Just as Ye Chen was thinking wildly, the old man glanced over inquiringly, and said: "If there is nothing else, can you go to the nine bends and eighteen bends to find the lost ship now, the old granddaughter is still on it, it has been half a month, Although there is plenty of food up there, accidents are inevitable.”
Qu Ming stood up, "Don't worry, grandpa, I've taken care of this matter, I will definitely bring Xinying back."
"Since there are people on board, let's set off without delay!" Ye Chen also stood up.
The old man nodded, "I will go with you, the iron-wood boat is ready."
The northwest coast of Panshan Island.
A fifteen-meter-long, three-meter-wide black wooden boat docked there, with a faint luster on its surface, similar to metal.
Ye Chen knew that this was an iron-wood boat. It was made of iron-wood comparable to metal. Needless to say, it was hard enough to withstand the full blow of a martial artist in the Qi training state without being damaged. It was also very flexible and could shuttle quickly in big waves. , don't worry about breaking the hull.
"Master!"
Twelve Qu family warriors from the ninth floor of Qi training realm lined up in a row and said in unison.
The old man waved his hand, "You all know Qu Ming. This is Ye Chen, an inner disciple of the Liuyun Sect. He will go with us to the nine bends and eighteen bends to rescue Xinying."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head to Ye Chen and Qu Ming and said, "They are not as powerful as you two, but the water surname is very good, and they can hold their breath underwater for a quarter of an hour."
Ye Chen was a little surprised. With his current cultivation, it is not difficult to hold his breath underwater for a quarter of an hour, but these twelve people are only at the ninth level of Qi training.
…
The closer you get to the nine bends and eighteen bends, the faster the water flow. Waves of tides hit the side of the iron and wooden boat endlessly, making loud crackling noises, which is thrilling.
in the cabin.
The old man said: "Nine bends and eighteen bends have complicated water flow and countless eddies. It is impossible to pass without superb rowing skills. If there is no accident, the old granddaughter should be trapped in the first half of nine bends and eighteen bends. There is a small mountain there. , The mountain and the lake form a flat beach for ships to dock, and what you have to do is very simple, kill any monsters that approach to prevent the ships from being washed away from the track."
Ye Chen said: "It's so simple, I can use lightness kung fu to fly over and find the lost ship and your granddaughter soon."
The old man shook his head, "The real horror of the Nine Curves and Eighteen Bends is not the water and monsters, but the thick fog. If you enter it alone, you will get lost easily, and you will never get out for a lifetime. Find a way out."
"So that's it!" Ye Chen nodded thoughtfully, Panshan Island and Gushui Lake couldn't be treated with common sense, it was too weird.
crunch!
Suddenly, the iron and wooden boat shook violently, as if it had been rubbed by something.
Teng Teng Teng, a Qu family martial artist rushed in, "Patriarch, three monster birds are approaching."
The old man nodded, "Leave it to the two of them."
Ye Chen and Qu Ming looked at each other and walked out of the cabin together.
On the deck, Ye Chen looked up and saw three huge strange birds flying in mid-air. The wings of the strange birds were five meters wide, and there were a pair of sharp claws growing on the upper half of the wings. The strong wind that came up made the iron and wooden boat shake.
"Point the star finger, the Big Dipper!"
Qu Ming raised the middle fingers of his right hand together, the glazed brilliance at the end of the fingertips loomed, and the void tapped seven times, depicting the pattern of the Big Dipper.
Puff, puff, puff...
Without any suspense, the three monster birds were shrouded in finger lights that formed the Big Dipper, and several blood holes appeared on their bodies, and they fell into the lake water.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Good fingering!"
"It's just a trick." Qu Ming stopped.
At this moment, a martial artist from the Qu family said loudly: "Nine bends and eighteen bends have arrived. Everyone, please support the fixed objects so as not to be thrown out of the deck."
After the words fell and blinked three times, the hull shook violently, with the tendency of capsizing. The other Qu family warriors had been prepared for a long time and grabbed what they could support. Only Ye Chen and Qu Ming were indifferent, and their feet were firmly on the ground. On the deck, no matter how hard the ship shakes, it is difficult to shake their bodies.
Qu Ming's body is very flexible and well-balanced. He doesn't seem to be moving, but in fact, his body is secretly making small changes in accordance with the direction of the ship's shaking, and he can always follow the trend and feel relaxed and freehand.
But when he looked at Ye Chen, his eyes narrowed involuntarily.
Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back, and his feet seemed to have roots, shaking with the shaking of the hull, like a part of the hull, there was no possibility of being thrown out.
"What a brilliant lightness kung fu." Qu Ming's eyesight was so sharp, he immediately saw that Ye Chen's attainments in lightness kung fu were very high, and his use of zhenqi far surpassed that of ordinary warriors.
Ye Chen smiled faintly, and was about to speak, when he suddenly frowned and said, "There are monsters sneaking under the water."
With a vertical posture, Ye Chen's body landed on the fence beside the boat, and he punched down with a shining blue light.
Roar!
The roar of the tiger shook the sky, and the blue air dragon swooped down and got into the bottom of the water.
next moment!
The huge corpse of the monster floated up, and there was a bathtub-sized blood hole in the chest and abdomen, and the blood was gurgling.
Qu Ming looked at the corpse of the monster beast, and said in surprise: "The water shadow beast is good at hiding monster energy and proficient in stealth. How did you notice it?" If Ye Chen didn't find out, Qu Ming thought it would be impossible to kill the water shadow beast in advance He will only notice when the evil spirit is exposed when the other party launches an attack. At that time, even if the iron and wooden boat is unscathed, it will definitely deviate from the channel, and it will take a lot of effort to return to the normal route. A lot of time wasted.
Naturally, Ye Chen would not say that the soul power is strong, and he can freely detect any objects around him, so he made up a reason: "Although the water shadow beast is proficient in stealth and restrained, its huge body is hard to be silent, no matter how dexterous it is." Sneaking over will definitely change the water flow slightly."
Qu Ming nodded secretly, what the other party said was right, the bigger the body, the greater the resistance in the water, but the other party's perception is too strong, even the subtle changes of the water flow can be as clear as an inch, which has to be admired.
With the gradual deepening of the nine bends and eighteen bends, the shaking frequency of the hull is getting faster and faster. Sometimes it is obviously shaking to the left, but it suddenly jumps up, and sometimes it is obviously stable and there is no wave. Standing still can almost make the heart of an ordinary person jump out.
Finally, the iron-wooden boat came to the half-submerged mountain without any risk.
On the beach, a large ship was moored there, seemingly invisible in the thick fog, dead silent.
Before the ship approached, Qu Ming and Ye Chen flew past like two big birds on the deck under their feet, at an incredible speed.
Clap!
The two stood on the deck of the lost ship, feeling that the atmosphere had changed.
"Xinying! Are you there?" Qu Ming made a voice.
Whirring whirring!
Except for the lake wind, there was no sound.
Afraid of missing something, the two pushed open the cabin door and walked in.
After a while, the two came out again.
Ye Chen looked up at the mountain, and said to Qu Ming, "Maybe they took refuge on the mountain."
Qu Ming nodded, "This is the only possible surname, wait for Grandpa and the others first."
