One of the leading casual cultivators was very dissatisfied with Jiang Li's escape, so he grabbed a stone the size of a basketball and threw it into the river.
But those little water ripples were completely smoothed out in just a moment in the turbulent Mazu River, and no trace could be seen anymore.
"Boss, I don't know either. We've all tried it. Out of those eight guys, at most two are in the middle stage of Qi training, and the others are all in the early stages of Qi training."
"And we have absolutely no experience. We were standing in the crowd today and they didn't even notice."
"Boss, why don't we just rush into the palace tonight, as per the old rules, the women will stay and the men will be killed?"
A monk with a sinister eyebrow next to him suggested.
boom!
But before his wretched smile could bloom, he was kicked to the ground by his boss.
"Are you a fool? They are all disciples of the sect. If they can kill people cleanly and silence them, then forget about it. Now if one of them escapes and you do it, don't you want to live?"
The leader of the casual cultivators had a ferocious expression. He felt helpless at his younger brother's stupidity, and at the same time he was angry at the sect's forces that usually oppressed the scattered cultivators.
"Then what should we do?"
The younger brother spoke weakly.
"What should we do? Of course, look for me! Look for me along the river bank! I don't believe he won't come out to breathe!"
While these casual cultivators were pursuing along the river bank, Jiang Li and Hei Zhan were already carried by the rushing water and headed downstream.
Jiang Li chose to set off alone, naturally not because of his sense of responsibility, nor did he have many thoughts of being a hero. His friendship with Yu Banxia and others has not yet reached that point.
He chose this, on the one hand, because of the self-confidence of the time traveler, thinking that destiny is mine, and if there is a chance of such a valuable treasure being born, it is difficult for him not to get involved.
On the other hand, it was also due to self-confidence. Although he was only in the middle stage of Qi training, he had been tested by the two unlucky ghosts of Jinghe Shuangsha.
With the blessing of his enhanced state, he can defeat most Qi-training monks.
The stronger foundation-building monks are still busy looking for corpse demons, and there is no way they can appear outside the river basin. In addition, Jiang Li is planning to go along the river, so he can directly avoid most of the monks, so his safety is actually very guaranteed.
.Maybe even safer than staying in the city.
In this way, Jiang Li volunteered to take over this task.
It's just that... the plan can't keep up with the changes.
boom!
A dull crashing sound came out of the water, and Jiang Li, whose skin was dyed pitch black, hit a rock under the water hard.
A faint fishy-sweet taste surged up in his throat. Jiang Li, who practiced the Mountain Sutra every day, was slightly injured in the attack just now.
After the collision, Jiang Li was thrown head-first, carried by the current like a top, spinning crazily and rushing downwards.
This feeling is really not for humans!
【High-speed rotation, dizziness affects oneself.】
[Dizziness: The sense of direction is deflected by 60 degrees, the thinking speed is reduced by 40%, the spirit is temporarily reduced by 0.3, and the duration is twenty minutes] (-)
Although Jiang Li can swim, it is only limited to the extent that he will not drown. Compared with swimming fish, there is no comparison at all.
The turbulent undercurrent under the water made it impossible for him to maintain balance.
Not to mention swimming, the whole person was carried by the river water, which was three circles on the left, three circles on the right, three circles up and three down, and it was impossible to stop rolling.
It only took a few minutes for Jiang Li to fall into a [vertigo] state due to spinning too fast and too much. If he hadn't had quick eyesight and quick hands, he would have been able to eliminate it in time every time. If the dizziness effect had been superimposed, he might have lost it completely.
consciousness.
It's no wonder that the three casual cultivators didn't dare to go to the shore to chase after them. Qi-training cultivators would also drown.
The power of this world and nature is far greater than that of the previous life, and the power of the river waves is enough to tear the human body apart. This does not exceed the ability of human beings to be water-based. It is not impossible to be drowned by the river water.
Fortunately, Jiang Li took that mouthful of gillweed, and the effect was indeed effective.
Although breathing is not as smooth as on the ground, a large number of bubbles will be produced after the water is sucked into the mouth and nose.
The oxygen dissolved in the water is extracted, so he doesn't have to worry about drowning underwater.
But, that's all.
boom!
Another rock came into close contact with Jiang Li, and a ball of blood emerged in the river, and was quickly washed away by the rapids.
The state of [Underwater Breathing] does not help his swimming skills in any way.
Jiang Li also tried resisting the power of the current, or obeying the power of the current, in order to regain control of his body and reduce collisions with the reef.
But such advanced skills cannot be mastered in a short time.
If you should wallow, you will wallow; if you should hit the rocks, you will hit the rocks.
However, in this merciless collision, Jiang Li realized that his "Bumping into the Mountain Sutra" was making rapid progress, and the effect on his body was far greater than the effect of hitting the mountain wall.
It seems that this "Bumping Mountain Sutra" is really a self-abuse technique. The harder you are on yourself, the better the effect of the practice will be.
"No, if I keep going like this I will be killed!"
After being shocked underwater for more than an hour, Jiang Li looked at the blood volume on his panel and found that it had dropped by a quarter.
Of course, these life and physical strength values cannot fully represent Jiang Li's physical condition, but they also have considerable reference value.
"No, I have to go up first and take a breath."
Wood Armor Technique!
The wood attribute aura was mobilized, and the spell was successfully launched.
In the light full of life, a layer of wooden armor grew quickly, and soon completely covered Jiang Li's body.
The wooden armor covering the whole body brings sufficient floating power.
Jiang Li's body, which had almost sunk to the bottom, was lifted up by the wooden armor and kept rising to the surface of the water.
From time to time, a few undercurrents would form a vortex and pull him back to the deep water, but this vortex would never last long and would soon dissipate.
The buoyancy brought by the wooden armor will never disappear. After going up and down, Jiang Li finally surfaced.
Jiang Li was speechless. He didn't expect that when he used this wooden armor technique for the first time, he would actually use it as a life jacket.
It's too dangerous to be under the water. Monks with water-attribute spiritual roots may be better off, but what's the difference between me and a landlubber?
Jiang Li lay on his back on the water, floating up and down with the waves, thinking about what to do next.
The target floating on the water is too obvious, and the speed is several times slower than underwater, which is obviously not advisable. After a while, Heizheng will be swept away and unable to be found.
But if I go into the water, my small body will not be hit.
Wait... Heizhi?
Jiang Li hurriedly communicated with Black Zombie through the seeding process. Although the zombie was strong, it didn't know how to defend itself. I'm afraid it might as well have been hit by itself. It wouldn't have been knocked to pieces by now.
After feeling the black and stiff state, Jiang Li's expression turned strange.
That's not to say that Heizheng didn't have any injuries, but the injuries were much lighter than Jiang Li himself.
It was motionless, moving along the current like a motionless corpse, but every time it was about to hit a rock, it would just avoid it as the current turned, and the real damage it suffered was not much at all...
Could it be that... what I have done just now is not only useless, but also counterproductive?
