Zhu Haowen held the somewhat hot music box tightly with both hands, gently closed the lid of the box, and sealed the monstrous sound of the waves in the box.
At this time, between the water ripples carved on the lid of the box, a pattern of a dragon with wings appeared. This is a Yinglong that can draw the ground with its tail. Its long body maintains a dancing posture and huge wings. Draw a few arcs of the sea ripples, like a miracle.
Its mission in this world is probably to protect the sea from the raging fire of the sky.
Therefore, when the box was completely opened to it, it seemed to hear some kind of destiny's call, and then recklessly handed itself over to this small box. The pair of wings also carried the flames that remained to put out the sky fire.
Yinglong willingly turned himself into a pattern on the lid of the box.
Qin Ci looked at the pattern of the "Eight Monsters of the Sea" slowly gathering around the box lid and the box: from the first scorpion, then the clams, followed by the strange fish, the tortoises, the idols, the pegasus, until just now there were more This incredible dragon.
"I didn't expect that there are dragons in the sea monsters." Zhu Haowen planned to go back and check the information about the sea monsters.
Qin Ci said with emotion: "These sea monsters are not just as simple as patterns. In my opinion, they are like totems of life. They are guarding this sea area with their lives and souls."
Now there are seven sea monsters, and the last one does not know where to find it.
The flames in the sky are getting lower and lower, and the distance between the fire and the sea is only about seven or eight stories high.
The seawater began to heat up, and some fish and shrimps that could not stand this temperature fled for their lives as if it was the end of the world, as if the seawater was about to be heated to a boil, and eventually they would be boiled in one pot and become a delicacy for the god of fire.
"Time is running out. The only NPC we meet here is Monk Hai, but now Monk Hai's life and death are uncertain." Qin Ci has completely submerged in the sea, and the temperature on the sea surface is beginning to make people unsuitable, and the scalp even has a feeling of being scorched. a feeling of.
Zhu Haowen couldn't stand the feeling of doomsday. He immersed himself completely in the water and swam to the deeper sea. At this time, he spit out a blister at Qin Ci: "Some of these sea monsters are destined to meet, Some were found under the guidance of the Dragon Girl, and some were found only after being reminded by other sea monsters... We only have the last hour left, so we can't just wait."
Qin Ci also spit out a bubble: "Otherwise, let's go find the dragon girl again?"
"After the dragon girl gave us the dragon tendon, she limped into the depths of the pine forest," Zhu Haowen thought for a while, then spit out a small blister, "Let's try our luck with the big pine tree?"
Qin Ci nodded, and the two quickly swam towards the big pine tree together.
After swimming for a while at the bottom of the sea, the two of them surfaced and continued to swim forward. After a while, they saw the familiar pine forest. The huge ancient pine tree was still upright and tall, and the dark color was towering, making it easy to see at a glance. .
The clouds of fire that sprayed heat in the sky were getting lower and lower, and soon some of the flames touched the top of this large pine tree-the height of this tree was almost able to connect the fire and the sea at the moment.
The top of the big pine tree burned, and Qin Ci was a little anxious: "What should I do, this big pine tree has become a fuse, and the fire will soon be drawn down!"
Zhu Haowen felt that the water on the sea surface was getting hotter and hotter, and now he could only sink into the sea again. When he saw the scene under the sea, he hurriedly pulled Qin Ci's ankle and pulled it down.
It turned out that this giant pine can be said to stand above the sky, and part of its trunk is actually under the water, Qin Ci spat out a blister in surprise: "It's strange, when we met the dragon girl, she was obviously sitting under the pine tree to mend her clothes. , the land under the pine trees was above the water at that time, how can it sink to the bottom now?"
Zhu Haowen had several guesses in his heart, but he felt that there was no basis, so he simply didn't say it.
The two swam around the pine tree, and there was an old woman on the other side of the tree. The old woman was sitting under the tree in the water as if on land-because it was too sudden, neither of them were surprised.
Even at the bottom of the sea, you can still see clearly that this old woman is the dragon girl who gave the two dragon tendons before.
The dragon girl is not mending her clothes now, but sitting under the pine tree in a daze, occasionally looking up at the burning pine tree, with a sad expression on the bright world of fire on the water.
Zhu Haowen and Qin Ci slowly swam over, and neither of them made a sound.
Instead, Long Nv looked at the two blankly, and slowly spit out a blister: "If I had mended my son's clothes earlier, he would not have been burned to death by the fire that day."
"Your son..." Qin Ci saw Zhu Haowen breaking the dragon girl's blisters, but he could also hear the dragon girl's voice.
"Have you seen that long-winged fire dragon? That's my son who is extinguishing the fire in the sky." The dragon girl's gray-white eyes no longer had any look, "But now, my son died in the sea of fire and can't come back. ."
Zhu Haowen thought about it, and then showed the box to the dragon girl.
The dragon girl looked at the totem of the dragon on the lid of the box, her eyes gradually brightened, and even crystal tears dripped down, and those tears slowly melted into the water like blisters.
"You guys are about to collect all the sea monsters," Long Nv raised her head and spat out a blister, "It's still the last one."
Qin Ci Biaobu: "So we come to beg you again, I hope you can give us some pointers. If the sea monsters can be gathered earlier, the fire will be gone sooner."
The dragon girl looked up at the burning big pine tree, and smiled: "Maybe this is fate."
The big pine tree was burned by the sky fire, and at this moment it has become a huge fire tree, and some things are dripping from the tree. sinking.
Zhu Haowen reached out and caught a drop, which felt like thick honey, and twisted it with his hand, thinking that it should be pine resin.
Some of these drops of pine resin are big and some small, those big drops are almost the size of a person's palm, and the small ones are only as small as a small raindrop.
Qin Ci suddenly spit out a blister anxiously: "Where's the dragon girl? Why is the dragon girl gone?!"
In such an instant, the dragon girl disappeared.
The giant pine trunks in the water are like a fantasy, while the fire trees burning above the water are more like a fantasy.
Zhu Haowen seemed to have suddenly discovered something. He didn't have time to pay attention to the blisters that Qin Ci spat out, but rushed straight down to the depths of the seabed.
Qin Ci followed closely behind, and the two were like two arrows shot into the water.
After a while, Zhu Haowen stopped rushing down, as if he had caught something in his hand.
Qin Ci didn't have time to spit blisters, and stared at Zhu Haowen at the moment, asking the other party's purpose for doing so with his eyes.
Zhu Haowen, with an unbelievable expression on his face, opened his palm and let Qin Ci see what was in his palm.
Qin Ci looked over and saw that Zhu Haowen had a piece of pine resin in his palm, but he still didn't understand it for a while.
Zhu Haowen spurted out a blister: "Look carefully, what's in it?"
Qin Ci took this pine resin and used the fire on the water to illuminate it. He saw that the whole body of the pine resin had the color of diluted Pu'er tea, and it felt very hard. I don't know how it quickly condensed itself. .
In the center of this pine resin, there seems to be something vaguely vague, Qin Ci looked carefully, it was actually a person - a young woman in ancient costume, with a fairy-like high-ring bun, wearing fairy-like clothes, The coat is fluttering, and the color practice is curling.
"This is..." Qin Ci spat out a faint blister with difficulty, because everything was so miraculous that he really didn't know how to express it in words.
Zhu Haowen blisters: "This is the Dragon Girl, what the Dragon Girl looked like when she was young."
Qin Ci observed carefully, only then did he see a pair of dragon horns from the high head above the fairy's head.
Could it be that a drop of pine resin fell into the water just now, wrapping the dragon girl up? It turned into an amber.
Why did the dragon girl turn herself into an amber
Zhu Haowen's eyes were very complicated. He slowly put the amber inlaid with the dragon girl into the box.
Soon, the box glowed blue.
On the lid of the box, next to the dancing Yinglong Totem, the dragon girl sat there in a young image, bowing her head to mend her clothes.
Unexpectedly, the last of the sea monsters is actually the dragon girl.
"It takes thousands of years for a piece of pine resin to condense into amber," Qin Ci spit out a blister after a while, "Could it be that we just rushed into the water, and it took a thousand years?"
Suddenly, the fire on the water disappeared.
The two slowly swam up, and the fish and shrimp, who had been running for their lives in panic a few minutes ago, have now returned to their natural composure.
Above the sea, there is a long-lost tranquility and coolness.
"The waves are calm, the golden scales are swimming! The sky is full of light!" Qin Ci couldn't believe the scene in front of him. The fire in the sky seemed to have never happened before. It seems that the peace here has lasted for hundreds of years and thousands of years. , even tens of thousands of years.
Zhu Haowen: "It's all over my back..."
Qin Ci: "..."
Once the sea monsters are gathered, they can really suppress the fire of the sky and preserve the sea.
It turned out that this was not just an empty legend.
Zhu Haowen is holding that strange music box in his hand, and every totem on it can be admired for a long time.
It's a pity that the two of them don't have much time and mood to appreciate these.
Zhu Haowen opened the music box, and the sound of huge waves sounded again. Accompanying these sounds was a small fragment lying quietly at the bottom of the box.
Qin Ci picked up the piece and saw a wave of the sea deeply carved on the broken wood.
