Chapter 284: A narrow escape
There are only three chains on the Blackwater River.
Rest is over.
Shen Ping and the other seven monks started arguing again about who should go first. Once one stepped onto the iron chain first, he could not get down and could only cross the river headfirst, while those behind him could choose to stay on the shore, so no one wanted to step onto the iron chain first.
If someone cheats and follows behind, the danger of stepping on the chain in the first place will increase greatly.
Anyway, Shen Ping will definitely not go up first.
They quarreled for half a day.
Finally, the three from the demon clan, spirit clan, and monster clan came first, Shen Ping was the second wave, and the last one was the feather clan.
After agreement.
The crowd began to cross the river.
Whoosh.
Step onto the chains.
The whistling cold wind blows Buddha.
Even though they were Nascent Soul cultivators, the three cultivators from the demon clan, the spirit clan, and the devil clan all felt cold all over. The cold wind scraped their bodies like a knife. They were chained and unable to use their magic power or any other means. They could only rely on their physical strength to stagger forward.
soon.
Shen Ping also stepped onto the iron chain.
As soon as his steps touched, he felt a strong restraining force. The power of the strange beast in his dantian and the ordinary golden elixir magic power were unable to move. However, his physique was extremely strong, and his perfect Vajra body made his steps very steady.
Just looking at the solemn applications of the other monks, he couldn't help but look towards the black river water, and saw black fish gradually emerging from the river surface, which were obviously one of the dangers of crossing the river. Although he didn't know how terrible the attacks of the fish were, he could easily fall because of them when he couldn't use any magic.
Not long.
The last Feather Clan monk also stepped onto the iron chain.
The demon clan and other cultivators all breathed a sigh of relief. Now they were all on the chains and no one could attack them from behind.
The chain is very thick.
There is no shaking when walking on it.
However, the process was going smoothly at the beginning, but when it reached the middle, the chain suddenly began to swing slightly, and the amplitude of the swing became larger and larger. The whistling of cold wind in the ears of all the monks, including Shen Ping, became increasingly sharp.
Even the demon cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage couldn't help but feel extremely nervous at this moment.
After all, this is the Blackwater River.
They are just like ordinary mortals, except that they are physically stronger.
And if there is even the slightest mistake, hundreds or thousands of years of practice will be completely ruined.
No one is not afraid of death.
Even the previously arrogant demon cultivators showed a hint of fear in their eyes, and their pace slowed down, moving forward like a snail.
But no one laughed.
Because everyone is like this.
Whoosh.
The cold wind was like a knife, mixed with the crisp metallic sound produced by the swinging iron chains.
With every step forward, the tension in everyone's hearts increased.
Crash.
The chain suddenly shook violently.
Shen Ping and others were startled and stopped in a hurry. They locked the chains tightly and their bodies swayed violently along with the chains.
whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Just at this moment.
The fish on the surface of the Black Water River jumped out of the water like arrows, and almost instantly jumped to the iron chain, opening their fang-filled mouths to bite Shen Ping and others.
Although it is impossible to use magical powers and other means.
But after all, they were all geniuses from various races, and their physiques were extraordinary. Seeing this situation, they took out the sharp magic weapons they had prepared long ago and used them as weapons to slash at these black fish.
Puff, puff, puff.
Although the black fish were fast, their defense was not strong and they were quickly killed by monks like Shen Ping. However, the blood they splashed was extremely corrosive and could even corrode their robes. However, the robes worn by monks like Shen Ping were basically at the level of ancient spiritual treasures, so it was difficult for them to penetrate deeper if they only corroded the surface.
Shoot down a wave of attacks.
There was no movement on the surface of the Black Water River, and the iron chain gradually returned to its bottleneck.
The cultivators from the demon clan, the devil clan, the feather clan, the spirit clan, etc. all breathed a sigh of relief.
They continued to move forward.
The pace also quickened.
moment.
The shore is just around the corner.
The demon cultivator walking in front was only two feet away from the shore. But just when he was looking happy and thought that he could cross the river safely, his foot suddenly stepped on empty air and he fell directly to the ground.
"No……!"
Suddenly, sounds of fear rang out all around.
When monks like Shen Ping saw this scene, their faces turned pale and they dared not take another step forward. At the same time, their eyes were fixed on the demon monk who was falling. As soon as he fell into the river, dense black fish emerged from under the surface of the river and tore him to pieces in just half a breath.
that's all.
A Nascent Soul cultivator from the demon clan who was considered invincible among his peers outside died in this Ascension Palace, and his death was very miserable. All his powerful means and magical powers were not used.
When passing through a metal channel.
Five of them died.
But no one saw it. At this moment, they witnessed with their own eyes the death of a cultivator with the same strength and cultivation as themselves and who also had the power of a strange beast. The shock brought about was different.
“This is the Ascension Palace!”
"No matter how talented, evil, or resourceful you are, it's useless if you have bad luck!"
The Eldar girl whispered.
The other monks trembled slightly, and their fear grew stronger.
"How on earth did he die?!"
The Feather Clan monk couldn't help but ask.
The Eldar girl frowned, "We must have stepped into empty space... Although we know that the Blackwater River is dangerous, we don't know exactly how dangerous it is. I'm afraid the iron chain will interfere with our perception and vision. Everyone, be careful!"
Speaking of.
She took out something that looked like a puppet, placed it on the chain, and then controlled it with her hands to move it in front of her.
The other monks did not move.
But just watch quietly.
One step, two steps.
Walked five or six steps.
The puppet thing had already been controlled by the spirit girl to the shore. Seeing this, the spirit girl couldn't help but quicken her pace, but when she took the second step, she felt her feet were empty and she fell directly like the cultivator from the demon clan.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
With the sound of water.
Another talented monk fell.
Such a situation.
This made the other monks, including Shen Ping, feel deeply frightened.
Even the puppet that had been checked to confirm safety was useless.
whoosh.
It seemed that the fresh blood and meat stimulated the black fish in the river.
They leapt out again.
Puff!
With the previous experience, monks like Shen Ping were able to deal with it more easily, but none of them felt relieved after shooting down these black fish. Instead, they looked at the shore right in front of them and dared not move forward another step.
Time passes quietly.
Half a day later.
The third wave of black fish attacked again.
This time, monks like Shen Ping discovered that the number of black fish had increased. Even though they relied on their strong physique and sharp magic weapons to shoot them down safely, it was obviously not feasible for them to stay there for a long time.
But no one dared to move.
The deaths of the two geniuses from the demon and spirit tribes were still fresh in their minds, and they didn’t want to end up like this themselves.
You know, they are the chosen ones of heaven.
In the blink of an eye, another half day passed.
Still no one took a step forward.
Shen Ping was following the spirit girl. He hesitated for a long time and finally took the lead to move forward, but he would tell fortunes every step he took.
Different from other treasures that can measure danger.
Even if a fortune teller has no magical powers, he can still determine good and bad fortune, but the accuracy is related to his own level. Shen Ping's level as a fortune teller has long been raised to the fourth level through his day and night relationship with Jing Huilan.
Therefore, it is also very accurate in determining ordinary good and bad fortune.
lucky.
lucky.
lucky.
Until there were two steps left to the shore.
The hexagram shows an ominous sign.
Shen Ping stopped immediately.
The four cultivators from the Demon Clan, Feather Clan and others were all staring at Shen Ping.
After half a cup of tea.
Shen Ping told fortunes again.
Still fierce.
He took a deep breath and continued to wait. Although the Blackwater River was dangerous, it was definitely not a situation where death was inevitable. Otherwise, what was the point of going to such great lengths to reach the Heavenly Palace?
Puff puff puff~ Another round of black fish is coming.
After being shot down.
Shen Ping continued to tell fortunes.
fierce.
After three consecutive rounds of black fish attacks.
He divined again, and this time the hexagram changed... auspicious.
Shen Ping didn't know what would happen if he took this step, but he believed in his ability as a fortune teller, so he took the step without hesitation.
Wow.
The soles of my feet were in firm contact with the iron chain.
He breathed a sigh of relief and continued to tell fortunes.
lucky.
Take another step.
Divination.
lucky.
After taking the third step, Shen Ping stood safely on the shore. His back was already covered in sweat, but his face showed the joy of surviving the disaster.
"This fellow Taoist from the human race really has good means!"
