Chapter 37: Madness on the Yu River
In the early spring of the Yu River, the ice was broken, and the broken ice blocks of different sizes densely covered the one-mile-wide Yu River. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Under the dual action of flowing meltwater and cold wind, the broken ice ridge hits from time to time to make a loud "bang" sound, and occasionally there is a "squeak" sound produced by friction and extrusion.
"Whew~"
The cold wind from the "Luo Wilderness" in the far north howls on the surface of the river, and sometimes there is a whistle-like sound, as if telling the chaotic situation on the Yu River.
However, Zishang and Baili Cat and others had to take the risk of crossing the river at this time.
Gao Yanghuang behind him had already chased after him, and the nine people no longer grinded, and quickly stepped on the ice that was relatively intact twenty or thirty feet on the edge.
The one who rushed to the front was not the strongest Baili Cat, but the lowest realm of the sub-merchant.
In the winter of Shigu Village, although there is no large area of ice on Changshan Lake, the water at the bottom of the 18 rivers upstream and the river bay is completely frozen.
At that time, the merchants often played on the frozen river, and the experience of falling into the cold water was not uncommon.
In addition to the cruel winter training three years ago, I winterized in the small lake in the middle of the depression on a cold day, although the lake water did not freeze in a large area, but it was also a zero degree water temperature, and sometimes when swimming, there would be free ice ballast, thin ice cubes or something.
So among these nine people, he is the master of playing ice.
He ran directly on the shore, then half-squatted on the ice and skated directly three or four feet away.
The geographical location of the Yu River is thousands of miles north of Shigu Village, and there is no high mountain block nearby, the temperature is lower, and the ice layer is much thicker, generally more than one foot, so the carrying capacity is still quite high.
Zhan Chenjian was used by him as a ski pole to support the ground left and right, and his feet swung back and forth rhythmically, as if he was skating.
If it weren't for the thick ice, he wouldn't have dared to play like this. After the ravages of Zishang, the more than a foot thick ice behind him was a little afraid to bear the burden, and there were many small cracks.
Baili Mao and the others saw that Zishang overtook them a lot after a while, and couldn't help but learn him, although he was a little embarrassed because of his poor skills, but the speed was faster.
After the prodigal son of Baili Eight slipped for almost fifteen zhang, Gao Yanghuang also rushed to the river.
Seeing that the nine people were really climbing the ice to cross the river in the cold wind, they hesitated for a moment, and also roared and chased after them.
Although he has not practiced any powerful light exercises, he still knows the most basic method of light weight.
Gathering the true qi of his whole body, he walked briskly on the ice, but he still slipped from time to time.
In less than ten breaths, the leading merchant had already stepped into the pile of broken ice.
Once here, it becomes extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will step into the air and fall into the biting water, and it is difficult and time-consuming to climb out.
Some places are fine, mainly ice cubes that are half a zhang to several zhang square.
Although those places may be one or two feet higher than other ice surfaces because of the accumulation of ice cubes, you must lift your body lightly and pass quickly, without hesitation, otherwise it may lead to instability and direct planting into the river.
Of course, if you're lucky, the crushed ice is denser and more compact, so you won't fall into the water if you lie down that way.
However, they are now running for their lives, and they don't have the time to lie down and drift with the flow.
The head of the merchant "charged" in such a pile of broken ice without looking back.
And Baili Cat and the others and Gao Yanghuang were still chasing on the ice.
However, because of the change of venues, the realm advantage of Gaoyang Wilderness is not obvious, and after chasing for a while, the distance has not been shortened much.
However, after observing the practices of Baili Cat and others, he also thought of a way.
Gao Yang Huang stood still in place, and then the true qi gathered on the rifting axe, and a quick turn threw the giant axe out, due to the urging of the true qi, the power of the giant axe when it was thrown out was very large, and it directly took him to slide nine zhang!
Everywhere he passed, the ice was full of cracked ice crevasses, and there was a constant creaking and cracking sound.
At this time, he was less than three zhang away from the last hundred-mile bear and the second bear!
"Boom!"
As soon as the gliding body stopped, Gao Yanghuang poured his true qi into his legs, kicked the ground violently, and directly collapsed the thick ice layer in a range of nearly two zhang, jumped into the air, and waved a giant axe at the Baili Big Bear and the Second Bear.
At this time, Zishang happened to step on a large block of ice with a radius of one zhang and stabilized his body, and when he turned around, he happened to see Gao Yanghuang slashing at Baili Erxiong with his teeth and claws in the air.
"Be careful!"
Feeling the powerful true qi fluctuations behind them, the two bear brothers tacitly raised their fists and smashed towards the ice with all their strength.
Click!
The two smashed open the ice, plunged directly into the icy river, and quickly retreated towards the ice behind them.
Thump!
Gao Yanghuang's giant axe almost grazed the back of the hundred-mile bear, but fortunately, the two of them still dodged.
The powerful true qi fluctuations set off a big wave in the water, and the hundred-mile big bear and the second bear swam diagonally forward against this wave.
The vision in the water was not good, Gao Yanghuang observed around for a breath or two before he saw the two brothers three zhang away, and chased after him without hesitation.
And several people on the ice saw the three people falling into the water, and they gathered one after another.
But the ice is almost milky white, and the transparency is so low that you can't see the underwater scene at all.
"Cross the river, I'll go down and see!"
Zishang shouted at them as he put the Zhanchen Sword into the storage ring, and regardless of the reaction of the six people, he directly cleared a pile of ice and jumped into the biting river.
However, the wind was too strong on the river, and Zishang was downwind, Baili Mao and the others only vaguely heard what he said, but the specific content was not clear.
"Hey!
"What should I do, big brother!" Baili Hu anxiously asked Baili Cat.
"There's no way! Let's go to the front first, as long as the big bear and the second bear are not injured, we will definitely find a way to get over, we can only go to meet them first." Baili Cat said helplessly.
"Don't worry, it's not so easy to kill the two bears under the water, and I believe that they won't be so easy to kill!"
But in fact, he and Baili Cat were sweating in their hearts.
It is easy to cramp in such biting water, and it is very harmful to the eyes, and accidents can occur if you are not careful.
Moreover, the realm of Gaoyang Wilderness is higher, the true qi reserves are larger, and it is more obvious in the water, and the big bear and the second bear may not be able to successfully escape.
The six of them had no other choice but to rush to the crushed ice beach in front as quickly as possible to carefully search for the traces of the three of them and prepare to respond.
After entering the water, Zishang searched around and saw a black shadow swimming in the water, he noted the speed and direction of the black shadow's swimming, and then quickly drilled out of the river covered by ice.
Scrambling to stabilize himself on a pile of ice, Zishang estimated his position and rushed over to that side.
After a few breaths, Zishang arrived at the guessed position, only to find that the broken ice a few steps away was obviously disturbed by something, and even Zishang could faintly see a black shadow.
He excitedly turned his head and shouted to Baili Mao and the others who were more than 20 zhang away: "Hey~ I found them......!
Before he finished shouting, Zishang saw a scene that made him break out in a cold sweat.
The six Baili Cats stood in a row in the crushed ice area, anxiously looking for the figures of Baili Big Bear, Erxiong and Zishang.
"Wow!"
A hand stretched out from the gap in the ice, and then I saw the two bears of Baili burrowing their heads, and then the big bears of Baili also came out.
The nearest crocodile immediately came over and pulled them onto the big ice block where he was.
However, the merchants in the distance were confused......
Then he gasped deeply, his eyes widened, and the cold sweat behind his back soaked his clothes.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
I heard a loud bang behind me, and a pile of broken ice scattered and exploded.
Zhan Chen's sword was instantly pulled out of the storage ring, and he turned around and threw the sword directly behind him.
Tragically, a block of ice the size of a pig's head preceded the unknown creature. Zishang slashed open the ice cube that had inadvertently flown over with a sword, but opened the empty door wide open to the creature.
"Bang!"
The huge body directly knocked Zi Shang three feet away, and Zi Shang also saw the face of the huge creature clearly in an instant.
"Dead Fish!"
"Ahh
The difference is that it finally slowly sinks into the water.
Dead fish, a small number of exotic beasts preserved in ancient times, mostly live in turbid rivers, carnivores, but often "poor" to eat soil.
Legend has it that in ancient times, they had jet-black and shiny scale armor, and the three rows of sharp and dense teeth in their large mouths looked extremely hideous, but they also looked domineering.
And yet now......
The rough, somewhat rotten earthy yellow body, with the occasional handful of fish bones, and the fangs, although still three rows, are sparse and sparse, and have fallen out a lot.
And after the Ancient Catastrophe, their habits also changed.
Because there are usually few other fish in the area where the dead fish live, although they are carnivores, they often feed on river bottom silt because of their mutation.
However, once they encounter live animals, they will prey on them like a hungry man seeing meat.
The dead fish that Zishang encountered had not eaten meat for two months.
However, this ancient fish is not small, and it is estimated that it has survived for more than 50 years.
"Inuyoyuki!"
Zishang cursed, got up from the ice pile, and ran into the distance.
However, his eyes unabashedly exuded murderous intent!
……
"Poof!" The hundred-mile bear and the second bear who had just come out of the cold water spit out the water in their stomachs, and then the big bear gasped and said in a slightly panicked voice: "Hurry! Hurry up......!
Before the words fell, an axe stretched out from under the ice, and Gao Yanghuang's burly figure climbed onto the ice, looking at the prodigal son in embarrassment.
"Wait, damn it!"
Gao Yanghuang adjusted his breathing and tried to recover his state, from the pursuit to the present, his consumption was a bit large, and on this broken and chaotic ice, if he wanted to kill these people, he would inevitably consume his true qi greatly.
Although he had a strategy, it was a bit risky, and the results were not necessarily ideal.
But he doesn't care anymore, he can't reconcile at this time, and then go back in disgrace.
At least one-third of the combat power of the Emperor Soul Army was wiped out by them, how could Gaoyang Wilderness give up?
"Hmph, this is not land, what do you have to kill us?"
Ignoring the threat of the Gaoyang Wilderness, Baili Cat took out his crossbow bolt again, and Baili Lion also took out a brown metal bow from the storage props.
Indeed, in such an environment, Baili and the others were not afraid of the Gaoyang Wilderness at all when they used long-range weapons.
Even, who kills who is not certain!
Looking at the long-range weapons that suddenly appeared in the hands of Baili Cat and Baili Lion, Gao Yanghuang was so hateful that the roots of his teeth itched.
He didn't have any storage in a high-level Qi Refining Realm, but these young people actually did!
"Sure enough, it's a deep background! However, who knows if this barren mountain and wild mountain will be killed!"
But he still regretted it a little, who would have known that these young people were so strong, and as a high-level Qi Refining Realm that had been in the realm for many years, he also had some hole cards.
But without storage props, he can't put so many things on his body at any time, right?
So to deal with them, Gao Yanghuang's only reliance is to have a lot more true qi than them!
A strong whirlwind gradually formed around Gao Yanghuang's body, supporting him to stand steadily in the ice.
The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.
However, at their feet, hundreds of "dead fish" gathered......
