Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 19 – Visitor

Su Yun wondered, "These Crocodile Dragon Diagrams are the scattered hand of Crocodile Dragon Song, but why do they appear on my Yellow Clock scale? And what is the purpose of these Crocodile Dragon Diagrams?"

The Yellow Clock is used for timing, and the scattered hand of Crocodile Dragon Song is used for fighting and honing the body, with no connection between them.

However, the scattered hand of Crocodile Dragon Song turned into an imprint and was printed on the scale of the Yellow Clock. Qiu Shuijing and Mr. Wild Fox had never mentioned this.

"There must be a reason why Crocodile Dragon Song is connected to the Yellow Clock, indicating that there must be a relationship between the two."

Su Yun pondered, thinking, "But this relationship has not yet been discovered by me."

The imprint of the scattered hand of Crocodile Dragon Song on the Yellow Clock indicates that the two are subordinate, and the scattered hand of Crocodile Dragon Song is subordinate to the Yellow Clock.

"Maybe in the future, when I cultivate other methods, they will also be imprinted on the Yellow Clock. I only got the Crocodile Dragon pattern on the Yellow Clock after comprehending the scattered hand of Crocodile Dragon Song. Most likely, other methods also need to be cultivated to a high level before they can be imprinted on the Yellow Clock."

He thought of this, and suddenly his blood and energy fluctuated, and a feeling of weakness came over him.

At the same time, Hua Hu saw the Crocodile Dragon that Su Yun's blood had manifested suddenly stop evolving and disappear.

He couldn't help but feel sorry for Su Yun. Just now, Su Yun almost achieved the third achievement of Crocodile Dragon Song, and even one step further could have transformed the Crocodile Dragon into a Jiao Dragon!

Hua Hu told Su Yun what he saw and speculated, "The reason why the transformation was unsuccessful is still due to your insufficient cultivation base to support this transformation."

Su Yun was surprised. He didn't know that these things had happened. He just felt suddenly weak in his blood and energy. Unexpectedly, while he was "observing" the Yellow Clock, his blood and energy were also undergoing transformation!

"It may also be because Little Yun Ge doesn't know much about the transformation into Jiao Dragon," Qing Qiuyue lay on the stretcher and said, "If Little Yun Ge's blood and energy are transformed into Jiao Dragon, there will be four achievements! Therefore, when the whole village transforms from snake form to Jiao Dragon form, Little Yun Ge must go and observe!"

Su Yun pondered. Although he had seen the transformation of Crocodile Dragon into Jiao Dragon in the Immortal Diagram, the Crocodile Dragon was killed by a sudden Immortal Sword the next moment.

Moreover, at that time, he was more concerned about the four Thunder Sounds of Crocodile Dragon and the transformation of Jiao Dragon, and did not pay too much attention to the transformation itself.

Now it seems that he must go to see the transformation of the big black snake in Snake Gorge into Jiao Dragon.

"Although I can't see, I am paying attention to the changes in my blood and energy. I don't need to use my eyes to see. As long as I can capture the changes in the blood and energy when the whole village transforms from snake form to Jiao Dragon form, I can also grasp the changes in my own blood and energy," he thought to himself.

Although his injuries had improved a lot, when he tried to reproduce that sword, his right arm still couldn't withstand the extremely violent blood and energy impact. Su Yun had to endure it and continue to cultivate the Honglu Shifting Technique to toughen his body.

"After the whole village transforms into Jiao Dragon, my injuries will be completely healed, and I should be able to withstand the blood and energy impact."

Finally, the seven-day period arrived, precisely on September 14th, when the moon was not yet full.

Before the sky turned dark, several foxes limped and set off with Su Yun towards Snake Gorge."The Snake Gorge has been quiet all this time. The villagers say he is undergoing tribulation at midnight and we should go early to the upper reaches of the Snake Gorge," Su Yun suggested.

"The upper reaches of the Snake Gorge overlook everything," he added.

The upper reaches of the Snake Gorge had to pass through the Lin Yi Village. Neither Su Yun nor Hua Hu liked to go there. The residents of Lin Yi Village lived in houses built on trees and were noisy, often mocking them.

But this time, they had to pass through Lin Yi Village to get to the upper reaches of the Snake Gorge.

One person and four foxes arrived at Lin Yi Village as the sun set. They saw towering trees all around, blocking out the sky except for occasional glimpses through the cracks.

Lin Yi Village was on a hillside, with houses of all sizes built among the treetops. A group of owl-faced birds stood in front of the small doors, looking at them with strange eyes.

"Lamey..." Suddenly, one of the birds burst into laughter. "Hoo hoo, lamey, plus blindy, two and a half cripples and a disabled person! Hoo hoo!"

The forest suddenly became lively, with the doors of the houses opening and furry heads sticking out of the windows.

The birds laughed and mocked, "The little blindy from Tianmen Town, hoo hoo, with the cripples from Huqiu Village, hoo hoo..."

Su Yun and Hua Hu said nothing and walked along the mountain path, enduring the mockery from Lin Yi Village.

As they walked out of the village, there was suddenly a commotion. One of the birds shouted, "Fellow villagers, the Snake Gorge has been causing trouble for us during every village feast! Whenever our brothers and sisters pass by the Snake Gorge, they are sucked into the gorge and eaten! He is undergoing tribulation tonight and is doomed. Prepare your knives and forks to take his life!"

Su Yun thought, "He has many enemies during the village feasts. He may not be able to undergo tribulation smoothly tonight."

Thinking of tribulation, he could not help but recall the crocodile dragon that was killed by the immortal sword during tribulation in the Immortal Map, feeling uneasy.

Just then, several black cows grazing at the entrance of Lin Yi Village turned around and walked away. One of the black cows stood on two hind legs like a human and shouted, "The Snake Gorge is undergoing tribulation tonight. If he turns into a crocodile dragon, we will not have a good life! Hurry back to the village and get your weapons!"

Another black cow shouted, "Yes! Let's kill him while he is weak tonight!"

The fox demons were stunned.

Su Yun smiled in the direction of the voices, "It seems that a few brothers from Niu Jia Zhuang are talking."

The fox demons looked at each other in confusion.

Hu Bu Ping opened his mouth but was immediately covered by Hua Hu and could not speak. He could only think, "I'm afraid that Brother Xiao Yun thinks that the villagers of Niu Jia Zhuang and Lin Yi Village are all humans..."

On the way to the upper reaches of the Snake Gorge, they also passed by the Alligator Dragon Pool, where they heard people talking. It turned out to be several alligator dragons lying on the bank chatting.

"...The Snake Gorge is undergoing tribulation and wants to turn into a crocodile dragon. He even wants to drink our foot-washing water. He's faster than us! It's unfair!"

"Shall we go kill him?" One of the alligator dragons excitedly raised his head.Other crocodile dragons were like frost-bitten eggplants, muttering to themselves: "I'm not going. It's too far to climb. Whoever wants to go can go. There are too many enemies in the village. We might not survive tonight. No need for us to go looking for trouble... Oh, it's the little blind man from Tianmen Town and the bad guys from Huqiu Village!"

One crocodile dragon spotted Su Yun and his group and got excited, wagging its tail and shouting: "Look here, blind man! Look here! There's something delicious here!"

Another crocodile dragon also got excited and said: "Come over here, and we'll have something delicious!"

The leading crocodile dragon slapped him with its tail and said angrily: "Do you think they'll come even if you say that?"

Su Yun shook his head and thought to himself: "No wonder Mr. Wild Fox often says that the people from Erlong Village are a bunch of fools with useless brains. They're lazy, cunning, and stupid. It's true."

Finally, they arrived at the upper reaches of the Snake Ravine. There was a waterfall formed by a cliff, which divided the cliff into two parts. On the cliff was another pool of water, and another waterfall fell from a higher cliff and crashed into the pool.

The mountain behind the cliff was called the Tomb of the Dragon, which was said to be the dragon's grave. Beyond the Tomb of the Dragon was the Valley of the Fallen Dragon, which was said to be the valley created by the fall of a divine dragon from the sky.

Later, the divine dragon died from its injuries and was buried in the Tomb of the Dragon.

But this was just a legend, and Su Yun and Hua Hu didn't really believe it.

However, the strange thing was that there were many dragon-like monsters near the Tomb of the Dragon, such as the monsters that ate the whole village and the crocodile dragons from Erlong Village.

Su Yun and Hua Hu came to the top of the cliff and saw the bright moonlight shining on the pool, reflecting the dim and unclear sky and the almost full moon.

Su Yun sat on a rock and felt the energy of the big black snake in the waterfall below.

In the waterfall, the big black snake coiled around a rock, and its energy was like a large oval egg.

This egg-shaped energy seemed to be breathing, rising and falling with a long breath. Su Yun tried to breathe with the big black snake, but he didn't have such a long breath and almost suffocated.

"Hey! Besides the energy of the monsters that eat the whole village, there are several other energies that are not weaker than it!" Su Yun immediately noticed that the big black snake was about to transform into a dragon, so its energy was extremely strong. After transforming into a dragon, its strength would surely increase.

Surprisingly, there were several other energies that were no weaker than the big black snake's in the darkness!

Su Yun was shocked and whispered, "Brother Hua, there are four people here who are not weaker than the monsters that eat the whole village!"

Hua Hu's heart trembled slightly. There were four powerful monsters near Tianmen Town?

"Where are they?" He asked urgently.

"Three of them are right in front of us," Su Yun said. "I sensed the other one vaguely, but I don't know its location."

Hua Hu quickly looked at the four figures standing in the moonlight on the opposite mountain, but they were vague and indistinct.

"Xiaoyun, there are four people over there, and they're all human!" Hua Hu whispered.

Su Yun smiled and said, "Of course they're human. What else could they be?"Hua Hu quickly explained, "I mean, they're different from us. They're city people!"

"City people?"

Su Yun's face became serious, "Could it be visitors from Shuofang City? If they are, they might not have come just for the village's food. Maybe they came for me..."
