Chapter 7: Floating Corpses (Ask for Recommended Collection)
After dinner, Gu Han entered the game, and the result was really as he expected, the raft was gone, and he floated directly on the river, if he hadn't reacted fast enough and fluttered a few times in time, he was afraid that he would have to drink a few mouthfuls of river water.
Thinking that it was still early and he couldn't sleep, he simply continued to swim forward to see if he could meet another island as a place to stay. Now that he has stepped into the Casting Realm, he only needs to use his mana to reach his eyes, and he can see far distances even at night.
More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and finally the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, Gu Han saw a little fire not far away, and when he got closer, he found that it was a huge island in the river, standing in the middle of the river like a hill, and that little bit of fire, it was obvious that someone had raised a bonfire on the island.
Landing on the shore, Gu Han first secretly returned to Yuan Gong to dry his wet clothes, and then carefully touched the vicinity of the bonfire, and when he looked at it, his heart couldn't help but tighten.
More than a dozen shirtless and sturdy men gathered around the campfire, all wearing white turbans, carrying a nine-ring knife at their waists, and their bare shoulders were densely tattooed, muscular, and extremely explosive. Not far from them, there were five young girls dressed as village girls, with gloomy expressions, blank eyes, and a look of despair.
"Could this be the legendary water thief?"
Gu Han pressed the doubts in his heart, listened attentively, more than a dozen big men were laughing and talking about intercepting fishing boats during the day, killing people and plundering, it should be water thieves who haunted the Hengjiang River, there is no doubt that his heart couldn't help but feel a little hot, horse bandits, water thieves, mountain thieves, these three NPCs, are often people with a lot of money, and they will definitely not gain less from "robbing", and among these dozen water thieves, the highest cultivation is only the late stage of the Casting Body Realm, and the rest are all at the early and middle stage of the Casting Body Realm, and it is not a big problem to clean them up.
After making up his mind, Gu Han didn't rush to make a move, first quietly groped around the bonfire, and made sure that there were no other water thieves around, so he quietly took out the Qingxiao Sword and approached a suitable sneak attack location.
"One, two, three...... Thirteen people, if you want to leave them all, you can't kill the strongest first, lest they be frightened and flee in all directions. ”
Secretly planning in his heart, Gu Han looked at a water thief in the middle of the Casting Body Realm, his body unfolded, and swept out silently, he couldn't take more than a blink of an eye from the beginning, and by the time the water thieves found him, it was already too late.
The sword roared softly, and the Qingxiao Sword quickly pierced into the back of the heart of the mid-stage water thief in the Casting Body Realm, and at the same time, his left hand was a little in the air, and a substantial qi flew out, piercing through the head of a water thief next to him.
In the face of such a sudden attack, the water thieves were a little unable to react, and it was not until the two companions were already dead that the small leader in the late stage of the Casting Body Realm suddenly came back to his senses, shook his left hand, and shot out a cold light.
At the same time, the rest of the water thieves drew their knives one after another, some rushed over directly and wanted to fight Gu Han desperately, and some twisted their backs to retreat so as not to be at a loss.
Seeing this scene, Gu Han's eyes lit up, and he struck the cold mang with a finger that broke through the air, and his body took advantage of the momentum to meet the two water thieves, and the Qingxiao Sword stabbed left and right, and after two screams, two corpses with holes in their eyebrows were left in place.
At this moment, he sensed the strong wind howling on his side, and took a small step back, narrowly avoiding the long knife that slashed at him, and the sky slashed, a head flew up, and a spring of blood gushed out.
Killing five people in an instant, he felt that his mana was slightly lacking, and he retreated decisively, and on the way, he saw a cold lightning attack, Qingxiao collected one in front of him, and crashed into this extremely fast flying knife.
After landing, he was already relieved, and rushed forward again without stopping, but coincidentally, Gu Han found that among the eight people who came up from the other party, five of them were almost strung in a straight line.
"Good chance!" Gu Han was overjoyed, silently decided, the whole person suddenly jumped into the air, drawing a beautiful and incomparably fast arc in the air, and the afterimage he stayed in place was still maintaining a straight stabbing posture, and it was bound to become a sword, and the tip of the sword in the afterimage's hand suddenly burst out of an extremely brilliant huge sword light, as if following the trajectory of the real body, and suddenly pierced through all the objects in a straight line.
The first of the three styles - the white rainbow runs through the sun.
The five water thieves, including the small leader in the late stage of the Casting Body Realm, all fell to the ground and died before they had time to scream, and they died in various forms, including those with separated bodies, those with broken abdomen, those with blood spilling from the seven orifices, and even those with half of their bodies completely dissipated under the sword light.
"Law Phase Period Sword Move!"
"This is a sword move in the Law Phase Period!"
"Quick, run for your life!!"
As soon as Gu Han landed, the remaining three water thieves were already frightened, and they ran away from three directions, he naturally would not let them leave, his body flashed, and he came to the nearest person, Qingxiao Sword slashed towards his throat, and immediately did not look at it, he suddenly jumped forward, and the person clicked twice with his left hand in the air, and the two qi bursts away one after another, killing another water thief who was about to plunge into the Hengjiang River in mid-air.
And the last person, because he was too far away, jumped into the water and was nowhere to be seen.
"Mother's, it's still a little late." Gu Han scolded in annoyance, the desire for high-level light skills in his heart became more and more urgent, his current body attribute was too low, only more than one hundred and forty points, and the inner yuan and root bones were already close to five hundred points, and with the continuous improvement of the level of the "Hidden Dragon Heart Sutra", this polarization situation would become more and more serious, if he didn't find a way to solve this problem earlier, the speed alone would sooner or later be thrown out dozens of streets by those masters who majored in Xuanzi and Huangzi exercises.
"Let's get the secret technique of the body method and the high-level light skill first, and then think about the matter of spiritual defense, after all, the first two are relatively easy to get, and the latter, it seems that my level is temporarily untouchable." Gu Han was thinking while packing up the spoils, after the incident, he did not count the harvest directly, but first loosened the five girls, this loosening was terrible, the girls knelt on the ground together, and thanked them with tears in their eyes.
As a modern person, Gu Han has experienced many times, but he still can't stand this way of thanking, but he didn't personally step forward to help the five girls, since he saw the assassination on the passenger ship, he was a little more vigilant about the ordinary people who seemed harmless to humans and animals on the surface, and after signaling a few girls to get up, he slowly asked, "Do any of you remember the route here?" Where are the boats of these pirates? ”
There was a water thief who had run away, and it was really not suitable to stay here for a long time, so if it was feasible, he planned to leave with these girls overnight, not because of his overflowing sympathy, but because many small plots in the rivers and lakes could lead to a follow-up mission with great rewards, although this possibility was very small, but in the case of no risk, he was happy to give it a try.
"Childe, I have a memory." A dark-skinned girl replied timidly, she saw that Gu Han did not express an opinion, she seemed to signal herself to continue, she calmed down, and plucked up the courage to say: "We are all fishermen from Qingzhu Village, the village is on the north bank of the Hengjiang River, and there are about three hundred miles of waterway from here, and the boats of these thieves are parked over there, they are all small boats, and the speed is very fast. ”
She pointed to the river bank to the west.
No matter how fast the boat is, how fast can it go, and it is good to have ten kilometers per hour...... Gu Han felt a little bitter in his heart, three hundred miles of waterway, it would take at least half a day, and he obviously didn't have so much time to spend with them.
"Get out of here by boat and go back to the village by the way you came." Gu Han explained, gave them some dry food and water, and watched the boat slowly sail into the darkness under the grateful thanks of the girls.
He was about to turn around to check the loot, when suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a white object floating downstream, and his eyes looked over, it seemed to be a corpse, and he looked dressed up, like Guan Fei's guy who jumped ship to escape.
"Although Guan Fei jumped into the water at the last moment, he may not have escaped with his life, I remember that even in the water, he let out a scream!"
Thinking of this, where would Gu Han hesitate, jumped into the water, and quickly swam towards the floating corpse, he knew that Guan Fei had a spirit-level sword on his body.
The distance was getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, seeing that it was less than twenty meters, Gu Han was feeling excited in his heart, and the floating corpse lying flat on the river suddenly turned his head and showed him a grim smile.
