Chapter 425: Each Showing His Divine Senses, Poisonous Hitching Post Making Contributions (2/2)
Yes, pretend to be dead, the real deal.
Forced to drive his Internal Qi, Zhou Bao began to carry out the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill. This secret skill could keep the user hidden, so it was certainly great to use it for pretending to be dead. Once it was launched, all Zhou Bao's spirit was gone. His body, though still there, was indistinguishable from a non-living thing.
Yes, a non-living thing. He was just like a dead wood floating in the deep sea. The most wonderful thing was that due to insufficient Real Essence, his operation of the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill was not fluent, which made Lan Shui'er believe that he had been struggling desperately before he died a while later.
”He should be really dead this time, without a bit of spirit. But man has always been cunning. Maybe he knows how to hold his breath. I must be careful!” Hiding in the dark, Lan Shui'er could feel that Zhou Bao was dead. She forcibly resisted the impulse to eat him. Instead, she raised her hand and released a colorful water snake.
The snake, about 70 feet long and huge, was speedy in the deep sea and soon swam to Zhou Bao's side. After circling him several times, it stopped beside him and opened its bloody mouth.
This water snake was very big, unlike Zhou Bao who was about the size of an ordinary person. It could swallow him whole in one mouth. Most of all, the snake's mouth was covered with fine, sharp teeth like sharp swords. With one bite, Zhou Bao might be ripped to filets as small as the gap between its teeth.
”Tricky woman!” Unable to continue pretending, Zhou Bao scolded in a low voice. With a fiery flash of red light between his eyebrows, a streak of sharp Sword Qi shot out, piercing the snake's head, and instantly annihilating its spirit.
”So it is, man is cunning!” Seeing this, Lan Shui'er became sullen abruptly and felt fortunate that she had not rushed forward. But her joy did not last long because another streak of Sword Qi came to her hiding place.
She revealed her location when she released the water snake, and Zhou Bao found the trail.
Overwhelming killing intents broke through the water and came to Lan Shui'er. Not daring to take it, she swam thousands of feet in a flash after a shake, as if the huge pressure under water did not exist.
Zhou Bao did not pursue but pulled the corner of his mouth and started his Real Essence suddenly, launching the Three Realms Division after Lan Shui'er's dodge of his Sword Qi.
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
”Fu*k!” Zhou Bao cursed. It was his first time to launch the Three Realms Division in water. Moreover, it was in such a deep sea where it was more difficult to use this special technique than on land. Zhou Bao only felt the pressure on his body increased by a dozen times, crushing his bones by half. Such expense shifted him about two kilometers up. Then the pressure precipitously dropped. But Zhou Bao knew that it was not enough, so he launched the Three Realms Division again as he grit his teeth. The pressure was not as great as it was last time, but it still crushed several of his bones.
After more than half of the bones were crushed, Zhou Bao finally saw the light, and the pressure around him was reduced.
Zhou Bao sighed with relief, but it was a little too early.
The launch of two successive Three Realms Division in the deep sea caused him to break most of his bones and exhausted the little bit of Real Essence he just accumulated. He could no longer launch it but could only swim by himself. However, he would pull the crushed bones once he moves. How could he swim?
At the same time, Lan Shui'er recovered. She was a monster in water. Initially, she was startled by Zhou Bao's disappearance. Then she realized that this should be a way to hollow-travel, and salivated at it. Zhou Bao's value in her eyes soared again. She certainly would not let him escape.
The distance of a few dozen kilometers in the sea was just a piece of cake to Lan Shui'er. In a moment, she swam above Zhou Bao. Then, she hit the waters very hard and a huge pressure pushed Zhou Bao back into the deep waters.
This time, Zhou Bao got an opportunity, because at this point, he had secretly started his Fiery Eyes and firmly locked Lan Shui'er's position. In the moment of her action, Zhou Bao gently lifted his finger, and a little green light appeared in front of her and shot directly into her body.
It was the Poisonous Hitching Post!
The Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi worked incredibly well, but Zhou Bao had just mastered its secrets and was not proficient. He needed time to release it in this deep sea. Although it could happen in just a blink of an eye, Lan Shui'er who was on the alert would have enough time to hide. But the Poisonous Hitching Post was different. Zhou Bao had reached the Advanced Level at this Divine Sense of Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion.
By the time Green Spirit left Wuyang Region for the Snow Mountain Great Wheel Temple, he had told Zhou Bao in detail the method of refining the Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion and the way to take its Natal Power, and Zhou Bao was naturally happy to accept it.
Owning to the Advanced Level of the Poisonous Hitching Post, its launching did not take too long, all it needed was a thought. Lan Shui'er was wary of his Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi, but she did not expect him to have such a virtueless Divine Sense.
