Chapter 260 - Kushui Area!
Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Kushui Area!
Ren Qi and the others’ gazes landed on the stone bridge in front of them where the huge rock had fallen.
Looking at the cracks that covered the stone bridge, their expressions tensed up.
A large number of cracks had appeared on the stone bridge. It was enough to see just how powerful the huge falling rock was.
Soon after, under Ren Qi and the others’ shocked gazes, the stone bridge at the spot where the falling rock had landed suddenly broke. The huge rock that had fallen quickly fell downwards.
This huge rock had actually directly smashed the stone bridge into pieces!
!!Ren Qi and the others’ gazes landed in front of them. They saw a few huge rocks falling down. They either smashed the stone bridge into pieces or directly cracked sections of the bridge.
Miraculously, the broken parts of the stone bridge were quickly wrapped by black fog. After which, the entire stone bridge returned to its original state.
This happened again and again!
The places on the stone bridge that were smashed were all randomly chosen. There was completely no pattern to speak of.
“That rock is so big. It is already one-tenth the size of my territory. Wouldn’t it smash a person flat if it landed on him?” Tian Jizi clicked his tongue slightly as he watched the scene of the huge rock falling in front of him.
Zhao Yuheng also frowned and said, “According to Senior Long Yi, there is no pattern in this area. In other words, whether the rock will suddenly fall from the sky when we pass by the stone bridge depends on luck.”
“If our luck is bad, I’m afraid we will have to resist the falling rock!”
Xuan Ming said, “Resist it? My mechanical army won’t be able to resist it. I think only the black flood dragons or the silver dragons can resist the falling rock, right?”
Hermione’s eyes flashed, but she did not decline. “If it’s necessary, I can have the silver dragon block the falling rocks.”
These rocks were very huge, and their weight was definitely very high.
Although the silver dragons were very strong and had a strong resistance ability, letting them face the falling rocks head-on would still cause some damage to them.
However, Bel Hermione did not hesitate at all and chose to step forward.
Because she knew in her heart that she was in the Cloud, and that was the best way to get recognition.
She did not put in much effort during the previous few operations, but she had shared all the benefits equally.
Therefore, when it was time for her to step forward, she also chose to step forward without hesitation.
Only by doing so would she be able to stay in this organization and continue to obtain more benefits together.
Bel Hermione’s family was a vassal of Zhao Yuheng’s Zhao clan, so she was naturally more willing to assist the Cloud.
Moreover, because her silver dragon had used the Life Holy Stone, its physique had reached a very good level.
Even if it withstood the falling boulders, it shouldn’t suffer too much damage.
Zhao Yuheng glanced at Bel Hermione, then her gaze fell on Ren Qi. “Ren Qi, I’ll leave the decision-making to you.”
Ren Qi had the black flood dragons, Xu Xinghe’s black dragons, the black turtles and xuanwu divine turtles, which had stronger defenses, brought over. It was normal for him to be in charge of this place.
Ren Qi nodded when he heard this. Then, he looked at Xu Xinghe and said, “Get your black dragon, Bel Hermione’s silver dragon, and the black flood dragon to rise into the air and defend in the sky. Be ready to block the falling rocks at any time.”
Then, Ren Qi looked at Guo Feiyang and said, “Your xuanwu divine turtles and the black turtles will go to these dragons and help them block the falling rocks.”
The xuanwu divine turtles and black turtles had the strongest defense, so the destructive power of the falling rocks was basically nothing to them.
In this case, the silver dragons and black flood dragons below would only need to bear the impact of the falling rocks.
Guo Feiyang nodded, indicating that he would obey the arrangement.
“Okay! Let’s set off when we’re ready. We’ll pass through here carefully!” Ren Qi looked at the few of them and said.
Then, he signaled to Long Yi ahead that they could continue moving forward.
This time, Long Yi did not let the Dark Divine Dragon clan circle Ren Qi and the others. Instead, he directly led it forward.
This was because there was no longer any spiritual attack here. There was no longer any need for the Dark Divine Dragon clan’s protection.
Soon, Long Yi and the Dark Divine Dragon clan beside him quickly moved forward and arrived on the stone bridge.
After stepping on the stone bridge, Long Yi and the dark divine dragons suddenly increased their speed and quickly rushed forward.
If one wanted to reduce the probability of the stone falling on them, one had to quickly pass through this place.
Seeing Long Yi and the Dark Divine Dragon clan quickly rush out, the soldiers behind also followed closely behind. Without any hesitation, they directly rushed forward quickly.
When they arrived on the stone bridge, a huge rock suddenly fell down in front of them, causing the stone bridge to suddenly tremble.
The tremors caused by the huge rock falling down at such a close distance caused Ren Qi and the others’ expressions to become increasingly grave.
The power of the huge rock was a little stronger than they had imagined.
“Hurry up and pass through this place! The faster, the better!” Ren Qi shouted towards the surroundings. Subsequently, the speed of the group increased once again.
However, because of the team’s acceleration, the entire team began to be stretched.
The silver, black, and black flood dragons above each carried the black turtles or the xuanwu divine turtles and flew above the team, covering the entire team.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yuheng’s undying blood phoenix was below these dragons.
Although these silver dragons and black flood dragons might not be as good as the undying blood phoenix in terms of combat strength, the undying blood phoenix was far inferior to these giant dragons and black flood dragons in terms of defense.
After sprinting forward for five minutes, the stone only fell in front of them. After that, the stone bridge quickly recovered. Surprisingly, Ren Qi and the others were not affected at all.
This made Ren Qi and the others’ tensed expressions slightly better.
“It seems that our luck is not bad. Up until now, we still haven’t suffered any damage from the falling stone!” Tian Jizi said with a soft laugh.
Xuan Ming said, “Don’t let your guard down. The huge rocks might fall soon.”
Just as Xuan Ming finished speaking, a huge rock suddenly broke through the black fog in the sky and fell towards the group.
Ren Qi and the others’ gazes landed on Xuan Ming.
Xuan Ming said, “∑(O_O; )”
Boom!
The silver dragons in the sky quickly gathered together and directly caught the huge rock.
Following this muffled sound, the silver dragons’ bodies suddenly fell down, almost falling onto the stone bridge.
These silver dragons let out a sorrowful cry. It was obvious that they were under a lot of pressure.
A few silver dragons even spat out a mouthful of blood.
On the other hand, the black turtle on the silver dragons only stuck its limbs and head into the turtle shell. Its body shook slightly, but it was not seriously injured.
In fact, it did not even suffer any minor injuries.
If it were not for the fact that the black turtle couldn’t fly, Ren Qi would have allowed it to carry these giant rocks alone.
Feeling the pressure of the giant rocks at a close distance made Ren Qi and the others feel a little gloomy.
Not only did these giant rocks look extremely powerful, but they also emitted an enormous pressure.
Even though the silver dragon was able to resist the falling giant rock, the giant rock seemed to be able to continuously increase the pressure. It was still pressuring the silver dragon to continuously descend.
Below, Ren Qi and the others felt as if a black cloud was rapidly descending from the sky.
Ren Qi and the others once again increased their speed. However, following a muffled sound, another giant rock fell from the sky and smashed downwards.
The black flood dragons hurriedly dragged some black turtles and xuanwu divine turtles up to resist this huge rock.
The black flood dragon also let out a sorrowful cry. Their bodies descended rapidly. They only managed to stabilize their bodies when they were about to reach Ren Qi and the others’ heads.
However, just like the silver dragon, the black flood dragon also continued to descend slowly. It was as if they were too weak to bear the weight of the huge rock.
“Holy sh*t! Xuan Ming, you are really a jinx. Just when you said that the giant rock would come, two more came!” Tian Jizi looked at Xuan Ming and said with an exaggerated expression.
Xuan Ming’s expression was very awkward. He looked at Tian Jizi and said, “How would I know that this giant rock would come just like that? It has nothing to do with me, all right?”
“I even said that there would be another one. Will it continue to descend?”
As Xuan Ming’s voice fell, another piercing sound rang out. A huge rock was directly revealed from the black fog as it rapidly descended.
A black dragon hurriedly went up and blocked the huge rock. Its body descended to the same height as the black flood dragon.
Xuan Ming: “∑(O_O;) ?”
What did they mean?
What are they trying to do to me?
What if I say that the stone will fall three times in a row?
Zhao Yuheng looked at Xuan Ming meaningfully and said softly, “You should stop talking for now.”
Xuan Ming: “…”
With the huge stone on its body, the flying speed of the silver dragon and the black flood dragon in the sky became very slow.
After a short moment of hesitation, Ren Qi decided to slow down.
If he rushed out at this time and another huge stone fell in front of him, he was afraid that there would be injuries.
“No, don’t tell me that we have to carry these huge rocks through here?” Tian Jizi raised his head and looked at the silhouette of the huge rock. He was a little puzzled as he asked.
Li Tianlan: “Those huge rocks that fell down earlier broke the stone bridge and fell down. These huge rocks did not fall onto the stone bridge and they did not break the stone bridge either. It is really possible.”
The group continued to move forward. Meanwhile, the figures of the silver dragons and the black flood dragon tribe above began to descend more and more.
Just as Ren Qi and the rest were wondering if they should directly carry these huge rocks over the stone bridge, the huge rock on the silver dragon’s body suddenly shattered.
The huge rock shattered and directly turned into a large amount of black fog. This black fog surged and directly spread toward the top of the stone bridge below, wrapping around the stone bridge.
Ren Qi was startled when he saw this. After which, he spoke, “When we saw the stone bridge being broken, black fog would quickly surge and wrap around the stone bridge to repair it.”
“Previously, I thought that the black fog had some kind of special power. Now, it seems that the power to repair the stone bridge is in the black fog that these rocks have turned into.”
Zhao Yuheng nodded when she heard Ren Qi’s words. “This place is a little strange. I wonder how these black rocks landed and how they turned into black fog to wrap around the stone bridge to allow it to recover.”
This kind of power had already exceeded the understanding of these new lords.
Even the erudite Ren Qi had not seen any records of this kind of power in any of the books he had read before.
At this moment, Long Yi’s voice sounded from the front.
“This is the power of laws. Naturally, you guys don’t understand it. Hurry up and we will pass through this small area soon.”
The power of laws!
The expressions of Ren Qi and the others changed slightly. They did not have much understanding of the power of laws, so they could only make guesses out of thin air.
The group continued forward. At this moment, the rocks on the black flood dragon and the black dragon turned into black fog that wrapped around the stone bridge.
After Ren Qi and the others experienced another two huge rocks falling down, they safely crossed the stone bridge.
After crossing the stone bridge, everyone’s gaze fell on Xuan Ming.
A total of five boulders fell down, and the two boulders behind them fell separately. Only the three boulders fell down one after another after Xuan Ming opened his mouth.
This fellow’s mouth was really powerful!
Xuan Ming:”…”
If I shouldn’t speak, I won’t speak!
After crossing the stone bridge, there was still a stretch of black fog in front of them. However, the density of the black fog was clearly very low. The visibility of the surroundings had also reached about two-thirds of what it was outside.
Ren Qi and the others also improved the situation of the silver dragon and the black flood dragon.
The black turtle and the xuanwu divine turtle were completely fine. They were still alive and kicking.
The silver dragon and the black flood dragon were not doing well. They were basically suffering from internal injuries. They needed to swallow some demonic meat and slowly recover.
This caused Ren Qi’s heart to sink slightly.
Although there were no casualties in this rocky area, it had also caused their battle strength to drop a little.
It would probably take some time for these dragons to recover their battle strength.
However, they had yet to reach the forbidden land.
According to what the Long Yi had said, they still had to pass through the last small area.
After passing through this small area, they would only be able to pass through the lost area completely. It was unknown if there were other areas after that.
Soon, Ren Qi’s gaze fell on Long Yi, who was at the front.
“Senior Long Yi, what’s the next small area? Please tell us in detail.”
Information was still very important. He had to know the information of the next small area so that he could pass through it more easily.
Long Yi looked ahead and said with a solemn expression, “The last small area here is the Kushui area, which is a water area.”
“As long as you swim past this water area and reach the other side, it will be fine.”
“However, this is the last small area of the lost zone. It will have an extremely strong insanity effect.”
“If you get lost in the Kushui water, you will sink directly into the water and will never be able to come up again.”
Ren Qi and the others were startled when they heard Long Yi’s words. They did not expect that the last small area would be so dangerous.
After passing through the previous small areas, Ren Qi and the others had a very deep impression of the insanity here.
It was a kind of mental power that could completely make people lose themselves and be unable to control their own bodies.
An extremely strong insanity effect?
Ren Qi was slightly worried. It was likely that some soldiers would not be able to resist this effect.
Zhao Yuheng said, “The effects of a more intense insanity are worse than the first time when we fell into the illusion. I’m afraid that it will at least cause the black flood dragons and the black dragons that swallowed the tarnished to be lost.”
Xuan Ming said, “We have to think of a way. Otherwise, I’m afraid that a large number of soldiers will be lost here.”
Ren Qi nodded. “From the current situation, a clear-headed troop should be able to help a troop that has fallen into a daze wake up.”
“The frost witch spirits are very immune to spiritual energy. They shouldn’t fall into a daze.”
“How about this? Fang Qian, have your frost witch spirits spread out among the troops. If a troop or a new lord falls into a daze, you let them move on their own and help the dazed person wake up.”
“In addition, you can also use the method just now. Those who are awake, such as the xuanwu divine turtle and the undying blood phoenix, can carry the troops that are dazed forward.”
Hearing Ren Qi’s words, Zhao Yuheng and the others nodded.
This was the best method they could think of now.
“Then it’s settled. Get ready.”
Ren Qi nodded at Fang Qian. Then, a large number of frost witch spirits were scattered into the team.
The xuanwu divine turtles and the undying blood phoenixes also scattered in large numbers, especially the undying blood phoenixes.
They had not been dazed before, so they could be considered the main force of this ‘carry’, ready to save the dazed troops or new lords at any time.
Long Yi led the team forward and soon arrived at the Kushui area ahead.
It was a huge lake, and they could see the other side from afar.
On the lake, black fog lingered. Although it was thin, it gave people a mysterious feeling.
“You can’t fly in the Kushui area. You can only swim here. You have to be careful.”
After saying this, Long Yi led the dark divine dragons into the water ahead.
Then, Long Yi and a dozen dark divine dragons quickly swam toward the opposite shore.
Looking at the Kushui area that was shrouded in black fog, Ren Qi and the others did not hesitate and immediately ordered their troops to enter the water.
Ren Qi rode on Han Wu’s body and entered the water.
In the water, it was better to ride on Han Wu’s body.
Beside Ren Qi, Elise and the others followed closely to prevent Ren Qi from getting lost.
After entering the water, the first thing Ren Qi felt was ice-cold.
The quality of the Kushui water was very good, but it was very cold.
However, other than that, he did not feel anything else.
The entire team entered the Kushui water area and began to swim quickly.
Half a day later, they were almost at the center of the lake, but Ren Qi still did not see any soldiers going insane.
However, the lake seemed to be getting colder and colder.
