"Little Gray!"
Looking at Little Gray who swiftly swam to his side, Ling Chen shook off the water droplets on his face. A very unfamiliar, very complicated and indescribable emotion suddenly rose in his heart. Although he was only 22 years old this year, he had really experienced too many storms in his life, to the point that normal people could not imagine. And the countless life and death situations he had faced these years, countless predicaments, he had always faced them alone, endured them alone, clenched his teeth and endured them alone … No matter if it was the real world or the game world. Right now, in a desperate situation, such a little creature that had just followed him jumped down and swam to his side. He, who had never had a companion before, looked at Little Gray who swam closer and suddenly had a feeling that he was no longer alone. He had a feeling that he could rely on in a desperate situation … And this feeling seemed to be pretty good.
Chirp ~ ~ ~ ~
An intense sense of danger came from the top of his head. Although he had fallen into the abyss, the Zephyr Bird seemed to know that he had not died and dived down from the sky, charging straight at him. In the blink of an eye, it had already arrived above his head with a violent gust of wind.
In the water, the agility of the body was far from comparable to on land. In his eyes, the body of the giant bird was rapidly enlarging. He had no time to think, using his fastest speed he raised the Celestial Aqua Scale in his hand …
Bang!
The Zephyr Bird's attack once again landed on the Celestial Aqua Scale. In the sound of collision, its body was bounced far away like before. Ling Chen's body was also fiercely smashed into the water under the force of the collision.
-43, -43, -43 … …
Ling Chen's body sank in the water. Above his head, a red number would float up every second. As he sank, Little Gray also dived into the water in an instant, drawing out a gorgeous water mark in the water and already charging to Ling Chen's body. Using its small body to prop up under Ling Chen's body, it seemed to want to stop his body from diving down.
Ling Chen clenched his teeth and looked upwards. Through the clear water layer, he could very clearly see the situation above. He saw the Zephyr Bird circling in the air above, but it did not charge down again.
That's right, one of the weaknesses of the Zephyr Bird is that it cannot swim! In other words, if he dived into the water, it would not be able to attack him!
Thinking up to here, his mind slightly shook, faintly seeing a trace of hope … Of course, this is absolutely not the hope of defeating the Fierce Zephyr Bird, but the hope of escaping from its claws. If he dies, his level will directly return to zero. Even if it is impossible for him to defeat the Zephyr Bird, he will also absolutely not allow himself to die in its hands.
His body struggled to maintain balance in the water. He put away all his weapons and swam along with the flow of the water. At the same time, he silently looked at his health bar.
Among the Life Skills of the players, one of them was' Swimming '. After learning how to swim, they would have a certain degree of mobility in the water. The higher the level, the more freedom they would have in the water. At the same time, they could also use various recovery potions in the water. However, if he did not have the Swimming Skill, his HP would continue to decrease if he remained in the water for more than five seconds, although he could move in the water through his body movements. In shallow water, his HP would decrease by 10% every second. The deeper he dived, the greater his HP would decrease. Also, without the Swimming Skill, any HP recovery potions would be ineffective in the water!
Right now, Ling Chen's HP was decreasing at a rate of 10% every second. In 15 seconds, he would completely die … In other words, Ling Chen could only stay underwater for a maximum of 14 seconds before he would have to poke his head out of the water to recover his HP and breathe.
The speed at which the water flowed in the abyss was not fast. While Ling Chen focused on his falling HP, he tilted his head to look at the position of the Zephyr Bird in the sky. Under the water, he could see things above the clear water, but in the sky, it was hard to clearly see things slightly deeper than the water surface. Therefore, even though he was moving with the water underwater, the Zephyr Bird was still circling in its original position. Ling Chen silently prayed that after a dozen or so seconds, he would have already been washed away by the water to a position where he would be out of the Zephyr Bird's attention range. Then, after breathing, he would be able to swim even further with the water, making it hard for the Zephyr Bird to find him again.
10 seconds … 11 seconds … 12 seconds …
Ling Chen fiercely held his breath, his body leaping upwards with all his might. With a "pu" sound, he came out of the water surface and gasped for a few mouthfuls of air. At the same time, he did not forget to quickly drink a bottle of yellow potion to recover his HP to full. Before diving back into the water, he raised his head and looked towards the direction of the Zephyr Bird. He discovered that the Zephyr Bird was actually flying in this direction, a pair of green eyes firmly locked onto him.
In 12 seconds, he was brought out by the water flow for a distance of nearly 100 meters … This distance was actually still unable to escape the Zephyr Bird's spiritual sense!
Pu!
Ling Chen's body dived into the water like lightning. Above his head, the enormous shadow of the Zephyr Bird touched the water surface, then stuck close to the water surface and drew an inverted parabola, flying back into the air.
As expected, it was unwilling to enter the water. Ling Chen who was in the water silently thought, but suddenly, his gaze darkened and his body quickly moved, making his body forcefully sink deeper … Because his gaze passed through the water surface, he saw the Zephyr Bird's body facing the water surface, its wings quickly flapping.
Hu …
A frenzied storm formed, charging towards the water surface where Ling Chen appeared before amidst the whistling sound … The Zephyr Bird's large area of effect wind attack technique — — Cold Wind Fang!
Under normal circumstances, this Cold Wind Fang can instantly envelop the area 20 meters in front and 10 meters to the side. But when this storm hit the water surface, Ling Chen secretly let out a sigh of relief in his heart. Because the might of the Cold Wind Fang only seeped into the water surface two meters deep before completely disappearing, being completely dispersed by the water.
In other words, as long as he is below the water surface two meters deep, the Cold Wind Fang is also unable to harm him.
But even so … moving along with the water for more than ten seconds, he was still instantly locked onto by the Zephyr Bird. How should he escape from the Zephyr Bird's line of sight?
Looks like he can only continue to follow the water and search for other opportunities like waterfalls.
Making up his mind, he held his breath and his body continued to move along the water.
If it was other people, in this kind of situation where there is no possibility of an outcome, most of them would directly choose to give up, no longer wasting time and enduring the torture. But Ling Chen … The life and death situations he has experienced in this life are seriously too many. Who knows how many times the grim reaper has waved at him, but the outcome is always him defeating the grim reaper … Unless he really dies, otherwise, no matter what he faces, no matter what situation he encounters, he will absolutely not give up. He will do his best to fight until he no longer has any strength left. Just like what he believed before … In his life, there has never been the word "give up"! Never in the past, never in the future!
Thirteen seconds later, he once again stuck his head out of the water to breathe. When his health had just returned to full, danger approached once again. The Zephyr Bird that was pulled out a distance of over a hundred meters flapped its wings and flew over like before. The hundred meter distance was closed in the blink of an eye under the flapping of its enormous wings. Ling Chen silently sighed, took in a deep breath and abruptly dived into the water, leaving the Zephyr Bird at its wit's end once again.
He didn't know how long this river flowing between the mountains was, nor did he know where it flowed to … When Ling Chen stuck his head out of the water to breathe for the tenth time, he didn't even know if this place still belonged to the range of Wargod's trial grounds, or if other dangerous beasts would appear in front of him. But in order to live, he could only follow the water down, helplessly repeating the same action over and over again, following the water flow further and further away …
But the surrounding scenery didn't seem to have changed at all. The Zephyr Bird also didn't lose its target from start to finish.
After the twentieth charge, when Ling Chen who had drilled his head out of the water to breathe missed, the Zephyr Bird finally flew into a rage.
Chirp ~ ~ ~ ~
This chirp was longer and louder than any of the previous ones. Ling Chen who was underwater raised his head to look at the sky and saw the Zephyr Bird's body surrounded by a layer of dark green light, circling around a fixed circular trajectory and quickly flying in circles. It became faster and faster … In the end, it actually swept up a dark green circle, as if there were countless Zephyr Birds circling and flying in circles.
Hu …
An extremely berserk wind was raised. The wind brought up the air, then brought up the water surface, and then brought up Ling Chen who was below the water surface … All of them were swept into the wind.
Oh no!!
Frenzied Wind … These two words flashed in Ling Chen's mind.
Ling Chen was secretly shocked in his heart. But the power of the water brought up by the violent wind was something he simply couldn't resist. He was slowly lifted up by the rotating violent wind along with a large amount of river water, all the way until he was brought out of the water surface. His body was also swept towards the center of the storm amidst the spinning that made his brain dizzy. When the storm stopped, he was already thrown high into the air, and then free-falling down from the sky …
The Zephyr Bird's circling body stopped, then with a sharp chirp, it charged straight towards Ling Chen who was in the air.
Although the Frenzied Wind doesn't have any damage judgement, once you're swept into it, you'll enter a dizzy state for at least 5 seconds. Right now, Ling Chen who was falling motionlessly had his consciousness completely blank.
Following his descent, the Zephyr Bird also got closer and closer. Right when its attack was about to land on Ling Chen's body and kill him, Ling Chen's eyes suddenly recovered clarity. His right hand practically didn't need his brain's reaction time to already stretch out at an inconceivable speed. The Immortal Aqua Scale blocked in front of him …
At this time, from the time Ling Chen was stunned, not even 3 seconds had passed.
Bang!!
If the Zephyr Bird didn't use an aerial attack and instead used Cold Wind's Fang, Ling Chen would definitely die because the Immortal Aqua Scale could only block close combat attacks. But the Zephyr Bird also couldn't possibly think that Ling Chen would actually recover from the dizzy state so quickly.
The Zephyr Bird's attack was once again neutralized by the Immortal Aqua Scale. Amidst the impact, Ling Chen fell below the water's surface and was safe once again.
Dizziness, confusion, sleep … These sorts of negative effects are all triggered by the system stimulating the mind, thus causing the corresponding effects to be triggered. However, when a person's mental strength is strong to a certain degree, then even the mental stimulation bestowed by the system will be largely neutralized. Under Ling Chen's powerful mental strength, the dizzy effect of the Frenzied Wind only lasted for 2 seconds on his body.
But this time, it was also enough to make Ling Chen break out in cold sweat. The Immortal Aqua Scale in his hands also only had the last two uses of effect left.
Will there be a turning point … If there is, just where is it!
