Chapter 78: The Gray-Eyed Man

Hearing this sound, I instinctively stopped, and the few cultivators who were about to get off the boat also stopped, looking at Lin Jianguo with some doubt.

It’s no wonder they were surprised. In this strange place, any hint of danger will make people paranoid… Didn’t I stop walking too?

“Why are they here?” Lin Jianguo frowned. Judging from his heavy tone, this time it was probably not a good presence.

I don’t know what it is either. Under the drumming, there was a loud noise of people… I can only judge from this that a group of people have come, but why would a simple group of people make Lin Jianguo’s tone so heavy?

“You’d better cooperate. If you can’t resist, run separately.” Lin Jianguo said, “I think it’s because of my presence that Lin Jianguo said this to remind everyone.

What else could I do at this point? Lin Jianguo was clearly telling me that this matter could not be resolved peacefully, so I had to fight.

I looked around and saw that these beings were all from the dense forest. In this situation, the best thing to do was to use the art of fire to block them. I did as I said, and I started to step on the boat and pinch the hand movements… On the contrary, the other people kept asking Lin Jianguo to leave the place by boat.

But Lin Jianguo remained silent, obviously having some reservations. He was not free to act, and only at the end, when he was urged to hurry, did he reply, “You’d better hurry. None of the beings here are easy to deal with. If you still want to live,

“If you don’t leave here by boat, I won’t be polite.” Finally, a cultivator with a relatively deep mind challenged Lin Jianguo.

After all, cultivators can sense each other. Everyone knows that Lin Jianguo is not a cultivator. Before, he had to act low-key on someone else’s turf, but now, in the face of an inexplicable crisis, he naturally revealed his true colors.

I’m afraid only people like this who are ruthless will be deceived into coming to a place like this.

“Don’t worry about me, just continue your spell.” Under these circumstances, Lin Jianguo reminded me, probably realizing that I was going to interrupt the spell to save him.

I closed my eyes and didn’t know what was happening. I only felt a violent wave of the boat, then a heavy object falling onto the deck of the boat, and then the sound of the cultivator screaming.

In such a turbulent environment, the steps I took were almost disrupted, but to my surprise and relief, the power of communication between heaven and earth was much easier here than in the outside world. It could be said that only half the power was needed to achieve the same effect.

So while the magic was almost interrupted, the power I had communicated had not yet dissipated.

“Please, I know I was wrong. Let me go?” At this time, the voice of the screaming cultivator sounded in my ears again, but the voice was strange, as if it came from the sky.

“You’d better hurry up and do it. Don’t blame me for not warning you.” Lin Jianguo ignored the cultivator and hurriedly urged him on.

At this time, I had already begun to move my hands in a certain way, and the familiar heat from the fire-summoning technique began to fluctuate in the air. At the same time, I once again woke up and felt from this fluctuation that the effect of the magic technique here was a little stronger than outside. If the fire-summoning technique could be successfully performed, I was afraid that it would not be as simple as just one “fire dragon.”

At the same time, I felt several other fluctuations of energy in the air, which should be the other cultivators finally making their move… Judging from the environment here, we are not without a chance of winning.

“These guys are really despicable and vicious. Chengyi, don’t hold back when you fight.” Lin Jianguo shouted at me. He probably didn’t know that when casting spells, it was impossible to receive everything from the outside world. I just heard it instinctively.

However, the next moment, with the completion of the hand gestures and incantations, all the heat gathered together, and only when I made the final hand gesture would the fire-starting technique be completely completed… I had already detached myself from that state of contemplation, and I immediately understood what Lin Jianguo meant, that there would be no mercy.

As long as I wait for those beings to appear, my unspoken fire-starting technique will completely erupt.

“Put me down, please…” Because I was too focused, I forgot what had just happened. At this time, the cultivator’s scream reminded me of what had happened. I subconsciously looked back, and the power of heaven and earth that I had gathered with my hand gestures almost escaped.

Because I saw a huge head appear about three meters above me, and the cultivator was being held in the air by this head. Or perhaps Lin Jianguo didn’t want him to die, so what he was holding was just his clothes.

But I swear I have never seen such a monster before. The huge head was slimy and had the outline of a snake, but it was actually more like a fish, or a catfish? I can’t describe it at all.

Its neck was very long, which is why it could hold the cultivator up three meters in the air… As for what was underneath the neck, I had no idea.

A large amount of mucus escaped from its mouth, and occasionally a drop would fall onto the boat. From its cold and greedy eyes, it clearly wanted to swallow the cultivator, but it had been holding back.

I can’t describe the thrill and the immense pressure… Lin Jianguo said to me, “It’s been following us under the boat. Otherwise, how could I have escorted countless cultivators? I told you that there are many water monsters in the Yellow River, and this one is also… Chengyi, pay attention…”

Lin Jianguo’s words were interrupted by a sudden change. I turned my head numbly, unable to imagine that such a being was hidden beneath the blood vessel I was riding on.

However, the moment I turned my head, I was even more shocked. I had to change my hand gestures several times in a row to calm myself down!

Gray-eyed people! It was them. I was not mistaken. In the cave under the Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain, we investigated the memories of several ghosts and saw the gray-eyed people in those memories.

A midget-like figure, cold and ruthless gray eyes, and no other major differences from humans! At that time, Xiao Chengqian wanted to tell me about the gray-eyed people, but because of various subsequent events, I had already forgotten about it. I never thought that I would see the existence of the gray-eyed people here!

But I’ve never heard of them. How did Xiao Chengqian know about them? Thinking about his birth, I was a little dazed…

But at this moment, Lin Jianguo loudly reminded me again, “Chen Chengyi, hurry up, don’t show mercy! They are the embodiment of viciousness, cruelty, and cruelty. Killing one is doing God’s work. Hurry up, or it will be too late when their great witch rushes out.”

Is that true? In fact, I have never personally killed anyone. Are gray-eyed people considered human?

I hesitated for a moment… But the dozen or so gray-eyed people who had already rushed out of the forest saw us and suddenly began to shout excitedly. They were dressed like primitive people in documentaries filmed by humans, with strange totems painted on their bodies, looking particularly ferocious.

Just a moment of hesitation, and suddenly, “Peng,” “Peng,” “Peng,” a weapon called a stone spear with a stone tied to it appeared on the deck… The water monster, who was holding the cultivator, roared angrily, “Dong,” and threw the cultivator down, roaring at the gray-eyed people.

It was like a loud roar, and it made my ears tingle!

This happened in an instant. I was just glad that the gray-eyed man was so short, otherwise those stone spears would have really hit us. In a world without heat weapons, there is no doubt about their lethality!

I couldn’t hesitate any longer, so I closed my eyes and pressed the last hand seal.

A muffled boom, the gathering of heat, and a flame appeared out of nowhere, burning up the shore not far from us, and gradually spreading, forming a huge fire dragon…

This is the power of magic here!

Because it was aimed at the gray-eyed people, the fire spread to them at an extremely fast speed… The gray-eyed people began to scream in a language I didn’t understand, and their eyes looked at us with even more anger and hatred!

I felt a strange sense of fear.
