canyon.

With a depth of more than 800 feet, the sunlight from the sky cannot shine into this dark and silent river all year round.

Only a handful of deep-water spiritual fish and demon fish can adapt to the terrifying water pressure here and survive in this dark river bottom.

Apart from this, there is almost no other biological activity.

Ye Chen's body was glowing with golden light and blue light. Deep in the cold and dark river, he looked coldly at the red glow of Liu Hongdan not far away.

The two faced off nervously.

This is the light of the protective shield, which can illuminate the water area of ​​more than ten feet in radius.

The strong murderous aura spread all around along with the blood from Ye Chen's wound.

A black-scaled eel more than ten feet long lurked deep in the river bottom. It smelled the smell of blood, and excitedly emerged from the cave in the gorge wall where it was hiding, and swam over with all its strength. But it was thousands of feet away, and suddenly felt

The murderous aura in the bloody gas immediately frightened it, and it swooped a few times and quickly rushed back to the cave nest where it was hiding. It could exude such a strong murderous aura, and obviously not a fourth-level monster fish like it could compete with it.

"It seems you are not going to hand over Xu Wei's storage bag!"

Liu Hongdan waved the dagger in her hand with one hand and said in a cold tone.

"Xu Wei tried to hunt me down, but was killed by me instead. The storage bag he left behind after his death is a trophy and naturally belongs to me! It is understandable that the rules of the world of immortality have been left for thousands of years. You asked me to take it away when you opened your mouth.

I leave the storage bag to you, this is absolutely impossible! You want to take it away, unless you can kill me!"

Ye Chen stared at Liu Hongdan and chuckled, "But we have been fighting for more than half an hour. According to my observation, you are a monk majoring in the wind and fire elements. The speed of the wind element and the power of the fire element make you stand out on land."

You have extremely strong combat power. Unfortunately, in the eight hundred feet deep under the water, your two systems are completely restrained by the strong water pressure, and you are unable to defeat me, a mid-stage foundation-building monk. If you are not convinced, try again!"

He cast the spell silently, and a number of mine balls shining with lightning appeared above the palm of his hand. There were more and more fist-sized mine balls, a total of eight mine balls. They were floating within a range of tens of feet around him. They were in any direction.

He can completely cover all waters.

This is a mixed spell composed of elementary water and thunder spells, and its power is not very high.

Although these mine balls are inconspicuous in appearance and their attack speed is not very fast, once they explode, dense lightning can cover an area of ​​hundreds of feet in an instant.

Being hit by a mine ball will not cause much damage to the monks in the later stages of foundation building. However, the instant paralysis effect caused by the strong lightning strike can still cause a lot of trouble to the opponent.

"You~~ are looking for death!"

Liu Hongdan's pretty face became angry.

A little fourth-level foundation-building monk actually laughed at her, an eighth-level foundation-building monk!

Her body swayed and she suddenly shot towards Ye Chen.

It's a pity that on land, it is extremely fast and can swim hundreds of feet in the blink of an eye. But in this deep water, it seems extremely slow, and it can swim more than ten feet at most.

Before she could close the distance with Ye Chen, she saw eight shining mine balls heading towards her.

Then there was a series of thunder.

...

"Wow!"

A graceful figure rushed out of the river and flew into the air of the canyon angrily.

"Ye Chen——!"

Liu Hongdan was wet all over, and the paralysis caused by the lightning strike was still making her delicate body tremble. Yu held the sword in his hand and angrily swung several rays of sword light towards the abyss of the canyon, splitting the rushing river water and splashing in all directions, but it hit the bottom of the river.

Deep down, Ye Chen was helpless.

Eight hundred feet deep in the abyss of this canyon, her cultivation was so weakened by restraint that not only could she not kill Ye Chen, she could not even defeat him.

She, a famous little witch from Feng Mo Sect and an eighth-level monk, was forced to escape from the water.

She had never suffered such a loss at the hands of a monk four levels below her.

"I will stay in this canyon. I don't believe you can stay in this deep water for the rest of your life!"

Liu Hongdan was furious.

...

"I don't believe you can stay in this canyon for the rest of your life!"

Ye Chen muttered a few words. He found a reef at the bottom of the dark water, meditated silently, and took spiritual pills to practice.

He didn't want to waste even one day of training. He only had five short years to attack the ninth level of the foundation building period and get a place to participate in the joint examination of the nine great immortal sects in Yunzhou. If he lost this opportunity, he could only wait.

The next 10-year joint entrance exam is coming. You must practice hard every day and become stronger, even if you are in the 800-foot abyss of water.

Liu Hongdan couldn't fight him in this depth of water.

But he didn't dare to go up easily. Once he went up, he would lose the suppressive effect of the eight hundred feet of water on Liu Hongdan. In that case, he would not be able to defeat Liu Hongdan.

"Do you want to go somewhere else along the Yinsha River? ... No, the water of the Yinsha River can be deep or shallow. If you leave this place for dozens of miles, the river is shallow and the water flow is gentle, she will definitely catch up with her."

Ye Chen shook his head and rejected this idea.

The depth of the water in this canyon is unfathomable, at least more than a thousand feet. But leaving this canyon, the other upstream and downstream sections are very shallow, only one to two hundred feet deep. Many low-level monks in Wanbaowu fished in the water.

Yinsha relies on this to support his life and practice. The shallow water of one to two hundred feet can even see living creatures underwater with the naked eye. It has no restraint effect on late-stage foundation-building monks like Liu Hongdan.

Fish in deep water can live for a long time, but fish in shallow water are easily caught.

Once he was spotted by Liu Hongdan in shallow water, he would have nowhere to escape.

Ye Chen still understood this truth.

His only option was to stay in the deep water of this canyon and wait for Liu Hongdan to leave on his own initiative.

Three days passed by in a flash.

Ye Chen meditated under the water for three days. After guessing that Liu Hongdan would be disappointed and leave, he cautiously flew out of the river.

"Bah--!"

The moment he left the water.

"The rainbow shines through the sun!"

Accompanied by a loud shout, a fiery red sword light in the sky, like the blazing sun at dawn, pierced the sky and struck towards him. Liu Hongdan's shocking sword was executed in the sky of the canyon faster than it was executed at the bottom of the river a few days ago.

And the power is more than ten times greater.

Ye Chen was surprised.

Fortunately, he was well prepared and hurriedly took out several flying sword weapons and tried his best to block the fire flying swords coming from the sky.

"boom!"

Ye Chen forcibly blocked this critical blow, grunted, swallowed a mouthful of blood, and plunged into the abyss of the canyon. Holding the water-proofing pearl in his mouth, he quickly escaped deep into the river.

...

For half a month, Ye Chen recovered from his injuries at the bottom of the river. He came up to the river five times to check, and found that Liu Hongdan was always clinging to the peaks of the canyon, staring at the movements in the river. This discovery made him almost give up. Since Liu Hongdan refused to leave, he could only

Stay in this place.

Half a month later, when Ye Chen came up for the sixth time, he strangely saw no sign of Liu Hongdan.

However, Ye Chen did not dare to leave this grand canyon easily.

This canyon was the deepest place in the river for hundreds of miles. He left on the front foot. Who knew whether Liu Hongdan would secretly follow him. It was not wise to compete with the monks in the later stages of foundation building in terms of flight speed.

"Where did that woman go?!"

Ye Chen looked around in confusion.

He touched his growling belly and walked back to the river, intending to catch a few fish.

Although the Foundation Establishment monks can practice Bigu Pills, they only need to take Bigu Pills occasionally, but if they don't eat for a long time, they will still feel hungry easily. The taste of Bigu Pills is not very good. If there are other better foods, Ye Chen would not be happy.

Bigu Dan is often used.

After half a ring.

Ye Chen landed on the shore with two silver fish that were more than a foot long in his hands.

Silver spirit fish is one of Wanbaowu's specialties. Although it is a low-level spirit fish, it is extremely rich in spiritual energy. Eating this spirit fish is no worse than taking ordinary spirit pills. One piece is worth ten spirit stones. This silver spirit fish

Fish are hard to catch, and the big inns in Wanbaowu may not always have them in stock.

This is not difficult for Ye Chen. A lightning strike can make their bellies turn white.

He found some dry firewood in the canyon forest, built a bonfire, set up a wooden frame, and tied the fish with branches. He roasted the two silver fish on the bonfire.

When it was almost half cooked, Ye Chen took out a few bottles of mustard and other condiments from the inn from the storage bag and sprinkled them on the two silver fish.

A light aroma of cooked fish gradually spread in the canyon.

Ye Chen took a deep breath and felt very satisfied.

When he was studying at Beilu Academy of Wu Kingdom, he often barbecued various game meats in the back mountains to fill his stomach and strengthen his physical strength and blood. Later, he followed Princess Wu to embark on the path of cultivating immortality, and rarely cooked food by himself.

It seems that my craftsmanship has not become stale over the years.

"Hmph~, you are at ease and at ease, you are not in a hurry to leave!"
