Chapter 53

"Stone Island" quickly moved to the shore.

The approach of this unknown monster brought an invisible sense of oppression. Except for a few people such as Lan Wangji, Jin Zixuan, Jiang Cheng, and Wen Zhuliu, the rest of them kept retreating. Just when everyone thought that this thing under the water would suddenly burst out, it stopped.

It was because he jumped on its back that the sleeping monster was awakened. Now Wei Wuxian can't act rashly.

On the pitch-black water around the "Stone Island", a few unusually bright red maple leaves floated past.

Under these maple leaves, in the depths of the black pool, there is a pair of shiny brass mirrors.

The pair of brass mirrors got bigger and closer, Wei WuXian couldn't help but dragged Wen Chao back two steps, his feet shuddered suddenly, and the "Stone Island" rose into the air. A swarthy giant beast head held up the maple leaves and burst out of the water!

Amidst the screams of varying heights, the monster slowly twisted its neck and stared at the two people standing on its back with those big eyes.

This round beast head is very strange, like a turtle and a snake. Just looking at the head of the beast, it looks more like a giant snake, but looking at the body of the beast that has mostly emerged from the water, it looks more like...

Wei WuXian said, "...What a big one...Wang Ba..."

This is no ordinary bastard.

If this bastard smashed into the school grounds in Lotus Pier, I'm afraid that the tortoise shell alone could fill the entire performance field. The three sturdy men couldn't hold its dark glans in a hug. Ordinary bastards will not protrude an incomparably long, twisted snake head from the turtle shell, full of yellow fangs that are protruding and intertwined, and they will not have four full of sharp claws, which look very flexible. animal feet.

Wei Wuxian stared at those big golden eyes. Its pupils form a line, changing from time to time thick and thin, as if the line of sight is sometimes condensed and sometimes scattered, and it can't see what two things are on its back.

It seems that this monster has the same eyesight as a snake, which is not very good. As long as it doesn't move, it may not be aware of it.

Suddenly, two water vapors spewed from the monster's two black nostrils.

The few maple leaves that were originally floating on the water were just close to its nose, maybe it was tickled by this little thing, and it sprayed the air. Wei Wuxian still stood still, standing like a statue, but this small gesture frightened Wen Chao.

Wen Chao knew that this monster was bloodthirsty, and when he saw that it suddenly snorted, he thought it was about to burst into flames. He ignored the sword around his neck, struggling frantically and screaming at Wen Zhuliu, who was beside the case: "Don't save me yet! Help me! What are you still doing!"

Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth and cursed, "Idiot!"

One of the two strange things in front of him suddenly twisted like a worm, and made a harsh sound, which immediately stimulated the monster. The snake-head-like animal head shrank back suddenly, then bounced up, its yellow and black fangs wide open, biting towards its own back!

Wei Wuxian raised his hand and threw it, and Wen Chao's saber was thrown seven inches from the beast's head like an arrow from the string.

However, the black scales covered with the beast's head were as hard as iron armor, and the blade of the sword seemed to hit the steel plate. The monster seemed to be stunned for a moment, and its huge eyes rolled down, looking at the slender thing that was submerged in the water and still glowing. Taking this opportunity, Wei Wuxian carried Wen Chao, a little on the soles of his feet, jumped up into the air, and landed on another stone island, thinking, "Don't tell me, this is also a big bastard!"

Suddenly he heard Jiang Cheng shout, "Be careful behind your back! Here comes the Pill Transformation Hand!"

Wei Wuxian turned his head suddenly, only to see a pair of big hands attacking silently. He subconsciously slapped it with a palm and fought against Wen Zhuliu, only to feel an unusually strong and gloomy force coming, as if something was about to be sucked out of his arm. Wei Wuxian withdrew his hand instinctively, and Wen Zhuliu took this opportunity to kidnap Wen Chao and fell back to the shore. Wei Wuxian scolded lowly and jumped ashore. All Wen's disciples took off the bows and arrows they were carrying, and took aim at the monsters while retreating. The arrows hit the black scales and tortoise shells of the monsters like raindrops. It seems to be very intense, but it is actually useless. None of the arrows hit the key points, and they are simply scratching the itch of this monster. The huge beast head swayed from side to side, and the skin outside the scales was like a black stubborn rock, full of pits, and arrows could not penetrate deeply.

Wei WuXian saw a conservatory student beside him who was panting heavily to draw an arrow, struggling to draw his bow, but he couldn't open it halfway. Unable to bear it any longer, he grabbed the bow and kicked the disciple aside. There were still three feather arrows left in the quiver. He put them all at once, pulled them to the fullest, and aimed intently. The bowstring squeaked in his ears, and he was about to let go when suddenly a scream came from behind.

Wei Wuxian turned his eyes and saw Wang Lingjiao commanding three domestic servants. The two of them held Mianmian rudely and smashed her face. The other person raised the iron in his hand and scalded her face. !

The front end of the iron was burning red and making a sizzling sound. Wei Wuxian was farther apart, and when he saw this, he immediately turned the arrow and let go.

Three arrows shot out, hitting three people, and without humming, they fell to the ground on their backs. Unexpectedly, the bowstring was still trembling, but Wang Lingjiao suddenly grabbed the iron iron that fell to the ground, grabbed her hair, and pressed it on her face again!

Wang Lingjiao's cultivation is extremely poor, but this time it is fast and poisonous. If she gets hit, even if Mianmian is not blind in one eye, she will be disfigured for the rest of her life. At this moment when this woman is ready to escape at any time in such a critical situation, she still perseveres and never forgets her thoughts of harming others!

The other disciples of the aristocratic family were all picking up arrows and building bows, focusing on fighting the monsters. There was no one around the two of them. Wei Wuxian had no arrows in his hand, and it was too late to grab someone else's. In the past, the hand that slashed Wang Lingjiao's hair and hit her heart with a slap.

Wang Lingjiao received his slap in the face, spat out a mouthful of blood, and flew backwards.

However, the tip of the iron iron had already pressed against Wei Wuxian's chest.

Wei Wuxian smelled the smell of burnt clothes and skin, as well as the terrible smell of cooked meat. Under the collarbone, near the mouth of the heart, there was a crushing pain.

He clenched his teeth fiercely, but he still couldn't bite the painful roar into his teeth and let it rush out of his throat.

His palm was strong, and it knocked Wang Lingjiao out. Blood spurted wildly, and after falling to the ground, she burst into tears. Jiang Cheng raised his hand and slashed at Wang Lingjiao's head, Wen Chao shouted wildly, "Jiaojiao! Jiaojiao! Quickly save Jiaojiao!"

Wen Zhuliu frowned slightly, but didn't say much, he flew forward, repulsed Jiang Cheng, lifted Wang Lingjiao back, and threw it at Wen Chao's feet. Wang Lingjiao threw herself into his arms, spitting blood and crying. Jiang Cheng chased after him and fought with Wen Zhuliu. Wen Chao saw that his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was terrifying. In addition, the other children of the noble family were also excited. There was also a giant monster in the pool, with its left front paw stepping on it. When he got to the shore, he finally became frightened and shouted: "Remove, retreat, immediately retreat!"

The people under his hands were struggling to support him, waiting for his old man to give the order to retreat. Hearing the words, he immediately flew away with his sword. Wei Wuxian threw Wen Chao's sword into the water, so he grabbed someone else's, hugged Wang Lingjiao and jumped onto the sword, dashing away without a trace, all the servants followed him, Jin Zi Xuan shouted: "Stop fighting! Go!"

The disciples of the aristocratic families had no intention of fighting, and continued to face this monster like a stone mountain. But they ran all the way and ran back to the hole, only to see that the vine they climbed down was coiled on the ground like a pile of dead snakes.

Jin Zixuan was furious: "Shameless thief! They cut off the vine!"

Without this vine, they would not be able to climb this steep dirt wall at all. The hole in the ground was more than thirty feet above the head, and the white light was dazzling. In a short while, the white light was like a tengu eating the moon, annihilating half of it.

Someone else exclaimed: "They are blocking the hole!"

As soon as the voice fell, the remaining half of the white light was blocked.

Deep underground, there were only a few burning torches left, illuminating a few blank young faces, speechless.

After a long while, Jin Zixuan's scolding broke the dead silence: "This pair of dog men and women really did it!"

A teenager muttered: "It doesn't matter if I can't get up... My parents will come to find me. They will definitely find it when they hear about it."

A few people sporadically agreed, and someone immediately trembled: "They thought we were being educated in Qishan, so why did they come to us... Besides, after the Wen family escaped, they would definitely not tell the truth, they would definitely make up something. The reason...we're just down here..."

"We can only stay in this cave...no food...with a monster..."

At this moment, Jiang Cheng walked slowly over Wei Wuxian. Just when he heard the phrase "no food", Wei WuXian said, "Jiang Cheng, here is a piece of cooked meat, do you want to eat it?"

Jiang Cheng said, "Go away! That iron won't burn you to death. What time is it, I really want to sew up your mouth."

Lan WangJi's light-colored eyes fell on them, and then on Mianmian who was following behind them at a loss. Her face was covered in tears, she choked up, twisted her skirt with both hands, and kept saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry". Wei Wuxian covered his ears and said, "Hey, don't cry, okay? It's me who got burned, not you. Do you want me to coax you? Can you coax me? Okay, Jiang Cheng, farewell. It's not like I broke my leg."

Several girls gathered around Mianmian, and they slapped up together.

Lan Wangji withdrew his gaze and turned back.

Jiang Cheng said, "Second Master Lan, where are you going? That monster is still guarding in the black pool."

Lan Wangji said, "Back to the pond. There is a way to leave."

Hearing that there was a way to leave, even the crying stopped abruptly. Wei WuXian asked, "What can I do?"

Lan Wangji said, "There are maple leaves in the pool."

These words sounded inexplicable at first, but Wei Wuxian was immediately hooked.

There are indeed a few maple leaves floating in the black pool where the monsters are entrenched. But there are no maple trees or people in the cave, and there are only banyan trees near the entrance of the cave. This maple leaf is bright red like fire, very fresh. When they went up the mountain, they also saw the scene of Maple following the flowing water in a small stream.

Jiang Cheng also understood, and said, "At the bottom of the black pool, there is probably a hole connected to the outside water source, and that's why the maple leaves in the mountains, forests and streams were brought in."

One person timidly said: "But...how do we know if this hole is big enough to allow people to drill out? What if it's small, what if it's just a crack?"

Jin Zixuan frowned and said, "And that monster is still in the black pool and refuses to go out."

Wei Wuxian pulled up his shirt, fanning the wound under his clothes with one hand, "It's better to move if you have a little hope, than to sit and wait for your parents to come and save him. What about it guarding the black pool? It leads out."

After some deliberation, after half an hour, a group of children from aristocratic families returned to the same path.

They hid in the cave, quietly peeping at the monster.

Most of its body is still soaked in the black pool. The long snake body protruded from the turtle shell, leaned to the shore, opened and closed its fangs, bit the corpse lightly, then shrank its neck, and dragged it into the dark turtle shell like a fortress, as if to thin it inside. Enjoy.

Wei Wuxian threw a torch and smashed it into the corner of the hole.

This movement was especially exaggerated in the dead silence, and the monster's head immediately came out of the tortoise shell. The pupils are thin, reflecting the throbbing torch, instinctively attracted by the glowing and hot things, and slowly stretched out his neck towards it.

Behind it, Jiang Cheng quietly dived into the water.

The Yunmeng Jiang Sect lives by the water, and the water of the family’s children is one in a hundred. When Jiang Cheng enters the water, the ripples disappear, and there are not even a few water waves to be seen. Everyone stared closely at the water surface, glancing at the monster from time to time. saw that the huge black snake head has been hesitantly revolving around the torch, and the heartstrings became more and more tense when it looked like it couldn't get together.

Suddenly, it seemed determined to learn about this thing, and put its nose up. But it was lightly scorched by the hot flames.

The monster's neck snapped back immediately, and two angry vapors spewed from its nostrils, putting out the torch.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng surfaced and took a deep breath. Sensing that the territory was being violated, the monster shook its head and turned to probe towards Jiang Cheng.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wei WuXian bit his finger, quickly scribbled a few lines on the palm of his hand, rushed out of the hole, and slapped the ground with his palm. The palm of the hand left the ground, and a group of flames that exceeded a person's height suddenly jumped up!

The monster was startled and looked back here. Jiang Cheng took the opportunity to go ashore and shouted, "There's a hole at the bottom of the pool, it's not small!"

Wei WuXian asked, "How small is it?"

Jiang Cheng said, "Five or six at a time!"

Wei WuXian shouted, "Listen everyone, follow Jiang Cheng closely, and get out of the water. Those who aren't injured, bring those who are fluent in water and those who can't. Don't rob anyone who can pass five or six at a time! Now, Get into the water!"

After speaking, the flames that shot up into the sky gradually extinguished. He took a dozen steps back in the other direction, and slapped the ground again, bursting out another fire. The big golden eyes of the monster were reddened by the flames, and it burned madly. It moved its four claws, and dragged its heavy body like a mountain, crawling towards this side.

Jiang Cheng angrily said, "What are you doing?!"

Wei WuXian said, "What are you doing?! Take people into the water!"

He has successfully led the monster from the water to the shore. If he doesn't leave now, he will wait! Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone come here, stand on the left if you can swim by yourself, stand on the right if you can't!"

Wei Wuxian was looking at the terrain while backing off the fire. Suddenly, his arm suddenly hurt, and when he looked down, he was hit by an arrow. It turned out that the student of the Lan family who had been glared by Lan Wangji just now picked up a bow and arrow that was discarded by the Wen family and shot an arrow at the monster. But maybe he saw that it was ferocious and terrifying, its movements were nimble, its hands were flustered and its hands were unstable, and the arrow missed its head and shot at him. Wei Wuxian didn't have time to pull it out, but he slapped the ground again, causing the flames to scold: "Get back!! Don't cause trouble for me!"

The disciple originally wanted to hit the beast's vital point with one arrow and save a little face just now, but unexpectedly, his face became paler and he threw himself into the water and fled. Jiang Cheng urged, "Come here quickly!"

Wei WuXian said, "I'll come right away!"

Jiang Cheng also had three disciples from an aristocratic family who were not good at water. This was almost the last batch. There was no delay, so they had to go into the water first. Wei Wuxian pulled out the arrow, and after pulling it, he suddenly thought, "Not good!"

The smell of fresh blood greatly stimulated the monster beast, its neck suddenly grows, and its fangs are wide open!

Before Wei Wuxian could think of a countermeasure, he slanted and was sent out with a slap.

Lan Wangji pushed him away.

The upper and lower jaws of the monster snapped together, biting his right leg.

Just looking at it, Wei Wuxian felt a pain in his right leg, Lan Wangji was still expressionless, but frowned slightly. Then, immediately dragged back!

With the size of this monster and the bite force of its fangs, it is effortless to bite a person into two pieces. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to like eating broken bits. After biting someone, whether it is alive or dead, it will indent into its shell, drag it in and enjoy it slowly. Otherwise, with just a little bit of force on his teeth, Lan Wangji's leg would be broken. This tortoise shell is so hard that it cannot be penetrated by swords. Once it is allowed to take Lan Wangji into it, I am afraid that it will never come out again!

Wei WuXian ran wild for a while, and before the animal head retracted, he pounced violently and grabbed a fang on its upper jaw.

Originally, his strength could not compete with this monster at all, but his life was at stake, and an inhuman terrifying force erupted. His feet rested on the monster beast's turtle shell, and his hands firmly grasped the tooth, like a thorn, stuck there, preventing it from shrinking in and preventing it from having a chance to enjoy this delicious meal.

Lan WangJi did not expect that he could catch up under such circumstances, and was extremely shocked.

Wei Wuxian was afraid that the monsters would have sex, so he would either eat them raw, or bite off one of Lan Wangji's legs. He continued to clench the upper fangs with his right hand and the lower fangs with his left. He tried so hard that the veins on his forehead almost burst, and his face was blood red.

Those two groups of sharp teeth had penetrated deep into Lan Wangji's flesh and blood, and they were actually forced to gradually open their teeth!

Jiguan was unable to bite his prey any longer, and Lan Wangji fell into the pool of water. Seeing him escape from danger, Wei Wuxian's strength like a god's upper body suddenly disappeared, and he could no longer hold the upper and lower jaws of the monster beast, and suddenly let go, the upper and lower rows of violent fangs snapped together, sending out a huge stone like cracking gold. ring!

Wei Wuxian also fell into the water and landed next to Lan Wangji. He flipped over and adjusted his posture, grabbed Lan Wangji, paddled the water with one hand, swam several meters in an instant, and made a long and beautiful huge wave in the pool water, rolled onto the shore, and pulled Lan Wangji out of the water. Throw it on your back and run away.

Lan WangJi blurted out, "You?"

Wei WuXian said, "It's me! Surprise!"

Lan WangJi crouched behind him, his tone rarely fluctuated: "What are you happy about?! Let me down!"

Wei Wuxian ran for his life without being idle, and said, "If you want to let it go, let it go, don't I feel bad about it?"

The roar of the monster behind them shook the eardrums and chests of the two of them, and both felt a burst of blood rushed to their throats and noses. Wei Wuxian hurriedly shut up and concentrated on running away. In order to prevent that monster from chasing after him in anger, he chose to drill in a narrow hole that the turtle shell couldn't squeeze in. He kept running for an undisclosed amount of time until he could no longer hear any sound, and then he slowed down.

The heartstrings loosened, the speed slowed down, and Wei Wuxian smelled a bloody scent. With a backhand touch, his right hand was wet red.

Wei WuXian thought, "It's going to be bad. Lan Zhan's injury has doubled and aggravated again."
