Chapter 925 - The Boundary River is Hard to Cross

Words : 1583 Author : Deep Feelings

Chapter 925 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky" starts with dramatic events: That shriek approached from afar.It was the sound of the air being constantly pierced, even... Discover what happens!

That shriek approached from afar.It was the sound of the air being constantly pierced, even the sound itself being stacked and shattered, eventually fusing together into a piercing noise.

What mighty being was traveling at such a terrifying speed—during this time, in the current Ding Wei region, who else could it be?

Even Ding Jingshan couldn’t possibly leave the Floating Island and cross the wilderness at this time.

It could only be a powerful pursuer from the Sea Clan.

At this moment, only a strong Sea Clan member could behave so recklessly.

And to arrive so quickly!

The speed was indeed astonishing, causing both Jiang Wang and Chu Mi to show their nervousness.

That piercing scream was getting closer and closer.

Jiang Wang held the Red Mirror in his hand, and through this precious mirror, he finally saw the clear image of the comer.

It was a huge eagle-shaped Sea Beast.

Clearly, it was the true form of a Sea Clan powerhouse manifesting its main body.

Its face was like a fierce ghost, with green skin and sharp fangs, terrifying and ferocious.

Its wings spread open, reaching twenty zhang in length, like a mass of black clouds.

Beneath it, a pair of steel-like talons with extremely sharp and long claws, like awls, and in the middle of its claw toes were webbed feet.

It appeared in the field of view of the Red Mirror one moment and disappeared in the next.

The shrieking sound pierced through space and rolled away into the distance.

Chu Mi revealed his figure with a solemn expression, “What shall we do?

By the sound of it, that’s the direction of the Boundary River.”

The Lost World’s various regions were separated by what is known as Boundary River.

That’s not an ordinary river, but a fracture zone of time and space, the most chaotic and frightful place known within the Lost World.

A special method must be employed to safely cross it.

Because it essentially demarcates the different regions of the Lost World, it is called “Boundary River” by the Human Race.

The Lost World is not to be seen as a massive flat whole, divided by lines into regions.

The prefectures and provinces of the Human Race’s nations are all like this.

But the Lost World is different.

Within the Lost World, one region is connected to another solely through the “Boundary River.”

To cross that river is to enter another region.

Apart from this, going in any direction will not take you out of the current region.

Therefore, how many regions a single region connects to is often determined by the number of Boundary Rivers appearing at its edges.

They also arise randomly, without pattern.

Like the Ding Wei region at this time, which only connects to the Bing Chen region because there is just one Boundary River in the Ding Wei region.

The Bing Chen region has two Boundary Rivers, connecting both to the Ding Wei region and the Jia Mao region.

That is to say, the Sea Clan powerhouse was hurrying at great speed to cut off the Boundary River before Jiang Wang could leave this realm, making his escape impossible.

“Of course we follow,” Jiang Wang said without expression.

“No matter how strong he is, I don’t believe that I don’t even have a chance to cross the Boundary River.”

At this point, Jiang Wang did not know that an entire Sea Clan army was on a manhunt for him.

But even if he did, he would still make this choice.

“The Sea Clan member who just passed by should be Yu Siqing.

Only he could catch up to us in such a short time.

He is a high-ranking Commander-level Sea Clan from the Fourth Sea Nest and one of the strongest among the high-ranking commanders in the Ding Wei region.

The two of us tied together still wouldn’t stand a chance against him.”

Chu Mi said, “More importantly, there are plenty of soldiers surrounding the Floating Island.

If they are out to catch you, he wouldn’t come alone.

It’s just that he’s the fastest, so we only saw him.

His subordinates will be catching up soon.”

Jiang Wang simply said, “Then we have to hurry even more, don’t we?

The longer we delay, the more help he gets, and the less likely we are to cross the river.”

Chu Mi gritted his teeth, “You’ll get me killed.”

Perhaps realizing his words were too harsh, he added, “I can’t die.”

His eyes even carried a hint of pleading, “I don’t want to die.”

Because of the Life Shadow Pouch woven by Fu Yanqing, if Jiang Wang were in trouble, he would be in trouble too; therefore, he could not afford to disregard Jiang Wang’s safety.

He did his utmost to help Jiang Wang speed up, was the first to react to the noise, wanting to hide Jiang Wang, and at this moment, he tried to persuade Jiang Wang not to take risks…

All to protect Jiang Wang’s life, as well as his own.

He wanted to live, to live was more important than anything else.

Jiang Wang looked at him one more time, took off the Life Shadow Pouch from his waist, and in front of him, crushed it with his True Yuan energy, “You can leave now.

Begging for mercy and surrendering is fine, or finding a place to hide is fine too.

It’s up to you.

You’ve already bought me a lot of time, and that is enough.

I will handle the rest on my own.”

Having said that, without giving him another glance, he went on his way, treading upon the Qingyun.

Chu Mi was stunned in place.

Who would let go of an Outer Tower Cultivator in their grasp at such a moment?

Even if they could not help him escape from predicaments, at the very least, they could serve as a diversion or a meat shield to fend off danger, right?

Yet he had so easily released the shackles.

From his perspective, he only saw the youth walk with a leisurely, victorious stride, seemingly slow but actually moving quickly.

One by one, the green shadows under his feet collapsed, forming a path that extended far into the distance.

As if…

he were ascending the stairs to heaven!

In Jiang Wang’s view, although Chu Mi seemed like an old hand at deceiving and swindling and must have had a scandalous past, he had already been enduring a punishment, bathed in blood in the Lost World for many years.

The mistakes he had made, he was repaying now.

Even if he was guilty, he didn’t deserve to die.

It was true that he had relied on Chu Mi’s secret technique to escape so far in such a short time.

In the struggle between life and death, every moment gained was precious.

He didn’t want, nor was it necessary, to forcibly drag this person into danger with him.

The time for simply fleeing for life was over; a reluctant and timid Chu Mi might not be of any use in the face of powerful Sea Clan members.

Since he was afraid, it was better to set him free.

Chu Mi’s words, both said and unsaid, were hoping for Jiang Wang to find a place to hide, wait for the dust to settle, and then look for an opportunity to cross the border.

Jiang Wang actually had a question he wanted to ask—”Under a destroyed nest, how can there be any intact eggs?”

But in the end, he said nothing.

There are many people in this world.

Some truths are not misunderstood, it’s just that they prefer to blind themselves and are unwilling to understand.

Ding Jingshan said, “In the Lost World, we are all brothers in arms.”

But those he recognized, he recognized; those he didn’t, there was no need to insist upon it.

Just as Ding Jingshan had only given him a choice without making any demands on him.

The “Boundary River” is a rift of time and space, as short as several tens of meters, and as long as more than ten miles.

With the path forward blocked, the longer the Boundary River, the better.

The longer it is, the more difficult it is to blockade, and the more room he has to manoeuvre.

No matter who the Sea Clan member that had just flashed by was, their combat power was definitely above his, so all Jiang Wang was thinking about was breaking through, using all his strength to break through the interception.

He did not harbor hopes of killing his opponent.

According to the map, the Boundary River in the Dingwei sector wasn’t very long, but it was still seven miles.

Seven miles couldn’t be considered short, but it was definitely within the attack range of high-ranking commander-level Sea Clan members.

Took hundred miles away, Jiang Wang slowed down, creating illusions with the King Mirage Pearl in one hand and observing his surroundings with the Red Mirror in the other, his Hidden Clothes allowing him to vanish without a trace as soon as he stopped.

He should have been more cautious and slower, but as he had said to Chu Mi, he had to hurry now.

Caught between advancing and retreating, it was hard to strike a balance!
