Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 357 Crossing Dragon's Throat Gorge, the Azure Dragon Banner with the Character "Du"
"There are still eight ships..."

Liu Sheng withdrew his gaze, his brows furrowing into a single line.

Not easy to deal with!

The Mysterious Old Monster has lived for hundreds of years, from the previous era of spiritual tides to the present, and who knows how many hidden cards he has up his sleeve.

With a difference of two major realms, even with the help of an avatar, the opponent's strength is unknown. If they were to fight rashly, the outcome would be uncertain.

Of course, this is just him trying to glorify himself.

If they were on land, he might have the ability to deal with the demonic ape incarnation, but on this vast river, there are countless water beasts and river demons, and he also has to protect Du Bingyan, so he has no confidence.

Perhaps, if the Yin Water Dragon is deduced and upgraded to a great demon, it could fight against the Tongxuan Old Monster in the river?
But it was too late.

The black speedboat was extremely fast; in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, it destroyed three ships. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before it caught up.

Moreover, after witnessing what happened behind them, all the boats on the river increased their speed without prior arrangement.

As a result, the merchant ship carrying Liu Sheng and his companion gradually fell behind.

After all, some of these large ships have high configurations and high speed limits. They previously used the most cost-effective economic speed. Once cost is no longer a concern, their speed will be much faster than that of cargo ships.

The couple was so poor that they could only afford tickets for a cargo ship, but now it has become a disaster.

"Fortunately, we're almost at Dragon's Throat Gorge. The currents are rapid and there are many hidden reefs in the gorge, so most ships will slow down to avoid being destroyed and losing their lives..."

Liu Sheng glanced into the distance and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

According to Du Bingyan, once they pass Longhou Gorge, the river will become very wide, reaching a width of nearly 100 li at its widest point, and they will be less than a day away from Lianjiang Town.

Once past Lianjiang Town, one enters the territory of Bohai Commandery.

"Therefore, we need to find a way to deal with the most dangerous section of water, from Longhou Gorge to Lianjiang Town. We can't just sit here and wait to die."

He pursed his lips, no longer looking at the situation behind him, and pulled Du Bingyan back to the cabin to discuss countermeasures.

After a while.

The mighty river surges into the narrow Dragon's Throat Gorge.

Here the waterway suddenly narrows, the river flows swiftly, and the two banks are sheer cliffs, lush and verdant, with the sounds of monkeys and geese rising and falling in an endless stream.

The boat travels along like a roller coaster, bobbing up and down, with only the roar of water in your ears.

"It's safe for now."

Liu Sheng glanced out the window, then closed his eyes.

In another two or three hours, we will return to passing through Dragon's Throat Gorge. This amount of time is simply not enough to deduce the ascension and transformation.

Moreover, it requires distraction to prevent unexpected situations.

The two discussed it for a while, but couldn't come up with a solution at all, and were at a loss.

We can only react to whatever comes our way and take it one step at a time.

If all else fails, summon the Yin Water Dragon incarnation, swim across the water to the shore, then use the Earth Rat incarnation to burrow underground and head to Bohai County.

With over 100,000 spiritual energy points in hand, it's enough to revive the Yin Water Dragon's incarnation more than ten times. It should be able to hold out until he comes ashore from underwater... right?

However, this would mean that the avatars placed in other places would not be able to be maintained, and the previous arrangements, such as the Crimson Scale Guard and Crouching Tiger Village, would probably all be in vain.

It was all for nothing!

However, since we were at a critical juncture, we had to search to the limit and couldn't worry about anything else.

That would be enough if we could save Grandma, Yu Niang, and Old He's lives.

"Liu Lang, if things don't work out, don't worry about me, just run away alone."

Du Bingyan was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, her expression extremely serious:

"With your potential, you might reach the Transcendent Realm in no time. Then you can avenge me."

This woman, nicknamed "Bloody Hand Guanyin," was calm and decisive, unlike the timid and clingy type. After calmly analyzing the situation, she made a decision.

Her tone was light, but her words betrayed a growing desire to die.

Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng was startled and quickly said:
"It's not that bad, it hasn't gotten to that point yet. I have a way..." "A way?"

……

"boom!"

The river water crashes against the rocks, white foam flies everywhere, and raindrops fall.

In the distance, the sky and water merge into one, a vast expanse of misty waves, the river wide and its flow boundless, its shores unseen.

After several hours of bumpy travel and several close calls, we finally passed through Longhou Gorge and entered the Lianjiang Town area.

"Catching up again."

When Liu Sheng arrived at the stern, he saw the pitch-black speedboat, like a ghost, chasing after him and clinging to a tall, multi-story ship.

At this moment, the number of ships behind the cargo ship beneath him had dwindled to four.

It's unclear whether it sank after hitting a reef in Dragon's Throat Gorge or was sunk by that black speedboat.

But in any case, they don't have much time left.

Just then, a series of shouts of battle could be faintly heard through the waves.

"Ok?"

Liu Sheng stamped his foot, activating his innate "Spider Form" ability, and immediately caught the faint sound of battle cries—

A fierce battle seems to be taking place in the waters ahead!
A major battle?

This is the waterway where Lianjiang Town is located!
Nalianjiang Town is said to be a newly built fortified waterway on the Dalong River, separating the two prefectures.

The garrison is guarded by Chunyu Donglong, a veteran general who has accumulated many years of experience and whose cultivation has reached the Yellow Court Perfection stage.

The flagship, the Donglong, is said to have been forged from the remains of a blue dragon, making it indestructible and incredibly fast, virtually unmatched on the Dalong River.

Even the river monsters and aquatic beasts in the river are treated with great awe; otherwise, how could this military town spanning the river have been built?

When Liu Sheng and Du Bingyan discussed it before, they determined that Lianjiang Town was the last hurdle.

If the powerful clans and major sects of Yanzhou fail to find them, they will surely make heavy preparations in Lianjiang Town.

Only after they pass through Lianjiang Town will they be truly safe.

But now it seems that the situation has changed?

Who is so bold as to dare to fight against Chunyu Donglong's elite navy on the Dalong River?

River pirates, river bandits?
But regardless, this is an opportunity!
The mysterious old monster was hot on their heels, and chaos reigned on the battlefield ahead...

To escape, one must take advantage of the chaos and make things even more complicated.

Charge into the battlefield and, with the help of the large number of ships on both sides, shake off Old Deng who was chasing from behind!

After all, the configuration and personnel of naval warships were far superior to the passenger ships, cargo ships, and sand ships of the past.

Soon, under the control of "Tiansi", the Yunkun Trading Company's "Tianhe" ship abandoned its cargo and moved forward at full speed.

Before long, the "Tianhe" overtook five or six large ships in succession, which also attracted the attention of the Su family patriarch.

So the black speedboat abandoned the other ships and sped off to chase after the "Tianhe".

"Is Old Deng crazy? Why doesn't he have so many ships to deal with, and instead comes after me?"

Liu Sheng cursed and swore, but there was nothing he could do but desperately exploit the crew members under his control.

Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up again!
Once we get to the battlefield, we can just disappear into some corner, abandon ship, and swim across. I don't believe that old Deng can catch up with us!
Unless, of course, he can sweep across the entire battlefield.

After a short while, the "Tianhe" was the first to arrive at the battleground.

On the river, where the banks were nowhere in sight, hundreds of warships of all sizes were engaged in a chaotic battle, with gongs and drums beating and shouts of battle deafening the heavens.

On one side was the Lianjiang naval force of the imperial court, while on the other side's ships, the blue dragon flag bearing the character "Du" was prominently displayed.

Bohai, the Du family!
