Chapter 22: The Flowing Clouds and the River
CHAPTER XXII
To participate in the Liuyun River race, you have to prepare your own boat gear.
After returning to Jieyao Peak, Senior Brother Changlin and Senior Brother Gu Feng entered the mountain, and together they cut down a big tree that could only be surrounded by three or four people, intercepted the trunk, hollowed it out, and polished it, and made a wooden boat.
This movement is not small, and the top and bottom of Broken Yao Peak know it.
Ah Sheng has been getting started for a while, and the senior brothers and sisters of Duan Yaofeng also know Ah Sheng's situation, his talent is a little worse, but his heart is mellow and kind, and he has saved everyone's lives.
Therefore, after knowing that Ah Sheng was going to participate in the Liuyun River Race, some blamed Gu Feng, blaming him for not receiving such a dangerous battle pass, and some quietly stuffed Ah Sheng with some treasures for self-defense.
This touched Ah Sheng very much, and this was the first time he had received a gift.
"Don't worry, we will definitely protect Ah Sheng. If he has something to do, I, I'll bring my head to you. Changlin said to everyone more than once.
Next, the four-member team began to run in. They found a small ditch with strong water in the back mountain of Broken Yao Peak and drifted from top to bottom. The rest of the Broken Yao Peak played the role of the enemy, constantly launching various attacks on the team on the shore, simulating the real racing environment.
And so on until the day the stream began.
Early in the morning, the four of them carried the wooden boat to the Yunjian Waterfall, which is the upstream source of the Liuyun River.
Here gathered teams from various mountain gates and peaks, all kinds of boat equipment, strange shapes.
Ah Sheng probably looked at it, and there were hundreds of ships.
"This competition is too fierce. Ah Sheng's heart began to tense.
"Ah Sheng-" Chang Lin patted Ah Sheng's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Don't be nervous, our ultimate goal is, of course, to enter the top ten." But that's too hard, what we have to do is push forward and protect ourselves at the same time, and finish the race as much as possible. ”
"Well, our goal is to finish the stream. Dean nodded vigorously and agreed deeply.
"Actually, Liuyun River Sailiu has another meaning," Gu Feng looked more relaxed, and he said: "Ah Sheng, do you know what another name is for Liuyun River Sailiu?"
"What?"
"The outer door will try. A smile appeared on Gu Feng's face, and he said leisurely: "In addition to encountering the challenge from the Liuyun River, there will be other teams blocking and besieging it. We can see the competition between the same sect from different mountain gates, different peaks, and different realms, feel the gaps, check ourselves, and make up for our weaknesses. This is also the reason why every time someone dies in the Liuyun River Race, this battle pass will continue. ”
"Huh, will it die?" exclaimed.
"The Liuyun River has a large drop and a turbulent current, so if you accidentally fall, hit a reef or be hit by other boats—"
Ah Sheng gasped, he had always thought it was a simple boat race, but he didn't expect that his life would be in danger, and he immediately regretted it.
But now at this time, it's too late to regret it.
"Everyone, everyone-" Above the Cloud Waterfall, a green-robed man riding a cloud eagle shouted loudly: "The flow of the cloud river will start immediately." Please take your seats, with your boats. ”
All the teams lined up on the shore of the deep pool under the waterfall between the clouds, ready to go.
The green-robed man shouted loudly: "Three, two, one, let's go!"
When the last word fell, a dazzling light suddenly erupted on the bank of the river, and all kinds of vitality gushed out, and one after another the racing boats rushed into the deep pool, setting off a monstrous wave.
From the deep pool into the Liuyun River, the river narrows rapidly, and some boats directly pass through the huge waves and rush to the front. And many more boats collided, squeezing together densely, blocking the entire river.
For a time, the entrance of the river became a pot of porridge, and many racing boats failed to stabilize, and directly overturned, and were eliminated as soon as they appeared. Those who fell into the water, some were annoyed, some regretted, and more were angry.
Ah Sheng and the others had long expected this to happen, so they didn't rush forward at first, but waited until after the first round of collisions before they started to act.
"Be careful, don't collide with the capsized boat, and don't hit the person who has fallen overboard—" shouted Changlin, who was at the tail of the boat, controlling the direction in which the boat was heading.
Ah Sheng was in the middle of the boat, and after setting off, his nervousness gradually calmed down. He observed the surrounding situation, swept his eyes, saw a group of people, and suddenly exclaimed: "Senior brothers, the one named Changgui, they are also here-"
Following Ah Sheng's gaze, everyone saw that about 30 zhang away from the right side of the boat, there was a boat moving in tandem with them.
Changgui stood at the stern of the boat and waved at Ah Sheng, looking like he was greeting, but in Ah Sheng's eyes, it was a naked provocation.
"Everyone, be careful—" Changlin instructed.
Dodging the overturned boats, he rushed into the river, and the current suddenly became turbulent. There are also some prominent reefs in the river, which makes the river roll more and the boat race more difficult to control.
"There are continuous reefs ahead, take care of it!" shouted Gu Feng, who stood at the front of the boat race and was responsible for scouting the river and discovering the danger situation.
"Everyone, step on the right!" Changlin shouted.
Everyone moved at the same time, leaning to the right, and the entire hull of the ship was tilted to the right, and the cabin was almost level with the water.
"Step left!"
"Stand back, lift the bow!" the bow of the ship jerked up, and the bottom of the ship slammed into a reef, and the whole ship flew up before falling into the water and moving on.
The people watching the battle on both sides of the river suddenly burst into a cry.
"There is a canyon ahead, the width of the river is shrunk, and there are three racing boats approaching behind. They, they're on the right, take precautions—" Gu Feng shouted loudly.
When Gu Feng said about them, he naturally meant Changgui's team.
Changgui's boat race has been going hand in hand with Ah Sheng, as the river narrows, the canyon gradually approaches, and Changgui and they gradually get closer, it looks like a normal homeopathic approach.
But Ah Sheng knew that they had already planned it, and they were waiting for this opportunity.
"Come on, come on-" Ah Sheng held a black thumb-sized pill in his hand, which was the Qi Explosion Pill given to him by Senior Brother Jiu, which was a large amount of Yuan Qi compressed and sealed, and after being thrown, it would explode if it touched any object, and the Yuan Qi Explosion Bomb was very powerful.
Getting closer and closer, Ah Sheng could already see the cold smile on Changgui's face. And the next few racing boats are also approaching rapidly, and they are about to catch up with Ah Sheng.
Bang bang bang –
At the entrance to the canyon, several racing boats collided violently.
Under the cover of the splashing waves, Ah Sheng threw the Qi Explosion Pill in his hand towards Changgui.
"Blow you up!"
