Chapter 46: Underwater
Zhou Chen dived underwater and found that the water of the red spring was harmless, so he opened his eyes with confidence. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although his underwater vision was seriously obstructed, with Zhou Chen's extraordinary eyesight, he could still help him quickly grasp the surrounding environment.
Of course, if he found that the spring water was harmful to his eyes, Zhou Chen could also choose to close his eyes and only use his soul thoughts to detect it.
Zhou Chen's diving ability was originally obtained from the memory of "Leper Eighteen", and later he completely mastered this ability after using it more, and it became stronger and stronger.
This kind of underwater ability of his, even in the entire "Soul Martial Continent", is unparalleled. Unless someone has the ability to correspond to the martial soul, ordinary martial artists don't want to compare with Zhou Chen in terms of underwater skills.
For example, Xiao Jie, who followed Zhou Chen into the water, his swimming and diving skills were also very good, but he was thrown away by Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen's diving speed was too fast, and when Xiao Jie was just kicked into the water by the girl in red, he could still see Zhou Chen's back, but he lost his trace in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Jie knew that Gu Qi had a few pounds and taels in the past, why did he suddenly surpass himself in the water?
He was very unconvinced and didn't want to lose to this former "friend", so he held back his strength and dived with all his might.
He uses his hands and feet at the same time, and his swimming posture is very similar to that of a frog, and his movements are not ugly, but very coordinated, allowing him to dive smoothly and quickly.
But after maintaining this speed for a long time and diving to a certain depth, Xiao Jie still failed to catch up with Zhou Chen.
On the contrary, the surrounding environment made him have to slow down.
He didn't know how deep it was, but the spring around him was getting harder and harder, and the red was getting darker and deeper, which made him worry about whether the spring water was harmful.
Moreover, except for the original red-scaled crocodile, I didn't encounter a fierce beast all the way down, but I just saw a lot of harmless ordinary small fish. Then at this moment, it has been deep enough, and it is time for the fierce beast to appear.
Xiao Jie's instincts have always been accurate.
He was now more cautious because the spring water was too red to see his surroundings, and he thought that the beast must not be far away, and might take advantage of this obstructed view to attack him.
Twitter!
Suddenly, a sharp and piercing sound came into Xiao Jie's ears, causing him to feel a tingling pain, and he immediately covered his ears with both hands.
At the same time, he suddenly received a violent blow from the back, knocking his body forward.
"Wow!"
This time it was really not light, and it directly made Xiao Jie spit out a mouthful of blood.
And as soon as he opened his mouth and vomited blood, the spring water poured into his mouth.
"Woooooo
Xiao Jie ignored the pain in his back, quickly closed his mouth, and covered it with his hands, so as not to swallow a large amount of water again, so that he might die here!
What the hell is going on? What's attacking me?
He had such doubts, but the urgency of the situation was too late to think about them, and he didn't even have time to turn his head to see what had hit him.
All he had to do at this moment was to get back to the surface as soon as possible, breathe heavily, and then spit out the water that had been poured into his stomach.
He covered his mouth with one hand and swayed his legs vigorously in the water to help his body float quickly.
However, it's not that easy!
A pitch-black shadow approached him at this moment, and then behind him, slamming into it.
Boom!
This is the second time.
The back was hit continuously, but Xiao Jie stubbornly did not vomit blood again this time, but held it stiffly.
But his injuries are worse and he is in a life-and-death crisis.
He had to swim up quickly, he needed to breathe.
But the existence that attacked him obviously wouldn't let him go so easily.
How, exactly?
I can only fight!
This is the time to use all his strength to fight hard, Xiao Jie's eyebrows flashed, and a fist pattern appeared.
Not a fist, to be precise, but a fist!
What Xiao Jie awakened is a Xuan-level weapon martial soul, this martial soul is called "Strange Force", which has no attributes, and its ability is to increase the strength of the martial artist. However, the degree of power increase of this kind of martial soul is far greater than that of martial souls with the same increase in strength such as "Red Scale Crocodile" and "Iron Hammer". Once someone awakens the "strange power" martial spirit, they can immediately change from an ordinary person to a strong man.
The ranking of "Strange Power" is extremely high among the Xuan-level martial spirits, and most people generally believe that it can be ranked in the top five.
In fact, if it weren't for the use of this kind of martial spirit, it would have a great load on the body of the martial artist, and its ranking could have risen even further.
Xiao Jie comes from a second-rate family, is a concubine, and has limited cultivation resources since he was a child. Originally, what he cultivated was only the yellow-level exercise "Water Wolf Strength" assigned to him by his family, but later, when he was on a solo adventure, he inadvertently obtained the "Nine Oxen and Two Tiger Skills" from the belly of a fierce beast.
This "Nine Cows and Two Tigers" is a practice that takes into account both qi refining and body refining, and the cows and tigers referred to in it are naturally not ordinary creatures, but fierce beasts!
According to the description of the exercises, if you practice the exercises to the extreme, you can obtain the power equivalent to the nine-headed mad-eyed demon cow and the two-headed demon king tiger.
The breath is too big!
When Xiao Jie saw this description, he initially thought so.
But when he really cultivated this exercise, he knew that it was true!
At least the ground-level exercises!
He made a judgment.
"Nine Cows and Two Tigers" has an ordinary effect in refining qi, which is similar to the general Xuan-level exercises, but in refining the body, it is too powerful.
Body refining exercises are a big category, and there are naturally various differences among them.
Some exercises focus on the bones, some focus on the muscles and veins, and of course the best exercises are to exercise the internal organs.
Xiao Jie's "Nine Bulls and Two Tigers" is basically based on improving the strength of muscles and bones, supplemented by increasing the toughness of muscles and veins. When the muscles and bones are strong, a person's strength can be increased exponentially. It is more efficient than simply improving muscle strength.
And this whole exercise also has a focus, and the greatest increase in strength after cultivation is the limbs, followed by the chest, abdomen and back.
The head, neck, and even the crotch, etc., these parts are difficult to train strength.
It was precisely because of the exercises that Xiao Jie improved his physique that he could still have the power to resist after being hit twice in the back. If you come over as other martial artists of the same realm, I am afraid that you will lose your ability to act after the first blow.
And now, Xiao Jie is in a critical moment, and he must use his martial soul to fight hard.
The "strange power" martial soul cannot be used more, otherwise the load on the body will be too great. But Xiao Jie's exercises focus on refining the body, so his physique surpasses that of other ordinary martial artists a lot, so as to ensure the exertion of the "strange power" martial spirit.
Xiao Jie didn't have much time, and if he didn't go up to catch his breath, he would suffocate underwater.
So he can only guarantee a chance to make a move, repel the enemy with one blow, and then swim up on the horse!
The process of the martial artist summoning the martial soul was extremely fast, and Xiao Jie was the same, after the light on his eyebrows lit up, the mini pattern of the fist glove flashed and disappeared, and then appeared on his right hand. A layer of blue light enveloped his arm, and soon coalesced into a fist phantom, which was placed on his right hand.
He was ready in an instant, and it was time to strike.
Xiao Jie's combat comprehension is very strong, and the first time he was hit hard in the back, he was completely unforeseen.
By the second time, he had already consciously released his soul thoughts!
Xiao Jie is a soul condensing martial artist who has awakened his martial soul, so he can naturally use soul power.
His qualifications in terms of soul are very high, and the soul thoughts he releases are much stronger than ordinary martial artists in the same realm, and the range of soul thoughts that can be extended is wider.
So he caught it!
The culprit who attacked him twice in a row, hiding in the shadows with the help of the crimson spring.
"Found you!"
As soon as Xiao Jie's soul thought touched the other party, he immediately twisted his body and jumped over, and on the way, he also grabbed the fishing rod that had been behind him in his hand.
This fishing rod is made of precious materials, and it is the only treasure left to him by Xiao Jie's grandfather.
It's also because I've been carrying a fishing rod on my back.,So in the two attacks just now.,It's also blocked a lot of power damage.。
Xiao Jie now uses a fishing rod because he has found that his "enemy" is very cunning and is trying to distance himself, and he is very fast, and the next moment he will be out of the range of his soul thoughts.
Xiao Jie can actually take this opportunity to escape upward, but he is not so easy to suffer losses, he has summoned martial spirits and plans to fight, which is so easy to leave!
The target is not in the range of attack, and other people may be helpless in this situation, but Xiao Jie is different, the fishing rod in his hand is not made for fishing, this is a combat weapon!
The special line ensures that even underwater resistance is almost ignored, and the rod can be cast accurately and quickly.
"Go ahead!"
Xiao Jie shouted in his heart, holding the fishing rod in his right hand and swinging it forward, with more than a dozen sharp barbed hooks, shooting out like darts.
Poof!
Xiao Jie's hand was slightly swaying, letting him know that the target had been hit.
The target's strength is great, and he is twisting his body frantically in an attempt to get rid of the hook that has pierced his body.
But those barbs are not for play, and the more it struggles, the more it hurts.
Xiao Jie would not miss the opportunity, and immediately exerted force in his hand, held the fishing rod and pulled it back, and began to wrestle with his prey.
And Xiao Jie, who had already displayed his martial spirit, naturally would not lose to his opponent in terms of strength, and he easily pulled the prey back.
"Is it a falcon?"
Because the distance was close enough, Xiao Jie finally saw clearly what was sneaking up on him twice in a row.
This is a special type of fish with wings, the body length of half an adult, and its wings are also very large, and when fully extended, it can be compared to the wingspan of an ordinary eagle. Unfortunately, the scales on its wings are too dense, thick, and heavy, making it difficult for it to fly into the air, and it will always have to succumb to the water. But this does not prevent it from being ferocious and aggressive, being one of the underwater hunters.
"I didn't expect this fish to be found in the red springs. ”
Xiao Jie looked at the big guy who was still writhing, trying to break away from the hook, and without hesitation, he threw a punch to kill it, and then raced upstream with the loot.
And not long after he swam down, he saw four or five figures diving down from above.
These people swam more scattered, deliberately keeping a distance from each other, and each holding swords and other weapons in their hands, which seemed menacing.
"It's someone else!"
Xiao Jie's heart tightened, knowing that the warriors on the mountain peak had jumped down one by one, and in order to catch the red-eyed carp, they all went underwater to search for it.
The size of the red-eyed carp is very large, and the number is destined not to be very large, although the red spring is bottomless, but there is no guarantee that the red-eyed carp can satisfy everyone to catch one.
"I have to do it as soon as possible. ”
Xiao Jie's eyes became solemn, and his face turned a little red, but he still insisted on holding his breath.
He deliberately shifted a little to the side, avoiding these warriors who were diving, so as not to cause unnecessary conflicts, and his current state was not conducive to fighting.
Fortunately, the few warriors who were diving didn't mean to trouble him, and kept a steady distance from him.
And Xiao Jie didn't know these people, so naturally he didn't know that among the few martial artists who were diving, a knife-wielding young man wearing dark clothes was Gu Lei from the Gu family.
Gu Lei has always kept a low profile and does not attract attention.
Although he was the first batch of warriors to jump down, he also saw the moment when he was mixed in with several warriors.
Now he is one of the fastest people to dive under the water of the red spring, and he is really afraid that the number of red-eyed carp is limited, so he has to be so conspicuous.
However, not many people paid attention to him because after he jumped, many others went into the water after he jumped. Everyone had the same idea and rushed down to catch the red-eyed carp.
Gu Lei didn't have a particularly good weapon, and the most he used was a long knife.
In view of the large size of the red-eyed carp and the fact that it was underwater with his bare hands, it was difficult to kill it, so Gu Lei brought a knife.
He was cautious, keeping an eye on the people of his colleagues who were entering the water, keeping a distance from them.
And after diving to a certain extent, he stopped caring about them and began to accelerate.
In order to facilitate his physical flexibility, he simply held the long knife in his mouth, and then used his limbs together to dive quickly.
Gu Lei's eyesight is good, but he gradually found that as he dived deeper, even the color of the water gradually increased.
He had to squint his eyes and let out his soul thoughts at the same time.
"Isn't this depth still happening?"
Gu Lei's underwater ability is actually average, and he can dive so deep because of his identity as a martial artist.
After all, as long as you have practiced martial arts, your physical fitness will always be stronger than that of ordinary people, and it is easy to reach the level of ordinary people's so-called underwater masters.
But Gu Lei has never deliberately exercised underwater kung fu after all, so he is not as good as Xiao Jie in this regard.
At this moment, he had been diving for a while, and he was gradually reaching his limit.
His chest began to feel stuffy, which was a reminder that he had to go up and breathe, otherwise his body would be overwhelmed.
"Go up and rest first, then come down and try again, if it doesn't work, you'll have to find another way. ”
Gu Lei was still very calm, and he was ready to return when he thought of this.
At this moment, he was about to twist his waist and turn around, but he inadvertently found that a shadow was rising rapidly deeper below him.
