Chapter 336: Breathtaking
“Oh no, the beast king is mad!” Jiang Yuan shouted over to Lu Mingshu. When she didn’t receive any reply, she looked back to see Lu Mingshu standing at the boat’s bow, as if she did not hear the warning.
Even though she believed in Lu Mingsu’s skills, Jiang Yuan was still extremely worried about their safety. Miss Ji might not know that it has gone crazy! “Miss Ji! The king of beasts has gone crazy, its strength will go up three times compared to its usual, the stronger ones can even make it five times, this is not a joke!”
However, Lu Mingshu only turned around and glared at her. “I know!” Jiang Yuan wanted to say something, but Lu Mingshu had already held up her hand, warning Jiang Yuan to not make any comments. “Do not disturb me!”
Hearing her reply, Jiang Yuan nearly cursed. Luckily, she had already mentally prepared herself and seen how good Lu Mingshu was. She constantly reminded herself throughout the battle that if she made up her mind to trust Lu Mingshu, she should abide by her promise.
She let out a deep sigh and turned over to look at Yan Wugui, who was still as calm as always. Seeing him, Jiang Yuan felt more at ease and patted herself. ~ It’s okay, if anything bad happens, they will die alongside me!~
Lu Mingshu drove the boat and sped across the lake, trying to gain more information about the beast as she increased her speed.
If one could read her mind, they would be able to see many green colored lines turning red all of a sudden, with green as the road that Lu Mingshu can take and red as the ones that she cannot. The number of red-colored lines had increased, but she didn’t give up. ~no matter how many choices I am left with now, it’s not the time to give up.~
At the same time, another boat got nearer to the battle, killing all the water beast going after the boat or following behind the king of beasts.
Chu Zhengyan pouted when he saw this scene. “Qin jun has already made up his mind. So if Jiang Yuan manages to escape this attack, he will definitely be on her side.”
But the floating cloud gentleman did not respond and focused on the battle.
If Qin Jun chose to help in such a dangerous situation. He would be showing that he was putting his bet on Jiang Yuan. If Jiang Yuan escaped, why would he still join forces with them? For what would he be assisting Jiang Yuan then?
“Brother Yun, tell me, can they escape?”
Floating cloud gentlemen shook his head.
“No?”
“No,’ floating cloud gentlemen sounded unsure, “Unable to predict.”
Chu Zhengyan bit his lips and sighed dejectedly. ~Life is indeed unpredictable. I once thought that Jiang Yuan would suffer a huge loss even if the freezing spirit elders step in. But now, it seems like they are on the bright side and got the upper hand. I have not heard of such success stories when going up against the king of beasts, but what if they manage to do so? Since Qin Jun has placed his bet on her, the percentage of winning must be high or else he wouldn’t do so,
“Miss Ji, prince Qin has attacked.” Even though Lu Mingshu said to not disturb her, Jiang Yuan felt it was safer to do so; thus, she reminded her.
Lu Mingshu glanced over to see the Qin’s family boat nearby and nodded. “Prince Jiang, can you please request them to kill all the surrounding beasts and stay at least ten feet away from us?”
Jiang Yuan look at her in shock. “You mean....” She was glad that Qin Jun decided to help her, which means that he’s willing to join forces with them, and they would surely escape with his help. ~but Miss Ji....~
“Just do as I say!’
Immediately, Jiang Yuan used a tele-message and connected with Qin Jun.
After a while, she nodded. “Done.”
And the Qin family boat was now indeed ten feet away from them.
Lu Mingshu heaved a sigh of relief and erased the beasts’ data, which were swimming ten feet away from her.
It’s hard for outsiders to understand her method. And to them, putting strong people like Qin Jun ten feet away is suicidal. Like digging a hole for herself to jump in. But in fact, putting them ten feet away made Lu Mingshu’s life easier.
Data from real life is actually very complicated. One needs to update it constantly as many factors might change at any moment, even if it was something very minor. If Qin’s family members could help her tackle the beasts, which were swarming up to ten feet away, it would decrease her distraction.
On the other hand, as she did not know the Qin family members personally. It was impossible for her to control them, as it might backfire.
~ There’s too much I have to hide, but it’s fine just like this~
The king of beasts let out a roar, and bubbles started to surface on the lake as if it was boiling.
Lu Mingshu gritted her teeth and yelled. “Hold on!”
As soon as she finished, the boat sped up and took a turn in mid-air, speeding to the left. Many cultivators avoided their boat frantically as they sped past.
The king of beasts continued to dash after them, trying to smash them with its tail. Its scale turned bright red could be turned into knives, flying towards the trio while the beast continued to spit out water arrow.
And the boat they were on was suddenly tossed up to the sky and even did several somersaults right in the air.
Luckily, When the boat was about to land on its bow, Jiang yuan managed to stomp hard and keep the boat straight with soul energy.
The boat tossed at a fast speed and was thrown out of the water again. It landed in a split second but managed to avoid the knives made out of scales. However, the water arrows were so fast that they couldn’t avoid them. In an emergency, Lu Mingshu activated the boat’s defense, and the water arrows landed on the shield.
The water arrow and shield disappeared at the same time and manage to avoid the danger.
“Miss Ji, beware of the amount of energy you use.” Jiang Yan reminded her.”
The boat’s defense allowed one to take down one attack from the freezing spirit. Still, it used up quite a considerable amount of soul energy. It was good enough if one could activate it even twice.
“I know.” Lu Mingshu simply replied.
What Lu Mingshu was most worried about was not how much energy she has lost. This defense method indeed used up vast amounts of energy. But what Jiang Yuan was unaware of is that she had skills that allowed her to replenish her energy while battling.
~If I can control it well, I can activate it up to five times.~
There’s an increasing amount of boats getting nearer to the island, and this scene has gotten all their eyes fixed on the battle. Some tried to take the chance to pass through when the smaller beasts were being distracted, while some worried about their lives and were finding ways to get out of the formation. However, they knew by heart that it’s not possible and prayed that Jiang Yuan would succeed.
Some who knew that they would not pass the second round decided to just stand outside the formation and watch. This is not something that I’ll get to see every day. If I can’t take a place in this competition. I can still take this story!
So, now, a situation that had never once occurred arose. A boat being chased by numerous beasts and attacked by the king of beasts in the formation, while many boats stayed outside the formation to watch, cheer them on and even gave comments at times...
