Chapter Seventy-Five: Three Days of Horror (16)
The section of the river where Xu Chen arranged the retreat happened to be upstream of Yanziji, and the sailboat was moving forward quickly, and it didn't take long for Hao Xin at the head of the north gate of Shengzhou to shout at Zhou Kang: "Fourth brother, look!"
As soon as Zhou Kang turned around, on the river reflected by the setting sun, a white-sailed boat was speeding down from upstream.
"It looks like it's time to execute a backup plan!" Zhou Kang understood what the ship meant. So, he quickly ordered: "Remove the horizontal lock on the river, let Lin Jin and them get ready!"
Xu Chen had handed over all the defense of Shengzhou to Lao Zhoukang in the name of the ambassador of Shengzhou in advance, and there was a letter from Xu Fan and the acquiescence of Shengzhou Taishou, even though Shengzhou's Zhichong Lieutenant had a lot of complaints, but he still chose to obey under strong pressure. And after this half-day siege, he found that this teenager was indeed not Zhao Kuo on paper, the battle to defend the city was clear-sighted, and the rebels attacked the city wall several times but were stopped by him.
For this reason, Zhou Kang now gave an order, and the soldiers of Shengzhou immediately carried it out.
A moment later, the two iron cables that were horizontal on the river quickly sank to the bottom, and the boats of the Shengzhou Navy Division also moved to both sides, emptying the enclosed river. Immediately afterwards, two white sailing boats of the same style sailed out of the dock on the south bank, and it was not long before they joined the incoming ships upstream.
The two boats were parallel, but Xu Chen asked Chai Lao to jump to a nearby ship with him.
As soon as he gained a firm foothold, Xu Chen rushed to Lin Jin, who came up, and asked eagerly, "How is it?
"It's been built, but the time is pressing, only one one is built, and I haven't had time to try it, and I don't know how it performs. Lin Jin replied.
"No matter, as long as it's made according to the drawings!Take me to see it first!" Xu Chen pulled Lin Jin impatiently, and was about to run towards the cabin.
At this moment, in the upper reaches of the river, that is, the road where Xu Chen came, a terrible angry cry suddenly sounded.
"Savage, I'm going to kill you!"
The monstrous hatred conveyed in the angry cry made Xu Chen, who was far away, still have a numb scalp.
"Hurry! Full speed ahead!" Xu Chen didn't have time to enter the cabin this time, so he hurriedly beckoned the sailors on the ship to turn on their horsepower and leave at full speed.
Not long after the angry roar came, the river water reflected red by the sunset began to tumble violently, and a straight wave of water came straight towards Xu Chen.
"Under the water?" Xu Chen looked at the splashing waves on the river, frowned and said softly.
"No! It's stealth again!"
The waves on the surface of the river are like the cleaving waves of a clipper, spreading from the center to both sides, while the fish moving quickly in the water is driving the waves on the surface from the depths, and the shape is clearly different.
"Why? Why do you want to be invisible? Still don't want us ants to see it? If that's the case, then why don't you dive underwater? Isn't the stealth sigil supposed to be expensive?"
Although it was on the battlefield with an imminent crisis, Xu Chen's thinking was still running at a high speed, and he was thinking about something that seemed inconsequential to ordinary people. However, Xu Chen obviously didn't think so, and any clues about the mysterious people were likely to become the key to Xu Chen's dealings with them in the future.
"Could it be that they are afraid of water? Shouldn't they? When the first few people decomposed, a lot of water obviously fell out of their bodies! Could it be that those transparent liquids are not water?" Xu Chen just thought of a possibility, but he couldn't verify it with the facts, so he shook his head and rejected it, and then thought again: "Or is it just taboo to dive underwater? Yes! Since toxins are everywhere, then there are probably more of them underwater, even more than other places!"
These three white sailboats are river-sea dual-purpose sailboats that have been improved by the river, and the size of the boats is not as large as the flying scissor sailboats, but the speed of the flying scissors is retained to the greatest extent, so that the sailing boats can still have the same speed as the sea in the rivers and lakes. Moreover, the hull of the ship was reinforced, and several huge bed crossbows and hard-loaded spring ballistae were densely packed in the cabins on both sides, which greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the entire ship.
After the white sailboat was full, the speed was pulled up in a moment, and at this moment it was just smooth sailing, and the three sailboats were really like three white dragons speeding forward on the river, and the speed was even a few points faster than the wave behind him! Xu Chen, who was free, immediately thought: "There are also things underwater? And there are more things! What is it?"
"It's definitely not animals and plants, aquatic animals and plants can't be everywhere! Is it water? Just kidding, there is no water in the desert for thousands of miles!"
The more Xu Chen thought about it, the more he couldn't grasp the point, and he scratched his head irritably.
"Everywhere! Everywhere!What the hell is everywhere!" Xu Chen scratched his head vigorously, and his muttering voice became louder and louder, and the bun he had just grown was also messed up by him, but no one around had just stepped forward to disturb him.
The teenagers all know that the appearance of the eldest brother must be an extremely important thing to think, and they must not interrupt the eldest brother's thoughts at this time!
"Everywhere!Damn, what else is everywhere besides air!" As soon as these words came out, even Xu Chen was shocked by himself!
"That's right! It's everywhere, but it's just air! And these guys' aura bracelets will all have symptoms of violent panting after they are used up, isn't this just the appearance of suffocation after lack of air!" Xu Chen tried to solve the mystery of the mysterious man's toxin according to the common sense of ordinary people, and it seemed to be the same, but the excitement on Xu Chen's face only lasted for a moment, and then he frowned again: "No! If the air is a toxin, isn't the air content in the water even lower? Then why don't they walk out of the water? Isn't it water?" What kidding!"
"Alas......" Xu Chen thought about it for a long time and still couldn't come up with an explainable answer, so he had to give up.
And behind the three sailboats, above the speeding waves, there were really the three people of Yuntianhe who were chasing closely.
At this moment, the three of them were a little wolf, and just now the entire Jubao Mountain was blown up by the explosives planted by Xu Chen in advance. At the time of the explosion, the three of them rushed to the mountainside, and the huge boulders rushed down from the top of the mountain, and the rocks under their feet continued to collapse, and some explosives on the surface were ignited one by one. The shock wave of the explosion, wrapped in huge mountain rocks, rushed towards the three of them like the sky and the earth cracking.
In a short period of time, three days experienced the biggest crisis in his life.
For this reason, Murong Chong couldn't help but roar angrily as soon as he rushed out.
At this moment, the three of them were shrouded in a transparent ball, speeding up the river.
"Senior Brother Yun's attainments in the talisman path are getting higher and higher, and this invisibility talisman can actually cover the three of us. Ren Hengzhi smiled meaningfully.
"Hehe, how can it compare to Brother Ren's Hun Tianzhu, if it weren't for Brother Ren's help this time, I'm afraid that the two of us would die on the mountain!" Yun Tianhe also said with a smile.
Ren Hengzhi smiled freely and didn't say anything.
"By the way, it's better for Brother Ren to lift the seat of this dzi a little! In this way, the waves under our feet can also be eliminated, so as not to expose our whereabouts. Yun Tianhe continued.
"Yes, there is such a thing here, wouldn't Senior Brother Yun's invisibility talisman be used in vain!" Murong Chong said in the same awe.
After Yun Tianhe and Murong Chong finished speaking, they stared at Ren Hengzhi tightly, and Ren Hengzhi had no choice but to obey the wishes of the two and raise the position of Hun Tianzhu. As soon as the seat was high, the river lost its impact, and the violent waves calmed down in an instant.
"Are you satisfied?" asked Ren Hengzhi with a wry smile.
Yun Tianhe and Murong Chong glanced at each other and nodded silently.
Yun Tianhe and Murong Chong seemed to be specifically targeting Ren Hengzhi! The reason why the two of them did this was because when Jubaoshan exploded, Ren Hengzhi's actions made the two of them alert to their motives.
At the time of the explosion, the three of them opened the defensive treasure in the first time, and the body protection qi was also opened to the maximum, but Yun Tianhe had already consumed the aura of an aura bracelet when he fell into Xu Chen's trap before, and in the face of this more violent impact, although Yun Tianhe was fully prepared, he actually did not have much confidence in his heart to support it. After all, once the aura is exhausted, Yun Tianhe will also die.
It was also at this critical moment that Murong Chong actually shared the defensive magic weapon he carried with Yun Tianhe, and at the same time occupied the majority of the output of the aura, retaining the aura in the Yun Tianhe aura bracelet to the greatest extent.
In this way, Murong Chong, who was equivalent to protecting the two of them, naturally disappeared quickly. After a while, the aura bracelet on Murong Chong's hand was consumed, and he decisively replaced it with a spare aura bracelet.
And it was not until this moment that Ren Hengzhi on the side let go of his magic weapon "Hun Tianzhu" and let the two of them enter.
After the two entered, they didn't suspect him at first, and under the guidance of Ren Hengzhi, they injected their own spiritual energy into the armillary bead species to maintain the defense of the armillary bead.
The three of them rushed to the foot of Jubao Mountain with the Heavenly Bead on their heads, dodging the attack like a landslide.
And when the danger was temporarily resolved, the exhausted Yun Tianhe and Murong Chong found that Ren Hengzhi on the side was extremely relaxed!
Looking at the aura bracelet in his hand again, there was still a small amount of aura left! The two of them could see clearly that the aura bracelet in Ren Hengzhi's hand was not his spare aura bracelet, but the aura bracelet he had been using all along!
Yun Tianhe and Murong Chong were not stupid people, and they understood in a moment that it must have been the other party who had done something on the Heavenly Dzi, causing the two of them to consume more spiritual energy.
If it is in the domain, it is fine, after all, the aura can be replenished, but in this wild place, except for taking forbidden drugs like Senior Brother Ma and exchanging vitality for a little aura, the disappeared aura can no longer be replenished.
It can be said that Reiki is life!
But Ren Hengzhi thought carefully at such a critical moment, no matter what his purpose was, how could Yun Tianhe and Murong Chong not have a little defense against him?
After the armillary bead is elevated, it is equivalent to flying in mid-air, and Ren Hengzhi, the user, naturally consumes more aura!
The three of them stood in the Hun Tianzhu with their own thoughts, these three people were not "good students" like Senior Brother Ma, compared to their own lives, the task of the sect was naturally nothing......
