Chapter 18: Retreat
In the huge cabin, the cold air was acute, and pieces of huge eight-rank cold ice were constantly transported in, and it could be seen that Bai Luoyun still trusted Duan Heng quite a lot.
Because such a large amount of eight-rank cold ice is a huge wealth in itself, especially for immortal cultivators who cultivate the Black Water Evil Qi, it is simply an endless treasure trove.
So at this moment, in the depths of this cabin, Zhu Yu was sitting alone on a large piece of eight-grade cold ice, constantly absorbing the cold ice qi in it, and making rapid progress.
As for Zhuo Laodou, Lin Yulou and the others, they can only be hot on the side, there is no way, among them, only Zhu Yu is the one who cultivates the black water evil qi, so he is the only one who enjoys this benefit, probably in another month at most, Zhu Yu will be able to reunite the immortal ding and completely determine his future fate.
Even, even Lin Yulou, Liu Bai, and Wu Shaoxiang are in better condition than Zhuo Laodou and the five people, just with the spirit wine given by Duan Heng, it is enough for them to step to a new level, but the speed of condensing the immortal tripod is much slower, and it will take three months, or even half a year at the earliest.
In the past few days, although Zhu Yu and the others have been tight-lipped, how shrewd Zhuo Laodou, Niu Er and others are, they have long seen that all this is related to Duan Heng, so they are all staring at Duan Heng with blank eyes, and they also want to get the same treatment.
However, Duan Heng didn't pay attention to it at all, and he didn't pick it up, which made them very anxious, but they were helpless, if they missed the opportunity, they missed it, thinking that two years ago, how many people laughed at Zhu Yu and the four of them, and even opened a lot of handicap betting Duan Heng was a joke, but now?
Instead, they became a joke.
"Lao Zhuo, you guys, let's go back to your cabin safely, it's useless to wait for the opportunity here, Brother Duan hasn't appeared for nine days. And -- that's all I have to say. At this time, Wu Shaoxiang couldn't stand it, so he reminded in a low voice.
Although Zhou Peng directly assigned the nine of them to Duan Heng before, Duan Heng only allowed Zhu Yu, Lin Yulou and the four of them to stay here, and Zhuo Laodou and the others could move freely and go anywhere.
From this point of view. Zhuo Laodou and the others don't have any chances.
"Hey, what do you mean? When we lived and died with Brother Duan, you were hiding in the cellar, and besides, you guys buckled the ropes, didn't Lao Tzu just want to drink some of your spirit wine? Hmph, drag what! Believe it or not, Lao Tzu can destroy you!" Niu Er said angrily.
Wu Shaoxiang just smiled and stopped talking, only at this time. Only then will he understand the meaning of Duan Heng letting the four of them do nothing before and just meditate for three years.
"Okay, it's all my own family, what's the quarrel, let's go back first. Zhuo Laodou said at this time, but his eyes looked at the other side with some regret, there. In a huge cold ice, Duan Heng's figure was still motionless. The gap was so big that he couldn't even tell what Duan Heng was doing.
――
Time flies, it is more than half a month, the entire fleet is non-stop day and night, and it can sail tens of thousands of miles every day, but. This is far from being able to cross the state of Mochizuki, and there are some dangerous areas to bypass during this period, so even if everything goes well, I want to cross to the other side of the Cangjiang River. It's going to take three or four months.
These days, the battles of all sizes have hardly stopped, and occasionally there are immortal cultivators who escaped in the previous catastrophe, but these are all powerful existences.
"Hasn't Duan Heng been out of the customs yet?" a figure rushed down in a frenzy, shouting urgently, but it was Zhou Peng, after the unpleasant conversation half a month ago, he rarely went down to this bilge again, but this time it seemed that he was really in a hurry.
"Uh, Boss Zhou, I don't know about this, Brother Duan has always remained like that, and nothing has changed. Lin Yulou said with a smile, because even they themselves were embarrassed.
Yes, in the past half a month or so, their six ice ships have experienced too many battles, and small-scale battles are just enough, if they encounter a powerful water monster, they will have to fight a big battle.
And after every battle, the iceship will be damaged to a greater or lesser extent.
Of course, this is not to say that the other four masters of the governor position can't do it, they really have to go out and be in a hurry, and they can barely make do, but the problem is that the four of them are responsible for frontal battles, and all the large-scale and high-intensity battles these days have to be supported by the four of them, at this time, it is too unrealistic to let them spend their strength to repair the ice ship.
"How about it? When will Duan Heng get out of the customs? Hey, you said that the two of them really cooperate tacitly, one is always unconscious, and the other is never out of the customs, no, you have to think of a way, in that battle just now, there were three cracks in front of the iceship that were several zhang long, and it would be dangerous if they were not repaired!"
At this time, the white feather also rushed down in a hurry, obviously just retreating from the battlefield.
"Uh, well, I'm going to wake up this soul! Zhou Peng sighed, and stepped forward to knock on the huge piece of ice.
However, as soon as he got closer, Duan Heng in the cold ice suddenly opened his eyes.
"I'll go, I'm scared to death! But, you guy, you've finally woken up, do you know, after a while, Sister Yun will have to ask that immortal Joey to help at a high price! Hurry up, hurry up, now everyone is counting on you!" Zhou Peng shouted helplessly.
As soon as his voice fell, the huge piece of ice that was at least five or six meters square in front of everyone seemed to melt, like a wisp of mist, and sank into the iceboat, and as for Duan Heng, he didn't even seem to have the will to stand up.
"Hey, what are you doing? Time is short, we could have another battle at any moment. Zhou Peng jumped to his feet in a hurry.
Bai Luoyu was thoughtful, and then rushed out without saying a word, at this time, Zhou Peng and the others understood that the emotional Duan Heng had simply repaired all the cracks on the iceboard!
This -- that's too sensational.
"Hey, old Duan, what do you mean by that? I know you meant it before, and I don't blame you, but you don't need to embarrass me in this way. Do you have to make the situation urgent, force me to beg you, apologize to you, serve you tea and water, and call you boss, are you satisfied?" Zhou Peng shouted angrily. Obviously, he thinks that Duan Heng has deliberately made things difficult in the past half a month.
Duan Heng was just silent for a long time before slowly shaking his head and saying: "Old Zhou, the friendship between you and me, there is no need for too much nonsense and temptation, I said, if you must insist on going to Bailu Prefecture, I will help you arrive in Bailu Prefecture smoothly." It's as simple as that, when did I Duan Heng become vain enough to ask you Zhou Peng to apologize to me and bring me tea and water? As for how to explain my behavior in the past half a month, I can only say that compressing and condensing the seven pins of cold ice is not as simple as you think, you are in the mood to be angry at me now, it is better to consolidate and cultivate the relationship between you and your sister-in-law. Because that might be your last life-saving gold medal. ”
"Damn, here we go again. It's a pity that you don't want to be a god stick, in short, even if you are ruthless, I will never be able to say you, I will admit defeat, you have a good rest. Zhou Peng threw down a sentence. Turn around and go.
Looking at his figure leaving, Duan Heng squinted his eyes slightly, he did treat Zhou Peng as a friend, especially when he was in the mass burial fort back then, he still owed Zhou Peng a big favor. Therefore, he did not hesitate to choose to help, but, in the same way, he would not unconditionally fall into the pit with this idiot.
What should be said has been said, what should be done has been done, and the rest is left to fate.
Retracting his gaze, Duan Heng looked at Zhuo Laodou and the others who were staring at him on the side, sighed slightly, and said: "Brother Zhuo, there are some things that are reluctant, just like birth, old age, sickness and death, you can't escape, you can't avoid it, wouldn't it be better to face it calmly? Don't worry about yourself, the moment you put your mind on me, you are doomed to be a loser." ”
"What are these words? Duan Heng, you also look down on people, the five of us, compared with Zhu Yu's four little rabbit cubs, which point will be worse, in the end, or are you careful, didn't I just laugh at you for being a fool? As for still being angry?"
"Niu Er, what are you talking nonsense? Shut up!" Zhuo Laodou scolded, and then smiled bitterly at Duan Heng: "I'm ashamed, let you laugh, of course we are not the kind of people who mess around, if we really don't have a chance, we won't be entangled, but I still don't know a little, Brother Duan, what do you mean by 'moving your mind on you'? Didn't the four of Zhu Yu also ask for you? How is it different from us, if you don't agree, if you refuse, why be so sarcastic and ridiculed?"
"Do you think I'm mocking?" Duan Heng shook his head and sighed: "Brother Zhuo, you don't understand, this is where the gap lies, Zhu Yu and the four of them, although they begged me at the beginning, but in fact, they came to the present step by step, I only helped them once in the middle, everything has to rely on them to struggle, maybe you will feel unconvinced, are you really unconvinced?"
"Then let me ask you, you can't have not heard of the four conditions I put forward to Zhu Yu and the four of them, and you can't have not seen what the four of Zhu Yu have done in the past two years, right? During this period, I haven't even said a word to them, let alone any help, and they have persisted in it. Even the help I gave them later only served to push the boat along the water!"
"Do you know? Among the big families, rebuilding the Immortal Ding is valuable, rebuilding to the second-level Immortal Ding, you need at least 100,000 immortal stones, rebuilding to the third-level Immortal Ding, you need at least one million immortal stones, rebuilding to the fourth-level Immortal Ding, you need at least 10 million immortal stones, do you think, I Duan Heng's net worth? But I can tell you clearly, if nothing else, the immortal Ding that Zhu Yu can condense will be the third-level Immortal Ding, Lin Yulou, Liu Bai, and Wu Shaoxiang can at least condense to the second-level Immortal Ding. Is it all my credit? No, most of it is due to their own efforts and their own qualifications. ”
"And look at you, what have you done in the past six months or so? You just look at me pitifully like a beggar, and really think that I can change a person's fate with a single gesture? When you pin all your hopes on me, you have lost the qualification to be aggressive, and deep down, you have already regarded yourself as a loser, do you know what is the behavior I despise the most in my life? It's not failure, it's not cowardice, it's not violence, it's not stupidity, it's not even evasion, it's blaming others for all your mistakes and failures!"
Looking at Zhuo Laodou and the five people leaving lonely, Duan Heng had no waves in his heart, this kind of thing was ridiculous from the beginning, he had never had the idea of forming a force and cultivating his subordinates, and Zhu Yu and the four of them just took advantage of the situation.
Therefore, there is only one chance, and it cannot be copied, even if Zhou Peng begs him here, it is useless.
Because Duan Heng still has no time to take care of himself, why has he been in retreat for the past half a month?
On the one hand, he really needed to condense and compress the seven-rank cold ice, and on the other hand, he needed to speed up his own cultivation progress.
Yes, that's crucial.
Don't look at his infinite scenery now, in fact, because of environmental factors, there are surging floods in all directions, and the time and place are favorable.
Otherwise, if he was transferred to land, he would be an immortal cultivator who could only release eight-rank cold ice qi in an instant, what was it? Not a dog.
In this case, he still delusionally thinks that he can share the profits to help others?
Are you kidding.
Therefore, the few months before the fleet did not cross the Cangjiang River was what he had to fight for, because only at this time, whether it was Bai Luoyun or Bai Luoyu, he would be very generous in sending a large number of resources.
