On the calm river surface, water pillars shot up from time to time. Huge merchant ships kept swaying on the water surface. Everyone could not see the situation under the water surface. They could only watch the fierce battle and worry, not knowing what to do. good.
On the clear river water, bursts of blood suddenly appeared. The crowd exclaimed: "There is so much blood, I don't know whose it belongs to."
"This black tuna whale is not stupid either. He dragged the three of them to the bottom of the water to fight from the very beginning. The fighting in the water was very detrimental to the three of them!"
"Yes, in terms of strength, when three peak warriors face off against a sixth-level peak spiritual beast, the outcome should be 50-50. But now that they are underwater, the winning rate of the three of them is probably only 40%."
"How about we go down and help. If they die, the bluefin whale will definitely not let us go."
"Okay, you go down first, I'll go down right away."
"Why don't you go down first? Ask me to go down. Let's go down together."
Everyone quarreled and said they wanted to go down to help, but after arguing for a long time, no one dared to go down. The strength of these people is just ordinary low-level martial masters. Many of them are only at the peak of great martial masters. They really don't have the courage to go on.
More people actually think that both sides will suffer losses, which is the best result for them. There is no need for them to take action and the crisis has passed, so they are all waiting and watching.
Among the crowd, Liu Suifeng's face was extremely anxious, but he was afraid that he would cause trouble to Xiao Chen after he went down, so he could only hesitate.
Bang bang bang!
Above the water, three loud noises suddenly sounded, but Xiao Chen and the others broke out of the water. A black spot in the distance quickly swam forward, with continuous blood flowing everywhere they passed.
The three of them had a fight underwater. Although they injured the bluefin whale, they had no choice but to let it go if they wanted to prevent each other from escaping in the water.
"Thank you for your help, little friend." An old man raised his hands to Xiao Chen and said in a respectful tone.
The world of warriors is like this. As long as you have the corresponding strength, no matter your age, the other party will treat you with courtesy. This person had just seen Xiao Chen's strength underwater, and his tone was much more respectful than before.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said: "It's just a little effort. I just want to hone my martial arts skills."
Another old man smiled and said: "Haha, little friend, you are so polite. In any case, you have done a great favor to our Chamber of Commerce. The ship owner will thank you very much later."
After the two old men finished speaking, they jumped onto the bow of the ship again and informed the ship owner that the crisis was over and they could start again.
Xiao Chen looked at the wounded blue tuna whale and felt a little pity. In fact, if he wanted to chase it now. Xiao Chen was also sure of catching him, but if the opponent sank to the bottom of the water, it would be really troublesome for Xiao Chen to deal with him alone.
It's a waste of time and the gain outweighs the loss, just think about it.
He jumped onto the bow of the ship again, and not long after, a man came over and took Xiao Chen and the two of them directly into the cabin. The owner of the merchant ship was polite, handed over a thousand lower-level spirit stones to Xiao Chen, and asked someone to arrange a bed room for each of them.
Xiao Chen felt comfortable taking a thousand low-level spirit stones. The effort he put in was definitely worthy of the price.
After the captain walked away, Liu Suifeng sighed: "Yesterday, you told me that there were no vacancies, and today there were two available. It seems that you have to be strong wherever you go."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said nothing. It would be great if Liu Suifeng had such an understanding. After going out this time, he would probably spend more time practicing in the future.
The room in the cabin was no different from an ordinary hotel room. Xiao Chen sat on the bed and entered the cultivation state directly.
Nearly ten days have passed since going down the mountain. During these ten days, Xiao Chen fought almost every day and gained something.
He had gained a lot from the battle just under the water, and decided to take advantage of this opportunity to upgrade his cultivation level to the peak of the low-level martial arts, and then attack the fourth level of the Dragon and Tiger Body Shaping Technique.
For three days, Xiao Chen basically stayed in the room. During this period, Liu Suifeng asked him to go out for some fresh air several times, but he refused.
At the critical moment, Xiao Chen didn't want to waste time and had to endure loneliness.
Everything!
There was a knock on the door, and Liu Suifeng said: "Ye Chen, we are about to go ashore. I'll wait for you on the bow of the boat."
Xiao Chen opened his eyes, and there was a flash of light in his eyes. In the house, purple electric current was running around, Zizi kept thinking.
Xiao Chen reached out and made a move, and all the electricity immediately gathered into his right hand, forming a burning thunder and lightning flame with a flick.
A vase placed on the table made a muffled bang and was blown into a pile of powder by thunder and fire, which fell on the wooden table.
Xiao Chen stood up, casually waved a gust of wind from his palm, blew away the powder, and said lightly: "I have finally reached the peak of the low-grade martial arts, and I am getting better and better at controlling the Purple Thunder True Fire."
"It's just the fourth level of the Dragon and Tiger Body Shaping Technique. It will take some time to complete it. It can't be done overnight. It will probably be completed when the auction is over."
Pushing open the door, Xiao Chen slowly walked to the bow of the ship, and soon found Liu Suifeng's figure.
Liu Suifeng heard the footsteps and looked back. He found that the feeling Xiao Chen gave him had strengthened a little again. He said in surprise: "Ye Chen, has your cultivation level increased again?"
Xiao Chen nodded and said: "We have reached the peak of low-grade martial arts. It will be a bit difficult to advance again in a short period of time."
After reaching the cultivation level of Wuzun, each small realm promotion will be extremely difficult. The difficulty of promotion from low-level Wuzun Dao to mid-level Wuzun is not much different from the previous promotion of large realms.
Liu Suifeng suppressed his words and said, "I really don't know how you practice. This speed is too terrifying."
Xiao Chen replied: "In addition to talent and cultivation techniques, necessary experience and hard work are indispensable. Haven't you noticed that your cultivation has actually improved a bit since you came out this time?"
"Then you need to be able to endure loneliness. When others are intoxicated with all kinds of desires, you can seize the time to practice, and the speed will naturally become faster."
Liu Suifeng felt slightly embarrassed. Knowing that Xiao Chen was talking about him, he quickly changed the subject and said, "We'll reach Xihe City in half a day's walk after we get to the port in front."
Xiao Chen looked in the direction of his finger. It was a bustling and tense port, with ships coming and going from time to time. The shore was much more lively than the previous port.
An endless stream of people walked on it, and the noisy sound reached Xiao Chen's ears from a long distance away.
Xiao Chen suddenly asked curiously: "Where is the final end of the Black Dragon River?"
Liu Suifeng was no stranger to this and explained: "Xihe Mansion is already on the edge of the Qin Kingdom. After the Black Dragon River passes through Xihe Mansion, it will flow through the ancient land, where there are tributaries that can go to other countries. The final destination is the endless sea to the west.”
The endless sea? Xiao Chen's heart moved. The river drawn on the sketch could not be the Black Dragon River. If the destination is the Endless Sea, it would be very similar.
"We're here, let's go get the horses first."
Liu Suifeng's voice interrupted Xiao Chen's thinking, and he had to give up the idea temporarily. Holding the dragon blood horse, they slowly walked off the bow. The two immediately got on their horses and hurried towards Xihe City.
After half a day's journey, the outline of a majestic city wall first appeared in the two people's field of vision. The city wall was a hundred meters high and the length could not be seen at a glance.
Xiao Chen had seen the city of Dongming Mansion before, and it was so magnificent, so he didn't have much experience. After paying the entrance fee, he entered the city smoothly.
The streets in Xihe City are extremely wide, and there are special carriage paths and sidewalks, so even though there are many people, the two of them riding horses on them did not seem too crowded.
After asking about the nearest inn, the two of them ran straight there. After tying their horses outside, they walked in towards the gate.
"Liu Shang Pavilion." Xiao Chen looked at the signboard of the inn and smiled slightly. He didn't expect that there is also a branch of Liu Shang Pavilion here. He seemed to have a VIP card, so he had a chance to use it.
Perhaps because of the large-scale auction, the restaurant's business was very booming. The first floor was full, the second floor was still full of tables, and there were still some people waiting in line.
Liu Suifeng said helplessly: "It seems that we can only change to another hotel. You need a VIP card to go up to the third floor of Liushang Pavilion."
Xiao Chen smiled and said: "No, let's go to the third floor. I happen to have a VIP card for this restaurant."
Xiao Chen took out his VIP card and looked at the person guarding in front of the third floor. The person immediately greeted Xiao Chen and Xiao Chen respectfully, with an extremely humble attitude.
Because the VIP card Xiao Chen took out was of the highest level and could directly go to the fifth floor of Liushang Pavilion. Anyone with such a VIP card had an extraordinary status.
Liu Suifeng said unexpectedly: "It's really Liushang Pavilion's VIP card. How did you get it? This thing is not easy to get."
Xiao Chen smiled and said: "This restaurant is owned by that damn fat guy. For him, a VIP card is just a piece of cake."
But the two of them seemed to have some bad luck. There were still no empty tables on the third floor. Xiao Chen took a quick glance and said, "Let's go to the fourth floor. I don't believe it's so difficult to even have a meal."
Showing their VIP cards, the two of them arrived at the fourth floor. The fourth floor was different from the third floor. They were all in separate compartments, which made them look much cleaner.
I called the waiter, and finally got a reply this time, and there was still an empty cubicle.
"Wait a minute, I want this cubicle." Just when the waiter was about to rush over with Xiao Chen and the other two, a discordant voice came from behind them.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, turned around and saw a group of young people wearing black clothes. There were five men and women in total. Four white snowflakes were embroidered on the chests of the clothes.
This is the symbol of Yehan Palace. Black represents night and snowflakes symbolize cold. The four snowflakes are embroidered by the talents of the core disciples.
The leader of the group had a stern expression and a majestic weapon. He had a long sword at his waist. When he saw the waistbands of Xiao Chen and Xiao Chen, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
When the waiter saw this person, his expression changed slightly and he said: "Master Shi, this is not good, this compartment has been promised to them."
The man smiled faintly, walked straight forward, and said without looking back: "You haven't gone in yet? I'll treat them to this meal. We'll talk about it after we finish eating. You go and get ready."
The tone was very indifferent, and Xiao Chen was ignored as if they were nothing.
