The old man's wild laughter, the sudden stop of the wild laughter and the collision of two tones - these happened one after another not long after he jumped into the river, but it was not until he was almost swimming to the center of the river that Zhang Baoer suddenly became aware of them.
After realizing them, he turned his head carefully and was stunned...
The old man lay prostrate on the beach, motionless.
swish swish...
The one-legged horse stood aside, with its butt facing the old man, and was constantly scratching the sand with its limbs, just like a large cat and dog, digging and burying the old man in the sand!
"Hoo ho!"
"Eh?!"
It wasn't until he saw it calling to him anxiously that Zhang Baoer suddenly realized that it had been calling him for a long time...
This...it's not his fault! He was so frightened just now that he couldn't think of anything else except running for his life. Others didn't know but he knew what the old man wanted to do...well, it wasn't quite accurate. He didn't know what the old man wanted to do specifically.
Well, I only know what he will probably do: light sky lanterns, skin and cramp...take out the heart and eat it, etc., all kinds of cruel and inhumane behavior.
Because this old man was none other than the unlucky old guy who was knocked down by him when he came down to earth.
Cutting off a person's path to heaven cannot be described by simply saying "deep hatred", not to mention that the hatred in his heart must be overwhelming when he is only "on the verge of finishing".
He could clearly see just now that the old man was completely crazy, as if he had taken dozens of times the dose of stimulants, and there was no chance for him to beg for mercy or bargain.
Besides, at that time, the fear in his heart was so overwhelming that he didn't think much about it. It was normal for him to flee for his life as soon as he realized it.
But...why is that scary and pitiful old guy lying down? Why is he not moving?!
"There must be a conspiracy!"
Zhang Baoer immediately believed that this old guy was cheating, and he would not be fooled!
"Erha! Run!"
He roared, turned around and continued swimming. However, when he reached the center of the river, he suddenly stopped.
Because the unicorn had almost buried the old guy, and he suddenly realized:
"That's wrong! This old guy's cultivation level is so high. It's just a matter of effort to catch me. Why bother... Right!"
He was suddenly startled, and his eyes quickly became filled with light!
"I just heard the sound of 'dong' and 'bang'! These two sounds...are the sounds of Erha's claws hitting his body and the sound of him falling on the beach?!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Baoer gritted his teeth, plucked up the courage, and decided to go back to investigate to see if the old man was seriously injured and had been knocked unconscious or killed by the unicorn!
Zhang Baoer was very tired. In fact, he was already very tired when he came ashore. It was his instinct to escape that made him swim to the center of the river.
Now swimming back, he gradually found that his limbs were numb and losing strength.
He was shocked and quickly adjusted his position - backstroke!
Although this body is small, it is very flexible and resilient. The terrible thing like 'cramp' did not happen to him; however, because the river was flowing, when he swam over, he was already a hundred feet away downstream.
.
He landed on the shore and approached slowly. The unicorn looked puzzled. It was impatient and tired. Instead of running over, it lay down on the pile of sand where the old man was buried to rest.
.
Despite this, Zhang Baoer still did not dare to let down his guard, fearing that he might accidentally fall into the old man's trap.
"Beware of the long-lasting ship!"
Time passed slowly, and the distance was slowly getting closer. When the distance was only about twenty feet, Zhang Baoer stopped.
Then, he carefully released his mental power, passed through the air, then through the sand, and slowly passed through the old guy's body.
"Eh?!"
Zhang Baoer exclaimed in surprise, frowned, and continued to use his mental power to sense the situation in his hometown!
"...I'm in a coma! Phew..."
After a while, he straightened up and let out a long sigh of relief. It seemed that the old guy was really knocked out by the unicorn!
He had already sensed signs of a recent injury on the back of the old guy's head. Since his mouth and nose were buried and he couldn't breathe, the old guy's face was already flushed...
"not good!"
Realizing that suffocation might wake the old man up, Zhang Baoer was frightened and ran over quickly.
"Er ha! Give up!"
"Ouch?!"
The one-legged horse reluctantly moved its buttocks away, and Zhang Baoer clawed at his limbs and dug him out immediately.
"call……"
He breathed a long sigh of relief again, feeling extremely lucky that the old guy didn't wake up.
Then, he looked at the old guy's Dantian with his mental power and murmured:
"Why is there so little spiritual energy in his Dantian... By the way! His Nascent Soul..."
His pupils shrank suddenly.
"Why is his Nascent Soul so small and so light in color?! Less than an inch...He's injured?! This...this! How is this possible?!"
At this point, he was shocked, because he found that the old guy's Dantian space was huge, more than ten times the 'three feet' that he had learned from others and books. The little Nascent Soul that looked like the old guy was exactly
He was lying unconscious inside, lying on the ground.
The relationship between ** and Yuanying is very delicate. Generally speaking, even if a Yuanying monk is seriously injured, even if his head is broken, it is impossible for Yuanying to become "coma". And this old man's situation is likely to be:
"There must be something wrong with him...and it probably happened just now! He was not seriously injured...then, it is probably caused by excessive consumption! Otherwise, there is no way he only has that little spiritual energy in his Dantian! Nascent Soul
It can’t be so small and so light in color!”
Thinking of this, he stood up and was about to call the unicorn to run away, but!
"etc!"
He suddenly stopped and poured his spiritual power into the old guy's body again.
"really!"
After recovering his mental power, he turned towards the direction of the whirlpool with a horrified look on his face, because he found the 'black' water at the bottom of the whirlpool in the old guy's belly.
Not only that, he also found that the water was slowly nourishing the old guy's body. He concluded that the old guy drank the water on his own initiative.
After making this guess, he understood:
"The old guy must have made himself so weak because he drank that water... I don't know what that thing is?!"
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he had the idea of killing someone and seizing the treasure.
But... just when his claws were raised, he was suddenly startled and stood there, staring unblinking at the old guy's white hair stained with yellow sand...
He felt uneasy and finally gave up the urge to kill the old guy.
Of course, having said that, he would not let his hometown wake up and make a fuss with him, grab treasures, or fight with him. He quickly asked the unicorn to get up and follow him to collect materials...
It didn't take long, only ten minutes, and he had built a crude but sturdy raft!
"hehe……"
After tying the old guy to the raft and sending him into the raft, he watched the raft drift away slowly and smiled bitterly. What he was crying and laughing about was not his behavior towards the old guy, but one of the logs on the raft - he remembered that
A piece of wood. Tang Tiantian and the others relied on that piece of wood to survive and not get separated.
"Hey! Don't think about it anymore! Tang Tiantian and Xiao Hagui Elf, I hope they are fine... There will be no results if you think about it now. Since the black water is good for the body, hehe... Old man! I hope we
We won't meet each other in the future, even if we do... Well, I'll grab your shield later and apologize to you! Hehehehe..."
He had seen the treasure that made the old man 'heartbroken'. It was the shield that the old man holding the silver dagger used to block his own when he was ambushed.
Although the river flowed very fast, he did not dare to stay longer. After resting for a while, he immediately stood up and walked upstream with the unicorn.
Although the river bank near the maelstrom is steep and the road is difficult to walk, the "difficult" road is only for mortals and is not a problem for the two of them. After all, the mountain at the end of the beach is not upright, but gradually bulges.
Yes, considering their ability, it is not difficult to walk up.
Five or six minutes later, they arrived at their destination, with the large whirlpool spinning twenty feet below their feet.
Zhang Baoer estimated that he could jump into the center of the maelstrom with a sprint, but he did not dare to act recklessly. Not long after he landed from the maelstrom, he realized deeply: If he jumped like this, he would probably end up like
A large cake put into a mixer will generally fall to pieces.
So, what is he going to do?!
The answer was a bit depressing, because he didn't know what to do.
"I've thought of all the solutions!"
He comforted himself and allowed himself to calm down and think.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes... ten minutes!
"Yes!"
Huangtian paid off, he finally thought of a way!
"Since you can't approach from above or from the side! Why can't I approach from below?!"
"But... there is a problem. The downward force of the water is too great. I shouldn't be able to swim from the lower reaches. If I go from the upper reaches, I will be sucked into the maelstrom before I can dive to the bottom of the water!"
Questions come one after another!
"It doesn't matter! Keep thinking!"
He fell into deep thought again. The one-legged horse was bored and lay on the ground again and began to practice.
Time passed by slowly, and it was already dusk before I knew it.
Looking at the setting sun, Zhang Baoer was suddenly overjoyed, but then frowned - the setting sun made him think that he could jump into the river upstream with a big stone in his arms, but the question came again: Can I catch the stone?
?
In the blink of an eye, the sky began to get dark, but just as night was about to fall, his wisdom did not disappoint him. He thought:
"Push down more big rocks! As many as you can! And... try to push them all together! It should be able to destroy the whirlpool, even for a moment... that's enough!"
