Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 610 Yi Que Yuan (Part )

Even with the vision granted by this strange flower, the underwater world is still not a world that can be seen at a glance. It is unknown when the end of the rugged and dark rocky bushes and grass will be. Now that he has a sense of direction, he still doesn't know where to go.

Pei Ye was floating slowly at the bottom of the stone, and suddenly said, "Kitty, have you noticed that the water here is flowing towards us?"

Black Cat nodded.

In fact, it was a moment earlier. When they broke through the blockade of the mermaids, the black dragon turned into a cat and shrank back into Pei Ye's arms. The trend of the water had some slight disturbances and reverberations, which were ripples caused by the flow rushing into the stillness.

It is from there that as you go further inward, the water at the bottom of the lake is no longer peaceful and still. Even if you are floating quietly without swimming, you can still feel the faint current brushing against your exposed skin.

It is a gentle countercurrent for all living things that enter here.

"So, the mermaids can't enter this kind of water flow... They gather outside and move forward cautiously." Pei Ye said, "This place is also an unknown depth for them."

So they would report such short notes every day, calling this matter "the scales gnawing at the door", and record the day's progress - "saw two flowers", "drilled three feet deeper", and so on.

"The way they dig in is probably to explore and then pull out this kind of flower." The black cat suddenly said.

"Ok?"

"Look." The black cat raised its paw and pointed. On the stone wall not far away, a fairy-like Roselle peach tree was quietly blooming there. The transparent silk on the stem indicated that it had an owner.

"This flower blooms in the countercurrent, affecting the balance and five senses of the mermaids. It is a prohibition that grows from this land." The black cat said, "Relying on these two things, it refuses all living creatures from entering - you see, we have only walked a hundred or eighty feet, and even the small fish have become scarce."

These tiny firefly-like creatures cannot understand that the chaotic directions mean they are not to be approached; once they swim in, they may never leave for the rest of their lives.

"But these mermaids don't dare to get close, so how can we get rid of them?" Pei Ye said.

"people."

"……people?"

"You see, mermaids don't need to take mermaid pearl powder to enter here."

“……” Pei Ye nodded slowly.

They recklessly broke into this unknown forbidden area. The mermaids outside cooperated with humans in advancing and exploring alternately, searching for some kind of "road" and "door" in the depths.

"What do you think this place is?" Pei Ye asked softly.

"That's probably something you should ask Yu Sicheng," said the black cat. "This is exactly what he has been working so hard for. He probably arrived here when the mermaids were first brought here nine years ago... He certainly knows what he is looking for."

"But he hasn't succeeded yet. What has he been doing for the past nine years?" Pei Ye muttered.

The black cat didn't answer, and said, "He came in."

"Coming toward us?"

"No, lingering in the shallows."

After losing the pursuit of the merman, the purple-robed eunuch seemed to have lost track of their whereabouts... Pei Ye was thinking silently when he suddenly sensed a large disturbance in the water flow here for the first time. He subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw a face turning out from behind a large rock, looking vigilant and searching.

The man was wearing a black leather jacket and a pair of water-dividing spikes on his waist. The moment he met his face, a pair of yellow pupils were already locked on him.

The man immediately blew out an extremely sharp whistle, and it was obvious that the water whistle had been held between his teeth.

Then he immediately pulled out the water-dividing spear from his waist, twisted his waist to adjust to a posture suitable for fighting, kicked off the stone and pounced towards Pei Ye.

This agility was beyond Pei Ye's expectation. He could clearly see that this person had never enjoyed the gift from the Goddess of Luo River, but he used a series of other means to achieve underwater activities - the unique underwater martial arts he developed in the Linshui Sect since childhood, his agile body that was accustomed to floating for many years, and eyes that achieved night vision through some secret technique... These people were obviously the real consumers of the mermaid pearl powder.

Pei Ye just never expected that they would come so deep and so quickly.

He twisted his sword horizontally and blocked the water-dividing spear that was coming straight at him. When the two sides collided, Pei Ye immediately showed his inferior strength - this man turned out to be the real Ba Sheng!

The moment he received this information, the opponent twisted his waist with all his strength, and used his two swords to cross-exert force, trying to wrench the boy's sword off.

This skillful force spread throughout his body, showing his years of underwater kung fu. To be honest, this man would not be a weaker opponent than Chen Renzhong.

Pei Ye let go of his sword. Between the two power exchanges, he knew that he could not get stuck in the water to compete with him. He let his sword be twisted away, raised his hand and grasped a red fire, and punched the opponent in the face with a roaring flame! The pressure of the black fire on the pulse realm was really great. The opponent immediately gave up and raised his hand. The flexible underwater kung fu was good at releasing the force. He raised his palm and elbow, leaned and pushed, and avoided the oncoming heavy punch. After the sword was gone, the boy's hand kung fu was indeed difficult to enter the first-class ranks.

But Pei Ye had no intention of fighting him. Now he was enjoying the amazing agility in the water. He grabbed his shoulder with his backhand, put his other hand on his elbow and used force to lock his entire arm. Then he tilted his chin to avoid the opponent's kick and whispered, "Pull the silk."

Ba Sheng's reaction was as fast as lightning. This old martial arts expert was also much smarter than the merman. He turned around to protect her in an instant, not sparing his powerful internal energy.

However, the Water-Dividing Spear that he had just discarded had become a fatal foreshadowing. The young man's sword was as good as in his hand when it was not in his hand, especially after he changed into the Jade Tiger. He put his fingers together and hooked it. The Jade Tiger with a floating trajectory hit the pair of Emei Spears with two crisp "ding ding" sounds, and the weapon a dozen feet away suddenly turned into three mysterious streams of light.

One pierced into his left leg, one pierced into his right arm, and then the vermilion jade color smeared on the Jade Tiger Sword blade, cut into the soft and corrupt true qi, and cut off his neck in an instant.

Pei Ye took the sword and let go, letting the still twitching corpse fall. He raised his arm to take a look. After just one round of fighting, a large bruise was left on his arm, and a small piece of the old wound on his shoulder was also broken.

He was treating his injuries, and Black Cat said, "Now do you know what they have been doing for the past nine years?"

The other party's infiltration here was indeed deeper than Pei Ye had expected, and their methods were more numerous than Pei Ye had expected. It can be imagined that when they just arrived here, the other party began to hunt them down, and even entered here one step earlier than him in order to stop him.

"I hope this area can be bigger... let us delay a little longer." Pei Ye sighed softly and raised his wrist to look at the scale mark, which had become a little faint.

"Where is Yu Sicheng?" He bent down and quickly touched the corpse, only finding some basic lighting and chiseling tools.

There was also a piece of paper that did not get wet when it was put into the water. On it was written a reminder: "Go upstream for 300 feet and then stop."

"They are chasing us this way."

"Let's take a detour." Pei Ye said.

He made a detour and went deeper again. Although that was written on the note, with a powerful enemy behind him, he could not stop at 300 feet. He went deeper and deeper. After about half a quarter of an hour, the environment did begin to change. He said softly, "Kitty, do you feel that the terrain is getting higher and higher?"

The Black Cat said nothing. In fact, it was not that the terrain was getting higher and higher, but that the countercurrent they were in seemed to be lifted up, and the water was rising towards the front.

Pei Ye didn't know how to describe this feeling, but this was indeed water in the water. He couldn't see its edge or where it came from, but as it rose high up, small schools of fish followed it upstream, and water plants also grew upward, as if it was carrying the entire ecosystem off the ground. Pei Ye also began to feel a sense of being lifted up involuntarily.

This wonderful feeling was like climbing a mountain, but it was Pei Ye's first time to climb a mountain by swimming... The surroundings became increasingly quiet, as if both the mermaids and humans had never arrived here.

He came to the "top of the mountain", and then the upward trend stopped and the trend began to go downward again - but the direction of the water flow never changed, and now it was still flowing towards him from the bottom up, as if there was a distant source.

But at this moment, the black cat frowned.

"what happened?"

"...Yu Sicheng's speed seems a bit slow."

"Ok?"

"Since the fight with that guy just now, he hasn't gotten much closer to us." Black Cat frowned, "Does being underwater have such a big impact on him?"

Pei Ye was stunned for a moment, his heart sank: "What is your Chihuo hanging on?"

"…Paonei, you mean…"

"Hurry up!" Pei Ye immediately went downstream.

Going downstream, Pei Ye tried his best to skim through the water. He completed the descent in just a few dozen breaths and came to a flat "valley" again. There was no dark and dense stone forest here, nor were there long, swaying water plants.

Growing on the ground are short, shallow grass sprouts, covering the ground with tender green. Small schools of fish flit above them, just like emerald green insects jumping upwards to find food.

This should have been a beautiful sight, but Pei Ye stopped here, slowly grasped the sword and pursed his lips.

A tall, white-haired eunuch with a gloomy and indifferent face was standing in the field. The wide golden and purple robe was gone, and he was only wearing a white inner robe. His dark yellow pupils were probably the same secret as the person he just met. His carefully maintained white hair fluttered forward under the influence of the water.

In his hand he held a heavy iron spear.

"I really want to kill you." Yu Sicheng whispered, Huang Tong stared at him, "How dare you... go so deep here."
