Just as Ye Chen was lost in his thoughts, the elder looked at him and said, "If there is nothing else, can we go to the Nine Bends and Eighteen Bends to look for the lost ship? My granddaughter is still on the ship, it has been half a month. Although there is enough food on the ship, accidents are inevitable."
Qu Ming stood up and said, "Don't worry grandpa, leave it to me. I will definitely bring Xin Ying back."
"Since there are people on the ship, let's go now!" Ye Chen also stood up.
The elder nodded and said, "I will go with you, the ironwood ship is ready."
On the northwest coast of Pan Shan Island.
A fifteen meters long and three meters wide black wooden ship was docked there, its surface was glowing with a faint metallic luster.
Ye Chen knew that this was the ironwood ship. It was made of ironwood, which was comparable to metal. Needless to say, it was hard enough to withstand a full blow from a Mortal Realm warrior. It was also very flexible, able to move quickly in big waves without worrying about the hull breaking.
"Master!"
Twelve Mortal Realm Stage Nine warriors of the Qu family stood in a row and said in unison.
The elder waved his hand and said, "You all know Qu Ming. This is the inner disciple of the Sky Cloud Martial School, Ye Chen. He will go with us to the Nine Bends and Eighteen Bends to rescue Xin Ying."
After saying that, he turned to Ye Chen and Qu Ming and said, "They are not as strong as you two, but they are good swimmers, they can hold their breath underwater for fifteen minutes."
Ye Chen was a little surprised. With his current cultivation, holding his breath underwater for fifteen minutes was not difficult, but these twelve people were only at Mortal Realm Stage Nine.
…
The closer they got to the Nine Bends and Eighteen Bends, the faster the current became. Waves after waves of water hit the side of the ironwood ship, making loud banging sounds.
Inside the cabin.
The old man said, "The Nine Bends and Eighteen Bends are very complicated, with countless whirlpools. Without exquisite rowing skills, it is impossible to pass through. If there are no accidents, this old man's granddaughter should be trapped in the first half of the Nine Bends and Eighteen Bends. There is a small mountain there, and the mountain and the lake have formed a flat beach for the boat to dock. What you need to do is very simple, kill any Demonic Beasts that come close to prevent the boat from being pushed off course."
Ye Chen said, "That's very simple. I can use my lightness skill to fly over, and I'll be able to find the lost ship and your granddaughter very quickly."
The old man shook his head. "The truly terrifying part of the Nine Bends and Eighteen Bends is not the flow of water or the demon beasts, but the thick fog. If one were to enter it alone, it would be very easy to get lost and not be able to come out for a lifetime. Only by following the changes in the flow of water would one be able to find a way out."
"I see!" Ye Chen nodded thoughtfully. Pan Shan Island and Ancient Water Lake could not be treated with common sense. It was too strange.
Creak!
Suddenly, the ironwood ship shook violently, as if it had been brushed by something.
Deng deng deng, a martial artist of the Qu Clan rushed in. "Clan Head, three demon birds are approaching."
The old man nodded. "Leave it to the two of them."
Ye Chen and Qu Ming looked at each other and walked out of the cabin together.
On the deck, Ye Chen looked up and saw three huge strange birds flying in the air. The strange birds had a wingspan of five meters, and the upper half of their wings had a pair of sharp claws. At this time, they had not yet approached the ironwood ship, but the wind caused by the flapping of their wings had caused the ironwood ship to shake.
"Star Finger, Seven Stars of the Big Dipper!"
Qu Ming raised the index and middle fingers of his right hand, and at the end of his fingertips, a glazed brilliance appeared. He pointed seven times in the air, and drew the pattern of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper.
Puchi, puchi, puchi …
Without any suspense, the three demon birds were shrouded by the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper. Several bloody holes appeared on their bodies, and they fell into the lake.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Good finger technique!"
"Insignificant skill." Qu Ming withdrew his hand.
At this moment, a Qu Family martial artist shouted, "We have arrived at the Nine Bends and Eighteen Bends. Everyone hold onto the fixed objects, so as not to be thrown out of the deck."
The voice fell, and in the blink of an eye, the hull of the ship suddenly swayed, and there was a tendency to capsize. The other Qu Family martial artists were already prepared, and firmly held onto the things that they could hold onto. Only Ye Chen and Qu Ming were indifferent. Their feet firmly stepped on the deck, and no matter how fiercely the ship shook, it was difficult to shake their bodies.
Qu Ming's body was very flexible, and his balance was also very good. He seemed to be motionless, but in fact, his body was secretly making subtle changes in the direction of the hull, and he could always take advantage of the situation.
But when he looked at Ye Chen, his eyes could not help but narrow.
Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back, and his feet seemed to be rooted to the ground, swaying with the hull of the ship. It was as if he was a part of the hull, and there was no possibility of him being thrown out.
"What a brilliant Qing Gong." Qu Ming's eyesight was very powerful, and he immediately saw that Ye Chen's attainments in Qing Gong were very high, and his use of Zhen Qi was far beyond that of ordinary martial artists.
Ye Chen faintly smiled, and was about to speak, when he suddenly frowned and said, "There is a demon beast sneaking over from under the water."
His figure jumped, and Ye Chen's body fell on the side of the ship's railing, and his fist with a shining blue light blasted down.
Roar!
The tiger's roar shook the sky, and the blue Qi dragon swooped down, drilling into the bottom of the water.
The next moment!
The huge corpse of the demon beast floated up, and there was a bathtub sized hole in its chest and abdomen, and blood was gurgling out.
Qu Ming looked at the corpse of the demon beast, and was surprised, "The water shadow beast is good at hiding its Demon Qi, and is proficient in stealth. How did you detect it?" If it wasn't for Ye Chen's discovery, Qu Ming believed that it was impossible to kill the water shadow beast in advance. Only when the opponent launched an attack and exposed its Demon Qi, would he be able to detect it. At that time, even if the ironwood ship was undamaged, it would definitely deviate from the course, and it would take a lot of effort to return to the normal route, which would undoubtedly waste a lot of time.
Ye Chen naturally wouldn't say that his soul power was strong, and that he could freely explore anything around him, so he casually made up a reason and said, "Although the water shadow beast is proficient in stealth, and its Demon Qi is restrained, but with its huge body, it is difficult to sneak over without a sound, and it will inevitably change the water flow."
Qu Ming secretly nodded. What Ye Chen said was right. The bigger the body, the greater the resistance in the water. But Ye Chen's perception was too strong, and he could even see the subtle changes in the water flow, which was really admirable.
As they gradually went deeper into the nine twists and eighteen turns, the frequency of the hull shaking became faster and faster. Sometimes it was clearly swaying to the left, but suddenly it jumped up, and sometimes it was clearly stable without any waves, but the whirlpool under the water made it difficult for the hull to move. From fast speed to a sudden stop, it could almost make an ordinary person's heart jump out.
Finally, the ironwood ship arrived in front of the half-submerged mountain.
On the beach, a large ship was docked there, and it seemed to be faintly discernible in the thick fog, and there was a dead silence.
The ship had not yet approached, but Qu Ming and Ye Chen's feet touched the deck, and like two big birds, they flew over at an incredible speed.
Pa pa!
The two stood on the deck of the lost ship, and felt that the atmosphere had changed.
"Xin Ying! Are you there? "Qu Ming called out.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Except for the lake wind, there was no other sound.
The two were afraid of missing something, so they pushed open the cabin door and went in.
After a moment, the two came out again.
Ye Chen looked up at the mountain, and said to Qu Ming, "Maybe they went to the mountain to take refuge."
Qu Ming nodded, "That's the only possibility. Let's wait for Big Grandpa first."
