moonlit night

From the moment the mother clam appeared in sight, Yue Qingchen had manipulated the ice boat to do a few vertical dives, and soon circled the mother clam for a circle, sinking to a position very close to her mouth, even the clam shell The lines of the brilliance on the top can be seen clearly.

But soon, a struggling figure appeared in the field of vision.Leng Beixiao took a closer look, and it turned out to be the old crab spirit who had led them the way earlier. Seeing that half of his crab leg was caught in the clam shell, and his whole body was stained with blood, he flicked the long whip in his hand, and was wrapping a pair of crab spirits around him. pliers, and pull back firmly.

At the same time, Luo Mingche directly leaned out from the ice boat, holding the Jinghong in his hand, pierced along the opening of the clam shell, and directly pierced into the shell that was close at hand.This action was merciless, the clam monster was in pain, and Ben subconsciously wanted to close the clam shell.But Luo Mingche did not back down after a successful blow, but quickly turned the sword head from horizontal to vertical, stuck the body of Jinghong sword between the upper and lower clam shells, and cooperated with Leng Beixiao's long whip to force it At the moment of life and death, the old crab demon was rescued.

But also because of this, they failed to intercept the other two members of the Jiaoxing Gang and the man in time, and could only watch them being sucked into the huge clam shell.The clam demon immediately closed tightly without leaving any gaps. However, at the same time, the vortex storm in the outside world became more violent and raging, with no tendency to slow down in the slightest.

Although the crab demon was seriously injured, half of the crab legs seemed to be lost, but he was still clinging to the edge of the ice boat, and shouted at the clam demon in front of him: "No! No! Green Dendrobium, give me the holy thing!"

But what responded to him was only a menacing raging wave, which seemed to indicate the giant clam's monstrous rage.

Seeing that it is useless to get close, and it is difficult to stay on the surrounding vortex for a long time, Yue Qingchen controlled the ice boat to retreat a few feet away, then walked down from the bow, came to the side of the crab monster, and lost to him. A little spirit.Seeing that the broken leg was no longer bleeding, he withdrew his hand and asked the crab demon, "What's going on?"

"Thank you, Your Highness." The old Xie Jing was so moved that he burst into tears, but he really wanted to tell him the ins and outs of the whole thing, but he felt embarrassed and a little ashamed to speak.But in the end, reason prevailed and he was willing to tell Yue Qingchen the truth of the matter.

"Actually, if we want to talk about the root of this matter, we have to start talking about it from 1000 years ago, when I tried to hide the things that His Highness gave me into the mother oyster." Xie Xie sat in the ice boat, recalling Recalling the bloody storm that year, "At first she was unwilling because she had already sneaked ashore and fell in love with a human race on land. I threatened her that if she didn't agree, I would kill the person she liked. She did what she said. She knew that it was impossible to protect that man for the rest of her life with her own strength alone, so she agreed. But there is one condition, that is, during the days when she sinks into the abyss, I will protect that man , can't let him suffer the slightest harm.

I agreed, but the human race's lifespan is too short, and the man passed away not long after.I thought that the promise had been fulfilled so far, so I ignored it. Since then, I have been wholeheartedly guarding the forbidden area, and I have not set foot on the sea.Unexpectedly, now, someone has found the man's reincarnation and brought him to this place.This, this must be deliberately trying to take advantage of the remaining love of Luhu for him, and take away that glazed eye, cough cough cough! "

"Take it away?" Luo Mingche pondered for a moment, "Does Xiao Ziyuan want to go to the Xuanwu Tomb besides us?"

"No, it's not going to the Xuanwu Tomb," Yue Qingchen said lightly, "He wants to use this to alarm the patron saint of the fairy tomb, thus cutting off this road, so that we can never find that place again."

The deep-sea people have always regarded the tomb of Emperor Xuanwu as a scourge, and they dare not even mention it easily. Now that the three people in the boat were talking about entering the tomb again, the old crab spirit couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and persuaded again:

"Your Highness, I really can't go to that place!"

"The more someone desperately tries to stop us, the more it means that there is a ghost here. Little crab, after all, he has lived a long time. Don't you even understand this truth?" Leng Beixiao stood with his hands down, and sneered, "So this king It doesn't matter, but looking at the situation, it still has to go."

Although Leng Beixiao is called the King of Ten Thousand Monsters, he is actually only the king who commands the monsters on land, but in the deep sea, he is ruled by the Dragon God and the King of the Sea.At first, the old crab demon saw his extraordinary bearing and knew that he must be a big monster, but he didn't pay much attention to it.But after hearing him call himself "the king" a few times in succession, he already had concerns in his heart, but he didn't make a sound at the moment, his eyes just stared anxiously at Yue Qingchen, eagerly hoping that the other party would listen to his advice , while continuing:

"Your Highness, everyone, when I just came down, it was still calm here. Originally, I had already entered the clam shell, and the green dendrobium was ready to hand over the glazed eye, but who would have expected that group of people to come so coincidentally?" Well, now that she knows that I failed to protect that man's reincarnation, and that he has been harmed by others like this, it will be difficult for her to open it."

While the old crab spirit was speaking, Yue Qingchen's eyes kept changing back and forth between the directions of the clam demon and the previous three people from the shark gang.Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he immediately took three steps and two steps, walked to Yuan Nai who had been dead for a long time, stretched out his hands and searched in his arms and sleeves, but he couldn't find what he wanted.But just when he got up because he was about to give up, Yue Qingchen saw a little black powder sticking to the hem of Yuannai's robe as his eyes moved down, and it didn't dissolve in the seawater like others.

"Not good." Luo Mingche turned his head away when he heard the sound, only to hear Yue Qingchen say firmly: "It's black saltpeter."

It turned out that the man's body was full of black saltpeter.

Leng Beixiao turned around and left, as if planning to go straight to the clam spirit: "I'm going to pry open that shell right now."

"Don't go, it's late." Luo Mingche held him back, "If it's really black saltpeter, it will definitely explode from the inside in a short while. And once it explodes, there will be nothing left inside. Not only the inside..."

"It's not just inside," Yue Qingchen shook his head, and quickly said: "If that person's whole body is filled, it's unknown whether the lives of the clam monster and the surrounding water tribes can be saved. Hengwu, you See if there is any temporary shelter nearby. Demon King, follow me."

"What are you doing?" Leng Beixiao asked cautiously.

An ice blade gradually took shape in Yue Qingchen's hands. He tried the edge of the ice boat to test the sharpness, and replied without raising his head: "According to what you said, let's pry open its shell."

Leng Beixiao raised his eyebrows, suddenly felt a little interesting, and couldn't help but said: "Wang Shu Jun, I seem to understand why Mo Zun likes you. Do you want to know?"

Yue Qingchen glanced at him coldly, then ignored Leng Beixiao, but directly put away the ice blade, put his hands on the edge, and jumped off the boat first.Leng Beixiao followed closely behind, and the two of them, one in front of the other, arrived in front of the tightly closed clam monster almost instantly.Just as Leng Beixiao was about to make a move, he suddenly saw Yue Qingchen's walking figure paused for a moment, feeling strange, but he heard the man say indifferently:

"If it's still too late later, and the patron saint of Emperor Xuanwu is alarmed, you can take Hengwu to the coral group on your right hand side, don't worry about me. There is an old clam that died in the thunder disaster thousands of years ago, The corpse has not been melted for thousands of years, and its quality is as hard as iron, so it must be no problem to protect you through this calamity."

Leng Beixiao is used to being in a high position, so he really doesn't like others talking to him in such an unquestionable tone.But looking at Yue Qingchen's back, cold and clear, thin and thin, standing in front of the giant clam as tall as three or four towers, like a small boat floating on the cold river in the ice and snow, it may be swallowed by huge waves at any time , Leng Beixiao felt inexplicably blocked.He wanted to say yes, but when he thought about it again, he found a doubt in it, so he said directly: "Since you know where there is a place to take refuge, why do you want to look for it? Also, If my king remembers correctly, you have never been here before, how can you be so familiar with the terrain?"

Yue Qingchen's hand holding Bingren tightened unconsciously, thinking in his heart that Leng Beixiao, a monster who never cares about things, thought it would be a lie to ask him to come, but why did he stay with Hengwu for only a few days? Still learning to be smart?

"When did you become so wordy?" Yue Qingchen took the lead to step towards the oyster mother in front of her, "What are you waiting for, let's do it."

Leng Beixiao only felt a cold light flash in front of him, seeing that the other party was holding a sharp sword and was about to slash at the oyster mother in the air, and felt that something was wrong.So he immediately stepped forward and stopped him: "Wait a minute!"

"I said before that you didn't want to see the Demon Lord, so you drove him away. But now it seems that the reason why you dismissed him in advance is because you don't want Jun Changye to see it with your own eyes in case something happens to you. Why, afraid that he will go crazy when he sees you dead?"

When Leng Beixiao spoke, Yue Qingchen's sword had already been struck down, and he directly caught the phantom-like sword energy with his hand, and the pain was excruciating, but he didn't let go.Blood flowed down the ice blade, tick-tock, and soon melted into the water.They were in a stalemate, but at this moment, they suddenly heard the cry of a woman, faintly coming from behind him.

"The demon king thinks highly of me. I have always cherished my life, and I can't do something like sacrificing myself while letting others live." Yue Qingchen pursed her lips, but the force of the falling ice blade did not relax.He said softly: "Besides, how about the Demon Lord, what does it have to do with me?"

As soon as these words came out, Leng Beixiao suddenly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and wondered why this person was so awkward. Fortunately, Jun Changye didn't hear these words.The sea water flooded into the wound, and his hands hurt. The female clam demon behind him cried miserably and had a headache. In short, he felt pain everywhere now. In order to divert his attention, he shouted at Yue Qingchen:

"Honestly, what would happen if you pried open the shell?"

"No matter what, I must get that glazed bead." Yue Qingchen retracted the ice blade with his backhand, without looking at Leng Beixiao, and walked around him directly, "If you don't help, don't Stop me."

At this moment, the two of them were only a few inches away from the giant clam's original opening. Leng Beixiao didn't know what Yue Qingchen wanted to do, so he hesitated for a while.But it was just this hesitation, the next moment, he suddenly heard a loud noise from inside the giant clam, and the heat wave that was set off went straight to the outside.Although they were all isolated by the ice shield that Yue Qingchen formed at that moment, the cracks burst open layer by layer on the surface of the mussel mother, and soon the clam shell, which was originally crystal clear as jade, was covered with spider webs.

The clam demon was trembling, obviously seriously injured, but at a critical moment, in order to protect her husband from falling into other people's hands, she closed it tightly again regardless of her own safety.

And this was just the first explosion after the black saltpeter split in the man's body.
