The four elders of Fang Xiandao fled down the Nanta River. The powerful men of Nanzhao Royal Court were not willing to give up and followed closely behind.
The Goddess of Nanzhao was not willing to let Lin Ze escape. She sent people to guard the riverside to prevent him from coming ashore. She also called in a group of beast-blood warriors. They searched along both sides of the river in teams of three. When they found Lin Ze, they immediately alerted him.
If the water in this section were not so fast, the Nanzhao Goddess would have wanted everyone to go down to the river to search for it.
As far as she knew, Lin Ze was only a slightly more powerful beast-blood warrior, not as powerful as the Golden Feather Warrior. It would be difficult to kill three beast-blood warriors instantly, and there were many Golden Feather Warriors patrolling nearby.
Thinking of Lin Ze, the Nanzhao Goddess couldn't help but feel a little hateful. She wanted to lie to him, but she didn't expect that he would pretend to agree, lower her vigilance, and jump into the river when she had the opportunity. She should not have talked to him if she had known better.
Then he issued an order: "Any golden-feathered warrior who encounters the leader of the devil's servants must be killed immediately to avoid being bewitched by him."
If Lin Ze heard this, he would definitely scream that he was wronged, but he was also in great trouble at the moment.
Relying on the techniques recorded in "Xuanwu Zhenjie", Lin Ze quickly dived into the bottom of the river and followed the river upstream step by step.
This was what Lin Ze and the four elders of Fang Xiandao had agreed upon before. The four elders would help him escape into the bottom of the river and lure away most of the powerful men. He would take this opportunity to escape alone.
This was the best way he could think of. It was countless times better than the result of the four elders of Fang Xiandao leaving him and running for their lives alone at the critical moment.
Yes, Lin Ze never expected that the four elders of Fang Xiandao would really fight for him, even if he was the young sect master designated by Xu Fu and his nominal direct disciple.
There were only two reasons. First, the friendship between Lin Ze and the four elders of Fang Xiandao was not so deep that the fourth elder of Fang Xiandao was willing to die for him. Second, Lin Ze was beneficial to Xu Fu, but he could not bring them any benefits.
Benefits that are enough to be exchanged for one's life.
Instead of giving up in the end, it is better to find a way out for himself while the four elders of Fang Xiandao can still help him.
Even if this way of survival is very difficult, for example, Lin Ze did not expect that there would be so many monsters at the bottom of the river, which almost made it difficult for him to move forward.
A crab as big as a basin, a strange fish with a mouth full of fangs, and a monster insect like a water snake all "received" Lin Ze's guest very enthusiastically.
If it were normal, Lin Ze wouldn't mind changing his taste and trying these river delicacies, but now he is running for his life. Even if "Xuanwu True Explanation" can let him stay in the water for a while, it will not really turn him into a
The tortoise.
Fortunately, the levels of these monsters were not very high. Lin Ze relied on the Diamond Sutra to knock them out one by one and forcibly opened a path.
Killing is not allowed. There are a large number of fish and shrimp corpses floating on the river. No matter how stupid the Nanzhao natives are, they will find something wrong. They can only maintain a relatively safe escape route by knocking them unconscious.
On the river bank, the goddess of Nanzhao was walking back and forth. The warriors searched Lin Ze to no avail, which made her feel extra irritated. According to a joke from Nanzhao people, "all the roasted monsters have escaped."
Suddenly a warrior came over with a soaked package, knelt down in front of the Nanzhao Goddess, bowed and said: "Daughter of the God of Enlightenment, we found this in a gentle flow area ten miles away. Lord Jin Yu has already
I have cordoned off the area and let me inform you."
Nanzhao Goddess took the package doubtfully, opened it, and found some rare medicinal herbs inside. She thought about it for a moment.
Suddenly enlightened, he shouted: "Isn't this the package carried by the leader of the devil's servants?" Then he excitedly said to the messenger: "Bring me over quickly."
At the same time, he ordered the nearby Nanzhao natives: "All follow this goddess to hunt down the leader of the devil's servants, use his head to sacrifice to the gods, and use his blood to pay tribute to the dead warriors."
In an instant, hundreds of Nanzhao natives followed the Nanzhao goddess and headed ten miles away.
When they arrived at the location, the Nanzhao Goddess asked the Golden Feather Warrior who was leading the package. Lin Ze did not show up and couldn't help but carefully stare at the location where the package appeared.
Suddenly, under the gaze of the Nanzhao goddess, another package appeared, and soon a Nanzhao native hooked the package over.
When he opened it, he saw that there were a lot of medicinal herbs inside. The Nanzhao Goddess immediately pointed at it and said, "It's right here. He can't hold it any longer. Everyone, please keep a close eye."
However, fifty breaths of time passed, and the situation that Nanzhao Goddess expected that Lin Ze would be unable to bear did not appear.
The goddess of Nanzhao couldn't help it anymore and ordered to everyone in Nanzhao: "You three golden feather warriors will take twenty beast-blood warriors up one mile and down to the river, and guard to prevent him from escaping upward."
"You six Golden Feather Warriors, along with forty beast-blood warriors, go two miles down to the river to prevent him from escaping downward."
"The rest will all go down the river in the middle and search with all our strength. I must find him."
Suddenly hundreds of Nanzhao natives jumped into the river like dumplings, and suddenly the lower reaches of the Nanta River, which was originally flowing smoothly, became more turbid.
Only the Nanzhao Goddess and a dozen people from the Buddhist sect stood on the shore to prevent Lin Ze from escaping ashore.
Half an hour later, everyone went down the river to look for the Nanzhao natives, and one after another came ashore from the two "checkpoints", but found nothing.
The goddess Nanzhao's face suddenly turned ugly. So, these two packages did not fall from him now, but he deliberately dropped them to attract her attention. So how did the leader of the devil's servants escape?
The Nanzhao Goddess had a flash of inspiration: Maybe he didn't escape down at all, but went up, or stayed still, and he was misled.
Thinking of this, I was about to order someone to go back to look for him, but suddenly I was afraid that the leader of the devil's servants was scheming, so he only took away half of the people, and the rest were scattered across the river to monitor the surface of the river.
In the upper reaches of the Nanta River, Lin Ze sneaked out through a reed bush and found that there were only three Nanzhao natives nearby, sitting casually in the shade of a tree, facing the river.
Lin Ze thought for a while, dived into the water again, caught a big fish, and with a little force, the big fish rushed up to the river bank.
As soon as the big fish left the river bank, it couldn't help but struggle and jump, which soon aroused the ideas of three Nanzhao natives. The three people looked at the fat and big fish, couldn't help but swallowed their saliva, and immediately ran over.
One of the Nanzhao natives grabbed the gills of the big fish, lifted the fish, weighed it, and couldn't help but smile at his companion: "There is something delicious for lunch."
However, when the three of them focused their attention on the big fish, they did not realize that the shadow of death enveloped them.
Lin Ze struggled to emerge from the water, bringing up a large splash. He grabbed the back of a Nanzhao native's head with both hands and slammed it into the middle, causing the two heads to burst like watermelons.
Under the horrified look of the third person, he broke his neck and choked his cry in his throat.
Then he changed into dry clothes, threw the three bodies into the reeds, found a direction and ran away quickly.
An hour later, the Nanzhao goddess looked at the three miserable corpses of Nanzhao natives, almost broke her silver teeth, and said fiercely: "Chase them."
