I don't know how long it has been, but the leaves that fell into the dark river were woken up by the pain that came from all over the body like pins and needles, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw the turbid river water. Because of the pinprick pain from the body, Cong Ye understood that he was still alive, but he didn't have Xiang Qing's body in his arms.

Cong Ye wanted to shout loudly, and wanted to go to find Xiang Qing immediately, but the pain never stopped. Moreover, Cong Ye found himself lying on the water, his mouth and nose completely submerged in the river water, but at this time, Cong Ye did not feel a trace of suffocation.

I wanted to turn my body, but I couldn't do it, and it seemed that my limbs didn't listen to me at all. Carefully identifying the specific location of the pain, Cong Ye was surprised to find that all the pinprick pain came from 361 acupuncture points on the 14 meridians of the body. Moreover, each of the acupuncture points in the pain seems to be able to absorb air on its own, that is, the acupuncture points on the front of the body that are immersed in the water, and can also breathe air from the river water.

"How so?"

Cong Ye remembered that there was a very bizarre description in the fantasy novels he had read, saying that cultivators could close their mouths and noses and breathe through their skin, but today it really happened to him, although he did not use his skin to breathe, but relied on the 361 acupuncture points on his body, this fact still made Cong Ye's excited heartbeat instantly quicken.

Even though he couldn't command his body, he could feel that his body was still drifting with the river. There are many swimming fish around the body, and the eyes are sù clump leaves, and the reason why they follow them is because they are gnawing at necrotic muscle tissue from the wounds that cover the body.

It is not difficult to imagine that in the dark river, carried by the fast-flowing water, the body must have collided with the river channel from time to time, so that there is almost no intact skin on the surface of the body of the bush leaves. However, at this time, the cong leaves did not feel the pain from the wound at all because of the pinprick pain coming from the acupuncture points.

At this time, Cong Ye, whose body does not listen to the command at all, can only go with the flow and resign himself to fate. He wanted to raise his head and look at his surroundings, where the river was flowing and where it was in country M, but he couldn't do anything.

In this way, day, night, night, day, the leaves silently counted in their hearts, and after five days, the pain from the acupuncture points began to gradually reduce, and whether it was from the water, or from the air on the back exposed to the water, the breathing of all the acupuncture points became smoother and clearer.

At dusk on the sixth day, Congye was finally able to command his hands and legs a little and make some simple movements, the first thing Congye did was to turn over, changing the posture of facing down to face up, and at the same time, Congye's neck could also be twisted at a small angle, so that he could see the scenery on both sides of the river.

What Congye saw was a completely uninhabited dense jungle, whether it was on the left or right bank of the river.

Another day passed, the pain in the acupuncture points had become non-existent, and the leaves had recovered to a state where they could swim slowly, and despite the rapid flow of the river, after several efforts, they slowly approached the jungle on the left bank of the river. When he finally stood on the land on the shore again, Cong Ye immediately sat down cross-legged, he had never forgotten Xiang Qing who had disappeared in his heart, whether Xiang Qing lived or died, Cong Ye was determined to find her. So, the first thing the bush leaves do when they come out of the river is to restore the body.

As soon as he began to breathe, Congye was stunned by the changes from his body.

With the exhalation of the mouth and nose, the 361 acupuncture points on the fourteen meridians of the body are also automatically absorbing the heaven and earth aura in the air. Even, each acupuncture point is much larger than the amount inhaled through the mouth and nose. After the surprise, Cong Ye simply closed his mouth and nose and relied on the acupuncture points of his whole body to cultivate. Originally, I thought that with the speed of absorbing the aura of heaven and earth at 361 acupuncture points, Cong Ye could be cultivated to the best state in a very short time, but I didn't expect that after a whole night, the true qi in the body had not yet reached a saturated state.

Cong Ye really couldn't understand what kind of changes had happened to his body in this coma.

Another day passed, and when the dusk of the next day came, Cong Ye finally felt that the true Qi was finally filling the corners of his body, and he could no longer absorb a little bit of it, a joy and comfort that he had never had before, so that Cong Ye couldn't help but stand up suddenly, raise his head and let out a long roar.

The next scene once again made Cong Ye's eyes widen in the long roar. Cong Ye clearly saw that the air flow that erupted from his mouth in his long roar actually blew the leaves of a tree a meter away in all directions, and there were a few tender green leaves, and they were even embedded in the trunk of a nearby tree.

The leaf is plucked with his hand, and when he blows it vigorously on his mouth, the leaf easily sinks into the hard trunk, leaving only a little petiole exposed.

To be honest, even Cong Ye himself didn't know how far he had cultivated at this time, and how powerful his own actions were. In order to figure this out, Cong Ye followed the point technique he had practiced before, and bent his finger to the thigh-thick trunk of a tree one meter away. Only a slight "pop" was heard, leaving a small hole in the trunk the size of a little finger. When Bush Leaf walked over and looked, the small hole actually passed through the tree, and the edge of the hole was unusually smooth.

Cong Ye knew that he just had the idea of trying it out just now, and he didn't use all his strength. Next, Congye found a big tree that he could just hug, and flicked his fingers with all his might, still passing through the tree, leaving behind a hole the size of a little finger with smooth edges.

Cong Ye stared at his fingers in disbelief for a long time, then turned around and traced the stream, he wanted to find Xiang Qing, even if he returned to the sinkhole, he must find Xiang Qing.

The bush leaves running with all their strength were only an illusory shadow behind them, and even the beasts in the dense forest did not have time to react to the shadows that flashed from their side.

Along the riverbank, the bush leaves ran until dawn the next day, and no trace of Xiang Qing was found, nor did he find the confluence of the dark river and the river. After thinking about it carefully, Cong Ye guessed that the confluence of the dark river and the current river must be underwater, and if he blindly ran along the riverbank, he would definitely be wrong.

When the opportunity was made, the leaves plunged into the river water, sometimes exposing the surface of the river to look for Xiang Qing's trace, and sometimes sinking into the bottom of the river to look for it. When the leaves swim at full speed in the water, it doesn't seem to be much slower than running on the shore, and if you don't have to check the river surface from time to time to see if there is any sign of sunny weather, you don't need to breathe at all, and it is enough to breathe from the water from the 361 acupuncture points around you. You can even draw aura from the water to replenish your body's consumption.
