Chapter 9, will come in handy
"That day, my granddaughter and I were grazing sheep near Mingshan. I happened to see the eruption of Mingshan. A black whirlwind blew up at that time. My granddaughter and I escaped the storm behind the rocks. After the storm, I saw a figure walking out of the black soil. Every time he took a step, flames would pop up on the ground. I came back and told the clan leader about the matter. They didn't believe me, and they insisted that I angered the mountain god of Mingshan and locked me up."
"Where did that person go later?"
The old herder shook his head. From his expression, he could see that he didn't want to recall the scene of that day.
Su Chen held the old herdsman's hand and comforted him: "I will tell my master about this. She is very nice and will definitely find a way to clarify it for you."
After hearing this, the old herder dragged his stiff body to kowtow to him. Su Chen couldn't bear it and helped him up.
He hurried back to the crowd and looked for Xueyao. At this time, Xueyao was surrounded by a group of people and cried. He squeezed in and told her about the matter in a whisper.
However, Xueyao just told him not to worry too much. As long as he pacified Mingshan, everything would be solved, so he hurriedly pulled him back to the main force.
"Go away quickly, they almost got madly stung!"
After leaving the herdsmanship area, Xueyao complained.
Su Chen felt uncomfortable when he remembered the promise he had just made to the old herdsman. He thought Xueyao was a kind-hearted person, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
The large army slowly marched towards Mingshan.
As the black soil approached, the two snow leopards suddenly refused to leave, and they all crawled on the ground and shivered, and their front paws were even scratching the ground frantically to vent their anxiety.
"It seems that there is something amazing ahead."
Xue Yao's tone was calm and she could not hear any fear, but Su Chen was panicked. Even if there were two snow leopards in front of him, he couldn't stand it.
They had no choice but to get out of the car and follow the large army to enter on foot.
At this time, Su Chen found that the national squad had also landed and was walking at the forefront of the team.
He had heard other workers talk about war scenes in the palace, and the generals were commanding in the rear, and the soldiers charged forward. Seeing that the situation was not good, the general took the lead in escaping, but since he followed this team, he found that many things were different from what he thought.
Xue Yao did not show off any airs, and even let herself ride a carriage with her. The national teacher charged forward and walked in the forefront of danger. If he had been a lifelong life, he hoped to be behind them forever, rather than the high-ranking officials in the royal palace.
As the national division was the first to step into the black soil, the silver-armored sergeants also entered one by one.
Su Chen raised his foot and stepped on the black soil, and the ground made a creaking sound. Every step seemed to be stepping on the burnt land, and even a little ashes rose.
In addition to the feet, the sky is filled with smoke and dust, as if walking in the foggy hell on earth.
"This is really scorched earth!"
Xue Yao exclaimed, then said to herself: "Is the legend true?"
"What legend?"
Su Chen was curious.
"I once read an ancient book in the Hall of Eternal Life, which records the legend about Mingshan. The classics say that this was once a battlefield, and the battle ended with a shocking fire, which burned for hundreds of years before it was extinguished."
Su Chen's heart was trembling. What kind of fire can burn for hundreds of years? Wouldn't it burned the whole world for hundreds of years?
Just as Su Chen was planning to continue asking questions, a stop order came from the front.
The silver-armored sergeant stopped in an orderly manner, and reflected the consistency between them from front to back. Only Su Chen and Xue Yao had no time to brake and almost hit the sergeant in front.
"Is there a situation?"
Xueyao excitedly pulled Su Chen to run forward.
Her eyes were full of curiosity, while Su Chen was full of fear. Why were you curious about me?
Su Chen had a bad premonition.
When I came to the front, I found that there was a small hill less than a hundred meters away from the team. Due to the ashes all over the sky, I couldn't see what it was, but I could vaguely determine that the overall hill was dark red. If I observe carefully, I found that the hill seemed to be trembling with a faint amplitude.
"What is that?"
Xue Yao asked the national teacher who covered his face with a white veil.
The national master squinted his eyes and observed it carefully, and replied coldly: "It may be a wounded beast king."
This was the first time Su Chen heard the national master speak. The cold voice lingered in his heart several times and repeatedly recalled it.
He imagined what kind of peerless face he had under the veil based on his voice.
He soon returned to normal, and at the same time he was frightened by the content of his words, the hill in front of him turned out to be a monster!
He also looked carefully and found that a lot of black liquid was oozing around the hill. Could it be that this is the monster's blood?
"You! Go up and take a look!"
Xue Yao ordered Su Chen.
"Ah! I'll go?"
Su Chen had a good impression of her and thought she was a master worth following, but now he was heartbroken.
"It wasn't you who said it yourself, aren't you afraid of death? That's why I brought you here. It's valuable to die even if you die. Go and have a look."
Only then did Su Chen realize that what Xue Yao said at that time, "It will come in handy when the time comes", it turned out that this is what it means.
An angel appearance and a vicious heart, why did I believe she was a good person?
What else can you say is like his senior brother, it’s all lies!
Su Chen took a deep breath and calmed down. He thought about it and felt strange. Could it be that this master was too kind to him before, and he actually complained so much about his master. He was a humble servant tortured by fate, so what qualifications did he have to complain about his master's cruelty?
He paced toward the hill, hoping that it was just an ordinary hill, not a monster at all.
When he really walked to the hill bag, he found that the hill bag had fish scale patterns on the outside, and the trembling of the hill bag became more obvious.
Su Chen thought to himself, it's over! This is definitely not a small mountain bag, but he still had a trace of fantasy and wanted to reach out to touch it.
Suddenly, the crimson scales in front of him scattered, revealing a large brass-colored eyes as big as a water tank, and Su Chen's fearful look was reflected in his pupils.
"ah!"
Su Chen screamed, frightened to death. This was much more terrifying than stabbing the sword to death. He thought he was ready to die, but at this moment he began to be afraid of death.
A big mouth was wider than his entire body, and he could even see the mucous membranes squirming in the monster's throat.
brush!
The big mouth closed, but swallowed it empty.
Su Chen was pulled back in time by two icicles.
Xue Yao threw him aside and mocked him: "Will you still dare to say that you are not afraid of death in the future?"
Su Chen was still in deep fear, unable to calm down, and even forgot how to breathe.
The monster finally unfolded, revealing its huge body.
It turned out to be a giant crimson lizard, and there were two wings covering the sky on his back, flapping the sky with ashes.
There was a obvious bite mark on its front hooves, and the wound was deeply bone-like, and black blood kept flowing out.
The giant lizard stretched out a scarlet letter and attacked the team. This letter alone was like a big red python.
"spread!"
At the command of the national sergeant, the silver-armored sergeant instantly spread out, avoiding the scarlet letter, and at the same time pointing the spear in his hand at the giant lizard, ready to sprint at any time.
The national teacher and Xue Yao moved to the sides, shooting out many icicles from their hands, like feather arrows stabbing at the giant lizard.
However, these seemingly sharp ice arrows pierced the giant lizard without any pain or itch, and were instantly shattered by the crimson scales on its appearance.
"Attack its abdomen!"
The national teacher gave another order.
Xueyao responded immediately.
"I'll get it to look up!"
Xueyao jumped, stepped on two icicles and flew directly above the giant lizard.
I saw her seals with her hands and chanting a string of spells. Suddenly, a huge ice bow was formed out of thin air in her hands.
Xue Yao pulled the bowstring back, and a giant feather arrow quickly condensed, and at the same time it caused the surrounding water to gather towards it.
The giant lizard seemed to notice the powerful attack, quickly raised its head, opened its big mouth and rushed towards Xueyao.
The national master was also brewing his ultimate move at this time, preparing to take the opportunity to attack the abdomen of the giant lizard. However, after the giant lizard raised its head and jumped up, Su Chen and the national master were both dumbfounded.
