Between mountains and seas

Chapter 162 Enraged Candle Dragon

Shao Jingxing's guess was not wrong. At this moment, the talisman array in Zhong Shanli had indeed been repaired.

In fact, everyone is a little embarrassed to say that it is repairing. After all, the analysis of the rune array that was expected before was not useful at all. What they did was not so much repairing the rune array as repairing the waterway—just do it It's just a little digging work, although this digging work is really hard, if it is not for a supernatural person, it is impossible to do it at all.

Ji Yan had blood on both hands.In fact, his abilities are mainly focused on mental work, and the strengthening of his body is very limited, so he looks the worst, with ten fingers worn out, and one nail peeled off a bit, but his hands are cold The water in the water froze into a carrot, but I didn't feel any pain.

But even if he can feel it, he probably can't care about it now, because after the water channel is reconnected, the whole river seems to come alive suddenly, and the five-color shimmer suddenly brightens, as if the stars are gathered together, and he doesn't know where to start. The rhythm flickers on and off, and the entire talisman array flickers on and off, as if breathing.

The wind whistled in my ears, and the originally dead valley seemed to have opened some kind of ventilation hole in a thousand-year-old tomb, suddenly gaining some vitality.

"The talisman array is in motion..." Ji Yan exclaimed, opening her eyes wide to look at the flickering five-color stones, muttering incessantly, "Qi generates Liangyi... Dongfang Jiayi wood... Eight door locks... "

No one could understand what he was chanting, and the rest of the people looked at each other, and suddenly heard a scream, even Ji Yan was startled, everyone turned their heads to look, and saw Zhulong raising his head, with a line in his mouth Red light, and Bai Xin ran out from nowhere, exclaiming with a pale face.

Red, red light?There is such a bright red light in this valley, only that gemstone?And the gem—it should have been in Huo Qing's backpack!

"Where's Huo Qing?" Ji Yan shouted.But no one answered him, Zhang Sheng had already waved his hand, and a purple-blue electric light was hitting Zhulong's forehead, and instantly turned into a web of blue light like a spider's silk and traveled all over Zhulong's body.

However, when the electric light struck, Zhulong just shook his head, not even leaving any scorching marks on the scales all over his body, as if he had just been hit head-on with a stick moderately.

Zhang Sheng had a bad temper at first, but now he wanted to save someone again, so he immediately roared, opened his arms, and the blue light flickered between his hands, intertwined into a gradually expanding electric ball.

"Dragon has reverse scales!" Ji Yan said suddenly.

As soon as Zhang Sheng nodded, he saw Zhulong lower his head again as if telepathically...

Candle Dragon's body was covered with a layer of hard ice that hadn't melted for thousands of years, and the scales were only under the ice layer, so Zhang Sheng chose to attack the head, but now it seems that the scales on the forehead are particularly hard, seemingly flat With the ability to disperse attacks, it is conceivable that even if Zhang Sheng attacks again, the effect will not be good.

Hit the snake to hit seven inches, attack the dragon to uncover the scales.Against the scale, the dragon will be angry when it is touched. The reason why it is angry is because there is the weakest defense, and even a touch may hurt the dragon, so the dragon will be enraged.

But the weakness is also where animals instinctively protect themselves, let alone a strange beast like Candle Dragon.Now that it keeps its head so low, it is impossible to see where there is a reverse scale under its jaw, let alone hit it.

"Damn it!" Zhang Sheng's eyeballs were red with anxiety, if he waited for a while, would Huo Qing be swallowed directly!

At this moment, Zhulong suddenly let out a long cry, and raised his head again, only to see a flash of red light, a backpack was thrown out from Zhulong's mouth, and fell to the ground, the ruby ​​inside rolled out, rolling down the hillside down.

Zhang Sheng opened his hands, and the blue arc instantly hit the thin scales under Zhulong's chin. Even though it was protected by ice, Zhulong still let out a painful roar.

The roar made everyone's eardrums ache a little, but the moment Zhulong opened his mouth to roar, a figure turned out of Zhulong's throat, almost rubbing against the two rows of huge sharp teeth of Candlelong. , climbed onto the candle dragon's nose.

This is of course Huo Qing. The clothes on his body have been scratched several times by the dragon teeth, and his whole body is covered with a thin layer of frost. With his movements, the ice shards fall straight down, some ice slags It was still slightly red, obviously injured.

He was still holding a metal pole in his hand. The metal pole was also frozen, but one end was dyed bright red, and thick blood was still dripping down. It is estimated that he used this metal pole just now. Inserted horizontally in the throat of the candle dragon, it was not swallowed by the candle dragon.

However, the inside of the throat was stabbed, and the reverse scale under the chin was attacked again. Zhulong was about to go crazy. He shook his head vigorously for a few times, but found that he couldn't shake Huo Qing. He became even more angry, and suddenly squirted his nose violently. With a whirring sound, two flames rushed out from the nostrils.

This was too unexpected, Huo Qing suddenly let go of his arms, and while wiping the tongues of flames, he jumped and jumped off the head of the candle faucet.Even though he reacted quickly, he was brushed aside by the flames, and one sleeve was instantly turned into ashes, revealing the metal armor wrapped around the skin.

Huo Qing threw off the red-hot and softened metal armor in mid-air, but he has been dealing with the candle dragon for so long, and now he landed from the candle dragon's head again, which is equivalent to jumping from the third floor. It was the solid rock that had been frozen for thousands of years—everyone saw him stumble when he hit the ground, and it seemed that he heard the crack of bones breaking in his ears.Immediately afterwards, Zhulong lowered his head and bit him.

Zhang Sheng let out a loud roar, but before the blue-purple arc formed, Zhulong had already turned his head and spewed out a scorching breath towards him, and white mist rose from the ice layer where it passed, causing the originally invisible breath to burst into flames. It turned into a galloping steam white dragon.

Ji Yan tugged Zhang Sheng and rolled into the icy river together, and then was exposed by Zhang Sheng's uncontrollable electric current that made him want to scream, so he didn't see the other side, a few sticks from the ice Teng Mu, who jumped out of the crack, suddenly entangled Candle Dragon.These vines are purple-brown in color, and they look dry and thin. They are not as plump, tender, and green as normal vines, but their firmness is far superior to ordinary vines. After breaking free, Bai Xin rushed forward when Zhulong was struggling.

Zhulong roared angrily, and Bai Xin was instantly surrounded by flames.Her hair was curly and scorched quickly, and even her skin was scorched, but was immediately healed by the green light that appeared.She stood against the flames, and threw a package into Candle Dragon's open mouth. The package was roasted by the residual heat of the flames, exuding a smell similar to wine, which quickly spread in the valley. Everyone who smells it feels lazy and comfortable, and their eyelids feel heavy.

"What, what?" Ji Yan shivered and crawled out of the icy water, not knowing whether he was frozen or electrocuted, his tongue was shaking like his hands and feet, and almost no one could hear him clearly. What.

But he didn't need to answer, because he gave the answer himself in the next second: "It can't be something like jade red grass, right? This—could it be that Nuwa stayed here?" Is it her family's? People, even though they didn't see what Zhuang Juan and Bai Xin did, but based on the current situation and the intoxicating fragrance, their analysis was basically correct.

What Bai Xin threw into Zhulong's mouth was of course the Jade Red Grass fruit she had picked in the ice cave. The aroma of wine after the fruit was roasted made Zhulong think it was some kind of delicacy, so he swallowed it in one gulp. down.It's just that this fist-sized package was not enough for it to fit between its teeth, so Zhulongtun swallowed it, but he didn't mean to spare him the slightest bit. Instead, he blew a mouthful of flames at Bai Xin.

The tomb of vines that originally entangled Candle Dragon had been broken inch by inch by it, but a few more vines protruded from the crack in the ice on the other side, one wrapped Huo Qing and the other Bai Xin, and quickly tore them apart. Under the ice crevasse.

Candle Dragon refused to give up, and grabbed it with one claw. There were metal fragments and broken vines mixed with the shattered ice, but the three of them still crawled out from the other side of the ice crack, and they were not missing arms or legs.

Bai Xin was ashamed.The skin on her body has actually been severely burned, and it was healed abruptly by relying on her own abilities, so that the large areas of newly grown skin on her face and hands are still pink, looking like a patched doll , quite a bit scary.

And she also healed Huo Qing's leg in just 1 minute, so now that the power is exhausted, she was almost dragged out of the ground by Zhuang Juan.

Zhuang Juan's situation was not much better.This valley is really not a place where plants can grow. Even a super powerful person like Nuwa uses her own corpse to maintain the growth of Jade Red Grass.Of course, Zhuang Juan couldn't compare with Nu Wa in terms of abilities, and there was no land for plants to grow at all, so the vines he used were all his own abilities, and he was exhausted at the moment, so he dragged Bai Xin out , I also have weak legs and can't run anymore.

Huo Qing, on the other hand, just turned up from the ice crevice, immediately pushed with both hands, and spread out a metal shield in front of the three of them, blocking the fireball sprayed by the candle dragon.

At this time, the metal ability is more convenient than the plant ability. At least the stones and soil in this valley still contain some metals. Huo Qing doesn't have to worry about not having raw materials, but extracting them requires the consumption of abilities.

At this moment, everyone is missing Cun Weiping, if he is here, wouldn't these earth and stones be used casually?But it's useless to think about it now, Zhang Sheng was about to run to support Huo Qing when a thunderbolt struck him, but Ji Yan caught him: "Oops!"

"What?" Zhang Sheng was furious, and he hardly had the patience to listen to him.

"Look!" Ji Yan raised his hand and pointed around, "Can't let the candle dragon breathe fire again!"

Zhang Sheng looked around in some puzzlement, but he saw nothing, because there was fog all around, and the scenery was blurred, and he couldn't see what Ji Yan was asking him to see.

"Fog!" Ji Yan stomped his feet, and took out the talisman paper from his body, "If the candle dragon spouts fire like this, the temperature in this valley will rise!" There is fog on all sides, precisely because the candle dragon sprays too much fire, the valley The temperature in the middle has risen a lot compared to before, so the ice water in the cold river is evaporating, and the ice layer condensed on the ground is also melting, so the mist rises like this.

"What should I do?" Zhang Sheng was dumbfounded, and had no choice but to take back the electric ball already in his hand.His thunder and lightning ability is also accompanied by high temperature, isn't it also heating up when it is released?

"Why doesn't it emit cold air anymore!" Zhang Sheng's hair was about to stand on end, "Didn't it always emit cold air before?"

"It should be because of that gem." Ji Yan murmured, "While it is called winter, it is called summer. It seems that the power of fire is obtained from that gem." That's why Nuwa took the gem , making Candle Dragon a separate ice-type ability to maintain the low temperature in the valley. "

"Then what should we do now?" Zhang Sheng turned around.

"Wait for time..." Bai Xin's weak voice came over, taking advantage of Huo Qing attracting Zhulong's attention again, she was dragged out of the battle zone by Zhuang Juan, and said with a pale face, "Zhulong has swallowed the jade The fruit of the red grass, wait until the effect of the medicine occurs, "

Zhang Sheng subconsciously asked: "How long will it take?" The question is, will there be enough time?

Bai Xin's lips moved slightly, but she didn't speak, while Zhuang Juan helped her sit down with a gloomy face: "It doesn't matter how long it takes, just delay it."

Ji Yan finally took out Yuan Hou's stack of charms from his body, and pulled Zhang Sheng: "Go, let's set up the formation!"

The fog in the valley was steaming, and even Zhulong's sight was a little obstructed.Originally, this didn't have a big impact on it, because it doesn't rely on eyes to track rubies at all, and the supernatural power contained in it is like a sun hanging in the sky to it, which can't be covered by dark clouds, but the sun can move. It's a bit of a struggle to get up.

Candle Dragon sprayed the prince again a little irritably, and immediately two streams of fire rushed out of his nostrils.The ruby ​​attracts it, and also stirs the blood and abilities in its body.Now, the fire ability suppressed the ice ability temporarily, and it almost turned into a fire dragon—also, the winter in this valley has lasted too long, it should have turned into summer.

However, something seemed wrong... Zhulong stopped in doubt.Before, the ruby ​​moved forwards and backwards, left and right. The little thief who held it jumped up and down, sometimes fled into the ice crevice, and sometimes got into the rock crevice. It often needed it to grab it with its claws, or spray it Out of cold flames.

However, it has been a while, Ruby is just in front, but it can't catch up no matter how it runs, it seems not right...

Where Zhulong could no longer see, Ji Yan was holding two charms with a distorted expression.

Half of his hair was singed off and a piece of his scalp was burned.But that's not the reason for his expression—although the burn hurts, it's not unbearable to him, it's just such a small wound—after Bai Xin recovers, he can be cured easily— —His expression is distorted because of Candle Dragon.

Zhulong's huge body was spinning back and forth on a flat ground tens of meters square.There were spells stuck on the ground, all glowing with a faint golden light at this time, forming a labyrinth in the shape of a zigzag.

Although the maze looks very simple from the outside, and the golden light is only half a foot high, and it can be stepped out as long as the candle dragon raises its feet slightly, but the candle dragon inside has not noticed it from the beginning to the end, just following the back shape The corridors spin around.

It looks like Candle Dragon is trapped, but if you take a closer look, you can see that things are not going so well.Every time the candle dragon moves, the golden light that emerges trembles, as if hit by the candle dragon.And every time Jin Guang trembled, it shortened by one point, and Ji Yan's body also trembled, as if it was not only Jin Guang who was hit, but also him.

Zhang Sheng stood on the side anxiously, he saw that Ji Yan couldn't last long, but there was nothing he could do - it had been 10 minutes since Zhulong swallowed the fruit of Yuhongcao, but he didn't intend to go to sleep yet!

Suddenly, Ji Yan staggered back as if being swung head-on by an invisible stick, the spell in his hands turned into flying ash, and the golden labyrinth on the ground disappeared in an instant, as if stuck by glue— The talisman world that was as firmly attached to the ground lost its stickiness, and was blown by the wind blown by the candle dragon, so it flew up unsteadily, and it didn't know where it went.

The escaped Candle Dragon suddenly looked up to the sky for a long time, and the solid ice around him burst into countless gaps, as if erecting a body of ice dragon scales, and between these "dragon scales", balls of flames burst out...

The hot flames rushing towards the face distorted the air around Zhulong's body, making it even more ferocious.But at this time, what everyone was worried about was not even Candle Dragon, but they all found that in the nearest waterway, a few five-color stones started to squirm...

Five-color stones are alive, because they are not real stones, but pupae of five-color moths.It's just that creatures like the five-color moth are too strange. They are somewhat similar to chaos to a certain extent. What they need is not ordinary food, but mutated energy.It's just that the chaos belongs to the type of thin water and long flow, and it has become an adult. It only needs to absorb the free power of mountains and seas to survive; and the five-color moth needs a lot of supernatural powers in a short period of time because it needs to go through several metamorphosis. I don't know how long it will take to accumulate the power of mountains and seas to "break through".

It is also because of this that it is very difficult for the five-color moths to hatch from eggs and hatch from pupae. If they do not have enough supernatural powers, they can even maintain their original appearance for tens or hundreds of years.Especially the pupa, since the pupa turns into a moth, it is a qualitative change, and even the ability will change, so it is even more difficult.That's why some people mistake them for "stones" and think that they are not living things at all.

Nuwa took advantage of this feature to design this talisman array.The chrysalis absorbed the power of mountains and seas in the air, but this power was immediately sucked away by the talisman array, making them unable to obtain enough energy to pupate.

However, the auxiliary pupae are living creatures after all, so Nuwa used the darkness and coldness of Zhongshan to reduce the activity of these pupae.However, the energy in the valley has changed due to the entry of rubies, and now the temperature has not returned to the original freezing cold. After all, the pupa is not a real stone, so it will naturally respond—some of the closest ones have already felt it, which may be Chance of them feathering!

Flames ignited around Candle Dragon's body, but suddenly, the heat on his face disappeared, and Huo Qing, who had already wrapped his head and face in metal, jumped up from the nearby stone, and was about to throw his life on Candle Dragon's head up, but he missed it.At the same time, Zhuang Juan's two vines twisted into steel bars also passed through Zhulong's body, as if piercing through a phantom, and also missed.

Candle Dragon, although it looks like it is still in front of their eyes, is out of reach...
