Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Trial of the Flowing Wind River

A few days later, on this day, the two of them rode their horses to the side of the Grand Canal on the right side of Qingshan City.

The river is flowing endlessly, and the speed of the flow is extremely alarming and domineering. Perhaps because of the amazing flow speed of this canal, people named this long river Liufeng River, which is a metaphor for the speed of water flowing not weaker than the wind. The total length of this river is not known how many kilometers, and in terms of width alone, it is more than 20 kilometers.

On the other side of the river, there is a boundless primitive wilderness, and the demon beasts in the wilderness are even more terrifying, far from being comparable to the low-level demon beasts like the green-haired wolf. Most of them are Xuan-level, and there may even be ground-level demon beasts inside, and the roar of the beast can be heard clearly from dozens or even hundreds of miles away, which shows how amazing its power is.

A small part of the canal water near the Qingshuang City, led by Zhao Mingfeng himself, the powerful monks built three large, medium and small iron nets, each of which has three sides, and the side near the river is fixed by thick iron chains to prevent it from being washed away by the river. The Liufeng River occupies an area the size of several football fields, which will be used as a practice place for Li Xuan and Wang Xiaopang in the future.

They will fight against the rushing river, the iron net is to prevent and block the attack of the demon beasts in the river, and the three roads are built because if the demon beasts are too strong and ignore the iron net, it will also give Li Xuan and them time to escape in advance. There is another effect, which is to prevent them from being washed away by the current.

The two took off only a pair of shorts, Li Xuan and Wang Xiaopang glanced at each other, Wang Xiaopang was a little afraid, he was not too good at swimming, not to mention that he was facing this kind of galloping Grand Canal like ten thousand horses.

Li Xuan encouraged him with his eyes, and both jumped into the river. As soon as they entered the water, before the two of them had time to paddle their hands, they were immediately swept away by the current, snapped, and hit the iron net.

Struggling to straighten their bodies, the two of them roared and roared...... Strive against the stream. He didn't swim a few meters away, but he was swept forward and backwards, and he was poured a few mouthfuls of water and hit the iron net.

The two of them were like this, red-eyed, rushing and retreating, retreating and colliding, colliding and rushing again. For a long time, the two of them were covered with countless dark red nets on their bodies and faces.

Wang Xiaopang only felt that his whole body was sore, and the whole person seemed to fall apart, so he climbed along the iron net and climbed onto the bank of the river, looking at Li Xuan who was still desperate.

Li Xuan roared and roared, but unfortunately these were powerless, the river seemed to be angry at Li Xuan's move against the current, and wave after wave of rivers directly submerged Li Xuan's entire cover, Li Xuan was hit and dizzy, but he was still insisting.

The spiritual food he ate was not covered, and in just a few days, his physical fitness was obviously much stronger than Wang Xiaopang, otherwise these things would not be so expensive, and even city lord-level figures could not eat them often. Of course, this is also inseparable from hard work.

In the end, it was not until the signal of almost collapse came from his body that Li Xuan went ashore along the iron net, and as soon as he landed, Li Xuan lay directly on the ground in a large shape, panting like a cow and his face was pale.

For half a month, they spent most of their time in the water, challenging the Liufeng River, and Li Xuan came to the finish line one step ahead of Wang Xiaopang. At the end of the line is a steel pillar in this large iron fence like a beast's cage, which was left behind a long time ago when Qingshan City was built to test the depth of the river and prevent flooding in the upper reaches of the Liufeng River.

Like this iron pillar, there is also one in the central water area of the Liufeng River, and that one is larger and longer. The one that Li Xuan grabbed was relatively close to the shore, and the three iron nets were built around this iron pillar. This iron pillar is actually not small, and Li Xuan is dissatisfied with his hands around him. The surface of the iron pillar is a little rough, not too slippery, and there is no algae or anything like that, so I don't know what material it is cast in.

According to Zhao Mingfeng's instructions, Li Xuan held the iron pillar and dived underwater, and there were ten small iron chains tied under the iron pillar. He grabbed one of them, untied it, tied it to himself, and pulled it hard.

There was a gurgling sound, a thick piece of wood was pulled out, and Li Xuan also emerged from the water. The length of the wood is nearly ten meters, and it is almost one meter thick. The iron chain is very long, and the two ends of the Y-shaped giant wood are tied on both sides, and one end is dragged by Li Xuan in his hand.

As soon as this giant tree was pulled up by Li Xuangang, Li Xuan's whole person almost couldn't grasp the column, and was carried away by the giant tree. Because of its large size, the amount and force of the impact of the water flow is bound to be greater.

Li Xuan's forehead was bruised, and he laboriously wrapped the iron chain around his armpits, and then tied it around his waist. Then he took a sharp breath and dived into the water along the iron pillar, he looked like a gecko, with the iron pillar climbing on his head and feet, and he was about to take the second chain.

This time, it was not as simple as the first time, this time, because of the giant wood in hand, whether it was momentum or buoyancy, it severely limited Li Xuan's speed. Li Xuan felt extremely heavy, you know, now more than 300 catties of stones can be easily lifted by him, but he feels that there are only about 200 catties of giant trees on the ground, and when they come to the water, they can't pull and drag them to the bottom. It was already hard to keep it from being swept away by the momentum, and he had to challenge its buoyancy, especially now that he was holding his breath......

There is only one result of all this.

Li Xuan only entered the water a few meters underwater, and the giant tree only sank a little, perhaps not because Li Xuan pulled, but because it was pressed down by the current. In an instant, the log popped out of the water, and Li Xuan suddenly felt a tightness in his waist, and the power on the other side of the chain was unimaginable, and he directly pulled Li Xuan away.

Li Xuan couldn't catch it, he snorted under the water, and was pulled out, and the log dragged Li Xuan quickly across the water, and then hit the iron net hard, and stopped. Li Xuan also arrived later, and the whole person was pretended to be dark. It took a long time to slow down, but this time it was too ruthless and too accurate, and it just hit the bridge of the nose, causing Li Xuan to have a nosebleed now, almost back to breath.

After Li Xuan recovered for nearly half a day, he climbed along the edge of the iron net, dragging the giant tree to crawl, because it was impossible for him to swim back to the original place, even if you had the strength of ten thousand catties, it was useless, because you did not have a focus point, and it was not because of your strength that you could swim against the current to the cylinder, but because of your good endurance.

So you have to crawl along the fence to the one upstream and let the current wash you up to the cylinder and grab it. According to Zhao Mingfeng's thoughts, if he could successfully take away the sixth giant tree, just by taking it away, the forging realm of the five major realms of refining body would be completed. These are still far from Li Xuan, and he can't do the first one, let alone six.

A month has passed in a blink of an eye, Li Xuan's progress is very obvious, and his perseverance is also extraordinary, he goes out in good spirits every day, and before sunset, he drags his tired body back, and the meals are sent by Li Qing'er and Zhao Xuan'er.

With Li Xuan's progress, the consumption of spiritual food and the like is faster, and Li Xuan now has to eat twice as much spiritual food as before.

Zhao Mingfeng had to ask Zhao Xuan'er to personally buy Lingmi Lingquan every few days.

There is a shop in Qingshuang City that specializes in selling the food that these monks eat, these things are expensive, and they didn't sell well before, but recently they have sold twice as well as before, which makes the shop ecstatic, and they are all the daughters of the city lord's family who come to buy them.

Every time the old man selling rice watched Zhao Xuan'er come over to buy Lingmi and Lingquan, he would kindly give Zhao Xuan'er a small handful, that is, about a dozen grains. The price of this kind of spiritual rice is amazingly high, a grain of spiritual rice can be compared to the price of a grain of gold of the same size, which shows that its price is high, and the spiritual spring is slightly cheaper.

If a big customer like Zhao Xuan'er asks for a bag of [ten catties] of Lingmi and a jar of wine Lingquan, the old man will definitely give some discounts. On the one hand, he looked at Zhao Mingfeng's face, after all, this is his territory, on the one hand, he saw that people bought a lot and wanted to do business for a long time, and on the other hand, he also saw that Zhao Xuan'er was a girl, so he sent more than a dozen grains of spiritual rice.

The wolf king meat was eaten half a month ago.

Zhao Mingfeng went to the wilderness alone with a bow and arrow, sometimes for two or three days as soon as he went out, and he handed over the task of building a city behind Qingshuang City to Shangguan Miao. He wants to hunt the kind of demon beasts that can make people grow their strength, and occasionally pick some spiritual vegetables and elixirs.

For this reason, he basically risked his life, because each elixir either grows in a dangerous place, or it is guarded by demon beasts.

I remember one time, he returned to the city covered in blood, dragging a sixth-order fierce beast the size of a buffalo in his hand, the Earthquake Mountain Tiger.
