At a riverbed in the Canglin Peak's trial ground.
Su Yu's ginger yellow sleeves were pulled up, revealing a pair of snow-colored slender arms. This was in line with her weak image that she could not cultivate for many years, if there weren't any pieces of man-eating fish's internal organs thrown on the ground.
In a blink of an eye, the fish was cleaned and thrown into the big iron wok.
Fish heads, tails and bones are thrown into a separate soup pot.
Hang Wan'er's golden hairpin, who was only half a step away from Su Yu, paused. Her eyelashes trembled in shock.
Yan Yan's dragon scale sword was only three inches away from the fish, but at this moment, it hummed in the air and paused.
Lu Yizhou and Yu Dong were all sluggish. Even Little Sixteenth took a step back.
Is this their Second Senior Sister?
The shock at the moment made them more awake than the combs on the back of their heads.
'Want to rescue Second Senior Sister?'
'Sorry, we don't deserve it!'
"Who lied to me that alchemists are not good at fighting? Who said refiners only use fire and hammers?"
"She was indeed a sword cultivator before, but isn't her water-breaking sword just flashy?"
"Why is she more like a swordsman than the swordsmen?!"
"Wait, I knew why she didn't go to the ring in the first round. She was the hidden card of Zhiqiong Peak!"
"Understood. She was training her junior brothers and sisters."
"That's... that's right. If she went to the ring in the last round, what would happen to Yan Yan?"
The disciples watching the battle were in shock and full of discussion in front of the projection array.
The elders and peak masters also looked surprised.
Especially the top three peaks, Yi Ge and the other peak masters, who looked solemn.
They have never seen Su Yu make a move. They have been watching her being guarded by everyone from Zhiqiong Peak.
Even when they climbed Bitao Mountain that day, she only showed the ability to refine weapons. She didn't even use a sword to fly.
And in the library, she is not one of the six people who understand the Wordless Book.
Even in the first round of ring battle, she never played.
They all have preconceived illusions that she is just a genius alchemist who is good at refining weapons and not good at fighting.
A genius like this either perishes early or becomes a weakling who must rely on powerful swordsmen and healers in the future.
Relying on the protection of others is also a sin. Even if you have countless treasures and the ability to refine magic weapons, it is also useless.
On the road to immortality, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will not kill them and seize all the treasures.
But now - she is so amazing that she doesn't lose to the chiefs of their peaks!
They have to really take her seriously.
Several Peak Masters, who had followed Yi Ge to vote against Zhiqiong Peak many times before, had a trace of regret on their faces.2
...
He wanted to escape but was tied by the Five Immortal Ropes.
Just as he was about to break free, he was hit by the nine-rods nine-color abacus.
This abacus is like a shackle, with two beads on the upper column locking his head and remaining beads on the lower column locking his hands and feet. He was unable to move at all.
Chen Jiang released all his Golden Core cultivation, but he was unable to break free.
These three-rank high-grade beads seem to have spirituality. It tightens as soon as he moves.
And it didn't take long for him to feel a kind of inner grief, thinking of the pain when he couldn't surpass the fifth-place peak's disciple next door.
"Second Senior Sister's magic weapon is really powerful." Hang Wan'er looked at Yu Dong enviously.
Su Yu slowly dried her hands with the spirit fire and pointed at the Golden Core disciple.
Hang Wan'er immediately said, "Senior sister, this is the third Golden Core disciple of the sixth-place peak, Chen Jiang. He is in the middle stage of the Golden Core. He is treacherous and has attacked people in the ring in the past. We can't spare him lightly!"
Su Yu lowered her eyes, looked at the dark-faced disciple whose face was deformed by the beads and nodded slightly.
The yellow sleeves that she folded up leisurely covered up her snow-white wrist.
"It turned out to be Brother Chen. You may not know what the price of my safety is."
'What?'
Chen Jiang frowned.
He looked at the bright woman in front of him with bright eyebrows and apricot eyes, and he sneered, "Let me go, or my senior brother will come to you soon! You don't want to become our enemy. Even if you know how to refine tools, so what? Do you think you are the only tool refiner in the world? You only made a second-grade comb. Even if the second-grade comb can increase understanding, you can only use it five times at most!"
"Fifth Junior Brother," Su Yu didn't bother to talk to him more. "Brother Chen didn't understand it yet. You can do the math for him."
Yu Dong's eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed in front of the man.
The abacus on his head began to move in an instant.
"Senior Brother Chen, what my sister just killed was a second-rank superior man-eating grouper.
She usually doesn't make a move, but when she makes a move, she refines second-grade and third-grade instruments. The price of one piece ranges from ten to two hundred thousand spirit stones.
You provide some raw materials this time, which this monster. So we will give you a discount of 10,000 spirit stones, so the cost of sneaking up on my senior sister this time and attracting her to take action will be counted as 190,000 spirit stones."
"If you use our peak contribution-"
Su Yu frowned. "Not everyone is qualified to contribute to Zhiqiong Peak."
Yu Dong suddenly realized that. Hang Wan'er and others also raised their chests proudly.
"Yes, this kind of scum is not worthy!" Hang Wan'er snorted, "Fifth Senior Brother, take his spirit stones!"
Yu Dong nodded, "Then Senior Brother Chen, the full price is 190,000 spirit stones."
"My sister's precious hand for refining weapons has done a lot of hard work in killing monsters, delaying her refining time. If she was injured and unable to refine weapons for a short period of time, the consequences would be worse. I have given Senior Brother Chen a very cheap calculation. So I will only charge you 190,000 yuan. Do you want to pay the compensation for this sneak attack now or wait for your senior brother to pay it?"1
Chen Jiang's eyes darkened when he heard this. "What delays and loss of the refining tools? You are dreaming!"
Yu Dong suddenly became unhappy. "Then, Brother Chen, you think about it slowly. Once you figured it out, you can leave after paying the money."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Hang Wan'er.
Hang Wan'er immediately understood. Her Five Immortal Ropes rushed up and tied Chen Jiang into a ball.
Yu Dong immediately grabbed him and signed a compensation clause of 190,000 yuan.
His first level of mental technique has been improved by two-fifth in a short period of time.
"Second Senior Sister," he said brightly, "I have taught him a lesson."
Chen Jiang: "???"
Su Yu nodded with satisfaction, put her hands behind her back, and paced to her double-eared iron wok. "Well done."
In front of the projection array, all the disciples who were watching the battle were stunned. The face of the sixth-place peak master turned black.
The elders of the Precepts Hall also have complex expressions.
They know that there are not many refiners with a docile temper, but this is too cruel.
But on second thought, it makes sense.
The disciples watching the battle were also discussing it.
"If this sneak attack hurt her and made her unable to refine her weapons for the rest of her life, then Zhiqiong Peak will lose at least hundreds of third-grade magic tools. It would be worth more than ten million spirit stones."
"Indeed, Yu Dong only charged 190,000 yuan, which is really cheap and fair. It seems that you can't owe spirit stones when you do business with Zhiqiong Peak!"
The sixth-place peak: "...!"
"Be careful!"
"Ah! This fish... Damn!"
When everyone was talking, there was a scream from the water.
Then they saw a brutal underwater grouper jumping up and suddenly attacking the sixth-place peak cultivators who had just passed by with their flying swords.
The man-eating fish stumbled over the disciples, who were unaware of the danger.
Four or five groupers immediately surrounded the disciples and attacked them with a mental attack.
He screamed and fell into the river.
Everyone from Zhiqiong Peak looked at each other. Their expressions became solemn, and the face of Chen Jiang, who was imprisoned on the ground, was extremely ugly.
After a while, a red-robed elder appeared on the riverbed.
"Rongying Peak, two people are eliminated."
He took two disciples who fell into the water and disappeared in a flash.
Everyone from Zhiqiong Peak was silent for a moment.
They are all in the Foundation Building stage.
But soon, Yu Dong took a step forward.
"I can try to use my compass and heart method to avoid danger in advance. Second Senior Sister, I will try it with Little Sixteenth first?"
He is very active now. He is under a huge debt, his practice has no omission, and the safety is high. He dares to be the first in everything.
Su Yu nodded in relief and watched him fly out towards the river.
He held a compass in his hand, followed the direction of the arrow, and steered his Qiankun ruler, constantly twisting and turning on the river.
Zhao Ran had the lowest cultivation base among the six and followed Yu Dong carefully.
The river is full of mist. Gradually, it is difficult to see the way beyond three feet. At first glance, no one knows how long it will take to reach the other side.
From time to time, a few man-eating fish jumped up from the river. Once they met crossing cultivators, they would attack.
There must be a way to avoid it!
"Three feet left, right..."
Yu Dong kept detouring and avoided the groupers leaping from the water.
He missed nothing, and it's easy to use!
Zhao Ran was overjoyed. "Beautiful. Fifth Senior Brother got everything in mind. It is stable."
But as soon as he finished speaking, a jumping grouper wiped his sleeve.
As soon as the saber teeth bite, they rip off a large piece of his fabric. Only half a minute away from the flesh of his arm.
Yu Dong hurriedly turned around and held him so that he did not fall off the flying sword.
"No." Hang Wan'er took a deep breath. "Little Sixteen's position follows Fifth Senior Brother, but the timing is always half a minute late."
Feng Shui and luck are changing all the time. Lu Yizhou sighed. "It seems impossible for all of us to follow the compass of the fifth junior brother. "
Yan Yan immediately took out his dragon scale sword and killed the man-eating fish beside Zhao Ran!
"Then, one by one. My swords will take care of you at the rear. I have the confidence to escort you all."
Hang Wan'er frowned, "Then what about you? No."
"The field of vision is almost blocked in the second half of the river. It is difficult to observe the situation of Little Sixteenth." Lu Yizhou also objected. "We don't know what else we will encounter."
Yan Yan was expressionless. "After the two disciples of the sixth-place peak earlier, there was no sound of fighting. Indicating that there is no threat of high-level monsters in the front. I will stay at the end. There might not be any accident. Even if something happens, it's still better than all six people can't get through. The rules said we can change the disciples once, which means that the Precepts Hall originally expected that the six people will not be able to pass the third round together."
"Then I will stay at the rear."
Hang Wan'er pursed her lips and thought for a moment.
"My Seven Emotions and Six Desires exercise is more suitable for observing people's hearts. If you are in danger and you are in a panic, I can predict it earlier. If someone falls into the river, I can also use red silk to hold them back."
Yan Yan frowned. "No."
"You!" Hang Wan'er raised her eyebrows.
Yu Dong and Zhao Ran came back soon.
The conclusion that Yu Dong brought back is the same. "My calculations are not wrong, but I can barely take one person across the river. However, it is still not completely safe in the middle. The possibility of encountering a man-eating fish jumping up is three or four times higher. We need to be prepared to defend against the enemy. If I have to go back and forth, I need to adjust my breath for half a column of incense before I can bring people again."
But as soon as he finished speaking, a shout came from the other side of the river.
"Zhiqiong Peak, let my junior brother go. Otherwise, don't think about crossing the river! My sixth peak is stationed here and I will shoot down every one of you!"
The expressions of Yu Dong and the rest changed.
But just as they were about to scold them back, a hot wind blew an aroma of fresh fish into their noses and mouths.
Their thoughts were suddenly interrupted. They looked at the double-eared wok and soup pot behind them.
Soon they all swallowed.
'What is Second Sister doing?'
Su Yu beckoned to them, and the few people came over happily.
Su Yu pondered, "Crossing the river two by two is not good. The sixth-place peak is opposite the river. The two of us who arrive first will not have many advantages over the three of them if we fight. The eleven-place peak is also behind us. They shouldn't arrive yet."
Yan Yan's expression changed.
"Unfortunately, the two of us who cross the river the latest will meet the eleventh-place peak here." Su Yu opened the lid. "Since the challenge allows six people from one peak to enter, splitting up is equivalent to self-destruction."
Yu Dong smiled bitterly. "It's all my fault. I only understand the first level, and I can't expand the scope of my calculation."
He couldn't take five people through the river safely. He was almost endangered when he was only with Little Sixteenth.
Hang Wan'er pondered, "Then we must find a way for six people to cross the river together. We can't exceed the range that the Fifth Senior Brother can count."
Su Yu raised her eyebrows and looked toward the river.
She saw forty or fifty man-eating groupers on the river, opening their mouths to face them as if they were bound to win.
No matter how they jumped, the fishes on the river seemed to be in stable formation. The number of each pile remained the same.
"This is the habit of psychedelic man-eating groupers. They live in groups and attack cultivators' minds. The power is the highest when surrounded by dozens of them. We would all be within their mental attack range." Lu Yizhou explained.
Su Yu remembered. She had read this in her encyclopedia of monsters.
She often flips through them, but she didn't expect that when she actually saw the real thing. They were like piles of... bowling pins.
'Cough, sin.'
'Stop it!'
Master Su's mouth twitched, not daring to think about it.
But she took a deep breath and looked at her juniors.
"Don't be impatient. Senior Sister may... have a solution."
She added some water to the stewed fish head soup and covered the pot again.
She's going to make - bowling fish balls!
"Why did Zhiqiong Peak stop? Can't the person with a compass take people one by one?"
"They have a dilemma. Foundation Building disciples are not the opponent of the groupers at all. Even if they can pass the river, they are not the opponent of the sixth peak either, hey!"
"Unfortunate. It would be great if she was a third-grade smith."
The disciples shook their heads.
On the peak masters' viewing seat, the sixth-place peak master only smiled a little.
The first-place peak master, Yi Ge, also relaxed a lot. He finally moved his eyes to the projection array of his Linran Peak.
"At present, the second-place Linran Peak in the east and the first-place King Kong Peak in the south are the fastest. They have passed the first level."
"As expected of the top three. None of them was damaged. It's not like the fifth and sixth peaks who lost two disciples."
East, west, north and south. Each peak entered different entrances and encountered different trials.
But obviously, the top three peaks are much calmer. There is a big gap between them and the lowest ranking peaks.
"Brother Yi, it seems that this year is our three peaks again that will go to challenge second-class peaks." The first-place peak leader smiled.
Yi Ge smiled and nodded, but he heard the exclamation of the disciples watching the battle.
"What's that!"
"What magic weapon is this ball!?"
Yi Ge turned his head to look and was stunned.
Yu Dong is holding a ball that is white as snow, the size of a winter melon. It has three strange holes in it.
Yu Dong listened to Su Yu's demonstration and then tried to operate it.
His thumb, middle finger, and ring finger were stretched out into the holes. He rode his ruler, flew fast toward the river bank, and then—
Gently bring the snowball magic weapon in his hand to the front, and roll it straight out towards the river.
All man-eating fishes were knocked over!
Yu Dong: ...2
Hang Wan'er: ...
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
At a riverbed in the Canglin Peak's trial ground.
Su Yu's ginger yellow sleeves were pulled up, revealing a pair of snow-colored slender arms. This was in line with her weak image that she could not cultivate for many years, if there weren't any pieces of man-eating fish's internal organs thrown on the ground.
In a blink of an eye, the fish was cleaned and thrown into the big iron wok.
Fish heads, tails and bones are thrown into a separate soup pot.
Hang Wan'er's golden hairpin, who was only half a step away from Su Yu, paused. Her eyelashes trembled in shock.
Yan Yan's dragon scale sword was only three inches away from the fish, but at this moment, it hummed in the air and paused.
Lu Yizhou and Yu Dong were all sluggish. Even Little Sixteenth took a step back.
Is this their Second Senior Sister?
The shock at the moment made them more awake than the combs on the back of their heads.

'Sorry, we don't deserve it!'
"Who lied to me that alchemists are not good at fighting? Who said refiners only use fire and hammers?"
"She was indeed a sword cultivator before, but isn't her water-breaking sword just flashy?"

"Wait, I knew why she didn't go to the ring in the first round. She was the hidden card of Zhiqiong Peak!"

"As expected of the top three. None of them was damaged. It's not like the fifth and sixth peaks who lost two disciples."
East, west, north and south. Each peak entered different entrances and encountered different trials.
But obviously, the top three peaks are much calmer. There is a big gap between them and the lowest ranking peaks.
"Brother Yi, it seems that this year is our three peaks again that will go to challenge second-class peaks." The first-place peak leader smiled.
Yi Ge smiled and nodded, but he heard the exclamation of the disciples watching the battle.
"What's that!"
"What magic weapon is this ball!?"
Yi Ge turned his head to look and was stunned.
Yu Dong is holding a ball that is white as snow, the size of a winter melon. It has three strange holes in it.
Yu Dong listened to Su Yu's demonstration and then tried to operate it.
His thumb, middle finger, and ring finger were stretched out into the holes. He rode his ruler, flew fast toward the river bank, and then—
Gently bring the snowball magic weapon in his hand to the front, and roll it straight out towards the river.
All man-eating fishes were knocked over!
Yu Dong: ...2
Hang Wan'er: ...
At a riverbed in the Canglin Peak's trial ground.Su Yu's ginger yellow sleeves were pulled up, revealing a pair of snow-colored slender arms. This was in line with her weak image that she could not cultivate for many years, if there weren't any pieces of man-eating fish's internal organs thrown on the ground.In a blink of an eye, the fish was cleaned and thrown into the big iron wok.Fish heads, tails and bones are thrown into a separate soup pot.Hang Wan'er's golden hairpin, who was only half a step away from Su Yu, paused. Her eyelashes trembled in shock.Yan Yan's dragon scale sword was only three inches away from the fish, but at this moment, it hummed in the air and paused.Lu Yizhou and Yu Dong were all sluggish. Even Little Sixteenth took a step back.Is this their Second Senior Sister?The shock at the moment made them more awake than the combs on the back of their heads.'Want to rescue Second Senior Sister?''Sorry, we don't deserve it!'"Who lied to me that alchemists are not good at fighting? Who said refiners only use fire and hammers?""She was indeed a sword cultivator before, but isn't her water-breaking sword just flashy?""Why is she more like a swordsman than the swordsmen?!""Wait, I knew why she didn't go to the ring in the first round. She was the hidden card of Zhiqiong Peak!""Understood. She was training her junior brothers and sisters.""That's... that's right. If she went to the ring in the last round, what would happen to Yan Yan?"The disciples watching the battle were in shock and full of discussion in front of the projection array.The elders and peak masters also looked surprised.Especially the top three peaks, Yi Ge and the other peak masters, who looked solemn.They have never seen Su Yu make a move. They have been watching her being guarded by everyone from Zhiqiong Peak.Even when they climbed Bitao Mountain that day, she only showed the ability to refine weapons. She didn't even use a sword to fly.And in the library, she is not one of the six people who understand the Wordless Book.Even in the first round of ring battle, she never played.They all have preconceived illusions that she is just a genius alchemist who is good at refining weapons and not good at fighting.A genius like this either perishes early or becomes a weakling who must rely on powerful swordsmen and healers in the future.Relying on the protection of others is also a sin. Even if you have countless treasures and the ability to refine magic weapons, it is also useless.On the road to immortality, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will not kill them and seize all the treasures.But now - she is so amazing that she doesn't lose to the chiefs of their peaks!They have to really take her seriously.Several Peak Masters, who had followed Yi Ge to vote against Zhiqiong Peak many times before, had a trace of regret on their faces.2...He wanted to escape but was tied by the Five Immortal Ropes.Just as he was about to break free, he was hit by the nine-rods nine-color abacus.This abacus is like a shackle, with two beads on the upper column locking his head and remaining beads on the lower column locking his hands and feet. He was unable to move at all.Chen Jiang released all his Golden Core cultivation, but he was unable to break free.These three-rank high-grade beads seem to have spirituality. It tightens as soon as he moves.And it didn't take long for him to feel a kind of inner grief, thinking of the pain when he couldn't surpass the fifth-place peak's disciple next door."Second Senior Sister's magic weapon is really powerful." Hang Wan'er looked at Yu Dong enviously.Su Yu slowly dried her hands with the spirit fire and pointed at the Golden Core disciple.Hang Wan'er immediately said, "Senior sister, this is the third Golden Core disciple of the sixth-place peak, Chen Jiang. He is in the middle stage of the Golden Core. He is treacherous and has attacked people in the ring in the past. We can't spare him lightly!"Su Yu lowered her eyes, looked at the dark-faced disciple whose face was deformed by the beads and nodded slightly.The yellow sleeves that she folded up leisurely covered up her snow-white wrist."It turned out to be Brother Chen. You may not know what the price of my safety is."'What?'Chen Jiang frowned.He looked at the bright woman in front of him with bright eyebrows and apricot eyes, and he sneered, "Let me go, or my senior brother will come to you soon! You don't want to become our enemy. Even if you know how to refine tools, so what? Do you think you are the only tool refiner in the world? You only made a second-grade comb. Even if the second-grade comb can increase understanding, you can only use it five times at most!""Fifth Junior Brother," Su Yu didn't bother to talk to him more. "Brother Chen didn't understand it yet. You can do the math for him."Yu Dong's eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed in front of the man.The abacus on his head began to move in an instant."Senior Brother Chen, what my sister just killed was a second-rank superior man-eating grouper.She usually doesn't make a move, but when she makes a move, she refines second-grade and third-grade instruments. The price of one piece ranges from ten to two hundred thousand spirit stones.You provide some raw materials this time, which this monster. So we will give you a discount of 10,000 spirit stones, so the cost of sneaking up on my senior sister this time and attracting her to take action will be counted as 190,000 spirit stones.""If you use our peak contribution-"Su Yu frowned. "Not everyone is qualified to contribute to Zhiqiong Peak."Yu Dong suddenly realized that. Hang Wan'er and others also raised their chests proudly."Yes, this kind of scum is not worthy!" Hang Wan'er snorted, "Fifth Senior Brother, take his spirit stones!"Yu Dong nodded, "Then Senior Brother Chen, the full price is 190,000 spirit stones.""My sister's precious hand for refining weapons has done a lot of hard work in killing monsters, delaying her refining time. If she was injured and unable to refine weapons for a short period of time, the consequences would be worse. I have given Senior Brother Chen a very cheap calculation. So I will only charge you 190,000 yuan. Do you want to pay the compensation for this sneak attack now or wait for your senior brother to pay it?"1Chen Jiang's eyes darkened when he heard this. "What delays and loss of the refining tools? You are dreaming!"Yu Dong suddenly became unhappy. "Then, Brother Chen, you think about it slowly. Once you figured it out, you can leave after paying the money."After he finished speaking, he glanced at Hang Wan'er.Hang Wan'er immediately understood. Her Five Immortal Ropes rushed up and tied Chen Jiang into a ball.Yu Dong immediately grabbed him and signed a compensation clause of 190,000 yuan.His first level of mental technique has been improved by two-fifth in a short period of time."Second Senior Sister," he said brightly, "I have taught him a lesson."Chen Jiang: "???"Su Yu nodded with satisfaction, put her hands behind her back, and paced to her double-eared iron wok. "Well done."In front of the projection array, all the disciples who were watching the battle were stunned. The face of the sixth-place peak master turned black.The elders of the Precepts Hall also have complex expressions.They know that there are not many refiners with a docile temper, but this is too cruel.But on second thought, it makes sense.The disciples watching the battle were also discussing it."If this sneak attack hurt her and made her unable to refine her weapons for the rest of her life, then Zhiqiong Peak will lose at least hundreds of third-grade magic tools. It would be worth more than ten million spirit stones.""Indeed, Yu Dong only charged 190,000 yuan, which is really cheap and fair. It seems that you can't owe spirit stones when you do business with Zhiqiong Peak!"The sixth-place peak: "...!""Be careful!""Ah! This fish... Damn!"When everyone was talking, there was a scream from the water.Then they saw a brutal underwater grouper jumping up and suddenly attacking the sixth-place peak cultivators who had just passed by with their flying swords.The man-eating fish stumbled over the disciples, who were unaware of the danger.Four or five groupers immediately surrounded the disciples and attacked them with a mental attack.He screamed and fell into the river.Everyone from Zhiqiong Peak looked at each other. Their expressions became solemn, and the face of Chen Jiang, who was imprisoned on the ground, was extremely ugly.After a while, a red-robed elder appeared on the riverbed."Rongying Peak, two people are eliminated."He took two disciples who fell into the water and disappeared in a flash.Everyone from Zhiqiong Peak was silent for a moment.They are all in the Foundation Building stage.But soon, Yu Dong took a step forward."I can try to use my compass and heart method to avoid danger in advance. Second Senior Sister, I will try it with Little Sixteenth first?"He is very active now. He is under a huge debt, his practice has no omission, and the safety is high. He dares to be the first in everything.Su Yu nodded in relief and watched him fly out towards the river.He held a compass in his hand, followed the direction of the arrow, and steered his Qiankun ruler, constantly twisting and turning on the river.Zhao Ran had the lowest cultivation base among the six and followed Yu Dong carefully.The river is full of mist. Gradually, it is difficult to see the way beyond three feet. At first glance, no one knows how long it will take to reach the other side.From time to time, a few man-eating fish jumped up from the river. Once they met crossing cultivators, they would attack.There must be a way to avoid it!"Three feet left, right..."Yu Dong kept detouring and avoided the groupers leaping from the water.He missed nothing, and it's easy to use!Zhao Ran was overjoyed. "Beautiful. Fifth Senior Brother got everything in mind. It is stable."But as soon as he finished speaking, a jumping grouper wiped his sleeve.As soon as the saber teeth bite, they rip off a large piece of his fabric. Only half a minute away from the flesh of his arm.Yu Dong hurriedly turned around and held him so that he did not fall off the flying sword."No." Hang Wan'er took a deep breath. "Little Sixteen's position follows Fifth Senior Brother, but the timing is always half a minute late."Feng Shui and luck are changing all the time. Lu Yizhou sighed. "It seems impossible for all of us to follow the compass of the fifth junior brother. "Yan Yan immediately took out his dragon scale sword and killed the man-eating fish beside Zhao Ran!"Then, one by one. My swords will take care of you at the rear. I have the confidence to escort you all."Hang Wan'er frowned, "Then what about you? No.""The field of vision is almost blocked in the second half of the river. It is difficult to observe the situation of Little Sixteenth." Lu Yizhou also objected. "We don't know what else we will encounter."Yan Yan was expressionless. "After the two disciples of the sixth-place peak earlier, there was no sound of fighting. Indicating that there is no threat of high-level monsters in the front. I will stay at the end. There might not be any accident. Even if something happens, it's still better than all six people can't get through. The rules said we can change the disciples once, which means that the Precepts Hall originally expected that the six people will not be able to pass the third round together.""Then I will stay at the rear."Hang Wan'er pursed her lips and thought for a moment."My Seven Emotions and Six Desires exercise is more suitable for observing people's hearts. If you are in danger and you are in a panic, I can predict it earlier. If someone falls into the river, I can also use red silk to hold them back."Yan Yan frowned. "No.""You!" Hang Wan'er raised her eyebrows.Yu Dong and Zhao Ran came back soon.The conclusion that Yu Dong brought back is the same. "My calculations are not wrong, but I can barely take one person across the river. However, it is still not completely safe in the middle. The possibility of encountering a man-eating fish jumping up is three or four times higher. We need to be prepared to defend against the enemy. If I have to go back and forth, I need to adjust my breath for half a column of incense before I can bring people again."But as soon as he finished speaking, a shout came from the other side of the river."Zhiqiong Peak, let my junior brother go. Otherwise, don't think about crossing the river! My sixth peak is stationed here and I will shoot down every one of you!"The expressions of Yu Dong and the rest changed.But just as they were about to scold them back, a hot wind blew an aroma of fresh fish into their noses and mouths.Their thoughts were suddenly interrupted. They looked at the double-eared wok and soup pot behind them.Soon they all swallowed.'What is Second Sister doing?'Su Yu beckoned to them, and the few people came over happily.Su Yu pondered, "Crossing the river two by two is not good. The sixth-place peak is opposite the river. The two of us who arrive first will not have many advantages over the three of them if we fight. The eleven-place peak is also behind us. They shouldn't arrive yet."Yan Yan's expression changed."Unfortunately, the two of us who cross the river the latest will meet the eleventh-place peak here." Su Yu opened the lid. "Since the challenge allows six people from one peak to enter, splitting up is equivalent to self-destruction."Yu Dong smiled bitterly. "It's all my fault. I only understand the first level, and I can't expand the scope of my calculation."He couldn't take five people through the river safely. He was almost endangered when he was only with Little Sixteenth.Hang Wan'er pondered, "Then we must find a way for six people to cross the river together. We can't exceed the range that the Fifth Senior Brother can count."Su Yu raised her eyebrows and looked toward the river.She saw forty or fifty man-eating groupers on the river, opening their mouths to face them as if they were bound to win.No matter how they jumped, the fishes on the river seemed to be in stable formation. The number of each pile remained the same."This is the habit of psychedelic man-eating groupers. They live in groups and attack cultivators' minds. The power is the highest when surrounded by dozens of them. We would all be within their mental attack range." Lu Yizhou explained.Su Yu remembered. She had read this in her encyclopedia of monsters.She often flips through them, but she didn't expect that when she actually saw the real thing. They were like piles of... bowling pins.'Cough, sin.''Stop it!'Master Su's mouth twitched, not daring to think about it.But she took a deep breath and looked at her juniors."Don't be impatient. Senior Sister may... have a solution."She added some water to the stewed fish head soup and covered the pot again.She's going to make - bowling fish balls!"Why did Zhiqiong Peak stop? Can't the person with a compass take people one by one?""They have a dilemma. Foundation Building disciples are not the opponent of the groupers at all. Even if they can pass the river, they are not the opponent of the sixth peak either, hey!""Unfortunate. It would be great if she was a third-grade smith."The disciples shook their heads.On the peak masters' viewing seat, the sixth-place peak master only smiled a little.The first-place peak master, Yi Ge, also relaxed a lot. He finally moved his eyes to the projection array of his Linran Peak."At present, the second-place Linran Peak in the east and the first-place King Kong Peak in the south are the fastest. They have passed the first level.""As expected of the top three. None of them was damaged. It's not like the fifth and sixth peaks who lost two disciples."East, west, north and south. Each peak entered different entrances and encountered different trials.But obviously, the top three peaks are much calmer. There is a big gap between them and the lowest ranking peaks."Brother Yi, it seems that this year is our three peaks again that will go to challenge second-class peaks."
