Chapter 110: The beginning

A loud ‘hum’ came from the bowstring as it was released, but no arrow was shot.

It was a soundless explosion, just like our current situation. Under the thunder and lightning, the huge underwater creatures quietly retreated, not even leaving a threatening gaze.

I stopped pinching my fingers, Chengxin put away the medicine bottle, Xiao Chengqian slowly withdrew his technique, and the fat silkworm disappeared into Ruoyue’s hands… Finally, Uncle Johnny laughed to the sky and put away the mountain-opening knife in his hand!

The rain gradually subsided, the dark clouds dispersed with the wind, and the hazy vision appeared again above our heads. Everything was inexplicably calm again.

Uncle Johnny stopped his hearty laughter, wiped the rain that had just fallen on his face, turned around and said to me with a smile, “I won, the first round!”

“Congratulations,” I said to him, smiling, but my eyes were fixed on the words on the flag at the bow of the boat. The wind was blowing, and I didn’t know if it was a coincidence, but the words were still clear after the heavy rain.

“I’ll end up annoying him after all. We still had a thrilling battle, but it was a great feeling to win the first round,” Mr. Johnny responded to my words. I noticed that when he spoke, his hand was tightly holding a necklace around his neck. Before, when he was half-naked, I noticed that there was a beautiful gold chain shining around his neck.

The pendant was a beautiful, chic, crown-shaped box with beautiful diamonds inlaid on it, but it was obviously a woman’s jewelry.

I didn’t say anything about this detail, used to Johnny’s temper, I knew he hated people asking about his past.

The water was calm again, or rather, not completely calm. There was a constant breeze blowing, even pushing our raft towards the huge rock. Was this a compromise from Patel? I didn’t think so. The mysterious underwater presence might have preferred to express itself in this way in the next battle.

Uncle Jonny just kept smiling at the red flower on the rock, holding the necklace around his neck, without making any comments.

The raft hit the rock with a gentle thud. After experiencing what Uncle Johnny called a great scene, we finally made it to shore safely, and I felt deeply grateful for our safety.

Cheng Qingge stretched out his hands and pulled me up onto the rock. Everyone was wearing a happy, victorious smile. A group of bachelors had no brains at all, and were only “drunk” on the victory they had just experienced. They had no awareness that there would be a life-threatening battle later.

But I like it this way. This is life. If I can be happy now, why should I hide this happiness and start feeling sad from this second for the next moment?

The rock was a bit slippery, and it took me some effort to climb up. Standing on it, I realized that it was very flat, probably as big as half of the living room, of course I was referring to the huge and luxurious living room in Johnny’s house!

The rock was covered with moss, as if it were telling a story.

Standing on the rock, Uncle Johnny sighed with satisfaction. It felt like a dancer had found a satisfactory stage. I paid special attention to the strange red flower on the edge of the rock. It had simple petals, simple like a child’s sketch, but that didn’t hinder its beauty. It just looked a little unreal.

For a moment, I didn’t know what to do. Should I go in the water at this moment? I looked at Uncle Johnny habitually, but I didn’t expect to form a dependence on him during this period of time. It seems that I really am a very lazy guy, used to relying on elders. This feeling is very familiar, just like the time when I was with my master.

I couldn’t tell if I was being unintentional or intentional… I was just looking for that familiar warmth.

“For the time being, stay here. Whatever happens, do as I say.” Uncle Johnny didn’t disappoint me. He quickly provided the ‘reliance’. When he said this, he casually took a bag wrapped in plastic from the back of his jeans, took out a drawing from it, and handed it to Chengzhen next to him.

“Can you read it? You are Li’s disciples, go and finish this together!” As he spoke, Uncle Johnny took his machete, walked up to the small red flower, stopped, drew a line on the rock, and then said, “Two sentences, first, no matter what happens, those who should do their work will do it, and those who don’t will wait. Second, copy everything on that picture outside this line.”

At this point, a gentle look came into Mr. Johnny’s eyes, and he said in a low voice, “I don’t want to disturb her peace. My lovely Zia.”

Dya? I still didn’t ask anything, just as Uncle Johnny had judged, the tranquility was only temporary. After that, the water surface once again churned, and the ferocious creatures that had just gone down again surfaced, even more than before…

What was even more unsettling was that at the entrance to the deep pool, where the fog was particularly thick, the water was so turbulent. In fact, judging from the occasional figure that leapt out of the water, many ferocious creatures were rushing towards this deep pool.

They swam towards the rock and soon surrounded us. This is the real slaughter. If we can’t kill them no matter what we do, we’ll be trapped here or killed by them!

They guarded every place, turning this place into a complete island.

Even a few ferocious creatures were eager to try, and the huge figure leapt up from the surface of the deep pool, showing off its power.

I really want to say that this scene is very terrifying. The huge, hideous figure cuts a swath through the water… the psychological pressure it exerts is indescribable.

“In fact, Patel is not afraid of us killing these fish, right? Don’t forget what happened at the water inlet. The dead fish bodies, under control, almost killed Chengyi.” Chengxin suddenly looked at the water with some worry. In fact, letting us come here is not necessarily a sign of surrender. On the contrary, it smells more like a conspiracy. I don’t know why Uncle Johnny would take advantage of this.

But now, Master Johnny is just sitting five meters away from the little red flower, holding the necklace around his neck and softly humming a sad and melancholy song. The hard lines on his face have become soft and gentle at this moment.

“Don’t think about it too much. Just take a look at this. It’s really amazing.” Chengzhen spread out the drawing that Master Johnny had given her.

There was no doubt that it was a formation. Every line of the formation was strong and powerful. In the corner of the drawing, a word was written in a flying dragon and phoenix style—Li! This is the formation left by the master. I only glanced at it, and with my knowledge of formations, I understood what kind of formation it was. To put it simply, it was a fusion formation!

A formation that combines the spiritual power of everyone, but cleverly does not harm the soul… There seems to be something hidden in the middle, but unfortunately, not only I, even Chengzhen, who is supposedly very proficient in formations, cannot see it.

The things left behind by the master are indeed beyond our comprehension.

“What, is it difficult?” Uncle Johnny’s voice was very calm. Surrounded by ferocious beasts, only he could be so calm, right?

“No! After all, we’re just following the blueprint. The few key points are the layout methods passed down by our Li family, and we can still do it.” Although we don’t fully understand the full effect of this formation, we can still lay out this formation on this rock according to the blueprint.

Even the magic weapon for the final attack is no problem. Which of us doesn’t have some magic weapon passed down by the master?

So, Cheng Zhen answered Master Johnny cleanly!

“Then go ahead and do it.” Mr. Johnny’s voice was extremely calm and gentle. After arriving here, all of Mr. Johnny’s anxiety had completely disappeared. This change made me a little uneasy. Singh had planted a seed in my heart after all.

Since this is the case, we began to set up everything. However, this is not a quiet environment, and the presence under the water is obviously not a decoration.

At this moment, we both felt a powerful thought reverberating in the rock, telling us that there was something waiting for us underwater. No, it should be said that there was something waiting for me underwater!
