【v113: The monster in the dark river】
As soon as Meng Liang's voice fell, his body had already started to move. He stepped heavily on the cliff, and his whole body shot towards the huge ice blocking the underground river like a cannonball!
All the power of high-level combat psychics exploded, and 80% of the energy was used, almost eight times that of ordinary high-level psychics!
The next moment, Meng Liang's fist and giant ice bombarded each other.
Boom! Boom!!
The deafening roar echoed throughout the river, and the surrounding cliffs also made sand and stones fall and rustle.
Fu Lingyun and the group behind him covered their ears, in the closed environment, such a shocking sound made everyone's faces tremble.
Meng Liang's body was hitting the giant ice and quickly turned back, and in the blink of an eye fell on the cliff, and stepped back several steps before he stabilized his body.
"Cough! Cough!"
Meng Liang covered his chest with one hand, and felt a sweetness in his throat and a trace of passionate blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Damn it! What a hard guy!"
Meng Liang looked up and stared at the huge ice in the distance with his bright eyes. Before, he had penetrated the ice cave that had penetrated more than a hundred meters deep on the ice surface and did not suffer much damage from the recoil. This time he was even slightly injured.
At this moment, a terrifying ice cave about twenty meters deep and about fifteen meters in diameter appeared in the middle of the giant ice blocking the river. Countless broken ice slid from above into the river, causing a sound of thumping sound.
"Uncle Meng, are you okay? How is the situation?" Fu Lingyun controlled his mental power and drifted to Meng Liang's side. All things had already been activated, and a stream of green energy emerged from his body, and then began to nourish Meng Liang's injured inner palace.
Meng Liang's attack just now also gave Fu Lingyun a bad premonition.
"I'm fine, a little injury." Meng Liang sighed slightly and said, "The situation is a bit tricky. This time the giant ice is probably at least more than ten kilometers."
"Ten kilometers?" Fu Lingyun was slightly shocked and asked quickly, "What should I do? How long will it take to open it?"
"It's not possible to open up? It's not feasible to dig a channel in the giant ice. It must be natural dissolution. According to the previous routine, it will probably take two or three months." Meng Liang said.
Fu Lingyun was stunned and said anxiously: "How can this work? Two or three months are nothing if it is normal, but now the critical moment when Mount Everest is suspected to be a relic in the battle, how can we spend here?"
"This matter has to be discussed for a long time, let's go back to the shallows first!"
"Okay, I'll carry you."
"No, this little injury is not in the way!"
Then, everyone returned to the shallow where they had rested from the huge ice block.
The faces of the group were a little heavy. After all, everyone had spent five days in this dark river. Although there was no danger, they knew nothing about what happened on the ice.
Meng Liang sat cross-legged on the smooth rock, breathing steadily, and called the man with broken fingers, along with Fu Lingyun and the other three.
"Now we are facing this difficult problem, what do you two think?" Meng Liang cast inquiring eyes to the two of them.
The man with broken fingers hesitated slightly and said first: "If the huge ice blockage reaches more than ten kilometers, it will take at least two months to get through. Moreover, as the water level of the underground river drops, those monsters will definitely come out again, and we will definitely have trouble at that time."
"Monster?" Fu Lingyun asked in confusion: "Brother Broken Finger, what monster are you talking about?"
"This monster is a water creature with a crocodile appearance. We don't know the specific name. They live in caves under the water of this underground river. Every time there is a long-term huge ice blocking of the underground river, as the water level in the lower reaches of the underground river gradually drops, the dense caves will appear above the water surface, and they will crawl out of the cave at that time!" explained the man with broken fingers.
The man with broken fingers and Meng Liang seemed to be a little afraid of these monsters. Fu Lingyun continued to ask: "What are the strengths of these monsters?"
The man with broken fingers then explained: "They are white, blue and black, among which white is the weakest, and their strength is equivalent to those who have just entered the psychic, while blue is equivalent to ordinary intermediate and intermediate psychic, and the last black is also the strongest. I have not encountered it yet, but the teacher has encountered it once."
So Fu Lingyun couldn't help but look at Meng Liang beside him again.
Meng Liang nodded and said, "These monsters have different colors and strengths. The depth of the caves they live in is also different. White is in the shallow water area, while black is in the deepest cave at the bottom of the river. I have seen that time, huge ice blocked hundreds of kilometers. For more than three years, the water level of the downstream river was also lowered to the extreme. The bottom of the river was exposed, and the black monsters were able to appear. In terms of strength, it should be comparable to ordinary high-level psychics!"
Fu Lingyun was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that there was such a powerful monster on this earth, with a strength comparable to that of a high-level psychic!
"But you can rest assured, I guess I won't encounter this time. In just two or three months, at most, the blue monster will appear." Meng Liang added.
"So that's the case." Fu Lingyun paused and said, "Apart from this terrible monster, we can't wait for time. Why don't we just return to the snowfield?"
"On the snow field..." Meng Liang hesitated for a moment and said, "The location we are now should be on the edge of Mount Everest. The thickness here is definitely kilometers, thousands of meters away from the ground. If you fall down from the top, it may be fine, but from bottom to top, it is more than twice as difficult."
The man with broken fingers on the side also added: "We have encountered this kind of thing before, and I have thought about opening up the upward passage in critical moments, but unfortunately it is difficult. The place we came down is the thinnest place we have been able to find over the years. If we want to open up a passage, we have to return the same way and take a few more days to open it."
Listening to the two of them, Fu Lingyun's brows couldn't help but frown. It seemed that the plan to go back was not feasible.
"My personal suggestion is to wait!" Meng Liang said.
The man with broken finger obviously agreed with Meng Liang's meaning and said, "Well, in the past, we helped destroy the giant ice, and combined with the upstream water impact, the time can be reduced by about half."
"But what about the monster in the water?" Fu Lingyun hesitated.
Meng Liang smiled and said, "Do you know what you lack the most now?"
"Me?" Fu Lingyun frowned in confusion.
"Yes, through the observations during this period, what you lack most now is not strength, but your opponent!"
Meng Liang paused and continued, "Your strength has improved very quickly, but your foundation is not solid. Last time, you were intercepted and killed the fifteen Americans and Japanese pirates on the Snow Valley. Are you very proud?"
Fu Lingyun had to admit that when he fought head-on to kill the fifteen Americans and Japanese pirates, he was indeed a little proud in his heart.
But now, hearing Meng Liang's questioning, he had to look at the other party silently and continue listening.
"You were simply using a ox knife to kill the chicken. Also, those enemies were already consumed a lot at that time. You simply rely on your abundant mental power to win with brute force, and finally almost fell into trouble. To be honest, you disappointed me a little."
"What you lack the most now is combat, using countless battles to make up for your unstable foundation, and the monsters that appear this time are undoubtedly a very good opportunity for you!"
"Any powerful psychic person has been tempered and no one can achieve it overnight, including you!"
Meng Liang's words were heavier than each sentence, as if a big hammer hit Fu Lingyun's heart.
Fu Lingyun had long noticed his flaws. He used washing dishes to exercise when he first had mental power, but that was just the familiarity at the beginning. Fundamentally speaking, it was not enough to allow him to fully master the power he had.
Speaking of battles, there have not been many times so far.
And this time, it was indeed an opportunity for Fu Lingyun, a happy opportunity to fight!
If you have not fully grasped your own strength, what can you do even if you reach Mount Everest? Even if you discover ruins and do not have enough strength to control them, you will still be delicious in front of you but can only see but not eat them.
Fu Lingyun slowly raised his head, and a strong fighting spirit flashed in his eyes, saying, "Uncle Meng, I understand what to do. I will definitely seize the opportunity this time!"
Soon, the mercenaries of Death made a decision to temporarily camp on this shallow with an area of about 500 square meters.
As for Mike and others, there was no objection. After all, the mercenaries of Death did not leave, and they had no chance to leave.
On that day, the mercenaries of the Death God began to bombard the Giant Bing, and the twelve people, including Meng Liang, and four of them took turns to carry out the team.
With Meng Liang's experience last time, everyone was careful and launched an attack within the scope of their own body's tolerance.
When the first round of attacks ended, the gap also became apparent. Meng Liang's attack could cause the giant ice to appear in a deep pit about twenty meters deep and fifteen meters in diameter. The other mercenaries of the Death God's mercenary could only create a pit that was less than one-tenth of Meng Liang's.
Although their destruction is just a drop in the bucket compared to the huge giant ice, ants gnawing on elephants will inevitably be effective over time.
Moreover, there is another function to destroy the giant ice, that is, after the giant ice breaks and falls into the underground river, it can slow down the water level drop. Although the effect is very small, it is much better than not doing it.
At the same time, Fu Lingyun entered retreat and began to concentrate on studying the experiences that Meng Liang taught him in the past few days, and explored the perfect way to use his power alone.
Time passed quickly, and the downstream dark river blocked by huge ice was still flowing towards the downstream, and the water level began to fall day by day.
On the third day of the huge ice blockage, Fu Lingyun was sitting cross-legged on the rock, and a wisp of mental power was hovering beside Fu Lingyun, in an almost perfect state, making this mental power surprisingly solidified.
At this moment, the area of the shallow has more than doubled due to the drop in water level.
At this moment, the edge of the water level line on the river bank, you can see a cave with a diameter of about one meter below through the water surface!
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Immediately afterwards, a wave of water suddenly emerged from the originally peaceful dark river.
At the same time, Fu Lingyun's closed eyes suddenly opened, and a ray of silver-red light burst out faintly.
"What should be coming is coming eventually!"
