After the Fairy Disappeared - Chapter 512
Chapter 512 Overlord Lotus
“It’s enough for his subordinates to be sensible, and they all rely on them to check those townships.” Cen Boqing went to He Palace and babbled, “After Master Fan finishes his work, you can see how the surname Tian flatters you.”
“I just hope that Fan Sheng will not miss again this time.”
Cen Boqing smiled heartily: “What are you afraid of? We have the time and the advantage. Every day that is delayed, He Xiao will be more passive.”
Zhong Sunmou thought about it, and felt relieved. According to the analysis of the current situation, there is nowhere for the surname He to bite them.
Identity is the best barrier.
Even the special envoys of the prince of the Chiyan Kingdom, they can’t move them even if they don’t have any real evidence.
“That’s right.” He glanced at Xuan Jing on the table, feeling a little regretful, “I still have to thank him for giving me a big gift. It’s just a pity about the mirror shield.”
The Magical Artifact is an excellent defensive treasure, just suitable for him as a crispy skin. If Fan Sheng kills He Xiao, Mirror Dun will become the family’s trophy and has nothing to do with Zhong Sunmou.
…
He Lingchuan is not decathlon, and his rowing skills are very poor. Fortunately, he was cooperating with Lu Dutong’s soldier, named Jia Yu, who was a local fisherman in Tommy Township before serving as a soldier.
Jia Yu taught him the tricks while paddling. After trying it a few times, He Lingchuan gradually got used to it, and the speed of the boat was greatly accelerated.
The water here is gentle, and the test is nothing more than the ability of the contestants to recognize the way.
Of course, the most important thing is luck.
But He Lingchuan held cheating props and decided to rely on strength rather than luck to win—
He can determine the location of the treasure according to the heat condition of the divine bone necklace.
Assume that the treasure recognized by the **** bone is the “Overlord Lotus”.
Approaching the Lotus Palace, He Lingchuan only knew what it means to connect the sky with infinite lotus leaves. This place is indeed a forest of lotus leaves.
The lotus leaves formed a high green wall after another. When the boat sailed in, it lost its way after a while.
Not to mention the people in the boat, even if the spectators on the Chaohu Pagoda are condescending, most of them cannot see the specific situation in the maze.
“How did you find Bawanglian in the past?” He Lingchuan asked Jia Yu, “Can you ask Shuizu for help?”
“Impossible.” Jia Yu said, “For the sake of fairness, all aquariums have to leave the arena after cleaning the duckweed. At this time, the overlord lotus will grow. And the competition for collecting lotus chips is only open to humans.”
“Can’t these aquariums retreat?” Fish and turtles are hidden in the water, so it’s not easy to be found?
“The local water spirit is the two-hundred-year-old lotus demon. It will pay close attention to the situation on the field.” Jia Yu punted hard, “In the past, there were sixty or seventy people who cheated. Heavy punishment. No one will be so arrogant in the future.”
He Lingchuan shrugged: “That’s good.”
This lotus demon is very powerful. It takes only a few days to grow such a dense lotus palace on the water.
The waterway in the labyrinth is less than two feet wide at its widest point, and the boat can basically only paddle forward, with no place to turn its head; while the narrowest point is only five feet, and the boat can only pass through a squeeze.
Once entering the maze, the surroundings became quiet.
There are only the sound of paddling water from other small boats and the sound of human voices, which come from nowhere.
“Go east.” He Lingchuan said suddenly, “Yes, go ten feet forward.”
Jia Yuqi said: “Do you know what Bawanglian looks like?”
“Uh, I don’t know.” All he knew was that he was out of position, because the bone necklace was quite hot.
“It’s a huge blood-red lotus bud with golden stripes on the surface.”
“Blood red…” He Lingchuan looked around, and found that there were lotus buds waiting to bloom everywhere, branching into the sky, also called lotus arrows. In addition to the most common water red, there are also light pink, light purple, pink white, and light blue, which is really colorful.
Finding a blood-red flower among these tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of lotus buds is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. You must know that the lotus arrows are not yet blooming, and most of them are green calyx, so you may miss them just by looking at them.
Jia Yu just looked around, hating himself for missing a few pairs of eyes.
“Generally speaking, the overlord lotus rarely appears on the outermost periphery and in the middle of the lotus palace.” He murmured, “We have to search more in the middle of the maze. Can you remember the waterway?”
“Barely enough.” He Lingchuan wondered, “How do you know that it rarely appears in the middle?”
“In the past few decades, only seven times have been found in the middle.”
“Really?” He Lingchuan looked towards the north, “Don’t worry about it, follow me.”
“Do you have a way?”
“Yes.” He Lingchuan said with a smile, “I can figure it out, it’s better than you looking for it aimlessly.”
Jia Yu cheered up: “Okay! I’ll paddle wherever you point.”
Xiaozhou walked for a while, and he was deeply trapped in the maze.
The setting of the Dutch Palace is also very wicked. The scenes at both ends of the waterway are often exactly the same, so you can’t find the north at all after a few back and forth.
Especially in this kind of cloudy day, it is not even possible to use the sun in the sky to locate.
It was quiet all around, only two silly frogs jumped out of the water occasionally.
The sacred bone necklace suddenly became hot, and He Lingchuan gasped.
Their boat was rowing very slowly, and they were about to turn around in a small circle. Why was the necklace so hot all of a sudden?
Is the target getting farther away?
After the overlord lotus grows out, it should stay still. Could it be that the divine bone necklace is pointing to something else?
Don’t, don’t cheat him, three Xuanjing are still on the Chaohu Pagoda!
He Lingchuan suddenly felt his head was as big as a bucket.
But he had no choice but to ask Jia Yu to turn around again and head north.
The special envoy often turned the ship around in circles, and Jia Yu got used to it, he was only obedient and didn’t talk too much.
Fortunately, nothing happened to the divine bone necklace, and the direction was very clear.
The further He Lingchuan advances, the lower its heat will be.
“Keep your eyes wide open.” He reminded Jia Yu, “It should be around here.”
Jia Yu really looked left and right, for fear of missing it.
At this time, less than three quarters of an hour had passed since the start of the match. The two of He Lingchuan had already walked to the northeast corner of the entire maze, and there were fewer and fewer small boats on the way, and now only the sound of insects and frogs was left to accompany them.
As Jia Yu said, everyone doesn’t like the edge position, and thinks that the possibility of finding Bawanglian here is too small.
But the bone necklace leads here.
“There!” Jia Yu suddenly pointed, almost jumping up with excitement.
Competition for six years, accompanied by running every year, he has never found Bawanglian in the maze.
“Shhh!” He Lingchuan pointed to his lips, telling him to be calm, “Swipe over, hurry up.”
Among the layers of lotus walls, there are hundreds of lotus arrows, one of which is blood red, with two thin and shallow gold patterns on the surface. Because it hasn’t bloomed yet, the lines are very inconspicuous.
It’s hard for Jia Yu to find it.
He Lingchuan’s heart beat faster than expected. This thing is worth 50,000 taels of silver.
Mirror chuckled twice: “Have you already thought about it, if someone else finds it first, you will take the lotus with a sword?”
If this kid didn’t catch it, his loss would be one hundred thousand taels!
If you are not rich, how can you afford such a worse situation?
“No.” He Lingchuan whispered, “Even if I lose, Zhong Sunmou won’t be able to take my money.”
He smiled firmly and sinisterly, and the mirror actually shuddered, as if returning to the time when He Lingchuan used to calculate it.
The boat moved forward quickly, Jia Yu didn’t wait for it to stop, and plunged into the water with a knife in his mouth.
The essence of grabbing chips is just one word:
quick!
He went to Bawanglian, He Lingchuan also waited with bated breath.
Two puffs, the lotus leaf suddenly swayed left and right, startling both of them.
But a black-headed duck rushed out of the lotus wall, rattled them twice angrily, and then ran away quickly by stepping on the water.
“Dead bird!” Jia Yu cursed, if it was normal, he would have roasted the duck.
At this moment, a few ripples suddenly appeared on the water surface one foot behind He Lingchuan.
A short Artemisia pole sticks out of the water without a sound—this kind of thing is common around here—points at He Lingchuan, and suddenly shoots a blow dart!
Then a shadow broke out of the water and went straight to He Lingchuan.
Although the Artemisia rod is perfunctory, the blowing arrow is not perfunctory. When the shot is halfway through, the speed suddenly doubles, and the arrow branch changes from one to three, taking the back of He Lingchuan’s head, back heart, and tail vertebra in the shape of “pin”.
The arrows are all made of 100-year-old steel, with a faint white light attached, which has the effect of breaking the gang, and superimposed with the protection of Yuanli, it is not a problem to penetrate the true energy of the body protection.
Once hit, it will be half disabled even if it is not dead.
Jumping out of the water, the man moved extremely fast. Although he shot backward, he was already three feet behind the arrow, and he swung his ax like a crescent moon.
This blow was stored for more than three quarters of an hour until he was exhausted. The moment of the shot was really like a thunderbolt, no matter whether He Lingchuan evaded or blocked it, he couldn’t avoid his full blow.
The wind on the blade of the ax was so strong that even the air was ripped apart. The violent air wave pushed towards He Lingchuan, and the feeling of facing it directly was no less than a tornado directly sweeping his face.
Not to mention that you can’t open your eyes, even your body shape will be tightly suppressed.
As this person, if you don’t make a move, it’s fine, and if you make a move, you have to complete your work in one blow.
As soon as the blowing arrow was released, He Lingchuan seemed to have eyes behind his back, and fell to the ground like a tiger, fitting himself forward and falling forward.
After waiting for so long, the opponent finally attacked.
How could the small boat withstand his strength, the bow sank to the draft, and of course the stern was raised high, just in front of the three blow arrows.
Ding Ding three times, the blow arrow passed through the wood and hit the lotus wall in front.
One can imagine how powerful it is.
The man behind almost caught up with Blowing Arrow, that is to say, the upturned stern of the boat also blocked his way, giving him a slap in the face!
With a click, the stern of the ship split into several sections, and sawdust flew all over the sky.
The power of this ax remained undiminished, the seven-foot lotus wall in front was cut down by the rushing ax wind, and the tall stems rustled into the water.
Fortunately, Jia Yu just came out of the water and hadn’t climbed up the lotus wall, otherwise he would have been cut in half.
He shrank his head in fright, and He Lingchuan’s voice sounded next to his ears: “Blow the lotus, hurry up!”
The lotus wall was cut down, half of the stem of the overlord lotus was broken, and it was blown up and down by the wind of the axe. I was afraid it would break in a second.
Jia Yu has been a soldier for many years, obeying orders has almost been baked into his instincts, and he hugged Bawanglian when he heard this. In his opinion, what the sneak attacker wanted was also this lotus flower, and as long as he snatched it first, the overall situation was settled.
