Just when Ye Chen was thinking wildly, the old man glanced over with inquiring eyes and said: "If nothing happens, can you go to the Nine Turns and Eighteen Bends now to look for the lost ship? The old granddaughter is still on it, and it has been half a month.
Although there is plenty of food up there, accidents are bound to happen."
Qu Ming stood up and said, "Don't worry, uncle, this matter has been taken care of by me. I will definitely bring Xinying back."
"Since there are people on board, let's set off without further delay!" Ye Chen also stood up.
The old man nodded, "I will go with you, the iron and wooden ship is ready."
Northwest coast of Panshan Island.
A fifteen-meter-long, three-meter-wide black wooden boat docked there, its surface exuding a faint luster, similar to metal.
Ye Chen knew in his heart that this was an iron-wood ship. It was made of iron-wood that was comparable to metal. Needless to say, it was hard enough to withstand the full blow of a Qi-training warrior without being damaged. It was also very flexible and could travel quickly through big waves.
, no need to worry about the hull breaking.
"Master!"
Twelve Qu family warriors at the ninth level of the Qi Training Realm lined up in a row and said in unison.
The old man waved his hand, "You all know Qu Ming. This is Ye Chen, an inner disciple of the Liuyun Sect. He will go with us to the Nine and Eighteen Bends to rescue Xinying."
After saying that, he turned to Ye Chen and Qu Ming and said, "They are not as powerful as you two, but they are very good at water and can hold their breath underwater for a quarter of an hour."
Ye Chen was a little surprised. With his current level of cultivation, it was not difficult to hold his breath underwater for a quarter of an hour, but these twelve people were only at the ninth level of the Qi Training Realm.
The closer we get to the nine twists and turns, the faster the water flow becomes. Wave after wave of water hits the side of the iron-wood boat relentlessly, making a loud snapping sound, which is thrilling.
In the cabin.
The old man said: "The water flow in the Nine Turns and Eighteen Bends is complicated and there are countless whirlpools. Without superb rowing skills, it is impossible to pass. If nothing else, the old granddaughter should be trapped in the first half of the Nine Turns and Eighteen Bends. There is a hill there.
, the mountains and the lake form a flat beach for ships to dock, and what you have to do is very simple, kill any monsters that come close to prevent the ships from being washed off the track."
Ye Chen said: "It's very simple. I can use Qinggong to fly directly over it, and I can find the lost ship and your granddaughter very quickly."
The old man shook his head, "The real horror of the Nine Winds and Eighteen Bends is not the water and the monsters, but the thick fog. If you enter it alone, you can easily get lost and never get out. You can only follow the changes in the water flow."
Find a way out."
"That's it!" Ye Chen nodded thoughtfully. Panshan Island and Ancient Water Lake cannot be treated with common sense. They are too weird.
Crunch!
Suddenly, the iron-wooden boat shook violently, as if it had been hit by something.
With a kick, a Qu family warrior rushed in, "Master, three demonic birds are approaching."
The old man nodded, "Leave it to them two."
Ye Chen and Qu Ming looked at each other and walked out of the cabin together.
On the deck, Ye Chen looked up and saw three huge strange birds flying in mid-air. The wings of the strange birds were spread out five meters, and there was a pair of sharp claws on the upper part of the wings. They had not yet come close at this time, and the wings were fanning.
The strong wind had caused the iron and wooden boat to rock.
"Point the star, the Big Dipper!"
Qu Ming raised the two index fingers of his right hand, and the glazed light appeared at the end of his fingertips. He clicked the sky seven times to carve out the pattern of the Big Dipper.
Puff, puff, puff...
Without any suspense, the three demonic birds were shrouded in the fingers of the Big Dipper. Several blood holes appeared on their bodies, and they fell headlong into the lake.
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Good fingering!"
"It's just a small trick." Qu Ming stopped.
At this moment, a warrior from the Qu family shouted loudly: "We have arrived at the Nine and Eighteen Bends. Everyone hold on to fixed objects to avoid being thrown off the deck."
In the blink of an eye three times after the words fell, the hull of the ship shook violently, with the intention of capsizing. The other Qu family warriors were well prepared and clung to anything they could hold on to. Only Ye Chen and Qu Ming remained indifferent and stepped firmly on the ground with their feet.
On the deck, no matter how violently the ship rocked, it was difficult to shake their bodies.
Qu Ming's body is very agile and has good balance. He seems to be motionless, but in fact, his body is secretly making subtle changes in accordance with the direction of the ship's rocking. He can always follow the trend and move freely.
But when he looked at Ye Chen, his eyes couldn't help but narrowed.
Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back, as if there were roots under his feet, swaying with the rocking of the ship's hull, like a part of the ship's hull, there was no possibility of being thrown out.
"What a brilliant Qing Gong." Qu Ming's eyesight was so sharp that he immediately saw that Ye Chen was highly accomplished in Qing Gong, and his use of Qi was far beyond that of ordinary warriors.
Ye Chen smiled faintly and was about to speak when he suddenly frowned and said, "There is a monster sneaking under the water."
With a vertical movement, Ye Chen's body landed on the railing beside the boat, and he punched down with a shining blue light.
Roar!
The tiger's roar shook the sky, and the blue air dragon swooped down and dived into the water.
next moment!
The huge monster corpse floated up, with a blood hole the size of a bathtub in its chest and abdomen, and blood was gurgling.
Qu Ming took a look at the corpse of the monster beast and said in surprise: "The water shadow beast is good at hiding evil spirits and is proficient in sneaking. How did you detect it?" If Ye Chen hadn't discovered it, Qu Ming thought it would be impossible to kill the water shadow beast in advance.
, he will only be aware of it when the opponent launches an attack and the evil spirit is exposed. At that time, even if the iron-wooden ship is unscathed, it will definitely deviate from the channel, and it will take a lot of effort to get back to the normal route. It will undoubtedly
Waste a lot of time.
Ye Chen naturally wouldn't say that his soul power was powerful and he could freely explore any surrounding objects. He made up a random reason and said: "Although the water shadow beast is proficient in stealth and has restrained evil spirit, its huge body cannot be silent no matter how dexterous it is.
Sneaking over will inevitably change the water flow slightly."
Qu Ming nodded secretly. The other party was right. The bigger the body, the greater the resistance in the water. However, the other party's perception was too strong. He could even understand the subtle changes in the water flow, which was admirable.
As it gradually deepens into the nine twists and turns, the frequency of the hull shaking becomes faster and faster. Sometimes it is obviously shaking to the left, but it suddenly jumps up. Sometimes it is obviously smooth and smooth. The vortex under the water sucks the hull and makes it difficult to move. From fast to instantaneous
Being still can almost make an ordinary person's heart beat.
Finally, the iron wooden boat came to the half-submerged mountain peak without any danger.
On the beach, a large ship was docked there, looking vaguely invisible in the thick fog, and it was completely silent.
Before the ship even got close, Qu Ming and Ye Chen flew past the deck beneath their feet like two big birds, at incredibly fast speeds.
Snapped!
The two stood on the deck of the lost ship and felt that the atmosphere had changed.
"Xinying! Are you there?" Qu Ming called out.
call!
There was no sound except the lake breeze.
The two of them were afraid of missing something, so they opened the cabin door and walked in.
After a while, the two came out again.
Ye Chen looked up at the mountain peak and said to Qu Ming: "Maybe they took refuge on the mountain peak."
Qu Ming nodded, "This is the only possibility. Let's wait for Grandpa and the others first."
