Chapter 381: River
Under the hazy moonlight, Yangshan Town was quiet, and only in some special places did the sound continue.
On the wall of the prison in the backyard of the security team, Li Zhengyi stood on it, and after just inhaling lightly, he quietly jumped off the wall.
Immediately below the wall, the river is more rapid, and it is more than a zhang wide in this place.
Originally, it would have been easier and safer to jump directly from the top of the fence to the opposite shore.
But in that case, the force under the foot should leave a more obvious trace.
In order to buy more time, Li Zhengyi jumped off the wall first, stepped on the river embankment, and then jumped over.
The distance of more than one zhang, coupled with the fact that the river embankment is a little uneven, is also a little difficult for Li Zhengyi.
After all, the embankment under his feet is less than a meter wide, and there is no extra distance for him to run.
But the arrow is on the bow and has to be sent. What's more, Li Zhengyi is still very confident in his ability.
I saw that his legs were slightly bent, and the muscles of his lower body were raised high.
Then he jumped towards the opposite bank with a fierce force, like a heavy cannonball, and rushed straight over.
Even if the time is only in a blink of an eye, when he is in mid-air, Li Zhengyi is very confident that it should be more than enough for him to jump over.
But suddenly, there was an unexpected change.
When he was only a third of the way to the other side, Li Zhengyi suddenly felt a chill in his ankles.
It was obvious that it was not a splash, there was a cold feeling, and his face couldn't help but change.
Then immediately there was a force from the ankle that looked like a pull, and it looked like it was about to be pulled from mid-air into the turbulent water.
At this extremely critical moment, Li Zhengyi waved the golden sword in his hand under the conditioned reflex and slashed downward.
"Wow..."
It was as if a shrill howl was heard, and then the pull on his ankle disappeared immediately.
But at this time, the inertia of the forward forward was no longer enough to support him to rush to the opposite bank.
In a hurry, his body relied on the common reaction force of his swing, coupled with a powerful core explosive power.
The body writhed in the air and threw himself across the river.
More precisely, he was thrown into the shallows on the bank of the river, and his body was slammed into the shallow water mixed with silt and stones.
But he barely stopped, and jumped like a spring on the shore path again.
For the sake of safety, Li Zhengyi didn't care about the muddy water on his body, and retreated a foot back again, and stopped after a long distance.
"Whew..."
Even he didn't go through, and he was scared out of a cold sweat by what happened just now.
If he was dragged into the turbulent water, he didn't dare to think about the consequences.
He touched the ankle of his left foot with his hand, and now he has a cold feeling, which slowly disappeared under the offset of his hot blood.
He also had some fears about what happened just now.
After all, if he was pulled into this turbulent river by that thing, even if he had all the abilities, it would be difficult to use it.
"Coco?"
Ten thousand of the little ones came out of his collar and asked him curiously what had happened.
Li Zhengyi didn't speak, he looked at the river that jumped over just now, and felt that there was still a pair of resentful and cold eyes staring at him inside.
He knew some of the sayings about never getting close to the river at night, but it was the first time Li Zhengyi had encountered such a personal feeling.
After reminding himself that this is a dangerous world, and that he must be cautious, he patted the little guy on the head, turned around and walked away quickly.
As the distance from the river became farther and farther away, the cold and vicious gaze seemed to slowly disappear.
At this time, Li Zhengyi had already walked to the mountain forest a little farther away, and stopped to wipe the muddy water on his body with leaves.
He looked left and right, but decided to keep this distance and walk towards the upper reaches of the river.
If you want to get back to the town now, you must cross the river, which is definitely easier upstream than downstream.
It would be even better if you could touch a bridge.
Looking at the sky, it was already late at night, and he guessed that it was likely to be around the third watch.
In such a world full of ghosts and dangers, if you continue to stay, it will become unsafe in this mountain forest.
You have to get back to the more crowded town as soon as possible.
Without further hesitation, he used his great golden sword to cut a man-high wooden staff from the trunk of a nearby tree.
Then with a cane in his left hand and a sword in his right, he hurried in the direction of the left front.
Compared to the flat road, it can be very difficult to travel through the mountains and forests, let alone in the middle of the night.
At this time, the canopy of trees overhead was still luxuriant, and the moonlight could hardly shine through the gaps, making the surrounding environment even darker.
Fortunately, Li Zhengyi's eyesight is stronger than that of ordinary people, and at this time, he will no longer wear the sunglasses because he wants to maintain his image.
And the golden sword in his hand also gave him more security, so he could hold the wooden staff with a deep and shallow cane, and rush forward along the rugged mountain road.
At night, the forest is always filled with all kinds of strange sounds, birds, beasts, and even some small insect chirps, which can make people wary.
Although it is a slow way to travel in the mountains and forests in the middle of the night.
But it didn't take long for Li Zhengyi to see where he came.
And slightly embarrassed, he thought he might well have gotten lost.
I used to think that as long as you kept a certain distance from the river, you wouldn't get lost if you went upstream.
But as he walked, Li Zhengyi noticed that the other side. The silhouette of the building, which used to be visible, has disappeared.
And the distance from the river seems to have deviated. Anyway, in his current position, he couldn't hear the rushing sound of running water.
Nothing could be seen in the darkness around them, only the silhouettes of some bushes.
But it's impossible to stop here and wait until dawn, then maybe someone else will catch up.
So after Li Zhengyi took a breath, he walked forward, but as he walked, he was also adjusting his direction and constantly walking to the right.
As long as the general direction is good, it shouldn't be long before you see the river again.
At that time, he will definitely not be so far away, according to his previous experience, as long as he is a few feet away from the river, there should be no way for him to take the things inside.
At most, it will make him feel a little cold and uncomfortable, but Li Zhengyi's will is strong, and that small influence can still be restrained.
