Chapter 173 I wanted to be a hero, but I was kicked back (please subscribe!)

In this way, Zhu Gui controlled the magic weapon to fly, Li Xiuxiu was on guard, and the puppet Xiao An provided support. Everything seemed to be going well.

It flew another twenty miles.

Zhu Gui didn't know whether he had left the city.

It was raining so heavily that he couldn't see the scenery ahead clearly. He could only fly out based on the direction of the water flow.

Suddenly, the rain increased in intensity again.

The crackling sound was like a firecracker exploding in front of the shield outside the green vine armor. It seemed that it was not rain, but knives.

Zhu Gui's figure couldn't help but sway.

He felt that his mana consumption suddenly increased by several percent, and he quickly swallowed another elixir to restore his mana.

In just a short time, he had already swallowed three pills.

"Something's wrong."

He accelerated his flying speed, and a shadow suddenly fell over his heart.

"What's wrong, Brother Zhu?"

Li Xiuxiu asked after seeing this.

Zhu Gui replied: "It's okay. If you hold on for a while, you will find a safe place soon."

At this moment, the water surface in front of us suddenly rose, and a huge wave that was once more than ten meters high suddenly rolled up and crashed over us.

On the wave, several green-skinned weirdos were holding harpoons and making random noises.

"Brother Zhu, be careful!"

Zhu Gui didn't need to be reminded by Li Xiuxiu, he had already controlled the green vine armor and tried to rise higher in an attempt to avoid the waves.

But the harpoons in the hands of those weirdos had all been thrown towards them.

The harpoon had a dark green shimmer, and its speed was obviously much faster than Zhu Gui's flying speed.

At this moment, Zhu Gui was unable to dodge in order to protect the person standing on the green vine armor.

He moved forward to block.

Clang clang clang!

Zhu Gui's exposed skin suddenly turned black, and a layer of wrinkles appeared like scales. When the harpoon hit his body, it only made the sound of gold and iron clashing.

But Zhu Gui was blocked like this, and the Green Vine Armor's lift-off speed suddenly stopped.

The wave had already hit, and even though it only missed the side, it still broke the protective shield on the Green Vine Armor's body, causing the Green Vine Armor to stagger and almost turn over.

Zhu Gui had no intention of paying attention to the few weirdos who suddenly disappeared. He devoted himself wholeheartedly, opened the mana shield again, and quickly controlled the green vine armor to stabilize it.

At this time, Li's father, Li's mother and other ordinary people all turned into drowned rats, all wet and their faces turned pale with fear.

Fortunately, they still understood their situation, and they all covered their mouths and did not dare to shout out to distract Zhu Gui.

But his eyes were still wide open, his breathing was rapid, and his heart was beating fast.

"Fuck them all!"

Li Xiuxiu suddenly shouted, and all the sweaty talismans in her hands exploded backwards.

They saw that the strange man who had just disappeared unexpectedly appeared behind them and rushed towards them with bared teeth and claws.

The talismans all exploded, water arrows, wind blades, golden light...

But these weirdos were obviously not the kind of monsters she had dealt with before.

I saw them grinning ferociously, revealing the sharp teeth in their mouths, and something like blue fish fins on their cheeks were trembling violently.

When these talisman attacks hit them, a layer of water shield appeared around them, with only a few ripples splashing.

When you see them, you will pounce on them.

A small figure flashed past, its golden fist shining like the sharpest magic weapon in the world.

With one punch, three bloody flowers bloomed in the air.

When the figure stopped, it was Xu Xinlan's guardian puppet Xiao An.

He maintained the appearance of a young child, suspended to one side blankly, showing no trace of the ferocious aura he had just now.

Li Xiuxiu turned to look at Xu Xinlan, who was also pale. She didn't say anything, just nodded. Then she swallowed a pill and took out a few more talismans in her hand.

Seeing that the attack behind him had been neutralized, Zhu Gui saw a huge shadow swimming past under the water before he could take a breath.

A premonition of danger throbbed in his heart.

He looked ugly, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

"What's wrong, Brother Zhu?"

Seeing that Green Vine Armor suddenly stopped moving, Li Xiuxiu asked hurriedly.

Zhu Guidao: "We are being targeted."

"What's being targeted?"

"There is another big one under the water, and it may have been following us along the way."

Zhu Gui looked at the unabated rain outside the shield, and suddenly felt helpless. He was just a little zombie.

"Then what should we do? Keep walking?" Li Xiuxiu asked.

Zhu Gui sighed: "I'm afraid it doesn't want to let us go anymore. The huge wave that suddenly appeared just now was caused by it on purpose."

He tried to control the green vine armor to fly forward, and saw that the water surface seemed to be boiling, as if another wave was about to rise.

When he stopped moving, the movement on the water surface also stopped.

Zhu Gui stared at the shadow under the water with solemn eyes.

"It looks like it wants to consume us."

"Can't you fly higher?"

Xu Xinlan also saw a huge shadow under the water, almost as big as a room.

"It is under the water. If we fly higher, it may not be able to find us."

Zhu Gui sighed: "The higher we fly, the greater my mana consumption. And it keeps staring at us and will interfere. I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you."

And who says monsters in the water won't fly into the sky.

Zhu Gui even suspected that the underwater monster was a foundation-building monster or something else. He was just afraid of being defeated by them, so he deliberately consumed his mana in order to kill them at the minimum cost.

This made him more certain that the underwater monsters were as intelligent as humans.

Seeing that Zhu Gui was helpless, everyone fell silent. The air became dead silent for a while, and there was only the sound of rain pounding in their ears, as if it would never stop.

Zhu Gui was silent for a moment and said: "Miss Xu, let Xiao An take you away first. There is only one monster. We stay here and be its target."

Xu Xinlan shook her head firmly:

"I won't leave. I'm the only one left. Even if I survive, what's the use?"

She stroked the tablet in her arms: "At least in the end, I am still with my grandpa."

As she spoke, an optimistic smile appeared on her face.

"And what if the rain stops? Since the monster doesn't dare to attack us directly, it must be afraid of something. Now it's just relying on the environment to consume us.

When the rain passes and the sky clears up, none of us will die by then."

But will the rain stop?

It rained continuously all day and all night. Not only did it not stop at all, the water level also rose several meters.

Zhu Gui had no choice but to grit his teeth and raise the magic weapon again.

Now, almost every half an hour, he has to swallow a pill to restore his magic power. Thanks to Li Xiuxiu, a little rich woman, otherwise he really doesn't know how to persevere.

But rich women also have their limits.

After all, Li Xiuxiu is just a novice in Qi refining. No matter how kind her brother and sister-in-law are to her, they will not prepare too many foundation-building elixirs for her.

Zhu Gui poured out the elixir bottle, but never poured out another elixir.

This action made the people on the Green Vine Armor tremble.

They knew it was time to make a choice. When Zhu Gui really ran out of money, they would not even have the chance to choose.

Father Li and Mother Li, who had been silent, looked at each other and finally said:

"Xiao Zhu, forget it, you've done well enough, it's all our useless people who have dragged you down.

Don't worry about us anymore. I just ask you to take Axiu and my little brother away. Even if we die, we can feel at ease."

"don't want!"

Li Xiuxiu shook her head violently, her eyes filled with tears.
