Chapter 355: Bones at the bottom of the river
Zhao Lin clenched his teeth, holding the iron ruler in one hand and covering the injury with the other, gasping in pain with every step.
Blood gushed out, and a few ribs were broken, if it wasn't for the inner armor, I'm afraid I would have to fight against it.
Hearing rustling footsteps behind him, Zhao Lin pinched out the magic trick in his hand, preparing to use the trapping technique to stop the other party.
But just as the spell was about to take shape, the spell was withdrawn again.
The spiritual power in the body is limited, and you must be careful to save a little bit.
What's more critical is that the spirit of the pipa catfish that had been devoured played a role, and the white mist gathered in the wound, and the bleeding quickly stopped, and the wound healed quickly.
Tao Huang drove the flying hammer and was about to rise above Zhao Lin's head to attack, but suddenly found a problem: Zhao Lin was no longer bleeding, and his slightly arched waist was straightened.
And the faster you run, the faster you go, just like nobody.
"Impossible!"
Tao Huang opened his mouth wide, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
He clearly saw the flying hammer beating Zhao Lin to a serious injury just now, blood splattered, and if he didn't die, he would lose half his life, why did he jump alive in a blink of an eye?
He used his magic technique with all his might, but he was actually pulled farther and farther away by Zhao Lin, gradually moving away from the attack range of the spell.
Syllable!
There was a crisp sound in the sky.
The old man who built the foundation cast the spirit cage technique and trapped the Hongyan Fu to death.
As the cyan pillar of light continued to shrink, the cage became smaller and smaller, and the Wild Goose Fu had nowhere to hide, and was hit from the side by the fan-shaped magic weapon.
The runes on the Hongyan Talisman were crumbling, and the aura on them was much dimmed.
Seeing that he was about to succeed, the old man finally had time to take a distracted look down, but the result he saw made him furious.
"Rubbish! Stop him! ”
The river is surging, and the wide and rushing Feituo River appears in front of you.
As soon as Zhao Lin breathed a sigh of relief, he heard the roar of the old man who built the foundation, snorted, used the water control technique, and jumped into the water......
"Do you think you'll be able to escape when you're in the water?"
After more than ten breaths, Tao Huang chased to the shore, sneered and slapped a talisman, and a water-shaped circulation appeared around his body.
Sanshan County is close to the Feituo River, and as long as the monks in the county have the water spirit root, almost all of them have practiced water magic, and water resistance is a compulsory course.
However, although Tao Huang can also resist water, he has only cultivated to the first level of Xiaocheng, so he carries a high-grade water resistance talisman with him, which is equivalent to a proficient level.
In his mind, Zhao Lin had cast two proficient-level spells, and it was impossible for him to have the same attainments in the water control technique.
But after entering the water, Tao Huang realized that he was wrong.
Zhao Lin's speed in the water was on par with his own, which meant that he had also cultivated the Water Resistance Technique to the level of proficiency!
How is this possible?
With a mere third-level Qi refining cultivator, how could there be so many proficient-level spells?
He refined the eighth layer of qi by himself, and he only mastered two proficient-level spells, one attack and one defense.
After chasing for a while, the distance between the two not only did not get closer, but tended to get farther and farther away.
The reason is that when encountering the turn of the river, Tao Huang was worried that Zhao Lin would ambush him around the corner, so he could only slow down and make a big circle.
watched Zhao Lin gradually disappear from sight, but there was nothing he could do.
Zhao Lin did have the intention of ambushing Tao Huang, but considering that Li Yuanlie had learned from the past, the other party must be very careful, and it is unlikely that he will succeed.
Moreover, the old man who built the foundation was about to free his hands, and if he stayed for a moment longer, it would be more dangerous.
Wow......
The water-shaped circulation around Tao Huang's body disappeared, and the river surged over, and strings of bubbles rose upward.
This is the difference between a rune and a spell, the water resistance cast by the rune can only last for a quarter of an hour at most, and when the time comes, the rune loses its effectiveness.
Tao Huang touched the lock bag and found that there was no second water charm, and his heart sank, so he could only perform the water control technique and follow far behind.
Every twenty breaths or so, he will shoot an aura towards the water, and if my grandfather rushes over, he will be able to find himself immediately.
Zhao Lin noticed that the pursuers behind him slowed down, but he didn't dare to relax at all, and still tried his best to drive the water control technique.
Take out a spiritual stone and stick it on your abdomen, slowly absorbing the spiritual energy, although the speed of replenishing the spiritual energy is far less than the consumption, but it is not without a small supplement.
Bang!
A five-colored light lit up in the sky, and the Hongyan Fu was finally hit solidly by the fan-shaped magic weapon and turned into countless fragments.
The old man who built the foundation put away the magic weapon, swept to the river, looked at the empty river, and kept chasing in the direction of Zhao Lin's escape.
Two hours passed......
Zhao Lin felt that his spiritual power was empty, and he gradually couldn't maintain the water resistance technique.
But he did not dare to rise on the river, the crisis has not yet been resolved, and it is even the most dangerous moment.
The three of them must be searching for each other with all their might, and they have no Hongyan Talisman on their bodies, and if they meet again, the opponent will definitely have no scruples.
The pressure on the foundation building monks is just too great.
Thundered......
A huge ship sailed over the river.
Zhao Lin's heart moved, and he wanted to swim over and grab the bottom of the boat and take a boat with a tailwind.
But before I could get closer, I realized that it was not feasible at all.
The water-dividing magic array engraved on the bottom of the boat cleaves the waves, setting off huge eddies one after another, forming countless swirling water blades.
Not to mention getting close, even from a distance of dozens of zhang, you can feel the powerful water mana.
Zhao Lin saw with his own eyes that a big fish was swept into the vortex, and it was instantly stirred into a ball of minced meat by the water blade.
The spiritual power was exhausted and he couldn't go ashore, so Zhao Lin decided to stay underwater.
Even if you don't use spells, with the martial artist's ability to hold your breath, you can go without breathing for a few hours.
The water surface of the Feituo River is wide and the water is also extremely deep, Zhao Lin has been diving for dozens of zhang, until his whole body is squeezed by the water, and the muscles tightly wrap the bones before stopping.
In order to fight against buoyancy, Zhao Lin leaned on a large stone and pressed his body against it.
At this moment, a black shadow swept low above the river!
The river was turbid, and Zhao Lin couldn't see the figure on it clearly, but the ultrasound was unimpeded, and the movement trajectory of the figure was accurately located.
"Monk Tsuki!"
Zhao Lin's heart froze, and he immediately remained motionless.
The person on the water was the old man who built the foundation, and the detection distance of his divine sense entering the water was greatly shortened, and in order to find Zhao Lin, he flew close to the surface of the river, constantly scanning the water with his divine sense.
Another hour passed......
Zhao Lin took out the spirit stone and began to exercise to recover his spiritual power.
In order to avoid the outside world from detecting the movement, he deliberately restrained his breath and performed his work very slowly.
As the aura entered the body, the heart gradually settled down.
Zhao Lin began to think about the reason why Li Tao and the two families ambushed him.
The reasons for killing are nothing more than revenge, seeking money, punishment and several other reasons.
But I don't know these two families, and I don't have any treasures worth getting my hands on, and the only reason I can think of is related to this report.
Is it to extinguish the mouth and prevent the deeds of Li Yuanyou from becoming a yin ghost from spreading?
It's just that this reason is really not sufficient, if you want to keep it secret, can you just let me know?
Zhao Lin probably guessed the reason for the incident, but he was still puzzled.
"Whatever the reason, sooner or later, this account will have to be settled. The Li family and the Tao family in Sanshan County, I remembered! ”
……
Time passed little by little.
It was getting dark, and it was pitch black.
Zhao Lin looked inwardly at the spiritual diagram in his mind and found that a new spell appeared in the eighth grid: the Thunder Blade Technique.
There is a four-petaled plum blossom next to the Thunderblade.
"Mastery-level spells?"
Zhao Lin was secretly surprised, this spell broke through his rock armor with one move, he thought it was a Dacheng-level spell, but he didn't expect it to be proficient-level.
The power of the Thunder Blade Technique is so strong, and he doesn't have a suitable Thunder Technique, which can just be used as the next spell to practice.
While thinking about it, Zhao Lin felt tightness in his chest and numbness in his limbs, knowing that this was caused by lack of oxygen, and he had to replenish air as soon as possible.
But it can't surface at this time, who knows if there is anyone watching above, especially now that it's night, it's the dead of night, and it's easier to be exposed.
Zhao Lin quickly came up with a way to use the water resistance technique with his hand.
Controls the size of the spell to create only a small watery circulation around the body.
The circulation turns faster and faster, and soon squeezes the air out of the water and turns it into a bubble.
Zhao Lin took a few big sips, felt a burst of relief, and unexpectedly found that his body was no longer painful.
Reaching out and touching his left rib, he found that the wound had fully recovered.
Most of his spiritual power had recovered, and Zhao Lin decided to continue on his journey, as far away from Sanshan County as possible.
After sneaking for a while, he suddenly noticed something shining under the water.
"Huh?"
Zhao Lin was curious, worried that the bright light was the eyes of demon beasts, or trapping organs like monkfish, so he released ultrasonic waves to probe it, and made sure that it was not a living thing, so he carefully swam over.
When I got closer, I found that it was a corpse.
The corpse looked to be some years old, and the flesh had completely corroded and dissolved, leaving only a skeleton, and it was impossible to see its original face.
He wears a pendant around his neck that glows pale green.
"Female."
The reason why Zhao Lin judged this way was because the crotch bone of the deceased was significantly wider than the shoulder bone, and the proportions of male and female bodies were different, which was especially obvious.
And men rarely wear pendants either.
After a moment's thought, he took out the leather glove strap from the lock bag and picked up a leg bone.
"Monk Tsuki?"
Zhao Lin's heart moved, ordinary corpses would decompose into pieces after a few years underwater, but the skin and flesh and clothes of this corpse were not left, but the bones were so well preserved.
When you hold it in your hand, you can feel that the bones are very hard.
When a monk breaks through from the Qi Refining Realm to the Foundation Building Realm, he has to go through a rebirth, and his bones are as strong as gold and stone, so he can maintain them for a longer time after death.
At this moment, the devotional map flashed in his mind, and it seemed that the skeleton was very interested.
"Sure enough, it's a foundation monk!"
Zhao Lin felt a pound in his heart, the spiritual cultivation diagram could use the bones to deduce the deceased's spells before his death, since this person was a foundation building monk, he must have a few spells that could be used.
"Offended!"
Zhao Lin saluted the bones, put the bones into the lock bag one by one, and did not let go of any of them.
The more complete the bones are, the more spells the devotional map can trace.
The pendant is just an ordinary jade, without the slightest aura, and it is also put away.
"I don't know where I swam to?"
Zhao Lin glanced up, then continued to sneak at the bottom of the river, making up his mind that he would never go ashore until he was sure it was safe.
The enemy is definitely still looking for him, and even if he encounters someone else, it is not guaranteed to be a good thing.
Most of the destinations on the Feituo River are prefectures, counties and cities.
As long as you follow these ships, you will definitely reach the safe place of human traffic.
……
"What did you say, the man ran away?"
Li Chenglin thought that he had misheard, and questioned Tao Huang and Li Yuanzhi who were standing in front of the hall in disbelief.
In order to hunt down Zhao Lin, the two families dispatched one foundation building monk and three late-stage qi refining monks.
Such a lineup can't kill a small third-level Qi refining cultivator, and it makes people laugh out of their big teeth when they say it.
"Did someone pass by and it was inconvenient to do it, so they accidentally let him run?"
Li Chenglin thought about it for a long time, and could only think of this reason.
"No outsiders ......"
Tao Huang's face was full of shame, and he replied with his head down.
After saying that, he remembered something, and quickly added: "But I injured him." ”
"Then he has a high-level treasure on him?"
"Nope."
"Wearing the inner armor that King Kong is not broken?"
"Not either."
Li Chenglin's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where is your grandfather?" ”
Tao Huang hurriedly said: "Grandpa was entangled by the Hongyan Fu and couldn't spare his hand, and now he is searching along the river." ”
Li Chenglin frowned and looked at Li Yuanzhi.
"What do you say? By the way, why didn't Won Yeol come back? ”
"Yuan Lie, he ...... He's dead! ”
Li Yuanzhi said with difficulty, his eyes turned red all of a sudden.
"Dead?"
Li Chenglin's face turned pale, then turned red, and shouted, "What happened? Could it be that he has three heads and six arms! ”
"Senior Uncle, although this person has only cultivated to the third level of qi refining, he has mastered three proficient-level spells at the same time."
Tao Huang took a deep breath and said quickly: "Trapping Technique, Rock Armor Technique, Water Resistance Technique, and a Hidden Talisman." And the body technique is extremely fast, and we can't catch up with the magic technique. ”
Li Yuanzhi also nodded and said, "That's right, Yuan Lie was killed by him by sneak attack after he strayed into the black fog of the Concealment Technique." ”
The two of you say a word, I say a word, and repeat the whole process.
"That's not right! Even if he unleashed the Concealment Technique, Yuan Lie shouldn't be defenseless, how could he be fatal with one blow? ”
Although Li Chenglin was angry, his mind was still calm and he immediately pointed out the problem.
"My cousin rushed into the black mist and died in less than two breaths, with five finger holes on the top of his head."
"Yes, it's not a spell, it's a martial art."
The two replied one after another.
"Wu Xiu is so powerful?"
Li Chenglin's face became more and more gloomy, as if he was about to drip water.
It's just that he didn't kill Zhao Lin, but he actually killed a nephew, how can this be explained?
Also, Zhao Lin's cultivation is only at the third level of qi refining, and he has actually mastered three proficient-level spells, and if he has a big enmity with such a character, it will definitely become a big disaster in the future!
"No, send someone to search for it. Even if you turn the Feituo River upside down, you have to find him out! ”
Li Chenglin Huodi stood up from his chair and said sharply: "Yuan Zhi, you now notify Zhenyuan Tang to send five speedboats to inspect the river, and then lead two teams of people to search along the two banks." ”
After speaking, he looked at Tao Huang again, "Nephew Tao Xian, this matter started because of you, don't stay out of it." Doesn't your Tao family have a guest who is good at tracking? Let him help too. ”
"Yes!"
Li Yuanzhi and Tao Huang responded in unison.
