Chapter 21 is calculated, trapped in a backwater river

Chu Xiao packed up what he needed, and after calming down, Chu Xiao remembered the look that Yan Feng looked at him when the trial was announced today.

"It turns out that the backer of Yan Han's inner sect that the disciples said is his own brother!"

Knowing the truth of the matter, Chu Xiao shook his head a little helplessly, he originally wanted to calm things down, simple cultivation, it seems that it is not so easy, thinking of the three-year covenant, Chu Xiao went back to his original position and began to meditate and practice.

Demon Island was originally an isolated island, but hundreds of years ago, many demon beasts suddenly gathered from all over the place, because of the gathering of spiritual energy on Demon Island and the large number of elixirs, they took root here.

The Divine Xuantian Sect is located on the edge of Dongzhou, only separated by a river from the Demon Island, so many trials of the disciples of the Divine Xuantian Sect are here.

"Today you are going to participate in the trial of the outer door selection, this time the winner has a good chance to enter the inner door, I hope all of you will take it seriously, don't break the rules!" When the disciples were about to leave, Yan Feng specially instructed everyone, and also deliberately glanced at Chu Xiao, who was at the end of the line, his eyes were full of meaning.

"Little junior brother, you're afraid that you're being targeted, what's the matter, are you willing to form an alliance with senior brother and me?" Tang Xuan on the side naturally noticed Yan Feng's gaze, and he slowly approached Chu Xiao with a smile on his face.

"Thank you!" Chu Xiao just thanked him, and then went to Demon Suppression Island with the team.

This river between Shenxuan Tianzong and Zhen Demon Island is called the Forgotten Worry River, and he also has an alias called "Dead Water River", I don't know if all the aura has been absorbed by the island, the water of this river gives people the feeling that it has never flowed, and there are rumors that once it falls into the Dead Water River, it will be dead and dead, no one has dared to try it since ancient times, and I don't know if those who fall into the river are okay.

I don't know if it was intentionally arranged, a large part of the disciples on the boat Chu Xiao is in are the powerhouses of the outer sect in the mountains and rivers list, although there is an elder in each boat to protect everyone, but they will not interfere in the enmity of the mountains and rivers list after all.

Chu Xiao had been standing at the stern of the boat, not noticing the sinister faces of the few people who came from the bow of the boat.

The elder used his internal force to maintain the ship's speed, and soon reached the range that the island could influence, and the surrounding area was shrouded in a white mist.

"What's going on?"

As the white mist became thicker and thicker, many timid disciples made panicked sounds, and Chu Xiao also frowned, standing at the stern of the boat, not daring to move in the thick fog.

"Don't be afraid, we'll be there in a moment!"

The captain comforted the disciples on the ship very calmly, obviously this situation was common.

Chu Xiao's nervous mood slowly relaxed his vigilance with the elder's words, and at the moment when he was about to go back to the cabin, he suddenly felt someone pushing him behind him, and Chu Xiao was unsteady on his feet, and fell into the backwater river along the stern.

"Someone fell overboard!"

With this shout, everyone learned that someone had fallen overboard, and the boat stopped for a moment, but because in the dense fog, the elder had to move quickly.

Because Chu Xiao was defenseless, he fell to the bottom of the sea at once and swallowed a large mouthful of river water.

He tried to hold his breath, then struggled to open his eyes and look at the bottom of the water.

There is really no living life at the bottom of the water, and the water is not clear, as if it is covered by something, which is very oppressive, which may be the reason why it is called the "backwater river".

Chu Xiao couldn't guess whether his fall into the water was accidental or man-made, he was trying to swim towards the water, but unexpectedly, Chu Xiao found that the water was not buoyant at all.

No wonder there are elders in every boat, I see.

Chu Xiao seemed to understand something, and he couldn't help but swallow another mouthful of river water again, which was fishy and salty.

"I'm afraid it's going up, and the boat has already left!"

Chu Xiao imagined in his heart, using the emperor's vein to protect his whole body, minimize his breathing, and began to look for direction, but the whole river was no different. The river was unusually unclear, which made him unable to find his direction at all.

Chu Xiao frowned, standing at the bottom of the river, a little irritable, how much jokes does this god have to play with himself, he calmed down, followed the place where he fell, and slowly walked forward.

Under the influence of the emperor's vein, there was no resistance to the river, and Chu Xiao walked at the bottom of the river as if he were walking on the ground, and in his consciousness, this was the direction of the Demon Suppression Island.

Through the thick fog, Demon Suppression Island had already appeared in front of all the disciples.

"It was my disciple who accidentally fell into the water?"

The elder instructed one of the disciples to control the direction of the boat, and then counted the number of disciples on the boat.

"What about Chu Xiao?"

The elder frowned and looked at the crowd, but no one answered.

"It seems that he is the one who fell into the water!" The elder was a little ashamed, and failed to notice the smug looks of several disciples on the side.

"Iris?" Just when Chu Xiao drank several sips of river water and wanted to give up, a shining plant in front of him attracted his attention.

He walked forward quickly, standing in front of the reddish grass, a little excited.

Iris, which likes yin tides, has strong purifying power, and has a strong vitality and can survive in any harsh environment, so its effect is to maintain life.

What is unusually difficult to find, the effect is more and more practical.

Chu Xiao was not in a hurry to pocket this elixir, but was looking for the source of this plant.

It is impossible for anything to take root and grow at the bottom of this river, and the purification function of the iris has already purified this stagnant water a little clear, Chu Xiao guessed that his roots will grow on the Demon Island.

Now that he had found the right direction, Chu Xiao followed the growth trick of the iris and slowly moved forward, and sure enough, he really saw the root of the iris plant, which was on an island connected to the bottom of the river.

Chu Xiao sighed in his heart, this whole road was not easy, he didn't uproot the irise, he just picked a leaf of the irise, and then climbed up along the roots of the island.

"Elder, when can we start?"

Li Rongyue was a little impatient, although they had already arrived on the island, they had not started the trial, everyone was waiting at the entrance to the edge of the island.

"Yes, that person fell into the backwater river, and he will definitely not survive!"

In the list of mountains and rivers attached to the side, someone made an assertion.

Just after Yan Feng informed a few people about the trial, they had already planned everything, this was only the first step, they didn't think it would be so easy, the thick fog really helped them a lot.

"Alas, what a pity!"

This elder is only in charge of trials, so he rarely shows up to participate in the affairs of the outer sect, and he has only heard a little about Chu Xiao and the people on the list of mountains and rivers, and he appreciates Chu Xiao's strength very much, it is really a pity that he died so young.
