Chang Siguo felt that he was really unjust. His good luck seemed to be ruined by this tailless snake wrapped around his body.
It was fine a moment ago. He dived into the water and slowly dived downstream with the current.
The water was warmer than the surface, and with my eyes open, it was pitch black.
In order to save his breath, he did not open his eyes at all times. When he realized that danger was coming, he only had time to grab the tough and smooth neck of the strange snake that was sneaking up on him, preventing the sharp fangs from biting the back of his neck.
This long worm with its tail cut off was extremely fast and made almost no sound in the water, leaving him defenseless.
Before he could even pull out the knife, the snake's body, as thick as his forearm, was entangled in his left arm and body. He suddenly jumped out of the water with a burst of force, but failed to find a chance to break free from the entanglement of the strange snake.
Although the strange snake was strangled by his neck, it went crazy and tightened and strangled it in circles.
He was extremely powerful, but the most fatal thing was that he fell into the water again.
The breath of fresh air that I had just inhaled after thinking about it was quickly consumed by the struggle with the strange snake and could not be replenished.
Due to lack of oxygen, his chest felt tight, his eyesight turned black, and his strength gradually failed.
The whole body was rattling and squelching from the snake's body, and the bones ached as if they were about to break. The active breath in the meridians was suffocated and became inflexible, while the snake's body was still contracting and tightening.
The cold river water poured into my mouth and nose, and I often thought about it until I choked and fell into a trance.
Are you dying?
A helpless smile crept onto his ferocious, twisted and purple-swollen face.
He was unwilling to be strangled by an injured strange snake in the dark river, and even swallowed it, not even the bones and dregs were left, but what could he do?
There were many cultivators watching the excitement in the reeds on Hezhou, and it was impossible for them to lend a helping hand to him.
In their eyes, he was a Beirong traitor who was extremely evil and deserved to be cut to pieces.
This is not one of the consequences he had imagined when he came to another world. It is really inexplicably sad.
It's more of a cold and heartless irony. He made countless military exploits for Nanping, only to end up like this.
He thought wildly and laughed at himself, maybe it was the karma he caused because he killed too many people.
Chang Siguo, except that he was still subconsciously strangling the snake's neck and silently fighting against the strange snake, other parts of his body had given up struggling and sank into the depths of the river with the strange snake.
I don’t know how long passed in the darkness, maybe it was an instant, or maybe it was dozens of breaths.
Chang Siguo, who was dizzy and confused, suddenly woke up. The feeling of suffocation disappeared without knowing when, and he could breathe fresh air again. The breath in his body circulated rapidly along the meridians, because he swallowed Jibu Dan to absorb the power of the medicine, and then consumed it again and again. , with less than 10% of the breath left, miraculously restored to 20%, and is still increasing at a slow but perceptible rate.
Immediately, Chang Siguo discovered that he was not breathing through his mouth, but through the pores of his skin.
Bubbles so small that they were almost invisible to the naked eye bubbled out from the pores of his arm that was holding the snake's neck.
The slightest coolness supplied the oxygen consumption in his body.
Chang Siguo's mind was extremely clear at this time, and he understood that it was the black turtle inner breath technique that helped him unlock deep-level magical applications at the critical moment of life and death.
Perhaps, this is the secret of the black turtle’s inner breath that allows it to fake death
Breathe imperceptibly through your skin.
Sensing that the strange snake had loosened its grip on his legs, especially below the knees, Chang Siguo immediately adjusted his breath, suddenly exerted his strength, bent his left leg and raised it upwards, and at the same time quickly reached down with his left hand, pointing his fingers toward the trouser leg. Grab the short blade of the binding.
After the mortal iron dagger that Father Hei gave him broke when he climbed the city, Chang Siguo left the sheath of the dagger and ordered a sharp and strong dagger in the service building for emergency use.
This turn of events was beyond the snake's expectations. When it reacted in the cold water deep in the river and tightened its restraints, Chang Siguo tore his clothes and pants, pulled out the dagger, and exerted force on his wrist, infusing his true energy to control the dagger. A hard cut.
The sharp blade instantly opened the tough scales on the snake's body, penetrated deep into the skin, and scarlet blood flowed out.
The strange snake was in pain and began to tighten its body tightly to strangle its opponent. Unfortunately, this time, it could no longer take advantage of Chang Siguo. It had breath replenishment and abundant oxygen supply. Chang Siguo was very calm and pinched the wet snake hard with his right hand. The greasy and tough snake neck almost pinched into the scales, pinching the snake's eyes until it bulged, and the forked tongue stretched out and swallowed feebly.
Chang Siguo's muscles all over his body bulged to resist the contraction of the strange snake. He swung the dagger with his left wrist and cut downwards fiercely.
After a moment of stalemate, the thick-armed snake body was cut into two sections from the middle.
Blood splashed, and the dim river water became even more turbid.
Immediately, he felt the restraints below the abdomen loosen. With a break, half of the soft snake body was released, rolling down the dark river bottom along with the current. Chang Siguo had a cold and sinister smile on his face, and he shook his free left hand. Arms, the thought passes, the breath flows freely, and the arms are full of strength.
The short dagger emitted red light in the water, stabbed five inches below the neck of the wildly twisting snake, and used its strength to cut outward.
He pinched the ferocious snake's head with his right hand and pulled it upwards with all his strength, cutting and separating the taut snake's head from the snake's body. The tight snake's body was like a loose rope. As he shook with his strength, it spread downwards and fell.
He finally survived this life-and-death disaster, which was more dangerous than any previous war.
After escaping death, a rare smile appeared on his indifferent face.
Chang Siguo moved his body and limbs in the water, and felt an indescribable feeling of comfort all over his body. His perception became more acute, and there was an indescribable excitement in his mind. I wonder if this life-and-death crisis can be regarded as the foundation of the second calamity. The calamity of the environment
He learned about some interpretations of the word "tribulation" in the realm of body refiners by reading the classics.
The so-called one calamity, two calamities and three calamities refer to the various calamities and tests that body refiners have to go through during their cultivation.
Specifically, what calamity each body refiner will experience, whether it is internal calamity, external calamity, or life and death calamity, is not the same, and you must find and discover it yourself.
That's why there are so few cultivators in the Three Tribulations Crystal Bone Realm.
Many cultivators who have broken through to the Crystal Bone Realm have not fully achieved the tempering of their own skin, so they break through in a daze.
Chang Siguo threw away the snake head in his hand and felt the magic of breathing without the need for mouth and nose. He picked up the dagger that had done so much and put it back into the short sheath on his trouser leg. He pulled out the black wooden bow from his waist and opened the arrow pot slightly. He opened the hole and took out two intact arrows from the middle that were not broken by the alien snake.
He was able to persist for a long time in the entanglement and strangulation of strange snakes, which was also due to the weapons on his body.
The quiver on his back is filled with arrows, and there is a scabbard and a black wooden bow at his waist. When the snake is wrapped around the body, no matter how much the bow string is twisted, the bow arm, scabbard and bulging quiver can still support him. Creating some gaps helped him buy time.
Chang Siguo looked out his eyes in the water and followed the water downstream, away from the place where he had just fought with the strange snake.
He found that after this struggle of life and death, it seemed that some kind of shackles had been broken, and even the detection of the Sky Eye was much further away.
Previously, he could detect up to three feet in the water, but now he can detect about five feet. This is a considerable leap. When converted into unobstructed air, he can detect about fifteen or sixty feet.
When we surfaced and approached the water, our "sight" passed by and the night was as clear as day.
Ten feet away behind him, there were two rough wooden rafts floating on the water. There were ten cultivators standing on each of them. Some people used branches as paddles to paddle the rafts, and some people held fire and weapons, looking solemnly, looking at the water surface carefully. , beware of attacks by strange underwater snakes.
His "eyesight" swept into the air, and a white eagle slowly hovered about seven or eight feet above the water.
Chang Siguo finally saw clearly the face of the man on the back of the eagle.
He froze underwater.
This person has a soft appearance, with a fair face turned blue by the cold wind. He wears a white scarf on his head, and there is a hint of exhaustion in his eyes. He is an acquaintance he does not know very well, Liu Zhirou from Bei'an City, a certain person in the Bei'an Army. A general's staff member, he joined the army in vain.
At the banquet held to reward reinforcements in Sihuang City, he and Liu Zhirou once sat at the same table and had a pleasant conversation.
It was undoubtedly the Bei'an Army that received the mission to encircle and kill him.
Chang Siguo, who has always been decisive and ruthless in killing, hesitated.
For Liu Zhirou, who serves as the spy in the sky, should he kill him with one arrow, or should he just shoot him down and let him survive?,,
