Chapter 122: Demon Wind
The green-shirted boy stood at the stern of the boat and held the boat hard, and Yuna stood at the bow of the boat, letting the breeze blow. The rest of the people sat around the canopy and tasted the purple tea made by Wang Zhaolin himself.
The warm teacup has a touch of light blue, and although the taste is astringent at first, when it is slowed down to the throat, the refreshing feeling permeates the whole body, making people have an endless aftertaste.
"What's the matter?
Ling Wenxuan put down the teacup and gave a thumbs up to Wang Zhaolin, who was making tea on the side: "Yes! It is indeed a rare good tea, but what surprises me is that tea trees belong to subtropical plants, can tea trees be grown in such a high altitude area?"
"Purple tree is a kind of hardy tea tree, with the increase of altitude, the temperature and humidity will have obvious changes, in some mountainous areas of the purple fog plateau, there is abundant rainfall, many clouds and mist, and the air humidity is large, which is suitable for planting tea trees. Lu Juji moved his body and put down the teacup, "We Junlong people are fond of drinking tea, and planting purple trees has become one of the local industries, and there is a large area of tea plantations in Suhua Village. ”
Ling Wenxuan smiled and drank all the tea in the cup: "Then Brother Lu must take me to visit the tea garden in your village another day." ”
Lu Juji also smiled and said, "Yes, but we have to stay and come back." ”
"Look at what you said, we're just here to visit Tianqi Gorge, how can there be any danger?" Wang Zhaolin secretly glanced at the young man rowing behind the boat.
Seeing Ling Wenxuan winking at herself, Gui Xun'er thought for a moment and continued, "Since there won't be any danger, as a guide, shouldn't you introduce Tianqi Gorge to us?"
Wang Zhaolin scratched his head and said, "This ...... Xiao Lu'er, let's talk about it. ”
So Lu Juji cleared his throat, stood up and talked eloquently about the formation of Tianqi Gorge. Ling Wenxuan on the side left under the pretext of leaving and came to the bow of the boat.
The wind here was unlike any other place Ling Wenxuan had visited, with a bewildering quietness, crumpled clothes, and a cold body that could not allow him to perceive the magnitude of the wind speed, the emerald river rushed down from the mountains at an incredible speed, the waves crashing against the hull of the boat, making a heavy sound, and the towering snowy peaks on both sides of the river piled them up in a narrow space.
Youna's back is still so elegant, the dancing silver threads do not need to be embellished, this is the innate status symbol belonging to the Wei clan, the only clue about her life experience, she looks into the distance, her innocent eyes can't understand the artistic conception of this beautiful scenery, and she doesn't even understand what she is pursuing, except for her beautiful voice, everything seems to be blank for her.
"It's windy here, why don't you go into the canopy to rest, you must not have tasted purple tea." Ling Wenxuan came to Youna's side and looked at the same place as her.
Yuna Zhu's lips opened lightly: "No, I don't feel tired." ”
"Oh, whatever you want!" Ling Wenxuan turned around and leaned against the wooden railing on the edge of the boat, "Your physique surprises me, in such a high-altitude area, you actually didn't have the slightest altitude sickness, maybe you had special training before losing your memory, of course, there is another possibility, you were born with strong spiritual energy, of course, everything is just my guess." ”
Yuna patted the wooden railing and said with a smile: "What are you guessing blindly!
"Psionic energy is another form of spiritual power, casting spells need to condense the spiritual power in the body, the strength of the spell is determined by the practitioner's own spiritual power cultivation, the so-called spiritual energy is a kind of external energy used by the practitioner to export the spiritual power from the body, and the spiritual energy used to enhance the characteristics of various utensils is the well-known mantra, and the powerful enough spiritual energy even has the ability to affect the natural climate. ”
"Father, you know so much. Yuna cast a look of envy.
"Of course, I've been a traveling priest for many years and have been to many parts of the world. Ling Wenxuan said as he called out Youna's name, and took out a silver dagger from his pocket, "For a Salo, this thing is a good self-defense weapon, I think you will use it." ”
Yuna shirked, "But I won't use it." ”
"I also hope that you will never need it, but if something happens to me one day, who will protect you against this cruel world. Ling Wenxuan sighed and put the dagger back into its sheath, "Cortana, you have to remember that a person's courage is not to take how much blood from others, but to learn to forgive. ”
"Stop...... Stop...... Don't talk about those messy Tianyao Sect teachings, I'm not interested in joining the sect. Yuna pretended to be dizzy and took the dagger, "But there is always a good time, and I don't want to be looked down upon by you all the time, now my combat effectiveness has improved." ”
Gui Xun'er swiped her long hair back contemptuously and stepped out of the canopy: "Yes...... Five percentage points is not too much. ”
"The potential in other aspects is not so low, don't underestimate her so much, at least her physical fitness is far above the two of us. Ling Wenxuan spread his hands and took a step forward, "How much do you know about psionic powers?" There are very few people who are born with psychic abilities, and their potential surpasses our common sense......
Ling Wenxuan wanted to popularize psionic knowledge for the two of them again, but he heard a loud "boom" sound coming from the bottom of the boat, diverting his attention.
"What's wrong?" Wang Zhaolin quickly leaned out of the canopy when he heard the sound.
"Maybe I hit something! The water is too muddy to tell. Ling Wenxuan held on to the wooden railing, unable to see through the deep emerald river.
"It's a big deal! That kid ran away!" heard Lu Juji's hurried shout from the other end of the canopy, and everyone immediately ran from the bow to the stern.
The two oars lay horizontally near the mast, and the salutes and miscellaneous items placed around them were still intact, but the green-shirted boy disappeared as if the world had evaporated, and the rudder boat was alone in the canyon.
Lu Juji was so angry that he scolded a dirty word: "That kid must be very familiar with water, blame me for not paying attention just now, he should have deliberately left us here, damn liar." ”
"Wait...... Wait...... Don't you think this is too strange?" After everyone focused their eyes on him, Ling Wenxuan continued, "What we heard just now was not the sound of falling into the water, it came from the edge of the bottom of the boat, and it stands to reason that kid probably ran away while we weren't paying attention, because he knew that it would be dangerous to row any further. ”
Wang Zhaolin touched his head and said, "But this is not right! Before we came, we didn't tell him about the Qishui Dragon Palace, but in the name of tourism." ”
Ling Wenxuan suddenly realized, and clapped his palms and exclaimed, "Oh no, this is a trap! We are not the only ones looking for the Dreadnought Sword. ”
Just as Ling Wenxuan spoke, the rudder suddenly shook violently, and a louder roar came from all around the ship, Youna fell directly on the deck, Lu Juji's body was close to the mast, and Gui Xun'er and Wang Zhaolin both held on to the edge of the canopy so that they did not fall. Then a fierce wind howled, and the waves several feet high splashed on the boat, almost drowning the bow of the boat.
"Don't be stunned! get back into the tent!" Ling Wenxuan shouted as he waved his hand.
It took a lot of effort to pull Youna up from the ground, Wang Zhaolin and Lu Juji hurriedly avoided the obstacles in the canopy and came to the stern, one was responsible for untying the rope on the mast and raising the sails, and the other rowed hard to control the direction.
"It's over...... We're all done now, and the Frost Python is coming out. Lu Juji hugged his head and curled up to the side and wailed.
"Don't talk nonsense, you bullshit isn't credible. Ling Wenxuan stretched out his right hand with difficulty and pointed ahead, "Tianqi Gorge is a 'V'-shaped canyon, its upstream is wide and the downstream is narrow, this landform can easily form a strong canyon wind. ”
"But it's not like any normal canyon wind, and our boat is about to capsize it. Wang Zhaolin protected his forehead and shouted at Ling Wenxuan.
As soon as the words fell, several lightning bolts swept through the air, and the fierce wind gathered the dark clouds into a cluster, and kept rotating towards their rudder boat, Ling Wenxuan immediately took out the Seven Artifact Detector and pointed at the storm in the sky, and the pointer on the instrument spun wildly: "Not good! The readings on the detector show that there is a powerful spiritual energy ahead, this abnormal storm may be formed by the influence of spiritual energy, we must leave here immediately." ”
"It can't be done! The current is so fast that our boat can't turn around. Lu Juji threw the oars aside in frustration, and he suddenly realized that in time he was not rowing, and the river was carrying them to the center of the storm at an alarming speed.
As the ship got closer to the storm, a terrifying phenomenon occurred, stratus clouds wrapped around a giant tornado, with a strong suction force to roll up the river weight of ten thousand guilds and hit the mountains on both sides, the mountains splashed by the river quickly condensed into ice, and everywhere the storm went, frost carved into snow peaks.
The fear in everyone's eyes seemed to be frozen by this cold air, and they couldn't ease their senses for a long time. It turns out that the so-called frost python is a waterspout controlled by spiritual energy, due to the special terrain of Tianqi Gorge, this storm was sealed in the canyon after thousands of years has not been exhausted, all the creatures in the storm area have been wiped out, and gradually people are rumored to be a giant python lover.
However, the size of the waterspout does pull their ship into its accretion horizon like the legendary python, and although the Celestial Spirit Enchantment can resist a certain amount of potential energy, their hull is almost covered in ice and snow, and once sucked into the storm, everyone will not be spared.
In desperation, Ling Wenxuan came up with a bold plan, because the waterspout rotated counterclockwise, the boat had to be rowed in the opposite direction of the wind to avoid being pulled into the storm.
So, Wang Zhaolin and Lu Juji lifted the oars without saying a word, and one person at the head and tail rowed the oars in one direction at the same time, while Ling Wenxuan and Gui Xun'er condensed their spiritual power and cast spells to strengthen the Heavenly Spirit Enchantment.
The debris blown up by the storm flew all over the sky, and many of the ships that attacked them were quickly bounced away under the effect of the Heavenly Spirit Enchantment, emitting a violent roar, and the dim sky let out a terrifying and mournful sound under the action of the demon wind. The moment she stared at the eye of the wind, Yu Na's eyes suddenly lost their luster, and countless broken words and people's fearful shouts came from her mind, and when she came back to her senses, her feet had already fallen into the water, if it weren't for Ling Wenxuan's hands holding her tightly, I am afraid she would have been swept away by the rapids.
"Hold on to my hand, don't let go......" Ling Wenxuan grabbed Youna's wrist with one hand, and with the other hand, he cast the Heavenly Spirit Enchantment, which seemed extremely difficult.
Seeing this, Wang Zhaolin hurriedly rushed over, and the two of them worked together to barely pull Youna up. Unfortunately, not long after he let go of the oars, the entire ship lost its balance, and Ling Wenxuan's spiritual power was excessively depleted and could not support the Heavenly Spirit Enchantment.
The rubble poured on the ship like a torrential rain, some of which were blocked by Gui Xun'er with the Qixu Sword, and the rest caused great damage to the hull, the entire deck was full of holes, and the bottom of the ship had begun to leak, and they were about to die in the demonic wind.
"Everyone must hold on, we are almost able to pass through the phoenix eye. She was exhausted as she resisted the gravel and cheered everyone on, but she didn't want to give up hope of survival.
Ling Wenxuan smashed the larger stones with his spirit guide on the side, his gun speed was very fast, but there were too many stones, and one of them flew in the direction of Youna.
Yuna, who was paralyzed on the ground, had no strength to dodge the boulder, so she could only watch in place and not know what to do. At the moment when the boulder was about to hit her, Ling Wenxuan flew towards Youna, protecting her with his own flesh and blood, but his forehead was injured by the boulder, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.
Facing Ling Wenxuan, who fell backwards, this time Yuna failed to grab his hands, and watched sadly as he was swept away by the sudden demon wind.
