As expected, after they sneaked to about this location, danger quietly approached.
There was not much time to wonder what happened to Jun Aoyan. Yakshas holding weapons emerged from the darkness one after another, one after another like mushrooms after the rain. With ferocious faces, they each pointed their weapons at the three of them. Unconsciously, the three of them were surrounded by a large number of monsters. They were not wearing the robes they wore on the shore, and their skin was as bare as that night in the water. It is estimated that this terrifying true face is directly exposed in front of everyone, which indeed makes people unable to have anything to do with "God".
A fierce battle is about to break out. The monsters attacked like hungry tigers, shouting something like curses. Qi Huan found that Bai Ya was right. The sound of Yaksha in the water was clearly audible, but when it reached the shore, it became incomprehensible. There was no need for him to ponder the reasoning behind it, after all, he still didn't understand a word.
There is no way to use spells underwater. But Qi Huan remembered that they could be injured with the weapons unique to the Yasha clan. Bai Ya understood in his mind and easily obtained a weapon for him. But Jun Aoyan's fighting method was suppressed in the water. The buoyancy of the water made the weapon in her hand very light, which she was not used to. In terms of control, the resistance made all her movements much slower. The two widened the physical gap, making Mo Dao cumbersome. At this moment, Jun Aoyan was undoubtedly a target among the agile and vigorous Yaksha group. One of the Yaksha struck Mo Dao's blade hard, and the weapon fell out of his hand in an instant and sank deeper into the seabed. Not only was Bai Ya's black knife not recovered, but another weapon was missing. Bai Ya really had a headache. He had known that bringing the two of them down would just be two more bottles of oil. He quickly made a few complicated gestures to Qi Huan, but before Qi Huan could understand them, he suddenly raised his knife and cut off the seaweed in his hand. Only then did Qi Huan realize that he had dived deeper, most likely to retrieve their weapons. His heart tightened, and he blocked Yaksha's attack in a hurry, without having time to think about it.
Can the one named Bai withstand stronger water pressure? He was worried when he suddenly noticed more Yakshas swimming downstream, and the number of monsters around him suddenly decreased a lot. Jun Aoyan also noticed that Bai Ya was like a fishing bait, attracting a large number of ferocious "fish schools" and followed him.
There is something deeper in the sea.
Qi Huan's first reaction was the Poseidon's treasure, the rumored miraculous halberd. He analyzed it quickly and thought that this was very likely. Although the Biluo Islands are vast in area, the Yaksha are concentrated along the coast of Jiutian Kingdom, so they should not be too far away from where people live. What's more, according to what the old man said, since Yasha had "rescued" him, and he simply held a halberd in his hand, the defense might not be tight - of course, it might also be that people didn't know the existence of Yasha at that time. They don't need to take any precautions against the treasure. The most important thing is the communication method of this group of people according to the old man. The spiritual network behind them must be limited in scope, otherwise, they would not have only occupied a small corner of the Nine Heavens Kingdom for so many years.
Jun Aoyan fought with a Yaksha with his bare hands, took away the opponent's bayonet, stabbed him in the eye, and pushed in hard. The monster's entire body moved in the water, and the knife failed to penetrate deeper. It clearly felt the pain and hurriedly hid back for a while, leaving a ulcerated eyeball hanging on the knife. There seemed to be blood melting into the water, but the liquid was probably colorless, and they could only see a few outlines of smoke floating away.
Qi Huan felt something was not right with her. Although Aoyan seemed to be able to be affected by the sea water, she still fought with that heavy knife for a long time. Maybe she didn't realize it herself, because even the most well-trained warrior shouldn't be able to persist until now in this situation. Moreover, in the water, Yasha's strength and speed were not at the same level as those on the shore, but she could easily fight against his fists and feet... Her physique had already surpassed that on the water.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing? It's hard for Qi Huan to judge. Her movements became more and more flexible in the water, visible to the naked eye, like a fish that had been basking on the shore for too long and was suddenly thrown into the water as if it were reborn. It gave him a bad feeling.
To make matters worse, she pointed down at him, deeper into the sea.
Qi Huan shook his head repeatedly. It is estimated that Jun Aoyan came first to find a knife, and secondly to help Bai Ya. If there were three, she probably wanted to test whether Yasha would follow her down. Because the sharp decrease in the opponent's number can easily arouse suspicion. Qi Huan didn't want her to be like this, it was too risky, not to mention how he would be able to deal with the remaining Yaksha if he was left alone? Even if they ran back to the shore, they would probably be surrounded by angry villagers, chopped into pieces and thrown into the sea to feed the fish, or tied to a raft as new sacrifices.
Speaking of which, I don’t know what happened to the two children. But this memory just flashed by, Qi Huan immediately stopped Jun Aoyan and grabbed her hand. He was shocked to find that her wrist was very cold, like an iron block soaked in cold water. But it felt very soft, not the softness of skin, but pliable, giving him the illusion that it could be restored even if it was broken.
Qi Huan stretched out the seaweed in his hand, tapped his chest with his fist, and pointed at his ears. What he meant was that the two of them could only move together, and neither of them could withstand greater water pressure. Bai Ya really has a tough body and a tough life. There was another sentence that he couldn't figure out. The general idea was that your weapons are really more valuable than your lives.
At this time, Jun Aoyan made an unexpected move. She first rubbed the seaweed with Yaksha's short knife, and found that it could not be sawed off. Then she grabbed the seaweed with her other hand, exerted force outward with both hands at the same time, and tore it off in the water. It is difficult for ordinary knives to cut this kind of thing, but she can do it easily. At that time, the seaweed was almost completely embedded in her wrist. Qi Huan's scalp felt numb just looking at it. However, after the seaweed broke off, she was fine at all, and there was no mark on her wrist. When he was surprised, Jun Aoyan pointed at him and then pointed up, gesturing for him to go up. Immediately afterwards, she dived deeper.
Put simply!
Qi Huan's temples hurt terribly. In addition to external pressure, there were also internal reasons. He had a severe headache, and in a trance he saw more Yaksha passing by with her. There were only four people left with him.
...Maybe it's not impossible.
Bai Ya was still trying to swim deeper. He felt that it was difficult for his nasal cavity to expel the air that had passed through his lungs. If he went deeper, he might hold the breath in his ears, which would be even worse. He felt like his lungs were going to explode, but it wasn't because of lack of oxygen. Now, he has become accustomed to that special breathing method, but it is still quite difficult to coordinate it with fighting.
All he left behind along the way were the monsters' broken limbs and arms. It was dark all around, and his eyes barely adapted to the extremely weak light, but it hurt from being squeezed by the water. After passing through a certain deep cave, the number of yakshas continued to increase. Do these monsters usually live in this area? Many shipwrecks appeared nearby, covered with starfish and shellfish. Some things he had never heard of or seen appeared in the sea, and even the fish looked weird. But he knew that wasn't enough.
A Yasha who was guarding him in front rushed towards him. He raised his arm sideways and used the opponent's momentum to cut off the arm including a large piece of the main body. But at this moment, something he didn't expect happened - there were some strange buds protruding from his wounds, densely packed, as if there was an octopus living inside, extending its tentacles one after another to test. Soon, one of the buds grew rapidly, twisted and expanded like a vine, and finally formed a new arm.
Although it was thinner and more tender than the previous one...but it was too much. Because other granulations also form new hands. In a brief daze, he stretched out his four complete arms again.
Bai Ya was completely stunned. It wasn't until someone's weapon behind him pierced his clothes and stabbed his flesh that he came back to his senses due to the pain, and quickly turned around and slashed Yasha behind him with a knife. This time, he hit the opponent without completely turning around. By the time he saw him, the Yasha's wound had completely healed.
impossible! He clearly felt that the scimitar must have pierced his skin, and the feeling as if the spines were being cut was definitely right. But thinking about the Yasha whose limbs were cut off just now, there seems to be nothing wrong with this.
He guessed that he must be very close to Poseidon's treasure. These monsters were healed by that power.
Bai Ya was still fighting with other monsters, and dozens of yakshas were coming and going near him at extremely fast speeds. He doesn't have to worry about their wounds multiplying again for the time being, because it's difficult for him to even defend himself, let alone take the initiative to attack. At this moment, he suddenly noticed another extremely fast thing rushing forward beside him. Before he could see what it was, the figure had already stopped in front of him. When he pushed away a monster in front of him with the back of his knife, Jun Aoyan's face appeared in front of him.
She looked pale, as if there was not a drop of blood in her body. But her eyes were still bright, and her smooth movements symbolized her sobriety. Aoyan was holding her Mo Dao in her hand. It seemed that she had picked it up. The knife was not snatched away by the Yashas, or she snatched it back. But how did she do it so quickly? And... doesn't she know how to swim?
Bai Ya felt that he was very close to his black knife, but he was just not sure if the treasure was with it. He waved his white scimitar and tried to summon the other one. He vaguely felt that he was getting closer - but it might have been an illusion. In the water, all his senses are not so sensitive, and it is natural for him to malfunction. As for Jun Aoyan, she simply said hello when she passed him. Seeing that he could barely withstand the current situation, she immediately turned around and swam further. Bai Ya was a little panicked, but he didn't know what he was panicking about. He wanted to stop her, call her name, but all that came out of his mouth was a big puff of air, coming from his stomach. With a grunt, his last cry was wrapped in bubbles, floating upward, getting further and further away from the diving Ao Yan.
Jun Aoyan felt that her body was lighter than ever before. She seemed to be flying and swimming in this vast ocean. Her body quickly adapted to the pressure and resistance, and even continued to exceed the upper limit of endurance. She is in good spirits and getting better. She didn't know where to go, but there seemed to be a force guiding her. If she swam the wrong way, her health would get worse. It seemed like instinct to just follow the path that made her feel better. Passing through many obstacles and sweeping through scenery she had never seen before, her body and mind had never been so happy.
"Stop, this woman..."
What?
"Don't... Poseidon's——"
"...just wait."
"It's not... necessary, she..."
The voice that suddenly fell into her mind overwhelmed her. The sound did not come through the sea water, but was poured directly into her head. Compared with these understandable words, more complicated information actually rushed into her mind. It was just a trickle at first, but she didn't pay attention, and suddenly it turned into a roaring river. She could only understand a very small part, and the rest was still unclear, like hearing the voices of yakshas communicating in the sea.
The sounds are not specific either, but cannot be exactly described. Just like the voice that appears naturally in your head when you read a line of text, it's not even your own.
What happened to her?
