I didn't take what the white-haired demon star said to heart. What I was worried about was whether Ren Tianqing and the others could handle the demon star outside.
As Ye Xun and I rowed the boat forward, the high wall facing us automatically opened a secret door, revealing a dark waterway. It wasn't until Ye Xun and I rowed the boat into the waterway that the secret door opened. Close again.
The moment the light in the waterway was cut off by the gate, I felt the bottom of the boat vibrate slightly. When I subconsciously lowered my head and looked at the bottom of the boat, the boat was lifted up from the water by eight figures.
Before I had time to react, the ghost figures under the boat used their strength at the same time to throw the boat into the air. We, together with the boat, went up and down, sailed several meters through the air, and then continued to row forward close to the water. go.
Before the boat had rowed very far, it suddenly spun half a circle under the resistance of the river and crossed sideways in the middle of the river.
Ye Xun and I almost fell on the boat under the influence of inertia. When the two of us finally stabilized our bodies, the sound of ghostly figures breaking through the water also came from behind the boat.
I turned around for a moment and saw eight ghostly figures, like white sharks hunting for prey, simultaneously cutting through the water and rushing under our boat.
When Ye Xun and I picked up the oars and looked into the water at the same time, eight ghost figures dived into the water and disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, the ghost figure clung to the side of the ship and broke out of the water. He raised his palms to slap the boat. The paddles of Ye Xun and I were like two long knives, whipping up the strong wind and sweeping towards the top of the ghost figure's head. , the sound of the oar colliding with the head was crackling, and the ghost's palm also hit the bow of the boat.
Under the bombardment of the opponent's palm, the boat spun like a top in the water. Ye Xun and I had to squat down and hold on to the hull tightly to prevent ourselves from falling into the water. However, the boat also completely lost control, spinning wildly and flying into the distance.
When the boat finally stopped, the water in the river suddenly roared. The originally calm waterway turned into a torrent almost without warning. The boat, lifted up by the white waves, seemed to be floating on the water. The stone almost rubbed against the waves and bounced forward rapidly, leaping hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye.
When I supported my body with both hands and raised my head desperately, the white-haired demon star originally sitting on the bow of the boat was like a cotton ball, floating up in the wind dancing in front of us, flying over our heads towards the stern of the boat.
I was about to look back to see where the white-haired demon star was, but out of the corner of my eye I caught sight of a black stone staircase in the center of the river.
The river running beneath our feet poured into the ground from the water channel under the stone steps, but the boat was pushed by the river water and shot towards the stone steps.
The people on the boat couldn't judge whether there were obstacles ahead by the sound of the water flow, and the stone steps across the river were integrated with the surrounding scenery. If it were someone who had not practiced eye skills, they would not be able to detect the existence of the stone steps. The ship could only be destroyed by the violent impact.
"Jump" I stood up suddenly, grabbed Ye Xun and flew away from the ship. I stepped in the air, walked quickly for several meters, and landed on the steps one after another.
As soon as the two of us stood firm, the small boat crashed into the stone platform. Broken wood from the broken ship flew all over the sky. Ye Xun and I also shot at the flying wood blocks at the same time, hitting the broken ship planks. in water.
I had just finished my move when I heard the voice of the white-haired demon star coming from the top of the steps: "The reaction is fast enough, and the eyesight is also good. Unfortunately, my second test question is not to test whether you can see obstacles in the water, but to test whether you can see obstacles in the water. Test whether you can read what is written on the walls on both sides of the river at home?"
Since we entered the river, we have been in danger one after another. Underwater ghosts, monster stars leaving the boat, and the river speeding up one after another are overwhelming. In addition, there is no light in the river. In this case, we want to see what is carved on both sides of the river. Things are as difficult as reaching the sky.
The white-haired demon star really posed a problem for me.
Before I could speak, the voice of the white-haired demon star suddenly dropped: "If you can't pass the assessment, then there is no point in keeping you here!"
As the white-haired demon star spoke, a green flame that looked like a will-o'-the-wisp suddenly shot up in the middle of the stone steps. Under the illumination of the green fire, the white-haired demon star looked down at me and Ye Xun like a ghost. The two of us stood at our feet. The steps were also shaking slightly, and it felt like someone's deadly mechanism was quietly opening under our feet.
Before I had time to lower my head to look at the soles of my feet, I heard a sound of water waves pushing behind me. When I turned around, the water flow in the river had calmed down, and a shadow appeared on the water a few meters away. It seemed like there was something there. What a behemoth is preparing to break out of the water.
Ye Xun and I were surrounded by enemies from both sides. Even if we broke through, we would have to pay a heavy price.
Ye Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the white-haired demon star. Ye Xun's action meant that he was calculating the distance between us and whether he could kill the demon star in the shortest time.
The white-haired demon star sneered: "If you want to fight trapped beasts, you can give it a try."
The white-haired demon star suddenly raised her hand, and green flames on the ground immediately flew out of four fireballs driven by the wind of her palm. They fell on the steps in different directions, like four ghost lamps that illuminated most of the steps. The stairs looked even more strange under the dim green firelight.
The white-haired demon star said solemnly: "You don't have to worry about calculating anything? According to the fire I marked, it is the closest distance. If you want to take action, you'd better hurry up."
I folded my hands in front of my chest and said slowly: "Who said we were going to take action? Isn't there a song "Xia Ke Xing" engraved on the wall?"
The white-haired demon star looked slightly disappointed and said, "Is that all?"
I continued: "The song "Xia Ke Xing" is not only missing four sentences, but also engraved eight characters. The person who did it should be testing whether he has practiced a certain skill. From the handwriting alone, he only practiced It became about triple.”
The white-haired demon star showed surprise on his face: "Is there anything else?"
"The other thing is that that person is very competitive." I said solemnly: "He really wanted to finish carving the entire "Xia Ke Xing", but when he got to the last sentence of "Bai Shou Tai Xuan Jing", he had no energy left. , but he used a cheating method and kicked his feet into the wall to buy himself some time to breathe. Therefore, there is an extra footprint under the Baishou Taixuan Sutra."
The white-haired demon star's eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay! I didn't expect that you are even better than I thought. Let's go to the next level."
"Wait a minute!" I waved to stop the other party, and the white-haired demon star couldn't help but frown: "I will answer your question. I don't need to stand here and talk."
I said calmly: "I want to tell you that you are in trouble. Someone has carved an extra line of words on the wall of the waterway. 'The evil has arrived, and the disaster stars are fighting'."
The white-haired demon star said in shock: "Nonsense! Yinghuo can't sneak in silently, we are on the periphery..."
The white-haired demon star suddenly stopped talking mid-sentence, obviously not wanting me to know their layout outside the castle.
I looked indifferently at the white-haired demon star. The latter quickly let out several strange whistles. Not long after, the same strange whistles came one after another in the secret room.
The white-haired demon star said coldly: "Wang Huan, your joke is not funny at all. Li Xiaomao is still outside, where did Yinghuo come from here?"
I responded calmly: "Are you sure there is only one Yinghuo outside?"
"Fart!" The white-haired demon star couldn't help but shouted angrily: "Yinghuo's lineage is passed down from generation to generation. There can only be one Yinghuo in the world to correspond to the disaster star in the sky."
"Oh, really?" I deliberately pretended to be exaggerated: "So, the Cross Jungle massacred half of the Falcon Adventurers, is it from your Monster Star lineage, right?"
The white-haired demon star suddenly changed his color: "What did you say?"
I dare to conclude that the people who attacked us in the Cross Forest are not the descendants of the demon star.
First, after Li Xiaomao entered the castle, he almost revealed his identity as the successor of Yinghuo. The Yaoxing lineage would naturally focus all their energy on Li Xiaomao.
Second, there is no need for the Demon Star Descendants to spend so much energy to force out someone who should have come to them in the first place.
The person who killed us in the Cross Jungle must be another Yinghuo.
Seeing that I kept silent, the white-haired demon star simply let out a few more long whistles in the distance. After her whistle, I clearly heard the sound of water coming from behind me. Someone should have dived into the water and returned to the river to verify the stone wall. The authenticity of the message is gone.
It didn't take long for two kinds of howls to come from different directions. The white-haired demon star's face changed several times, his feet suddenly hit the ground and he jumped up, speeding past me and Ye Xun, stepping on The water wave rushed into the secret passage.
A few breaths later, the white-haired demon star returned. The skin on her face was still pale and bloodless, but her expression was extremely gloomy: "Wang Huan, please explain to me why Yinghuo appeared in the castle?"
I sneered: "You can't explain things yourself, how can I explain it to you?"
I paused and said, "If you insist on telling me, I can only tell you that I think the person who sneaked in is Arnold."
"Impossible!" the white-haired demon star roared: "How could Yinghuo be a Westerner? Even if she..."
The white-haired Yao Xing couldn't continue speaking in the middle of his words. The secret technique of Yinghuo originally had a method of "transforming".
The so-called "disguise" is more advanced than the "disguise" commonly used by people in the world. Disguise can only change the appearance but not the body shape, so you can only make up to look like someone with a similar body shape to yourself.
Shapeshifting can stretch or shorten bones to imitate the opponent's body shape. However, there are two fatal drawbacks to the shape-shifting technique. One is that the skeleton cannot change too much. In other words, it is impossible for a child to become a strong man easily. The second disadvantage is that after the transformation, the bones will become relatively fragile, so you cannot do it with others, otherwise it will easily break the muscles and fractures.
The white-haired demon star also reacted at this time, and said in a cold voice: "Wang Huan, are you bullying me for not knowing the art of shape-changing? Tell me, how did the petite Yinghuo turn into a tall white man?"
