Chapter 25: Victory and Defeat
(Chinese New Year's Eve, best wishes everyone)
From a distance, the Baishu River looks like a white python winding, and the sound of continuous and tight sounds is constantly coming.
After Chen Zong rested, he got up and headed in the direction of the Baisu River.
"Crossing the Baisu River, it is the Galloping Horse Plain, and then crossing the Galloping Horse Plain, you can reach the boundary of the Qiyao Martial Academy. Talking to himself, Chen Zong quickened his pace slightly.
The internal injuries were not healed and aggravated by the life-and-death battle, so the speed had to be reserved.
On the edge of the Baisu River, there are many people standing, in groups of three or five, who are the children of various families.
"What about Chen Zong?" Wang Shenglei asked with his gaze sweeping over the faces of Chen Chong and the others.
Chen Zhong and the others did not answer, because they did not know how Chen Zong was doing.
"It's not going to be dying in Black Bee Mountain. The children of the Wang family laughed and said casually, which made the faces of the four Chen Chong change greatly.
"Did Chen Zong really die in the Black Bee Mountain?" asked Wang Shenglei.
"I don't know. Chen Zhi opened his mouth angrily.
Everyone in the Wang family couldn't help but be stunned.
"Could it be that Chen Zong was worried that he would lose the gambling contract, so he was reluctant to give up 50,000 white jade money, so he didn't dare to show up. A child of the Wang family said in a strange way.
"You're looking for death. Chen Chong was furious and was about to rush over, but was stopped by Chen Wenxue.
"If I lose, I should give 50,000 white jade dollars. A light voice came into everyone's ears, and Chen Chong and the four of them turned their heads to look at each other in a daze, their faces full of excitement.
"Chen Zong. ”
"You're alive. ”
"I knew you were still alive. ”
"My life is great. Chen Zong said with a smile.
"You don't look very good. After the excitement subsided, Chen Zhong looked at Chen Zong's face and said.
"Got a little hurt. Chen Zong said.
"What about the two men in black?" asked Chen Kaiyue.
"I don't know. Chen Zong did not say that the two of them had died under his own sword.
"Hmph, Chen Zong, it's good to be alive, this bet, my Wang family has won. Wang Shenglei said, Chen Zong looked and found that there were originally six people on Wang Shenglei's side, but now there are only five people left, two of whom are still injured.
It can be seen that the consequences of breaking into Black Bee Mountain at night are quite bad.
The water of the Baisu River is very fast, the waves are rolling, if you want to swim over, you are afraid of encountering demon beasts, and encountering demon beasts in the water is more dangerous than encountering demon beasts on the ground.
A first-grade low-grade water demon beast was enough to kill a fifth-layer martial artist of the Qi and Blood Realm.
Waiting, waiting for the time when the Baisu River was calm to return to the river, everyone was ready to make a simple raft out of wood cut from a grove not far away.
"Chen Zong, do you know the identities of those two?" Tang Junluo and Li Zhenshi walked over and asked, their tones faintly angry.
Chen Zong shook his head, although there was speculation in his heart, the two were obviously aimed at himself, and he should deal with it himself.
Staring at the Baisu River, the river was rapid, as if thousands of troops and horses were galloping to kill.
"Be prepared. Chen Zong suddenly spoke.
"What?" Chen Chong and the four of them didn't know why.
"Lift the raft and prepare to cross the river. Chen Zong emphasized again.
"Let's go. Chen Chong obviously trusted Chen Zong very much, and immediately grabbed the raft and walked towards the Baisu River, and Chen Kaiyue and the three had to follow.
"What are they doing?"
"It's not like I want to cross the river. ”
"Look for death. ”
"It looks like I'm going to die in order to win the bet. ”
Wang Shenglei smiled coldly, in order to win the gambling contract last night, he broke into the Black Bee Mountain at night, but one person died, two people were injured, and he was not able to take the lead in crossing the river.
Tang Junluo and Li Zhenshi don't know why.
"Wait. Walking to the river, Chen Zong said to Chen Chong, his eyes staring at the rushing river.
"Put. After more than a dozen breaths, Chen Zong suddenly said, Chen Chong put the raft into the river, Chen Zong's body jumped, and he landed on the raft first, Chen Chong also jumped, and Chen Kaiyue and the three jumped on the raft.
The rapid impact of the river caused the raft to flow downstream.
"Chen Zhong and Chen Wenxue are in charge of the left, and Chen Kaiyue and Chen Zhi are in charge of the right. Chen Zong immediately said, and one person picked up a piece of wood pulp made from a tree trunk.
Chen Chong's four people were very nervous and nervous, but Chen Zong was more relaxed, under the rapid river, the raft kept drifting downward, and under the efforts of everyone, it moved forward little by little.
Chen Zong stared at each river, analyzed the laws in it, and commanded every move of Chen Chong's four people.
"Is that okay?" the crowd on the riverbank was stunned.
Chen Chong's four people cooperated more and more tacitly, and the speed of the raft increased slightly, but the Baisu River was hundreds of meters wide, and they only crossed a few tens of meters.
The impact of the river slowly weakened, little by little.
"Accelerate. Chen Chong and the four of them were immediately overjoyed, and immediately waved the wood pulp to speed up the rowing.
"Cross the river!"
"Let's go. ”
"Let's go. ”
The children of the families on the riverbank saw that the river was slowing down, and hurriedly lifted the raft and lowered it into the water.
The river was slow, and with the cooperation of several people, the raft moved forward quickly, like riding the wind and waves, and in a short time it rushed to the middle of the river, far ahead of others.
"Chen Zong, did you already know that the river was going to slow down?" asked Chen Wenxue as he shook his head vigorously.
"Feeling. Chen Zong replied casually.
"We're ahead now, so let's work hard, keep the advantage going, and the bet will be won. Chen Zhong said with a smile.
At the thought of winning the bet, everyone could get a share of 10,000 white jade coins, and they couldn't help but get excited, and their bodies were full of strength, and the raft moved a little faster.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Wang Shenglei was very anxious, he originally arrived at the Baiyu River earlier than the Chen family, but he had to stop and wait because of the rapid river, but he was caught up, and now he was overtaken, urging again and again.
It's just that the two were not lightly injured, and it was even more difficult to cooperate, and Wang Shenglei kept urging, which made the cooperation even worse.
"Don't mess around, cooperate well, it's almost there. Chen Zong's tone was not slow, and he was about 100 meters away from the other side.
Suddenly, the water splashed, and a big fish broke out of the water, opened its fangs, and bit at Chen Zong fiercely, it was a fish demon beast in the water.
"Die!" Chen Zong reacted quickly, the sword was unsheathed, a sword pierced through the air, shattered the water splashes, and slashed at the demon beast, the sharp blade broke through the tough fish scales and slashed into the body, and the powerful force exploded, knocking the demon beast into the water, and the blood was filled.
The internal injuries were involved, the pain was endless, and Chen Zong's face turned pale.
Other teams have also been attacked by demon beasts one after another, but the demon beasts in Baisuhe are only first-level demon beasts, and most of them are still first-class and middle-grade, as long as you are careful, there is no need to worry.
Landing on the shore, Chen Zong and the five people jumped onto the shore one after another, without stopping at all, and immediately ran forward.
"You four run first, and I'll follow. Chen Zong said, the internal injury has not healed, and he has just taken out his sword to slash and kill the demon beast, and now it is very uncomfortable, and the speed is limited.
"Are you alright? Chen was concerned.
"It's okay, just take a rest, you guys go first. Chen Zong said.
"Well, you'll have to keep up as soon as possible. Chen Chongdao, and the other three burst out at full speed, running forward quickly.
The galloping horse plain is flat, as if as far as the eye can see, the wind blows, the grass waves rise and fall, very magnificent.
Chen Zong kept moving forward at an even speed, and it didn't take long for the children of other families to catch up and overtake.
"Chen Zong, what's wrong with you?" Li Zhenshi ran to the side and asked.
"I suffered some internal injuries last night that have not healed, so it should not be too fast. Chen Zong replied simply.
"Internal injuries ......" Li Zhenshi frowned slightly, external injuries can also be sprinkled with medicinal powder, internal injuries can only be boiled into medicinal decoction, as for the treatment of internal injuries pills are rare, because the price is very high.
"I have a healing pill here, you try. Li Zhenshi took out a gray pill and handed it to Chen Zong, Chen Zong was not polite, swallowed it after taking it, and turned into a cool breath that permeated the whole body, under that cool breath, the internal injuries seemed to be healing little by little.
"Thank you, Brother Li. Chen Zongzhengse said.
"I'll go first, you have to follow. Li Zhenshi shook his hand and smiled, and sped up to leave.
"The Healing Pill can treat internal injuries, but my injuries are not light, and I'm afraid one pill is not enough. Chen Zong said secretly: "But it can also alleviate one or two to some extent." ”
"Chen Zong, it looks like you're not going to be able to do it. The five members of the Wang family caught up and swept past Chen Zong, and Wang Shenglei smiled coldly.
"Until the end, how can you know whether you succeed or fail. Chen Zong replied slowly.
"Dead ducks have hard beaks. A child of the Wang family sneered.
"The outcome is a foregone conclusion. Wang Shenglei fell, crossed Chen Zong, and gradually moved away, the injured two were skin injuries, not as much as the burden of internal injuries.
In the end, everyone turned into small black dots in front of their eyes, and then disappeared, and Chen Zong couldn't help but shake his head.
"It looks like you're going to lose 50,000 white jade dollars. Secretly, I couldn't help but feel a little bitter in my heart, the 50,000 white jade money had not been used, and now, it was about to become someone else's.
......
From a distance, the mountain looks like a single horn, jutting out of the earth and from the edge of the mountain.
Longjiao Peak, a peak belonging to Fulong Mountain, is as high as 1,888 meters, covers an area of more than 1,000 square miles, the mountain is steep, and the strange peaks are stacked.
Seeing Longjiao Peak means that the Qiyao Martial Academy is not far away.
The children of each family raced and ran, and everyone wanted to be the first to reach the Qiyao Martial Academy before the others.
"Speed up and win the bet, and I'll divide each of you with three thousand white jade dollars. Wang Shenglei said, when several children of the Wang family heard this, they were more motivated, and gradually approached the four members of the Chen family.
"Work hard, don't let them overtake. Chen Zhong said.
"What's the use, Chen Zong didn't catch up. Chen Zhi's tone was negative, Chen Zong didn't catch up, even if they arrived first, they would lose, and if they couldn't get 10,000 white jade money, the whole person would have no motivation.
"Driving ......"
The grass was flying, the sound of horses' hooves was sharp, the sound of tapping and tapping was clear in the ears, and a brown wild horse instantly passed Wang Shenglei and the others, and then crossed Chen Zhong and the others, and ran away quickly in the direction of the Qiyao Martial Academy.
"Chen Zong......"
"It's Chen Zong. ”
"Haha, we're going to win. ”
Chen Chong's four people seemed to be infused with vitality, and their speed accelerated a few points, on the other hand, on Wang Shenglei's side, one by one, as if their strength had been drained, and their speed also decreased.
"No, I haven't lost yet. Wang Shenglei roared, the power of qi and blood exploded, the speed accelerated, and soon caught up with Chen Zhong and others, and then overtook them, but the other four Wang family disciples were still lagging behind.
