Chapter 498
"It's right here!"
Chi Lin looks into the distance at the shore and sees five old willow trees arranged in a row.
Looking down again, three giant rocks at the bottom of the water surround a "pin" shape.
Exactly the same as the meeting place Liang Qu mentioned.
"Huang Lin, Orange Scale, you go to the northeast side, separate slightly; Blue Hui, you go to the southwest side.
Once the white ape chooses to break out from your direction, even if you have to risk your lives, you must stop it. This is the last chance, understand?"
"Understood!"
The group of snake demons shows a serious expression.
Chi Lin has already made it very clear.
The treasures brought out from the Dragon Palace are all used up, Purple Scale died with eyes wide open, if they don't even bring back a single hair of the white ape...
Death might not be the result, but at the very least, they'll be stripped of a layer of skin!
Now they must seize the last window of time to find life in death!
The four demons divide into three columns, surrounding the meeting place.
Chi Lin looks around, inserts its tail into the mud, curls its whole body back, shakes the mud and sand bit by bit, buries itself in the mud, restrains its aura, and merges with the lifeless mud and sand.
The other three follow closely, with large amounts of mud and sand flying.
When the dust fog dissipates.
The entire bottom of the water returns to calm, completely unable to see that four hundred-foot snake demons are hidden underground.
The river wind howls, waves rise and fall, and the misty rain blows in diagonal lines.
"Time is about up."
Liang Qu looks at the hazy sun shadowed in the dark clouds, takes off the Dragon Lingxiao, and hands it to Tatta Kai for safekeeping.
Ignites his golden pupils.
A flash of golden light passes through the pupils of a large school of white fish, which rush in all directions, turning into "old eyes" and "back ears."
Waits quietly for a moment.
The school of fish finds the large boat on the river.
The green light that has been accumulating for a long time in "Cannot Move's" short horns flies out and merges into his body.
A faint green light ring reflects on Liang Qu's back, emitting vigorous vitality.
Twenty-five thousand essence points are invested; the name of "Cannot Move's" 【Divine Wood Recovery】 remains unchanged, but its effectiveness has greatly improved, the total recovery amount has increased by more than half, and the "cooldown" of the last use has been refreshed.
Even the room for manipulation is greater.
Originally it could last fifteen minutes, now it can be compressed to ten minutes, increasing the output rate, or stretched to twenty minutes, reducing the output rate.
【Spirit Transformation】 consumption, 【Divine Wood Recovery】 replenishment, the two are a classic problem of a pool letting water out on one side and letting water in on the other.
Now, not only has the total amount of clear water for 【Divine Wood Recovery】 increased, but the inlet pipe can also control the caliber to a certain extent.
Killing Purple Scale, Liang Qu insisted on five to six minutes.
Now opening two more meridians and containing a few pills, he should be able to fill it for ten minutes with the help of 【Divine Wood Recovery】!
The tactical value of 【Spirit Transformation】 has surged!
"Hoo!"
Liang Qu takes a deep breath, his heart moves.
Endless white ribbons spread and grow from the void, wrapping him into a pure white giant ball.
In an instant, the white ball collapses.
The white ape is born!
Tatta Kai folds the Dragon Lingxiao, unties the Wave-Stepping Flag on its neck, and hands it to the god.
The white ape grabs the River Patrol Office flag and charges into the vortex waterway!
In the few days of effort, besides closed-door cultivation, Liang Qu has been building two vortex waterways.
The two waterways together form an "L" shape, but they are not connected at the turning point, which is the key to dealing with the snake demons!
*Splash! *
The vortex spreads.
The white ape drills out of the waterway.
The snake demons ambushed under the water see the white shadow appear abruptly and are terrified.
This... how did this appear?
Chi Lin's heart sinks sharply; they had no idea the white ape had such a mysterious method of shifting.
How is this to be caught?
Supernatural power?
Why would a mere water demon have supernatural power?
No.
The last time they pursued the white ape, it didn't show such supernatural power...
Chi Lin remains calm, secretly spying.
It shouldn't be an instant supernatural power.
Some kind of passage?
Chi Lin notices that where the white ape appeared, there seems to be an invisible vortex rotating.
Don't know if the white ape built it itself, or...
Liang Qu looks around.
The water grass sways gently.
Small fish are frightened and flee in a panic.
The entire bottom of the water is quiet, completely unable to see that there are snake demons ambushed.
If it weren't for the "Eye Consciousness Method" detecting four needle-like gazes cast from different directions, there would truly be an illusion that the snake demons were a step slow and hadn't arrived.
Liang Qu remains calm, walking from the center of the line connecting the two gazes toward the three giant rocks.
Chi Lin estimates the distance from the passage entrance to the white ape, its whole body tense, determined to leave it behind in one fell swoop!
However.
The white ape swims halfway, suddenly stops, located in the center of the ambush of Blue Hui and Chi Lin, neither entering the encirclement nor retreating to a safe position.
Just lingering on the edge.
Chi Lin is greatly alarmed, thinking it was too hasty and alerted the white ape, busy relaxing its muscles, restraining its heartbeat, and restraining its aura.
About three breaths.
The white ape takes a step forward again, but after two steps, it stops again, scratches its head, and looks around.
Jumps sideways.
Jumps back and forth.
"Damn monkey!"
Chi Lin curses, its nervous heart in its throat.
Finally.
The teasing white ape takes a step, completely entering the inside of Chi Lin and Blue Hui's ambush line.
Chi Lin's heart relaxes slightly, just about to lift its qi, when it sees the white ape suddenly kick off, turn around, and flee backward!
"Not good!"
The group of snakes is terrified.
Ignoring the ambush, Chi Lin and Blue Hui pounce!
On the river surface.
Three large boats cut through the waves, not shaking in the slightest in the big waves.
Clearly without sails raised, such huge boats are surprisingly fast, as if some great demon is lifting them from underwater.
The misty rain washes the deck, reflecting faint sky light.
Several young men squat under the eaves of the cabin, surrounding a large grass carp weighing several dozen jin, pointing and gesturing.
"This grass carp is so strange, it's been following our boat!"
"Really? A grass carp, following our boat?"
"I saw it clearly!"
"Can an ordinary fish keep up with our boat?"
"Look, this fish isn't tired enough, it looks like it's about to die, it's not normal."
"Should we go report it to the King of Yue?"
"Ooh, wouldn't that be making a mountain out of a molehill? Maybe it's about to become a spirit? Relatively abnormal?"
The young man holding the grass carp hesitates.
A grass carp following a boat, reporting it specifically to the King of Yue, always feels like making a mountain out of a molehill.
What if it really is just a "crazy fish," wouldn't that be a huge loss of face?
As they discuss, a large hand reaches through and lifts the grass carp from bottom to top.
The young man looks up, and after seeing clearly, he stands up with a start.
"King of Yue!"
Boom!
Mud and sand shoot into the sky.
Blue Hui opens its snake mouth, a poison arrow shoots out, grazing the white ape's elbow and bringing up a blood arrow.
The white ape "stumbles," and the distance between the snake and the ape closes sharply.
Chi Lin almost explodes its life's limit, blood threads faintly cracking between its scales.
The white ape covers its wound, looking "furious," but seeing the four snake demons chasing behind, it dares not stop and turns to run again.
It seems Blue Hui's toxin is working; the white ape's speed is far from as fast as it was fleeing that day!
The distance between the two sides constantly closes, and just as Chi Lin is about to catch up, the white ape plunges into the waterway and disappears!
Bubbles float up gloomily.
Huang Lin and Orange Scale, falling behind, stiffen, their vertical pupils shrinking into thin lines, the endless emptiness brought by the loss of opportunity surging.
"Damn it!"
A move short.
Chi Lin's scales bristle, the surging anger breaking free from its restraints.
Once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back!
This is already the only chance!
Chi Lin has no hesitation, follows the white ape closely, and plunges in!
Blue Hui follows.
Huang Lin and Orange Scale are dragged along, without much thought, supporting one after another!
The vortex waterway is spinning.
Liang Qu hurriedly shakes out the prepared River Patrol Office flag, drapes it over his body, and just as he rushes out of the tunnel, a pressure as terrifying as a mountain slams down, startling him so his hair stands on end, cold from head to toe, as if the end of the world had arrived.
"Eh?"
The pressure comes fast and goes fast.
Liang Qu is dizzy, glances hurriedly at the giant boat, dares not look more, finds the direction, takes a few steps, and is rolled into the vortex tunnel on the other side, disappearing.
"Wonderful supernatural power..."
At the bow.
The King of Yue taps the ship's railing with his finger bones.
A white ape actually wearing the River Patrol Office's flag?
An unofficial demon member?
But immediately after, from the same passage, a large red-scaled snake rushes out and crashes to the ground.
Following that, blue, yellow, orange...
Four large snakes collide together.
The red-scaled head at the very front almost hits the ship's ribs.
"Snake demon... quite smart."
A whisper rings in Chi Lin's ears; it opens its eyes, startled to see a cold light flashing, its lower belly slightly cool.
Looking down.
The snake gallbladder is gone.
