Chapter 3 Strange Encounter
There was only one path inside the cavern. Xiao Xiao did not know how long he slid. He could only feel the trembling growing stronger inside the cavern as if at anything everything would collapse.
Xiao Xiao silently prayed in his heart…..
A gale blew by past his ears. He felt the chilliness and extreme pain of the strong wind blowing into his face. Xiao Xiao couldn’t help to combat the cold. He lift his head slightly upward, facing and gazing downward into the cavern’s path. A faint ray of light pa.s.sed through.
The moment he waited to confirm that it was truly light, the cold wind blowing at his side subsided. Immediately he felt the the force of the pa.s.sageway pressure loosen. His entire person immediately relaxed. There was no need for Xiao Xiao to see clearly the circ.u.mstance at hand.
There was a “plop” sound. Xiao Xiao followed the driving force of the sliding motion. Like a large boulder, he plunging into a deep pool without a struggle, pa.s.sing by the mist above the surface of the water.
In the cold water of the freezing pool with the biting cold, Xiao Xiao’s head emerged from the surface of the water. He s.h.i.+vered. His entire body started trembling. His top and bottom teeth chattered incessantly, and he let out a groan.
His body was moving incessantly, fearing that if he stopped, he would be frozen stiff in the ice-cold pool of water. As Xiao Xiao turned his back, he found Xiao Hei’s s.h.i.+vering figure, crouching and unable to move its body.
Xiao Xiao did not dare to hesitate, and quickly slid toward Xiao Hei. Although Xiao Xiao had not taken many steps, a plop sound rumbled. Subsequently there were countless splas.h.i.+ng landing down, producing cras.h.i.+ng sounds onto the water.
Xiao Xiao subconsciously turned his body wis.h.i.+ng to see what was behind him. However, he was welcomed with a great wave that came cras.h.i.+ng over. There was not enough time to react. The wave lunged forth and crammed into Xiao Xiao’s entire mouth.
However Xiao Xiao did not need to swim, and followed along with the rapid tides heading straight toward the sh.o.r.es. Very quickly he arrived at where Xiao Hei was crouching. The tides swayed Xiao Hei’s small body along together with Xiao Xiao. After the tides brought them to sh.o.r.e, it continued to push the boy and the dog five or six meters away before it stopped and immediately retreated.
When it looked like the waves would carry Xiao Hei’s body away, Xiao Xiao rolled and turned his body ninety degrees, using both legs to obstruct Xiao Hei’s body.
After the waves retreated, Xiao Xiao lifted Xiao Hei to his chest. After feeling that Xiao Hei was breathing, he was greatly relieved.
Then a large b.e.s.t.i.a.l roar shook Xiao Xiao dizzy. As he turned around to see, he saw a shocking scene that he would never forget throughout his lifetime.
With the head of a dragon, a yellow l.u.s.trous body, it was a dragon turtle covered with dragon scales, each leg was as thick as four bucket of water. It was similar to East Sea’s JinguBang as it tread the water of the freezing pool. Each wave was higher than the next. The dragon turtle lower his head towards the surface of the water and produced a large roar. Xiao Xiao estimated that the dragon turtle was at least a ten Chinese feet high.
TL: JinGuBang is the weapon that (Monkey King) Sun WuKong uses.
一丈 is ten Chinese feet high or 3.3 meters.
A crash sounded. Suddenly the head of the treading dragon turtle, the size of a bathtub, emerged from the waters. Two hills protruded out on each of the two sides of its upper head. Below was its two eyeb.a.l.l.s, the size of chicken eggs, which appeared milky white. A row of razor sharp teeth lined its mouth, flickering in the cold remoteness of the poor light, which cause people to tremble in fear.
As the dragon turtle saw the head of a fierce python, it did not cower, but rather opened his mouth and spat out a blazing fire ball, the size of a basketball, striking toward the head of the python.
However, the python generally does not fear fireb.a.l.l.s. It pulled its body together and unexpectedly used its strength to speed up once again towards the fireball. At the same time, a crash sounded. The tail of the python had pierced into the surface of the water. A sort of lightning coiled toward the dragon turtle.
“Bang.” The head of the python knocked against the fireball, splitting it open and dispersing sparks in all directions. As the sparks fall into the cold waters, they produced “chi chi” sounds, and mists of water curled up. The python, not weakened, opened its ferocious mouth to bite the neck of the dragon turtle.
Even the jet-black python was bold and powerful, it had bear the dragon turtle’s fireball and charged forth. A small hill on top of his head already already completely caved in, and even streams of blood could be seen rolling down above its milky white eyeb.a.l.l.s.
The dragon turtle did not think that once the python entered the freezing pool, it would not just increase in speed, but also could counteract the destructive force of his fireball after it immersed itself in water. Previously the python had not dare to resist his fireball attack.
The dragon turtle was originally not fast. Thus after the python’s attack speed increased, his speed just appeared to be awkward. Although he ruggedly dodged the python’s biting head, he was caught in the lightning from the snake’s tail.
In less than a moment, the jet black python circled its body and bound the dragon turtle in loops. His four-water-bucket thick round legs struggled to move with no avail, the snake’s body had already enwrapped the dragon turtle’s body.
The python once again opened its ferocious mouth, biting towards the dragon turtle’s neck. The dragon turtle was already bound, the more he struggled the more he was forced closer to the python. Knowing that there was no hope of escaping, he looked at the python attacking straight at him. The dragon turtle let out a sorrowful roar. His neck suddenly became coa.r.s.e. A golden fireball came flying out of his open mouth, smas.h.i.+ng towards the python’s head.
After releasing the golden fireball, the dragon turtled swayed ** and opened its mouth again and bit at the python’s neck.
“Bang!” The golden fireball smashed into the python’s head, causing the attacking python to pause and stop. As the golden fireball thoroughly smashed the python’s head into pulp, such that one of its eyeball came flying down into the freezing pool.
