Turbid waves rolled, silver scales chased after each other, and large groups of white water birds left dim shadows on the surface of the turbid water.
The surging river flowed between the hills. There was no one around, only a large group of white apes were playing in the woods beside the river, letting out shrill screams from time to time.
A straight stream of water swooshed up into the air, over a hundred zhang high. Ji Hao smashed the water stream with a single punch, then leapt out of the underground river, along with hot steam. While gasping for air, Ji Hao landed on the ground, slightly swayed his body and kneeled on the ground with one knee.
A few of the fiercest white apes roared out, carried their heavy wooden sticks and rushed towards Ji Hao.
Ji Hao snorted coldly and abruptly raised his head. His Gold Crow pupils shone with a bright light, while he threw a fierce glance at those fat white apes.
The few white apes howled out in pain, dropped their wooden sticks, turned around and fled, while yelling and yelling. In the woods, tens of thousands of different sized white apes hurriedly dropped the fruits and leaves held in their hands and fled like a boiling white river, disappearing without a trace within the blink of an eye.
Gasping for air, Ji Hao slowly stood up from the ground.
Ji Hao felt a piercing pain on his face. He conveniently wiped his face with his hand and pulled off a few fist-sized water crabs, whose shells were as hard as steel, and threw them into the river.
That underground river surged for over ten thousand miles, then surged up to the surface and merged with the river. Ji Hao and his teammates didn't encounter too many dangers in the underground river. Ji Hao and his teammates encountered quite a few nests of water snakes, a group of greedy carnivorous river fishes, and some strange kinds of underground aquatic creatures, but they managed to survive.
The only trouble was that Ji Hao had been holding his breath for over ten thousand miles, floating with the rapid water flow for four days and five nights. Ji Hao's eyeballs had even turned green. If it weren't for some rules set by the Magi Palace, which forbade Senior Magi from destroying the Midland's terrain with their power for no reason, Ji Hao would have smashed the thick layer of rock above his head and dashed out of the underground river long ago.
"Ah … Achoo!" Along with muffled swooshing noises, Man Man threw the pair of hammers out from the bottom of the river, which was miles deep, then rose to the surface of the water while sneezing. Man Man showed the whites of her eyes, spat out a few mouthfuls of water from her mouth, then struggled to reach the bank of the river with a doggy paddle, then fell head-first into the mud, unable to move anymore.
"Man Man, can you swim?" Ji Hao squatted down beside Man Man, held her in his arms, and fed her a few pills that could quickly replenish her life-force.
"Yes, of course!" Speaking of swimming, Man Man's spirit was immediately lifted. She waved her hands and said with a smile, "My big brother raised a lot of arowanas. When I was three years old, I went to the lake to catch arowanas and roasted them. That's how I learned to swim!"
Ji Hao silently mourned for Zhu Rong Tonggong's dragonfish for a while, after which, four human heads popped up from the water surface in a row.
Yu Mu and Feng Xing darted up to the bank of the river, while Shaosi dragged Taisi, who was still foaming at the mouth, to the bank of the river. Step by step, she dragged Taisi to the bank of the river, threw him on the ground, and threw a heavy kick on his ribs.
"Brother … sister!" Seeing Shaosi's brutal moves, Yu Mu couldn't help but quiver.
"If it were me, I would kick this guy to death … What a shame for us men!" As for Feng Xing, he was standing aside, trying to stir up trouble, and said, "He can't even compete with Man Man, he fainted after only half an hour. If Ji Hao didn't help him along the way …"
Yu Mu and Feng Xing quivered simultaneously, then looked at Ji Hao and said, "Ji Hao, how does it feel to touch a man's mouth?"
Ji Hao's face darkened. Taisi was a complete burden in the water. Every half an hour, Ji Hao, who had been breathing the longest, had to help him replenish his power, since he was the one who was breathing the longest. Fortunately, Ji Hao had been practicing the [Mantra Dan with Nine Secret Words], which allowed him to gain enough oxygen from the water. Otherwise, Taisi might have suffocated to death in the underground river already.
"Some rules of the Magi Palace are quite unreasonable." Ji Hao quickly changed the topic, "In fact, we could have broken the rock layer and rushed out three days ago. Because by then, we had already left the magic crystal mine area, and the rock layer wasn't so hard anymore. "
"That's not the rule of the Magi Palace, it's the rule of the human emperor." Yu Mu sighed and said, "The rule of the human emperor is reasonable. If everyone could change the landscape of the Midland as they want, the Midland would have been destroyed long ago."
Ji Hao snorted coldly, took out a few bottles of life-replenishing medicines and distributed them to the few people, then quickly took out a jade talisman and flicked it with his finger. Instantly, the jade talisman was set ablaze. A stream of cyan smoke rose straight into the sky. The jade talisman was set ablaze quickly and shrunk rapidly.
Ji Hao hurriedly told Ji Hao about what had happened to him and his teammates during the past few days to the cyan smoke, then flicked his finger again. The jade talisman transformed into a stream of cyan smoke and rose high into the sky. Followed by a loud cracking noise, the cyan smoke transformed into an arrow and darted across the sky, towards the Magi Palace.
This jade talisman was sent to Si Wen Ming. After that, Ji Hao took out a few more jade talismans and sent messages to Wulong Yao and the other few master Magi who were close to him.
Yu Mu looked at the cyan smoke rising into the sky, abruptly sighed and murmured, "Eh, I wonder if this mission will be considered a success or a failure for us. I wonder how much the Rong Mountain Clan will give us as compensation. "
After sending the message, Ji Hao was holding Taisi with his hand pressed on Taisi's back, absorbing the life-force released from the surrounding woods with a special magic to help Taisi recover his life-force. Hearing Yu Mu's murmur, Ji Hao was confused and asked, "What? Will there be more changes? We're right, aren't we? "
Feng Xing sat far away from Ji Hao, let out a long sigh and said, "Ji Hao, this is your first mission for the Magi Palace, right? Hmm, this kind of thing happened to me and that fatso before. Quite a few times, we were almost killed by the Magi Palace. But in the end, we only got a small amount of compensation. "
Ji Hao narrowed his eyes. He thought of Elder Iron Yan, who unhesitatingly took out a magic treasure and trapped them and those Rong Mountain Clan clansmen, who unhesitatingly backed out of the cave and sealed the entire cave with magic talismans.
Without a doubt, if they weren't much more powerful than Elder Iron Yan, those Rong Mountain Clan clansmen would have already killed them that day.
"This won't end so easily." said Ji Hao with a darkened face, "Do they want to kill us and keep the entire magic crystal mine all to themselves? I don't care about the magic crystal mine, but if they want to kill us, they have to pay for it. "
"That depends on who the Magi Palace sent." Said Yu Mu with a darkened face as well, "If it's Lord Si Wen Ming, we have nothing to worry about. We only need to take back what we should have. But if it's someone else … hehe, we're talking about the overall situation of the humankind! "
"The overall situation of the humankind?" Ji Hao felt a bit annoyed.
