Chapter 682 Going upstream
After Lin Wangshu's magic fell on him, Fu Qingzhou felt a strange and uncomfortable feeling.

If I had to describe it...it's dry.

It feels like there is no moisture left on my skin, it is extremely dry.

"Do you feel dry and uncomfortable?"

Lin Wangshu smiled at him: "It's not strange, you will get used to it soon."

Hua Xiaolan had experienced this water-avoiding spell before when she was in the Black Mountain Islands. She urged him, "Hurry up. It's more than 200 miles from here to the depth of the tiankeng. We can't delay any longer."

After saying that, she took the lead and crawled into the small narrow opening.

Fu Qingzhou and Lin Wangshu looked at each other, nodded slightly, and followed.

This is a very narrow and deep natural tunnel, with knee-deep spring water below and uneven stalagmites above. The three people had to bend down and lower their heads to walk through it, which was very difficult.

The black bone fish swam around them but showed no intention of attacking.

"It seems that after Sect Leader Lin's water-repelling technique has isolated us from the Yin Spring Water, the black bone fish will not attack us anymore."

Fu Qingzhou said in a deep voice: "The senses of these black bone fish are most likely connected to the Yinquan water - this experience may be transferred to the demons. Although they can already leave the Yinquan, they are most likely still connected to this water."

"These are not the main points." Hua Xiaolan said impatiently, "We are walking too slowly here! It's more than 200 miles, I'm afraid it will take us a day and a night to get there..."

"Leave it to me."

Lin Wangshu said calmly: "Let's dive into the water. I can ensure that you don't touch the Yinquan water and swim upstream quickly."

Fu Qingzhou was a little worried: "But we can't breathe in and out to recover here. If you, Master Lin, take us on such a long journey again, we will be exhausted, right?"

"Haha, the Cave Heaven Realm is not as fragile as you think."

Lin Wangshu smiled and said, “Although I am good at controlling water, every cultivator in the Cave Heaven Realm has a body at the ninth level of the Martial Acupoint Realm.”

Fu Qingzhou blinked his eyes and said, "Master Lin, what you mean is that if you walk 200 miles by water like this, your true energy will really be exhausted, right?"

"Yes."

Lin Wangshu responded calmly: "But the current situation is urgent. If we continue to walk slowly like this, it will be too late."

"But..." Hua Xiaolan was also a little worried: "If you use up all your energy, something might happen later..."

"So be it."

Fu Qingzhou interrupted her: "If anything really happens, we can only rely on our own abilities."

"..."

Hua Xiaolan was silent for a moment, then raised her lips and said, "That makes sense. There's no need to be so cautious. Then, Sect Master Lin, I'll leave it to you."

Lin Wangshu smiled and said, "It's okay. Just lie down in the water. Remember, it's best to let the water completely submerge you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Xiaolan was the first to lie down, and soon she was completely submerged in the water.

Before Fu Qingzhou could squat down, she suddenly splashed out like a swordfish, creating a large wave of water and suddenly disappeared!

"Oh my god, that's awesome!"

Fu Qingzhou was shocked.

His own experience was similar. After he lay down in the water, he suddenly felt the water surging around him. Then a force pushed him violently from behind, and he rushed forward like an arrow.

Dark black water splashed continuously before my eyes, but not a single drop of water could touch my body. This feeling was very strange.

The speed of advancing in the water at this time was even faster than that of Lin Wangshu's previous boat. In this way, two hundred miles would only take a quarter of an hour...

As soon as Fu Qingzhou had this thought, his body suddenly shook and he was "blown" out of the water!

The waves in front of him suddenly parted, and the first thing he saw was Hua Xiaolan, who was flying in the air like him.

Then he immediately discovered that he was no longer in that narrow waterway!

His pupils moved slightly, taking in everything around him. This was a medium-sized underground cave... Of course, it was not the one he had seen in his dream before. This place was obviously not far from the ground, and there were several medium-sized holes on the top of the cave. The sunlight shone through them and shone on the dark spring water below that gathered into a pond.

In the middle of the small pond, Lin Wangshu stood there, with water columns around him like dragons, bombarding forward!

In front of him, a huge and strange black shadow was rolling.

It is the same as those evil monkeys and apes, with a completely black body and unclear face, but what makes it different from those evil monsters is... it is difficult to tell what it looks like.

It was like a ball of plasticine without a fixed shape. Judging from its size, it should be as big as a two-story restaurant, but it sometimes stretched out and sometimes shrunk into a ball. Although it would be dispersed by Lin Wangshu's water dragon, it could quickly gather into a ball again.

If Fu Qingzhou were to describe it with something he knew, it would be...

Slime?
Obviously, when Lin Wangshu was riding the water with Fu Qingzhou and Hua Xiaolan, he suddenly found a huge monster blocking the way ahead, so he threw them both away and went forward to meet the enemy.

Moreover, it never moved from its position, guarding a small hole that only one person could pass through.

"We can't let Sect Leader Lin fight alone."

Before Fu Qingzhou could speak, Hua Xiaolan said in a deep voice: "Go and help!"

After saying this, she formed some strange and complicated hand seals with her hands in front of her chest.

As her spirit surged, a faint light suddenly appeared behind her, and a pair of butterfly wings that seemed real and illusory slowly grew out. They seemed to be condensed from starlight and had no substance. When a gust of wind blew, the butterfly wings were like shadows in the water, with slight ripples.

Not only that, a small, blue frog emerged from her shoulder.

The butterfly flapped its wings slightly, stopped its backward momentum, and began to glide towards the center of the pond.

Fu Qingzhou rolled his eyes helplessly.

He doesn't have the ability to hover in the air...

He could only wait until he was thrown to the side of the cave wall, then he turned around, kicked the wall, drew out his long knife, and then used the force to kill the "slime".

This monster's fighting power is actually not very high, and its reaction is slow. After fighting for a long time, it failed to hurt the three people. Its powerful feature is that it is "immortal".

Even Lin Wangshu's cave-heaven realm attack could not really hurt it, and even if its body was broken apart, it could still recover...

Hua Xiaolan's Ice Orchid Arrow Frog can freeze part of the monster's body, and then Fu Qingzhou can chop it into pieces with his sword. But even so, those body parts that fall into the water and thaw will eventually return to it.

"This won't work!"

The three of them took a few steps back, and Fu Qingzhou panted and said, "We can't hit this thing at all. If we keep hitting it like this, we'll be exhausted first!"

"Lin, Sect Leader Lin."

Hua Xiaolan's face turned extremely pale, and her breathing became abnormally loud. It was obvious that she had exerted too much force and was having an attack again: "We, we are still so far away from the tiankeng..."

"Not far away. Do you see the cave behind the monster?"

Lin Wangshu said in a deep voice: "After passing that cave, we should be able to arrive soon. I can feel the strong evil aura coming from that side...but this thing seems to be guarding the gate, so it is really difficult to pass through."

"Then let's not confront it head-on."

Fu Qingzhou said slowly: "Save some energy. If nothing unexpected happens, the helpers I called will be here soon."

"Help?" Hua Xiaolan and Lin Wangshu were both slightly stunned.

Fu Qingzhou was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps hitting water from the other side of the cave.

The footsteps were clearly hesitant, and he walked slowly, stepping shallowly and deeply in the Yinquan water, but it seemed that no black-bone fish bothered him.

Soon, the voice came closer, and then a shout was heard.

"Master Fu...is that you?"

This is Rong Yu's voice.
