In front of everyone, when everyone was sighing, they saw 'Li Xuan' holding a sword in one hand, making a secret with the other hand, and driving two flying talismans into the sword body, handed it to Zhang Xiaolong, and explained how to use it like this. This is called
Zhang Xiaolong went down to the river.
Zhang Xiaolong held the sword in his hand and suddenly felt a warm wave of warmth coming from his hand. He turned back to look at the villagers, gritted his teeth, and turned towards the river.
Seeing Zhang Xiaolong's resolute departure, 'Li Xuan' nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.
"Xiaolong, you must be careful!"
"If you can't fight the water monster, come ashore quickly and we'll find a way..."
Amidst the shouts of everyone, there was a sound of "plop...", and a small splash of water rippled on the river, and in an instant it was submerged in the rolling waves...
The river section here is extremely fast due to the topography. If it weren't for someone like Zhang Xiaolong who is proficient in water and has a strong body, he would have been swept away without a trace before he even reached the bottom of the water.
…
Zhang Xiaolong picked up his sword and walked to the river bank. He took a look at the rolling river water, took a deep breath, and jumped into the river. Using his hands and feet, he dived all the way. At first, he could still feel the undercurrents surging and the waves covering his eyes. The deeper he dived, the deeper he dived.
My eyes gradually became clearer. I thought that the bottom of the river was not affected by the water surface and the floating mud did not move, so it was actually clearer than the top.
After probably sneaking to a depth of tens of meters, the surrounding light began to dim again. He was hovering in the water. Through the layers of water curtains, he could vaguely see a giant pit under two water rocks in the distance. It was so dark inside that his eyesight stopped there.
He couldn't move any further, and could only vaguely see the shape of the huge pit and the lush water plants on its edge.
After sneaking for a while, Zhang Xiaolong was able to see the entire pit clearly; it was a pit between two huge rocks, with a radius of no less than twenty feet. The entrance was irregular in shape, and it was surrounded by overgrowth.
Dense aquatic plants, looking from the outside, are completely dark. From time to time, bubbles as big as a water tank emerge from the dark hole. Occasionally, fish and shrimps come here and take a detour or return in panic.
Back away.
Looking at the pothole not far away that looked like the mouth of a wild beast, Zhang Xiaolong felt nervous for no reason and secretly said: "It seems that this is the hiding place of the water monster. According to the Taoist priest's instructions, all I have to do is throw this sword into that hole."
The nest is enough, but this sword is so small, I'm afraid it's not as big as one of the monster's teeth..." Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaolong couldn't help but pick up the sword, and looked closer, and saw that the sword body no longer had the previous
It was so gorgeous that it looked like a wooden sword at this time. It was light and effortless in the hand. At the moment, I was a little undecided: "This is strange, the sword is so blazing in the hand of the Taoist leader. How come it is here?"
My hands are like dead wood and feathers? Hey! No matter, I will risk my life today for the sake of my fellow villagers on the shore, but I won’t throw a sword from this far away. This sword is light and the water is fast, and I’m afraid it won’t reach the entrance of the cave.
Washed away by the current."
Zhang Xiaolong made up his mind, emboldened himself, turned around, and swam towards the dark pothole again; this time he dived much deeper, and for a while, unprecedented water pressure came from all directions. In this situation
, if it were an ordinary person, he would probably suffocate to death if he were not crushed to death under the water, but Zhang Xiaolong did not panic and continued to dive slowly; he grew up by the river since he was a child, and the difficult environment not only allowed him to practice
He has an enviably strong physique, and his breath-holding skills under water are unmatched by anyone within a hundred miles. It usually takes five or six minutes for an ordinary person, but he is good, even if he is bored for about twenty minutes, it is not much
Of course, these innate conditions are also an important factor in his daring to come here alone.
Zhang Xiaolong swam very carefully, trying not to make any noise. Gradually, he was getting closer and closer to the entrance of the cave. The surrounding water layer began to tremble regularly, and some strange sounds could be faintly heard. He concluded that
This is definitely not what ordinary fish can emit.
Get closer... get closer... finally see it clearly... Oh my god! Zhang Xiaolong's eyes were so round, he stared at the huge hole in disbelief, and he almost couldn't control the breath in his chest and abdomen. He was shocked.
Breathe it out.
From Zhang Xiaolong's point of view, in the turbid and dark pit, a huge water beast with a snake head and a turtle body was crawling at the bottom of the pit, with its eyes closed. Its body, which was nearly half the size of a football field, occupied almost half of the space of the lair.
, the water rippled, and bubbles kept coming out of the nostrils with the big mouth of the pot, swaying, and floating upward.
Zhang Xiaolong swam gently to the side of the pothole, found a rock that could cover him, stopped, stuck his head out again, looked at the water monster, and thought: "Maybe this guy is resting after eating!
It seems that now is the best time to get rid of it." Thinking in his mind, he tightened his sword tightly, gritted his teeth suddenly, leaned out half of his body, used all his strength to throw his sword towards the water monster, and at the same time,
I recited in my mind a few spells dictated by 'Li Xuan' before I left.
But as soon as the sword was released, a dazzling purple light shot out, making a slight sword cry, as fast as thunder and lightning, drawing an arc on the dark bottom of the river, heading straight for the water monster.
As soon as the sword was released, Zhang Xiaolong felt as if he had put down a thousand kilograms of weight. He suddenly felt a lot lighter, but his eyes were still fixed on the purple light that was related to whether he could return to the shore safely.
"Ding..." In a very short period of time, a harsh sound of gold and iron clashing came. Zhang Xiaolong quickly looked at it, only to see that the place where the sword pierced was actually the thick back shell of the water monster, and the strong impact only
A piece the size of a washbasin was cut off from the back shell, but it did not penetrate the hard shell of the water monster.
The invisible shock wave stirred up layers of undercurrents and spread around.
"Roar..." Before Zhang Xiaolong could recover, a dull roar came from the pit, and the sleeping water monster was angered by the sudden attack.
Here it is the king. Since the spiritual wisdom was opened, no creature has ever dared to challenge his authority. But today, this long-established detachment has been touched. Someone actually dared to sneak attack under his nose. Although
He was not injured, but how could his dignity as the king of the water tribe here forgive such a small violation?
