Chapter 1355 Crossing the River
Xiao Yu and others were walking on a mountain road ten miles away from the trapped city. Because the war began, there were few ghosts on this road, only some soldiers riding tall horses were shuttled back and forth.
"Master, don't walk forward. You can reach the trapped city by crossing this river. I'm afraid there are heavy troops in front of you."
Xiao Yu and the others were still walking forward, but the guided ghost hurriedly spoke out to remind him.
"Chirky..."
As soon as the guided ghost finished his words, birds cried out in the sky, and then two large black birds flew over Xiao Yu and the others.
"Hey, what are you doing, why are you still staying here now?"
On the big bird, a man looked at Xiao Yu and the others and asked with a cautious look on his face.
"Sir, we are a patrol team. We just encountered the attack from the underworld team in the distance. We ran here in a panic. We were about to cross the river and return to the trapped city to report to the general."
The monk shouted at the top of his voice.
The first few times, the monk was a little uncomfortable, and he spoke Amitabha Buddha, almost showing his legs. Fortunately, there were monks in the other side of hell, so they did not arouse the suspicion of those people.
"The team of the underworld?
How many people are there, and where are they?”
The man standing on the bird hurriedly looked up at the distance, but the mountains and forests over there were silent and there was no movement.
"They killed more than a dozen of my brothers, and we fought hard and finally escaped. They didn't chase them. Now they don't know where they went!"
The monk seemed a little sad, and his face was extremely rich.
"This is our token, please check it out."
The guide ghost said that soldiers riding flying soul beasts are higher in status than ghost generals running on the ground, so the monk called the other party an adult.
The other party reached out and grabbed it, and the token in the monk's hand was directly sucked by the other party.
"The token is true. Now the army of the two sides are gathering. There are hunting teams from the underworld everywhere. You can quickly cross the river and go to the trapped city to wait for the dispatch."
The man threw the token to the monk, then looked around and went straight toward the direction where Xiao Yu and the others had just arrived.
Seeing the other party leave, Xiao Yu and the others' hearts fell to the ground in an instant. Then a few people looked around and hurriedly ran towards the river.
The upstream of the river looks narrower, about thirty meters, but at this distance, Xiao Yu and the others dare not flow over, because they are Taoists after all, and their ways of acting are different from ghosts.
"Little devil, is there a ferryman?"
Xiao Yu asked in a low voice.
"Yes, there are hell puffer fish in this river, they are ferrymen.
The Taoist priest can send ghost energy into the token, and there will naturally be puffer fish around him."
I have to say that having a good guide is indeed much more convenient. If Xiao Yu and the others, they will definitely step on the water directly, which will expose their target.
Xiao Yu reached out to take the monk's token, and secretly asked Xiaoqiang to send some ghost energy into it.
For a moment, the seemingly ordinary token actually emitted a strange fluctuation.
It was like a stone falling into the water, and ripples spread to all sides.
In the quiet river, bubbles as big as billiards began to emit, and they became increasingly dense.
Xiao Yu and his friends looked at the river intently, and then a white strange fish emerged from the water.
The fish is snow-white all over, with two small eyes, and two long beards that are probably half a meter long.
"Crazy..."
The river water separated to both sides, revealing the round body of the puffer fish, floating on the water like an air-filled balloon.
The other party looked at Xiao Yu and the others without further action, which made Xiao Yu and the others a little strange.
"Send us to the other side quickly and report to the general if you have important matters."
Xiao Yu felt guilty when he was seen by the other party, and quickly raised the token in his hand and shouted loudly.
"Gudong..."
The puffer fish spitted a bubble, then turned its body and swam towards Xiao Yu and the others.
"Wu Xuan, use ghost energy to hold us back and don't be discovered by this thing."
As the saying goes, ghosts carry people as heavy as mountains, and people carry ghosts as light as wild.
Once they stood on the back of the puffer fish, the weight of a few people alone was enough to reveal their identity.
Xiao Yu and the others can go there, but there are countless pairs of eyes around here. Once they go there, they will be hunted down later!
"Don't worry, leave it to me, you can just go up."
Wu Xuan's voice rang in Xiao Yu's mind.
The puffer fish turned around, and his body, which was like a balloon, leaned directly on the shore.
Xiao Yu was the first to step on it. The moment he stepped onto the back of the puffer fish, a black air flew out from the ancient jade on his neck, and came directly to his feet, holding his body firmly on it.
In this way, the puffer fish will not feel the person on its back is very heavy, and it will not suspect that Xiao Yu and the others are not real ghost bodies.
Xiao Yu stood steadily on the back of the pufferfish, then nodded to Qinglong and others, signaling them not to worry.
Several people stood on the back of the pufferfish one after another, but their bodies had a lot of weight held in the air by Wu Xuan using ghost energy, so the pufferfish still floated on the water and did not sink.
After Xiao Yu and his men stood firm, the fat body of the puffer fish began to swim towards the opposite side.
The river channel was only about 30 meters, and the puffer fish only swung its tail a few times, and Xiao Yu and the others leaned on the opposite shore.
The puffer fish looked at Xiao Yu and the others, but did not leave.
"What does this mean? Are you still going to ask for a tip?"
Qinglong had a little puzzled Tao.
Xiao Yu looked at the puffer fish, turned his hand and took out a low-level soul stone.
"Thank you for your help. I have a soul stone here, so I will treat it as your reward."
Xiao Yu shook the soul stone in his hand towards the puffer fish.
As he thought, the soul stone had a strong temptation to any creature here.
The puffer fish looked at the soul stone in Xiao Yu's hand, and kept opening his mouth, turning around in the water, as if he was very excited.
Xiao Yu observed the other party for a while, then threw down the soul stone in his hand and swallowed it into his stomach by a puffer fish.
Swallowed the soul stone, the pufferfish looked at Xiao Yu and made a babbling sound in his mouth, like a baby's cry.
"Who is on the riverside? The war is about to start. Why don't you leave quickly?"
Behind Xiao Yu and others, a woman's voice came.
When the puffer fish heard the woman's voice, it slammed into the water with its tail and disappeared.
"It should be a tigress, and even the pufferfish are afraid of her."
Xiao Yu and his friends turned around and looked at the place where the sound came.
Only then did they realize that there was a wide road next to the river.
A woman stood by the roadside. The woman was dressed in white, like a fairy in the painting, and her long black hair hung around her waist like a waterfall.
The eyes of moderate size are like two dazzling gems, and the snow-white skin can be broken. It is indeed pleasing to such a person to appear in hell.
Xiao Yu and the others were shocked by the appearance of the woman. They were all people who had never met a woman in the past year, so when they saw such a beautiful woman, their reactions were different.
Xiao Yu is not a saint, he also has seven emotions and six desires, let alone Qinglong. His eyes began to become blurred, and his body actually had the reaction that a man should have.
However, the two monks were extremely calm. They just glanced at the woman in white, then lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.
