Between mountains and seas

Chapter 55

The reason why Shao Jingxing remembered Fuli Mountain was because when he heard Ji Xiaojiu talk about it, he thought it was "Fox Mountain" - Ji Xiaojiu said that there was a strange beast on that mountain called Dragon Nephew, which looked like a A fox with nine heads and nine tails and tiger claws.

Of course, Ji Xiaojiu angrily reprimanded him, saying that she was neither from Hu Jian nor from Fran, and that mountain was not called the Fox Mountain, but the Mountain of Fuli!

Anyway, after this mistake, Shao Jingxing was very impressed with Fuli Mountain, so when he saw the strange beast standing on the edge of the tree shadow, he immediately remembered it.And what impressed him even more was that this vixen with nine heads and nine tails cannibalize people!

Boom!A gunshot rang out from the tent, and the man in glasses was not asleep, just waiting for this thing.

This sudden shot was beyond what Nephew Long had expected. It let out a cry like a baby, staggered a step and fell to the ground.

"Hit!" Tieta jumped up and laughed loudly, and was about to go to pick up the corpse.But before he stopped laughing, Fu Rong's voice came from the tent: "Be careful!" A smaller dragon nephew came out from the other side, with its nine tails flapping like wings, it leaped over the trees in the forest. In the open space, he slammed on the back of the iron tower, and the nine heads opened their mouths together, biting his neck.

The response of the iron tower is also extremely fast.These people have rich experience in combat. As soon as they felt something on their backs, they immediately crossed the gun to block the arteries on the side of their necks. With a click, Nephew Long's two heads bit the barrel of the gun at the same time, making a jaw-dropping sound. Sour sound.

But Nephew Long has nine heads after all, even if several heads are blocked, two heads still bite on the back of the iron tower, and the other head bites his hand holding the gun.

The iron tower screamed, and Fu Rong rushed up and stabbed Nephew Long in the back.Several heads that hadn't bitten anyone uttered baby-like cries at the same time. Nephew Long's tails slammed into Fu Rong's face, sweeping her so that she had to turn her head to avoid the eyes, and Nephew Long carried the wound on her back. He jumped away, leaving behind a few deep tooth holes on the iron tower and claw marks on his back.

"Damn it!" The iron tower's injury was not fatal, but the bites and scratches of wild animals carried a lot of germs, so it was very troublesome to deal with.

"Disinfect quickly." The man with glasses said with a sullen face, "You are too careless."

Tieta lowered his head slightly: "I didn't expect there to be several..." Because the driver only saw one on both occasions, he also subconsciously thought there was only one.

While disinfecting his wound, Fu Rong said simply: "This thing moves too lightly and quickly, and it can't be seen in the shadows at all." The iron tower was a bit underestimated, but she didn't. At that time, she was observing the surroundings in the tent. .But before the dragon nephew jumped out of the shadow and rushed towards the iron tower, she didn't realize at all that this thing seemed to be able to merge with the shadow.

And when it jumped out, with nine tails flapping, it seemed to fly so far, not to mention the jumping distance beyond the jumping distance of ordinary foxes, even ordinary tigers couldn't jump that far.

"This is Nephew Long." He Maochuan also came out of the tent, and the black cat lay on his shoulder again, staring at the surroundings vigilantly, "It seems that this should be the mountain of Fuli."

He did his homework on the world of mountains and seas very seriously: "This thing should have a nest, and it wants to eat people."

Only now did the driver realize how dangerous this thing is. He thought that if he hadn't wanted to go to the bathroom just now, and when he turned around and saw the nephew screaming, maybe the thing would have jumped on him and bit his neck off.With so many heads, his reaction is not as fast as the iron tower, so he can't guard against it at all!

"Well, wouldn't there be more coming..." A litter, a litter!How many must there be!

"Let's get rid of them first!" Although Iron Tower was bitten, he was not afraid at all. "Since they are also afraid of guns, what are they afraid of!"

At this time, the little man had already dragged Nephew Long's body over.Under the firelight, it was clearly seen that this thing was only slightly larger than an ordinary fox, and it was not a giant, but its nine heads formed a large circle like sunflowers. At this moment, some of them were still alive and grinning. It's a little hairy.

The man with glasses was very calm: "It's just like cutting off a snake's head and it can bite people. You just need to be careful. I'm most afraid of any infectious diseases or toxins—Mr. He?"

He Maochuan shook his head: "It should not be poisonous."

Indeed, the blood from the iron tower's wound was all red, and it wasn't particularly swollen or numb at the moment, so it could be seen that it was non-toxic.

"In that case, let's take their lair." The man with glasses pushed his glasses and said calmly.

In fact, Shao Jingxing also felt that this idea was correct.It's already killing one and injuring the other, and they have formed a revenge anyway.Besides, even if there is no enmity, these things still eat people. Anyway, they have to confront each other anyway, so it is better to strike first.The only problem is, where can they find Nephew Long's lair in the dark night?

"It's in front, not too far away." He Maochuan raised his chin with a determined expression.

"How did Mr. He know?" Now the man with glasses was a little surprised, and a little skeptical - if he had known that this place was not far from Nephew Long's lair, why would he let him camp here?

He Maochuan raised his hand, and under the firelight, his fingertips reflected a silver light, which was a transparent spider thread, extending towards the dark forest.

"It's that—" the man with glasses suddenly realized.

It was only at this moment that everyone realized that the bridal bride had disappeared.

"It is chasing the nephew that escaped." He Maochuan said leisurely, "It has been found, and there is a litter of small ones."

It didn't sound like Nephew Long was too much, and everyone cheered up immediately.Instead of worrying about it all night, it's better to clear them up so that you can sleep peacefully.

"Nephew Long is the only one who threatens this beautiful mountain." He Maochuan glanced at the equipment of the man with glasses and the others.Others don't know, but he knows that the power of mountains and seas is corrosive to these metals, although he gave each of them a piece of talisman paper before coming in - it is said to be a letter of protection, but it is actually to slow down their movement and carry them with them. The erosion of his weapon can be regarded as another level of "protection" - but it can only slow down, not completely stop, so it's better to kill Long Nephew first, after all, these bullets are saved for the later stage. It might as well be useless at all.

The time should not exceed three days.He Maochuan thought to himself, and took another look at Shao Jingxing.This time it was this kid who saw Pihanxi, otherwise he wouldn't have used the power of the sun to forcefully enter the world of mountains and seas.If he could quickly find the mountain behind the gate, he might be able to win Pihanxi within three days.

He Maochuan also knew that this was a bit hasty, and it was tantamount to putting all the treasures on Shao Jingxing alone.But—Pi Hanxi is really rare, those idiots finally found it last time, but they didn't come back to report due to internal strife, instead they acted on their own.

It would be fine if he could catch Pihanxi, but in the end not only let it escape, but also alarmed the people in the special affairs department here.If he had known, he shouldn't have given them that talisman, and if it wasn't for the talisman—no, even if there was no talisman, those idiots would still do it themselves, thinking they could do anything with a gun, thinking they were still in East Africa While poaching?

Stupid stupid stupid!Thinking of the possibility of getting the precious Pihanxi, He Maochuan wanted to resurrect those people and kill them again!The feeling of being so close to what he was thinking about but losing it was more painful than never seeing it, and he didn't have much time. The heart beating in his chest didn't know how long it could beat.Before that, he really wanted people to know that the He Mao family was the number one Onmyoji family...

Of course Shao Jingxing didn't know what He Maochuan was thinking, but he couldn't help but want to ask, "Well, how many dragon nephews are there in this litter?" A male, a female and a litter?But on this beautiful mountain, is there just such a nest of dragon nephews?

He Maochuan smiled: "Of course it's not just this nest, but since we've found their nest, we'll kill them first. Otherwise, why don't we let the remaining one come back to seek revenge?"

This made sense, and the rest of the people agreed with it.But Shao Jingxing always felt that something was wrong in his heart, and he always felt that this number was too small to be normal.

"Well, Mr. He, when your cat went to investigate after dark, did it say that there are jade and gold mines here? Then, did you see anything else, such as iron ore?" A major feature of Fuli Mountain There is a dragon nephew, and another major feature is "there are many gold and jade on it, and many admonishment stones under it".Proverbs, the stone used to make needles, is actually iron ore.

He Maochuan's expression changed slightly: "I saw green jade and small pieces of gold." As for iron ore, he, he doesn't know what it is...

The back of Tieta's neck hurts badly - the wound that nephew Long bites is not deep, but after a long time of tossing away to eliminate the possible germs, the wound has expanded a bit.The pain made him irritable and bloodthirsty: "I'll do it first, what the hell!"

The man with glasses frowned slightly.Tieta's temperament is too impatient, otherwise he would not have been bitten for underestimating the enemy.But at this moment is not the time to teach others, and besides, he actually agrees with the iron tower.

Everyone said they wanted to leave, so Shao Jingxing had no choice but to follow, but he still whispered: "Be careful, maybe here..." He swallowed back the second half of the sentence.This may not be the mountain of Fuli.If all the strange beasts of the Dongshan system can go to Rao Mountain, then Nephew Long is not necessarily only in Fuli Mountain.

But he can't say that, otherwise, wouldn't he admit that he was lying to He Maochuan before?At that time, there is no need to wait for Nephew Long to come out, he is also dead.A dead fellow is not a poor fellow, not to mention these people are enemies.It is better for them to die than for others to die.

Because they were afraid of alarming Nephew Long, they did not use flashlights to illuminate them, but only relied on the moonlight cast from among the sparse branches and leaves, and He Maochuan directed them to move forward.

I don't know how the spider thread of the bride was pulled. Anyway, Ka Mochuan clearly led them to turn left and right among the woods for a long time, and saw a piece of earth cliff ahead, and a place near the top of the cliff was dug out. Hole.

There was a rustling sound above his head, and as soon as Shao Jingxing raised his head, he saw the bridal climb down from a tree.To be honest, seeing it lift up its skirt to reveal its eight gray spider legs is much scarier than seeing a dragon nephew.

Obviously he wasn't the only one who had this idea. The facial muscles of Brother Shi and the driver were twisted ridiculously, but they all held back and didn't make a sound. They just watched the net bride approach He Maochuan's ear and didn't know what to say. , He Maochuan clicked on the earth hole: "The injured nephew Long is inside, and there are four small ones."

"Brother, look, Jin Zi..." Someone from Brother Shi's side suddenly let out a low exclamation.

It was indeed gold. At first glance, there were several pieces, ranging from the size of a finger belly to the size of a baby's fist.Shao Jingxing was not familiar with the fineness of gold ore, but this item shone with a faint golden light under the moonlight, and it looked really good.

But what about jade?Shao Jingxing looked around, and seemed to see some green on the top of the earth cliff, but the color was dim, and he couldn't tell whether it was stone or jade, or was it poor quality jade?

The definition of jade in ancient China is "the beauty of stone", that is to say, all good-looking stones can be classified as jade, which does not have a clear mineralogical definition like today. For example, the main component of Xiuyan jade is serpentine. Hetian jade is a tremolite actinolite mineral, etc., and those feldspars and tremolites that were once regarded as jade in ancient times have all withdrawn from the "jade" family.

The descriptions in the "Shan Hai Jing" are all myths and materials handed down from ancient times. The definition of jade at that time is naturally different from the present.Just look at the characters next to the word jade: yao, beautiful jade; bi, sapphire, which actually refer to dark green quartz stone containing iron.There are many kinds of calculations, so it is hard for anyone to say whether these green colors are considered jade.

But if jade is not counted, it seems unreliable to infer that this place is the mountain of Fuli...

Shao Jingxing didn't know why he kept thinking about this question in his head, anyway, he just felt a little uneasy.But before he could think any more, a dragon nephew rushed out from the hole in the earth—the exclamation that the man saw Jin Zi just now, after all, alarmed it.

This is the dragon nephew that was stabbed by Furong. When it attracted everyone's attention, four smaller figures also flew out of the soil hole and scattered into the surrounding woods.

"Hit!" The man in glasses pulled the trigger first.He looked at Sven, but his marksmanship was unambiguous. The dragon nephew that flew out of the earth hole last was shot by him, and a ball of blood exploded in mid-air before falling to the ground.

The big nephew made a sharp crying sound, and swooped down towards the man with glasses, while the other three little nephews flew desperately towards the woods.However, their speed was too slow, and after a few bullets, two more were shot down, and only one, which was slightly larger, threw it crookedly into the woods and disappeared in the shadows.

"I'll go after it!" Tieta rushed out.The little dragon nephew was also scratched by the bullet and couldn't run very far.

"Iron Tower!" The man with glasses wanted to stop him, but Nephew Dalong had already spotted him and rushed towards him howling.Its nine tails swung like windmills, and it rushed into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

At such a close distance, the bullet might hurt his own people, so the man with glasses had to draw out his dagger to fight it.

He Maochuan frowned, and with a movement of his shoulders, the black two-tailed cat leaped out, and suddenly appeared on Nephew Long's back like a ghost. His sharp claws grabbed it hard, and followed the wound it had been stabbed by Furong before. Caught in.

This time the blood spattered, Nephew Long's back seemed to be cut open by a scalpel, a slit stretched from the neck to the tail, the whole body burst open, and the blood splashed on the face of the man with glasses.

The man with glasses took a step back with a very ugly face, looked at the dead Nephew Long who fell on the ground, and understood that He Maochuan meant to demonstrate.Ever since they accepted He Maochuan's commission, although they knew that the beautiful woman who was with him was an inhuman, but He Maochuan himself was mediocre, so they didn't take him too seriously.Now that He Maochuan did this, he was obviously telling them that he had more than just a monster.

At this moment, the little man had already chased into the woods to reinforce the iron tower, and soon the sound of the iron tower sounded: "Haha, let's see where you are running! What is this!"

The man with glasses felt his heart tighten, and he heard a quack and a gunshot at the same time, as if it was a duck quacking.However, the gunshots rang out again and again, which made him feel even more tense—it takes so many shots to shoot a duck?

"Fu Rong, go and have a look and tell them to come back quickly!"

Before the man with glasses finished speaking, Shao Jingxing heard a small voice in the woods behind him. He turned his head abruptly, only to see a head protruding from behind a tree.This thing looked like a horse's head, but it had four horns growing on it. When Shao Jingxing turned his head, the horse's head actually let out a "Wow", turned around and ran away.

"What is that?" Brother Shi also saw it.

"What?" He Maochuan turned his head too late, and the thing ran so fast that he didn't see it.

Just as Brother Shi was about to describe it, the iron tower over there happily came out of the woods with a dragon nephew in one hand and a wild duck-shaped bird in the other: "This thing also found a helper." He walked to the fire On the side, he threw the two corpses on the ground, "This bird is quite capable. It missed several shots, but the rat was very powerful, and it fell down with a dart."

The little man followed behind him, expressionlessly wiped off the blood on the dart with his fingers, and wiped it on the nearby tree trunk.

"This bird, why does this bird have such a tail..." The driver stood beside Shao Jingxing and murmured.

Shao Jingxing's head buzzed, and the wild duck that was thrown down from the iron tower had a mouse-like long tail growing on its buttocks.He has seen this thing before, in the cemetery.

This is a hook that spreads the plague.

At this moment, he also remembered that the four-horned horse that ran away just now was called Yi Yao, and both it and Jie Gou lived in the mountains.

Here, it is not the mountain of Fuli.
