Chapter 121 Black Dragon: Abyss
Chapter 121 Black Dragon: Abyss
Ghost Jade Gentleman. Looking at the strangely shaped flower, the term "ghost jade" seems quite appropriate. Most importantly, this thing... should be worth quite a bit of money.
"It's so valuable? Dig it up! Our fortune depends on it."
So I picked up the hoe and carefully dug out the orchids on the ground. I saw a few more or less nearby and put them all in my backpack.
The two people were so happy that they were not even seeing the smile. In addition to the ghost orchid, they also dug up some cold orchid purple cloud. The purple flowers looked very valuable. It felt that if they collected some more exotic orchids, they could open an exhibition.
In my previous life, I really liked to hang out in places like botanical gardens, and I also liked to go to the zoo.
So she called the happy panda watching nearby and continued to tempt:
"Are the snacks delicious?"
The panda nodded and said, "It's delicious."
"Do you still want to eat?"
"Want to eat."
"Then help me find it, and I'll arrange it for you."
"Ah, still looking? Any kind of flower will do?"
Zhao Huanxi thought about it, patted the head of the cute giant panda and said, "It's up to you to decide. As long as it looks good, it's fine."
"Looks good, then I know, just follow me."
She put the orchid basket she had dug back where it was, gestured to Xu Qingzhao, and followed the panda's footsteps.
"Wait, Xiaopi, didn't you say there was something in the pool last time?"
Seeing the panda heading towards the cold pond over there, she was a little afraid to move her legs.
"Joy, what is it?"
Huanxi took two steps forward and explained to Xu Qingzhao, "The last time I came here, I was planning to look for medicine by the pond, but this guy stopped me, saying there were monsters in there. He wouldn't let me go, and now he's taking me there again. I'm confused."
"I see. Are you still going?"
Zhao Huanxi couldn't make up his mind either.
"Hurry up, that thing is not at home today!" Panda urged when he saw that the two were late.
Looking up, she saw the red flowers beside the cold pond beginning to attract her.
"Torch Ginger? Wow, this is a treasure trove."
Torch ginger, Zingiberaceae, has a more beautiful name, porcelain rose.
She still prefers the name "Porcelain Rose". The material of this flower really looks like the texture of porcelain. It has an upright posture, the inflorescence is as gorgeous as a torch, and the red and yellow petals sparkle in the sun.
"Qing Zhao, let's go dig it up and bring it home to start a botanical garden."
Xu Qingzhao didn't know what the botanical garden meant, but seeing Huanxi's intoxicated look, he followed Huanxi's footsteps to protect her safety.
This flower is quite tall, but fortunately the hoe I brought is small, so it is enough for me to dig it slowly.
The two men were digging so hard that they didn't notice the movement in the water.
At this moment, in the center of the cold pond, a pair of sharp eyes emerged from the water, staring intently in the direction of Huanxi and Xu Qingzhao.
Zhao Huanxi seemed to sense something at this time. He looked towards the place where the thing had just appeared in the water, but saw nothing.
Although she found nothing, she shuddered uncontrollably. So she held down Xu Qingzhao, who was digging vigorously, and shook her head, signaling her to stop moving.
Looking into the water, the feeling of being spied on came back.
"Qing Zhao... there's something in the water. Let's stop digging and go..."
So he took the torch ginger he had just dug and pulled Xu Qingzhao back step by step facing the cold pond.
"You dare to come to my territory and want to leave without saying hello?"
Only Huanxi could hear these words. Xu Qingzhao only heard the sound of the wind.
A feeling of fear arose in Huanxi's heart. The last time she had this feeling was when she first met Brother Tai.
So she quickly blocked Xu Qingzhao behind her. It was she who asked Qingzhao to come to the Wailing Cliff, and she couldn't let her get hurt. Otherwise, she would be guilty.
Xu Qingzhao was confused by Huanxi's actions, but then he heard Huanxi shouting righteously into the water:
"Who? Who's talking? Come out!"
"Huanhuan? What's wrong?"
Huanxi quickly covered her mouth and signaled her not to make any sound.
At this time, Tai Ge, Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai also sensed the uneasy mood in Huan Xi, so the large group hurried to the cold pond.
They all smelled the uneasy atmosphere in the air and looked towards the pool with alert eyes.
Xu Qingzhao finally understood that there really was something terrifying in the water. He drew his sword and looked seriously into the water.
At this moment, waves surged on the water surface, and the chirping of insects around them suddenly stopped, becoming extremely quiet. Even the air seemed to freeze a little.
When everything was completely silent, an indescribable chill quietly filled the air, as if even the faintest sound of the wind had solidified into a foreshadowing of fear.
Suddenly, a deep, eerie sound shattered the surrounding silence. Sometimes it was deep, like an ancient call, sometimes sharp, like a blade piercing the night sky, making one's heart tighten and the hairs on their backs stand on end. As the sound drew closer, an invisible pressure enveloped every corner, making even breathing become unnaturally heavy.
As the water moved, an invisible sense of oppression spread in the air.
Zhao Huanxi swallowed nervously. What on earth was this thing... How could it be so terrifying? It was several levels more terrifying than Brother Tai's aura.
"We just want to collect some medicinal herbs to make a living. We have no ill intentions. We hope that the great god will give us a way out."
Unfortunately, the monster in the water did not stop because of her words, and it stirred up even bigger waves. The dark figure inside also gradually emerged from the water.
A huge black dragon slowly emerged with the waves. Its eyes were like two burning green flames, deep and cold, as if it could see through the secrets and weaknesses of all things in the world. The scales on its body glowed with a faint blue light in the sunlight, and each scale looked like a carefully crafted armor, both beautiful and terrifying.
"Mortal, why do you have the aura of an immortal?"
The voice was like that of an elderly man, hoarse and intimidating.
Zhao Huanxi's breathing seemed to stagnate, and he said tremblingly:
"Great Immortal, I don't know either."
The black dragon swam out of the water and was only two feet away from Zhao Huanxi when Xiaoqing blocked her way.
"Ancestor Mingyuan, this mortal is a good friend of mine and a good person. Please forgive her and I will never trespass into your territory again."
Seeing Xiaoqing speaking up for him, Huanxi was deeply moved.
Then Taige and Xiaobai also stood in front of Huanxi. Taige was the king of the forest, and his pride did not allow him to beg for mercy. He simply took an attacking stance towards the black dragon.
Huanxi is its friend, and it likes Huanxi's touch the most. If this big snake dares to hurt Huanxi, it will step over its body. Thinking of this, it stared fiercely at the black dragon not far away.
Xiaobai, with his eyes wide open, looked like a silly dog, as if he didn't know what was happening.
Xiaobai: I don't know. I came here because I heard it was for extra credits. (Just kidding)
Xu Qingzhao felt a little scared holding the sword. This thing had lived for at least a hundred years. If he confronted it head-on, there would definitely be no good ending.
She could use her Qinggong to take her away, but what about these animals? These are her family members. Without them, she would definitely be very sad.
Seeing that everyone was on edge, Huanxi sighed, cleared his throat, and said loudly to the Black Dragon: "Ancestor of the Dark Abyss Snake, everyone has their own consequences. I decided to come here on my own initiative."
(Please give five-star praise and comment. Thank you very much)
