Chapter Thirty-Five: An Unexpected Encounter

  Now Jiang Yunshui feels that he is uncomfortable from the inside out, his head is also dizzy and confused, and he can't get up from the ground. Every time he tries to struggle to stand up, he will fall down again.

  Panting and gasping for breath, Jiang Yunshui temporarily gave up the futile struggle and instead lay there resting. As he relaxed, every part of his body felt painful, including wounds he had not previously noticed and those he was already aware of, which now throbbed with even greater agony.

  Jiang Feng didn't know about others, but he thought that compared to his current self, they probably weren't much better off either. Among them, Cha Qian was the one who had been hurt the most, and he also didn't know what her situation was like now.

  Now Jiang Yunshui and the few people from Huozi Camp who entered here are completely separated again, and it will take some effort to reunite. Moreover, Jiang Yunshui feels that it is safer now, but he suddenly finds Qinling strange, and he really doesn't want to face it at the moment.

  Jiang Yunshui, who was now barely sitting up from the ground, rubbed his head with both hands, and as a result, his stomach made an uncooperative "gurgling" sound, apparently the five internal organs were telling him something.

  Jiang Fengshui reached into his own bosom and actually managed to pull out half a piece of cake, which was leftover from the previous time he had gone with Cha Qianzong to Emperor's Crown Mountain.

  Jiang Fengshui, who didn't quickly gobble down the cake, swallowed a mouthful of saliva to moisten his somewhat hoarse throat, and only then slowly began to nibble at the small half-block of cake.

  Now Jiang Yunshui has also learned to make the best of a bad situation, imagining that he is eating a roasted chicken, although his appetite is gradually increasing, but the rumbling in his stomach is getting even worse, and Jiang Yunshui himself is embarrassed.

  After swallowing the small half piece of cake, Jiang Yunshui slightly closed his eyes and stood up with both hands supporting him. After moving his body a bit, Jiang Yunshui felt that the pain on his body had also alleviated a lot.

  Now Jiang Yunshui can't see himself, but he can guess that he must be more tattered than before entering the Chengtian Palace. He touched his sleeve and found that it had already come apart at the seams, with several large holes.

  After patting the cotton robe on his body, Jiang Yunshui moved to the left according to his own feeling. The Chengtian Palace was no longer as shaky as before, but it still had some ups and downs. However, Jiang Yunshui could already adapt to it.

  After walking a dozen or so steps, Jiang Yunshui heard the sound of "rustling" coming from ahead. He hastily stopped in his tracks, and the sound from the other side also came to an abrupt halt.

  Holding her breath, Jiang Yunshui stared at the front, but her feet were retreating backwards. However, the sudden reappearance of the sound in front of her made Jiang Yunshui tense up instantly, and her footsteps quickened significantly.

  "Could it be Brother Meng?"

  Listening to this somewhat familiar voice, Jiang Yunshui first stopped and then responded: "It's me, is it Brother Chenglin in front?"

  "That's me!" he said with a smile.

  Jiang Fengshui was also delighted in his heart, this voice was indeed Qian Chenglin's, but he followed Qian Chenglin from this voice judgment, at least ten steps away, and this place was dark, even if he put his hand in front of his eyes, he couldn't see clearly. How did the Qian Chenglin opposite him know that it was himself, and even when he hadn't made any sound?

  However, when Jiang Yunshui wanted to take action, the footsteps from the opposite side came hastily, and some sparks appeared, which then ignited a small flame.

  Jiang Fengshui saw Qian Chenglin walking over, and only when he got closer did he see clearly that the flame in Qian Chenglin's hand was a small piece of tinder that had been ignited.

  Qian Chenglin arrived at Jiang Yunshui's side just before the flames went out, and immediately spoke up: "It really is Brother Yunshui. Now we need to find Second Brother and the others together."

  Jiang Yunshui said: "Everyone listen to Cheng Lin's brother."

  The two of them continued walking forward in the dark, and Qian Chenglin whispered to Jiang Yunshui: "Yunshui brother, we must not make a loud noise, otherwise there will be big trouble."

  Qian Chenglin was reminding himself Jiang Yunshui said: "Thank you, Brother Chenglin, for the reminder, but how did Brother Chenglin guess it was me in front earlier?"

  Qian Chenglin said: "This is related to my craftsmanship, now I'll tell you briefly, Brother Shui, that I have a pair of 'wolf eyes', also known as night vision."

  When Jiang Yunshui heard Qian Chenglin mention that he had a pair of "wolf eyes", he knew why Qian Chenglin could see him. People with "wolf eyes" can see farther and clearer in the dark than he can, but are actually less capable than himself in broad daylight.

  However, this was also the first time Jiang Yunshui had seen someone with "wolf eyes", and he looked at Qian Chenglin with curiosity. Suddenly, Qian Chenglin said: "Brother Yunshui, you're looking at me like that, it makes me feel like I'm a monster."

  Jiang Yunshui was taken aback, and hastily withdrew his gaze. However, with Qian Chenglin by his side, he felt a bit more at ease. With Qian Chenglin around, finding Zha Qian and the others would be easier than before.

  Qian Chenglin whispered to Jiang Yunshui, "Brother Yunshui, there's a black mark on your arm. Was it left by Qin Ling of the Chuanshan Sect?"

  Jiang Yunshui's heart skipped a beat as Qian Chenglin spoke of the recent events, and subconsciously he looked at his arm which had been grasped by Qin Ling, but he saw nothing.

  Qian Chenglin said, "Pregnant Water brothers, I saw everything that happened behind you two. At the time, I wanted to take action, but Qin Ling used you as a threat and warned me just as I was about to make my move."

  Jiang Yunshui's heart was already turbulent, but now it was even more so. The fact that Qin Ling had entered the Chengtian Palace and seemed out of place, and that Qian Chenglin had seen through everything, including his own threatening behavior, made things even more complicated. Earlier, Du Zhong had become strange, and now there was also the reappearance of San Ye, who had been stabbed by the crazy Golden Helmet, as if he were still alive. The situation inside the Chengtian Palace was becoming increasingly complex.

  Some absent-minded Jiang Yunshui felt that he had been blocked and stopped in his tracks, first glancing at Qian Chenglin, then looking ahead.

  "Qian Chenglin's voice was cautious as he spoke to Jiang Yunshui, 'Yunshui! There's something ahead, let's go around it from somewhere else.'"

  Jiang Yingshui and Qian Chenglin walked in the opposite direction, but after a few steps, Qian Chenglin stopped Jiang Yingshui again and said: "It seems that it's not easy to deal with. These things are obviously aimed at us two."

  Jiang Yingshui asked in the darkness: "Cheng Lin big brother, what is it?"

  Qian Chenglin said: "I have never seen it before, but there are quite a few."

  Jiang Yunshui thought Qian Chenglin was going to force his way through, and asked somewhat anxiously: "Brother Chenglin, what do we do now?"

  "Run!" said Qian Chenglin with a sigh.

  Qian Chenglin finished speaking, then pulled Jiang Yunshui's sleeve and turned around to sprint away. Jiang Yunshui, still being dragged by Qian Chenglin, had not yet reacted from Qian Chenglin's words "run" and had no choice but to escape.

  Qian Chenglin, who glanced back at the rear, muttered a curse in his mouth, grasped Jiang Yunshui's arm tightly and ran even faster.

  At this time, even Jiang Yunshui heard the movement behind him, which sounded like the sound of an iron hammer hitting an iron plate, continuously ringing from behind. Listening to this movement, it was clear that what was chasing him and Qian Chenglin was not in small numbers, and it was possible that Qian Chenglin had not dared to tell Jiang Yunshui the truth even after seeing it.

  Qian Chenglin, who was running, suddenly stopped, and this sudden stop caused Jiang Yunshui, who was being dragged along while running, to stumble before finally stopping in his tracks.

  Qian Chenglin, who didn't have time to explain, suddenly turned around and continued to drag Jiang Yunshui in that direction. It wasn't until Qian Chenglin stopped again that he seemed to have given up on escaping.

  Jiang Yunshui panted and asked: "Cheng Lin big brother, why did you suddenly turn around?"

  "There's someone coming from that direction."

  "Who is it?" Jiang Yunshui asked suspiciously.

  Qian Chenglin did not speak immediately, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "It's that golden helmet."

  When he heard that it was Jintouzi, Jiang Yunshui also lost his words, because Jintouzi's action of killing Pang San earlier was really too unexpected. If they were to meet with Jintouzi rashly, who knows what would happen. Jiang Yunshui also understood why Qian Chenglin suddenly changed direction and escaped.

  Senri Chihiro, who had been staring in the direction they escaped to, let out a strange "hmm?" sound from his mouth, as if he saw something unbelievable.

  Then he even gasped heavily and exclaimed: "How is that possible! Those things that were chasing us, were actually burned to death by Jintouzi!"

  Jiang Fengshui was also shocked: "Burned to death?"

  Qian Chenglin said: "It's been burned to death! The flames look like the 'Green Flame Corpse Moth'! But how could that golden helmet possibly get something?!"

  Just as Qian Chenglin and Jiang Yingshui were shocked, the golden helmet that had carefully put away the small bottle containing a small amount of "Qingyan Shigu" green granular substance, also let out a long sigh.

  This golden helmet is also a lucky escape from the hidden passage, these things that came face to face, if it weren't for bringing this thing with me, I'm afraid I would have been torn apart long ago.

  And he didn't think that the thing he picked up would have such great power, looking at the place in front of him that had been burned to ashes and was gradually darkening, Jindouzi set off towards the front again.

  Jiang Fengshui and Qian Chenglin also returned after Jin Douzi left, and they attached great importance to Jin Douzi. If they really met Jin Douzi, it's best not to conflict with him.
