C3564 The Spring
... "I'm fine!" Dongfang Qingyu was speechless. He was going to die soon. How could he not know what had happened? If he died, did he think he would go home?
However, it also reflected the scariness of the Yellow River from the side. A few meters away, a stream of darkness flowed past. The unlucky ones were unlucky, but the people who were close to him were safe and sound.
"Look at the look of the master. He seems to be very haggard." Li Zhishui said.
"It's an old problem." Dongfang Qingyu didn't want to talk about the hidden flood. The hidden flood came and went without a trace. It was useless even if he said it, because there was no way to guard against it. Everything depended on luck. He asked, "How is Master Li's condition? Did you find the stone tablet?"
"Not yet!" Li Zhishui answered.
"Any clues?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"Not yet!" Li Zhishui answered.
"Then let's continue." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"Yes!" Li Zhishui didn't know if it was because he had been training for a long time, or because he had great talent and incredible physical strength. In a short period of time, it was the third time he had entered the water. It seemed like he still had some energy left.
After half an hour of rest, Dongfang Qingyu had already recovered. His face was pale because he was afraid of the darkness, not because he lacked physical strength. When he entered the water again, his heart was a little anxious. He was much more careful.
Fortunately, this time, he entered the water smoothly, except for killing a dozen tiger shrimps. The giant leeches, little turtles, the undercurrents, the whirlpools, and so on and so forth didn't appear. He revived the monster's corpse and helped search for clues. Then, he followed Li Zhishui.
Li Zhishui found the approximate range, but there was a small dot on the map. Actually, it was a large area that wanted to know the target. It was very difficult. Li Zhishui and Dongfang Qingyu knew that it was very difficult, so they were prepared to fight for a long time.
For two consecutive days, the two of them entered the water more than five times a day. Each time, the time varied from one to two hours. Sometimes, they would encounter danger. Occasionally, they would also be lucky and smooth, except for the fact that they had never found any clues about the stone tablet. Overall, it was still relatively stable.
In 'Azure Dragon City', he could find some weird things in the mud every day. However, they weren't worth much. To players, they weren't worth much. For historical researchers, they were worth a lot. Unfortunately, most of the researchers were poor and didn't have money. After they found out that there was something, the most they did was to seek karma, not to buy it with money.
These researchers were either professors from some school. Each of them had a lot of titles, and each of them was over 70 years old. Their beards and hair were all white. This group of people was sitting in City Lord's Mansion. Both Lin Qian'er and Wang Feiyan had a headache.
In the end, they had no choice but to give the items they obtained to the researchers. However, those items had no attributes and would never be given to them.
The group of old men were also people with good eyes. They accepted the items as soon as they saw fit.
There was no good news, but bad news came one after another. Those players who had followed him to Azure Dragon City to clear the mud... Whether it was for Love's power or money, it didn't matter. Because of their low strength and lack of protection, more than 200 people had been infected by the mutated influenza virus.
Among these people, 17 of them had not been injected with the antibody drug. One had to admit that they were brave enough to give up their lives for money. The rest of them were all players who had been injected with antibodies. This matter was very clear to the players... It wasn't that injecting antibodies wouldn't guarantee success, and they would still be infected by the mutated influenza virus. It could only be said that the probability was relatively low, but how low was it? It was hard to say.
Xuanwu City Group had sent 100,000 members, and only 14 people were infected with the mutated influenza virus. The members of the Xuanwu City Group had all been injected with antibodies. Thus, the experts came to a conclusion that the infection of the mutated influenza had a lot to do with strength... The stronger one was, the lower the probability of infection. The opposite was higher.
In addition, masks, protective gear, and so on had a certain effect on defending against the mutated influenza virus. The better your equipment, the stronger your defense. I advise every player that is active in Azure Dragon City. They had to wear masks and defensive equipment.
All of Yan Huang's Alchemists, Reverend, and alchemist were researching the mutated influenza virus, day and night, trying to find a way to solve it. However, this was obviously a big project, and no one had announced that it would succeed.
Black Tortoise City Corporation had a huge bounty on their heads. As long as someone developed a vaccine for the mutated influenza virus, no matter who it was, no matter who it was, they would be rewarded with 10,000 RMB.
This action had won a good reputation for Black Tortoise City Corporation. They were not divided into factions, and only research and development was in their eyes. Only innovation was a business with a conscience.
Every day, Wang Feiyan would report the major news to Dongfang Qingyu. Sometimes, Dongfang Qingyu would dive into the Yellow River. Since there was no communication, Wang Feiyan specially hired a female secretary for this. This female secretary did not need to do anything else. She only needed to send a message to the boss. Because to ensure that Dongfang Qingyu got the first news in time, the female secretary sometimes had to run to the Yellow River to find Dongfang Qingyu.
"Master!" Once again, he came out from the bottom of the river. Li Zhishui's expression was different from the one in front of him. It was one of shock, joy, and disbelief.
"Master Li!" Dongfang Qingyu's' Yin-Yang Heavenly Eye 'could not see through the bottom of the Yellow River, but through high technology, it could be determined that the assassin did not have any hostility.
"Found something." Li Zhishui's voice was trembling.
"What did you find?" Dongfang Qingyu held back the excitement in his heart.
"Found it!" Li Zhishui said.
"Are you sure?" Dongfang Qingyu felt that his breathing had stopped.
"About eighty to ninety percent." Li Zhishui did not finish his sentence, but his expression clearly stated that he would definitely confirm it.
"Can I bring it up?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"This official... I don't know how to describe it. Sir and this official will know when we go and take a look." Li Zhishui said.
"Sir Li, do you still have strength?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"Little Chen..." Before Li Zhishui could finish, he was interrupted by Dongfang Qingyu, "Master Li, let's take a thirty minute break and sharpen our knives without delaying the chopping process."
"Little Chen will follow master's orders." Li Zhishui also felt the fatigue in his body. After all, he was old, not twenty years ago.
Thirty minutes passed quickly. The two of them prepared and jumped into the water. Once they entered the water, Dongfang Qingyu sensed danger. A group of strange fish came out of nowhere and was aggressive.
The strange fish had shark-like sharp teeth and dark green scales. There were barbs on the outside of their scales. They looked very ferocious. They did not need to know the name or other information. Just by looking at their appearance, one could tell that these monsters were not to be trifled with.
Li Zhishui's combat strength was still alright, but for some reason... He never made a move in the water, as long as he discovered a monster. There was only one movement, which was to dodge. If he did not dodge in time... He would rather be bitten by the monster a few times than fight back.
Dongfang Qingyu had forgotten to ask Li Zhishui why he was unwilling to fight. This time, it was the same for Li Zhishui. He and Dongfang Qingyu found the strange fish almost at the same time. He changed direction by reflex. Avoiding the monster, Dongfang Qingyu chose to attack.
If he dodged, with his speed, he wouldn't be able to completely dodge. He would be attacked by three less fish. If he attacked... It would be safer. He had rich combat experience and had seen many monsters that he could not count. He could tell that monsters and flat-headed fish had similar characteristics at first glance.
"Water Explosion!"
"Water Explosion!!"
"Explode of the Bitter Water!"
...
As the strange fish swam, it suddenly trembled and its belly turned white. Looking at its health bar again, it had been emptied. When the corpse floated upwards, the items dropped down to the bottom of the river, and a large number of monster fish died. These strange fish that were close to Dongfang Qingyu died before they could even attack.
"Ghost Hand Vine!"
The Ghost Hand Vine appeared, and dozens of tentacles shot out with lightning speed. They accurately grabbed the corpse of the strange fish and the items that were sinking towards the bottom of the river. Dongfang Qingyu had killed quite a number of monsters under the Yellow River, so he was the only one who would drop items.
After killing the strange fish with great difficulty, another eye python appeared. It had the toxicity of a cobra and the size of a python. It was extremely terrifying.
Li Zhishui was still the same as before. When he sensed danger, he immediately ran away. However, Dongfang Qingyu could not escape. In fact, he took the initiative to meet it.
A man and a snake fought in the water. The python relied on its familiarity with the water and was extremely agile in the water. Its level was higher than Dongfang Qingyu's, and Dongfang Qingyu had many shortcomings. However, there were also advantages, which was that there were many people.
The sneak attack of the Nine Serenities Grass was a small matter. The thousands of revived pets were the nightmare of the eye pythons. They were all-pervasive and did not fear death. They surrounded the eye python and pulled out the scales of the eye pythons one by one.
The eye python wanted to attack Dongfang Qingyu several times, but it was blocked by the pet. The eye python was very angry, and it let out waves of hissing sounds. It was incomparably fierce, but unfortunately, it was outnumbered in the end, and it was killed by Dongfang Qingyu until it exhausted all of its energy.
"How long more..." Dongfang Qingyu suddenly shut his mouth. A whirlpool appeared about ten meters in front of him. At first, it was very small, but then it slowly became bigger. Li Zhishui was indeed experienced. He was the first person in the world to discover and escape.
The whirlpool was not the same. Not only would its range change, but its scale would also change. When Dongfang Qingyu saw the whirlpool moving towards him, he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly ran away.
After avoiding the whirlpool, Dongfang Qingyu swam in the water for a long time before he found Li Zhishui again. Li Zhishui stopped at the bottom of the river. There was no more sand. He pointed at the location of the aquatic plants for Dongfang Qingyu to see.
"Is it here?" Dongfang Qingyu made a hand gesture. Li Zhishui returned the affirmative hand gesture.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Dongfang Qingyu approached Li Zhishui and stopped half a meter away from him. This time, he could tell that something was wrong. The water plants were vertical. This went against common sense. All the water plants had collapsed because of the water. Only at this moment, the water plants were different from the others.
Suddenly, Dongfang Qingyu's eyes narrowed. Although the direction in which the aquatic plants grew was strange, however, the underground water of the aquatic plants gurgled with spring water. Dongfang Qingyu could not understand. The Yellow River water came from the sky. It did not come from the soil.
There was actually a spring in the roots of the aquatic plants. It was too rare.
The color of the aquatic plants was very similar to the surrounding silt. Li Zhishui had misjudged it at the beginning.
"Do you want to go down and take a look?" Li Zhishui made a hand gesture to ask. His face showed that he was eager to try, and he prepared to dive into the spring.
"Go down!" Dongfang Qingyu did not hesitate at all.
