242 Patience

Gorge.

At a depth of more than 800 zhang of water, the sunlight in the sky cannot shine into this dark and dead river all year round.

Only a very small number of deep-water spirit fish and demon fish can adapt to the terrifying water pressure here and survive at the bottom of this dark river.

Other than that, there is almost no other living activity.

Ye Chen's body glowed with golden light and blue light, and in the depths of this cold and dark river, he looked coldly at Liu Hongdan, who was a ball of red light not far away.

The two confronted each other nervously.

This is the light of the amulet, which can illuminate the waters of more than a few square feet.

The strong murderous aura, along with the blood from Ye Chen's wound, spread to the surroundings.

Lurking in the depths of the river, a black eel more than ten zhang long, smelled the smell of blood, and happily drilled out of the stone cave in the gorge where it was hiding, and swam over with all its might. But it was thousands of feet away, and suddenly felt the murderous aura in the bloody aura, and was immediately frightened, and rushed back to the cave lair where it was hiding a few times. Being able to exude such a strong murderous aura is obviously not something that a fourth-order demon fish like it can compete with.

"It seems that you don't plan to hand over Xu Wei's storage bag!"

Liu Hongdan danced the short sword in his hand with one hand, and said in a cold tone.

"Xu Wei tried to hunt me down, but he was killed by me, and the storage bag he left behind after his fall belonged to the loot, so it naturally belonged to me! You want me to give you the bag as soon as you ask, and you want to take it unless you can kill me!"

Ye Chen stared at Liu Hongdan and chuckled, "But we have been fighting for more than half an hour, according to my observation, you are a monk who majored in the dual system of wind and fire, and the speed of the wind system and the power of the fire system make you have extremely strong combat power on land. It's a pity that in these 800 zhang depths, your dual line is completely restrained by the strong water pressure, and you don't have the ability to defeat me, a mid-foundation building monk. If you don't accept it, try again!"

He silently cast a spell, and thunder balls glowing with thunder appeared above his palm. There were more and more of these fist-sized thunderballs, a full eight of them, floating within a radius of dozens of feet around him. In any direction, he can completely cover the waters.

This is a combination of a primary-level water and thunder spell, and the power is not very high.

Don't look at these mine balls are inconspicuous in appearance, and the attack speed is not fast, but once they explode, the dense lightning bolts can instantly cover a range of hundreds of zhang.

If you get hit by a thunderball, it won't hurt the monks in the later stage of foundation building. However, the instantaneous paralyzing effect of a strong lightning strike can still bring a lot of trouble to the opponent.

"You~~, looking for death!"

Liu Hongdan's face was furious.

A small fourth-layer monk in the foundation building period actually laughed at her, an eight-layer monk in the foundation building period!

Her figure flickered, and she suddenly shot towards Ye Chen.

It's a pity that the speed on land is extremely fast, and it can rush out of hundreds of zhang in the blink of an eye, but in this deep water, it is extremely slow, and it can swim out more than ten zhang at most.

Before she could close the distance between her and Ye Chen, she saw eight shining thunder balls blasting towards her.

This was followed by a series of thunderous roars

"Whoa!"

A graceful figure rushed out of the river and flew into the middle of the canyon in a rage.

"Ye Chenβ€”β€”!"

Liu Hongdan was wet, and the paralysis caused by the lightning strike was still making her delicate body tremble. With a sword in his hand, Yu angrily swung several sword rays at the abyss of the canyon, splitting the turbulent river and splashing it in all directions, but he was helpless against Ye Chen in the depths of the river.

At a depth of eight hundred zhang in this canyon abyss, her cultivation was weakened by restraint so much that not only could she not kill Ye Chen, but she couldn't even defeat it. ...,

She was a well-known little demon girl in the Wind Demon Gate, an eighth-layer monk who built a foundation, but was forced to escape from the water instead.

She had never suffered such a loss at the hands of a monk who was four orders lower than her.

"I'll stay in this canyon, I don't believe you can stay in this deep water for the rest of your life!"

Liu Hongdan was angry

"I don't believe that you can guard this canyon for the rest of your life!"

Ye Chen muttered a few words, found a reef under the dark water, meditated silently, and took the elixir to cultivate.

Even if it was a day's cultivation, he didn't want to waste it. He only had a short period of five years to attack the ninth layer of the foundation building period and get a place to participate in the joint examination of the Nine Immortal Gates in Yunzhou. If you lose this opportunity, you can only wait for the next ten years of the joint entrance examination. Every day, you must hurry up your cultivation and become stronger, even if it is in this abyss of eight hundred zhang under the water.

Liu Hongdan couldn't fight him in the depths of this water.

But he didn't dare to go up easily, once he went up, he would lose the suppressive effect of the 800 zhang water depth on Liu Hongdan, and in that case, he wouldn't be able to fight Liu Hongdan.

"Do you want to go to other places along the Yinsha River? No, the water of the Yinsha River is deep and shallow. Dozens of miles away from here, the river is shallow, the water is gentle, and she will definitely catch up. ”

Ye Chen shook his head and denied the idea.

The water in this canyon is unfathomably deep, at least more than a thousand feet. But leaving this canyon, the other upstream and downstream sections of the river are very shallow, only one or two hundred zhang deep. Many low-level monks in Wanbaowu fished out silver sand in the water and relied on it to sustain their lives and cultivate. The shallow water of one or two hundred zhang can even be seen with the naked eye, and it is of no use to a monk like Liu Hongdan in the later stage of foundation building.

Fish in deep water can live for a long time, but fish in shallow water are easy to catch.

Once he was targeted by Liu Hongdan in shallow water, he would have nowhere to escape.

Ye Chen still understands this truth.

His only way was to stay in the deep water of this canyon and wait for Liu Hongdan to take the initiative to leave.

Three days passed in a flash.

Ye Chen meditated underwater for three days, and after estimating that Liu Hongdan should leave disappointed, he cautiously flew out of the river.

"β€”β€”!"

The moment he left the water.

"Changhong runs through the sun!"

With a coquettish shout, a fiery red sword in the sky, like a scorching sun, pierced the sky and attacked him. Liu Hongdan's shocking sword, unleashed in the canyon sky, was ten times faster and more powerful than the speed and power that was unleashed at the bottom of the river a few days ago.

Ye Chen was taken aback.

Fortunately, he had already prepared, and hurriedly sacrificed several flying sword magic weapons, and blocked the fire-type flying sword that attacked the sky with all his might.

"Boom!"

Ye Chen forcibly blocked this blow, snorted, swallowed a mouthful of blood, and fell sharply into the abyss of the canyon, with a water-clearing spirit bead in his mouth, and quickly escaped into the depths of the river

For half a month, Ye Chen recuperated at the bottom of the river, and surfaced on the river five times to check, and found that Liu Hongdan was always on the high peak of the canyon, staring at the movement in the river. This discovery made him almost die, since Liu Hongdan didn't leave, he could only stay in this place.

Half a month later, when Ye Chen came up for the sixth time, he strangely didn't see any trace of Liu Hongdan.

However, Ye Chen didn't dare to leave this Grand Canyon easily.

This canyon is the deepest part of the river in a radius of hundreds of miles. He left with his front foot, who knows if Liu Hongdan would secretly follow him. It is not a wise thing to compare the flight speed with the monks of the late stage of foundation building.

"Where did the woman go?!"

Ye Chen looked around suspiciously.

He touched his rumbling belly and turned back into the river, intending to catch some fish. ...,

Although the foundation building monks can cultivate in the valley and take the pill occasionally, they are still prone to hunger if they do not eat for a long time. The taste of Bigu Dan is not good. If there were other better foods, Ye Chen would not be willing to use Bigu Dan often.

After half a ring.

Ye Chen carried two tails and a silver spirit fish more than a foot long in his hand and went ashore.

The silver spirit fish is one of the specialties of Wanbaowu, although it is a low-level spirit fish, but the aura is extremely abundant. Eating this spirit fish is no worse than taking an ordinary spirit pill, and one is worth ten spirit stones. This silver spirit fish is difficult to catch, and the big inn in Wanbaowu may not always have goods.

This was not a difficult task for Ye Chen, a lightning strike could make them turn their bellies.

He found some dry wood in the canyon forest, lit a bonfire, set up a wooden frame, and instead of wearing the fish with branches, he roasted the two silver spirit fish on the bonfire.

When it was almost half-cooked, Ye Chen took out a few bottles of mustard and other spices from the inn from the storage bag and sprinkled them on the two silver spirit fish.

A light smell of cooked fish gradually diffused in the canyon.

Ye Chen took a deep breath and was very satisfied.

In the past, when he was studying at the Beilu Academy of Wuguo, he often barbecued all kinds of game in the back mountains to fill his stomach and enhance his physical strength. Later, he followed Princess Wuguo to embark on the road of cultivating immortals, and rarely cooked by himself. Over the years, it seems that his craft has not been rusty.

"Hmph~, you are at ease, and you are not in a hurry to leave!"

Liu Hongdan walked out of the woods slowly, and came to Ye Chen's hundred zhang away, and said with a powdered face.

She had already planned to let Ye Chen leave this canyon, she followed all the way, looking for an opportunity to kill Ye Chen, and snatch the "Devouring Yuan Codex" that fell back into Ye Chen's hands. But she didn't expect Ye Chen to have the leisure to grill fish on the bank of this river, and she didn't seem to have any intention of leaving this canyon at all, which made her calculation fail.

"You're in a hurry?"

Ye Chen glanced at her, turned the dead branches of the grilled fish, and said with a smile. The distance of hundreds of feet was relatively safe for him, and he had enough time to dive deep into the bottom of the river.

"I'm not in a hurry. ”

Liu Hongdan's tone froze.

She didn't want to waste time with Ye Chen here.

She also needs to cultivate and become one of the five strongest disciples of the Wind Demon Sect to prepare for the joint examination of the Nine Great Immortal Sects. Only by participating in the joint examination of the Nine Great Immortal Sects on behalf of the Wind Demon Sect and striving for the ranking can you get a huge reward, including a large number of spirit pills, spirit stones, and magic weapons.

This huge reward is enough for her to break through the golden pill period.

This is related to her path to cultivating immortals, and of course she is anxious.

But these things, she didn't bother to tell Ye Chen, a monk in the middle stage of foundation building. For the monks in the middle stage of foundation building, the joint examination of the Nine Great Immortal Sects is still a very distant thing, and at least one or two decades later, there is a glimmer of hope.

"Aren't you in a hurry to leave this place? If the master of the Fire Gate knows that you killed his son-in-law and the heir of the Fire Immortal Gate, I am afraid that he will kill you in heaven and earth to avenge the murder of his son. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that the mother of this Xu Shao Sect Master is a famous Jindan predecessor of my Wind Demon Sect, and she has always been extremely protective of her shortcomings, and she regards Xu Wei as a treasure. You killed Xu Wei, as long as the matter spreads, at least two Jindan monks want to take your life! There is also the crazy pursuit of countless foundation building stage disciples under the Fire Worship Gate and the Wind Demon Gate, are you not in a hurry?"

Liu Hongdanfeng rolled his eyes and said with a smile.

"The only people who know about this are you, me, Xu Wei and his subordinates, a total of four people. Xu Wei and the others are dead, since you don't leave this place, naturally no one else knows about this matter, what am I anxious about. ”

Ye Chen knew that she was threatening herself with words, so he smiled disapprovingly. ...,

"Your cultivation is not high, but your courage is not small. But you don't know, just now I went back to Wanbaowu and sent a message to the Lord of the Fire Worship Gate and the Elder of the Wind Demon Gate, and they will come soon after receiving the letter. Even if this canyon is thousands of feet deep, facing the pursuit of two Jindan monks, it will not be able to save your life. Can you still sit still?"

Liu Hongdan said with a smile.

"If it were someone else, I might have been scared by you! ”

Ye Chen was silent for a while, chuckled, and roasted two spirit fish by the riverside bonfire, "Senior Sister Liu, you have been here for more than half a month, and you are obviously determined to get the copy of the "Devouring Yuan Code" in Xu Wei's storage bag. Whether it is to send a message to the Jindan monks of the Fire Worship Gate or the Wind Demon Gate, this copy of the "Devouring Yuan Codex" will fall into the hands of the Jindan monks, and in the end, you will not have your share. There's no way you're going to send a message to anyone, you're just trying to force me to get out of the canyon as soon as possible so I can chase them all the way. As long as you kill me and take away the "Devouring Yuan Codex", no one will know that you have this volume of cultivation exercises in your hands. ”

"No wonder Xu Wei is so urgent, he wants to kill you at any cost, you are really not easy to deal with!"

Liu Hongdan's phoenix eyes finally showed a look of surprise. (To be continued...... Bring the cutest, purest and most loving little Yi @ cold and coldδΈ¨
