

As soon as he changed his mind, Du Weiping knew it was not good.While struggling with that force to control the wet mud, he kept urging Su Zheng: "Get out of here!"

Su just fell and became dizzy.The two of them were inexplicably removed outside Zhongshan, and they came to have a blind date with Taotie for two hours.This gluttonous meal is really worthy of being one of the four evils in ancient times. Not to mention the rough skin and thick flesh, the most weird thing is that it can devour the ability!The dirt that Du Weiping gathered was swallowed by it, and even the supernatural powers in it were absorbed, but the soil was discharged, like a supernatural filter.

This thing is like a hob with a copper pea that can't be beaten to death, and it can also have some blood recovery function. Both Du Weiping and Su Zheng were exhausted by it.Fortunately, it will take some time for the glutton to swallow and absorb, and apart from that big mouth that can swallow everything, it has no other means of killing.So Du Weiping stuffed a steady stream of dirt into the Taotie's mouth, and Su Zheng seized the time to kill it while it was devouring it.

Not to mention, the habit of gluttony is really - being beaten up by Su Zheng, still reluctant to part with the "food" that has already been put into his mouth, and still swallowing hard... It really lives up to what is said in "Lu Shi Chunqiu" "It hurts one's own body", you have to risk your life to eat it!

Just when the two of them had severely injured Taotie, their abilities would also be exhausted, and they were fighting to see who could last longer, suddenly the space changed again, and Taotie was dragged into the void as if locked by an invisible chain Among them, the two of them were thrown beside a stream in a whirl, and the downstream of the stream was an artificial lake, and there were still pedal boats made of little yellow ducks parked beside the lake—that was the real world !

You only need to walk 100 meters down the stream to go home, but Cun Weiping and Su Zheng didn't even think about it, they turned around and ran back—their companions didn't know whether they were alive or dead!

But this change in space was too subtle. He obviously felt that he was going in the right direction, but the more he walked, the more he walked in the wrong direction. He actually came to a mountain stream, and the explosive cloth flew down, separating the two sides.

It would be too far to take a detour, so the two simply waded through the water, but halfway there, the water volume of the waterfall suddenly increased, like a stormy sea, they rushed straight down and fell into the swamp!

At this moment, the abilities of both of them were exhausted, and it was very difficult for Du Weiping to control the wet mud, so he could only tell Su Zheng to leave quickly.Otherwise, if something else comes out, it won't be able to deal with it.

However, life is always afraid of what will happen. Su Zheng just got up when he felt his feet move. The mud suddenly arched, and he was thrown directly, and half of his body was sunk in the wet mud.

This time, Su Zheng was already five or six meters away from Du Weiping, out of his control, the wet mud immediately sucked him tightly like a living thing, and even crawled on him.

Su Zheng bent his arm, and pierced through three strands of wet mud with a triangular thorn before he could stand up.But as soon as he got up, he heard Du Weiping yelling: "Get out of the way!" From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at it, and saw that the arched dirt hill just opened its huge mouth and bit him down——what is there? Xiaoqiu, it was clearly a head protruding from the swamp!

This place is wet and slippery, the wet mud not only can't take advantage of it, but also drags people down. Su Zheng couldn't dodge it at all, and when he stretched his heart, the three-edged thorn suddenly stretched to more than one meter, and he threw his body into a ball , was swallowed by that mouth.

Du Weiping was taken aback, and was about to rush over, when he saw the closed mouth suddenly opened again, with a bang, Su Zheng was rushed out by a murky stream of water, and there was still diluted blood on the tip of the triangular thorn.

Su Zheng angered the monster all of a sudden, with a bang, his head was raised by more than two meters, and he made a teeth-piercing hissing sound.Following the sound, the mud and water in the swamp churned, and several similar heads popped out, all with long necks, as if there were many plesiosaurs hidden in the mud.

But if you look closely, you can see that the heads are turned outward at different angles, but the necks are all facing the same direction, as if in the depths of the swamp, these necks protruded from one place.

Shao Jingxing suddenly understood what it was - it wasn't a plesiosaur, it was Xiang Liu!It is the nine-headed snake body, Xiangliu who was once a subordinate of Gonggong!

Wait, wasn't Xiang Liu killed?Isn't it because the blood after death will still pollute the ground, that's why ponds are created and towers are built to suppress it?The co-authorship is all fake?Xiang Liu wasn't dead at all, and was still hiding in this swamp?

Shao Jingxing thought in his heart, but before he had time to think, he threw a fireball over.

Xiangliu is not only a water system, but also poisonous. Su Zheng used the elongated triangular thorn to pierce Xiangliu's palate just now, and escaped being swallowed, but suffered a blow from the water.

This stream of water spurted out from Xiangliu's mouth, like a heavy hammer directly hitting him. If it weren't for Su Zheng's good health, and the strengthening of metal-type supernatural beings was recognized as first-rate, he might have broken several ribs.Moreover, the water is bitter and spicy, and it is hot when it touches the skin, not to mention the feeling of being poured into the nasal cavity.

Su Zheng choked, and felt his lungs were on fire, and his head began to feel dizzy, which clearly showed signs of poisoning!He tried his best not to lose consciousness, and was about to use the triangular thorn to cut off the strands of wet mud crawling on his body, when he suddenly felt a burst of scorching heat, and when he looked up, he saw a fireball explode in front of him.

The fireball came so suddenly, Su Zheng was so weak that he couldn't dodge it, he only felt his face was hot, and a bunch of hair on his forehead was burnt, he was really ashamed.However, the smell of smoke and fire rushed into the imperial cavity stickily, the stinging pain from being burned by the poisonous water just now disappeared suddenly, and even the mind became much clearer.Immediately afterwards he heard Shao Jingxing shouting: "Run this way!"

The whole swamp fluctuated as if it was alive, five of Xiang Liu's heads stuck out, except for the injured one who was shaking his head violently, the other four all turned to Su Zheng.

It is really creepy to have a human face on the snake's head, especially when the mouth is opened, it still maintains the characteristics of a snake. A long tongue like a dead ghost, with a forked tip like a snake... The effect is really hard to describe in words.

Fortunately, both Du Weiping and Su Zheng were people who had seen the "world". Even though Xiang Liu had a ferocious face, he did not scare the frontline staff of the Special Affairs Department.Du Weiping stomped hard, and a dry and hard dirt path squeezed away the muddy water, extending to the edge of the swamp; while Su Zheng opened a metal shield casually, blocking the water flow from a head, protecting Du Weiping and rushing along the path.

Shao Jingxing stood by the edge of the swamp, with a ball of fire in his hands, ready to throw it over to attract Xiang Liu's attention.Obviously Xiang Liu was bound in this swamp, and they didn't need to fight against Xiang Liu, they just needed to escape from the swamp.It is estimated that these yellow snakes are not here to guard Xiangliu, but to warn outsiders not to approach the swamp.

However, before Shao Jingxing could finish his thoughts, an invisible force suddenly came, pulling him to take a few steps forward and stepping into the swamp with one foot.And about a dozen meters in front of him, the scenery was slightly distorted, the black and green swamp color faded, and a piece of white appeared indistinctly.

Shao Jingxing's eyes widened suddenly - he saw Huo Qing in the whiteness!

Not only Huo Qing, but also others!He saw Ji Yan grabbing Huo Qing's wrist for some reason, surrounded by Zhuang Juan and Zhang Sheng.Also, there seems to be a person lying on the ground. Why does his body look surprisingly long, as if he has a tail...

This scene just flashed by, and disappeared before he could see it clearly, and what appeared in front of him was Xiang Liu's ugly head again.But Shao Jingxing was sure that what he saw must be the scene in Zhongshan Valley, and it was very important!

"What are you doing!" Su Zheng and Cun Weiping had already run to his side, and they were about to step out of the swamp in a few steps, but they found him standing still, so they quickly pulled him away, "Hurry up!"

Murakami's abilities were almost exhausted, and he said out of breath, "Hurry up, this is Xiangliu! Although I don't know why it didn't die, it might be locked in the swamp, as long as we get out of the swamp! "He has more experience than Shao Jingxing, and he has already analyzed the correct conclusion in a short while.

"No!" Shao Jingxing stood still, "I can't leave now!"

The blood stains on the wrist were hot, although he didn't understand it very well, but he had a faint feeling - he couldn't leave now, Huo Qing was approaching him, if he left, what if Huo Qing couldn't find him manage!

Shao Jingxing didn't know about space or teleportation, and he didn't know that Ji Yan was learning and selling land and drawing teleportation talismans, and he didn't know that Ji Yan was using him to locate, and that the five-colored moth remained in the chrysalis shell in his hand. Can only support him to try once...

Shao Jingxing didn't know all this, but he knew that Huo Qing could find him through the Qingfu Seal, and that was enough.He didn't know where to find Huo Qing, so let Huo Qing come to him, as long as he stayed where he was and waited.

That's right - the current position he's staying in doesn't seem to be so... Xiang Liu's head is already chasing him in front of him!

However, an indistinct force pulled Shao Jingxing not only to not retreat, but to take a few steps forward.In just these few steps, he had sunk from his ankles to his knees, and the wet mud became more active as he got closer to the center of the swamp, and he even had to climb up his legs!

"Why—" Su Zheng became anxious, and swung the triangular thorn to cut off those mud tentacles, trying to drag Shao Jingxing out, "Are you crazy?"

"No!" Shao Jingxing was also anxious, "Don't drag me! I can't explain clearly, but I just can't move now! Huo Qing, Huo Qing and the others are looking for me!"

Du Weiping and Su looked at each other, and couldn't figure out why he couldn't move—they all knew the effect of the green seal, and there was no possibility of losing the signal as soon as he moved.

But since Shao Jingxing didn't walk blindly, the two of them couldn't leave him and run away.Besides, Wan-Shao Jingxing's feeling is right?What if they backed out of the swamp and really lost contact with the people in the valley?Bai Xin, Bai Xin is still there!

Su Zheng turned his head to look at the chasing heads, cursed angrily, held the shield in one hand and clenched the three-edged thorn in the other—what can be done, fight.
