The old man shuddered, his limbs began to twitch, and his body stopped sinking, but slowly floated upward.

When he floated high, he bent his wrist as best he could, and pressed his palm against the blade of the small cyan sword in his sleeve.

The blade of the sword pierced into the flesh, and the pain made the old man feel excited, like a drunken man being awakened by cold water, and his whole body was freed from the paralyzing stupor.

Blood, spilling from his palm, mixed with the blue liquid, turned a dim black color.

He dived again, his rickety body shrinking, but fast, approaching the bottom of the funnel in an instant.

"Boom!"

Four golden chains appeared out of thin air, covered in patterns, locking the old man's limbs and dragging him upwards.

"It's the second time!"

On the shore, there are old people who say in a deep voice.

This was the second time the old man had dived, and he had failed again, and if he failed again, the blue liquid would have obliterated him.

"It can't be successful," some of the older figures said sadly, "The strength of the peak of the water control realm will break the balance of power in the secret realm, and the funnel will not let him pass." ”

"Boom!"

The old man struggled in the water, and he turned his whole body to the left, and with a flick of his arm, he tore off a chain, and the golden light shattered like a bubble.

With his free hand, he grabbed the chain on his other arm, and with all his might, the chain shattered.

He flashed his small cyan sword, shook it like an arm, leaned down and slashed it with all his might, the two chains broke together, and the fracture was unusually smooth.

He put away his sword and dived again, knowing that he was now facing all the might of this funnel.

"No one has ever seen it," one of the older figures whispered, "the way this funnel is doing its best." ”

Soon he saw that it was a huge palm falling from the sky, the lines in the palm were clearly visible, and the Tao was complicated, it seemed to have the power to divide the sea, and the blue liquid retreated everywhere it passed.

The old man had already dived for the third time, and was already low in the water, but the palm of his hand was faster than his.

At this moment, the old man's body erupted with immeasurable divine light.

The divine light shone through the entire funnel, and in an instant it condensed into a human form, and broke free from the old man's back, and crashed into the great hand that fell from the sky.

"Bang!"

When the palm collided with the Divine Light Humanoid, the entire space trembled, the funnel seemed to be about to break, and the blue liquid rattled, forming a tornado.

At the eye of the tornado, the old man slammed his legs and disappeared into the neck of the funnel.

"Good guys!" The old man on the shore was stunned, "Use your own fruit!" ”

"It's a fight for your life!" Some older characters commented, "If he can't get a chance in the secret realm, I'm afraid he won't be able to live in a few days." ”

"Courage," said an older figure with burning eyes, "either die in the secret realm, or get a great opportunity and soar into the sky after coming out!" ”

Fruit is a means of immortality used by monks.

Mortals die because they have exhausted their life-sustaining energy, and the organs in their bodies have aged, and then they have returned to dust and dust.

This is not the case with monks, who condense the energy of life firmly and indestructibly, so that it can withstand the polishing of time, and this condensed thing is the "fruit" of cultivation.

This kind of "fruit", according to the specific classification, has the fruit of the military and the fruit of the corpse, in short, the energy of life is condensed into a certain situation, so that one's life can be extended.

The fruit of Sikong Xing's cultivation is the autopsy fruit, that is, the condensation of one's own life energy into a humanoid energy body.

He lived for more than two hundred years, three times the life span of many mortals, the ancestor of all mortal ancestors in this world, and he can still survive to this day, all because of the help of this autopsy.

Just now, the powerful energy in the autopsy fruit helped him escape, and he was about to face death soon.

"Though life is still death," said the old lion, as he closed the funnel, sighing, "though he is alive!" ”

Jiang Yan heard a rumbling sound, and behind him, something huge was rushing towards him, like thousands of horses.

He was running wildly, carrying Lin Mengdie on his back, trying his best to widen the distance between himself and the loud noise behind him.

He saw a great river in front of him, and the moonlight was like water, and the surface of the river shone brightly.

That's where he goes, jump into the river, hide, and there's nothing behind him that won't find him.

He doesn't know if he can live in the water, whether he will be suffocated to death, maybe his special physique has made him grow more gills? He didn't know.

Lin Mengdie said that she could, Jiang Yan couldn't help but be curious, she didn't look like she had gills.

In short, no matter what, he had to jump into the river and hide from the pursuit behind him.

The big river was getting closer, to be honest, under the moonlight, this big river was really beautiful, but Jiang Yan still didn't want to have too close contact with it.

Like jumping in.

How could he have jumped into the river since he was human? That wet feeling, living under the water? Keeping up with fish and turtles? Looking at those ugly lobsters? His scalp tingles just thinking about it.

Either way, he had to jump so he could save his life.

But he really didn't want to jump into the river!

As if he had seen the big ugly lobster, he said to him with his pincers, "Welcome! ”

Or a school of fish, with a disgusting slime, rubbing against him intimately.

The river is dirty, isn't it? Animals upstream may pee and even poop inside!

In short, for a modern person who grew up in a city, jumping into a river is really hard to accept!

The thought made him feel irritated, and he wanted to stop at once, not to run any further, not to go any closer to the river.

However, he can stop, and some powerful, terrible thing or group of powerful and terrible things behind him will not stop!

They'll rush over and tear him to shreds, so it's better to jump into the river!

But isn't there a better option? How about punching them all down with three punches and two kicks? That way I won't have to be torn to shreds or have to fucking jump into the river!

But the Ancient Desolate Divine Source had already told him that those things were more powerful than the people of the Dragon Slaying Group that he had dealt with before.

Fuck, Jiang Yan thought to himself, they are strong, I want to become stronger!

This is the desire of his heart, and it is true.

He also looked forward to the life of a monk, traveling in the East China Sea, staying in the sky at dusk, traveling with fairies, sitting in a chess game, how leisurely, how good!

But what is he going through now? From Longhu Mountain to Jianghan City, from Qinglou to this place, he felt that all this was like a game of whack-a-mole, he was a gopher.

He doesn't want to be a gopher, how can a person who likes to fight with others since he was a child and doesn't want to put up with the slightest provocation from others, how can he be willing to be a gopher?

He wanted to reach out, grab the whack-a-mole hammer, and hit it back.

Then he needs strength, and he wants to be strong.

How do you become strong? He didn't know, he didn't know how to practice, he didn't know how to improve his strength.

But, he thought, I'm in a secret place right now, and there are a lot of opportunities here.

Maybe if I eat a spirit grass, I can become strong, maybe if I get an artifact, I can become strong, right? Isn't that what they all write?

So, where is the spirit grass? He set his eyes on the river ahead.

That river is so big, so wide, and flowing in a secret realm, there must be something good in it, right?

Quite possibly, in this way, the ugly lobster, the mucus on the fish, does not seem so bad.

So, Jiang Yan dispelled the hesitation in his heart and jumped into the river with a plop.

"Dive down," said the Ancient Desolate Divine Origin, "and they'll stir up the river." ”

Jiang Yan waved his arms and legs hard, and kept diving down.

After a dozen seconds, he heard a loud "rumbling" sound, which stopped on the shore, and then a terrifying tiger roar, mixed with the howl of wolves and the mooing of old cows.

Jiang Yan struggled to dive, he knew that those monsters would definitely make a move, and maybe they would go into the water to hunt him down.

However, he thought too much, and after a few angry howls, the beasts obediently closed their mouths and left.

"Be careful," Lin Mengdie said, "there must be some powerful presence in this river." ”

"Shocked them," said the Ancient Desolate Divine Source, "so that they didn't dare to cross the thunder pool." ”

Jiang Yan heard this and retracted the range of his movements.

The monsters are gone, which is good news and means they're safe for the time being.

But at the same time, another powerful being, showing a scale and half a claw in the water, was it that frightened the youkai.

If it annoys it, the consequences are unimaginable.

Jiang Yan continued to dive.

The river was very deep, and the shallow waters of the moonlit river were magnificent, and the deeper it was dark.

However, Jiang Yan has a martial arts heavenly eye, and he can see clearly in the dark, which is a wonderful experience, very dark, but very clear.

In fact, the underwater world is not dark at all, and it can even be said that it is brightly lit.

He saw a lobster, the same ugliness, which made his scalp tingle, but it had a colorful shell and looked dreamy.

He saw a large fish, half the length of a man, with a huge light bulb on its head, illuminating the darkness.

There are also huge coral reefs, Jiang Yan doesn't understand why there are coral reefs in the inland river, but it does appear here, like agate and amber piles.

In short, everything was so beautiful and not as disgusting as he imagined.

"Why ......" He asked, and it was then that he suddenly realized that he could speak underwater.

Then he realized that he had been breathing smoothly underwater for a long time.

This discovery surprised him inexplicably, and he lost his voice for a while.

"What, why?" Lin Mengdie said that she didn't seem to care much about everything around her.

"The scenery here," Jiang Yan said, picking up the question just now, "is very different from the outside." ”

He didn't know what the river was like outside, but he could guess.

"The concentration of aura is high," Lin Mengdie said, "and the species has changed. ”

"Uh......" Jiang Yan was stunned for a while, he felt that the word mutation was not good, and it could not be used to describe these beautiful things in front of him.

He really wanted to have a good discussion with Lin Mengdie about this issue, but the next scene he saw made his whole soul fly out of the sky.

He saw a figure, in the water below, doing the same as him, constantly floating upward.

"What the hell?" Jiang Yan's heart skipped a beat, and the figure was clearly visible, almost passing by him, but he didn't look at him much.

It's terrifying, how can there be anyone here? Do they live underwater?

Jiang Yan felt his heart pounding, and at the same time, he discovered another thing.

He knew this person, this guy's face was crooked and looked ugly, but Jiang Yan still recognized him.

It was Bai Qingshan, the guy who was in the secret realm of the Heavenly Master's Mansion and was punched in the face by him.

Now, he and Jiang Yan passed by, floating to the surface little by little.

For a few seconds, Jiang Yan lost the ability to think, yes, he was dumbfounded.

How could Bai Qingshan be here? How can it go upstream little by little? What the fuck is going on?

When he reacted, he immediately turned around and caught up with Bai Qingshan, trying to reach out and grab him.

He didn't know why he did this, he felt that he seemed to be settling accounts with Bai Qingshan, because he was wanted by the whole city, all thanks to Bai Qingshan.

However, it was he who let Bai Qingshan go at the beginning!

His mind was in turmoil, and all in all, he decided to catch Bai Qingshan first.

He stretched out his hand, ready to grab Bai Qingshan's ankle, the other party's sluggishness made him feel confused, at such a close distance, why couldn't he notice me at all? He thought.

He grabbed the air, and his hand passed through Bai Qingshan's body.

He was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had slipped by scratching.

He grabbed it again, grabbed Bai Qingshan's calf, and grabbed it again, the water rippled, and Bai Qingshan continued to go upstream.

Fuck, what's going on? Jiang Yan didn't understand it.

"This seems to be a shadow," Lin Mengdie said, "he should be in a spatial passage, and the node of the spatial passage is in this river." ”

"That's true," added the Ancient Desolate Divine Element, "he looks like he's crossing this river, but he's actually teleporting into this space. ”

"And that kind of thing?" Jiang Yan had a question mark on his face, he roughly understood, he just wanted to say that the world of monks was magical.

At this time, he saw more people swimming up one after another.

"Faceless man?" He saw Long Ao, who had a blank face on his head.

Then he saw the deputy team leader, as well as some faces he had just seen not long ago, so he understood that even if he fled to this space, the people of the dragon slaying group would still chase after him.

"The redhead is here too?" Jiang Yan saw Chi Tianzhu, "What's that on his shoulder?" Lantern? ”

He saw that there was a fiery red cover on Chi Tianzhu's shoulder, and he didn't know what it contained.

"This damn guy is here too!"

Chi Tianzhu was followed by Huo Qilei, Jiang Yan was deeply impressed by this face, the other party's cold words, and the careless attitude of taking his life, made him hold a grudge.

Jiang Yan really hoped that what was in front of him was not a shadow, but the real Huo Crazy Thunder, so that he could pounce on it and have a good fight with that guy.
