"Quick, get to the shore!"

The middle-aged man who had just come out of the cabin carried a basket of feather arrows on his back and a large bow and arrow in his hand, shouted at the bow of the boat, and hurried to the direction where the dragon horned catfish demon collided with the hull of the ship.

Hearing the captain's order, the boatman at the helm hurriedly swayed the ship's hull from side to side, and manipulated the rudder to try to make the ship dock to the right.

However, he managed to twist the rudder a few times with both hands, and as a result, the hull of the ship shook, and his feet were unstable, and the whole person fell on the deck, and slipped on the guardrail next to the ship, and the rudder wheel that no one controlled naturally turned in the right direction.

Seeing this scene, Mu Yuan, who was close to the rudder, let go of the hands that were holding on the stake, staggered to the rudder, and grabbed the rudder.

He turned his head and asked the boatman how he did it, and immediately turned the rudder as the boatman had instructed.

After a while, I saw the ship slowly approaching the shore.

At this time, the passenger merchant ship was no longer shaking as violently as before, but it was still shaking because of the huge waves of the river at this time, which was more than three feet long.

The huge waves, which can be more than two and a half zhang high, were made by the dragon horned catfish demon with its huge body that was about twenty-one zhang long, tumbling and flapping on the river.

The dragon horned catfish demon had been hit by five or six arrows, and it was the middle-aged man who shot it, which was one of the reasons why it was so violent.

The middle-aged man was still standing at a commanding height on the ship, where the spiritual power flowing in his body pulled the bow and arrow, and aimed at the dragon horned catfish demon, and an arrow flew through the air, swishing.

The dragon horned catfish demon, who was hit by two or three feathered arrows again, let out a hoarse low roar, and saw that he couldn't get close to the boat, and he couldn't help the middle-aged man standing on the high part of the boat, so he sank into the river and disappeared.

Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man only hesitated for a moment, and then continued to draw his bow and prepare for the hair, and he had been vigilant at the highest place on this ship, for fear that the dragon horn catfish demon would appear again and cause trouble.

Fortunately, the hull of this ship was still strong enough, and what was broken by the dragon horned catdemon before was only a crack that was not too big, and it would not be able to submerge such a wide passenger merchant ship in a moment and a half.

Under the violent shaking caused by the impact of the dragon horn catfish demon before, five or six people had already fallen into the river, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

And the people in the cabin basically ran out, standing on the deck at the moment, all trembling and undecided.

The people on the boat were powerless to help, so they could only pray in their hearts that Mu Yuan would be okay before the ship sank into the river, hoping that he could drive the boat to the shore in time.

However, at this moment, from the middle water far above the river, a huge black shadow about 21 zhang long instantly rose into the air and smashed down heavily in the middle of the hull of the passenger merchant ship.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, mixed with countless screams of horror and despair, and the huge passenger merchant ship was stopped and broken in an instant.

Except for those who stood on the deck in the center of the ship and died without being able to escape in the first place, the rest of the people all fell into the river without exception.

At the same time, the two hulls of the ship toppled down in a moment, slowly sinking into the river......

The middle-aged man standing at the top of the boat, and Mu Yuan were the first to discover the huge and long black shadow, which was the huge body of the Dragon Horn Catfish Demon.

When the two of them saw that the dragon horn catfish demon was far away, it vigorously threw its body about twenty-one feet long and hit the hull of the ship, and they only shouted, "Jump the ship!" He jumped up from the boat, jumped into the water, and swam at an alarming speed to a beach that was already on the bank of the river.

To the surprise of the two of them, the dragon-horned catfish demon seemed to have known that they were going to run away, and after smashing the passenger merchant ship, it chased after them.

Trailing behind the middle-aged man in the waters five or six zhang away, Mu Yuan sensed that the Dragon Horn Catfish Demon was following him ten zhang away, and he couldn't help but make a bitter face.

"Damn, I don't seem to have recruited you, I haven't provoked you, why do I have to follow behind Lao Tzu!"

In fact, if Mu Yuan staggered the direction in which the middle-aged man swam, maybe he would have had an easier time escaping in the water, after all, the middle-aged man shot and injured the dragon horn catfish demon first, and he must have a deeper grudge against him, but unfortunately he didn't realize this.

Seeing that the dragon horn catfish demon was already approaching a distance of less than a zhang behind him, Mu Yuan slapped the water with both hands, and then he gritted his teeth, looking very reluctant, as if he was cutting a piece of meat on his own body, he made up his mind.

"Lao Tzu won't play with you anymore!"

Dropping such a sentence, Mu Yuan leaped up from the water, his feet didn't know when, he had already changed into two emerald green boots, wrapped with some silver streamers, he actually stepped on the void and ran away, surpassing the middle-aged man in the blink of an eye.

The dragon horn catfish demon originally thought that if it opened its big mouth of blood disk, it would be able to take Mu Yuan in and stuff it between its teeth, but it not only pounced into the air, but also saw Mu Yuan under its eyes, flying onto the shore.

Annoyed, it let out a low roar, and then quickly swung its body after the middle-aged man who was about to swim ashore.

Seeing this, Mu Yuan hurriedly reached out to pull the middle-aged man, and just when the latter was pulled ashore and was about to congratulate himself on his great fortune, the dragon horned catfish demon opened his mouth with a blood plate, and from a distance, he instantly dragged a long huge beast body and leaped up, biting half of the latter's body fiercely in his mouth.

"Ahh

The middle-aged man let out a miserable scream, weakly let go of the hand on Mu Yuan's hand, and was taken into the water by the dragon horn catfish demon.

Mu Yuan looked at all this in a daze, but he couldn't save it, and finally lowered his head and sighed deeply.

"When the juniors are strong, they will definitely personally slash this demon beast and avenge your shame!"

Those old and young who fell into the river from the boat, whether they could swim or didn't know how to swim, except for Mu Yuan, who was standing on the shore, the rest did not escape the call of death without exception.

Because after the dragon horn catfish demon couldn't help Mu Yuan, he returned to the water where everyone was struggling to shout for help, and began to harvest human lives one by one......

Mu Yuan wanted to go to the rescue, but he had the intention to kill the demon, and he couldn't do it.

He took off the soft jade-like boots on his feet, looked at them with a somewhat complicated expression, then put back the storage ring, and took out a pair of cloth shoes to put his feet on.

The pair of emerald green soft boots were the only token left to him by Mu Yuan's mother, and they were a pair of magic weapons that could fly in the air.

Although his emerald boots are a great weapon to keep the sky in the sky, there are limits to how they can be used.

Before you want to wear these jade boots and walk in the air, you must instill spiritual power into them, and the user is still a cultivator before you can use them.

Before, the reason why Mu Yuan was able to run through the air and escape from the blood plate mouth of the Dragon Horn Catfish Demon like that was because he urged Chang An to instill the spiritual power in the jade boots before his death.

And there is not much room for storing spiritual power in the boots, and there is not much spiritual power contained in them.

In addition, according to Mu Yuan's current cultivation at the furnace stage, he still can't infuse spiritual power into it.

What's more, the jade boots can't weigh two or more people under Mu Yuan's cultivation before mentioning the condensation stage.

Having said that, Mu Yuan put on his shoes, walked into a mountain forest, and began to meditate and cultivate the method of gathering qi.

The next morning, the warm sunlight shone through the mist and dense foliage of trees, turning into a colorful light.

Mu Yuan cultivated for a night, and he didn't feel how much the furnace in his body had condensed, and then he thought about it for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, after all, the spiritual energy in this mountain forest was very scarce.

"Alas...... I don't know how Yan Xiaotian obtained those spirit stones. ”

As the saying goes, without contrast, there is no harm. It was only at this time that Mu Yuan remembered the extraordinaryness of the two spirit stones that Yan Xiaotian gave him.

At noon, after climbing several mountains, Mu Yuan sat in the shade of an ancient tree that three adults could only hold hand in hand.

"What kind of bird place is this? How could there not be even half a trace of a bird or beast, and not even a small caterpillar had been seen in half. ”

"I'm starving!"

Mu Yuan lay down on the grass, squinted his eyes, and stroked his gurgling belly with his hand.

He regretted a little that before the night he escaped from Bai'an City, why didn't he buy some baked cakes, steamed buns, buns and other similar dry food to store in the storage ring.

Along the way, he was rushing in the direction of Changle City, and at the same time wanted to find some wild meat near the road to satisfy his hunger.

It's just that he didn't know what the reason was for crossing the mountains and mountains all the way, except for him and the grass and trees all over the mountains, he didn't see any other creatures, not even a wild fruit.

However, not long after Mu Yuan lay on the grass, his slightly upturned nose, which was quite delicate, suddenly smelled a smell similar to roast chicken.

The taste of the roast chicken is not very strong, on the contrary, it is very thin, but Mu Yuan feels very sweet, and then the taste gradually becomes thicker in superposition, and there is more onion, cloves, five spices, star anise, and peppercorns in the sweetness......

"Wait a minute, this ...... This is not the dish I have eaten in the Fu Lai Restaurant...... Is it called a flower chicken? ”

Thinking of this, Mu Yuan suddenly jumped forward, stood up and kept sniffing with his nose along the source of the fragrance, and walked lightly in the direction of the ancient tree behind him.

After a while, Mu Yuan walked around to the back of the ancient big tree and saw an old man with messy hair and tattered clothes biting a big chicken leg, and beside him there was a chicken called flower chicken that had broken the chicken breast.

Mu Yuan's Adam's apple rolled, his face was greedy, and he watched the old man finish gnawing on the chicken leg, and then tore off another big chicken leg, put it in the chicken breast and dipped it in the juice, and then tore it again.

"Boy, don't look at it, no matter how much you see, you won't have your share."
