Bai Ya and Jun Aoyan waited on the shore for less than a quarter of an hour. They were relatively peaceful, and they gave Qi Huan enough face where he couldn't see him. They didn't make any noise or make any fuss. The sky was slightly bright, and there was a faint light on the eastern horizon.
, but not enough to light up the entire sky.
Qi Huan went down without responding for a long time. A quarter of an hour would have exceeded the limit of human breath-holding action.
"Did something happen to him?"
Jun Aoyan poked his head around the seaside. This place was different from the place where they rested before, and was closer to the village. What Bai Ya could recall with his meager memory was probably in this area. It was very dangerous both on the shore and under the sea.
"It's okay. If he is eaten by Yasha, there will be blood bubbles coming out." Bai Ya kicked Qi Huan's shirt with the toe of his shoe and pointed to a random location on the sea, "Probably in that area."
"Can't you just hope for something better?"
"There's nothing to look forward to. We agreed that if he doesn't come up in two-quarters of an hour, we'll treat him as drowned and leave. As for whether to kill everyone in this village and rob them all, or risk crossing that area and risk our lives."
Let’s see who among us can beat the other in the forest.”
Of course they can divide their forces into two groups, which for Bai Ya is equivalent to disregarding Aoyan's life and death. In fact, can he do it? It's hard to say. Qi Huan bets that he won't, otherwise he wouldn't care about Aoyan in the first place.
The injury. If Qi Huan really has any shortcomings, they should unite. In this environment, trying to survive alone in the Nine Heavens Kingdom is nothing more than a dream.
They waited for a while, and it dawned very quickly. But at this time, there was some noise on the coastline, which made the two of them alert at the same time. Bai Ya hooked up Qi Huan's clothes and grabbed them in his hand, and held Wan tightly with his other hand.
Knife, staring at the source of the sound warily.
"Let's go quickly." Jun Aoyan grabbed his arm, "Maybe Yaksha reported to the villagers and came to arrest us."
"Why are you panicking? Come and chop one, or two and chop a pair."
"Didn't I say not to kill innocent people indiscriminately?"
"Innocent? How are they innocent?"
"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, let's go!"
Jun Aoyan pulled him hard, and he almost staggered, and was dragged away with a curse. The ground in this area was wet rocks instead of sand, which hid their whereabouts very well. The two hid on the shore.
Further away, it was not safe here, and it was only a matter of time before he was discovered. In comparison, they were more worried that Qi Huan would bubble up from the water at this time and catch them.
"We have to go back to where we were before." Bai Ya suddenly said.
"Why? There's still some way there. If Yaksha really reports the news, they will definitely go there."
Jun Aoyan exposed half of his head from a high place and looked at the menacing villagers. Many people came, mainly young people, all holding rakes and harpoons in their hands, with evil faces. But with these tools, naturally they could not be reconciled.
Their swords competed with each other. If they just started fighting here, if they didn't master the strength well, someone would be injured or killed. At that time, this would become another bloody case that they said the Lord God was using to brainwash them. It would be really troublesome.
"Our things are all there, let's move them out quickly. They are moving forward while looking for people, we are faster."
"……good."
The two of them bent over dejectedly and ran away like thieves from the stone ditch on the side. Not long after, they returned to the previous camp, where there was no Yasha guarding it yet. This was very strange, because there were so many Yashas, so they went to notify
The villagers on the other side went ashore to pursue them, forming a trap, and there were still people to deal with the aftermath. Wouldn't it be perfect? But Yasha didn't appear for a long time, and I don't know why.
When Jun Aoyan came to pick up her things, she was still worried about whether a trap had been set and whether there were ambushes around her. She stretched out her Mo Dao and waved it around the pile of bundles, then walked over at Bai Ya's urging. While packing her things
, Jun Aoyan raised this doubt.
"As you've seen, it's not that they can't be killed, they're just difficult to kill. And they have very strong resilience, so we can't carry out fatal attacks on them in a short time. But at the same time, our offense will hinder them - we also
It’s not easy to deal with. If I were an envoy who pretended to be a god, it would be embarrassing for the believers to see me in such a mess.”
"...You may be right." Jun Aoyan still hesitated, "But I think there might be other reasons?"
"Don't think about it, move the things quickly and take them to the nearest forest."
Just as he was talking, another figure suddenly appeared on the beach. Bai Ya reflexively threw out the knife. The shadow immediately bent back, and the white scimitar circled against him, then turned back and returned to Bai Ya.
Ya's hand. The man almost stopped standing, waving his arms vigorously to maintain balance, and then stood firm.
"What are you doing! Killing!"
"Oh, you're still alive." Bai Ya glanced at the large amount of water plants wrapped around Qi Huan's body, "We thought you were drowning and were preparing to pack up and run away."
"Who are you!" Qi Huan walked towards them, pulling on the greengill grass on his body, "Hiccup... hold the clothes for me first. Oh, it's true, no one has ever told me that this seaweed is so tough.
I gave it - burp! I tied it into rice dumplings for them. If they didn't rely on eating grass to get air, I'm afraid they would be drowned, drowned - burp, and die. Hey, I worked so hard to get it, why are you running away...
belch--"
"Move your position first, the villagers are chasing us."
After hearing this, Qi Huan hurriedly followed them. He burped while running along the way, and the two of them really suspected that he was eating this thing.
He roughly hid the luggage in a shallow hole under a tree, and Jun Aoyan pulled some branches and leaves to cover it. Qi Huan asked Bai Ya to cut off the gill-like parts with a machete, and divided them equally between the two people.
He took some. He consumed a very long greengill, and now it became bare. Qi Huan circled the seaweed in the middle with his wrist and said to them:
"You grab the head and the tail, so that they won't be easily scattered in the sea."
"Then what?" Bai Ya looked at him like a fool, "One of them sinks to the bottom, and the other two are on his back?"
"Don't you have a knife? Let's cut it!"
Speaking of this, the two of them suddenly looked at the Mo Dao in Jun Aoyan's hand at the same time. This is indeed a bit difficult to handle. It is very heavy. I don't know if it can come up after it goes down.
"I will not part with my knife," she said.
"Okay. If it's too heavy, I won't show mercy."
Bai Ya held one end of the main stem of seaweed and waved it in front of her eyes, wrapping his hand around it a few times.
There was no way to go further. But they circled back to the village, and it was indeed sparsely populated. It seemed that in order to capture the three of them, the village really mobilized a large number of troops. Without any preparation, Bai Ya plunged into the water.
The two people at the top were caught before they could react.
He pulled down the seaweed in his hand. The sweet and fishy smell of the seaweed still stuck to his teeth, and his stomach was rumbling with gas. A stream of small bubbles overflowed from his nasal cavity, and his slightly bloated stomach was gradually increasing as the water pressure increased.
It becomes uncomfortable. But there is no way, everyone is the same, I can only endure it.
Bai Ya kept waving the knife tentatively in front, as if he was trying to find out something. The three people who took off their coats and soft armor were all wearing white linings and were floating and swaying in the water. From a distance, they looked like three people on the same side.
Jellyfish in a straight line. Jun Aoyan can't swim, but as long as there are greengills around, he can move around in the water without dying.
They kept swimming and swimming through a gorgeous coral forest. It was already dawn, the light could shine on this place, and the breathtaking scenery came into view. Bai Ya couldn't see clearly before, but now he can't see it clearly.
There was no time to appreciate it. He continued to lead the three-man team forward. The light was getting darker and darker.
The seafloor extends deeper. Sometimes, there are obvious steep cliffs, and sometimes the terrain rises. But in general, it goes down. A long and dense seagrass appears in front, which is the limit of what light can reach.
.The warm light has become cooler at this time, perhaps because the seawater has filtered the temperature.
Everything around them was dim, gloomy, and cold. The pressure made their eardrums ache, and a low and continuous sound could be heard coming from unknown directions. Is this the scenery the two of them had seen before? Jun Aoyan felt
It was very uncomfortable. If she had come once, she would definitely not want to come a second time. It had nothing to do with whether she could swim. But they finally chose to come down for her, which made her feel an indescribable feeling in her heart.
At this time, something strange came from the wound. She looked down at the scratches. They had become very clean. Those dark things had been dissolved in the water at some point, and no new mucus emerged. Although
It didn't sting or itch, but she always felt as if the muscles deeper in the wound didn't belong to her. They were vibrating regularly, but they didn't match the frequency of her heartbeat. She stretched out her hand to touch it, and some tiny bubbles seeped out from the wound.
Don't know where it came from.
This is the limit that people can dive, maybe a little deeper, just within the maximum endurance range of these three martial arts practitioners. Bai Ya pointed at the seabed with his knife, and the gray-white seabed was already far away from them. Qi Huan
He leaned over to take a look, but saw nothing. Maybe it was too dark. The knife was also black and could hardly be seen. So he shook his head, meaning that he couldn't see it.
But Bai Ya also shook his head. Then, he pointed the knife farther into the sea.
Qi Huan gestured.
Your knife isn't here?
It was originally here.
Was that taken away by Yaksha?
Yes. Further away.
Qi Huan frowned, not knowing what to do for a moment. He wanted to ask how far away it was and how long it would take, but he couldn't fully convey what he meant in the water - they hadn't reached this level of tacit understanding yet. And Bai Ya
It's hard to answer everything with gestures, and maybe even Qi Huan didn't understand. This is good, it fulfills their wish to find Yasha's underwater lair. If the black scimitar is brought to their lair, give them a pot of it.
.
They had to tell Aoyan the situation. The two of them turned around slowly in the water and were about to give Aoyan a sign, but they were stunned at the same time.
This is indeed a shocking scene - the wounds on Jun Aoyan's side seem to have expanded and deepened. They are obviously opening and closing, and large and small bubbles are constantly emerging from the wounds. Some black liquid is still there,
It just melted into the water quickly, and they still don't know what it was. It's just that those black parts stained the bubbles, making their color look very turbid.
At the same time, another feeling of discomfort deepened. All three of them could feel that from a certain moment on, they were being stared at by other eyes. Other fish and shrimps would only avoid them, and no creature would keep their eyes on them.
They kept pursuing it. Maybe it started in the seaweed, maybe later. But the feeling of being watched all the time was very obvious, so obvious that they firmly believed that it was not an illusion. However, the owner of those eyes never took action.
Looking at the shocked two people, Jun Aoyan finally realized a terrible fact.
——She hasn’t breathed out through her nose for a long time.
