Chapter 8: The Underwater Palace
A few miner's lamps by the pond were mixed with powerful flashlights to illuminate the water surface, and Jin Cheng could see the water surface even from seventy or eighty meters away.
After more than ten minutes, there was finally movement on the surface of the water, first small bubbles, and as the bubbles increased, the pool began to tumble.
Xiao Tian's muscles were tense all over his body, and he was on high alert, and when he gave an order, everyone took out their weapons and waited for them.
Suddenly, countless water arrows flew out of the water, overwhelmingly shooting at the Japanese people on the shore, and Xiao Tian and the others were instantly shot into a sieve, and their bodies were full of holes.
Miyamoto, who was standing forty or fifty meters away, was not spared, and saw that he dodged several deadly water arrows, but his right arm and right shoulder were still pierced.
Miyamoto crawled back to safety and got into the tent to stop the bleeding and heal.
A huge black shadow came out of the pond, Jin Cheng vaguely saw that it was a monster with a fish-headed snake body, its body was huge, its head was as big as a bucket, and its body was as thick as a water tank, with the momentum of looking at the world, it opened its mouth and shot a water arrow towards the tent where Miyamoto was, but the distance was too far, and it just smashed the tent to pieces, without causing any harm to Miyamoto.
"Boy, help me kill him, I have something good to reward you." A voice sounded in Jin Cheng's mind without warning.
"Are you ......" Jin Cheng was startled by the sudden voice, and after being stunned for a moment, he thought that this was communicating with his divine sense, and it could only be the thing in the pond talking to him.
"You call me Dragon Carp, my body is a carp, I have been cultivating for more than 1,500 years, I failed to transform more than a hundred years ago, and I only half of my transformation has become what I am now. You are the only cultivator I have seen in the last few hundred years, but unfortunately your strength is too weak, hey, you have improved compared to the last time, yes, this strength should be no problem against a middle ninja who has lost an arm, kill him, I will give you a space ring. ”
"Space Ring, do you have a Space Ring?" Jin Cheng couldn't be calm anymore, and almost screamed, the space ring was the treasure he dreamed of.
His cheap master didn't leave him any items, and the broken iron sheet that fed one still doesn't know where it went? This also led him to become the poorest cultivator in history, and the poor struggled with food and clothing. After understanding the role of the space ring, he wanted to have one day and night, which was simply a necessary artifact for home travel and killing.
"Of course, I swear, if I lie to you, my cultivation will be stagnant forever, and I will not be able to soar to the Divine Beast Realm in this life and this life." The dragon carp swore solemnly.
"Okay, you wait, I'll go and take his life." For the sake of the space ring, Jin Cheng had to take a risk, and the first shot had to deal with an opponent whose strength was stronger than his own, and the danger was self-evident.
However, Jin Cheng was not afraid, nor was he in a hurry to act, and he had to kill the two sentries before he could do it.
The two sentries more than ten meters away from the tent knew that something was wrong, they rushed to the tent, Jin Cheng ambushed them on their flanks, and when they walked to the door of the tent, Jin Cheng made a move.
Within the range of his senses, two cement nails hit the temples of the two of them, and both of them fell to the ground without snorting.
After the blow was successful, Jin Cheng rushed to the tent at full speed. The sound of the two falling to the ground alerted Miyamoto, who stood up and glanced at his right shoulder and arm, where a thick strap was wrapped and there was a large blood stain on the bandage. With his left hand, he pulled out the samurai saber at his waist, the tip of the sword pointed at the door, and his eyes were terrifyingly cold.
Jin Cheng came to the tent, picked up the micro rush on the ground, and shot at Miyamoto.
Miyamoto did not dodge, but threw the katana in his hand at Jin Cheng, he is the same way of playing, rather than the jade is broken, this is the result of the brainwashing of the bushido spirit since childhood, the more desperate the more crazy it is.
Jin Cheng was obviously not mentally prepared, and he encountered a powerful neurotic in his first actual combat against the enemy, and he complained bitterly in his heart.
The little devil of the grass and mud horse, the young man is in his prime and has a bright future, and he is still a pure and flawless little junior man, but he doesn't want to fight with you, a half-old man.
The two shot almost at the same time, the distance between them was only seven or eight meters, Jin Cheng shot and struggled to the right rear sideways, but because the distance was too close, although he dodged the vital part of his chest, his left shoulder was pierced by a katana.
The pain was so severe that he almost fell, staggered a few steps, and finally gritted his teeth and stood firm, blood staining his chest and back red for a moment.
Miyamoto was shot four times in the chest, and although it did not penetrate the flesh deeply, there was a lot of bleeding, and the entire front chest was stained red with blood. He had a cruel smile on his face and muttered to himself. Jin Cheng raised his right hand and shot all the remaining bullets into Miyamoto's face.
"Come to the waterhole, you are not lightly injured, I will treat you." The voice of the dragon carp sounded in Jin Cheng's mind again.
"Okay, I'll come over here." Jin Cheng used his right hand to hold the handle of the katana sword that pierced into his body, at this time he didn't dare to pull the knife out, so he could only stabilize the knife and prevent it from causing more trauma in his body because of the shaking.
Along the way, Jin Cheng tried his best to make his steps more stable, he knew his injury, although it was not a vital part, but this kind of bleeding through the injury was not only a very fatal problem.
If he is a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi refining, he can still seal the acupoints around the wound by himself and slow down the rate of bleeding, but unfortunately he is only in the early stage of Qi refining, and he is still one step away from the middle stage.
So in this case, he can only unconditionally believe in the dragon carp, the strength of this monster is very terrifying, the transformation period of the demon beast is equivalent to the foundation building period of the cultivator, once the transformation is successful, it can impact the Jindan period, and then it can fly, like the dragon carp after turning into a dragon shape, it must be flying to the divine beast world, which is a very strong existence.
The incarnate demon beast has opened its intelligence, although it can't be said, but its IQ is definitely not bad. These Japanese people injected Wu Heng with a deadly poison that caused the poisoned to stiffen their muscles, first on skeletal muscles, then on smooth muscles, and finally on cardiac muscles, and eventually to death from respiratory failure or cardiac arrest. This process takes about twelve hours, and once poisoned, there is no cure.
If the dragon carp eats Wu Heng, the dragon carp will also be poisoned, this is how the Japanese people imagined, but after they felt that the other end of the rope lost weight, they thought that the dragon carp had eaten Wu Heng, so they dared to send someone into the water.
The biggest mistake made by the Wa people was that they acted rashly without knowing their opponents, and the dragon carp used a slight trick to break the rope under the water, and they were fooled, and as a result, the four diving Wa people became food for the dragon carp.
After that, the people on the shore were killed and injured by an attack by the dragon carp, and the dragon carp could not leave the pond, so they turned to Jin Cheng to help it kill the last three widows.
After paying a painful price, Jin Cheng fortunately did not disgrace his life and completed the entrustment of the dragon carp, and he believed that the dragon carp would not harm him.
"Jump off."
Jin Cheng jumped into the water without hesitation. The dragon carp looked at Jin Cheng's figure, revealing an approving look, its mouth opened, and it spit out a large bubble, wrapping Jin Cheng in it.
Jin Cheng was surprised to find that there was half water and half air in the bubble, and the water just flooded his chin and did not affect his breathing. The wound was soaked in water, but there was no blood flowing out, which made Jin Cheng ecstatic, the bleeding stopped, and his life was saved, this dragon carp was really amazing.
"Pull out the knife! This water has a good effect of stopping bleeding and repairing wounds, you can rest for a while, and call me when the wound is healed. ”
"Senior dragon carp, do me a favor and pull out the knife, this knife is too long, I can't pull it out myself." Jin Cheng said with a wry smile.
The "whoosh" katana disappeared without warning, and some blood was leaking from the wound, but it quickly stopped. After more than ten minutes, Jin Cheng felt that the inside of the wound was itching, as if there were caterpillars crawling inside.
Could it be that the wound is healing? That's amazing, isn't it? No wonder the roe deer was injured and desperately rushed to this pond, it turned out that this was the reason.
The itch is more unbearable than the pain, and it is itching in the wound, and it can't be scratched if you want to, but this can't be difficult for Jin Cheng, he began to think crankily and divert his attention. Although the Japanese men are ugly, the Japanese women are very eye-catching, especially the ** female stars, when they were in college, the dormitory boss's laptop collected dozens of Japanese love action movies, those classic pictures, I still remember them vividly.
Jin Cheng, who was immersed in YY, couldn't feel the pain caused by the healing of the wound at all, but had a relaxed and enjoyable expression, and his demeanor fell into the eyes of the dragon carp, making the dragon carp shake its head, and said in his heart: The human world is too complicated, and the human mind is even more complicated, so I better leave the earth as soon as possible.
An hour later, Jin Cheng touched the smooth skin of his left shoulder, and couldn't help laughing, if it weren't for the shallow white line at the wound, he would have wondered if he had really been injured, whether he had a dream before.
"Po"
The bubble wrapped around Jin Cheng suddenly exploded, and he found himself in the hall of a palace, the hall was very empty, and there were many stone pillars standing, and the stone pillars were carved with lifelike flying dragons, as if they were about to take off at any time.
"How's the king's palace?" A fish-headed monster appeared out of thin air on the main seat above the hall.
"Not very good, except that the place is bigger." Jin Cheng replied casually.
"Ahem, you kid doesn't know how to pat the king's ass, this king has a lot of treasures."
"If you pat yourself on the back, you're going to give me all the treasures?" Jin Cheng asked.
"Go, I can't communicate with you kid. Take it, it's the space ring you deserve. As soon as the dragon carp raised his hand, a ring flew towards Jin Cheng like a meteor.
"Thanks, dragon carp, handsome, so handsome!" Jin Cheng stretched out his hand to take it, and after putting the ring on, he couldn't put it down and admired.
"Boy, how about we make a deal?" Long Carp glanced at Jin Cheng with disdain, it's just a space ring, can you use it so happily?
"Okay, tell me about it." Jin Cheng said without raising his head.
"You are a single-attribute wood spirit root, your cultivation qualifications are very good, I want you to become an alchemist, and after you build the foundation, help me refine the Transformation Pill, this is not my selfish idea, if you want to build the foundation, you must also have the assistance of the foundation building pill, otherwise no matter how good your talent is, no matter how against the sky, it is impossible to rise to the foundation building period." Therefore, it is necessary to become an alchemist, I just asked you to prepare early, so that it will not be too late to learn alchemy. ”
"What you said makes sense, it's just that where can I find the materials for refining Tsukidan?" Jin Cheng asked.
"This jade slip is for you, this is the alchemy formula and experience left by an alchemist in the knot pill period, you can use it for reference, as for the materials needed to build the foundation pill, I can't help you, you can only rely on yourself to find it." The materials of the Transformation Pill are still missing a hundred fruits, help me pay attention to them when you look for materials, of course I won't take your benefits in vain, and when you reach the late stage of Qi refining, I will give you a space artifact. ”
"Space God...... device, can you be more against the sky, okay, deal, for the space artifact, I spelled, NND, since it can be called a space artifact, at least it is a true spirit world! Jin Cheng stammered, and was thundered by the dragon carp.
"Keep it secret for now, and you'll know when the time comes."
The dragon carp had a dead fish face, and he couldn't see a trace of expression, Jin Cheng couldn't get any information from his face, and he couldn't guess what kind of space artifact it was, so he could only hide his curiosity in his heart.
