Just when I was about to stick my head out to take a look, I suddenly heard a burst of exclamation from the little Taoist priest behind me.
I subconsciously turned my body around and retreated towards the stone wall beside me.
But before my back hit the stone wall, I already felt a strong smelly wind rushing towards me.
In my panic, I didn't care about anything else and pressed the scale in my hand firmly against my chest.
Then, I suddenly felt like I had turned into that little mosquito on the horns of a bull.
The whole body flew directly twenty or thirty meters away, and finally fell heavily to the ground.
"Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature, respect the heavenly sword!"
Just when I thought I was going to die, the little Taoist priest suddenly stood in front of me with his mahogany sword in his hand.
"squeak--"
I suddenly heard a sharp sound, and then my ears seemed to be deaf, and I could only hear a buzzing sound.
I didn't even have time to respond to what was going on, and I fainted involuntarily.
When I woke up again, the little Taoist priest was already lying next to me.
The little Taoist priest is now covered in blood, and his right arm is obviously broken.
The whole human face is like gold paper, and the energy is like a gossamer.
Although my whole body was sore now, at least I could still move freely. I quickly struggled to stand up and came to the little Taoist priest's side.
"Little Taoist priest, little Taoist priest, wake up!"
After feeling his pulse, I suddenly panicked.
Although I don't remember what happened next, I still saw the little Taoist priest at the last moment, and he stood in front of me.
If it weren't for me, he could have simply turned around and ran away.
At this moment, he still has a bad luck charm stuck on his body!
When I think about my destiny, I feel a sense of fear. Is this guy going to die?
If he really died because of me, I'm afraid I would have to live with guilt for the rest of my life.
Now I couldn't care about anything else, so I quickly took out a Purification Charm from my pocket.
He quickly pinched his fingers to recite the incantation, and then attached the talisman to the little Taoist priest's body to offset the power of the unlucky talisman on his body.
But even if the power of the bad luck charm dissipates, the little Taoist priest's whole person's aura is still there.
Seeing his dying look, I gritted my teeth and took out the elixir that the master left for me from my backpack.
Although this thing should treat the symptoms rather than the root cause at this time, I don't care so much anymore. I can only treat a dead horse as a living horse.
After quickly crushing the wax pill, I directly stuffed the pill into the little Taoist priest's mouth, pinched his chin, and he swallowed it subconsciously.
Although he took the medicine, I still felt very uneasy.
Looking at the scattered stones and a few broken scales around me, I knew that this was definitely not a place to stay for a long time, but I had no other choice.
If I moved him randomly in his current condition, he would probably be dead before he even got to the right place.
Fortunately, perhaps due to the effect of the bad luck charm, the little Taoist priest's good luck had begun to rebound, so after taking the elixir, his breathing became significantly stronger.
After more than an hour, the little Taoist priest finally opened his eyes.
"Damn it, you're finally alive, you scared me to death!"
After seeing the little Taoist priest open his eyes, I finally let out a long breath and couldn't help but curse.
"You, this scourge, are not dead yet, how could I possibly die!"
Although the little Taoist priest looked pale, his condition was much better than that just now.
"Seeing that you can still quarrel makes me feel more at ease!"
I gasped for air while glaring at him angrily and said.
"You can be considered a tough guy, but you didn't die when you encountered this thing!"
The little Taoist priest coughed and said with a wry smile.
"What the hell was that thing just now? Did you see it clearly?"
Looking at the scattered scales on the ground, I was really curious. Any one of these scales was bigger than my head. What kind of behemoth could grow this thing on its body?
"Have you ever seen a centipede that became a climate?"
The little Taoist priest pointed at the scales on the ground as he spoke.
"Are you kidding? Which centipede has scales on its body?"
My eyes suddenly widened. If he told me it was a big snake, I might still be able to believe it, but if you said that this thing came from a centipede, I really couldn't believe it.
"Haven't you heard that there is a centipede in this world?"
After hearing what he said, I was completely stunned, wondering what kind of joke he was making on the spot.
"I asked you, can you please stop joking? How could there be such a ghost thing after all these years?"
I swallowed hard and asked in disbelief.
When I was a child, my master once taught me about the wonders of the world. It was almost my favorite class. I listened to the entire Classic of Mountains and Seas as a story.
As for those weird creatures, I naturally regarded them all as mythical things.
Centipede is said to be a transitional form from centipede to dragon.
However, centipedes are just ordinary insects after all.
Even if some exotic centipedes can live for a long time, it will probably take at least a thousand years for them to grow to the point that the master said.
I never thought that such a legendary thing could actually exist in the world.
"A good news or a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Although the little Taoist priest is now extremely weak, he still maintains his talkative nature.
"You'd better say it directly, don't try to hold it in here, what are you doing now! Can't you save some energy?"
Seeing his showy look, I said angrily.
"Okay, then I'll tell you the truth! The good news is that the thing was injured by me, and I'm afraid it won't come back for a while!"
The little Taoist priest was coughing while talking. Looking at the pink bubbles he coughed up, I immediately understood that this guy should have been hit in the ribs during the fight, and now the ribs had pierced his lungs.
"If you have something to say, tell me quickly, and then give me a rest!"
Seeing him constantly waking up from thirst, I said angrily.
"The bad news is that this area may be his lair. We have to be careful of his disciples..."
After hearing what I said, the little Taoist priest didn't continue to talk about it. He just looked at me with a wry smile and said.
Now I'm really in a dilemma. I want to go, we finally found this water source, but if we go on, if something happens, I'm afraid both of us will die here...
