Chapter 12 The Earth Dragon Turns Over
"I thought you were so capable, but it turned out to be nothing more than that!"

Cheng Sanwu was still angry, and stepped forward to open Wu Maocai. The British son-in-law had experienced more than a dozen beatings in succession, blood clots spewed from his mouth and nose, and even if he still had a trace of breath, he was convulsing and gasping for breath at this moment.Cheng Sanwu rummaged through his arms for a while, and finally found the black jade box covered with golden Sanskrit characters.

"Be careful behind you."

Cheng Sanwu was trying to open the tightly sealed black jade box, when he heard Afu's voice from nearby, a sudden wind rose behind him, and three wild wolves rushed towards him.

One of the three wild wolves bit the calf, the other opened its mouth to snatch the jade box, and the other threw itself on Cheng Sanwu's back, biting down on the neck, tearing the flesh with its sharp teeth.

Cheng Sanwu roared in pain, swung his arms and legs, and broke free from the restraints of his hands and feet with all his brute strength, then grabbed the wild wolf on his back and tore it off forcefully.

The wild wolf was biting hard at first, but it still couldn't hold back Cheng Sanwu's amazing strength, leaving only a horrible bloody scar on the back of his neck.

"Beast, court death!"

Cheng Sanwu was furious, and quickly stuffed the black jade box into his bosom, then raised his hand to grab the upper and lower jaws of the wild wolf, and pulled his arms outward, unexpectedly, the wolf's lower jaw and a large piece of fur and flesh on its chest were abruptly tear off.

The other two wild wolves were not afraid of death, and stepped forward again. Cheng Sanwu turned over and took back the horizontal knife, pierced the chest and back with one knife, smashed the sky spirit with one foot, and easily killed the two animals.

"Wu Maocai was blessed with spells, and it was difficult for ordinary iron to be injured. As a result, you fell and seriously injured several times, but the three beasts made you so embarrassed." Afu rode sideways, relaxed and freehand, as if going out in the countryside: "I should say you Is it great or not?"

"Won't you shut up while you're watching the show, you stinky bitch?" Cheng Sanwu cursed, took out a small packet of wound medicine from his waist, and applied it on his neck indiscriminately.

Afu didn't argue with Cheng Sanwu either. She looked around and looked at the Hu Qi driving the wolves: "This doesn't look like an ordinary horse thief."

"They are the Black Wolf Department." Cheng Sanwu gritted his teeth, ignoring the pain in his wound: "I didn't expect these wolf cubs to get involved."

"Oh? I've heard of them too." Afu chuckled, then looked at Wu Maocai who was lying on the ground not far away: "How do you plan to deal with him?"

Cheng Sanwu raised the knife and came to Wu Maocai's side, thinking about whether to kill him, suddenly a horse neighed in fright from behind, and the ground trembled again.

"It's that big worm!" Cheng Sanwu turned his head to look, and the Huluo Inn that had been reduced to ruins was left with only a big pit, and there was no sign of the dragon diving in the sand.

With a bang, the ground suddenly crumbled, and the submerged sand dragon opened its bloody mouth, and its ferocious mouthparts like petals closed inward, pressing down with rows of sharp teeth!

At the moment of life and death, Cheng Sanwu's body was full of vigor, kicking and kicking, before the huge mouth closed, he turned over and jumped out of the gap.It's a pity that Mr. Wu had no power to resist, so he was swallowed by the demon.

With one hit, the submerged sand dragon raised its head and howled, its voice was low but capable of shaking its bones, scattered around, and impacted all sides of the field, even those wolves controlled by thaumaturgic abilities fell down and wailed one after another .

"The submerged sand dragon has no eyes. It relies on sound transmission to identify its position underground, similar to a bat." Afu frowned slightly: "It can shatter rocks with this cry, and ordinary people can't bear it, you..."

"One after another, it's endless!"

Afu originally planned to remind Cheng Sanwu to hold his breath to guard against the roar of the earth dragon, but he didn't realize it. He whistled and called the bay red horse, took the bow and fired arrows, and shot at the earth dragon submerged in the sand. .

But the whole body of the submerged sand dragon is like a solid rock, with almost no vital flaws, and the sharp arrows shot by a strong bow with a stone can only be inserted on the surface of the carapace, and cannot hurt the root.

"The weak point of the earth dragon lies in the gap between the two carapaces." Afu rode to the side and said, "You restrain it, I have a way to deal with it!"

"I'm here to restrain you?!" Cheng Sanwu asked dissatisfied.

"The Mani Pearl is on your body, it's coming for this thing, you can't escape!" Afu whipped his horse and ran away after speaking.

At this time, the submerged sand dragon made a low-pitched sound, echoing over the desert, and Cheng Sanwu instinctively felt that it was searching for prey.

Shen Ming paused, Qiansha Dilong's huge six-petal mouth looked towards Cheng Sanwu, he was startled, and hurried his horse to gallop.

The sand-diving dragon plunged headlong into the ground, and the surrounding area was surrounded by soft sand dunes. For this kind of monster, it was like a fish in water, leaving only a winding trace on the ground, and followed Cheng Sanwu.

Cheng Sanwu looked back, furious in his heart, and pulled out a ground-piercing spear to attract the submerged sand dragon to a distance to avoid interference from others.

At this time, Su Wangting was leading the Bow and Knife Club to fight with the Black Wolf Department, the Maocai Club and others, and had no time to meet Cheng Sanwu, but when they saw the dragon in the ground, most of them were terrified, and they didn't care at all. Dare to face the enemy head-on, let alone go to danger to contain it in person?

Cheng Sanwu rode his horse and galloped all the way, making a big circle, but Afu was nowhere to be seen, and cursed secretly: "Could it be that this stinky bitch is going to throw us to the demon, so she can steal the treasure all by herself?"

Puzzled in his heart, Cheng Sanwu noticed the sound of flying sand approaching behind him, and the sand-riding dragon suddenly jumped out, intending to devour both people and horses.

Seeing this, Cheng Sanwu leaped up, threw the spear in his hand vigorously, and shot it directly into the giant mouth of the monster.

At the entrance of the spear, the Submerged Sand Dragon froze for a moment, then closed its mouthparts, easily chewed up the spear, and bit at Cheng Sanwu again.

Cheng Sanwu didn't have time to retreat, and took the opportunity to put his hands and feet against the edge of the mouthparts, wrestling with it, trying to reproduce the situation of dealing with the corpse vulture before.

But after fighting, Cheng Sanwu discovered that the power of this sand-diving dragon was far greater than that of a vulture. This terrifying mouth was enough to crush a block of iron and stone into slag, and his arm trembled slightly, showing signs of bending.

But the more this kind of time, the more Cheng Sanwu refused to admit defeat, the vigorous inner energy flowed all over his body, leaking out from all the holes, turning into invisible energy, and with Cheng Sanwu's limbs widening, it formed a round shape.

But Qiansha Dilong didn't intend to continue wrestling with Cheng Sanwu, it held Cheng Sanwu in its mouth, raised its body high, and suddenly opened its six-petal mouthparts, instead causing Cheng Sanwu to fall into the belly by itself, and was swallowed whole by it Swallow it alive!
Cheng Sanwu's eyes went dark, and then there was a huge pressure from all directions, and an unbearable stench hit his face, making him dissipate.

In order to protect himself, Cheng Sanwu pulled out the short dagger from the boot shaft in the narrow gap and stabbed everywhere.

Fortunately, at this time Afu appeared to make a move. She quietly came to the back of the earth dragon, holding a horse-shouldered dagger in her hand, like a cook cutting fish sticks, with light and quick movements, and lightly cut half a circle along the gap between the carapaces.Then he raised his hand and tore apart half of the carapace from the inner muscles.

This action made the submerged sand dragon feel as if he was suffering from Ling Chi, and immediately opened his mouth to let out a strange roar, while Cheng Sanwu was forced out of the wriggling inner cavity, and rolled to the ground covered in filth.

Cheng Sanwu, who had escaped from the sky, rolled and crawled, watching the strangely screaming sand-diving dragon burrow into the ground again, and sat on the ground blankly. The tremor on the ground stopped after a while.

"This, this is your solution?" Cheng Sanwu wiped his face and looked at Afu who couldn't hide his sly smile.

"Could it be that Chengdu is like you, going to fight the monster?" Afu admired Cheng Sanwu's distressed appearance very much.

Cheng Sanwu really didn't have the mood to argue with Afu right now, he reached into his arms and found that the black jade box was still there, so he said, "Go back quickly, Lao Su still needs help!"

However, when Cheng Sanwu and his two rushed back, the Black Wolf Department and the Maocai Club had all retreated, and the corpses were strewn all over the ground, lying on top of each other, there were wolves, camels and horses.

Su Wangting was leading people to clean up the mess at the moment, when he saw Cheng Sanwu and the two came back, and was about to speak, Cheng Sanwu directly threw the black jade box to him.

"This is the Mani Pearl, but the box cannot be opened." Cheng Sanwu said, "Peng Ning said that there is a seal of Buddhism on it."

Su Wangting nodded slightly, carefully put away the black jade box, and asked, "Where's Wu Maocai?"

"Swallowed by a big worm."

Su Wangting sighed lightly, and asked again: "Where's that dragon diving in the sand? Where did it go?"

"Scared away by this stinky..." Cheng Sanwu motioned to Afu who was next to her.

"Thank you, Miss Afu, for your help." Su Wangting crossed his hands as a salute: "Baochang Society owes you a favor, I don't know how to repay it?"

"I didn't do much, and I don't need you to repay." Afu looked around and asked casually, "I'm just curious, what are you going to do next?"

Cheng Sanwu twisted his shoulders: "I want to find a place to wash my body quickly. I just fell into the belly of that earth dragon. It really killed me."

Su Wangting pondered for a moment and replied, "Then go back to Quzhi City."

"Ah?" This time it was Cheng Sanwu's turn to be stunned: "I just mentioned this casually, don't you want to take the Mani beads to Chang'an? Should you go east or east? Just find an inn on the way and get some water to wash it up. good."

"No, I do intend to go back to Quzhi City." Su Wangting looked serious: "If we hadn't intervened suddenly, what do you think will happen to Maocai society?"

Cheng Sanwu looked at the corpses all around, and he was not completely ignorant: "There are big worms in front, and black wolves in the back. It is estimated that there is not one left."

"That's it." Su Wangting showed a worried expression on his face: "The forces that want to seize the Mani Pearl are beyond imagination, and they may not stop here. With our small number of people, it is not enough to protect the Mani Pearl to reach Chang'an. Gong The Dao Club is willing to help this time, but if we encounter a more powerful opponent, they will not be able to assist us regardless of casualties."

"I still don't understand, why do you want to go back to Quzhi City?" Cheng Sanwu felt itchy on the back of his neck, and stretched out his hands to scratch.

"I want to understand, things like Mani beads should not be escorted to Chang'an by us, but should be sent by the imperial court to meet them justifiably." Su Wangting thought about it and said: "In addition, the origin of Mani beads is not known at present. unclear."

When Su Wangting said this, he kept observing Afu secretly, but the orchid in red just looked around, as if she had no intention of talking.

"I seem to understand." Cheng Sanwu looked suddenly enlightened: "Anyway, now that the Maocai Club has been killed in a mess, we will be safe back in Quzhi City. But what does the Duhu Mansion say? "

"I will come forward to discuss it in person." Su Wangting smiled slightly: "The Western Regions rely on their own ability to make a living. The Maocai Society failed to succeed, and the Protectorate's Mansion can't take care of it all. And I plan to hand over the Mani Pearl to Mu Sid for a look." , with the name of Zoroastrian sacred objects, it is impossible for the Protectorate to come forward and snatch them."

"But if this thing is really a sacred object of Zoroastrianism, what if Musid took it and refused to return it?" Cheng Sanwu asked.

Su Wangting paced back and forth, and finally said frankly: "Then I have nothing to do, just procrastinate if I can."

"It's up to you." Cheng Sanwu didn't care about it anymore.

"There are still people alive in the Maocai Club, don't you want to deal with it?" Afu suddenly said, raising her finger and pointing not far away.

Everyone went to watch and found that Mr. Changqing was dying, half buried under the yellow sand.

"Still out of breath."

Cheng Sanwu checked his nose and pulse first, then drew out his knife, Su Wangting stopped him and said, "Don't do anything yet."

"You want to spare his life?" Cheng Sanwu reminded, "We have completely torn faces with the Maocai Society."

Su Wangting was much more cautious: "There must be room for everything, not to mention that this person is a Taoist chief invited by the Maocai Society. If you kill him, you don't know what troubles will be involved. It's better to save his life. There is still a chance to turn around in the future. "

"Not everyone will remember kindness." Cheng Sanwu was helpless, but he didn't intend to go against Su Wangting's wishes, so he could only save people with his knife.

Mr. Changqing's eyes were closed tightly, bleeding and tearing, he might be blind, Cheng Sanwu said cursingly: "What the hell is this guy doing, his pulse is so chaotic that he doesn't look like a living person, and several breaths are wandering around in his body."

"This is spell backlash." Afu replied.

"What do you mean?" Su Wangting asked for advice.

Afu looked up at the night sky: "As I said before, the Zoroastrianism may have done something to make the Western Regions unable to tolerate pagan spells. This fake Taoist priest cast spells forcibly, causing internal and external qi disorders and conflicts, and backfired on himself."

Cheng Sanwu lifted Mr. Changqing onto the horse, and at the same time retorted: "Nonsense, that kid Wu Maocai is still blessed with spells, and I don't see anything wrong with him."

"The spell on Wu Maocai was not cast by himself." Afu rolled his eyes: "It seems that the spell cast on him will not cause backlash, otherwise this fake Taoist should have noticed it long ago. And he cast spells before There is nothing to gain, maybe it is also related to the current situation."

Su Wangting looked solemn: "If Zoroastrianism really has such abilities, the imperial court will not ignore it. It's just... based on what I've seen and heard in the past, Zoroastrianism can't do such a big deal."

"Maybe the old man Muxid has been hiding it from you all the time with a fake face." Cheng Sanwu snorted and laughed.

"Not everything can be deceived." Su Wangting said: "Zoroastrianism originated in Persia, but Persia lost successive battles against powerful enemies of paganism in the west, and finally destroyed the country. If they can really suppress paganism in a vast area, Why is that so?"

"They're all people who believe in religion and are confused, who knows what they think?" Cheng Sanwu didn't care, "If you want to leave, go quickly, there are corpses all over the ground, maybe you will provoke some ghosts and ghosts again!"

Without hesitation, Su Wangting quickly greeted everyone in the Bow and Knife Club.Cheng Sanwu got on the horse, felt the back of his neck feel cold, and stretched out his hand to scratch it again. When he turned his head, he saw Afu staring straight at him, and those green eyes seemed to be shining faintly.

"What are you looking at?" Cheng Sanwu was a little uncomfortable being stared at by her, muttered for a while, and said very unwillingly: "Just now... Thank you very much. If it weren't for your help, I might really die here In the belly of the worm."

Cheng Sanwu drove away in a hurry, afraid of being ridiculed by the other party.But Afu didn't say much, just stared at the back of Cheng Sanwu's neck. The tragic scars left by the wild wolf not long ago have all healed and recovered at this moment.
