We arrived early at the Xuanchi, each of us prepared according to the plan from the previous day. Everything was ready, and we were just waiting for Qiu Long to emerge from the water.
Before long, the familiar sound of whistling echoed again, and the water began to churn as Qiu Long surfaced. We anxiously stared at the water's surface, watching as Qiu Long circled a few times without spotting any prey, seemingly a bit irritated.
It let out another howl, louder and more piercing, reverberating throughout the valley. We covered our ears, trying hard not to be affected by it. After a while, Qiu Long calmed down and slowly extended its head toward the shore, as if preparing to dive back into the water.
We were all tense, our palms sweating and hearts racing. Just then, A Meng suddenly shouted loudly and charged forward with the Dragon-Slaying Sword in hand. Upon hearing the commotion, Qiu Long quickly turned its head.
Seeing A Meng with the Treasure Blade, it seemed momentarily stunned. At that moment, A Meng had already reached the shore and swung the Treasure Blade toward Qiu Long's neck. Sensing danger, Qiu Long swiftly jerked its head to avoid A Meng's attack.
Then it opened its mouth wide and lunged at A Meng. We screamed in fright, and Da Huang, seeing this, also shouted and rushed forward. It seemed that Qiu Long recognized Da Huang; upon seeing it charge, Qiu Long halted its attack and even retreated a bit.
We were overjoyed at this development. It appeared that Qiu Long indeed recognized Da Huang, giving us hope for victory in this battle. Encouraged by this thought, we gathered our courage and charged alongside Da Huang.
Qiu Long didn’t seem afraid of us; instead, it focused on Da Huang and continued to emit howls. Da Huang was equally defiant, barking fiercely at Qiu Long. Thus began a standoff between the dragon and the dog.
We took the opportunity to rush to the shore, raising our weapons and striking fiercely at Qiu Long. It seemed that Qiu Long was not afraid of our attacks; it just kept shaking its head, dodging our blows. Our weapons hit Qiu Long's body as if striking steel, producing a clanging sound. Our arms felt sore and numb, yet we could not inflict any damage on Qiu Long.
Qiu Long appeared to be annoyed by us and suddenly turned its head, opening its large mouth and lunging towards us. We screamed in fear and turned to run. Qiu Long chased closely behind us, and we were terrified, running for our lives.
After running for a while, a massive rock suddenly appeared in front of us. We hurriedly hid behind the rock, holding our breath, afraid of being discovered by Qiu Long. When Qiu Long reached this spot, it seemed to lose track of us and stopped pursuing; instead, it began to circle around the rock.
We trembled with anxiety, fearing that Qiu Long would find us. After circling a few times, Qiu Long seemed to grow bored and stopped moving, quietly staring at the rock. Our hearts raced as we fixed our gaze on Qiu Long, terrified that it might suddenly attack.
After watching the rock for a while, Qiu Long suddenly opened its mouth wide and spewed out a cloud of white mist. The mist floated down gently onto the rock, instantly forming a thick layer of ice. We were so frightened that we jumped up and fled from the rock. Seeing us emerge, Qiu Long chased after us once more.
We ran desperately as Qiu Long pursued us relentlessly. Suddenly, a deep ravine appeared before us.
