Chapter 7 water shock

As soon as Zhao Kuangyin finished speaking, Zhang Jindai already understood what he meant. After he went to the island, he entered the reed and wormwood bushes, which were all bright marks left by the red belt.But these marks could not be found later, and it is likely that they were removed by others.The damage mark is different, it is a mark that some fixed objects are damaged, and others want to eliminate the mark unless the damage is made up.This is much more difficult, just like cutting off some reeds in a circular block as a mark. If you want to make up for it, you must dig out and cut them in a short time, and then transplant them.In fact, even if this can be done, the traces of digging and transplanting will still be obvious.

Zhang Jindai did not cut down the reeds, but took off the tips of more than a dozen reeds.The dozen or so bald reeds were an obvious mark to them, but against the backdrop of the dense reeds, it was a mark that was not easy to find for others.And the marks that can be found by oneself in time but difficult for others to find are the most effective and effective marks. When the water surface on the trail was almost half a calf high, the dozen or so of them startled another water bird.This time the waterbirds were less frightened, they did not fly high or far away, they just spread their wings and skimmed a long distance close to the shallow water surface, as if they were looking for something in the water, and then lightly landed on a thick tree. On the reed, the neck twisted, and the spiritual eyes looked around, still staring at the shallow water, ignoring Zhao Kuangyin and the others at all.

To be precise, it was not the black crow that was frightened this time, but the black crow that frightened Zhao Kuangyin and the others.Because they not only saw the same waterfowl, but also saw the same bird's nest, a bird's nest made of red millet leaves.What frightened them the most was that besides seeing the bird's nest, they also found more than a dozen nearby reeds whose top flowers had been removed.Obviously, all this shows that they are still back to the original place, and they are only going in circles after traveling such a long distance.These brave people were suddenly confused, muddy, and incomprehensible.

Even Zhao Kuangyin felt a sense of fear in his heart. He walked through the wolf poison beach in Mobei and the Bihua Ridge in Wuyue Yuxi. They were all places where he couldn't tell the direction and couldn't get out.But the chamaejasma beach in Mobei is a natural environment, as long as there is enough water and food, and you can walk out by making obvious marks along the way.Bihualing in Yuxi is a Kankou set up by the Kanzi family (a sect specializing in setting up hidden weapons for organs). "The leaves are green and the flowers are green, and there is no sky and earth."However, as long as you can identify the "Lone Color Five Elements Law" of the Kan family and find out the main thread (the key law or key part is generally the basis of the entire layout, and other changes are extended from it.), you can also walk out calmly. .

But this place is different from those two places. It looks like a double layout of natural environment and man-made settings, and the main reason for this layout cannot be discerned.Because there are so many fields with reeds, it is impossible to see the actual shape of all of them.Often, before being able to go all the way around a plot, one is already forced to take a path around other plots.Therefore, it is impossible to find out which plot is the main clue to guide the whole situation. Another reason for Zhao Kuangyin's fear is the change of water depth under his feet.Regardless of whether the path I take is the same every time, it is a certain fact that I will return to the same place in the end.But at the same place, the depth of the water under the feet has changed a lot.

There are many possibilities for changing the depth of the water, maybe it is to let some lethal things come from the water and attack their own group.This is like the buttons that the Kanzi family puts in the face, like the claws that the stabbing puts down in the pocket.Even if you take a step back, even if there is nothing in the water to attack you, the rising water level may eventually drown you in the reeds. Zhao Kuangyin thought secretly that he was half wrong and half right.The main cable of the layout here is actually on the path of accumulated water rather than on the plot.He hasn't pulled out his thoughts from the vast reeds until now, and has always been entangled in those fields full of reeds.But his analysis of the slowly rising water level is quite accurate, and the use of this water is equivalent to the poisonous water used in the "Red Water Formation".Although there is no poison in it, it can allow things that are more harmful than poisonous water to swim from the water that is already deep enough to attack the target trapped in the "curved water".As for what kind of ferocious things, Zhao Kuangyin and the others will soon see with their own eyes, because those things are approaching them.

There was a sharp bird call in the distance, which should be a black raven.But no one knew whether this black raven was the one just now, and no one knew why it called or where it called. "What's that?" A young tiger guard beside Zhao Kuangyin exclaimed in surprise, the end of which was obviously crying. Everyone turned their heads to look, and a crystal water line rolled slowly along the path of accumulated water silently.The waterline is not high, and it is similar to the ripples caused by throwing a stone into the normal water surface.But the problem is it's not Ripple.There is only one waterline, because it is very straight, and it appears in every visible fork.

At this moment, there was another abrupt and strange cry of a black crow in the reeds.This cry was different from the one that came from far away just now. It was like an invisible rasp piercing a person's ear straight into the heart, instantly tightening the heart and stiffening the body.But this was just the beginning. With the sound of the black crow's cry, hundreds of black crows fluttered in the reeds at the same time, making the same cry that made people feel uncomfortable from ear to heart.Under the torment of this cry, people's tightened hearts relaxed again, and their stiff bodies became loose again.It's just that the relaxed heart seems to have lost the desire to beat, and the soft body seems to give up all its own support.

"Hi—" Zhao Kuangyin made a decisive decision, straightened his waist and let out a long drink.This yelling is to gather his own mind, and it is also to wake up others. "Everyone pay attention, this bird's cry is 'fighting bird clamor', it will disturb people's hearing and mind, everyone presses their tongues against their teeth, inhales deeply and exhales slowly. But we have encountered this bird before, and there has never been such a bird. Therefore, they did not target us when they issued the 'fighting bird clamor'. Instead, they should have discovered their natural enemies or prey and called their companions to attack together."

Fortunately, those bird calls did not last long, so under Zhao Kuangyin's reminder, the others quickly recovered. "Those birds are not targeting us. Could their natural enemies or prey be targeting us?" Someone asked Zhao Kuangyin timidly. Zhao Kuangyin frowned slightly: "It is very possible that the rise of the water level here is already very strange, and the appearance of the rolling waterline is even more strange. Everyone should try to be careful of things in the water." After saying this, Zhao Kuangyin took off his back He took out the long cloth pouch on his back, and pulled out his gold-plated Panlong stick.When the others saw that Zhao Kuangyin even took out the Panlong stick, they all knew the seriousness of the tense in their hearts.Therefore, everyone also took out their weapons and concentrated their attention on guard.

The crystal water line slowly rolled over where Zhao Kuangyin and the others were, and there was nothing in the water.But everyone did not relax their tense nerves and muscles, and no danger was seen after the obvious warning signs appeared. It can only show that the danger is closer, and the degree of danger may be more severe than expected. Suddenly, the strange cry of "Dou Qin Xiao" fell silent, and a large group of black crows seemed to be strangled by the neck together.The entire reed marsh became as silent as before.No!Even more silent than before.It was eerily quiet, terrifying, and unbelievable. Although a dozen of Zhao Kuangyin and the others were still standing still like clay sculptures, the sudden silence gave them a chance to be sure that they were still alive.Because in this silence, they could hear their own rapid heartbeat, the sound of rushing blood in the blood vessels, and the "crack" sound of the skeletal muscles in the palm of their hands after they clenched their weapons. The eerie silence was soon broken by an even more eerie sound, which was like the sound of rain hitting reed leaves, but none of the reed leaves around trembled.The reed leaves didn't move, but the water surface was noisy and jumping up. I didn't expect that the living water could make a sound similar to that of the reed leaves.Another water line moved over, but this time it was not a slow and silent water line, but a large section of water splashing, and the speed was many times faster than the previous water line. Although the current water depth is almost knee-high, the boiling water still stirs up the sediment at the bottom.The color of the water was dyed gray-yellow, making it impossible to see what was under the water.But one thing is certain: if the splash was caused by fish, it would definitely not be a single fish, but a group of fish.Another point can be deduced: the fish that caused such splashes are not ordinary fish, because their swimming posture is very special.Generally, fish swim forward by wagging their tails left and right, and will never form such noisy and jumping water splashes.Only a fish that swats its tail up and down and swims forward can create such a lively scene. "Back, back! See if there is a place to avoid these splashes." Zhang Jin'ao shouted. "No, there are splashes coming from behind!" "There are also splashes in the fork on both sides!" Although the dozen or so tiger guards are not masters of the rivers and lakes, they are all battle-tested and well-trained.So just after seeing the weird splash, he has already consciously looked around for a way to escape. "See if you can cut a piece of reed. The water will be relatively shallow where the reed roots are dense, and there are reed roots blocking things in the water. It is not easy to get close." Zhang Jin'ao added. "We can't do this. It might destroy the nests of one or two black crows. At that time, the birds will also regard us as enemies. We will be even more unable to parry if we attack both underwater and in the sky. And even in shallow water, The location of multiple stems may not be able to block underwater attacks." Zhao Kuangyin expressed his thoughts, and what happened next also confirmed his judgment. It was only a short while after the noisy splashes appeared, they were not far away from Zhao Kuangyin and the others, and the splashes gathered towards them from multiple paths, it was obvious that they had nowhere to hide this time. At this time, the silent flock of birds moved. They didn't call this time, but they made quite a noise.Hundreds of birds flapped their wings together, and the huge sound was like rain hitting the reed leaves, and the reed leaves really moved.Under this vigorous fanning, under the help of the flock of birds flying out, the reeds seemed to set off a green wave. It really is a fish underwater, and it really is not an ordinary fish.The flock of birds skimmed towards the water one by one, and the moment they attacked the fish with their beaks and sharp claws, the fish also appeared one after another.They didn't show up in fright because they were chased by water birds, but when the black crows approached the water, they jumped out of the noisy and dancing water splashes and launched a counterattack to the birds.
