The stream water is non-toxic, with a hint of the unique sweetness of mountain spring water, and the temperature is also very suitable, even if you walk in it, it should only be slightly cool, and there will be no particularly uncomfortable feeling.

Ding Ning slowly raised himself by the stream and wiped the water marks at the corner of his mouth, but he knew that this stream was very dangerous.

Because the stream is too calm.

Even if it is a clean mountain stream, as long as there is no problem with the water quality, even if there are no big fish, there will be some small fish and shrimp, and some insects.

Yet there was nothing in the stream.

Aside from the ordinary cyan aquatic plants at the bottom of the water, there seems to be no other living creature in this stream at all.

But after thinking silently for a few breaths, Ding Ning still stepped into the stream in front of him and began to wade.

"I thought he was different from these people, but I didn't think he was so reckless. ”

Seeing that Ding Ning made the same choice, Jing Liuli shook her head with some disappointment, and said in a slightly cold voice.

The blue-robed man behind her also shook his head and said, "I don't think the same as you. ”

Jing Liuli frowned slightly: "What do you think differently?" ”

The blue-robed man with sword intent flowing all over his body looked at her and said: "All the links in front of him have to compete for the first place, so he naturally has to grab the first place in this level, Ye Haoran and the others will enter here immediately, so he should not take this waterway because of recklessness, but to save time." ”

Jing Liuli's eyes flickered violently, then she nodded and said, "I think what you said is right, it's just that it's too conceited." ”

"Being too conceited can sometimes be equated with stupidity. After a pause, she added another.

Hearing her words, the man in the green robe smiled slightly, thinking to himself that there is no real genius in this world who is not extremely conceited, and you are not the same?

......

The sun is still shining, and when the skin is accustomed to the temperature of the stream, the gentle flow of water has a certain analgesic effect.

Xie Changsheng's attention has been focused on the crimson thorn bushes on both sides of the stream, the water in this stream is not too deep, it is only knee-deep on both sides of the thorn bushes, but walking in it is undoubtedly a little shorter than the thorn bushes on both sides, and the sight is even more obstructed, and it is even more impossible to see the situation in the distance.

This means that if there is any change, it must be found in the vicinity.

"If there's something arranged, can't we make it appear sooner? Isn't it interesting to look at us like this?"

"If you think it's funny, you're a pervert. ”

Xie Changsheng still let out some curses from time to time.

Compared to other practitioners, he had little patience, and the most important thing now was that he was extremely tired.

Even with the analgesic effect of the gentle flow of water, the stabbing wounds still fell with each step, sending waves of intense pain into his mind.

This constant and severe pain can cause more physical and mental exertion.

In the past, he had to walk for at least five or six hours before he felt unusually tired, but now, this feeling of extreme exhaustion came at least three hours earlier.

Under extreme exhaustion, a person's concentration will unconsciously decrease.

In particular, his attention was mostly on the thorn bushes on either side, so he didn't notice a strange ripple suddenly in a calm stream in front of him.

Below the ripples, many flowing shadows appeared.

The speed of these shadows is very fast, because it is very fast, and it is very dense, so when these shadows approached Xie Changsheng, Xie Changsheng, who had not been alert before, even subconsciously felt that the sky was dark, so his first reaction was to look up at the sky above.

"What an idiot!"

Jing Liuli's gaze stayed on Xie Changsheng's body dozens of breaths ago, and seeing Xie Changsheng's first reaction at this moment, she sneered and scolded, and at the same time, her left hand moved slightly, and a crimson piccolo suddenly appeared in the palm of her left hand.

The difference between life and death in the cultivator's world is only in a moment, and Xie Changsheng's head is already a few moments in her eyes.

So Xie Changsheng's reaction was enough to make him die many times.

The blue-robed man beside her was already frowning deeply and his expression was solemn, but he was completely relieved when he saw the piccolo made of red coral unique to overseas appear in her hand.

Xie Changsheng's head had not yet fallen.

A dense sound of water exploded around him.

The calm stream completely exploded in an instant, and dense black shadows either ran through the bottom of the water, or rushed directly out of the water, swarming towards Xie Changsheng.

Until this time, Xie Changsheng hadn't seen clearly what these black shadows were, but he had already felt intuition and fear, so shocked that the pain in his body seemed to disappear in an instant, only his scalp was constantly numbing and exploding.

A stream of water mixed with a large amount of mud and sand and shattered aquatic plants exploded under him, and the true yuan in his body had subconsciously poured out under his feet, and at the same time, his right hand grasped the hilt of the sword in front of him at the fastest speed in his life.

However, at this moment, several of the fastest black shadows had already fallen on him, and two of them were falling on his sword-drawn arm.

A terrible scream erupted from Xie Changsheng's mouth.

On his body and arms, several streams of blood spurted out at the same time.

The front of the black shadow squeaks with fresh flesh and excitement.

It was only at this time that Xie Changsheng, who hung his head, saw that these black shadows were all black rats!

These black rats are by no means ordinary rats, they seem to be active in the water for a long time on weekdays, and the black hair on their bodies is extremely smooth and clinging to their bodies, and even a broad tail is tightly wrapped with black hair.

It is impossible for ordinary rats to be so ferocious and brutal, when the breath of fresh flesh and blood spreads, the entire stream in front of Xie Changsheng exploded, like countless arrows falling into the water in an instant, but countless black shadows swept upward, forming a black tide exuding a crazy aura.

Jing Liuli's fingertips have already flowed out of the true yuan, and it is in the red piccolo in his hand.

But at this moment, her brow furrowed deeply, and then she stopped all movements.

The sword in Xie Changsheng's hand, who let out a terrible scream, was finally cut out.

A lone sword light slashed at the crazy black tide in front of it, looking like a faint candle flame that would be extinguished at any moment in the oncoming wind.

Even Xie Changsheng himself felt that death was coming, and he felt that in the next moment, his body would be full of these black brutal rats, and then his body would be full of holes, revealing a lot of white bones.

"Whew!"

However, what he didn't expect at all was that a violent agitation suddenly sounded in the air.

The first thing that Xie Changsheng thought of was Zhao Jianlu's sword.

Because this sound is very similar to the sound of hot fire gushing in the hearth.

Then in the next moment, his screams came to an abrupt end, and his eyes widened to the extreme.

In a puff of white sword qi, countless golden lines of fire suddenly appeared, and these golden lines of fire completely ignited the white sword qi.

In front of him, a real burning golden cloud, like the tail of the legendary phoenix, swept forward.

Countless high-pitched, short-lived screams emanated from the burning golden clouds.

Xie Changsheng's body had already swept up and fell into the thorn bush on one side, and his legs and body were pierced again with fine thorns on many thorns, but at this time he didn't even feel any pain.

He was in utter shock and disbelief.

The burning golden clouds swept across the surface of the stream, and all the black rats' bodies were burning, and you could clearly see that the black hairs were burning off in an instant, and the sturdy bodies were burned golden, and even dripping yellow grease was constantly dripping out.

Why is this happening?

How could this sword ignite such a golden cloud, and how could it sweep a staggering distance of several feet?

Xie Changsheng's breathing paused, and his gaze subconsciously fell to the sword in his hand.

He saw that the sword in his hand was shining brightly, with many golden rays of light, as if it was about to float out of the sword.

Only then did he realize that what he was using was not the sword he usually used, but the sword that Ding Ning had to let himself choose.

......

"The Yaoguang Sword combined with the white clouds of the Baiyun Temple swirled with the sword intent, the vitality is excited, and it will produce such a change?"

Jing Liuli's pupils reflected the golden glow, she narrowed her eyes, and said as if asking the blue-robed man behind her, and as if talking to herself.

There was also real shock in the eyes of the blue-robed man, and he said very seriously: "I don't know either. ”

"You are the person who reads the Sword Sutra and the Sword Sect the most in the Minshan Sword Sect, I don't think that the ancestor of the Zhou family knows more than you, even you don't know, but Ding Ning knows, is this a coincidence?" Jing Liuli turned his head and looked at the blue-robed man and said.

"Maybe the ancestor of the Zhou family just knew, maybe he had read some classics of other dynasties, except for these coincidences, I can't think of any other possibility. The blue-robed man smiled bitterly.

Jing Liuli put away the red piccolo in her hand, and her eyes fell on Xie Changsheng in the crimson field again, and some displeasure appeared in her eyes again, and she said coldly: "But with this sword, I took the shit luck." ”

When she said such words, Xie Changsheng didn't feel any luck.

The threat of death he felt had not gone away.

The death of the rats did not deter the rest of their kind, and the frenzied black tide still rushed out of the stream and rushed towards him.

At the same time, he felt a strange throbbing in the distance.
