Dragon Talisman

Chapter 30 Ambushed

The Fire Shark power is peculiar, it is a huge machine, but it is not propelled by steam, but has runes engraved with formations, plus some kind of jewel, so that between sailing, there is no great sound, really as light and fierce as a shark, even against the wind are as fast as a galloping horse.

The river is extremely wide, and now that the weather is cold, there are very few boats going around, so there is no fear of hitting other boats when traveling so fast.

the Fire Shark gradually left the capital, the beginning was a flat river, looking around, the canal are densely packed with towns, but after driving hundreds of miles, the population gradually deserted, the plains have also turned into hills, after a thousand miles, both sides of the canal are high mountains, the river is also a little narrower, the current is obviously very fast, roaring and roaring, the Fire Shark actually had some bumps.

In the midst of that high mountain, there was still the sound of an ape crying from time to time, and under the night it was a little more desolate and frightening.

“County Sheriff, it’s now twenty o’clock and the ship has reached Shizhou, do we find a place to rest ashore or do we move on? If we go on, there is danger in the black light if we go on.” Someone came to report again, this person’s body straight, like a javelin standing up, piercing the firmament, martial momentum sharp.

“What eh, it’s twenty o’clock.” Luo Baiyue pulled out her pocket watch and looked at it: “The emperor has issued a new 24 hourly order, you should study it well. When we return, I will reward you with a pocket watch. No need to dock, continue on, turn on the moonstone spotlights and make your way through the night.”

“Thank you County Sheriff.” The man knelt down in a row: “This Dao-nu will comply. Also, His Highness Nineteenth Lord left the room and went out on deck for air.”

“Go down.” Luo Baiyue puts on her clothes and also walks to the top deck of the big ship.

The deck is wide enough to accommodate hundreds of people without crowding, all forged steel, and there are thick iron railings on all sides to prevent people from falling over when it gets bumpy.

It’s just cold and windy, and standing on the deck can blow so hard that you can’t kick it, and if you’re a normal person, you might even be blown away.

Gu-Chensha, however, didn’t move a muscle, the wind blowing his clothes hungrily, looking at the inky mountains in the distance.

“Rumor has it that back then, Shizhou was a mountainous region that stretched for thousands of miles and was difficult for apes and monkeys to cross, so there was no such canal. After my father’s ascension to the throne, the mountains were suddenly split open to form this canal, which was then gradually widened to become an important waterway. This is simply a miracle, I can’t imagine how much prowess is needed. The most I could do with my current strength was to move ten thousand pounds of boulders. Ten thousand of me, spending hundreds of years, would not be able to open up such a huge canal in the mountains.” Gu-Chensha looked around at the knife-edge cliffs, and the deep rapids, and the wide river; it was hard to imagine that this was done by human power ten years ago.

He’d studied geography, and a decade or so ago the map here was one mountain connected to another, with no roads or bridges, let alone rivers.

He hadn’t been out of the capital since he was a child, but now he was out, and he was shocked along the way.

“The entire Shizhou can be described as a poor mountain, the past dynasties have been a hidden danger, in the mountains, countless cults, bandits, Jianghu characters entrenched in them, the army cannot encircle. Only this Skyseal Dynasty, the emperor with the supreme method, moving the mountains and turning them into mountains, rowing land into rivers, making the situation in Shizhou greatly improved, in the past to go to the border, you must bypass Shizhou, so that the army has to travel several thousand miles more, as for the other benefits, cannot be counted.” .Luo Baiyue also went on the deck, the sky was getting dark, the surrounding mountains were cascading, like a giant devil looking down on the river, plus the night wind was miserably cold, the ape cry was incessant, the horror of the mood was forced.

Gu-Chensha finds it very refreshing and different from the scenery of the capital, and he seems to have a deeper understanding of martial arts as he observes the mountains and rivers and landscapes.

It is better to read a thousand books than to travel a thousand miles.

Swish!

Between words, from the boat shot out a brilliant mane, spread out, illuminated the river white, no longer afraid of dark rush into the cliff or something.

It’s a moonstone spotlight and a Tiangong Institute contraption.

Just then, suddenly the night birds of the mountains on either side took flight, and numerous apes and monkeys, uttering frightful chirps, fled through the forest as if something terrible had happened.

And on the river illuminated by the moonstone spotlights, shadows appear floating and jumping in the water, rapidly approaching towards the Fire Shark.

“Enemy attack!” Even the best aboard the ship have noticed something’s wrong. Dang! Dang! Dang! Alarm bells are ringing, and the entire ship is expertly and methodically activated.

“Something that doesn’t know how to live.” Luo Baiyue had expected it, face as cold as frost.

“Who are these people? How dare you attack the admiral’s ship?” Gu-Chensha’s eyes were sharp, watching the shadows on the river, the mysterious man in the black fish skin water leaning, just emerging, and then sinking underwater, and then had reached the bottom of the Fire Shark boat.

This river has surging rapids and even dark current whirlpools at the bottom, even fish would be exhausted, let alone people. It’s basically impossible to survive a fall into the water here, and for these people to actually be able to dive between swims as if they’re on the ground, they’re either extremely talented or highly powerful. Or a combination of both.

Whoosh!

These people are near the big boat in the water, and actually gecko-like climbing aboard, agile and cold and scary.

The Fire Shark is slick around the edges and has no climbable objects, but those guys have hands equipped with suction cups and treaded up easily.

“These are barbarians, they are wearing the skin of a black dragonfish, this skin is tough enough to withstand knives and guns, in water it can increase speed and keep warm and waterproof.” Luo Baiyue’s eyes were contemptuous: “It should be an attack directed at me, that day at the Southern Mountain hunting ground, dozens of barbarians offered sacrifices to hook the spirit of the barbarian evil god and change into a demon, but I killed it, which is already blasphemous in the eyes of the barbarians. The evil god also realized that he must have sent down oracles in the temples of the barbarians, and whoever could kill me and make sacrifices would be rewarded by the evil god. Plus, I myself have attained the essence of the Ancient Son of Heaven’s ’Void’, which is itself an incredibly powerful sacrifice. If you capture me and sacrifice me, you will gain unimaginable riches, I fear, do you regret boarding my ship?”

“These barbarians are humanoid and beastly, you can’t sensitize them against them, you can only kill to stop killing. The first thing they do after capturing someone is to behead and sacrifice them, then eat the meat. I’m also trying to train my martial arts and enhance my experience in casting, it’s better to have barbarians coming.” Gu-Chensha spoke, and saw several shadows leap onto the deck and do a fierce beast dive.

Whizz...

Flickers of black lines as thin as mosquito whiskers were in sight.

“Damn, the Armor Breaking Mosquito Whisker Needle!” Luo Baiyue’s big sleeve waved, and all those black threads got involved. But then her sleeve smokes black and is actually corroded by the toxicity.

“The Armor Breaking Mosquito Whisker Needle!” Gu-Chensha was also clever enough to dodge with all her might, and those mosquito needles hit the deck, and the steel came out with a pungent smell, not to mention the flesh and blood.

The Armor Breaking Mosquito Whisker Needle is an extremely malevolent hidden weapon, mounted in an iron tube of machinery, sprayed out, in the blink of an eye can hit an enemy within a hundred paces, even armor cannot resist, there is corrosive poison on it, the slightest exposure to people will turn it into pus and blood. When the most mysterious sect in the Jiang Hu “the Qiaoshu Pavilion” Taboo Weapon.

“the Qiaoshu Pavilion” Destroyed by the imperial court, many valuable artisans were subdued and incorporated into the Tiangong Institute for research, but some important people escaped.

This information was documented in the royal family and even the princes were required to read it in class.

Whizz Whizz Whizz... More and more barbarians are climbing onto the deck, each barbarian expert has the Armor Breaking Mosquito Whisker Needle in their hands, shooting randomly at Luo Baiyue Gu-Chensha, and if they hit one of them, unless they cultivate the Dao Realm Third Transformation, Bronze Skin and Iron Bones, or die a certain death.

“Get the hell out of here!” Luo Baiyue speed evade that of the spikes too much that the naked eye can’t even catch it moving, then the Armor Breaking Mosquito Whisker Needle can’t even shoot her.

Bang bang!

With another roll of her big sleeve, three or five barbarian masters were struck with broken organs, fell into the water, and in the blink of an eye were washed away by the torrent and buried in the belly of a fish.

Gu-Chensha also knows that this is the real battle, in the Southern Mountain hunting and barbarian generals, although the fight is also thrilling, but the whole process is accompanied by royal experts, if really encountered danger, experts will not stand by and watch the prince injured and dead. But it’s different now. If you are hit by a mosquito needle, you will die without a funeral.

This thrill made his blood boil all over his body.

The Giant Spirit God works, moving mountains, turning over rivers, pouring oceans.

The three stances were struck without thinking, and as the wind whistled at Deck Mountain, the air currents became a whirlpool, making the man unsteady on his feet, and he approached the barbarian expert, his long arm probing out, catching his opponent’s face, and using his five fingers to hook inward.

Bang!

That barbarian expert’s head was scratched through like a rotten watermelon.

Gu-Chensha suddenly thought: “the barbarians are fierce and are the most evil of all, human-faced and beastly, and the Ancient Son of Heaven’s achievement is also to kill barbarians in order to Heavenly Sacrifice, can I try sacrifice now?”

In the present moment, his mind communicates the Heavenly Sacrifice table that Skyseal Sacrificial Edict personified in the depths of his mind.

Suddenly, under his claws, what appeared to be an orb of barbarian blood and soul was sucked into that cyanide space of the Heavenly Sacrifice table.

And the barbarian expert collapsed with a crash, as if he had been drained of all life essence and had become rotten wood.

Gu-Chensha, fearing that Luo Baiyue would become suspicious afterwards, kicked violently, and kicked this master down the river.

“Unexpectedly, Skyseal Sacrificial Edict still has this ability after changing into a Space Altar. I see, Skyseal Sacrificial Edict is the most powerful treasure of all time, how can it only have the ability to make sacrifices? After I got it, the reason why I couldn’t develop one of the abilities was that I didn’t have Son of Heaven qi. Only Son of Heaven, nourishing this talisman with Son of Heaven qi, can make this talisman gradually reveal the mysteries.” Gu-Chensha blesses the heart and already understands.

All Skyseal Sacrificial Edict needs is Son of Heaven qi.

Son of Heaven qi, the occult force that makes all beings bow down to you and do your bidding. This force is the rule.

Think about it, even if the emperor is dying on his sick bed, he can make the world bleed with a single command, put nine families to death, and bestow riches on others just with a single thought, what does he rely on? It is authority and rules and rituals, and authority and rules and rituals conceived to the utmost, meditated and gave birth to the Son of Heaven qi.

“I take the decree to sacrifice it, it’s always a drop in the bucket, I can’t unlock the true power of Skyseal Sacrificial Edict, the only way to do that is to become Emperor, call on the world, gather the power of all, and Son of Heaven qi will be endless. Do I have to take the throne?” Gu-Chensha came up with that thought and made himself scared.
