Romance of Gods

Chapter 196 Tiger Water Master
Lou Huowang smiled and said: "Don't worry, Brother Chen has his own destiny, and he can't tell where he can enjoy the good food and drink."

Cao Chunhua took a look at the current location of the team members. All four of them were in Yuzhou City. "You can't stay in this place for a long time. You need to find an opportunity to go out and have a look."

Tong Chong nodded and said: "Indeed, although it is safe here and isolated from the chaos of the outside world, staying here is not a long-term solution. We need to find a way to leave."

After Cao Chunhua and Lou Huowang met, they also came to Yuzhou City according to the coordinates of Chen Yan and the others.

Unexpectedly, the city was surrounded by dangers, and the two of them repeatedly fought against the royal guards, eunuchs and people in the world.

During this period, he met a team led by two other actors, Tong Chong and Ding Zhongyi, and they became allies for the time being to jointly resist the crisis.

Lou Huowang was cautious by nature. Since it was not safe in the city, he suggested hiding under the river.

But who would have thought that entering the river is easy, but getting out is difficult.

Thousands of evil monsters regard the bottom of the river as their home base and have set up restrictions in the water. Looking down from the river surface, you can't find anything unusual. Only by diving into the depths yourself can you discover another world.

But if you escape recklessly, you will immediately alert the evil monster and be torn into pieces. In the past few days, Cao Chunhua and others have witnessed many tragedies.

According to the information they received, this huge building at the bottom of the river was called the Dragon Palace by the monsters.

In the past two days, evil spirits from all sides have entered the Dragon Palace every night, as if they were discussing some important matter.

Cao Chunhua said: "We have to go to the palace and have a look."

Lou Huowang immediately became nervous, "Are you desperate for your life? That's the demon's lair. The combined number of us is not enough to fill their teeth."

Tong Chong and others looked at each other, obviously thinking the same thing.

This was expected by Cao Chunhua. Compared with the unknown that they would face when taking risks, everyone wanted stability more.

"I'll go take a look myself. Maybe I can find something. It's not a problem to stay here all the time. You just stay outside to take care of it."

Tong Chong said: "That's good. Miss Cao is the strongest among us. It's convenient for us to go alone. We can't guarantee that we won't cause trouble if we follow."

Lou Huowang kept shaking his head. He couldn't understand why he had to take risks when he was well hidden here.
He took out two things, a small man made of straw and a yellow charm. "This is a substitute charm. You should carry the charm with you. If you encounter any danger, tear it off."

Cao Chunhua took the spell and without saying a single unnecessary word, she stood up and walked quietly to the Dragon Palace.

Lou Huowang and others observed her movements through the cracks in the rocks. When they saw her leaving, they hid their whereabouts, probably using some form of invisibility.

Not long after, a commotion suddenly broke out in the Dragon Palace, and tornado-shaped air currents rushed up the river.

Seeing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically. After looking at each other, calm returned to the Dragon Palace.

When Lou Huowang looked at the little figure in his hand, it actually started to burn, turning into ashes in his breath and drifting away between his fingers.

He said nervously: "No! I used the avatar, but the person didn't come back. He must have been trapped by something!"

Ding Zhongyi, a middle-aged woman, shook her head and said: "This Miss Cao is too impulsive. Now she is trapped in the lair of demons, and we can't save her."

Tong Chong frowned, "I think we should leave first. If those monsters chase us out, we may not be able to protect ourselves."

Lou Huowang opened his mouth. He wanted to say that they had all relied on Cao Chunhua to fight the enemy bravely these days, and they were lucky enough to stay safe. Now that Cao Chunhua had an accident, they couldn't just leave.

But after thinking for a moment, he still closed his mouth. Even if he said this, it would be like farting, and it would be a waste of breath.

He cupped his hands and said, "Take care, everyone, I'm going to visit the Dragon Palace."

Several people were surprised when they heard this. They didn't expect that Lou Huowang, a timid and fearful person, would dare to break into the Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den at this moment.

"Farewell."

Lou Huowang shook his head, walked around the pile of rocks and quietly sneaked towards the Dragon Palace.

After he left, Ding Zhongyi said in a deep voice: "If it were normal, we would definitely help out, but the current situation is special, and we can only clean up the snow on our own."

Tong Chong waved his hand and said: "There is no need to blame yourself. If we are in danger, they will make the same choice."

At this time, a young man asked: "Where should we go now?"

"Going all the way down the river, I don't believe they can cover the entire basin with this method."

After hearing what Tong Chong said, Ding Zhongyi also nodded and said, "Let's go!"

Everyone got up and set off at full speed. They also had an indescribable little thought, that is, since Cao Chunhua was discovered and Lou Huowang also went to the Dragon Palace, they could just use them to attract the attention of the monster and create an opportunity for themselves to escape.

At the same time, groups of black shadows flew out of the Dragon Palace, swarmed upstream, and flew toward the west like a flock of migrating birds.

Lou Huowang fearfully entered the interior of the Dragon Palace. As he got closer, he realized that the palace must have been around for some years and was a historic site.

The carved beams and painted pillars, red walls and green tiles have all lost their original colors and become old and simple.

"Miss Cao, why are you joining in the fun if you have nothing to do?"

Lou Huowang cursed in his heart and walked deep into the Dragon Palace on thin ice. But after walking for a while, he realized that something was wrong.

Many monsters entered the Dragon Palace just now, but now they have passed through the front door and bypassed two courtyards, but not a single person has been seen.

The unexpected silence gave people an indescribable uneasiness.

Lou Huowang swallowed his saliva, and when he stepped back involuntarily, he suddenly heard a faint groan of pain coming from directly in front.

"Is it Miss Cao?"

Before coming to the competition world this time, the four of them had already agreed to help each other and share weal and woe. They had received a lot of protection from Cao Chunhua along the way. Even though they had always believed that saving their lives was important, they absolutely could not abandon their friends at this juncture. .

Even if he could survive, if he met Chen Yan and the others one day, he might not be able to see each other face to face.

Among their team, he has experienced the most dramas. Although he has failed many times, he now has two divine bloodlines and two secret magical powers. Although he is mainly an auxiliary, he can be considered among the gods of the same level. The best.

"In this competition world, we will never arrange enemies that we can't deal with..."

With this thought in mind, Lou Huowang took a deep breath and walked quickly forward.

The sound came from a magnificent palace. The courtyard here was much larger than elsewhere. It must be the center of the palace.

Like other places, there was no human figure here. Although Lou Huowang was scared, he was more curious, "Where did those monsters go?"

"Ah...ah..."

At the same time, the moaning sounded again, this time more clearly. Lou Huowang heard clearly now that it was not Cao Chunhua's voice.

If anything went wrong, there must be a monster. He squinted his eyes and looked into the dark palace, and saw something seemed to be crawling in the depths.

He kept warning himself that this place was dangerous and that he should not stay for a long time, but his instinct prompted him to walk towards the palace to find out.

Just as his front foot crossed the towering threshold, a hand fell from the sky and grabbed his shoulder.

"Spare your life! Spare your life! I didn't mean to cause trouble and bumped into the Supreme Master Qingxiu. I hope that the Supreme Master will show mercy and spare my life!"

Lou Huowang clasped his hands together and raised them above his head, praying for mercy with a trembling voice.

"Okay, no one wants your life."

A familiar voice sounded, and Lou Huowang was both happy and scared. He looked back in disbelief and saw Cao Chunhua standing behind him, intact.

"Miss Cao! You...you are okay!"

Cao Chunhua smiled and said, "What can I do? Where are the others?" "They should stay outside to take care of them."

After saying this, Lou Huowang himself didn't believe it. Those people had probably run away long ago.

Cao Chunhua nodded and did not continue to ask, but started walking towards the depths of the palace.

Lou Huowang felt confident at this time and quickly followed, wondering: "What happened just now? We thought something happened to you!"

Although it is at the bottom of the river, the hall is isolated from the river and is extremely dry.

Cao Chunhua looked ahead. At the end of the hall, stood a huge cyan statue more than ten feet high. The upper body of the statue was completely hidden in the darkness, and its specific appearance could not be seen clearly.

She said calmly: "Just now, I found that all those monsters were gathered in this hall. I didn't know what they were doing, so I threw a few punches at will, causing some small damage and driving the tiger away from the mountain. I spent [-] gods to use one. The precious puppets purchased by Fu led them upstream."

"That's it." Lou Huowang nodded slowly, and then asked puzzledly: "But what's the matter with the substitute talisman?"

Snapped!
Cao Chunhua stopped and looked down at him, "I said, Lao Lou, is your talisman a fake? After I made the tiger leave the mountain, I was about to tear up the talisman and return to where you came from to meet you and explore the Dragon Palace together, but I just took it. When it came out, the charm was soaked in water."

"This..." Lou Huowang's face was full of embarrassment, "I have been staying in the water-avoiding talisman they made out before, and I forgot that the talisman is not waterproof."

Cao Chunhua smiled helplessly, "Okay, let's fight quickly, those monsters will be back soon."

Lou Huowang nodded, and the two of them walked quickly to the statue. After observing it closely, they realized that its body was huge. Compared with it, they were like earthworms or gravel.

"What is this made of?"

Lou Huowang knocked on the body of the statue, and it made a dull sound similar to wood. But to the naked eye, the material looked like copper and jade, exuding a magnificent cyan luster.

"what……"

Another moan sounded from the top of the statue, and the two of them looked up together. Suddenly, their bodies trembled with fear. Above the dark palace room, two blood-red pupils as big as stone mills were looking down at them indifferently.

In those eyes, it seems that the universe and the source of all laws are hidden. The moment they look into each other's eyes, endless mysteries and billions of strange images are poured into the minds of Cao Chunhua and Lou Huowang in an instant. middle.

It was as if they had gone through a reincarnation, and as if they had experienced several lives and deaths. When the two of them lowered their heads, cold sweat had soaked their clothes, their faces were as pale as paper, and their bodies were shaking like chaff.

"Nine."

The two said the number in unison.

Lou Huowang trembled in disbelief: "You...you saw it too!"

Cao Chunhua nodded mechanically, her eyes dull, "We must find Chen Yan and the others immediately before it's too late."

Lou Huowang swallowed his saliva, with a look of despair on his face, "Why is this happening... This is not a drama... This is simply a murder! All of us will die, and we will not be given a chance at all!"

Cao Chunhua shook his head, "No, it's because we misunderstood the gameplay of this romance. It's not too late now, there should still be a chance."

While the two were talking, a strong dark wind suddenly poured in from the outside world, and those monsters were back!
Lou Huowang was in a daze, but Cao Chunhua came to his senses early, grabbed him and hid behind the statue.

At the same time, a group of demons swarmed in, led by two people, one wearing a fiery red dragon robe, and the other wearing a black green cloak.

The two of them have majestic looks. The one in red robe has double horns on his forehead, while the other one has his head covered with vines.

The man in red robe said angrily: "Where did the little thief who sneaked into the palace go? If I catch him, I will eat him alive!"

Vine Manke smiled and said: "There is no need for the water master to be angry. This person must still be at the bottom of the river. If she dares to escape, we will definitely feel something."

"Water Lord?"

When Cao Chunhua heard this, they looked at each other.

"Hmph." The water master sneered: "Tiger, if you hadn't stopped me many times, I would have led my people out of the river and swallowed the city full of creatures. How dare those little ones dare to come here and act so recklessly!"

Vine Manke waved his hand and said: "Didn't I say it before? It won't be too late for us to reappear after the meeting of heroes begins."

"Wait...wait! We have been in this world for nearly a month, and you have repeatedly stopped us from appearing in this world. What are your intentions?"

Upon hearing this, Vine Guest's smile immediately cooled down, "Water Lord, it's my turn to ask you this. We came to this world on your Majesty's orders, are we doing it for your own selfish reasons? We are weak now, and the enemy We still have the strength to fight. If you ruin our plan, can you bear the blame? Besides, you are not afraid of being late for a good meal, are you still afraid that these people will escape? "

His rebuke made the Water Master look embarrassed, "What you said is too serious. I don't have any selfish desires. I'm just afraid that others will take away the credit and be forgotten... The only people who come to this world are us. Two, and three other troops."

Just as they were talking, the demons separated a passage, and several people were escorted in.

"Reporting to the Mountain Lord and the Water Lord, we intercepted these people at the lower reaches of the river and specially escorted them to your custody."

"Exalted Immortal, please forgive me. We didn't mean to offend and accidentally entered a treasured place. I hope you will forgive me!"

Cao Chunhua and Lou Huowang were both shocked when they heard the voice. The voice was none other than Tong Chong!

At this moment, not only Tong Chong, but also other members of his team, Ding Zhongyi and others were also captured.

Cao Chunhua clenched her fists and looked sternly.

Lou Huowang saw that she was about to rescue her, so he quickly grabbed her and shook his head to stop her.

The tiger smiled and said: "Water Lord, these people are the gods, so you can give them a beating on their teeth first."

"what!"

Tong Chong and others were shocked when they heard this, and they hated Cao Chunhua. If she hadn't sneaked into the Dragon Palace rashly, how could they have been captured by these monsters!
The water master smiled, raised his hand to grab it, and the arm in his sleeve suddenly turned into a long dragon. It roared and rolled up Ding Zhongyi's body. When the huge dragon was aimed at the top of her head and opened its smelly mouth, Ding Zhongyi's face was like Ashen, something suddenly occurred to him, and he shouted: "Report to the Supreme Lord! Someone just sneaked into your Dragon Palace! We know who he is!"

"Ok?"

The water master's eyes narrowed slightly. Behind the statue, Cao Chunhua and the two of them felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

……

The sky in the east gradually turned white. In the high mountains to the west of Yuzhou City, the vegetation was swaying. Two crickets were biting and fighting, and suddenly they jumped on the head of a human being.

After the cricket jumped away, the man raised his head, looked at Wang Shixiang on the side, and complained: "General, we have been lying in wait for so long, let alone the rebels, we haven't even seen a ghost!"

Wang Shixiang also felt strange in his heart, but since it was the order from Eunuch Cao and Ru Qianjiang, there should be nothing wrong.

At this time, the scout who was investigating the enemy's situation rushed back and said, "Report! No trace of the enemy has been found within a radius of fifty miles."

"There is no trace... Could it be, it's not good! Move the tiger away from the mountain!" Wang Shixiang suddenly jumped up from the grass, raised his arms and shouted: "The whole army returns to defense! Quick! Quick!"

……

Late at night, in Ao Mansion, the sound of joyful drinking could be heard all the time. All the performers were bathing and changing clothes. Mr. Ao held a banquet again and exchanged glasses with everyone.

Chen Yan did not join in the excitement and stayed alone in the secluded backyard, quietly waiting for dawn.

The world is really strange. In less than one night, my identity has undergone earth-shaking changes.

He was a thorn in Brother Pao's side before, but now he and the leader of the group have become hypocritical sworn brothers. I don't know what will happen tomorrow.

At this time, a childish voice sounded outside the hospital, "Sister Shen, are you my sister-in-law?"

"Ah? Xiaohua, don't talk nonsense. If Brother Chen hears it, he will be angry."

——Sorry, I have something to do today and it’s even later.
