Chapter 972: You Won't Regret It!
Although Yu Zhong heard that there were spirit beasts lurking in the Netherworld River, which was very dangerous, he thought that his strength was good, and he thought that even if he encountered the attack of spirit beasts when crossing the river, he should be able to escape with his whole body and not have any danger to his life.
But it was his arrogance that buried his life.
Before crossing the river, he threw a few sections of trees into the river, and flew over the river with the buoyancy of the trees, and when he reached the center of the river, he was attacked by the giant python that suddenly broke through the water.
Yu Zhong's fall cast a shadow on the hearts of the members of Ouyang Jian's team.
The giant python that took Yu Zhong's life just now has a strong attack, and if you want to successfully cross the river, you have to guard against its attack, and in addition to the giant python, I don't know how many powerful spirit beasts lurk at the bottom of this dark river.
Even if they gave up here and chose another section of the river to cross the river, it was hard to guarantee that they would not encounter other powerful spirit beasts.
In short, there are spirit beasts lurking everywhere at the bottom of the Netherworld, and it is by no means easy to survive successfully.
Seeing that Ouyang Jian's team was suffering, Shen Yulin, Huang Miao and the others couldn't be happy, because they wanted to cross the Netherworld River and face the same problem.
"You see, that's why this river is called the Netherworld. For thousands of years, it had devoured the lives of too many disciples of the Bitao Martial Academy. ”
Huang Miao glanced at Fang Bai and the others, then turned her gaze to the river that had calmed down, and said quietly.
"This Styx...... It's really dangerous!"
Hou Ziping just saw Yu Zhong being devoured by the giant python, and he felt a little afraid in his heart, and smiled bitterly at Fang Bai and the others: "That giant python is really fierce, if I encounter its attack when crossing the river, I'm afraid I won't be able to retreat with my whole body......"
Huang Miao sighed: "To be honest, I'm not sure. ”
Hou Ziping said: "Then do we want to move on?"
"What does Senior Brother Fang mean?"
Huang Miao knew that Hou Ziping had already retreated, and she was also a little hesitant in her heart, glanced at Fang Bai, and asked.
"What are we going to the mountains for?"
Fang Bai asked without answering.
Huang Miao was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "The fundamental purpose of our training in the mountains is to increase our actual combat experience, hone the martial artist's state of mind, and improve our own strength. ”
Fang Bai said: "Along the way, the spirit beasts we have encountered are all weak, and we have not experienced a life-and-death battle, if we retreat without a fight now, how can we increase the actual combat experience? How can you improve your own strength in this way?"
Huang Miao sighed again, and said bitterly: "Senior Brother Fang, I understand what you said, but if we continue to move forward, we may pay the price of our lives!
"I think it's worth it!"
Fang Bai's gaze swept over the faces of Huang Miao, Hou Ziping, Liu Qingqing, and Liu Liehu one by one, and asked with a smile: "I'm ready to move on, which of you wants to come with me?"
"Brother Fang, me!"
Liu Liehu was the first to stand up.
"And me! Brother Fang is not afraid, and I am not afraid!"
Liu Qingqing then stood up with a determined expression.
Their two siblings and Fang Bai are both from Liuhu Village, and Fang Bai has a kind of blind worship and trust, no matter what Fang Bai does, they will advance and retreat together.
Huang Miao bit her lip, looked at Liu Qingqing and Liu Liehu with a complicated expression, and finally made up her mind, and said, "Since you are not afraid of life and death, then what reason do I, as a senior sister, have to be afraid of difficulties and retreat?" I'll follow you on this adventure!"
Fang Bai smiled, and his gaze turned to Hou Ziping, whose expression changed, as if waiting for his reply.
Hou Ziping struggled fiercely in his heart for a while, and suddenly stomped his feet and said: "Last time I was severely injured by Yang Wei, if it wasn't for Senior Brother Fang's help, I might still be worse off than dead by now." Since he is already a person who has died once, what are you afraid of? Senior Brother Fang, I will give up this life and go with you!"
Fang Bai laughed, patted Hou Ziping's shoulder, and said seriously: "Senior Brother Hou, you will definitely not regret your choice now!"
When the five of them decided whether to continue or not, Shen Yulin and the others had already stood by the river of the Netherworld, found the best place to cross the river, and were discussing the way to cross the river in a low voice.
And Ouyang Jian and the others, who were hundreds of meters away, were also thinking about a good way to cross the river.
"Senior Sister Huang, we're ready to cross the river, and the five of you should follow me! ”
Shen Yulin beckoned to Huang Miao and the others, and said crisply.
"Senior Sister Shen is kind, we can't live up to it, just follow her!"
Fang Bai said.
Although he can easily cross the river with Huang Miao and others, he can be as low-key as possible when he can be low-key, follow behind Shen Yulin, and let Shen Yulin block him if he encounters any dangerous things, but he also saves himself from taking action.
Of course, if it really comes to the moment when his life is at stake, he will also help secretly.
Following behind Shen Yulin, the chances of successfully crossing the river were greater, and Huang Miao and the others readily agreed.
Just before Shen Yulin's team and Huang Miao's team were about to cross the river together, Ouyang Jian and his eight team members took the first step to show their skills, flying towards the other side of the river with the help of a few sections of trees floating on the river.
They used the speed of their body technique to the fastest, and they saw a series of green shadows flying across the river.
After counting the breaths, the nine team members led by Ouyang Jian had already swept over most of the river, and as long as they had a few more breaths, they would be able to land on the bank on the other side of the Netherworld.
Ouyang Jian couldn't help but secretly rejoice when he saw that no spirit beast appeared, thinking to himself that there was only that giant python lurking at the bottom of this section of the river? That giant python had just devoured Yu Zhong, could it be that it was digesting at the bottom of the river?
If so, that's great!
"My side paid the price of a team member, filling the belly of the giant python and leaving it with no time to attack, which is certainly beneficial to us, but it also made Shen Yulin and the others pick up a big bargain!
Ouyang Jian saw that he was only about thirty meters away from the river bank, thinking that he was safe, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shen Yulin and the others, seeing that they were eager to try and were about to cross the river, he secretly screamed in his heart that it was a pity.
At this moment, a strong crisis spread from underwater, and a keen intuition unique to martial artists made Ouyang Jian feel cold all over his body.
"Oh no!
Ouyang Jian subconsciously let out a loud roar, and at the same time, his body suddenly rose into the air, and looked down at the water under his feet, and vaguely saw a huge black shadow rushing from underwater, the speed was incredible.
