Summary of the previous chapter: After the centipede leader destroyed all the eggs, leaving only one new one it laid, it died inexplicably...
"It's really dead. Why is it so fast? Why?"
"Well, it should be caused by giving birth to the last child."
"Oh, what about the rest? The rest haven't given birth to children?"
"I think it should be a kind of self-sacrifice, well, it should be"
Ma Xiaoquan sat down on the ground, shaking his head in confusion: "Why do you have to do this? Aren't you living a good life?"
Yuan Dao: "Perhaps, after that egg hatches, it needs a lot of food. They commit suicide collectively like this, maybe in order to provide it with sufficient food."
"What, you mean to eat our own people? No?"
Yuan sneered: "Centipedes have the tendency to kill each other. I guess the leader of the centipedes has a reason for doing this."
"Okay," Ma Xiaoquan sighed, "In that case, I'll seal this place up. How long can you hold on?"
"Well, it's almost the end of the time to burn incense, but it's still possible, so you should hurry up."
"Okay" Ma Xiaoquan waved his arm, and two blue flame ribbons burst out from the palm of his hand. Ma Xiaoquan grabbed the two blue flame ribbons with both hands.
"Little centipede, I will help you guard your nest today. I hope you won't come to eat me when you grow up. I want to repay my kindness." After that, Ma Xiaoquan threw the blue flame on the ditch wall, forming a
A blue barrier.
"The blue holy fire is really powerful." Ma Xiaoquan nodded and continued to swing it until it wrapped the area with blue flames.
"Huh..." After using a lot of energy, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly felt tired, wiped the sweat from his head, and said slowly, "This blue holy fire barrier can last for twenty years. After twenty years, the barrier will
It will disappear automatically. Well, little centipede, when you grow up and be free, I will be here to wish you good luck."
...
Hua Yue hugged her knees and leaned on the body of the giant dragon. It had been almost a stick of incense since Ma Xiaoquan entered the centipede cave. During this time, Hua Yue tried to rush in several times, but was blocked by the giant dragon.
It was stopped.
Hua Yue was puzzled as to why the giant dragon wanted to stop her, but it was obviously unwise to get angry with the giant dragon.
"Ma Xiaoquan, come out quickly."
Just as Hua Yue was chanting, a ray of light faintly emerged from the centipede hole in front of him. Hua Yue was stunned, and then stood up with great joy and rushed towards the ray of light.
The originator of this glimmer of light was Ma Xiaoquan. Since the time for burning incense had passed, the energy in his body fell into deep sleep again, and Ma Xiaoquan once again lost the ability to control fire, but...
On the way back, Ma Xiaoquan discovered an astonishing secret. The cave where the centipede leader lived turned out to be inhabited by someone.
Thinking about the sudden light on the ditch wall before, Ma Xiaoquan also instantly understood that this mine ditch did not seem to be a simple mine ditch. Someone or some organization must have been there before, otherwise, that ditch would have been there.
The luminous pearls on the wall will not suddenly light up.
"Ma Xiaoquan, you're out, you're out." Hua Yue hugged Ma Xiaoquan's neck tightly and pushed into his arms.
Ma Xiaoquan hugged Hua Yue and said with a smile: "Sister Yue, I'm fine. Well, here are some night pearls. Take two to illuminate them." Hua Yue raised her head and took the night pearls sheepishly.
"By the way, Ma Xiaoquan, what are you doing inside?" Hua Yue asked.
Ma Xiaoquan sighed and said, "I went to help the big boss centipede deliver the baby."
"Ah? Delivered the baby? You?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and nodded.
"What happens next?"
"And then they're all dead."
"Them? You mean all the centipedes?"
"Yeah"
"Ma Xiaoquan, it wasn't you who killed him, was it?"
"How can I be that powerful?"
"Hmph, you can control fire. What else can you do? Hmm, who are you? Oh, oh, oh, oh," Hua Yue said, suddenly slapping her head, "The genealogy of our family.
It is recorded in the book that Ma Xiaoquan, the first generation head of your Ma family, can control fire, and it describes in detail that Ma Xiaoquan can use green flames... Ma Xiaoquan, you are the first generation head of the Ma family, Ma Xiaoquan?"
Ma Xiaoquan huffed and scratched his head: "Yeah."
Hua Yue was shocked: "It's been so long, more than a thousand years, and you actually... you actually..."
Ma Xiaoquan sighed and said: "Sister Yue, if you know, I hope you can keep it a secret for me."
Hua Yue's beautiful eyes flashed and she murmured: "Ma Xiaoquan, then...then our family's grandmother Hua Yuexin...do you love her?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Love"
"Oh, but after all these years, do you still love me?"
"like"
"Hmph, stop lying to me. You want to love my grandmother, so why are you still getting close to the eldest lady of the Dongfang Family and the Beiming Family?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "I..."
Hua Yue chuckled and took Ma Xiaoquan's arm: "So, I also have a chance."
"Don't treat Sister Yue, you..."
Hua Yue's face darkened and she said, "Why, do you dislike me for being older than you?"
"No, no, no, sister Yue, I didn't mean that, I meant..."
Before Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, Hua Yue said: "Don't call me Sister Yue, call me Yue'er."
"Yue...Yue'er? This...isn't this not good?"
"Let's do this. When no one is around, you just call me that. Yeah, that's it."
"I..." Ma Xiaoquan was helpless, but he didn't dare to say any more. If a woman becomes more powerful and becomes stronger than anyone else, she should take it easy first.
...
The two returned to the giant dragon. Ma Xiaoquan slapped the giant dragon as a greeting, while Hua Yue stood quietly beside Ma Xiaoquan.
"Gulu gulu...roar..." The giant dragon looked at Ma Xiaoquan and made a strange cry.
"Sister Yue...uh, Yue'er, what did the big snake say?"
"Well, it said it was going to send us out and then it was going to hatch its babies."
"Oh, very good, Yue'er, ask the big snake, how long does it take for it to hatch a child?"
Hua Yue roared a few times, and the giant dragon's body moved slightly in response.
"It said it would take a long, long time..."
Ma Xiaoquan grinned, shook his head and said: "Okay, then let's go out, okay"
After that, Ma Xiaoquan pulled Hua Yue and jumped onto the giant dragon's big head. The two of them grabbed the tentacles on the giant dragon's head. The giant dragon roared and climbed up the mine ditch.
...
On the mine ditch, Li Wei and his brother-in-law led more than a hundred people to guard the mine ditch. They could clearly hear the huge noise that happened under the mine ditch before.
Li Wei is a very cautious person and will take immediate action whenever he finds something is wrong.
Although he kicked Ma Xiaoquan into the mining ditch, what Ma Xiaoquan said when he fell into the mining ditch made him unable to sleep and eat well. In addition, he led his people to surround the inn in the mining area to get people, but unexpectedly he missed the target.
The more Li Wei thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he immediately got entangled with people and prepared to go down to the mine to find out.
The ropes were already prepared and ready to go down, but suddenly there was a rumbling sound underground in the mine trench. Li Wei had to postpone the plan and instead sent people to guard the trench. Once something emerged from the trench, the first
Time will kill it.
...
The foreman stood beside Li Wei and said cautiously: "Brother-in-law, do you think that Ma San will appear suddenly?"
Li Wei snorted coldly and said: "He suddenly appeared, hum, I will beat him again if he appears."
"What if a monster comes out of the mine?"
"Pah!" Li Wei slapped the foreman hard and cursed: "You worthless thing, even if you say ugly things, if a monster comes out, kill them all too."
The foreman rubbed the back of his head and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes."
...
Just as Li Wei and the foreman were whispering to each other, there was another sound in the mine ditch, but this time, the sound was not loud, and it was still a rustling sound.
"Brother-in-law, look..."
Li Wei stretched out his hand to express silence, thought for a moment and said: "Order people to guard the trench. If anything comes out, report it immediately."
"yes"
...
The mine ditch was surrounded by soldiers, each armed with spears, bows and arrows, ready for battle. At this moment, a huge head emerged from the gap in the ditch.
The soldiers were still full of confidence, but when they saw the big head, they all seemed to have lost their souls and were stunned.
Li Wei and his brother-in-law also saw the big head, and they were also trembling with fear. However, after seeing the two people standing on the head, Li Wei suddenly plucked up the courage and roared: "Ma San,
You're not dead yet? Shoot him, shoot him to death."
The subordinates did not dare to disobey the commander's order. Although the soldiers were all very scared, they had been trained after all. With Li Wei's order, the soldiers readied their bows and nocked arrows again, and shot at the big head.
Throw away the arrows, throw away the spears.
"Woo...roar" The giant dragon felt the threat, and its huge head sank suddenly. It nimbly dodged the arrows and spears, and then heard a roar, and its entire body was completely destroyed.
Climbed up the mine trench.
Li Wei was so frightened when he saw the giant dragon in full view. He didn't expect that there was such a monster in the mine trench. What frightened him even more was that Ma San was standing on the monster's head at the moment.
.....
Ma Xiaoquan touched his face. Before coming up, Hua Yue had put the human skin mask back on for him. Now he was not Ma Xiaoquan, but Ma San.
