After arguing with Zhuge Chanjuan, Nanfeng moved his gaze to the southeast of the swamp. At this time, the small Taoist temple was already seven feet out of the water. The last time the toad sprayed poisonous mist when the Taoist temple was nine feet out of the water, and now there are still two feet left. Li Chaozong and others should be unable to catch up.
After looking at the small Taoist temple and then looking at the people on the shore, Zheng Qi and others naturally would not think that Li Chaozong's party came to drink tea and socialize with them. Seeing that powerful opponents were coming, including Zheng Qi and his wife. Most of the people looked panicked, but some didn't panic. The old man in gray and the man in red were whispering and talking, and they didn't know what they were talking about.
Li Chaozong and others had already discovered Zheng Qi and others on the edge of the swamp. They also saw the small Taoist temple in the swamp. Their movement speed increased significantly, and they were closer to five miles in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the old man in gray and the man in red jumped out at the same time. The old man in gray flew forward, while the man in red jumped into the water.
The gray-clothed old man's Qi is lavender, and he can fly farther than ordinary warriors. However, flying in the air also requires landing on the ground to use force. The lavender Qi of the mountain can be swept out for two miles, and the purple Qi of the cave can be swept five miles away. It is too deep. Zi can reach eight miles away with one force. This person has lavender aura and can only reach two miles away. The Toad Queen is five to six miles away from the shore and he cannot reach it in one leap.
In the blink of an eye, the doubts in Nanfeng's heart were replaced by surprise. The man in red immediately dived under the water after entering the water. There was no figure visible above the water. He could only see a torrent chopping the waves and moving forward quickly. This man had reached the level of water quality. To a shocking level, he could move underwater faster than a flying fish, even as fast as the old man in gray who flew through the air.
"The person under the water should be the brocade-clad angry dragon from Luoxia Mountain." Zhuge Chanjuan said.
Nanfeng has heard of this name before. There are seven sects in the south of the Yangtze River, and Luoxia Mountain ranks sixth. It is said that everyone in Luoxia Mountain has the blood of the sharks. Now it seems that the rumors are not true. No matter how good the water nature of a person is, it is impossible. Reached this point.
As soon as Zhuge Chanjuan finished speaking, the old man in gray clothes suddenly fell to the water, but underneath was black water and there was no place to stay.
The moment the old man in gray clothes fell into the water, the waves in the water surged forward and accelerated below him. The old man in gray clothes took advantage of the man in red clothes, stepped on him, lifted up again, and continued to sweep forward.
Only then did Nanfeng realize that the two men were working together. The man in red had inspected the black water to determine whether he could tolerate the toxicity of the black water.
The old man in gray and the man in red obviously wanted to enter the Taoist temple and get the tortoise shell before Li Chaozong and others arrived. In order to speed up, the man in gray did not wait for two miles to exhaust himself, but would use his strength to accelerate every other mile. Like an arrow from a string, it rushed towards the Taoist temple in the swamp.
"Can the Toad Queen's poisonous mist poison a purple energy master?" Nanfeng asked. The two of them cooperated so well that Li Chaozong and others had no time to stop them. The two of them must be quick when approaching the Taoist temple to retrieve the tortoise shell. The only thing that can stop them now is the poisonous mist spewed by the Toad Queen.
"That depends on whether they can hold their breath." Zhuge Chanjuan said casually.
"What if you don't hold your breath?" Nanfeng asked.
"Then just wait for death." Zhuge Chanjuan was very sure.
Seeing Nan Feng's doubtful expression, Zhuge Chanjuan added, "Purple Qi is not as powerful as you think. They are also afraid of poison."
While the two were talking, the old man in gray and the man in red had already approached the Taoist temple on the back of the toad. Perhaps they were wary of the queen of toad, but the man in red did not get too close. They were still about a mile away from the queen of toad. The place sent the old man in gray off for the last journey, and then stayed where he was.
The old man in gray took advantage of his strength and jumped into the air, landing on the roof of the Taoist temple without any bias.
At this time, the Taoist temple was already more than eight feet out of the water. Although there was not much time left, it was enough for this person to quickly take action and take away the turtle shell.
It was a rare opportunity. After the old man in gray stood firm, he immediately turned back and gathered his strength and punched the roof.
What Nanfeng didn't expect was that the spiritual energy-infused punch of the old man in gray could not break the roof. Although the golden tiles had the shape of tiles, they were not laid in a single row. They were probably a complete piece of metal. It just outlines the shape of the tile from the outside.
After the first blow failed, the old man in gray clothes did not try again, but decisively changed to another method. He clung to the cornice with one hand, bent his knees, and kicked the white jade wall with all his strength.
This person kicked the east wall of the Taoist temple. The two were located in the northwest and could not see clearly. However, the figure of the old man in gray did not disappear after the kick, which meant that he had not broken through the wall.
The gray-clothed old man struck twice in succession without any success, but after alarming the Xuanhuang Toad, the latter accelerated its rise, exposed its mouth and nose and sprayed out poisonous mist.
This poisonous mist is just the dirty air accumulated in the body of the Queen Toad. The Queen Toad does not spray the poisonous mist to hurt people, but just to breathe.
But although it had no intention of harming anyone, its poisonous turbid air caused great harm to the old man in gray. As soon as the poisonous mist appeared, the old man in gray immediately raised his arms to protect his mouth and nose. The reaction should not be unpleasant, but that The poisonous mist was so toxic that it could block the mouth and nose. The poison had already taken effect, and the left hand that was clinging to the cornice was unable to loosen, and he immediately fell into the water.
Seeing this situation, the man in red who was waiting in the distance immediately came to the rescue. He found the old man in gray from the water and carried him back quickly.
The two of them had seen the Toad Queen take a breath before, but the angle was wrong at that time and the view was not very clear. This time, the angle was right. Although they had never seen the true face of the Toad Queen, they saw two big eyes and two big eyes. The nostrils and eyes of frogs are inherently big, and the two eyes of the toad queen are even scarier, much bigger than the lanterns carried for lighting at night. The two nostrils are as big as chimneys, and the two jets of black mist are spaced apart. More than a foot.
The shape of the toad queen can be roughly inferred from the distance between the two nostrils. The length of the toad queen is still uncertain, but the width of the body is at least three feet, making it an out-and-out behemoth.
Fearing that the tortoise shell would be taken by others, Li Chaozong used his wings when he was still ten miles away from the swamp. He rushed to the top of the Taoist temple before the toad queen sank, and punched the roof eagerly.
I don't know what kind of metal this roof is made of. Even though he possessed Taixuan spiritual energy, he could not successfully break it open. Instead, it caused the Toad Queen to sink faster.
Li Chaozong felt this. He hugged the corner of the cornice with both hands and flapped his wings vigorously, trying to peel off the Taoist temple from Toad's back. However, his move was in vain. Queen Toad still sank rapidly with the Taoist temple.
Li Chaozong did not persist until the end. Seeing that he could not succeed, he could only let go in the middle, flutter his wings and fly north, only to take a long breath when he was in the limelight.
"This old man still knows how to hold his breath." Nan Feng felt very regretful.
"One was poisoned earlier, and he is not blind." Zhuge Chanjuan caught a spider somewhere and played with it in her hand. Seeing Nan Feng frowning, she used the spider to scare him.
Although he knew that Zhuge Chanjuan would not really poison him, he was still very repelled by Nanfeng. He turned away and said, "Don't make trouble, do business first."
Zhuge Chanjuan turned her head and looked to the southeast. At this time, the man in red had already carried the old man in gray out of the water and ashore. The men in black carrying large tanks immediately came over and poured water on the two of them.
"It turns out that the tank is filled with water." Nanfeng said.
"In hindsight, Zhuge Liang." Zhuge Chanjuan used a spider to scare Nanfeng again. Nanfeng got annoyed, so she grabbed it and threw it aside.
The people on the shore didn't know how powerful the poisonous mist was, but the man in red had seen it before. He might have said something to everyone after they got ashore. Hearing this, Zheng Qi and others hurriedly moved north to avoid the poisonous mist that was coming.
Li Chaozong didn't regret missing the turtle shell, so he folded his wings and flew eastward to meet up with his accomplices who came later.
Li Chaozong and others naturally discovered Zheng Qi and others, and Zheng Qi and others also discovered Li Chaozong's party, but the two sides did not visit each other, nor did they fight. Li Chaozong and others rested from the northeast, and Zheng Qi and others Occupying due east, the two sides are separated by seven or eight miles.
These two groups of people were new here, and they didn't know the rules of Queen Toad's ventilation, so they could only wait and see.
After stabilizing their position, Zheng Qi released a group of carrier pigeons. Li Chaozong and others also saw them releasing the carrier pigeons, but they did not intercept them and allowed the carrier pigeons to fly away eastward.
"Why didn't they stop those homing pigeons?" Nanfeng was a little confused.
"There are not many powerful characters in the Liang Kingdom's martial arts world, and they can't hire any experts if they bring in reinforcements." Zhuge Chanjuan handed the dry food to Nanfeng, "Besides, Li Chaozong has a relationship with the Taiqing Sect, and the Taiqing Sect is the landlord of the Liang Kingdom. With their support, Li Chaozong has nothing to fear."
Nanfeng frowned and looked at Zhuge Chanjuan. This guy had picked up a spider before and didn't wash his hands. Take it, disgusting panic. Don't take it, because you are afraid that Zhuge Chanjuan will say that he is a beggar and is being pretentious.
"Take it." Zhuge Chanjuan didn't know what Nanfeng was thinking.
"You took the spider, I don't want it." Nanfeng took a rice cake from the bag.
Zhuge Chanjuan glanced at Nanfeng with disdain, then reached out and touched all the remaining dry food in the bag.
"There is no one worse than you." Nanfeng said helplessly.
"I thought you were praising me." Zhuge Chanjuan felt very unhappy.
Nanfeng chewed the rice cake and said, "Based on your understanding of Li Chaozong, why didn't he attack Zheng Qi and others?"
Zhuge Chanjuan said casually, "I don't know if it's vegetarian or not. Is it necessary to kill people? This old guy can't afford to start early if there is no profit. He won't do anything that is useless. There are so many masters on their side, Zheng Qi and others People are no threat to them.”
"He also suffered a lot from being careless and underestimating the enemy." Nanfeng said with a smile. If others didn't tell him, he had tricked Li Chaozong several times.
"Zheng Qi and the others cannot get the tortoise shell because they are lucky. If they get it, the old man will immediately turn against him, and none of these people will survive." Zhuge Chanjuan said.
"It's not certain who will live and who will die. The mantis is chasing the cicada and the oriole is behind. Don't forget there are them." Nanfeng pursed his lips at the place where the two Shangqing Taoists were hiding.
"That's right, the old thing has a grudge against the Shangqing Sect, but Yan Feixue is confronting Long Yunzi at the border, and she may not have time to get away." Zhuge Chanjuan said.
Nanfeng nodded, "This matter is of great importance. Even if Yan Feixue doesn't come in person, the ones sent must be ruthless people. They are really here, and Li Chaozong doesn't dare to do anything to them. He was beaten last time It's not embarrassing enough for someone to block the door. If he jumps around again, he'll have to take care of his nest."
Zhuge Chanjuan is not a person who follows others, "I finally understand. You hate this old guy so much that you hate him so much. Stop being so cruel here. If you really have the ability, go over and spar with him."
Nanfeng glared displeased, "I am only eighteen after this year, and he is almost eighty, older than my grandfather. He has taken advantage of me for sixty years. Am I stupid to fight him?"
"If you don't dare to fight, don't make excuses." Zhuge Chanjuan deliberately made him angry.
"It's not fair for me to fight him. You bring his grandson here." Nanfeng said.
Zhuge Chanjuan smiled and poked at Nan Feng, "Stop beating your grandson. Beat your son if you can."
"Don't underestimate me, give me seven years, and I'll make him the same as the fourth generation." Nanfeng also laughed, Zhuge Chanjuan could always make him feel good and bad.
After laughing, Zhuge Chanjuan said, "Do you think anyone else will come next?"
Nanfeng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Except for the dozen or so Taoist priests from the Shangqing Sect, I'm afraid no one else will come."
"Won't Taiqing and Yuqing come?" Zhuge Chanjuan asked.
Nanfeng shook his head again, "Probably not. I suspect that the Yuqing Sect is competing with the Shangqing Sect in the north for tortoise shells. Even if they want to come, they can't come so fast. The Taiqing Sect and Li Chaozong wear a pair of trousers, and Li Chaozong is here , what else are they mixing in?"
The Queen Toad appeared at Sishi, and should appear again in the afternoon. Nanfeng had eaten dry food and took the opportunity to take a nap.
Not long after, Zhuge Chanjuan woke him up and said, "Here he comes."
Nanfeng opened his eyes and looked to the northeast as pointed by Zhuge Chanjuan. He saw a lot of purple energy moving quickly towards this place. He carefully counted eight of them, all of which were lavender. One of them was purple with black in it. It's alien.
"It's Taoist Shangqing, but it's not the ones I saw before." Nanfeng raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
"Look, why is there a girl among them?" Zhuge Chanjuan pointed.
"That's not a girl, it's a dwarf..."
