Chapter 1: Desperate Survival (1)

The sunset is sinking, a light boat through the endless sandbar, sweeping through the heavy smoke waves, from north to south, galloping away, leaving a white water mark behind the boat that wants to be broken and not broken, can not be calmed down for a long time, the boat is very fast, the last ray of afterglow has not yet been exhausted, the outline of the south bank of Dongting has been faintly visible, along the shore, the undulating buildings and houses, have been lit with lights and candles, the stars are dotted, converge into a river of light, orange, red, orange and yellow brilliant colors, revealing the slightest wisps of warmth, so that the children on the lake, suddenly the idea of returning home.

Qi Ting, who was at the helm at the stern, saw the shore of the lake in the distance, and couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart, he had been running on the lake for three days, although he had learned the lesson of the first day, the boat had prepared enough dry food, and he was still hungry after a day of running, especially when they went to the most dangerous Jedi in Dongting Lake, although they were familiar with the waterways, Boss Chu's divine power was amazing, and both of them were good at driving boats. Boss Chu is also repaid, his skills are pure, and he can recover soon, Qi Ting is young after all, and his body and mind are already very tired, if it weren't for the fear of Boss Chu's fierce reputation and strict door rules, he would have wanted to pick a son and quit. On that day on the lake, he heard the conversation between Boss Chu and Jing Feiyu, and naturally knew that today was the last time limit, presumably even if Boss Chu would go down to the lake to find it with a glimmer of hope tomorrow, he would not be as desperate as he had been in the past few days, thinking of this, his heart became more and more secretly happy, as for whether the Demon Emperor Sword was alive or dead, what did it have to do with him?

In fact, Qi Ting was too worried, and Boss Chu didn't have the heart to understand him at all now, and he was thinking hard while waving the oars mechanically. Although he left the Devouring Reef under Qi Ting's persuasion, he was always in suspense in his heart. Qi Ting said it well, the Man-Devouring Reef is really dangerous, and he knows this very well, whether it is Lei Jianyun or Jing Feiyu, although the water map he took out marked the location of the Man-Devouring Reef, it ranked this place to the end. Probably not until there is nowhere to be found, and they are not ready to venture out there to search. It's just that he doesn't have such thoughts, and this time he passed by the Devouring Reef, and he just passed by accident. But that wisp of piano sound. But it made waves in his heart, although he followed Qi Ting's advice and left the Devouring Reef. Thinking about it, I always felt that it was inappropriate, maybe I heard it correctly, maybe Zijing Gongzi and Miss Qingping, who couldn't be found for a long time, were hiding in that unpredictable place? And how to explain it. The entire Dongting Lake has been turned upside down, and all kinds of rumors have been noisy for a while, but the two of them have not even heard any news. Only a dead place and a Jedi like Man-Eating Reef can be truly isolated from the world.

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, his subordinates couldn't help but slow down a little, and parked the boat in the middle of the lake, Chu Lao's brain turned quickly, although he affirmed that the devouring reef might be the hiding place of the son, but he couldn't find it himself, Chu Boss knew that with the water sex and the skill of manipulating the boat, he was afraid that the young man behind him was slightly better than himself, he was just relying on this body of steel and iron bones and amazing divine power to surpass everyone, but the devouring reef is said to have countless swamp traps, as well as a whirlpool that can wrench the boat, this is not a danger that can be fought against by brute force alone, with his own ability, he is afraid that it will be nine deaths, it is better to gather the masters and go to the devouring reef together, Even if you really encounter ghosts, you must have the power to fight, in this way, although it may also interfere with Jing Feiyu and Lei Jianyun's actions to find Yang Ning, it can be regarded as desperate, after all, time is running out, I am afraid that after tonight, even if I find someone, it will be useless.

Having made up his mind, Boss Chu waved his sculls again, ignoring Qi Ting, who was full of panic behind him, lest he turn around and go back, and sailed straight towards the shore of the lake, the place he chose to go ashore was the place where Lei Jianyun met that day, let Qi Ting go to find Lei Jianyun to come over, and he sat down in the pavilion, waiting for Jing Feiyu's messenger to come, this is also the place they agreed in advance to exchange news, once a day, and now it is almost time.

After waiting for a moment, sure enough, a light boat flew over the lake, but it was not the speedboat that Jing Feiyu and others took the day before yesterday, but an ordinary fishing boat, but this was to avoid the eyes and ears of the Dian Wangdi, and it was better than nothing.

Looking at each other, both of them noticed the tiredness in each other's eyes, and surprisingly they didn't sneer, they were silent for a long time, and Jing Feiyu sighed: "It seems that this time Jing is in vain, and I don't know how to explain to His Highness and Ximen Commander, what are Chu Shike's plans?"

Boss Chu was dissatisfied, and at this time, Jing Feiyu was still just thinking about his powerful position, but he was beyond reproach, so he just snorted coldly and said, "Jing Feiyu, have you ever heard of the name of the Man-Devouring Reef?"

Jing Feiyu's heart moved, and said tentatively: "Of course I've heard of the Man-devouring Reef, but it's too dangerous there, and there are rumors that there are ghosts and monsters, although most of them are false, but most of the water brothers are reluctant to approach It's true, although Zijing Gongzi has peerless martial arts, it must be ordinary in terms of water nature, where can he not be accommodated in eight hundred miles, how can he choose such a vicious place, not to mention that the reef island can be inhabited, I don't know?" Even if he can survive, the whirlpool around him is more than 100 zhang wide, even if Zijing Gongzi is peerless and can climb Ping to cross the water, can he still take a person to cross the void?"

Boss Chu choked for a moment, his martial arts had just been promoted to the first-class skill, naturally he didn't know what state Yang Ning's martial arts had reached, and light skills were his weakness, so he naturally didn't know if Yang Ning would be able to take a person across the water surface of Baizhang Hidden Killing Machine, although he had also seen Yang Ning and the colorless nunnery master fighting fiercely on the river that day, but according to the feeling, the effect of taking a person and performing light skills alone is not a good idea. However, he is stubborn, since he has made a decision, he will not change it easily, so he said that he vaguely heard the sound of the piano, and in the end, seeing that Jing Feiyu was still half-convinced, he simply roared angrily: "The surname Jing, Lao Tzu is looking for you to go with you, it is to look up to you, if you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you should not have heard of it, anyway, when Lei Xiaozi arrives, Lao Tzu will go to the devouring reef with him, even if he dies in it, it is better than such a rambling blind search!"

Jing Feiyu smiled bitterly: "Brother Chu, don't be angry, I also want to be safe, you know I know, after tonight, I'm afraid that even if we find Zijing Gongzi and Miss Qingping, it will be in vain, if Miss Qingping has three long and two short, I am afraid that Miss Luqi will be sad and desperate, His Royal Highness admires the beauty, empathizes, if His Royal Highness is unhappy, Jing's future is also dangerous, why don't you do your best, you can rest assured, since there is a clue there is a clue on the devouring reef, it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and Jing also swears to accompany him to the death. ”

When Boss Chu saw him agree, he was pleased, but he complained again: " Lao Jing, it's not Chu who said you, what are you so sorry for, killing people and setting fire to be recruited, although it is the best way out for us people, but it should also be a good bird to choose what to do, although Lao Tzu is also very grateful to your Royal Highness the prince for sending someone to find Gongzi and Miss Qingping, but it is to please a woman, if you really can't find anyone this time, instead of worrying and being afraid, it is better to vote for the master, don't wait until the future to be hidden by those high-ranking big people, unload the mill and kill the donkey and then regret it. ”

Jing Feiyu's eyes flashed with anger when he heard this, but he didn't refute for some reason, but just said lightly: "What kind of person is His Royal Highness, Jing Mou knows in his heart, even if he eats some hanging, it is also Jing Mou's ineffective work, there is no need for Brother Chu to be angry, Brother Chu, the people you are waiting for are still not coming, they will not be afraid of the danger of the devouring reef, and they will retreat from the battle, right?"

Boss Chu opened his eyes and said angrily: "Nonsense, although Lei Boy is soft, but where Lao Tzu dares to go, there is nothing he doesn't dare to go." ”

Jing Feiyu originally deliberately changed the topic, but he didn't expect Boss Chu to be so protective of Lei Jianyun, so he couldn't help but have suspicions in his heart, and secretly kept this matter in his heart, he was about to appease Boss Chu a few words, but a sneering voice sounded behind him: "Jing Er is in charge, whether Lei is as timid as a mouse, you don't need your lordship to blame." Isn't it just a man-devouring reef, and it's not the Hades Palace, so what if you break into it once?"

Boss Chu and Jing Feiyu looked back when they heard the voice, and saw Lei Jianyun dressed in gray, armed with a sword, standing in the vast twilight, almost indistinguishable. Boss Chu believes that he has miraculous power to protect his body. has always been not very vigilant, and last time he approached Lei Jianyun in his sleep. There was not much shock, but Jing Feiyu lived in the tiger's den all the year round, and his six senses were more sensitive than ordinary people. Unexpectedly, Lei Jianyun approached his side without realizing it, so he was naturally shocked. He had heard some rumors about Lei Jianyun, but he only felt that this person was just a child of a family, even if he had a little martial arts, he didn't have to worry about it. I didn't expect it to be so light. The fear in his heart increased a little, but he also knew that now was not the time, so he smiled reluctantly. He arched his hand and said: "Master Lei Shaomen, it is Jing who has lost his words, please don't blame the son, since the son also agrees with the guess of the master of Chu Hui, let's set off, come to the reef for a night, even if it is useless, it can be regarded as the end of benevolence and righteousness." ”

Lei Jianyun was born in a martial arts family, and he was arrogant by nature, if he hadn't met Boss Chu when he was a teenager, how could he afford to be a bandit leader like Chu and Jing, especially when he heard Jing Feiyu's ridicule again, his expression became more and more indifferent, and he said lightly: "I have asked my father to report the news to His Royal Highness the King of Dian, presumably the king will also send someone to investigate the devouring reef, maybe he will come in person, the second master of Beijing has several bloody cases in the Baling County Government, if he does not dare to show his face, although he retracts his head back into the shell, with Lei and Chu Shi, the manpower is enough." ”

Jing Feiyu's face changed slightly, and he muttered for a long time, but said: " Devouring Reef is a dangerous Jedi, and it is good to have more people to help, Tiannan Daozun came forward, and little people like Jing should have retreated, but they were strictly ordered by His Royal Highness, and they didn't dare to retreat slightly, and they wanted to come to His Royal Highness the King of Dian to see His Royal Highness the prince's golden face, and they wouldn't be too harsh, but the Lord of Lei Shaomen was really loyal, and the matter was a little eyebrow, so he reported it, it seems that he was afraid that he would not get the credit, but Brother Chu is also the best on the wanted list in Baling County, and the Lord of Lei Shaomen is not afraid that His Royal Highness the King of Dian will take Brother Chu?"

Lei Jianyun was cold, and said: "Brother Chu is the person next to the Demon Emperor, and cooperating with him is not only to obey the king's order, but also to fulfill the friendship of friends, no one can say anything, that is, the king wants to embarrass Brother Chu, and he has to wait until he breaks through the devouring reef, and then he doesn't know if he has a life, why think so much now, but Brother Jing is very calculating, don't kill Xiao Qi, probably want Lei to pass the news for you, right?" Lei was originally grateful for not sensitive, but today is the third day, and it is not easy to get a clue, if Lei still wants to be alone, I am afraid that he will miss the big event of the king's land, and in desperation, he finally reported the before and after, and Lei will never forget this feeling. ”

Jing Feiyu smiled slightly bitterly, he did intend to use Lei Jianyun to spread some news, he didn't expect Lei Jianyun to be a caveat, and immediately increased his evaluation of Lei Jianyun by three points, and he had the intention to explain, but he was speechless and answered, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Boss Chu, hoping that he would turn around and change one or two. Boss Chu caught a glimpse of his eyes, although he ignored it, he had no choice but to borrow this person now, so he had to laugh and say: "Lei boy, it's all Lao Jing's words, I'll make a difference for him, let's hurry up and go to the Devouring Reef to see what is going on, right?"

Lei Jianyun glanced at Boss Chu, and said coldly: "The surname is Chu, you don't pretend to be a good person, isn't my Lei Jianyun soft-natured, how can I be your friend if I am a cowardly and useless person!"

Boss Chu was so choked that he couldn't speak, so he had to smile bitterly, fortunately, Lei Jianyun didn't embarrass him anymore, he went straight to the lake, jumped on Boss Chu's speedboat, and said loudly: "Let's go first, my father will go to the Devouring Reef to meet us, surnamed Chu Di, if you lie about the military situation, even if the king doesn't add guilt, my father will skin people and cramp, and I won't intercede for you when the time comes." ”

Although Lei Jianyun threatened repeatedly, Boss Chu was warm in his heart, although he lacked scheming, but he was not a fool, why did Lei Jianyun report the news that there was no certainty, isn't he worried that he would break into the reef and be alone, if there is a master like Wu Heng, the king of Yunnan, to press the formation, even if he can't succeed, he has a little more hope of survival, if the guess is wrong, he will run for his life at most, but Lei Jianyun has to bear the responsibility of Xu Xu, such a friendship, not a friend of life and death, how many people can do it?

Regardless of whether Jing Feiyu followed, Boss Chu walked to the shore quickly, holding the helm with one hand and the oar with the other, and laughed loudly: "With your kid sacrificing his life to accompany him, Lao Tzu will die on the Man-devouring Reef, sit down and start the boat." Before the words were spoken, the speedboat was already speeding towards the center of the lake like an arrow from the string, leaving only the sound of laughter all the way, vibrating and whirling in the middle of the lake.
