Chapter 40: The Man from Middle-earth

Two days later, on the Minjiang River, a luxury ship slowly sailed into the wilderness.

The ship is made of precious metals and is exceptionally strong. The side of the ship is also decorated with a golden dragon-shaped totem, and at the stern are three huge propellers that rotate non-stop to power the ship.

In the middle of the ship is a two-storey loft with a huge flag on top, also with a golden dragon motif on it. There was a milky white ball of light around each of the attics, emitting a faint glow that enveloped the entire ship.

The boat was extremely fast as it descended the water, and with three propellers behind it to power it, it was extremely fast, and it was already 100 meters away in just a moment.

On the deck, two white-clothed teenagers sat opposite each other, each with black and white chess pieces in their hands.

"Your Highness, this time His Royal Highness was seriously injured in the wilderness, and the mission must have failed. I think that these two highnesses are nothing more than this, such an important task has failed like this, and even asked His Majesty to send you to meet them, he will definitely lose face when he returns, and those ministers in the government and the opposition who originally supported the second highness will definitely re-examine the second highness. ”

One of the white-clothed boys, who looked slightly older than the person playing against him, said as he dropped the sunspot in his hand with a flattery on his face.

"Hey, brother, you can't say that. After all, we are brothers, and no matter which of the two of us sits in that seat in the future, as long as we care about the people, it will be the same!" said the young man with a folding fan in his hand, with a graceful demeanor, and with a smug smile in his words.

"Your Highness is modest, according to your humble opinion, with His Highness's talent and cultivation, he will ascend to the great treasure in the future, what virtue does the Second Highness have, how can he compare with you?" The slightly older young man raised his wine glass and flattered the eldest prince.

The eldest prince also raised his glass and drank, but the smile on his face was stronger.

"I don't know what to think, it's just that my father sent me to welcome the second brother back, why did you let Mu Jiaoxi from the Holy Academy come with me?"

The slightly older young man was slightly stunned, and said, "Your Highness is saying that the Holy Academy guards the library and Mu Zifeng?"

The eldest prince nodded and said, "What? do you know this person?"

The slightly older young man was a little surprised, nodded and explained, "I also heard the elders in the sect inadvertently mention that this person's cultivation is quite high, and he can be ranked in the top ten in the entire Saint Tang territory. And indifferent to fame and fortune, the saint gave him a huge reward before, and wanted to call him to serve the imperial court, but he refused, and finally volunteered to become a teacher in the holy academy to guard the library. ”

"There is such a strange person?" the eldest prince muttered, and his eyes quietly looked at the attic behind him again, and that person, since he got on the big ship, has been in the attic.

At this moment, countless blisters suddenly appeared on the surface of the river, more and more, bigger and bigger. Countless blisters are generated from the bottom of the water, and they quickly grow larger and fly out of the water.

The blisters floated into the air and flew towards the big ship.

"There is a situation!"

I don't know who shouted, and a group of soldiers instantly poured out of the deck, surrounding the eldest prince and the young man tightly in the center, looking at the water with a nervous expression.

The milky white balls of light around the attic suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and for a moment, the entire outer layer of light on the periphery of the big ship became like substance.

The blisters hit the mask, shattering and dissipating, and none of them were spared.

"Your Highness, don't panic, it's just a little spirit, let's kill it for the sake of it!" the slightly older young man smiled at the corner of his mouth and stepped forward to the eldest prince.

The eldest prince nodded, and instructed in his mouth: "Brother Shepherd, be careful!"

The young man squeezed out of the crowd and came to the side of the boat, his eyes stared towards the bottom of the water, and the corner of his mouth smiled slightly: "It turned out to be a big fish!"

I saw that he quickly pulled out the long sword behind his back and slashed towards the bottom of the water, and the fierce sword qi went directly into the bottom of the water. If Gu Qingzhou was to recognize it again at this moment, the moves used by the young man were also Taoist exercises.

The fierce sword qi invaded the bottom of the water, and instantly stirred up a sky-high wave, which shot directly into the air and then scattered, and a black shadow also fell from the wave, falling right on the deck.

Everyone on the deck stared at each other, like the black shadow, and saw a monster with a fish-headed human body landing on the deck.

The fish monster turned over and looked at the people holding weapons, and knelt on the ground with a "plop", and spoke directly.

"Adults, don't kill me, the little one didn't mean to offend, but he was a little louder when he was playing with his friends in the water. The fish monster pleaded with a human tongue in his mouth.

The older boy pointed his sword at the fish monster with his right hand, and looked at the eldest prince with his eyes.

After seeing clearly what the black shadow was and what was there, the eldest prince reacted, and at the same time walked towards the fish monster from a soldier.

The older boy looked at the slowly approaching eldest prince with a hint of displeasure on his face, and his heart moved slightly, and the long sword directly stabbed the heart of the fish monster without hesitation.

"People...... Class, Why...... Kill...... Me?" The pupils of the fish monster's eyes dilated instantly, and the vitality on his body was slowly disappearing, and he looked at the young man who stabbed him with a puzzled expression.

The boy ignored the fish monster and kicked it in the chest, kicking it directly back into the river. The corpse fell into the water, and the red blood stained the surface of the river, and in an instant, it was swallowed up by the spirits in the water.

The young man took out a white cloth, wiped the blood stains on the long sword, threw it into the river, and said lightly: "It's just a little demon, if you kill it, you will kill it!"

The soldiers on the deck all returned to their original positions, and the eldest prince clapped his palms, came to the young man's side with a smile on his face, and said: "Brother Mu is a good method, seeing that Brother Mu's spiritual power is so mellow, presumably the "Dao Sword" has been cultivated to the sixth chapter." ”

The young man took the long sword, and his face was very proud: "Your Highness is really powerful, you can guess my strength just by my moves, presumably Your Highness's strength is even better, and Mu will rely on Your Highness more in the future!"

The eldest prince folded the fan in his hand, and the smile on his face was even stronger: "Hey, Brother Mu is polite, if you can get the help of Brother Mu in the future, you will definitely prosper my Holy Tang!"

"Your Highness, we have already reached Lingjian ahead, and because the creek is too small, we can't go into it by big boats, so we can only walk instead. "A soldier came to report it.

The eldest prince waved his sleeves directly, and said with a look of disgust on his face: "Sure enough, it's a shabby place that doesn't, and it can't even get into a boat." That's it, that's it, I heard that my brother who is not angry was seriously injured this time, and I, as an elder brother, really feel sorry for him. ”

"In that case, let's walk, I'd better check my brother's injuries early, so as not to worry me!"

"His Royal Highness and Second Highness are really brothers Yiyi, and the deep brotherly love really touches Chen!" the young man hid his face and cried, greatly moved.

......

On the outskirts of the mausoleum, the eldest prince and the young man came to lead a group of soldiers to a camphor forest. Looking up, I saw a black mist between the trees, and within the black fog, there were faint black shadows floating around, obviously some poisonous miasma spirits.

The eldest prince's face changed, and he said to the two guards next to him: "You two, go in and have a look!"

The two named guards also looked at each other, but because of the order of the eldest prince, they had to walk towards the camphor forest.

"Gollum!"

Everyone couldn't help but secretly swallow a mouthful of saliva, and looked nervously at the two guards who walked into the camphor forest.

"Ahh

Two screams came, and I saw that after the two guards entered the camphor forest, they were obviously invaded by the poisonous gas, and at the same time, there were all kinds of poisonous miasma spirits in the woods directly surrounding them.

In just an instant, the black fog that surrounded them dissipated. Outside the woods, everyone's eyes involuntarily gathered on the guards in the camphor forest, and their faces changed in an instant.

It turned out that the two people who were alive just now had turned into two white bones.

Everyone gasped, secretly glad that the person who had just entered the camphor forest was not themselves.

The eldest prince and the young man looked pale at the same time, their faces were serious for a while, and they knew that they couldn't break through at this time, so they could only stop for the time being and think of a way.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" the young man asked as he came to the eldest prince's side.

The latter's face sank, and he said lightly: "Wait!"

"The elder brother is here, can't the younger brother come out to greet him?"
