Chapter 19 The Flower Funeral

Feng Bujue dragged the terrified Oubu along for twenty seconds, catching up to Buu, who was drifting along.

At this moment, the fat man had switched to a face-up backstroke position, so he could hold his nose and mouth shut, holding his breath.

"Careful! These pollen..." Buu shouted as soon as he saw his teammate.

"We're fine!" Feng Bujue interrupted him directly and immediately followed up with a commanding tone, "Quickly turn yourself into the 'balloon state' you mentioned, quick!"

In this critical situation, Buu didn't have time to think, he just instinctively did as Jue-ge said. The next second, his body slowly left the water surface and floated into the air.

"Oubu, grab him, hold on tight!" Feng Bujue said this as he ran past Buu.

"Ah?" After these dozens of seconds, Oubu had just adapted to Jue-ge's moving speed, and his whole person was still dazed. At this moment, Jue-ge suddenly issued an order, so he naturally needed a little time to react.

Fortunately... Oubu's reaction was quite fast. At the moment when he was about to pass by Buu, he stretched out his hand in time and grabbed Buu.

The next second... Feng Bujue's spectacle of "towing two people while skimming across the water" was staged...

Jue-ge took the lead, walking on the water, grabbing Oubu's left arm with his right hand and dragging him behind; Oubu's right arm grabbed Buu who had already "ballooned"; Buu was floating in mid-air, waving wildly in the wind like a kite...

"Buu, besides holding your breath, is there any other way to avoid breathing in those pollen?" Feng Bujue was still trying to solve the current crisis while running.

"No." Buu replied quickly, then puffed out his cheeks again and continued to hold his breath...

"Jue-laoshi, I have two sets of respirators and oxygen tanks, I can give one to Buu." Oubu said at this time, "Uh... but you have to stop first. Like this now... it's not convenient for me to take it out..."

"No need to rush." Feng Bujue grinned and replied, "Let's wait until we find the others."

Hearing that Oubu still had a set of respirators and oxygen tanks, Feng Bujue was immediately relieved. Because the [Oxygen Pipe] was a "bound-on-use" item, Jue-ge could not distribute this item to other players to use... Therefore, the oxygen supply equipment that Oubu carried was very critical. Before leaving this pollen-covered area, the five people other than Jue-ge were all counting on this set of respirators. Under this premise, having an extra set of equipment was equivalent to doubling the team's action efficiency.

"Hey! What's going on?"

Just as Jue-ge was thinking, Xiao Ling's figure had already appeared in front of him, and she immediately yelled at the three of them.

At this moment, Xiao Ling was still bouncing back and forth between the two stone walls, without falling into the water; and... she was wearing a gas mask on her face.

"I had already forgotten... her set of clothes comes with a gas mask when 'displaying facial clothing'." Feng Bujue thought to himself after seeing her, "In that case... things will be easier to handle."

"Grab Buu! We can talk on the way." Jue-ge then shouted back.

"Okay, it's easier than jumping myself." Xiao Ling replied.

The height she was at was already slightly higher than Buu's. Seeing the "kite-flying" formation of the three people, she immediately understood what Jue-ge meant. So, when the three of them passed below her, Xiao Ling took the opportunity to turn over and grabbed Buu's left ankle...

At this point, Jue-ge went from towing two people to towing three...

"Whoa... is this a train..." Before long, Ruo Yu's figure also appeared in front of them. When she saw the situation of the four people, she couldn't help but complain.

"Hey... are you sure you're okay being so leisurely?" Feng Bujue asked this because Ruo Yu was not rushing at this time...

In this unbreathable place, Ruo Yu had inserted [Feng Sheng] horizontally into the stone wall, and was standing on the hilt of the sword, waiting calmly in place.

"It doesn't matter, I have related skills, it's okay if I don't breathe for the time being." Ruo Yu said, leaning over and spinning, "Under this situation, I guess you will definitely catch up quickly, so... I'll just wait for you here for a while, so you don't have to worry." When she said the second half of this sentence, she had already pulled out Feng Sheng and grabbed Xiao Ling's hand, "Since you're dragging three people, just take me along."

"You really aren't polite at all..." Feng Bujue grinned, put more strength in his legs, and increased his speed a bit.

The reason why he ran faster and faster was firstly, he was worried about the pursuit of the "daddy" behind him, and secondly, he was afraid that the "walking on water" effect of [Ta Xu] would fail. Because this effect is not without limitations... As long as the weight on Jue-ge reaches a certain amount, he will sink. Therefore, for every person Jue-ge brings along, he has to increase his speed accordingly. The principle is like skipping stones (fluid mechanics says that the greater the flow velocity, the smaller the pressure. When an object whose density is greater than water skims across the surface of the water, it drives the water below it to flow quickly in a very short time, thereby reducing the pressure, while the water further below is stationary, generating a large pressure, which creates a pressure on the object. When the pressure is greater than the object's gravity, the object will bounce up. This situation repeats many times, and the object will appear to jump on the water surface). And if he stops in place, it may cause the water-walking function of the shoes to fail (similar to the function of standing in the air, once it fails, it will take a while to buffer before it can take effect again).

"By the way... how come I don't know you have a breath-holding skill?" Even though he was dragging four people, Jue-ge still had the strength to speak. He had just discovered that running with the [Oxygen Pipe] in his mouth was actually easier than running with normal breathing.

"It's not breath-holding, it's breath regulation." Ruo Yu replied loudly from behind, "I just learned the skill when I visited Thriller Box today."

"Oh... something like tortoise breathing?" Feng Bujue replied, turning his head.

"I'll show it to you when I have time." Ruo Yu replied.

…………

Although her tone was understated, but... this skill she bought this time was definitely extraordinary...

[Name: Mingyu Gong (First Layer)]

[Skill Card Attribute: Special Skill, Permanently Mastered, Ability Increases with Cultivation]

[Skill Category: ???]

[Effect 1: Divine Skill Initialized, Inner Breath Settled]

[Learning Conditions: Female Player, Level 35 or Above, Melee Specialization A, Spirit Art Specialization Activated]

[Note: A peerless martial art of Yihua Palace, an orthodox and top-notch inner cultivation method. Those who have achieved great success in the divine skill will have endless power, ice-like profound energy, eternal youth, and be invincible in the world.]

Presumably many people will have such a question in their hearts... Ruo Yu herself is also a player who doesn't lack money, and her game level is not low either. Logically speaking... her equipment and skills should not be worse than Feng Bujue's, so why has she never taken out anything legendary?

Here, the answer can be revealed...

In addition to basic equipment (things like flashlights), Ruo Yu tends to prefer things with "growth" characteristics when actively purchasing equipment and skills. And she doesn't want just any ordinary one, the ones she finds attractive... are all top-notch.

For example, [Feng Sheng] is a weapon with "sealed power". When the number of evil spirits killed by this sword increases to a certain amount, its seal will be lifted and it will directly become a legendary artifact.

Another example is this [Mingyu Gong] right now. Don't look at the plain effect of its first layer, but its price is as high as tens of thousands of skill points... Ordinary people will definitely give up when they see the inexplicable effect description and then look at the price... But Ruo Yu saw the seven words "ability increases with cultivation" and bought it decisively.

Unlike Feng Bujue's "real-time improvement" approach, Ruo Yu is the type who either doesn't buy anything, or buys something that reaches the end in one step. She can patiently accumulate skill points until something she considers "worth buying" appears (so she has practiced so many levels, but her skill points have not been spent).

Under this philosophy, it will undoubtedly give birth to a player who is "ordinary in the early stage and heaven-defying in the later stage". And this... is also why Vincent placed his bet on Ruo Yu.

"Jue-ge! Something bad happened!"

After dragging four people and running for three minutes, Xiao Tan's shout suddenly came from the front, and his figure also appeared.

"Hey! Why are you running back?" Feng Bujue said, "Your side is the direction of escape! And we have pursuers behind us!"

"It doesn't matter!" Xiao Tan roared with a panicked face.

Before the roar was over, a huge black shadow slowly approached from the river channel behind him, entering everyone's sight...

"A tougher one came to my side!"
