Chapter 45: Desperate Situation
Ye Qingcheng stuffed the letterhead he took out of the treasure chest into his arms, and stared at the empty front with extreme caution.
On the top of the cliff, the slightly cold sea breeze was blowing, and the strange footprints walked towards Ye Qingcheng calmly.
"Who?" Ye Qingcheng shouted.
The invisible man ahead didn't answer him. However, he suddenly felt an awe-inspiring murderous aura attack.
The strange footprint stayed five paces in front of him, and then leaped to its feet, stirring up a swirling circle of dust and smoke.
"Bang!!"
In an instant, a circle of strong wind that was hit by a fist appeared in front of Ye Qingcheng, and an invisible fist carried a ferocious killing intent and attacked directly.
A glint of essence swept through Ye Qingcheng's eyes, he clenched his fists, and slammed his fist out without hesitation.
"Tom!!" two fists, one clenched like a hammer, the other invisible, only a whistling fist.
However, after the blow, Ye Qingcheng was invincible, and his body was hit by the invisible fist and then retreated, and he crashed into the dead tree on the edge of the cliff behind him.
The huge force of the "click!! broke the withered tree that had been weathered for a long time, and then fell down with a clatter. Ye Qingcheng stood on the edge of the cliff in horror, only half a step away, and he would fall to the bottom of the cliff a hundred zhang deep.
"Who the hell are you?!" Ye Qingcheng said angrily. A blow made Ye Qingcheng realize that the strange guy in front of him must be a martial arts cultivator.
However, he was still responded to by silent attacks.
I saw that the invisible figure jumped up again, and in the bright sunlight, he showed a transparent posture of leaping fist attack.
At the critical moment, Ye Qingcheng stretched out his left hand to suppress the wrist of his right fist, and shouted: "Third stage of Shenglong-"
However, the strange attacker didn't give him that little time to stimulate the ascending dragon vein.
After the transparent figure jumped up, it immediately rammed its fist down.
Ye Qingcheng had no choice but to give up, and spread his hands together, trying to resist this fierce blow.
At this critical moment, what Ye Qingcheng never expected was that the transparent fist that was about to hit disappeared for no reason. Then, between the lightning and flint, a black, sharp dagger was thrown out.
The blood of the "snort" !! instantly flew out, showing a bewitching scarlet in the sun.
The black dagger immediately pierced Ye Qingcheng's palms, pinning his hands together.
"Bang!!" The invisible feet landed in front of Ye Qingcheng, and he stepped into a circle of smoke and dust.
There was no dialogue, and there was no room for negotiation, and the strange invisible person immediately grabbed the handle of the black dagger and pulled it out violently.
Blood rushed out of Ye Qingcheng's hands again, and at the same time, the invisible man suddenly raised his foot and kicked Ye Qingcheng heavily in the abdomen.
"Ah!!" The pain in the palm of his hand and the anger of being attacked turned into a roar that roared out of Ye Qingcheng's mouth. However, in this very short period of time, he could not resist, and his body was kicked violently, and he fell to the bottom of the cliff in disarray.
However, just as he fell, a rope flew up from the bottom of the cliff, pinpointing around the roots of the dead tree on the edge of the cliff.
At this time, the invisible sneak attacker finally showed his true face.
At the north end of the cliff, Ye Qingcheng grabbed the rope with both hands, and blood kept flowing out of the wound in his hand, turning the rope red. He glared upward. Suddenly, a tongue sticks out, and an ancient charm sticks to it. When the spell was removed, the young prince, Yu Shui, revealed his sinister face.
"Sure enough, it's you!" Ye Qingcheng said angrily.
Yu Shui looked down at Ye Qingcheng, Sen smiled coldly, and said, "Although, I don't know why the imperial brother wants to kill you." But if he wants you to die, you will never live!"
As he spoke, Yu Shui took out a brass bottle from his bosom, and then poured the cyan fire oil from the bottle onto the rope. The extremely flammable fire oil, like a poisonous snake, spread quietly down the rope.
Then, Yu Shui used the dagger in his hand to lightly swipe on the rock, and a string of sparks splashed onto the rope. The rope stained with fire oil immediately burned into a fiery snake, moving rapidly in the direction.
"Yu Shui!" Ye Qingcheng shouted angrily: "Don't you know that you can't fight in beast worship?!"
Yu Shui hid the dagger in his sleeve, looked up at the vast sea, and said with a cruel smile: "Kill you here, who knows?"
The terrifying flames had already burned on Ye Qingcheng's hands. However, even in the face of the pain of burning, he still could not let go, and below was a cliff of 100 zhang, once he fell, he would be burned to pieces.
However, he could not let go, but the rope could not withstand burning.
"Smack!" On the ground, the sound of the rope breaking came, Ye Qingcheng's body fell down immediately, he stared at Yu Shui with a cold appearance, and roared angrily: "As long as Lao Tzu doesn't die, I will accompany you Yu Shi to the end!!"
At the same time as falling at a rapid speed, a fluttering wave hit the reef below the cliff, stirring up a majestic wave of water, which instantly swallowed Ye Qingcheng's figure.
In the slightly cold sea breeze, Ye Qingcheng's roar echoed repeatedly.
Yu Shui coldly glanced at the small apprentice figure that was rushing in the distance, stretched out his tongue and pasted the ancient talisman on it, and the figure disappeared out of thin air.
............
Time flies, and the sun in the west slides silently, and finally submerges on the sea level in the west, leaving a gorgeous sunset.
Dusk came, and there was silence on the island except for the nineteen empty treasure chests.
By this time, the tide had risen and was gradually submerging a row of old wooden piles on the sea. The sea, which had always been calm, began to become restless, and silver-white fins glided in the water.
The Broken Gold herd began to come out to feed.
At this time, on the north wall of the cliff, a wolf bèi figure appeared.
Ye Qingcheng, who was wearing a soaked battle robe, had a piece of blood condensed on his hands, and he was climbing the cliff with difficulty. As the tide continues to rise, so do the monsters in the sea. If he didn't want to die, he had to climb to the top of the cliff.
On the back of his head, his short black hair was stained with clotted blood. Every time he climbed hard, blood splattered from his hands.
Climb all the way, leaving a difficult trail of blood.
At this time, his mind was in a trance and his expression was confused, but his eyes still flashed with stubbornness. Before, fortunately, he had the physique of a great martial artist, and fortunately, under the fall, a wave of water was stirred up under the cliff, so that he avoided direct collision with the reef, and luckily picked up a life.
At this time, his heart was burning with rage, but he had nowhere to vent it, so he could only find a way to save his life first.
It wasn't until dusk was coming to an end, and evening came, that he climbed to the top of the cliff exhausted.
His face was pale, and his body grew colder as the blood drained. He staggered to the top of the cliff and looked south. In the distance, there were five apprentices in the water, and they could only swim back because the stakes were submerged in the water. As for the shore thirty miles away, he could only see the vague, winding outline of the reef shore, and he did not see the figure standing on the shore at all.
"Ah!!h
Suddenly, an ethereal scream came.
Ye Qingcheng immediately looked at the five apprentices, only to see that one of them had turned into a headless corpse, and those ferocious large-mouthed monster fish, the Broken Gold Beast, were wantonly eating the corpse.
This assessment is simple and simple, as long as you return within a certain period of time, you will be fine. However, once you fail, there is only one end: death.
One of the apprentice animal trainers was killed, and the rest of them panicked.
Ye Qingcheng couldn't bear to see that bloody scene. He closed his eyes gently, and after about three breaths, when he opened them again, there were only a few patches of scarlet blood on the surface of the sea, and rows of sculpting fins, and nothing else.
The last five Great Martial Artist level apprentices died so much that they didn't even have a piece of clothing left.
"There's no going back. Ye Qingcheng muttered to himself. Then, he walked to the dead tree on the edge of the cliff and broke its roots, leaned on the roots, closed his eyes tiredly, and said, "I can only hold on until tomorrow morning, and then find a way to go back." ”
Now, what he is thinking about is not whether he can pass the guò assessment, but whether he can live.
In the gentle sea breeze and the sound of the waves, he squinted for half an hour. When he opened his eyes, the dusk was gone, and the evening came.
The rising sea has submerged the cliffs of the Great Peninsula, and its height is less than 30 zhang.
Suddenly, he heard a series of rattling noises coming from behind him, as if something strange was climbing the cliff.
He jerked to his feet and walked to the edge of the cliff to look down.
In an instant, his scalp was numb!
Nearly eight feet long, the Broken Gold Beast, a large-mouthed monster fish, shimmered with white scales. Their mouths are extremely large, full of sharp fangs, and have an ugly pig's nose, which at first glance look like fierce and ferocious deep-sea demons.
What's even more terrifying is that they are crawling on the cliff wall along the blood stains left by Ye Qingcheng before, following the smell of blood, crawling on the cliff wall with their double fins, slowly climbing up, and there are more than a hundred of them.
Ye Qingcheng looked at their pair of miserable white fish eyes, and a burst of cool air echoed in his heart.
After taking a deep breath, he said angrily: "It just so happens that Lao Tzu is short of food, let's come on!"
However, in the blink of an eye, he thought: What if all the islands and cliffs were crawling with such terrifying sea monsters?
