Zhao Changhe did not go far, and even left his Wuzhui in Li Si'an's caravan without taking it with him.
Not far south of the town along the edge of Erhai Lake, he jumped into the sea and took a good bath before doing anything else.
After all, I'm about to meet Hong Ling, and I feel embarrassed to be so stinky.
This place is called the sea, but it is actually a big lake. The water is extremely pure and it is very comfortable to wash. The only problem is that the grass next to it smells like cow dung, which makes people wonder if they will get something on their body that they shouldn’t get on when washing...
Li Si'an is such a jerk. He said that once you get into the town, you can wash however you want, but in the end you still can't. In the end, you still have to go outside to wash yourself.
Huh…
Just as he was thinking this, he felt the dragon bird in the ring tremble slightly, and the thought that came to him was a distant memory that he hadn't heard for a long time: Who is this villain, coveting my body!
Murder alert!
Since I got the Dragon Bird, it has only manifested a few times in the early days, and the most critical one was the assassination by Wan Dongliu. I have never encountered such an assassination since then, and I have always faced the enemy head-on, and I no longer need the Dragon Bird to warn me. Ordinary malicious intent, with my current sharp five senses, is enough for me to detect it myself.
I didn't expect that today, when I was in the incarnation of the king, I would have this long-lost experience again. This must be a spying outside the range of my five senses, and my strength is not enough to detect it.
That is... the bow and arrow!
Zhao Changhe suddenly kicked his legs and jumped several feet into the water.
At the same time, a bowstring made a sound, and an arrow came from nowhere, carrying a violent spiral of energy, narrowly passing by and piercing the place where he had just taken a bath.
"Splash!" Water rushed up into the sky, and Zhao Changhe swirled up, trying to get ashore.
It's hard to move in the water. If there are more arrows, it's hard to say whether you can dodge them. You have to stand on the ground. Li Si'an's casual talk of swinging a pendulum to fight with others is actually coming true...
"Swoosh!" As the man jumped out of the water, the second arrow had already hit his chest.
Zhao Changhe took out the ancient sword Dragon King from his ring and barely deflected the arrow, but his palm suddenly felt numb and he couldn't use the force to float back, so he fell back into the water.
Zhao Changhe's heart trembled. It wasn't that the opponent's archery skills were so strong, but it seemed that he was weak!
No wonder he had the confidence to assassinate "Earth List King Daozhong". At this moment, there is no Earth List.
But when I looked inside, I couldn't find any problem. It was neither injury nor poisoning.
This water is not poisonous. Besides, it is foolish to talk about toxicity without considering the dosage. This is a big lake like the sea. What kind of poison can still work in the sea? There is no such poison in the world. It goes against common sense.
So this is…
Witchcraft
"Swoosh!" Another arrow came, Zhao Changhe pushed it away again and dived down urgently. It felt like each arrow was heavier than the last, but in fact he was getting weaker and weaker. If he went down again, he would not be able to push it away at all. He had to dive deeper, as the opponent's arrow would also be affected by the water resistance and he would not be able to aim.
But as he was diving, he felt several other figures attacking him from the bottom of the water, dividing the water silently and coldly.
Zhao Changhe turned around and rushed out of the encirclement like a fish before the other party could surround him. At the same time, a mirror appeared in his hand, reflecting his own body.
"..." The besiegers almost laughed out loud. In this tense moment of escaping, someone actually took out a mirror to look at his face. Did he want to see how handsome he would be before he died? You can't see yourself in the deep water at night!
However, in Zhao Changhe's eyes, the mirror could really reflect things... He could see that his forehead was dark, and there were wisps of strange black air emanating from it, lingering and entwining it, and his muscles and blood were visibly decaying and withering.
The treasure of the Cui family, the Qinghe Mirror... I didn't expect to need its power so soon.
From what I saw in the mirror, I thought it was a poisonous insect that invaded the water, but it seems not to be a curse. I don't know what it relied on as a fuse, and it cast a weak curse. Miaojiang is weird and it is really hard to guard against.
The source of its action is in… the heart.
It would be good if there is no limit to the Dantian Qi.
Zhao Changhe suddenly tilted his head, and the water-dividing spear from behind pierced past his cheek. Zhao Changhe grabbed the opponent's wrist and twisted it violently.
With a sound of dislocated bones, Zhao Changhe kicked the opponent in the abdomen and rushed forward several feet again, using the Rejuvenation Technique to fully activate the heart and blood vessels.
The Rejuvenation Technique is not a healing technique, but a revival at the level of laws. This curse, which is based on unknown factors, can only cause a slight degree of weakness. It is not beyond the scope of the Rejuvenation Technique. Zhao Changhe clearly feels that his energy and blood are recovering, and the black energy is gradually being removed.
Who said the Berserker's healing skill is useless? This is quite useful. You can fight and heal at the same time, and others don't even know it.
The key is to find the root of the problem. If you can't find the root, nothing will work. Lao Cui's mirror is very interesting...
Several water-dividing thorns cut through the bottom of the water, attacking Zhao Changhe from front to back, left to right. Zhao Changhe suddenly stretched out his left hand to grab the stab from the left, and with a pull, threw him backwards, hitting the one attacking from behind. At the same time, his right hand pulled over the blocker on the right, and with a knee, hit the bull.
The man lost his voice and was about to scream, but the lake water gurgled into him and he instantly lost his ability to fight.
"Swoosh!" An arrow shot down from above.
Zhao Changhe grabbed the unlucky guy on his right hand and lifted him up. The arrow was already blocked when it entered the water, and was blocked by the meat shield, making it no longer a threat. Zhao Changhe paddled upwards again, and his head popped out of the water.
An archer was standing on a piece of floating wood on the water, aiming down. When he saw Zhao Changhe's head suddenly pop out, he was obviously startled.
“Swish!”
The Dragon Emperor unsheaths his sword, and the green dragon emerges from the water.
An overwhelming amount of sword energy suddenly erupted, and the archer's body was covered with blood holes, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
Someone in the forest in the distance cried out in surprise, and shot another arrow like a meteor, hoping to find an opportunity when "Wang Daozhong" had not yet gained new strength.
Zhao Changhe quickly spun up, the arrow grazed his right shoulder, leaving a trail of blood. He then stepped on a driftwood, flew away from the lake, and chased into the forest.
There were only flying birds in the forest, no one was seen.
When he looked back again, the lake was pitch black and the water ghost below had disappeared to who knows where. Zhao Changhe breathed slightly and looked at the clear lake water. It was like looking into the mouth of a dark giant beast and he did not dare to go into the water to look for it.
The tiny wound on his arm that had just been grazed by the arrow was more painful than any serious tear. He looked down and saw black blood gushing out. The arrow was highly poisonous.
He used the Rejuvenation Technique once again to eliminate the poison, but it was actually quite difficult. The level of the poison was so high that his half-baked Rejuvenation Technique was almost not enough, let alone the basic poison resistance of the Six Harmonies Divine Art that he could withstand.
Zhao Changhe took out a new set of clothes from his ring, put them on, escaped into the forest, hid behind a rock, and quietly recuperated, waiting for dawn.
I didn't dare walk around at night.
It seemed like it had been a long time since I had experienced such a thrilling experience since I returned from the Great Wall. In just a few breaths, it was like I had walked through the gates of hell and back.
"Interesting." Zhao Changhe slowly drained the poisonous blood from his arm, applied medicine, and suddenly laughed.
This feeling is really exciting, no less than the feeling of charging into battle with thousands of troops.
The world is so big, and there are so many different arts. It is not possible to do whatever you want just by showing off your status on the Earth Ranking or the Human Ranking. No wonder Lei Ao did not feel the same awe as the Earth Ranking when facing "Wang Dao Zhong".
So was he the one responsible for this assassination
If so, why did he do that
If not, then who was it... Shi Wuding? But Shi Wuding himself didn't do anything... It's not very likely.
Zhao Changhe pondered for a moment and decided to return to Xizhou.
Regardless of whether it was Lei Ao or not, his so-called leaving this place was just a pretense to prevent Shi Wuding from finding him. Yue Hongling was here, so why should he run to Cangshan
It would be better to turn back and find a place to squat, so that you can observe Shi Wuding and see if Lei Ao is up to something.
As I was thinking this, a warning sign suddenly arose in my heart.
Under the moonlight, the faint sound of a flute came from nowhere, sobbing and complaining.
As the flute sounded, there was a rustling sound all around. Looking around, countless poisonous snakes had surrounded him at some point. Countless green eyes were staring at him, and the snakes' tongues were spitting out tiny particles, which was extremely creepy under the moonlight.
Zhao Changhe's hair stood on end, and just as he was about to take off into the air, countless poisonous snakes hung upside down from above him, like the long hair of trees. The sky was filled with poisonous smoke, and he didn't dare to rush in without knowing the details.
Zhao Changhe's upward momentum suddenly stopped and he fell back to the ground.
A silver bell-like chuckle came: "Langya Wang is still quite capable. I don't know how to break the curse and remove the poison... Tsk tsk, I'm really curious. Can you eat some more snake venom?"
Although the scene is eerie and ghostly, that charming and gentle laugh is like ripples in your heart, alluring and captivating, just like a lover whispering, asking you to do something very fun.
Even if a true king from the Earth Ranking were to be here, he would probably find this place too weird to be a good place for safety.
But Zhao Changhe rolled his eyes instead, and simply leaned back against the stone with his arms folded, closing his eyes to rest: "Snake venom is not interesting, but I haven't seen your snake waist for a long time. When can I see it again?"
The sound was no longer a deliberate imitation of the king's voice, but returned to its original tone.
The laughter stopped, and it became suspicious: "How could it be you? Is your disguise skill so good?"
Zhao Changhe said angrily, "What I can't imagine is that you are pretending to be Yue Hongling in Miaojiang! It was you who assassinated the envoy in the evening, wasn't it?"
The masterpiece "The Strange Story of Immortality" is finished, I recommend it
