Chapter 361: Tiger Resting and Tiger Leaping
At the bottom of the river, the fighting made the water in the entire section of the river turbid.
Under the siege of 300,000 undead, the water monsters and goblins in Jinjiang are disappearing at a terrifying rate.
Although the undead were constantly being consumed, some of them were constantly recovering from the corpses of Chen Jiang and rejoining the battlefield. Some undead swallowed the soul fire of their sacrificed companions, becoming more powerful, and even directly advancing to higher-level undead.
In a short time, most of the nearly 200,000 Jinjiang aquatic creatures were wiped out, while the loss of the undead was less than 50,000.
Under the siege of eight golden skeletons, the Black Water Dragon King was badly beaten and even his horn was broken.
Although a single golden skeleton was not as powerful as the Black Water Dragon King, the Black Water Dragon King was doomed to be defeated and killed by eight golden skeletons besieging him.
After a hard fight, the Black Water Dragon King finally broke out of the siege of the eight golden skeletons and fled quickly to the river. After breaking out, the Black Water Dragon King also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, after flying only a hundred meters above the river, the Black Water Dragon King, who thought he could escape, crashed into an invisible barrier.
As he hit the target, a translucent gray film appeared in the sky, covering the entire section of the Huxie River.
"Barrier!" Looking at the gray film that appeared and disappeared with the impact, the Black Water Dragon King's face, which had just revealed joy, was suddenly filled with despair.
"Black Water Dragon King, you can't escape."
At this time, the eight golden skeletons that were surrounding him also rushed out of the river, forming a Bagua formation to surround the Black Water Dragon King again, and they all looked at the Black Water Dragon King coldly.
Looking at the eight golden skeletons surrounding him again, the Black Water Dragon King knew that there was really no hope of escaping today. His face immediately turned grim and he shouted, "Even though I die, the Jinjiang water tribe will not be destroyed! Kill!"
After shouting, the Black Water Dragon King rushed directly towards Li Xin with its two-hundred-meter-long body.
"kill!"
Seeing this, Li Xin did not show any weakness. With death energy gushing out of his body, he flew towards the Black Water Dragon King. The greatsword in his hand burned with golden soul flames, and he fought with his life.
"Kill!" The other seven golden skeletons also flew towards the Black Water Dragon King at the same time, preparing to siege him again and strangle him as soon as possible.
As the two sides came into contact, the Black Water Dragon King bit the sword in Li Xin's hand and snorted coldly: "Since you won't let me live, let's die together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Black Water Dragon King's body suddenly swelled up, just like an earthworm turning into a caterpillar.
"Asshole~" Seeing that the Black Water Dragon King exploded upon contact, Li Xin cursed immediately, let go of the giant sword in his hand and quickly retreated.
The other golden skeletons that were besieging them also stopped quickly and flew quickly to the rear.
"Boom~~" The next second, a shocking loud noise erupted on the river surface, and the horrific explosion covered an area of 1,000 meters. Even the river water was exposed under the shock wave of the explosion.
The half-gray barrier reappeared, suppressing the power of the explosion to the ground and all directions. In this explosion, the mountains on both sides also began to collapse under the impact of the explosion. However, under the self-explosion of the Black Water Dragon King, a crack still appeared in the barrier.
In the smoke and dust of the explosion, a half-meter-long remnant soul saw the crack in the barrier and immediately turned into a shadow and rushed over. "You want to escape, can you escape?"
However, before the Black Water Dragon King's residual soul could escape the barrier, a bony hand burning with crystal clear flames suddenly emerged from the smoke and grabbed the Black Water Dragon King's residual soul.
Then, the golden skeleton Li Xin emerged from the smoke, looking at the remnant soul in his hand with a sneer. His left hand was actually full of crystal bones.
"Spare me~"
"I'll give you Jinjiang. I don't want anything else. Just let me live!"
The captured remaining soul of the Black Water Dragon King begged.
"Hmph!" Looking at the begging remnant soul of the Black Water Dragon King, Li Xin just sneered, clenched his bony hand tightly, and in an instant the remnant soul of the Black Water Dragon King shattered and scattered.
After destroying the Black Water Dragon King, Li Xin's eyes became even more fierce, and he roared loudly: "Kill all the Jinjiang water creatures, leaving no one alive! Destroy all their souls!"

The next day——
On the road, two Taoist priests, one old and one young, were walking towards the bank of the Jinjiang River. The young Taoist priest saw the boatman sitting on the side of the road and immediately asked in confusion, "Boatman, why are you waiting for us here?"
As he was talking, the young Taoist priest had already trotted over. However, when he came to the boatman and could see Jinjiang, he was stunned and couldn't help rubbing his eyes. "Hey? Isn't this Huxiepian? How did it become like this?"
Did he remember that this was a calm stretch of river before? How come it has now become a winding and turbulent stretch of river, with the turbulent waters like a tiger leaping down a mountain?
Behind the young Taoist priest, an old Taoist priest held a compass in one hand and a golden bell in the other, his face solemn: "Death aura is thick and demonic aura is lingering, but it is all dissipating. There was a great battle here before! But after such a great battle, why is there no news at all?"
Hearing the Taoist's doubts, the boatman next to him shook his head and sighed: "Of course there is no news, because this place is blocked by the barrier, and it will be over in half a day!"
"Senior, I am sorry for not being able to ask you for your advice?" Upon hearing this, the old Taoist looked at the boatman whom he was already familiar with and was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed respectfully.
"I'm just an ordinary boatman!" The boatman shook his head. "I don't know why, but the Lich King sent 300,000 undead into Jinjiang yesterday. Yesterday evening, the undead fought with the Black Water Dragon King of Jinjiang, and the battlefield was here. After the battle, the Black Water Dragon King and his 20,000-plus water monsters, hundreds of thousands of water spirits, and tens of millions of creatures in the river were all killed, and even their souls were slaughtered by the undead. This is how it became."
"Alas." The boatman sighed and said helplessly: "I have rowed the boat here for decades, and now I can only find another place to row the boat! You guys should leave quickly, or you will be killed just because you stopped here!"
After saying this, the boatman stood up and left. If it weren't for the agreement, he wouldn't have waited here for the master and apprentice to remind them.
"This!" Looking at the boatman leaving, the old Taoist was stunned for a moment, then he understood and quickly pulled the little Taoist back.
"Master, are we not crossing the river?" The young Taoist priest was still a little confused as he was being pulled by the old Taoist priest.
"What the hell is going on? Life is more important!" the old Taoist said helplessly.

A village stood in the forest full of birdsong and flowers. The young woman hurried into the village and came to a thatched house. She said to an old woman who was simply dressed and cleaning the yard: "Ancestor, the Lich King suddenly sent 300,000 troops into Jinjiang. They fought a fierce battle with the Black Water Dragon King in the Huxie section of Jinjiang and built a barrier. Before that, undead suddenly appeared in the Jade-faced Flood Dragon's forces. The Jade-faced Flood Dragon once saw the undead, and then there was no news! I don't know if they are dead or alive!"
Hearing this, the old woman was silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "Mei'er, have those undead spirits discovered you?"
"No!" The young woman shook her head. "When the news of the appearance of the undead reached the Jade-faced Flood Dragon, I left the Jade-faced Flood Dragon's water palace and hid in the dark without showing up."
