Chapter 350: Crossing the Lake
Several people looked at Lu Yi, and the middle-aged man responded: "Yes, it seems that you also want to cross the lake, right?"
Lu Yidui smiled: "Big brother, can you take me over by the way?"
The middle-aged man pinched his chin and seemed to hesitate: "It's not impossible to take you over, it's just that my spar boat, every mile I walk, I need to consume a lec, and this journey needs to cost more than a thousand lecart, why do you have to bear a part, right?"
Lu Yi was interested, and immediately took out an amethyst stone from his arms and handed it to the middle-aged man, saying, "Is this enough?"
The value of one amethyst is worth a thousand leitrites, so the consumption of this journey is almost borne by Lu Yi.
Of course, the middle-aged man was very satisfied, and readily agreed.
The men also took a backpack from each of the carts, after which the driver drove away.
So, Lu Yi boarded the boat with a few people.
Two young men sat in the bow of the boat to enjoy the scenery, the middle-aged man sat at the stern of the boat to steer the boat, and Lu Yi sat in the middle of the boat.
Dahan quickly started the boat, seemingly a little anxious.
The boat uses white crystal as the driving energy source, and the speed is not slow, but it is not too fast, and it takes a whole day to run a thousand miles at this speed.
After the boat sailed for a long time, the sky gradually became dark, but the expression of the man in the prime of life was more anxious, and he kept looking forward. After a while, a small island appeared in front of him, and the man in his prime finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The boat docked on the island, and the man in the prime of life ordered everyone to disembark, and dragged the boat ashore away from the lake.
This small island is actually a pile of rocks outcropping from the water, small in size, less than 100 meters in diameter, but much higher above the water, dry and flat, suitable for rest.
A few people lit a bonfire, sat down cross-legged, took out dry food, and nibbled on it.
Everyone didn't speak, and Lu Yi didn't ask much, but sat close by himself to eat and drink.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the originally calm lake surface suddenly changed, and the waves several meters high were turned up for no reason!
Lu Yi immediately understood that if the boat was still on the lake at this time, I was afraid that it would be overturned in an instant!
After eating, a few people rested for a while and began to practice internal skills on the spot.
Lu Yi was curious and scanned them...... The prime man has a strong aura, and he has already stepped into the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm, which is the first stage of the Qi Realm that the martial cultivators here say. The two young people are not bad, they are both in the mature stage of building the foundation realm, and they are only half a step away from the qi realm.
These people can be regarded as masters in the Far East, no wonder they are full of self-confidence, and they are not at all wary of Lu Yi, a strange boy.
Although a few people ignored Lu Yi, it was inconvenient for Lu Yi to return to the Nanming Palace at this time, so he could only sit nearby and meditate alone.
Early the next morning, the lake was calm again, and the man in the prime of life immediately ordered everyone to disembark and set sail.
Several people still ignored Lu Yi, and rarely spoke to each other, and the atmosphere was dull.
Lu Yi was really bored, so he simply leaned on the side of the boat and took a nap.
Before I knew it, the boat had been sailing at full speed for the whole day, and it was getting dark again. Fortunately, the shoreline of the lake in the distance is gradually coming into view.
Lu Yi explored the past with his spirit, only to see that the mountains on the shore of the lake stretched out and blocked, and there was only a valley path in the middle leading to the front.
Needless to say, the boat ended up at the valley trail.
When they came ashore, they carried the boat into the grove by the roadside, and hid it with branches and leaves. Then, several people sat quietly on the ground, eating, drinking and resting.
Seeing this, Lu Yi stepped forward to salute and say goodbye to several people.
The middle-aged man couldn't help but remind: "Kid, don't you want to live anymore? This valley in front of you is the territory of the lake bandits! Although a few of us are not afraid of them, we don't dare to rush through in the dark, so you should stay here for the night, and then walk after us tomorrow morning." ”
The middle-aged man was kind, and Lu Yi was embarrassed to refuse, so he had to thank him and sit down on the side.
A few people sat silently all night, and the next morning they were not in a hurry to leave, took out dry food and water, ate and drank enough, and waited until dawn before setting off.
Lu Yi did not succeed in being a hero, obediently followed behind a few people, and walked into the valley.
As soon as he entered the valley, Lu Yi felt the breath of a large number of rare spirit herbs and elixirs, the key was that these spirit grasses faintly revealed the energy of the divine soul, and they were the best medicinal materials for refining the Gathering Divine Pill!
At the moment of temptation, Lu Yi quietly broke away from the team and ran straight to the direction where the aura of elixir was emitted.
The three people in front were only vigilant ahead, and did not notice Lu Yi's movements.
As the three of them walked, they suddenly heard a scream, and then, in the bushes on both sides of the valley path, dozens of bandits armed with swords rushed out, blocking the front and back roads of the three of them.
The three of them did not panic, drew the long sword on their backs, and made a gesture of responding to the enemy.
The middle-aged man said loudly: "I am a disciple of the Ling Sword Sect, who dares to stop it? Quickly give way! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword!"
As usual, as long as the name of Ling Jianmen is revealed, ordinary bandits and bandits will definitely be scared away, but today it doesn't work.
"Hahaha, Zhang Jianming, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Among the bandits, a broken gong-like voice sounded, and then, a middle-aged man with one eye walked out of the crowd.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then snorted coldly: "It turned out to be a one-eyed beast! What's the matter? Wait for me for a long time? Do you want to become a completely blind beast?"
Zhang Jianming's words aroused the anger of the one-eyed beast, and he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Back then, you stabbed Lao Tzu blindly, and today Lao Tzu wants you to pay back with your life!"
"By you, hehe, who gave you this confidence?" Zhang Jianming responded with a sneer.
"What my master gave him, is it qualified?" Behind the one-eyed beast, Shi Shiran walked out of a tall and strong man of the same age as Zhang Jianming, and looked at Zhang Jianming and the three of them coldly.
The three of them recognized the big man, and their faces suddenly changed...... This big man's name is Huo Daoxiong, he has been famous in Youhu County for a long time, and he has reached the middle stage of the Qi Realm, and he is the sect elder of the Butcher Dao Sect.
"Huo Daoxiong?" Zhang Jianming was horrified in his heart, but he still forced himself to calm down and said, "Elder Huo, why did you collude with these lake bandits?"
Huo Daoxiong put his hands behind his back and said like a monarch in the world: "Why is this master here, you know it, quickly hand over that divine pill, this master can give you a good time." ”
When Zhang Jianming heard this, the whole person was like being struck by lightning, and he reluctantly responded after a while: "I'm just responsible for escorting the two nephews to participate in the election of the county king's son-in-law, and there is no divine pill on my body at all, Elder Huo, have you taken the wrong wind?"
Huo Daoxiong smiled sinisterly and said, "Let you die clearly, my master has planted eyes and ears in your Lingjianmen branch hall...... If you are really asked to send the Divine Pill to the main hall for analysis and imitation, then wouldn't our Butcher Dao Sect have to surrender to you Ling Jian Sect from now on?
So you must die today, and the Divine Pill belongs to me!"
Zhang Jianming was shocked and angry when he heard this, because only he and his apprentice knew about this matter, so it could only mean that this apprentice betrayed him!
"Criminals!" Zhang Jianming gritted his teeth and scolded bitterly, but it was meaningless.
"Okay, Huo Daoxiong, the Divine Pill can be given to you, but I hope you can spare my two nephews. Zhang Jianming was in a desperate mood, knowing that he was going to die, but he just wanted to save the lives of the two young people.
"Impossible, if one of you leaves alive today, will my master still have a way to live?"
