When the little princess heard that she was asked to go to the Holy Snow Peak first, her elder brother was not happy at first, but when she heard that Tang Lie wanted to escort her personally, she immediately became happy, pretended to resist a few words, and then complied with the second brother's decision.
Po Kong unfolded an ancient map and signaled Tang Lie and the little princess to come to him. He pointed at the map and said: "This is where we are," he pointed his finger along the map to the southwest end and tapped lightly. : "This is the Holy Snow Peak,"
The little princess had been to Holy Snow Peak once before and said softly: "It takes at least seven days and seven nights to get to Holy Snow Peak from here."
Po Kong said: "I will have people escort you to Caiyun Lake and from there into Sen'er Canyon. Although this road is tortuous and difficult, it is inaccessible and relatively safe.
Tang Lie nodded. Under the current situation, choosing such a path is the most realistic and feasible.
Po Kong solemnly explained: "There is one thing you must remember. There is an ancient tunnel in the Sen'er Canyon, which was once a place where gods and demons fought. According to our elders, it has been abandoned for many years and has been subject to a terrible curse. Shrouded, a long time ago, was listed as a forbidden area by our elves, and you must avoid it.
Tang Lie smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't cause that trouble."
After everything was prepared, Terra Nu was responsible for sending Tang Lie and the others out of the cave. Lanzhi and the two elf children also headed to the Holy Snow Peak with the little princess.
Caiyun Lake is like a bright gem lying quietly in the embrace of the psychedelic forest. The area of the lake is not large, but it is very deep. The entire lake shows an ocean-like deep blue, quietly hidden among the green trees. There was no wave in the sky, and the cloud shadows in the sky were quietly projected on the lake. At first glance, it seemed as if the clouds were moving on the lake.
Everything around was so quiet that everyone's long-suppressed mood naturally relaxed.
Tang Lie held up a handful of cool lake water, washed away the dust from his face, and said softly: "It would be great if there was no war."
Puni sighed and said: "There is no truly peaceful place on this continent. Wherever there are people, there will be fights, and where there are fights, there will be bloodshed."
Tang Lie nodded slowly. He had been in the continent of Grandia for a long time, and he was deeply touched by Puni's words, but he had always wanted to escape from the war and bloodshed. He couldn't help but think deeply. , even if he arrived at the legendary Nadar Plain, would he really be able to find peace and ease? He was not sure, and he did not dare to think about it, because he already felt how slim this hope was.
The little princess could tell from Tang Lie's complicated expression that he was not at peace at the moment, and said softly: "Tang Lie, are you going to never come back after you arrive at the Nadar Plain?"
Tang Lie's eyes fell on the surface of the lake, which was as unpredictable as the deep lake water: "I have never thought about what will happen tomorrow. All I can see is the road under my feet..."
The Sen'er Canyon is far more tortuous and difficult than what Pokong described. The long-abandoned road is covered with gravel and thorns, and every step forward becomes extremely difficult.
Pugang Puni and Tang Lie took turns clearing the way at the front of the team. Although their physical strength was strong, under the scorching sun, the energy in their bodies was also depleted very quickly along with the water.
The little princess wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Tang Lie, why don't you call your dragon and let it fly over with us?"
Tang Lie swung his knife to cut off the thorns in front of him, turned around and said with a smile: "Your second brother and I are sworn brothers, you should probably call me Brother Tang."
The little princess wrinkled her lovely nose and said, "It's better to call you Tang Lie more affectionately. Besides, you may not be older than me."
Tang Lie smiled calmly and said: "When people live in this world, it is better to endure a little more training. There is a saying that only by enduring hardship can one become a master." Staring at the pretty face of the little princess, he suddenly thought of another thing about the master. There is a layer of meaning, and I thought to myself: "What a joy it would be to become this little girl's master."
The little princess's heart beat wildly at Tang Lie's scorching gaze, and she said coquettishly: "What do you think I'm going to do?"
Tang Lie suddenly woke up and felt ashamed in his heart. After all, the little princess was also his sworn brother's sister. How could he have such lustful thoughts? He secretly cursed himself for being shameless. He hurriedly avoided the little princess and slashed forward absentmindedly with his sword. He never thought The skin of the palm was scratched by thorns, and the dragon-slaying knife fell to the ground with a scream.
The little princess was very nervous. She was the first to rush to Tang Lie, held his big hand and said worriedly: "Tang Lie, how are you? Are you injured?" The concern was beyond words.
Tang Lie felt warm in his heart and shook his head.
Only then did the little princess realize that she had lost her composure. She turned around and looked around. Pu Gang, Lan Zhi, and the others all had unspoken smiles on their faces. Their pretty faces felt feverish, and they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Tang Lie was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so he changed the subject and said, "Let's take a rest and replenish some water and dry food before we leave." He picked up the dragon-slaying knife and strode to the side of the rock to sit down.
The little princess hesitated for a moment but then walked over. Regardless of the eyes of everyone, she took Tang Lie's big hand and carefully used the flying needle to help him pick out the thorns that were deep in his skin, and then took out the Elf Tears.
Tang Lie smiled and said: "No, this little burr is nothing. Don't waste your elixir." He was so cunning, he had already seen that the little princess had subtle feelings for him.
The two elf children happily chased each other among the rocks. Lanzhi took out the water bag and handed it to each of them.
Tang Lie drank a few sips, wiped his lips and said, "I'm afraid we'll have to stay in this canyon for a few more days."
The little princess complained: "If I had known that this road was so difficult, I might as well have chosen another road."
Just as Tang Lie was about to speak, his heart suddenly started beating faster. A picture of a team marching appeared in his mind. This was a team of about two thousand orcs. At the front of the team were six tough men. The armored monsters took on the responsibility of opening the way, using their tough skin and huge soles to flatten the thorns and gravel, followed closely by the 1,500 orc infantry who marched through the trampled thorns. The tough and thick skin was not afraid of the obstruction of thorns at all. They were responsible for the second cleanup and appearance. At the rear, there was a wolf cavalry of about 500 people, marching slowly on the road opened by the orcs.
Tang Lie quickly realized that this was the signal sent to him by Xiao Bailong. He suddenly stood up and said loudly: "No, there are enemies coming towards our position from Sen'er Canyon."
Others did not have Tang Lie's perception, and they all looked at him with doubt. Tang Lie closed his eyes and communicated with Xiao Bailong in his mind. The enemy was still more than ten miles away from them, and the team almost filled the entire canyon. , wherever they went, thorns and rocks were completely flattened by them, with a strong tendency to destroy everything.
Although the Sen'er Canyon is full of thorns and rocks, the canyon is too narrow and there is no suitable place to hide. Tang Lie took out the map given to him by Po Kong from his bag, and placed his fingers heavily on the right side. Clicked: "It seems we have no choice but to hide here,"
The little princess exclaimed: "You are going to that ancient tunnel,"
Tang Lie nodded, and the elves, including the two children, all showed frightened expressions. For them, the terrifying legend of the ancient tunnel had long been ingrained in their minds.
Tang Lie said categorically: "The enemy's army is about to crush here, and we have no other choice."
Puni agreed: "Even if the ancient tunnel is really as scary as the second prince said, we can enter the tunnel entrance to hide for a while, and then return here after the enemy passes by,"
Lanzhi said with worry: "But our ancestors have listed that place as a forbidden area..."
The little princess said softly: "This is the only thing we can do now. I will explain this matter to my father in the future."
Tang Lie smiled calmly and said, "If you don't tell me, and I don't tell you, how will it reach your father's ears?"
The little princess was very surprised by everything that was coming, not to mention that with Tang Lie by her side, Fang didn't feel any fear in her heart. She secretly thought that no matter what danger appeared, Tang Lie would protect her.
Following the marks on the map, Tang Lie led everyone through the rocks and walked to the right side of the canyon. After walking diagonally to the right for about a mile, a patch of rocks appeared in front of them. Pu Gang and Puni worked together to lift the rocks blocking the road. When they were almost approaching the tunnel, a huge rock blocked the entrance.
The two of them worked together to push away the huge rock, but the huge rock was too heavy. They tried their best to move it even an inch, and they encountered such an obstacle again.
Tang Lie circled around the huge rock. The length, width and height of this rock were about five meters each. It was difficult to move it with human power. He drew out his dragon-slaying knife and said loudly: "You go further, and I will split it." it,"
Everyone hurriedly retreated to a place ten meters away. Tang Lie gathered the strength of his arms, held the dragon-slaying knife with both hands and raised it above his head. The blue sword flame quickly rose and burned around the dragon-slaying knife, and with his roar, The body jumped up in the air, and the dragon-slaying knife came down from a high position and struck the giant rock with all its strength.
The dragon-slaying knife containing powerful energy cleaved into the giant rock like breaking a bamboo, and then the energy radiated rapidly from the blade to the surroundings. The huge mountain rock was blown into pieces by the sudden expansion of the powerful force. Amidst the smoke, a two-person sword appeared behind the giant rock. A square stone door.
Tang Lie raised the dragon-slaying knife and prepared to swing it again, trying to split the stone door open, but he heard the little princess scream: "Wait a minute,"
Tang Lie was slightly startled, his hands raised high froze above his head.
The little princess immediately rushed to Tang Lie's side, pointed to the stone door and said: "The one carved on it is the True God Yuan Hena,"
Only then did Tang Lie notice that there was indeed a statue carved on the stone gate. It must be the true god Yuan Hena that the little princess mentioned.
The expressions of the little princess and Lanzhi became extremely respectful. They clasped their hands together and saluted the statue of the god with reverence. The two elf children also followed their example and saluted the statue of the god respectfully.
Tang Lie was angry and funny. Who would have thought that something like this would happen again at the critical moment? You must know that Yuan Hena is in the hearts of elves just like Jesus is in the hearts of Christians. It is natural for them to want to destroy the stone gate with a knife. Very disrespectful.
Puni was lying on the ground with one ear close to the ground. He had already felt the slight vibration of the ground. The enemy's pace was getting closer and closer. He reminded loudly: "Master, the enemy is almost here,"
Tang Lie looked at the little princess anxiously.
The little princess's eyes fell on the strange characters carved around the stone statue. Except for the Elf King's direct family, no one else knew these characters. They were in ancient Elf language. The little princess secretly claimed to be strange and recited softly: " The distant wind, blow away the dust that has covered me for thousands of years, Cassia,"
As soon as she finished speaking, the stone door slowly moved away, revealing a dark cave entrance. A gloomy cold wind blew out from the cave entrance. Everyone, including Tang Lie, couldn't help but shudder.
Although Tang Lie didn't believe the alarmist words Po Kong had said to him before, he couldn't help but feel heavy when he saw the scene in front of him.
At this time, the ground began to tremble slightly, and the Gulie tribe's army was getting closer and closer to them, and would soon pass by them.
Tang Lie said loudly: "There is no time. He took the lead to pass between the little princess and Lanzhi and strode into the tunnel.
The little princess hesitated for a moment and then followed Tang Lie into the tunnel. Lanzhi and Puni each held an elf child and followed the little princess. Pugang stayed at the end. He turned around and took a look into the canyon in the distance, only to see dust and smoke. In the air, six huge monsters were marching towards this side side by side.
Pu Gang was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue and hurriedly rushed into the tunnel.
Tang Lie whispered: "Everyone, please don't get separated. Come to me." He ordered Pu Gang: "Pu Gang, block the middle of the stone door with stones to prevent them from closing..." His words were not finished. Falling, the two stone doors suddenly closed in the middle. Pu Gang and Puni rushed towards the stone door at the same time. Unfortunately, when they came to the front of the stone door, the stone door had already been closed again. Looking at the stone door again, the gap was almost invisible, and there was no focus at all. .
The little princess took off the luminous pearl on the oath and illuminated the back of the stone door. However, she saw that the stone door was smooth and flat, completely different from the one she saw just when she entered the door. There were no patterns on it. She whispered: "The distant wind, blowing Go away from the dust that has covered me for thousands of years, Cassia," Shimen remained motionless. It seemed that this spell could only be used once.
The little princess reluctantly recited it again, but there was still no movement at the stone gate.
Tang Lie secretly complained in his heart, but his expression remained calm and composed. He was the one everyone relied on. If he showed any worries, it would probably affect the mood of others. Tang Lie smiled and said: "It seems that your Yuan Hena The true God wants us to go all the way,”
The ground suddenly shook. The little princess was unsteady on her feet and almost fell backwards. Fortunately, Tang Lie hugged her body in time. In a hurry, his big hand touched the little princess's elastic breasts. She screamed, and then her pretty face turned red with embarrassment. Fortunately, no one else noticed this in the darkness. She gently broke away from Tang Lie's arms, and Miao Mu was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look up at Tang Lie.
Tang Lie accidentally touched her sensitive part, and his mind was shaken. He didn't expect that the little princess had fully developed into a young girl.
At this time, Tang Lie's eyesight had gradually adapted to the dark environment, and he was keenly aware that a huge creature was approaching the direction of the stone gate.
He reminded the little princess loudly: "Get out of there quickly,"
The little princess was about to leave when a huge force hit the stone door hard, causing the whole world to shake. The little princess' delicate body could not withstand such a shock, and was shaken off the ground and flew up. Tang Lie opened his arms to pick her up, but was hit hard by the little princess's delicate body. The two hugged each other and fell to the ground.
The little princess's elastic breasts pressed tightly against Tang Lie's strong chest. In the darkness, she could clearly feel Tang Lie's rapid breathing and suddenly accelerated heartbeat.
The back of Tang Lie's head hit the hard ground so hard that he almost fainted. He was confused for a while and said loudly: "They must have discovered it." Looking up, he saw that the stone door was extremely solid and was protected by such a powerful collision force. There was still no damage at all, so I felt relieved.
He leaned close to the little princess's lovely apricot-leaf ear and whispered: "Have you pressed enough? I want to get up."
The little princess was shy and anxious. She suddenly lowered her head and bit Tang Lie hard on the ear. Tang Lie screamed and attracted everyone's attention at the same time.
"Master, are you okay?" Puni asked with concern.
Tang Lie stood up cheerfully and said with a smile: "It's okay, a little bug bit me." Taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, he quietly pinched the little princess's plump buttocks, and the little princess shyly bowed to him. She climbed up, but her heart felt extremely sweet.
Although the tunnel was dark, the air was not dirty. There should be many secret vents for ventilation. Pu Gang took out the torch he had prepared in advance and lit it with flint, illuminating everything around him.
This is a square stone corridor with various weird patterns carved on the stone walls. Unlike the statues seen at the stone gate, even the little princess has never seen the patterns here and the words engraved around it.
Tang Lie suddenly stretched out his arm, signaling to stop temporarily, and whispered: "Close your eyes." The little princess and Lanzhi closed their eyes. Pu Gang and Puni covered the eyes of the elf children respectively. Tang Lie pulled the Picking up the little princess's catkins, she walked slowly forward. Dozens of skeletons lay scattered on the ground in front of her. Judging from their shapes, they should belong to several different ethnic groups.
Puni picked up an iron sword from the ground, blew away the dust, and inserted it into the backpack behind him.
After walking through the group of bones, a huge stone hall appeared in front. On both sides of the passage in the middle of the stone hall, there were stone statues about three meters high placed at regular intervals. Due to the age, the stone statues were covered with cobweb dust. Silk.
The little princess whispered: "What exactly is this place?"
Tang Lie shook his head and said, "There were no detailed marks on the map your second brother gave me." He vaguely heard the sound of wind and waves ahead, but this was clearly a tunnel in the mountains. How could there be water? It's my own illusion.
"There is the sound of water waves," the little princess said softly. Her words proved that Tang Lie was not delusional just now.
The elf child lying on Pu Gang suddenly said: "The stone statue is moving."
Pu Gang smiled and said: "How is that possible?" He looked in the direction the child pointed, but saw the stone statue above his head standing there motionless. He couldn't help scolding: "You kid, are you trying to lie to me?"
At this time, the stone statue suddenly jumped down from a high place, and stabbed Pu Gang's chest hard with the spear in his hand.
The astonishing change only occurred in an instant. Puni was closest to Pugang. He roared, moved his arms towards the spear, accurately grasped the head of the spear, summoned his strength, lifted the stone statue high, and threw it around in a circle. It went out and hit the pedestal in front of it heavily. The stone statue was smashed into pieces, and dark red blood oozed from the cracked parts.
The stone statues in the hall came to life almost at the same time. They raised their weapons and surrounded Tang Lie and the others from all directions.
Tang Lie ordered loudly: "Puni, you are responsible for protecting the little princess and the others." The tiger body rushed out first and faced a stone statue about three meters tall.
The stone statue picked up a huge hammer with both hands and knocked it down on Tang Lie's head. The dragon-slaying knife in Tang Lie's hand struck the hammer like lightning. The sharp edge cut off the hammer head. The hammer head continued to move and hit Tang Lie. On top of another stone statue behind him, the head of the stone statue was smashed into pieces, and the tall body shook and fell to the ground.
Tang Lie moved flexibly and quickly walked around behind the stone statue. He slashed the dragon-slaying knife across its waist and cut the stone statue into two pieces.
Although these stone statues were extremely powerful, their movements were very clumsy. Tang Lie and Pu Gang worked together to quickly fight their way out, with Puni, the little princess guard Lanzhi and the two elf children following closely behind them.
Finally reaching the end of the hall, Pu Gang smashed the stone door in front of him with a punch. Tang Lie swung his knife and split a stone statue in half that was about to rush to him, and shouted: "Get out of here quickly."
The two stone statues, one on the left and the other on the right, swung their machetes towards Tang Lie. Tang Lie cut off the arm holding the knife on the left stone statue with one knife. His left fist gathered strength and suddenly hit the side of the machete on the right. The iron machete was struck by Tang Lie. Hunter punched the statue and bent it to ninety degrees. Before the stone statue could attack again, the dragon-slaying knife in Tang Hunter's hand slashed through their legs one after another. The stone statue that had lost its legs suddenly became half shorter and staggered to the ground. On the ground.
Looking at the blood flowing out of the broken limbs of the stone statues, Tang Lie shook his head in disbelief. Why were these lifeless stone statues bleeding out?
Pu Gang ran at the front to lead the way, while Tang Lie stayed at the rear. Fortunately, the stone statues did not dare to chase them out of the hall.
Convinced that the stone statues had given up chasing, Tang Lie slowed down. At this time, the sound of waves in front became clearer and clearer. A pool with a diameter of about twenty meters appeared in front of them. There was no wind around, but the water in the pool was The waves were rough, and a stone beam about half a meter wide stretched across the pool. This was the only way to reach the other side.
Tang Lie signaled Pu Gang to pass through the stone beam first. Pu Gang walked over cautiously and did not see any abnormal changes. It seemed that there was no hidden mechanism on the stone beam.
Pu Gang returned and Puni escorted Lanzhi and the two elf children through the stone beam. Tang Lie and Xuan Bo followed closely. When they walked to the middle of the stone beam, the waves in the pool suddenly became larger, and the water waves stirred up. It was five meters high, and the water splashed out, soaking their clothes.
Tang Lie said loudly: "Look ahead, keep walking, don't look down," he held the dragon-slaying knife tightly in his hand to protect the little princess in front of him, and no changes in the surrounding scenery could escape his eyes.
The pool water suddenly spun rapidly, and a large whirlpool appeared in the middle. There was a loud bang, and huge waves rose up around them one after another. Water vapor filled the entire underground space, and every time The individual couldn't clearly see the surrounding scene for an instant, and stopped almost at the same time.
When the misty water vapor dissipated, two frightened screams were heard, and a huge tentacle rolled up Lanzhi and an elf child.
Puni threw the child in his arms to Pugang not far away, drew out the iron sword behind him, and jumped onto the tentacle. Before it shrank into the water, he stabbed it deeply with the sword, and blue blood splashed out from the wound. .
A frightening roar came from the bottom of the water, and the water in the pool flew upwards like an explosion. The huge tentacles quickly retracted under the water and dragged the three of them into the pool together with Puni.
At this time, several huge tentacles stretched out from the bottom of the water.
Tang Lie reacted immediately, sighting a huge round sphere in the pool, and suddenly jumped over. His body suddenly changed direction in mid-air, his head dived downwards, and he held the dragon-slaying knife with both hands and inserted it deeply into the sphere. In the midst of it, the powerful sword flame burned fiercely in the monster's body.
There was a burning smell in the air, and several tentacles swept towards the stone beams. Pu Gang rushed to the front and cut off two tentacles with a machete in his hand, then turned to look into the pool.
But he saw that Tang Lie's body was covered with blue plasma, and he was standing on a huge ball with his feet. Energy was continuously sent into the monster's head through the dragon-slaying knife. This fatal attack made the monster's huge head... The body continued to twitch, and finally stopped moving, and the body began to sink slowly.
At this time, Puni emerged from the water holding Lanzhi and the elf child, laughing and saying: "It's a big octopus."
Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Tang Lie breathed a deep sigh of relief, washed the blue plasma from his body in the pond, swam to the stone beam and climbed up again.
After crossing the pool, they chose a flat open ground to rest for a while. Brothers Puni and Pugang lit up the fire. It didn't take long for the tempting aroma of meat to float, but it was they who cut the tentacles of the big octopus into pieces. Thin slices were skewered on an iron sword and grilled. This was the first time Tang Lie had enjoyed this kind of barbecue.
The little princess hugged her knees and sat in front of the tent. She secretly looked at Tang Lie with her beautiful eyes. The firelight reflected Tang Lie's resolute and handsome silhouette. He burst into hearty laughter from time to time. The little princess unconsciously revealed a sweet smile. She suddenly felt that Tang Lie had quietly occupied a place in her heart. Although the journey was full of dangers, with Tang Lie by her side, everything became charming and romantic.
After coaxing the two elf children to sleep, Lanzhi quietly came to the fire, straightened the clothes of Puni and Pugang, and hung them by the fire to bake.
Puni picked up the grilled octopus fillet with a dagger and handed it over: "You are hungry too, eat quickly,"
Lanzhi smiled brightly, and Puni stayed there for a moment.
"Thank you for saving me," Lanzhi said softly.
Puni was a little embarrassed and said: "This...this is what I should do..." Facing the elf girl, he still felt inferior deep down in his heart, but his subconscious told him that he had a crush on this gentle elf girl. Strong affection.
Looking at Lanzhi's back, Puni was still in a daze. Tang Lie smiled and patted his shoulder, saying in a low voice: "If you like it, do it early. I think Lanzhi has a good impression of you."
Puni blushed and whispered: "Master, I...how can I climb up to others..."
Tang Lie laughed loudly, and then whispered in Puni's ear: "Don't miss this opportunity, it will never come back. We will complete our mission by escorting us to the Holy Snow Peak. Even if you want to see me by then, I'm afraid you won't have the chance." "
After a short rest, they continued to move forward along the passage. After groping in the dark for a whole day, they finally saw the end of the tunnel.
Tang Lie slapped hard on the stone wall and felt that there was solid rock underneath. Pu Gang and Puni searched around but could not find any exit.
Everyone's mood began to become depressed. This turned out to be a tunnel with no exit. They tried their best and trekked for two whole days and nights, but they had to face the fact that they had to turn back.
Tang Lie smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that fate has played a big joke on us. Maybe we should turn around."
The little princess frowned slightly and said: "Since it is a tunnel, there must be an exit to go out." She looked up and looked up, about twenty meters away from the dome. The little princess arranged her pair of cicada-like clothes. The wings soar upward, with a graceful posture, like a fairy on the waves.
Soon she landed next to Tang Lie again and said with a sad expression: "It's also filled with rocks and there's no exit."
Tang Lie comforted her and said: "It's just a journey that was wrong. The worst we can do is go back." In fact, he was not optimistic about the prospect of escaping. He remembered that when he first entered the tunnel, the impact of the giant beast did not knock the stone door into pieces. After breaking it open, I thought the stone door was extremely strong. I wonder if the dragon-slaying knife could successfully penetrate the stone door.
Pu Gang stomped the ground unwillingly, and Puni sighed and said: "Brother, I have already checked, and there is no exit underground."
When everyone was about to leave, the elf child Puni was carrying suddenly said loudly: "No, I feel the wind is blowing this way."
Puni smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's your illusion."
Tang Lie didn't feel the wind blowing around him, thinking it was an illusion caused by the child's fear in the dark.
"Bugs," the elf child exclaimed.
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a faint blue light shining in the darkness, moving slowly towards their location.
The little princess reacted quickly, raised the crossbow in her hand and shot towards the light. The crossbow accurately hit the blue light. After a soft sound, the blue light split into four identical blue light groups.
