Chapter 105 Zhong Hanshang is trapped
Gao Huohuo thought to himself, "No way! The crucial power it needs is actually hidden at the bottom of this river."
But she started to worry again. With her current strength, what are the chances of success if she goes alone to explore the underground water?
I'm afraid it's not optimistic.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Gao Huohuo's beautiful eyes, and she waved her white hand.
A stream of spiritual power accompanied by the sound of whistling wind rushed towards the person who had just attacked her like an angry dragon emerging from the sea.
"Hmph, since you were the first to launch a sneak attack, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Gao Huohuo gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and thought to himself that since he was not sure of winning alone, he would drag this troublemaker into the water with him.
If there is any fatal danger, he can be there to block it.
After Zhong Hanshang saw a man fall into the water in a miserable state, the turbulent river surface miraculously calmed down.
He just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around and return to the shore.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened and an inexplicable and powerful force suddenly wrapped around his body.
Then he realized with horror that his body was completely out of control, as if it was grasped by an invisible giant hand, and was falling rapidly towards the bottom of the river.
Soon Zhong Hanshang was underwater and saw that the person he had knocked into the river was actually a female cultivator.
It seems that he is not the evil cultivator that the saint mentioned, because that evil cultivator is just a man who is lustful because of his beauty.
He saw the other person's eyes changing rapidly as he looked at him. At first, there was a sense of pride in his eyes.
He was secretly proud of his unexpected sneak attack, and the slightly raised corners of his mouth were full of arrogance.
But in the blink of an eye, the pride disappeared like smoke swept away by the wind, and was replaced by full surprise.
However, this surprise was only short-lived. In the blink of an eye, it completely turned into deep speechlessness.
His eyes were filled with disgust and helplessness, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he was full of regret, and as if he was silently denouncing the absurdity of all this.
Humph, isn't he known as a righteous genius? Don't you usually preach the virtues of character and upright conduct?
Why are you now doing such despicable things as sneak attacks from behind?
These so-called upright monks talk about upholding justice all day long, as if they are the benchmarks of morality in the world, but what is the reality?
When it comes to the critical moment, he still does some shameful and dirty things. His words and deeds are inconsistent, which is really disgusting!
It's really a waste of the false reputation of being righteous!
"My fellow Daoist, I'm sorry for offending you just now. I thought you were that evil cultivator, so I threw you into the water. I'm truly sorry!"
When Gao Huohuo heard Zhong Hanshang's message, he ignored it completely.
If she hadn't been so strong that she pulled him down, would she have been able to get his apology?
The further down you go, the more complex the terrain at the river bottom becomes, covered with crisscrossing, bottomless gullies, like a maze.
Gao Huohuo swam very fast because she felt the spiritual sword above her head vibrating more and more violently.
She was worried that if this continued, her head would be shaken so hard that she would get a concussion.
But the next moment, she found that she could not swim anymore, no matter how hard she tried.
Suddenly, she thought of Zhong Hanshang, who was fixed around her with the Seven-Step Lock.
When Gao Huohuo turned back, he saw Zhong Hanshang's miserable appearance at a glance - he was stuck in a narrow gap at the bottom of the river.
His limbs struggled wildly, but he couldn't move at all, just like a trapped beast in a cage.
The deep ravine was like an invisible giant hand, exerting terrifying pressure and ruthlessly squeezing his body.
The spiritual power that was originally flowing smoothly now became slow and stagnant, like a carriage stuck in a quagmire, making it difficult to move forward.
With every futile struggle, he sank deeper into the trap, and his hope of escaping grew slimmer.
It seems that the bottom of this river is not simple. Once trapped, even Zhong Hanshang, who is in the Nascent Soul stage, cannot escape.
Seeing this, Gao Huohuo swam over hurriedly and waved at Zhong Hanshang, signaling him not to move anymore to avoid worsening the situation.
Then she took a deep breath and swung her arms.
A fist as big as a casserole, accompanied by a whistling sound, smashed down on the stone that was stuck on Zhong Hanshang like raindrops.
The dull sound of "bang bang bang" echoed underwater, splashing up clouds of turbid mud and sand.
After a while, several pieces of gravel loosened and fell off under her fierce attack, but Zhong Hanshang was still a long way from escaping completely.
Gao Huohuo's expression remained resolute, revealing no clues, but in his heart he had already started to complain crazily:
"I regret it so much that my intestines are turning green. I should not have brought this guy down here!
I originally wanted to find someone to take the blame for me so that I could help out at a critical moment.
But in the end, it didn't work at all, and now I have to go to all this trouble to save him. It's such a huge loss!"
He glanced at Zhong Hanshang who was trapped beside him, and wondered to himself, if this guy wasn't awake and conscious at this moment.
She really wanted to cast a few powerful explosive talismans to blow the troublesome stone into pieces with a "boom" and then easily drag him out.
But now, in front of him, he could only punch the stone one after another.
Fortunately, I have been exercising regularly, so my strong body like steel and iron comes in handy now. Every punch I throw can shake off some stone chips.
"But we can't let him see the flaw." Gao Huohuo was alert.
"I have to make him feel like I went to great lengths to rescue him. Then, if there's danger again, he'll be the one to rush forward and be cannon fodder."
Thinking of this, she quietly communicated with Xiao Lingzi:
"Xiao Lingzi, quickly create an illusion of a wound on my hand that gets worse and worse.
I don't expect him to marry me or anything like that, as long as I can make him feel guilty and willing to go through fire and water for me in the future, that's all that matters."
As Gao Huohuo continued to smash, the stones that were stuck on Zhong Hanshang's body loosened and rolled down one by one.
Finally, Zhong Hanshang felt his body lighten and his hands were free again.
He was extremely anxious and without saying a word, he quickly took out a lustrous pill from his storage ring and anxiously gestured to Gao Huohuo to take it quickly.
After all, in his eyes at this moment, Gao Huohuo's hands were already a bloody mess.
The hideous wounds were so deep that the bones were visible, and the eerie white bones were exposed. The tragic scene was simply unbearable to look at.
However, Gao Huohuo acted as if nothing had happened, his face was calm as water, and he didn't even lift his eyelids.
His hands kept moving, and he continued to punch the remaining stones steadily, as if the serious injuries on his hands did not exist at all.
Zhong Hanshang stared at the scene in front of him, feeling as if his heart was suddenly tightened by an invisible hand, and guilt and self-blame completely drowned him like a surging tide.
He never imagined that his previous reckless sneak attack would drag her into this dangerous predicament at the bottom of the river.
At such a critical moment, it would be difficult for anyone else not to add insult to injury, but she resolutely turned back and tried her best to rescue without complaint.
This broad mind of repaying evil with kindness and this chivalrous heart of never abandoning in times of crisis deeply shocked Zhong Hanshang.
Although the female monk spoke very little along the way and seemed a little cold.
But now this practical action undoubtedly shows her kindness and integrity in her bones.
Zhong Hanshang clenched his fists and swore secretly that as long as he could return to the shore safely this time.
He would definitely try every possible means to find the sect she belonged to and personally visit her to express his gratitude.
Only after smashing all the stones did Gao Huohuo take the pill given by Zhong Hanshang. In fact, he took the opportunity to put it into his storage ring.
Anyway, the injury on her hand has been transferred away, so it’s better not to waste this pill.
After Zhong Hanshang came out completely, Gao Huohuo didn't dare to let him go alone, so he grabbed his sleeve and pulled him down.
