Just when Ye Chen was thinking wildly, the old man's inquiring gaze swept over and said, "If there is nothing to do, can you go to the Nine Curves and Eighteen Bends to find the lost ship now, the old granddaughter is still on it, it has been half a month, although there is enough food on it, but it is inevitable that accidents will happen." ”

Qu Ming stood up, "Grandpa, don't worry, this matter has been contracted to me, I will definitely bring Xinying back." ”

"Since there are people on the boat, without further ado, let's set off immediately!" Ye Chen also stood up.

The old man nodded, "The old man will go with you, the ironwood ship is ready." ”

The northwest coast of Panshan Island.

A fifteen-meter-long and three-meter-wide black wooden ship was docked there, its surface radiating a faint sheen, similar to metal.

Ye Chen knew that this was an ironwood ship, made of ironwood comparable to metal, needless to say, it was hard enough to withstand the full force of a Qi Realm martial artist without damage, and its flexibility was also very strong, and it could shuttle quickly in the big waves, without worrying about the hull breaking.

"Head of the house!"

Twelve Qu family martial artists who practiced the ninth layer of the Qi Realm lined up in a row and said in unison.

The old man waved his hand, "Qu Ming, you all know each other, this is Ye Chen, a disciple of the Inner Sect of the Liuyun Sect, who will go with us to the Nine Curves and Eighteen Bends to rescue Xin Ying." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to Ye Chen and Qu Ming and said, "Their strength is not as good as that of the two of you, but they are very water-based, and they can hold their breath underwater for a quarter of an hour." ”

Ye Chen was a little surprised, with his current cultivation, it was not difficult to hold his breath underwater for a quarter of an hour, but these twelve people were only cultivating the ninth layer of the Qi Realm.

......

The closer it got to the nine bends and eighteen bends, the more rapid the current became, and waves of tide hit the side of the ironwood boat endlessly, making a loud crackling sound, thrilling.

in the cabin.

The old man said: "The water flow of the nine-bend eighteen bends is complex, the whirlpools are innumerable, it is impossible to pass without exquisite rowing skills, if nothing else, the old granddaughter should be trapped in the first half of the nine-bend eighteen bends, where there is a small mountain, the mountain and the lake form a flat beach, for the boat to dock, and what you have to do is very simple, kill any demon beast that comes close, so that the boat will not be washed off the track." ”

Ye Chen said: "It's so simple, I can use light skills to fly directly over, and I can soon find the lost ship and your granddaughter." ”

The old man shook his head, "The real horror of the nine bends and eighteen bends is not the water potential and demon beasts, but the thick fog, if you enter it alone, it is easy to get lost, and you will not be able to get out for the rest of your life, only according to the changes in the water flow can you find a way out." ”

"I see!" Ye Chen nodded thoughtfully, Panshan Island and Gushui Lake can't be treated with common sense, it's too weird.

Crunch!

Suddenly, the ironwood boat shook violently, as if it had been hit by something.

Kicking and kicking, a Qu family martial artist rushed in, "Family master, three demon birds are approaching." ”

The old man nodded, "Give it to the two of them." ”

Ye Chen and Qu Ming glanced at each other and walked out of the cabin together.

On the deck, Ye Chen looked up, and three huge strange birds flew in the air, the wings of the strange birds were spread out for five meters, and there was a pair of sharp claws in the upper half of the wings.

"Point the stars, the Big Dipper!"

Qu Ming's right hand raised two fingers, the end of the fingertips glazed brilliance loomed, and the void clicked seven times, depicting the pattern of the Big Dipper.

Poof, poof, poof......

Without any suspense, the three demon birds were shrouded in the fingers that combined into the Big Dipper, and several blood holes appeared on their bodies, and they plunged into the lake.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Good fingering!"

"It's just a small skill for carving insects. Qu Ming stopped.

At this moment, a martial artist of the Qu family said loudly: "Nine bends and eighteen bends have arrived, everyone hold on to the fixed object, so as not to be thrown off the deck." ”

The words fell and blinked three times, the hull shook violently, and there was a tendency to capsize, and the other Qu family warriors had already prepared, clutching on what they could hold, only Ye Chen and Qu Ming were indifferent, their feet firmly stepped on the deck, and no matter how violently the ship shook, it was difficult to shake their bodies.

Qu Ming's body is very agile, and his balance is also very good, he seems to be immobile, but in fact, his body secretly makes slight changes in the direction of the hull rocking, and he can always follow the trend and be relaxed and freehand.

However, when he looked at Ye Chen, his eyes couldn't help narrowing.

Ye Chen stood with his hands on his hands, as if there were roots under his feet, swaying with the shaking of the hull, like a part of the hull, there was no possibility of throwing it out. ,

"What a clever light skill. Qu Ming's eyesight was so powerful, he immediately saw that Ye Chen's attainments in light skills were very high, and his use of true qi far exceeded that of ordinary martial artists.

Ye Chen smiled faintly, and was about to speak, when he suddenly frowned and said, "There are demon beasts sneaking under the water." ”

As soon as his body was long, Ye Chen's body landed on the fence next to the boat, and he blasted down with a punch with a shining blue light.

Roar!

The tiger roared into the sky, and the blue air dragon swooped down and burrowed into the water.

The next moment!

The huge corpse of the demon beast floated up, and there was an extra blood hole the size of a bathtub in the chest and abdomen, and blood was gurgling.

Qu Ming glanced at the corpse of the demon beast and said in surprise: "The Water Shadow Beast is good at hiding the demon qi and is proficient in stealth, how did you notice it?" If it weren't for Ye Chen's discovery, Qu Ming thought that it would be impossible to kill the Water Shadow Beast in advance, and only when the other party launched an attack and the demonic energy was exposed, he would not notice, and at that time, even if the ironwood ship was unscathed, it would definitely be crooked off the course, and it would take a lot of effort to get back to the normal route, which would undoubtedly waste a lot of time.

Ye Chen naturally didn't say that his soul power was strong and he could freely probe any objects around him, so he casually made up a reason and said: "Although the Water Shadow Beast is proficient in stealth and has a restrained demonic aura, no matter how dexterous its huge body is, it is difficult to sneak over silently, and it will inevitably change the water flow slightly. ”

Qu Ming nodded secretly, the other party said well, the bigger the body, the greater the resistance in the water, but the other party's perception is too strong, and even the subtle changes in the water flow can be clear, which has to be admired.

As it gradually deepens into the nine bends and eighteen bends, the frequency of the hull shaking is getting faster and faster, sometimes it is obviously shaking to the left, but it suddenly jumps, sometimes it is obviously stable and waveless, and the whirlpool under the water sucks the hull to make it difficult to move an inch, from fast to instantaneous static, almost making the hearts of ordinary people jump out.

Finally, the ironwood boat came to the half-submerged mountain peak without danger.

On the beach, a large ship was docked, and in the thick fog it seemed as if it were nothing, dead silent.

Before the ship approached, Qu Ming and Ye Chen flew over a little deck under their feet like two big birds, and the speed was incredible.

Smack!

The two of them stood on the deck of the lost ship, feeling that the atmosphere had changed.

"Xinying! are you there?" Qu Ming said.

Whew!

No sound came out except the lake breeze.

Afraid of missing something, the two pushed open the hatch and walked in.

After a few moments, the two walked out again.

Ye Chen looked up at the mountain peak and said to Qu Ming, "Maybe they took refuge on the mountain peak." ”

Qu Ming nodded, "There is only this possibility, wait for the grandfather first." ”
