Chapter 725: Wen Jing (Third Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)
The setting sun was like blood, the river water was red, and the surging sound was like the anger of the gods, drilling into the soul.
Meng Qi looked for a while, fled upstream, and looked for a place to cross the river. Just like normal rivers, there are fast and slow sections. The Nujiang River also has dangerous and non-dangerous sections. In the dangerous area, the strong and strange monsters at the bottom of the river can occasionally break through the seal, float to the upper layer, quietly wait for prey or stir up trouble, which is very dangerous.
If it were normal, Meng Qi would not be too afraid of them. Unlike the Great Sage, in addition to changing into a fish, he can also simulate the change into a blue-blooded man, drive water to avoid himself, and can exert 70% to 80% of his combat power underwater. He is a genuine all-terrain and all-environment combat machine. If he does not encounter the best monsters, there is nothing to worry about. But now he is lurking across the river. If he fights with underwater monsters and stirs up a big commotion and is detected by the enemy on the opposite side, then everything will be over!
In front of the rebel camp, there is a good section of water where monsters find it difficult to float. There are no more than three such places in the entire Nujiang River, which are "gates" that need to be guarded, and the opposite side is also the same.
Therefore, Meng Qi gave up crossing the river from here and went up to find a relatively gentle section of water.
According to the information provided by Wanshi Zhenren, Hu Zhigao and others, Meng Qi found a section of water that can cross the river not far upstream without any effort.
He turned around and transformed into a silver-scaled fish, jumped into the river with a splash, and swam to the other side on the upper water surface.
The Nujiang River is extremely wide, and there is interference from the residual breath of gods and demons, so that even the peak of the external scene can't cross the river to attack. Meng Qi swam for a long time before he vaguely sensed that the opposite bank was brightly lit.
The river is brightly lit! Meng Qi was shocked and slowed down his swimming speed. He was almost swallowed by a carnivorous fish.
The fish eyes on both sides changed, with golden light flashing, as if countless rays of light condensed, and the eyes of wisdom opened, and the scene in front was vivid!
The shallow water near the embankment was dark, and there seemed to be black air lingering in the water. Many fish floated up, turned their white bellies, and quickly rotted into water. The same was true for shrimps, crabs, and shellfish. No normal creatures could cross.
On this river, there were several medium-sized boats patrolling, hanging countless lanterns, illuminating the water surface like daylight. Each boat carried a number of good players, led by a general of the eighth or ninth grade of the earth rank, repeatedly checking the shallow water to prevent "slipping through the net". In the most central boat, there stood a general wrapped in black armor, standing on the bow, looking down on all directions, and sensing the details.
He only had a pair of eyes from under the iron black mask, but it was these eyes that made the nearby lower-level strongmen dare not look directly at him. They were cold and solemn, as if countless hells were being performed inside. Just seeing them would make the mind fall into them.
"The one who can inherit the mantle of the 'Martial Emperor' in the future must be the 'Senluo Tianjun'..." When the lower third-rank strongmen and human-rank masters glanced at the black-armored warrior, they couldn't help but have this thought, and shuddered at the same time.
Senluo Tianjun has the blood of the alien demon. At the age of 28, he is already the sixth-rank earth-rank, which is better than the Martial Emperor back then. He is almost the strongest of this generation. He is often praised by the Martial Emperor, saying that he has the hope of reaching the third rank before the age of 40!
And Meng Qi was in trouble. This place was so heavily guarded, as if it was specifically aimed at the art of transformation. If he turned back and chose another peaceful place, according to the information of the Wanshi Zhenren, the nearest place has been flying at full speed for more than half a month. Time is running out!
And the river where the army confronted each other must be blocked and guarded more than here!
…………
The camps were continuous and vast like a dragon, in a gorgeously decorated tent.
A middle-aged man in a bright yellow robe sat upright in a chair, surrounded by a five-clawed golden dragon with a tangible imperial aura, sacred, majestic, and lofty, making people bow their heads unconsciously.
"Will such vigilance be too much, wasting the energy of the soldiers?" He spoke in a low voice with a very charming magnetism.
Opposite him, there were two people sitting upright, one was a tall old man. It was only the first impression that he was an old man. If you look closely, you will find that his face has no wrinkles, his hair is black, and his crown is neatly combed. He is meticulous. His breath is restrained, and you can't see the depth. His eyes are deep and hard to see the edge. His hands are placed on his knees. He has the demeanor of a true master. Even if he doesn't speak, he is full of majestic charm, which is completely different from the common characteristics of the gods and demons of the upper third grade.
The other person, wearing a black robe, with a lot of silver hair mixed in his hair, not only does he not look old, but adds a bit of vicissitudes of life. His facial features are not outstanding, but his eyebrows are stretched and his eyes are lazy, which attracts others' attention.
Hearing the question from the man in the bright yellow robe, many lazy white-haired men smiled and said, "You must be undefeated before you can wait for the chance to win. I once encountered an enemy nicknamed 'Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun'. I suffered a heavy loss under the transformation technique and almost lost my life. From then on, I vowed never to neglect this aspect again."
"Many bloodlines are special. Mr. Wen Jing's concerns are correct." The tall old man said calmly.
As soon as these words came out, the solemn atmosphere in the tent suddenly dissipated strangely, even the five-clawed golden dragon condensed by the emperor's aura almost collapsed.
"Even the teacher agrees, so of course I have no objection." The man in the bright yellow robe remained unchanged, as steady as a mountain.
He called "teacher", but did not show the courtesy of a disciple.
After saying that, he turned to look at the lazy white-haired man: "Mr. Wen Jing, has the spy who sneaked into the rebel camp sent back any news? How is the progress? Do we need to attack once to cause chaos?"
The rebel army has not yet had an internal conflict, the camp is secretly connected to the terrain and people, and there are still many top three strong men. It is difficult to break through with a direct full-scale attack, so we have to take two approaches at the same time.
Wen Jing smiled and said, "If we attack once every two days, within five days, Your Highness will be able to see the rebels fall apart."
…………
Once a big commotion is triggered and a master-level strongman is attracted, all the previous plans will be wasted. If we retreat and cannot find the master of the poisonous insect, Du Huaishang can only support for a few days at most. Once he dies, the rebel army will be in chaos and the mission will inevitably fail.
Meng Qi floated in the water, looking at the blockade line in front of him with his wise eyes, and his mind was racing, analyzing the pros and cons.
If he wanted to take action, he only had one chance, and he couldn't let the other party react!
And if he took action against other people, there was a high possibility that he would be discovered by the black-armored warrior!
In other words, he had to attack the strongest one. Once he was defeated, he didn't have to worry about the lower three-grade strongman noticing anything unusual!
Taking a deep breath, Meng Qi suppressed all kinds of distracting thoughts, his mind was clear, he forgot about winning or losing, forgot about life and death, and reflected the immortal Yuanshi phase, which was round and flawless!
He turned around and transformed from a silver fish into a human, with translucent skin and blue blood flowing.
After stepping over the first level of the ladder, the number of changes increased to eighteen. Meng Qi's simulation of the blue-blooded man went to a higher level. Although it was not yet possible to completely merge with the flowing water and was extremely difficult to detect, it could also slightly turn into water!
His body faded and turned into water. Meng Qi tried his best to control his breath, so as not to let the black-armored warriors sense it, and carefully followed the water flow to approach the ship.
The river water gradually changed, and the dark and strange air entangled. Meng Qi's heart was as still as water, and his mind was clear. The immortal Yuanshi watched the thoughts of fear and fear rise and fall, and did not let them jump.
The darkness invaded, and Meng Qi's soul suddenly felt dizzy. The immortal Yuanshi sat in control and visualized the golden Buddha, and then he regained consciousness slightly.
What a terrible poisonous air! Meng Qi felt that his body turned into liquid water was rotting and his soul was "melting".
Only ten breaths... Meng Qi set a time limit for himself. If he exceeds this limit, the influence of the strange black air will become greater and he will no longer be able to control it. Not only will he have to take the Dongji Longevity Pill to recover, but his breath will also fluctuate, making him very easy to be discovered!
A drop of water merged into the river and slowly approached the ship. Senluo Tianjun stood at the bow, pacing back and forth, inspecting all directions, with a cold look, without any human emotion, which frightened his subordinates.
Waiting for an opportunity... Meng Qi was calm and neither arrogant nor impatient, just like the time he waited for the wolf king.
Three breaths passed... Senluo Tianjun did not approach the shadowed gangway on this side.
Five breaths passed... A flying insect was crushed by the invisible qi before it landed on Senluo Tianjun's body.
Seven breaths, eight breaths... Senluo Tianjun was still inspecting the other side, and Meng Qi was unmoved, as indifferent as if he was not the one who died after the failure.
Nine breaths... Senluo Tianjun turned around and walked to this side.
Ten breaths... Senluo Tianjun's demon bloodline suddenly had a premonition, and subconsciously looked at the water surface, only to see a blue hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed his ankle. Its movements were erratic, like illusion and reality, containing some mysterious Zen meaning. It seemed to be there, but it felt like it was anywhere, not here, not there, not in the middle!
Senluo Tianjun's eyes were cold, and he stepped back, leaving several illusory footprints on the deck, as if any place could become real, which was a wonderful evasive method.
However, that hand was waiting there, like a loophole in his heart, and escaping could not solve the problem!
Silently, Senluo Tianjun saw his ankle being held by the other party. Just as he was about to burst out his breath, forcefully break free, and attract attention, the five fingers lit up with faint dark yellow light spots, black and white clouds, and purple blessings, and suddenly closed together.
With a splash and a crack, the sound of flowing water and breaking merged into one. Meng Qi's five fingers pierced through the black leg armor and directly pinched Senluo Tianjun's ankle. His breath was secretly sent, his spirit was like a thorn, and the method of sealing was like a net!
Senluo Tianjun's eyes became dull. He never thought that he would be subdued by the enemy silently!
What a terrible gap!
Meng Qi changed and turned into a flea, falling into Senluo Tianjun's eyes. He took a step and entered the cabin, as if he needed to rest for a while.
The subordinates around were slightly surprised. This was not like Senluo Tianjun's style!
As soon as the idea came up, they saw Senluo Tianjun coming out, still with a cold look, still in black full body armor, but with a pair of boots on his feet to cover his breath - Kunlun Taoist robe changes!
Meng Qi exhaled. He was only one breath away, and he had to rely on the Dongji Changsheng Pill to expel the poison. Fortunately, after recovering his physical body, the poison in the water was quickly dissolved by the tyrannical physique and did not have time to invade the Yuanshen.
Standing at the bow, Meng Qi inspected everywhere, waiting for the change of guard at dawn.
…………
Inside the rebel camp.
Xu Wei came in and nodded to Meng Qi's clone, Jiang Zhiwei and others: "King Pinghai asked several masters to transfer to the Zhenhai Army camp."
"Okay." This time it was Qi Zhengyan who nodded.
Stepping out of the empty tent, it was already late at night outside. The Qisifeng lanterns were hanging high, illuminating the key points everywhere, but there were still many dark corners, and the cool wind was whistling, making people feel cold.
