BXBX NOVEL Chapter 112 - 112 Risk and Opportunity Coexist
Huo Qiyun let out a heart-wrenching roar, but what answered him was only the sound of the extremely corrosive black water.
Countless drops of black water fell like raindrops. Huo Qiyun didn’t have time to think too much. He immediately grabbed Lin Ran’s clothes and shook them. However, in just a few seconds, the entire clothes were corroded until only a few pieces of cloth were left.
The burning pain came from all over his body. Huo Qiyun quickly tore off his clothes and continued to shake them. At the same time, he took a few steps back and stopped at the edge of the stone platform.
Countless black water droplets fell down. The burning pain made Huo Qiyun go crazy. He could even hear his skin sizzle due to corrosion.
“I almost died this time because that stupid guy…”
Huo Qiyun cursed under his breath. The pain made him fall to the ground uncontrollably. In front of him were countless black water droplets that reflected cold light.
Suddenly, the entire cave was illuminated by dazzling flames!
The sudden light made Huo Qiyun subconsciously close his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Lin Ran flying in the air on the Yin-Yang Sword!
Water curtains exploded one after another behind Lin Ran. At the same time, Lin Ran’s roar came from afar. “Don’t just stand there! Move!”
“He’s not dead!”
Huo Qiyun was overjoyed. His heart, which had already fallen into despair, suddenly surged with endless power!
“Hold on!”
Huo Qiyun roared back and quickly looked around to find the edge closest to the shore.
The internal force in his body that had been dormant for a long time erupted with a bang. Endless power began to surge. Then, Huo Qiyun roared and jumped towards the shore hundreds of feet away!
“Don’t jump! Go back!”
Lin Ran’s roar was heard. Before Huo Qiyun could react, he saw the water under his feet explode!
At this moment, Huo Qiyun had just jumped up and was less than five feet above the water. It was so close that even Lin Ran might not be able to dodge!
As he thought about how he would fall into the water and be melted by the black water until not a bone was left, Huo Qiyun’s face turned as pale as paper.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment.
Huo Qiyun watched as the water curtain slowly surged up like glue. White smoke began to emit from the soles of his shoes. Then, more and more white smoke appeared, and he began to feel a burning pain from his feet.
“Why in the world would I believe him just now?”
This was the last thought that flashed through Huo Qiyun’s mind. Then, his vision blurred, and the water curtain under his feet turned into a solid ground. A majestic violent sword intent swept over, swallowing him like a hungry ferocious beast.
However, this feeling only lasted for a moment. After that, the violent sword intent disappeared, revealing Lin Ran’s face in front of Huo Qiyun.
When Huo Qiyun came back to his senses, he realized that he was wrapped in Lin Ran’s sword energy cage.
“What’s going on?”
Huo Qiyun asked in confusion. He turned around and looked at his position. It was more than 300 feet away from the pool of black water. “How did I get here in an instant?”
“I activated my Mystic Sword Technique, but only those who have reached the Senior Grandmaster Realm can learn it, so I can’t teach you now.”
Lin Ran explained casually, then complained, “What was wrong with you just now? I told you not to jump. Why did you still jump out? If I wasn’t fast enough, you would be gone!”
“You still have the cheek to say that!”
Huo Qiyun glared at him and said angrily, “You only told me not to jump when I was already in the air. Do you think it’s so easy to retract the internal force once it’s activated…”
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Ran suddenly stabbed the Dragon Roar Sword a few times, and the sword energy cage around the two of them started flickering as if it was about to be dispelled.
After the sword energy cage stabilized again, Lin Ran shrugged and said casually, “Isn’t this very easy?”
Huo Qiyun gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. After a pause, he changed the topic and asked, “What happened just now? Didn’t you already lure that thing away?”
Lin Ran looked embarrassed. “I made a wrong judgment.”
“What do you mean?”
Huo Qiyun was confused. “There’s more than one thing in the water?”
“There is only one, but…”
Lin Ran stammered as if he didn’t know how to describe it. After a moment, he held the hilt of his sword and said, “See for yourself.”
Hundreds of fire attribute sword energy spiraled down from the sky, illuminating the entire space. Huo Qiyun turned around and saw a shocking scene—
As the fire attribute sword energy approached, the entire pitch-black water began to surge violently. The tens of thousands of weapons inserted in it seemed to resonate and vibrate violently, creating sharp and ear-piercing cries.
Huo Qiyun was so shocked by this scene that he was speechless. After half a minute, he said in surprise, “Your fire attribute sword energy is already so powerful? It can even stir the water.”
“Are you blind or stupid?”
Lin Ran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he pointed at the black pool not far away. “Can’t you tell? We always thought that there was something in the water, but in fact, this water itself is that thing!”
“What?!”
Huo Qiyun exclaimed and looked over again. He realized that it was indeed a little strange.
Although the entire water was surging, the extent was different.
Where the fire elemental sword energy was slightly higher, the water was relatively calm. Where the fire elemental sword energy was lower, the water was surging violently.
It was as if this black water was a naughty child reaching out to touch the fire attribute sword energy, but because of the scorching heat, it did not dare to get closer.
This discovery surprised Huo Qiyun, but at the same time, he was puzzled. “It doesn’t matter to us if this water is alive. We’re already ashore. You should hurry up and get out.”
“There’s no hurry. Since this thing is alive, I have a bold idea.”
Lin Ran squatted at the edge of the sword energy cage. He stared straight at the pool of black water and couldn’t help but smile.
Seeing Lin Ran’s expression, Huo Qiyun immediately had an ominous feeling.
This was not the first time Huo Qiyun had seen this expression. In the past, every time he saw this expression, it meant that Lin Ran had a rather unreliable idea.
As expected.
Less than a second after Lin Ran finished speaking, a gap as wide as a person suddenly opened in the sword energy cage in front of him.
Before Huo Qiyun could react, Lin Ran had already stood up and walked out of the sword energy cage. Then, he jumped into the black water pool without hesitation!
