This time round, Su Zimo was no longer fleeing aimlessly.
There was only one place to avoid the blood-eyed crows' surveillance.
Jishui River!
After all, the blood-eyed crows were only Foundation Establishment spirit demons and had yet to form their Inner Cores. They could not convert their external breathing into internal breathing and naturally could not enter Jishui River.
However, Su Zimo was different.
He cultivated both immortality and demonic. Although he did not have an Inner Core, he could use spirit energy to form a light barrier around his body to isolate the river water.
The map showed that Jishui River ran through the entire territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
No one knew where Jishui River flowed to or where its source was and it was not shown on the map either.
However, that was not important. What Su Zimo had to do was to enter Jishui River and follow the flow. That way, he would be able to avoid the blood-eyed crows' tracking.
He sprinted the entire way, chasing after the stars and moon. By the next morning, he finally arrived at the banks of Jishui River.
The moment he arrived, Su Zimo's face was pale and his consciousness was fading.
If not for the fact that Su Zimo had consumed the demon beast's Inner Core beforehand and executed Blood Escape twice in a row, he would have been a dead man by now.
No matter how strong his physique was, he would not be able to withstand burning two-thirds of his essence blood!
This time round, his body was almost completely drained.
Su Zimo staggered and lost his balance. Unable to control his body, he fell forward and fell into the river.
"Gurgle, gurgle!"
A series of bubbles appeared on the surface of the river.
Su Zimo was stirred by the river water and shook his head. Struggling to stand up, he regained some of his consciousness.
Night Spirit burrowed out of Su Zimo's embrace and floated in the river for a while.
By the looks of it, Night Spirit was rather good in the water as well!
Gritting his teeth, Su Zimo hugged Night Spirit and forcefully conjured a spirit energy barrier. With a leap, he disappeared into Jishui River.
The river water was cold.
For someone who had burned more than half of his bloodline, that coldness had already turned into a bone-chilling chill!
Su Zimo's body was trembling. His eyes were wide open as he held onto Night Spirit and continued to dive.
Su Zimo forcefully raised his spirit and did not dare to be careless. He held the supreme-grade flying sword in his left hand and constantly patrolled the surroundings.
The Jishui River was not a good place.
The degree of danger here was definitely not any less than that of the Great Desolate Jungle!
There were also many powerful demonic beasts living in the Jishui River.
If he was the slightest bit careless, he could very well be buried here!
Su Zimo did not dare to dive too deep.
Normally, the deeper the river, the stronger the demonic beasts that appeared.
Right now, Su Zimo was surrounded by mostly Qi Condensation spiritual beasts that had just begun to cultivate. There were so many different types of aquatic demons that it was a dazzling sight.
These spirit beasts only glanced at him from afar. None of them dared to approach him.
Suddenly!
These Spirit Beasts seemed to have been frightened by something as they scattered and fled at an extremely fast speed!
At the same time, Su Zimo was alarmed.
Diagonally, the river water surged and a huge water column came against the current. It was murderous and mighty!
A spirit demon!
A Foundation Establishment spirit demon had appeared!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Su Zimo endured the piercing pain in his dantian and injected spirit energy forcefully.
The sword trembled continuously.
Su Zimo activated the supreme-grade flying sword right away, wanting to have a bloody battle with the spirit demon. However, his heart skipped a beat and he put away the flying sword.
Whoosh!
The spirit beast separated from the water and Su Zimo saw it clearly this time round.
Green Armored Crocodile!
The Green Armored Crocodile was one of the more common demon beasts in the Jishui River. It was named the Green Armored Crocodile because of the horn that was wrapped around its body that was indestructible like armor.
The Green Armored Crocodile was extremely fast in the water and arrived before Su Zimo in almost the blink of an eye.
At that moment, Su Zimo felt as though he was not facing an aquatic demon beast, but a mountain.
Swoosh!
When the Green Armored Crocodile arrived before Su Zimo, it opened its gigantic mouth without hesitation and swallowed Su Zimo with ease along with the river water.
Standing in the mouth of the Green Armored Crocodile, Su Zimo looked incomparably tiny but extremely calm.
Seeing that the jaws of the Green Armored Crocodile were about to close, Su Zimo took out his supreme-grade flying sword once more and activated the four spirit patterns on it. He said coldly, "You'd better not move!"
At that moment, Night Spirit extended its claws and landed gently on the Green Armored Crocodile's tongue.
It did not use much strength but the Green Armored Crocodile's tongue was already bleeding.
"Now, listen to me!"
Standing in the mouth of the Green Armored Crocodile, Su Zimo said slowly, "Right now, follow the Jishui River and head downstream. I'll borrow your stomach for the time being.
"I'll naturally leave once my injuries are healed. Furthermore, I promise you that I won't harm your life! "
The Green Armored Crocodile had already cultivated to the level of a spirit demon and had long gained sentience.
Su Zimo believed that the Green Armored Crocodile would definitely be able to understand his words.
Indeed, after a slight hesitation, the Green Armored Crocodile nodded.
That was a good choice.
It could either trust Su Zimo.
Or it could die right now!
Hugging Night Spirit, Su Zimo slid down the Green Armored Crocodile's throat all the way to its stomach.
At the same time, Su Zimo crushed the defensive talisman that Leng Rou gave him.
A barrier of light surrounded Su Zimo.
Although there was a slight stench in the stomach of the Green Armored Crocodile, it was a perfect hiding place where no one would disturb him and he could calm down and recuperate!
If Su Zimo was the one carrying Night Spirit through the Jishui River, Su Zimo would not have time to recuperate at all.
This arrangement could be considered as killing two birds with one stone.
Su Zimo intended to stay in the stomach of the Green Armored Crocodile for the time being. He would leave this place and return to the shore after his and Night Spirit's injuries were healed.
The Green Armored Crocodile wagged its tail and swam down the river, vanishing from the spot.
…
Three days later.
A large number of blood-eyed crows circled the skies above the Jishui River, covering the skies in a dense pack.
Peng Yue and the other cultivators who participated in the battle of Dongling Valley stood on the shore, looking at the gushing river in silence with terrible expressions.
Before they set off, there were 10 Perfected Jin Dan.
But now, there were only six left.
Peng Yue's face was yellow and he seemed to be seriously injured. He had rushed here before he could recuperate.
The number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators was also reduced by half.
"Caw … caw!"
Before long, an ear-piercing cry sounded from the distant horizon.
The blood-eyed crows paused for a moment before splitting into two sides in the skies, as though they were welcoming some powerful existence!
Not long after, a huge, pitch-black Blood Crow King galloped over.
On its back was a middle-aged man in blood-colored robes. His hands were behind his back, his face was thin and his gaze was dark.
"Greetings, Palace Lord!"
Everyone from Blood Crow Palace knelt on the ground hurriedly and lowered their heads. Trembling, they did not dare to meet the Palace Lord's gaze.
Gritting his teeth, Peng Yue mustered his courage and said, "Palace Lord, I …"
Peng Yue recounted everything that happened in Dongling Valley in detail.
However, in reality, no one saw how Yu Fei died.
That was also the greatest mystery of the entire incident!
If Yu Fei did not die, the Blood Crow Young Lord would not have died with the protection of the Jin Dan realm spirit demon.
