Chapter 104 Falling into the River
Gao Huohuo looked at Su Ruoyun and sighed in his heart: This beauty is really a disaster! Even Su Ruoyun fell for Zhong Hanshang's beauty.
I just don’t know what kind of people Zhong Hanshang likes?
Looking at his appearance, he is devoted to the Tao, and I am afraid he will be accompanied by the Tao for the rest of his life!
When the time comes, I will try to persuade Su Ruoyun. If she is a good person, I can introduce her to some senior brothers.
The looks of her several senior brothers were not inferior to that of Zhong Hanshang, but they were a little overshadowed by the attire of her eighth senior brother.
Thinking of this, Gao Huohuo suddenly felt a mischievous feeling in his heart, and he thought that he must test Su Ruoyun.
Let's see if she is really as he guessed, and has already fallen in love with the rumored genius boy.
As soon as the thought came to her, she couldn't hold it back. She cleared her throat and asked casually:
"Friend Su, have you noticed the famous genius boy just now?
That person, the one who attracts everyone's attention, as if he has his own light."
"Are you talking about the person who raised his hand and sent a stream of spiritual energy towards us?"
Su Ruoyun raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression calm, and responded slowly and unhurriedly.
Gao Huohuo nodded his chin lightly, pretending to be casual, but in fact his eyes were as sharp as torches, tightly locking onto Su Ruoyun's face.
He did not miss any subtle changes in her expression, trying to catch even the slightest bit of strange emotion from it.
However, Su Ruoyun seemed to have noticed it long ago, and her keen perception seemed to have seen through Gao Huohuo's little thoughts.
She looked calm and composed, without a single ripple in her expression. Only the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, forming a perfect smile.
After a moment, she opened her red lips and said with a smile:
"Hey, he's just an ordinary upright monk, although his appearance is a little more handsome than others.
But in this world of cultivating immortals, how could there be a lack of good-looking people?
Don't make a fuss, I don't think there's anything special about him."
There was a light and calm tone in the conversation, without a trace of admiration or shyness.
It was as if the young man was just an insignificant passerby who passed by.
Hearing Su Ruoyun's nonchalant words, Gao Huohuo became even more certain that she was indeed moved.
After all, unintentional small movements can't deceive people.
"Where's Fellow Daoist Gao? What do you think of Zhong Hanshang?"
Hearing Su Ruoyun suddenly ask her, Gao Huohuo answered without thinking:
"Straight as a string, on the edge of death."
Su Ruoyun silently recited the next sentence in her heart.
"Curved like a hook, he will be crowned a marquis."
Unexpectedly, Gao Huohuo's evaluation of Zhong Hanshang was refreshing.
Anyone who has ever met Zhong Hanshang would either praise him as a young genius or say that he has a noble character, etc.
Few people evaluated him from another perspective. After all, the mere name of Qingyun Sect was enough to scare away many people.
Who among those who heard the three words Qingyun Sect would not flatter them, fearing to offend them?
This is why everyone has to join a large sect, while independent cultivators can be bullied at will.
"Fellow Daoist Su, where do the treasures in this Dongxue River usually appear from?"
Gao Huohuo asked the question out of the blue, bringing Su Ruoyun's wandering thoughts back to her senses.
"I heard that the location where the treasure appears varies every year, but it's generally near the banks of this dark river."
Su Ruoyun responded softly.
"As long as you don't go into the water."
Gao Huohuo responded hurriedly, feeling very reluctant about going into the water.
Based on her previous experiences, she knew that underwater monsters were often more ferocious and difficult to deal with than those on land.
Moreover, her system has a fatal shortcoming. It is completely ineffective against those unintelligent monsters.
If you really encounter it, the only option left is to fight hard and take this risky path.
Su Ruoyun looked at Gao Huohuo's expression and asked with a puzzled look on her face:
"Fellow Daoist Gao, are you afraid of going into the water?"
Gao Huohuo nodded slightly and said frankly, "I guess so."
Seeing this, Su Ruoyun raised her hand and patted her shoulder gently, just as a comfort, indicating that she should not worry.
Then he asked Gao Huohuo to wait for a while while he planned to go forward to explore the way.
Huo Huo thought to herself that Su Ruoyun must have come this time to check whether the treasure she had been longing for was still hidden in its original place.
In that case, she could just wait here with peace of mind.
But who would have thought that the next second, the water in the underground river would surge violently without any warning.
"Hmph, could it be that the monster in the river saw that I was alone and deliberately made such a commotion to scare me?"
Gao Huohuo was furious, "You're trying to scare me with just this little trick?
I was just afraid of the strength of the water monster, not really scared. How dare you show off your power to me!"
Gao Huohuo raised his eyebrows, swung the long whip in his hand, and lashed it straight towards the surging river surface.
As soon as the whip tip touched the water surface, a magical thing happened. The originally turbulent river water calmed down instantly.
"Oh, I guessed it right. He really was trying to scare me on purpose!"
Gao Huohuo was even more furious now. "Don't blame me for being rude!"
After saying that, she stretched out her body and flew straight into the air above the dark river.
The long whip in his hand was like a dragon emerging from the sea, lashing the river surface with crackling sounds.
The river, which had been quiet and peaceful just now, suddenly became turbulent again.
Under Gao Huohuo's whip, the surging waves rose and fell one after another, continuously, as if they were about to overturn the entire underground river.
At this moment, Zhong Hanshang, who was at the entrance of the underground river, was alone, staring blankly at the turbulent river surface, his face full of confusion and bewilderment.
He just had a thought in his mind, wanting to test whether there were other hidden spaces in the water.
Only then did he use his spiritual power slightly to stir up some water splashes.
Unexpectedly, due to a moment of carelessness, he failed to control his spiritual power, causing the surging water to become even more powerful.
After a lot of effort, he finally calmed the river level, but unexpectedly, the river water began to surge again.
"What on earth is going on? Is there really something strange hidden in this river?"
Zhong Hanshang muttered to himself, full of suspicion.
Thinking of this, Zhong Hanshang made up his mind and decided to go into the water to find out what was going on and what was causing the inexplicable surge in the river.
He quickly mobilized his spiritual power, wrapped himself tightly, and then leaped up and fell straight to the center of the river.
As soon as my feet stepped into the river, a chilling chill that seemed to penetrate my bones came over me.
It seems that this dark river never sees the sun all year round. Even with spiritual power protecting the body, the icy air is still extremely biting.
Fortunately, Zhong Hanshang had strong and abundant spiritual power. After he used his spiritual power to resist the cold, he keenly noticed that the river water in front was shaking violently.
Without hesitation, he swam towards the source of the shock.
After a while, it approached quietly.
Under Gao Huohuo's fierce whip, the area of water looked like a pot of boiling water.
Water splashed everywhere and huge waves surged, making Zhong Hanshang unstable in the water and unable to stand still.
He quickly held his breath and concentrated, quietly extending his spiritual sense like a fine spider silk, after some sensing.
Zhong Hanshang concluded that someone in front was deliberately stirring up trouble and causing such a commotion.
With a plan in mind, he swam slowly and silently like a nimble fish, following the rapid current.
When he reached the right distance, his eyes flashed, and he gathered his strength in his palms, and a stream of spiritual power shot out like a broken arrow.
Gao Huohuo was caught off guard by the sudden attack and was instantly caught off guard. He fell uncontrollably into the river.
And the moment her body touched the river water, Gao Huohuo subconsciously wanted to fly back into the air.
However, at this moment, the sword above her head suddenly vibrated rapidly, as if it was restrained by an unknown force, preventing her from escaping.
