Chapter 80 Am I a cow or a horse?
Zhong Ming was having a great time swimming in the river, and he killed a few fish and put them into his storage bag. Suddenly, he heard a sound coming from the surface of the water, but he couldn't hear it clearly.
He poked his head out and looked around. The boats on the river were already far upstream, and he could only see the girl behind him.
"What did you say~~~"
After being asked this question, her body stiffened even more, her face full of embarrassment, but she really had no choice. She had planned to exchange her military merit points for the flying spell, but the real ultimate skill, the escape technique, was only for escaping and would cause great harm to herself.
She repeated it softly again, but all she got in return was Zhong Ming's rapid approach.
Then... the man shouted, "What did you say? I can't hear you!"
The repeated questioning, almost touching her face, made it even harder for her to speak.
"I...I can't..."
"What? There's a boat but no oars?"
Zhong Ming finally understood: the girl wouldn't sink, but she didn't seem to have any skill in navigating the river.
"Alright, I'll take you there."
Seeing the man dive into the water, she instinctively wanted to see everything beneath the surface, but quickly covered her eyes, forcing herself to stop using her pupil technique.
The eye technique passed down through generations in the Valley of Ten Thousand Soldiers is extremely effective, capable of seeing through many disguises and hidden spiritual patterns. However, it is difficult to cultivate and consumes a great deal of energy, so it cannot be used lightly.
As she covered her eyes, a pair of large hands suddenly reached out from underwater and grabbed the bow, but because her feet were also on the bow, they grabbed her left foot.
Her movements were as swift as lightning; she took an arrow from her storage bag and thrust it downwards.
Fortunately, Zhong Ming felt something was wrong with his hand and let go, otherwise his palm would have been pierced with a big hole.
"Hey! What is that?"
Zhong Ming emerged from directly below her. Just as he was about to look up, he was immediately stomped on in the face and kicked down.
Who would peek out from directly below a girl and look up at her?
This incident brought Zhong Ming to his senses; he almost mistook this girl for a professional soldier like Xueyan who didn't care about trivial matters.
You've been too forward with the beautiful lady. You've been too forward with the beautiful lady.
The girl immediately realized her mistake. How could she ask someone for a favor and then take it away from them? She quickly shifted her weight, turned around, knelt on the large bow, and reached her hand under the water to help pull Zhong Ming up.
Then... Master Cuihong emerged from in front of the great bow.
"I'm sorry..."
As soon as he came out, he saw the girl with her big butt sticking out in the water looking for him, so he had to dive down again and pop out from behind her.
She searched guiltily, but when she saw Zhong Ming emerge from the water as if nothing had happened, her thoughts went blank, and she didn't know what to say.
"Um, holding onto your bow... might be a bit bumpy. How about this, I'll get a rope, tie it to your big bow, and then I'll tie the rope around my waist and swim forward, okay?"
She nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Thank you." But by then, Zhong Ming had already dived underwater to start tying the rope.
You should pack a variety of things in your storage bag, just in case!
After tying a knot around his waist, Zhong Ming began to swim vigorously. The red light was already approaching the shore; it was time to swim seriously.
and many more.
Why do I feel like I'm a beast of burden?
A few breaths later, he had already swum dozens of feet with the bow drawn. In the water, his speed was definitely comparable to that of a person in the late stage of Qi Refining.
With each powerful stroke, the drag on the bow intensified, and the girl was nearly knocked over by the sudden jerk under her feet and fell into the river. She had no choice but to bend her knees and squat down, leaning forward to try to adapt to the man's violent impact.
Zhong Ming swam, feeling his flesh and blood stretch and his whole body feel comfortable. The water of the Jue River was much clearer than that of the Ye Lan River, except...
Why does my back feel a little itchy?
At this moment, the girl also noticed something was wrong. Zhong Ming's back was arched high and was constantly wriggling, which looked disgusting.
At first, she thought some fish had darted into his clothes, but as the swimming became more intense, she realized something was wrong. It looked more like a wild animal trapped in a snare, struggling to tear its clothes apart.
Normally, she would have already nocked an arrow and aimed at the enemy, but now she didn't know what to do, so she took out an arrow and held it in her hand, using it as a short spear.
Zhong Ming was slapped and suddenly remembered that there was a mining mole on his back. The little guy had finally woken up. When the monster was asleep, it was fine to put it in water, but now that it was awake, it was a different story.
"The little one is awake? Hold on, I'll get ashore right away."
The mine mole couldn't understand Zhong Ming's words at all, and it was already in a state of panic.
Oh my god!!! The cave is flooded!!!
For mining moles, a flooded burrow is a life-threatening event. If they encounter water, it's either because they're too stupid to hear the sound of water and have dug into an underground river, or they're incredibly unlucky and have dug into the bottom of a deep lake.
The lake water flowed back into the cave, and there was no chance of survival. The water would not stop until it completely submerged every inch of the cave.
It kept struggling, and to appease it, Zhong Ming had to float on the surface of the water and swim. From a distance, it looked like a big fish dragging the woman in red armor forward.
It definitely has enough presence.
The mine mole choked on some water and, driven to desperation, bit Zhong Ming on the back.
"Wow!!!"
Zhong Ming suddenly sprang to his feet, arching his entire body, which startled the girl. She gripped the long arrow tightly, ready to strike.
“Girl, my pet is being naughty. I need to get ashore first. Let’s go to the shore and walk along the riverbank.”
She nodded.
In fact, Zhong Ming didn't even look at her; he turned and swam towards the shore.
A few minutes later...
Zhong Ming jumped onto the shore and used a set of gorilla scratches to grab the mining mole.
The girl also lightly jumped ashore, pulled the rope, hauled up the large bow, shook it a few times, and carried it on her back.
The words "thank you" were already on the tip of my tongue, but I swallowed them back and whispered, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Ow!"
Zhong Ming let out a series of howls and wails, finally managing to pull the mine mole down, leaving a trail of blood. The big black rat's mouth was dripping with blood, which terrified her so much that she immediately assumed a fighting stance.
"Here you go, hold it and don't move."
Then, Master Cuihong conjured a mid-grade earth-attribute spirit stone from his hand, stuffed it into the mouth of the mining mole, grabbed the back of its neck with one hand, and grumbled as he pulled at its clothes, performing a demonstration of undressing with one hand.
"Hey, miss, could you help me apply some medicine first?"
She looked at the mining mole in the man's hand, a large black rat holding a mid-grade spirit stone in its two small paws, with the spirit stone in its mouth, its body occasionally twitching to shake off the water droplets; then she looked at the small bite wound on its back, and nervously reached out to touch the edge of the wound.
"Hiss~~ This wound is really troublesome. Do you have any medicine to remove the smell of blood? I bet the tree wolves can smell it."
