Chapter 039 Abandoning Oneself and Reaching the Shore
"Damn it! Run!"
Water escape can only be used to travel through water. Li Yue does not know earth escape. When he reached the shore, he revealed himself and went ashore. He could only run away on two legs.
Clutching his waist wound, he ran forward desperately, listening to the approaching thunder behind him, his heart burning with anxiety, and beads of cold sweat covering his forehead.
If he is caught, his life will be in danger.
In his panic and anxiety, he was also filled with regret, wishing he had gotten ashore and escaped sooner.
Now that things have come to this, it's too late for regrets.
"You're still causing trouble! It's all your fault!"
The golden lotus seed within her body stirred again, constantly surging forth desires. The farther she was from the Tongtian River, or rather, the farther she was from the other golden lotus seeds, the stronger these desires became.
Li Yue cursed under his breath, vaguely realizing that his irrationality might be due to the influence of the golden lotus seed.
The golden lotus seeds that everyone was fighting over turned out to be a scourge.
But thinking about these things now is useless; the most important thing is how to escape.
On land, he probably couldn't outrun Little Yellow Dragon.
The approaching rumble behind them was not real thunder; the dragon came from the clouds and the tiger from the wind. Rather, it was the divine power emanating from the Little Yellow Dragon as it manifested its true form.
Could it be that turning back to the Tongtian River and using the water escape technique is the only way to outrun the little yellow dragon?
But I'm afraid that won't work either.
Not to mention that their escape route has been blocked by Xiao Huanglong and his group, even if they could escape back to Tongtian River, they don't know what kind of magic Xiao Huanglong and his group used, but it seems they can track and locate them.
Otherwise, how would we know where he landed and why we have been relentlessly pursuing him?
"What are we going to do? We're doomed, we're doomed..."
The world stretched out before him, but Li Yue had nowhere to run.
"Why not abandon this physical body!"
Just when Li Yue was at his wit's end, a voice suddenly came.
"……who!"
Li Yue suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked around warily, but there was no one there.
"Abandoning the physical body offers a glimmer of hope!"
The sound came again, but it was hard to tell where or how far away it was.
"Who are you?!"
As Li Yue searched around, he asked another question.
No one answered this time.
Boom! Boom!
The thunder behind them grew clearer, indicating that they were less than ten miles away and that Little Yellow Dragon and his companions would arrive in an instant.
A decision must be made quickly.
"Abandoning the physical body..."
Li Yue suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and stomped his foot.
Whoosh!
Using the method of night travel, the soul escapes from the body and flies away into the distance, riding the wind and controlling the air.
Boom!
The next moment, a yellow dragon descended from the sky and transformed into a man in a yellow shirt.
The Crimson Blood King and the others also transformed into human form and followed him around.
"Dead?"
Looking at the eight-foot-long red-eyed golden-scaled carp on the ground, Shrimp said suspiciously and couldn't help but look at Crimson Blood King.
Does this guy have poison in his teeth?
"He's not dead; his soul has simply wandered away."
Little Yellow Dragon opened its mouth, looked around, but did not see Li Yue. Then it looked at Crimson Blood King.
"My bloodline tracking requires blood. Since he has sacrificed his flesh and blood here, this is the only place I can track him."
The Crimson Blood King gave a half-smile, indicating that he was powerless to do anything about it.
"Are we just going to let him get away like this?!"
Swallowing Whale stared wide-eyed and said with considerable indignation.
He regretted it as soon as he said it, fearing that the River God would take his anger out on him again.
"Escape? That's just courting death."
Little Yellow Dragon snorted lightly, his face showing disdain.
"He's only in the Transformation stage, and hasn't yet cultivated his primordial spirit. At night, his soul can still leave his body, but now, under the bright sun and wind, it won't be long before his soul is scattered!"
"That's right, that's exactly it! Lord River God is correct!"
"Lord River God, your wisdom is truly profound. Your subordinate admires you wholeheartedly."
The whale swallower and the shrimp bowed and scraped, showering him with flattery.
Little Yellow Dragon raised its head slightly; though the flattery was crude, it felt satisfying and pleasant.
"If that's the case, should we still pursue them?"
"Idiot, his soul has been scattered, what's the point of chasing after him?"
The shrimp rolled its eyes at the whale-swallowing creature, then looked at the little yellow dragon with a fawning expression and pointed to the fleshy body on the ground.
"What should we do with this body? I have all sorts of sharp knives; we can cut it open and dig out the golden lotus seed!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Dig it out!"
Swallowing Whale nodded repeatedly in agreement, his face filled with greed whenever the Golden Lotus Seed was mentioned.
The Crimson Blood King stood to the side, his eyes also glowing red.
Little Yellow Dragon glanced at the three monsters beside him and snorted contemptuously. These three fools had already been bewitched by the Golden Lotus Seed and were about to lose their minds.
"No need for that."
Gazing at the golden scales covered in lotus patterns, the little yellow dragon slowly spoke.
"Such a physical body is a pity to destroy. It would be better to train it into a puppet to control, which would also be a way to make up for my thousand-year-old Jiangli Net!"
"To train into a puppet?"
"Not digging for golden lotus seeds anymore?"
The shrimp and the whale opened their mouths, both looking disappointed.
But since Little Yellow Dragon had already spoken, they dared not disobey.
After all, they haven't completely lost their minds and can still distinguish between the king and the queen.
"Lord River God, now that the matter is settled, I shall take my leave."
Seeing that there was no hope for the Golden Lotus Seed, the Crimson Blood King said something and then turned into a cloud of blood mist, heading straight for the Tongtian River.
Watching the Crimson Blood King leave, Shrimp couldn't help but say something.
"Lord River God, are you really not going to punish this monster?"
"The Crimson Blood King has two lotus seeds and his supernatural abilities are not weak. Moreover, the Gelang Reef has a large number of soldiers and generals, so it would be unwise to fight him head-on. The Tongtian River is eight hundred miles long. As long as he stops acting recklessly, I can turn a blind eye."
Little Yellow Dragon spoke calmly, but inwardly he snorted coldly.
He's only temporarily transferring here at Tongtian River; he'll be moving elsewhere in two or three hundred years at most. Why cause trouble?
Having said that, the little yellow dragon put away the carp's flesh on the ground, and carrying the shrimp and the whale, it rose up a cloud and returned to the Tongtian River.
"They didn't catch up."
Using the method of night travel, the soul leaves the body and flies a hundred miles away in a short time, and the thunder can no longer be heard behind.
Li Yue breathed a slight sigh of relief; it seemed that Little Yellow Dragon and the others hadn't caught up.
"The physical body...?"
At the same time, as if a glass wiped by a windshield wiper, my mind instantly cleared.
He had already realized that Xiao Huanglong and the others were located through their physical bodies, and since he had now abandoned his physical body, he would naturally be unable to track them.
Thinking of this, Li Yue was puzzled again. Who was this person who had just given him the hint? How could they have seen through the key to this?
"That's enough."
With no leads, I simply stopped thinking about it.
Looking back, there was no lingering affection in his eyes.
As he abandoned his physical body, he also discarded the golden lotus seed, thus eliminating his greedy desires.
With a clear mind, Li Yue became even more certain that it was because of the bewitching Golden Lotus Seed that he lingered in the Tongtian River and delayed going ashore, which led to his current predicament.
"The Nest-Building Immortal".
Li Yue snorted coldly again, "What immortal? He's just a demon who wreaks havoc on this area."
However, once he abandoned himself and went ashore, everything was no longer his concern.
Look up at the blazing sun; the important thing now is to find a place to settle down.
Li Yue had not yet cultivated his primordial spirit, and his soul was originally unable to withstand the sun and rain. However, unexpectedly, the golden robe woven from incense that he had previously absorbed now resembled a suit of armor, firmly protecting his soul within it.
"there."
With his life temporarily safe, Li Yue could think things through carefully. After a while, he spotted a small town in the distance and flew straight towards it.
