Chapter 18 – Red River in Distress
After passing through the bitter bamboo forest, you will arrive at the Chimei River. The river is very special, the water is blood-red all year round. Therefore, it is also called the Red River, but when the water in the river leaves the river, it will become colorless and transparent, which is no different from ordinary river water. The surface of the river seems to be calm, but in fact there is an undercurrent, and none of the people who jumped into the river have ever reappeared. No one knows how deep the river is, or how many lives it devours. Still, there are people who are desperate to sail down the river - because it's the fastest way to the Alien Forest.
Nameless didn't choose to fly back to the Alien Demon Forest directly with Xin'er, and now that he had just killed someone in Washington, the volley flight was too conspicuous, so Nameless chose the quickest and most hidden way - the waterway.
On the surface of the Chimei River, Nameless and Xin'er are riding a small boat down the river. The further downstream, the wider the river becomes, and more and more tributaries flow into the Chimei River, the water becomes more and more rapid, and the color of the Chimei River becomes a deeper vermilion.
Nameless stopped at a diversion place, turned to Xin'er and said, "Little Xin'er, the boat may be a little bumpy in a while, you have to be careful, don't fall down." Although Nameless was absolutely sure not to let Xin'er fall, for the sake of prudence, Nameless reminded Xin'er.
Xin'er nodded, sat on the boat, and firmly grasped the edge of the boat with both hands: "Grandpa, don't worry, Xin'er will definitely hold on to the boat to prevent herself from falling." Nameless was relieved and continued to control the boat heading forward, while a transparent protective cover quietly wrapped the boat.
Soon after the boat sailed, the river was surging with wind and clouds, and the waves were rolling, and the waves were rushing towards the boat like a mountain and a sea. But the small boat is like a soldier marching in a storm, always moving forward steadily, unaffected.
Layers of bubbles appeared on the surface of the river, and the river water continued to tumble and stir like boiling blood, and steam continued to rise up, forming a huge red fog on the surface of the river, making it difficult to see ahead.
I saw a behemoth emerge from the bottom of the river, and because the fog was too thick, I couldn't see what it looked like, and I only saw two football-sized eyes shining green in the thick fog. Immediately after, countless creatures surfaced, and countless pairs of eyes stared at the boat with various colors of light.
Xin'er couldn't help but tremble when she saw it, and subconsciously closed her eyes.
The creatures made all sorts of terrifying cries and lunged towards the boat, but they couldn't get close to it, and they couldn't see the strange creatures in the boat.
The cries echoed across the lake, and it was clear that the creatures in the river were very dissatisfied, screaming and lapping on the water, setting off huge waves, but the boat was safe and sound all the time.
Suddenly, a rainbow light appeared next to the boat, thinking that it was another lake monster, so Nameless didn't care at first, and continued to control the boat, passing through layers of rapids and moving forward.
Hearing only the sound of "pop!", Xin'er rolled uncontrollably to the left, and was instantly sucked into the bottom by this rainbow light.
"Xin'er!" didn't have time to think about it, and a nameless fierce man also plunged into the water.
As soon as he entered the water, Nameless searched everywhere for Xin'er's location. The river was blood-colored, and he couldn't see anything around him at all, only that there were countless creatures approaching Nameless, but Nameless didn't kill them, but bounced them away one by one - the top priority was to find Xin'er as soon as possible, killing them would only make the bottom of the water more blurry, wasting Nameless's time. In the end, the monster in the river found that the sudden stranger did not seem to be easy to mess with, and no longer provoked Nameless, but always kept a certain distance from Nameless, waiting for an opportunity.
Nameless anxiously searched for Xin'er in the water, but was never seen, and Xin'er seemed to disappear out of thin air in the water. Nameless was anxious at this time, he hadn't felt this upset for a long time. He knew that he couldn't turn to anyone for help, and if he couldn't even find Xin'er, no one in the world would be able to find her again.
The strong are always helpless, because the help of others is in vain for themselves. At this time, Nameless actually felt this sense of helplessness from the inside out.
His eyes were red, and his nameless and cloudy eyes were also dyed red. Feeling the irrepressible violent aura in his body and the continuous downward pull, Nameless finally chose to return to the shore, even a peerless powerhouse like Nameless could not stay at the bottom of the Red River for too long.
As soon as he landed ashore, Nameless flew into the sky, holding a staff in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, and said angrily: "I didn't want to kill, but you ate my most beloved granddaughter, so you should all bury her with her." Fenghuo ......"
"Wait, human!" I saw a black dragon hurrying out of the river, anxiously saying, "That girl is not dead!"
Nameless put away his sword and staff and said in a deep voice: "You are the river god in charge of this section of the river, right? Now you have the courage to come out? Actually, you said that Xin'er is not dead, then hurry up and hand it over to me intact, otherwise I promise to let this entire section of the river cease to exist!"
At this time, the dragon had turned into a human form, wearing a gray robe with a handsome face, quite a strong demeanor, but when he met a nameless, this so-called strong demeanor was a little insufficient. He didn't doubt what Nameless said, and the huge pressure released by Nameless made it dare not look into Nameless's eyes at all, so he had to bow his head and say, "That girl is indeed not dead, but I really don't know where she went." ”
Seeing that Nameless was about to make a move after hearing his words, the dragon immediately said: "Don't don't, human, don't move first, your protective shield, even I can't break it, and the creatures in the water can't drag the girl into the water at all." ”
Nameless withdrew his sword and staff again and asked, "Then you say, what the hell is going on? Could it be that my precious granddaughter has disappeared under my nose, do you think I will believe this kind of thing?"
The dragon that turned into a human form wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said: "This matter is a long story, during the period when I was just in charge of the river, I don't know which day, a yellow bead sank to the bottom of the river, at first I didn't care, thinking that it would be corroded in two days, but after several days, the bead still did not disappear, just sank quietly in the water." At first I wanted to throw it ashore, but I found that I couldn't touch it at all, and there seemed to be a barrier around it that I couldn't break at all. Moreover, I also found that there was a very strong aura of life and elemental aura around this bead, and cultivating around it was twice the result with half the effort. In the end, I simply let it sink to the bottom of the river, and I cultivated around it, and in just a hundred years, I was promoted from the hundredth to the sixth among the one hundred and eight river gods. Today, I was still cultivating next to it as usual, but when you arrived, the breath of life and elemental breath around it all disappeared, and a shockwave directly shook me away, and then it cut through the bottom of the river and rushed to the surface of the water, sucking your granddaughter into the bead, and then disappeared. ”
Nameless didn't seem to buy the dragon's explanation, but Nameless knew very well that what the dragon said was true—after all, it was impossible for anyone to lie in front of him. But his baby granddaughter disappeared in front of him for no reason, and no matter what he said in his heart, it was not a taste, and he had to vent it before he stopped.
I saw a sword light flash from the air, cutting a hole in the river, and a behemoth like a snake and insect surfaced, its body was cut into countless pieces, and the green blood dyed the red river water yellowish, and quickly turned red.
Looking at the dead water monster that couldn't die anymore, the dragon really pinched a cold sweat - if he was hit by this sword qi, he would have ended up the same.
Nameless put away his sword and said to the dragon, "From today onwards, every day I will kill a ninth-order water monster in your river section until my precious granddaughter appears or finally kills you." With that, Nameless walked to the shore, closed his eyes, and sat down.
Hearing Nameless's words, the Jiaolong was even more apprehensive in his heart, he didn't doubt what the peerless master in front of him said, and he didn't even have the idea of resisting in his heart, so he could only smile and say: "Senior, don't worry, your granddaughter will definitely be fine." ”
Nameless opened his eyes and looked at the dragon, the dragon was stunned instantly, his body trembled uncontrollably, like a piece of paper in the cold wind, falling into the cage of nameless sight, only fear was entangled, only endless echoes in his ears, and he felt his sight gradually pulled away, farther away, farther away......
Suddenly, the dragon came back to his senses and found that he had already been soaked in sweat, and he had already turned his back to him. Frightened, the Jiaolong took a deep breath and plucked up his courage and said: "Junior, Jiaoliu, dare to ask the senior's name." ”
Nameless glanced at Jiaoliu and said, "Name, nameless." ”
Jiaoliu was surprised: "Oh! It turned out to be you!"
