() Feeling the cold water of the underground river flowing rapidly backward, Li Ling was secretly glad that after receiving cell enhancement, he could not have to breathe oxygen for a long time. Otherwise, in this underground river, even if there was no Taotie, he would have returned to the west long ago.
.
Li Ling silently recited the mantra of Yuxu Returning Qi, guiding his mind to gradually calm down, his thinking to gradually slow down, and his heart rate to be kept at 60 beats per minute, so that he could feel the flow of time.
After Li Ling calmed down, he frowned slightly, and suddenly a plan came to his mind. Since he was in an underground river in the desert, there should be a high probability of passing by the underground river if he followed the underground water flow here.
The river on the ground, maybe, the area around the river on the ground is an oasis that he has passed through.
In that way, Li Ling can walk again based on the path he has taken.
Of course, Li Ling didn't have a watch at the moment. In order to accurately calculate the elapsed time, he deliberately calmed his mind and used his heartbeat frequency to remember how much time had passed.
Although this method may produce a certain degree of error, it is now the only way to calculate time.
If we can successfully reach the oasis near the river on the ground within a day and a half, with Li Ling's cell-enhanced movement speed, we won't have to worry about being able to introduce Taotie into Zihuo's spaceship even if it's hundreds of miles away.
within.
However, you may encounter tourists in the desert along the way, which may cause some disturbance. However, you don’t have to worry too much. After all, Li Ling and Taotie move very fast, and even if there are people, they probably won’t be able to see them.
The shadows of the two people are clear.
The decision was made, Li Ling relied on the rapid current around him, slid his palms in the water, turned around, and swam downstream at high speed with the current, because Li Ling himself swam extremely fast, and at this moment, he was swimming downstream again.
And down, the speed in the water is as fast as lightning. With just one breath, he is already a hundred meters away. The speed is so fast that no submarine can match it.
Taotie was still devouring the underwater rocks. When he suddenly turned around and took a look, he was surprised to find that Li Ling, who was heading downstream, was already several thousand meters away. In anger, he slapped his giant paw in the water, causing thousands of bubbles to form.
Then he flapped his wings and chased after Li Ling.
Li Ling knew that Taotie was chasing him from behind, and he felt a little bit of excitement and fighting spirit in his heart. However, Li Ling finally managed to get a little distance from Taotie by taking advantage of the downstream flow, and was caught up by Taotie in an instant.
followed in the current more than a hundred meters behind.
A few seconds later, when Taotie was still ten feet away from Li Ling, his wings flapped violently in the water, bubbles surged, the water surged, and he activated three water swords, which flew towards Li Ling.
.
Li Ling felt the water pressure behind his back. He turned his head and looked back. Suddenly, three water swords came at him. His heart was frightened. He knelt down with his feet on one side of his waist and flexibly changed his movement. The three water swords whirred and one after another.
It passed by Li Ling's abdomen with a crash, and the other two passed by Li Ling's back and waist. The level of thrill was so high that Li Ling almost screamed. The three water swords passed by Li Ling and hit him.
It hit the stone wall in front and penetrated directly through the stone wall with a loud bang. Its power was even more arrogant than a torpedo.
"Damn, it's so dangerous." Li Ling almost sweated underwater.
In order not to be overtaken by Taotie and to leave the underground river with Taotie, Li Ling kept relying on Gao Xuchao's swimming skills underwater, turning left and right, floating up and down, and taking advantage of the flexibility of his body's muscles.
Techniques to put distance between you and Taotie.
After all, Taotie has a huge body and is as stiff as iron. When underwater, he relies entirely on the two black wings on his back as propellers to glide through the water. Therefore, every glide is a very straight line, with almost no other
The trajectory is negligible, so dodging gluttons is the same as dodging bullets.
Having grasped this little disadvantage of Taotie swimming, Li Ling took advantage of it with peace of mind. He swam left and right in the water, floated up and down shallowly, even if he didn't follow the normal route, he still behaved like Taotie.
It was angry again and again, roaring and slapping its claws in the water, constantly swallowing rocks and hitting rock formations.
For a moment, Taotie, who had the upper hand in the water just now, seemed to be led by Li Ling.
Li Ling found a way to deal with Taotie underwater, and the more he used it, the more flexible he became. He could almost completely avoid every underwater impact of Taotie, and he could take Taotie underground without having a direct conflict with Taotie.
The river flows in temporary circles.
Just like this, Li Ling swam left and right along the current, Taotie vibrating its wings and rushing back and forth, churning the entire underground river with huge waves and huge movements.
After a long time, the fight between Li Ling and Taotie became more and more intense, but finally a faint light appeared in front of them, and a trace of bright light came in from under the water. Although the light was extremely weak, the presence of bright light proved that
There is sunshine ahead. If there is sunshine, it means we are about to reach the ground.
"Since I entered this underground river, my heart has beat 11,100 times. According to the heart rate of 60 beats per second, I have been in the river for thirty hours." Li Ling calculated the time with the help of his wonderful energy and heart rate.
, I feel happy in my heart. The reason why I am happy is because the light ahead indicates the exit of the underground river to the above-ground river.
With the exit, you can take Taotie with you and see the sun again.
At the same time, something terrible happened at this moment. Taotie, who had been chasing behind him, no longer relied on his wings to flap the water to hit Li Ling. Instead, he suddenly became quiet and stood motionless at the bottom of the river.
Li Ling floated in the water and settled in the river. He vaguely felt something was wrong. What was this Taotie doing when he suddenly stopped attacking? Moreover, if Taotie didn't follow, Li Ling wouldn't be able to leave alone.
Returning to the Purple Fire Spaceship with Taotie is the main purpose of the mission.
While both of them paused, Li Ling quietly observed Taotie's every move at this moment.
The Taotie at the bottom of the river below gradually retracted its body. The surrounding water seemed to become thicker, and the flow speed gradually became slower. At the same time, a strange dark power emitted from Taotie's body surrounding it.
The Taotie kept shrinking.
The dark power was like black electric snakes. Strange bubbles appeared in the water around the squeaking electric snakes. Those bubbles rushed upward like raindrops, rising out of the water as if they were boiling.
"What is this?" Li Ling's eyes showed a glint, and he looked down at the strange black arcs surrounding Taotie's body in surprise.
The impact of those black arcs was such that even Li Ling, who was several hundred meters away from Taotie, could feel the changes in the viscosity of the surrounding water flow. The water flow really had a particularly strong numbing effect.
It's like water carrying electricity.
Although Li Ling's body was slightly numb after being electrocuted by the water, his strengthened cells would not lose the ability to move under such a weak current. However, what exactly did these black electric snakes beating around Taotie's body have?
What kind of power, and what is the purpose of Taotie releasing these black electric snakes?
Suddenly, a very ominous omen flowed through Li Ling's heart. It was as if a disaster was imminent.
This Taotie...could it be...that he was going to evolve again?
It won't be like this. Li Ling was secretly shocked. If this was the case, then Taotie, who had already evolved once, would be even more powerful than the current Taotie after evolving again. By then, let alone whether Li Ling could hold Taotie back.
After half a day, Taotie's power after his second evolution was enough to destroy Li Ling.
"No, we can't let Taotie evolve successfully. Otherwise, I will really be doomed." Li Ling's uneasiness became more and more intense, and his eyes were full of worry. After all, Taotie's power is indeed frightening.
After the second evolution, Taotie cannot be described as strong.
Once Taotie successfully evolves for the second time, even the cell-enhanced Li Ling will only end up being abused.
It is also because of Taotie that the flow rate of the surrounding water is getting slower and slower. The power of the dark electric snake has affected the entire underground river from a small area.
Damn, what a terrifying power this is.
Li Ling clenched his fists, and the veins on his arms popped out. He had no idea what to do, so he could only concentrate all his powerful strength on his right arm, preparing to give Taotie the most powerful blow at the critical moment in the middle of Taotie's second evolution.
This attack really carries the risk of failure or failure.
Taotie also seemed to be aware of Li Ling's unusual movements above him, as well as the fluctuations in power preparing to attack, but Taotie just curled up and remained silent, instead focusing on his own secondary evolution.
Li Ling knew that time was very tight, so he threw his fists back to his waist, swaying like a snake, his legs quickly squatted up and down in the water, and swam against the current like an arrow from a string, toward the Taotie below.
But the closer he got to Taotie at the bottom of the river, the more he felt the pressure of the water around him.
No wonder the water flow around Taotie will become thicker and the flow speed will slow down. With such pressure, how can the speed of the water flow be so fast?
Just when Li Ling was about ten meters away from the bottom of the river, the powerful electric arc generated by the black electric snakes surrounding the water flow could directly paralyze all the nerves in Li Ling's body. Even Li Ling's cells were strengthened.
In an instant, he lost the ability to move, and his body spasmed and stopped swimming. The enhanced buoyancy pushed Li Ling upwards.
Li Ling opened his eyes wide and was secretly frightened. However, after surfacing dozens of meters, the numbness around his body became slightly better and he regained some mobility. Li Ling turned over and swam while thinking in his mind.
The volts of the black electric snakes generated around the Taotie are probably not even as powerful as lightning!
This time, Li Ling was once again close to Taotie. When he was still ten meters away from the bottom of the river, the super numb feeling struck again. The black electric snake paralyzed all the muscles and nerves of Li Ling again. Li Ling secretly gritted his teeth.
With a sharp flash in his eyes, he managed to break through his own muscle paralysis and continued to dive downwards.
