Chapter 61: Yuxi
Just when the Soul Devourer was about to catch up with everyone, the sky was endless, and Aoki and his party finally came to a big river after running for a few miles, and this river was the source of water that Xuanyi had just said.
The river is very wide, hundreds of meters long, the water flow is very fast, the sound of "bang la la" flowing water comes from the river channel, and the muddy yellow river water rushes and rolls in the river channel, flowing into the distance.
These scenes are undoubtedly the most beautiful scenery in the eyes of everyone, but the top priority at the moment is how to cross the river, the water is too fast, with the current state of everyone, there is no certainty that they can cross the river safely, it is very likely to be swallowed by the turbulent water, if there are any monsters in the river to attack, it will be even more dangerous.
Time was running out, the trees dozens of meters away were collapsing, the screams were getting louder and louder, and the Soul Devourer was rushing towards everyone at a breakneck speed.
"Fight!" the white fly gritted his teeth and was about to jump into the river.
"Slow!" Xuanyi immediately stepped forward and grabbed the white fly, he came to the bank of the river, and quickly took off the Xuanwu shield behind him, at this time he mobilized the little spiritual power stored in his body, and poured it all into the shield, with the injection of spiritual power, the surface of the Xuanwu shield once again flowed out of a circle of turquoise halo, Xuanyi then shouted "Xuanwu Yushui, the shield is infinite!"
As soon as the words fell, the Xuanwu shield suddenly shone brightly, and its volume instantly became larger, and it soon became the size of a house. Xuanyi casually threw the Xuanwu shield into the river, and the enlarged Xuanwu shield was not swept away by the turbulent current, but fell steadily on the surface of the river, just sinking and floating with the current.
"Quick, jump up!" Xuan Yi anxiously urged everyone, judging from the location of the fallen tree, the Soul Devourer was already less than twenty meters away from everyone!
"Okay!" Aoki felt strange when he saw that the Xuanwu shield could still be used as a small boat, and he jumped on the Xuanwu shield first, thinking that Xuanyi was really a strange person, and he always gave people unexpected performances at critical moments.
Not daring to hesitate any longer, Bai Yu and the others jumped towards the Xuanwu shield almost at the same time.
After landing steadily on the house-sized Xuanwu shield, everyone finally let out a long breath and finally escaped death.
Almost at the same time that everyone stood on the Xuanwu Shield, the Soul Devourer rushed to the front of them, and the high-speed movement brought up a piece of flying sand and rocks, all of which rushed towards everyone.
At this time, the Xuanwu shield floated down the river along the water, and the speed was very fast, and the large area of forest sand and gravel all fell behind the Xuanwu shield, splashing a large cloud of water.
"Brother Xuan, quick, go to the other side of the river!" Finch vaguely saw the soul eater who had rushed to the bank of the river, and the terrifying appearance frightened her into discoloration.
Xuanyi was in a very bad state at this time, but at the moment of life and death, he had to fight hard, barely controlled the Xuanwu shield, and slowly leaned towards the middle of the river.
Taking advantage of this gap, Aoki and the others looked towards the shore together, and the fierce beast that had chased them all the way was finally completely presented in front of everyone.
I saw a giant black spider seven or eight meters tall lying on the bank of the river, waving its teeth and claws at them. At this height, this soul devourer is twenty meters wide, who has ever seen such a large spider?
The bristles were densely covered on the eight legs of the Soul Devourer, and the mouthparts of several meters long erupted with-yellow slime, and they kept squeaking and roaring at Aoki, and a total of six giant eyes in the left and right rows were actually white, and at this time, the six big eyes glared at the people on the Xuanwu shield, making Aoki feel disgusting and terrifying.
The Soul Eater seemed to be afraid of water, and instead of jumping into the river, it could only wave its giant turtle frantically on the shore, and the rocks did not fall into the river, splashing one after another.
"Mom, it's so big!" the donkey exclaimed.
Seeing that Aoki and the others were drifting farther and farther away, they had already come to the middle of the river, and the soul devourers on the shore became more and more irritable, but there was nothing they could do, and finally let out a shocking roar unwillingly, turned around and walked towards the mountains and forests, and the figure gradually disappeared.
"Hum~" The last roar of the soul devourer was its final blow, but the power was amazing, Aoki felt like his head had been hit hard by a giant hammer at this time, buzzing, blank, and then he felt as if there were countless evil ghosts around his body screaming and wailing, trying to break through his spiritual platform and occupy it.
"Not good!" This sense of crisis made Aoki shocked, and hurriedly mobilized the spiritual energy in his body to protect his spiritual platform, and at the same time, the spiritual platform Bible that had been cultivated for many days was also running, jointly resisting this strong spiritual impact.
The faces of Bai Yu and Xuanyi on the side also turned pale in an instant, this divine sense attack made them very uncomfortable, and the two of them hurriedly sat on the Xuanwu shield, which was quite stable, and used the internal strength method to resist.
The finch spurted out a mouthful of blood directly, her face was instantly pale as paper, and the donkey was even more unbearable, so she simply fainted.
Bai Ling was not affected, it saw that the two of them were seriously injured, and instantly turned back into its main body, helped the two people who fell to the ground up, slapped their palms on their backs, and purified the spiritual power in their bodies, and then transferred it into the two of them to help them resist this divine sense attack.
The Soul Devourer was really fierce, and a divine sense attack from a hundred meters away hit everyone hard, at this time, the Xuanwu Shield was quiet, everyone was working hard to run their minds, and they tried their best to defuse this attack, and the Xuanwu Shield moved forward with the water, gradually moving away.
I don't know how long the Xuanwu shield has been drifting on the big river, at this time the sky has completely darkened, countless stars hang in the night sky, the original rushing river surface calmed down at this time, the river water has also become clear, from time to time there are one or two swimming fish jumping out of the water, splashing a splash, hundreds of meters wide river surface reflects the starlight in the sky, like a jade belt, inlaid in this land.
"It's so beautiful!" Finch, looking at the scenery in front of her, whispered a little obsessively, she had survived, and was now resting on the Xuanwu shield, but her face was still lacking in blood.
"Brother Yu, look where we are now. Aoki came to his senses earlier than the finch, and at this point his face returned to normal, and he turned to the white fly and asked.
"This river is still marked on the map, it is called Yuxi, and its source comes from the snow-capped mountains deep in the dark forest, running through the whole large forest, and flowing all the way to Daze in the east, I think we should go ashore, because the river is about to deviate from our direction. Bai Fly said.
"Understood!" Xuanyi's spiritual power consumption was relatively large, but after a period of cultivation and pranayama just now, his state was a little better at this time, and he controlled the Xuanwu shield and leaned towards the bank of Yuxi.
Except for Donkey Deshui, all of the people in the group woke up, there was no way, Donkey Deshui, who was still in a coma, could only be supported by Bai Yu and Aoki, and everyone walked towards the forest together.
Finally, on a hill not far from the shore, everyone found a cave, the cave was a little damp, but compared to the open air, this place was already good, and after a simple tidying up, everyone was going to spend the night here.
"You're not in a good state, rest here first, I'll go to the river and catch a few fish to eat. Aoki walked out of the cave and prepared to go to the jade stream to catch fish for dinner.
Bai Yu originally wanted to go with him, but after thinking about his fishing skills, he sat down again, forget it, or not to sacrifice ugly......
Not long after, Aoki carried two large fish into the cave, and by this time the fire had risen in the cave, and everyone sat in a circle, and the donkey was placed on a dry stone, still sleeping.
"Come on, although there are only these two fish tonight, but fortunately they are big enough, let's barbecue one and make soup. "Aoki has already packed up the two fish by the Yuxi, and now all he needs to do is take out the pot and grill, and the fire is divided into two places, one for cooking fish soup and one for grilling fish.
Soon, the two fish were ready, Aoki took out the plates, bowls and chopsticks, and distributed the fish soup and grilled fish to everyone, and he himself went straight to the donkey Tokusui.
"Old donkey, old donkey, wake up. Aoki shook the unconscious donkey in front of him, and the scene felt so familiar.
"Son...... Ah, a headache~" Donkey Deshui was finally woken up, patted his head with his hooves, and shouted in a low voice.
Aoki is called a diaphragm, and this donkey has a problem with his speech! But looking at its declining face, Aoki can't bother with it, so he tells him to come over and eat quickly.
After dinner, everyone finally had some spirits, and their faces gradually returned to normal. Except for Bai Ling, everyone was severely consumed today and injured to varying degrees, especially the final blow of the soul devourer, which was simply fatal. So in the end, it was Bai Ling who kept vigil and gave everyone the Dharma protection, while the others sat cross-legged and entered the state of cultivation.
Early the next morning, everyone woke up in turn, and after a night of cultivation and pranayama, everyone's faces were much better, and yesterday's consumption was also replenished. There was a pile of fruits in front of everyone, and there were one or two spirit fruits mixed with them, and everyone looked at Bai Ling, showing gratitude to it, no need to think about it, these fruits must have been picked by Bai Ling for everyone last night.
"Eat quickly, I'll go out and breathe. Bai Ling, who has always been cold, was a little embarrassed by everyone at this time, and hurriedly walked out of the cave, looking a little like he was running away.
"Wood, Bai Ling is so cute, can you give it to me?"
"Second sister, Bai Ling has always been my friend, it doesn't matter if I send it or not, as long as it likes it, I won't object to following you. Aoki said with a smile.
After eating the fruits picked by Bai Ling, everyone walked out of the cave and came outside to breathe.
"Whew~ The air in the forest is so nice in the morning. Xuan Yi moved his somewhat stiff limbs and said with a deep breath.
In fact, everyone is doing the same movements as Xuanyi, and sitting cross-legged all night makes their bodies a little stiff, and now stretching their limbs makes their bodies that have been tense finally relax, which is a great feeling.
"Everybody come and see. Aoki walked to a clearing in front of the entrance of the cave and beckoned everyone to come over, and suddenly a bright red fruit appeared in his right hand, and as soon as he took it out, this fruit exuded an attractive fragrant fruity fragrance, which was the fruit of enlightenment that everyone had worked so hard to get!
