Chapter 700: The River of Terror

The voyage back was much smoother than expected, and in less than ten days, the outline of the horizon in the distance could be seen from the vast sea, which meant that the ship would be close to the edge of the Soul Continent at any time, as long as the wind was sufficient.

"Sharon, what are you going to do when you go back?" Xu Ning sat on the side of the boat and wiped the salt stains on it with his hands.

"I should go back to the land of water! Go back to the Jiangxia tribe. Sharon said.

"So what are you going to do, just go back?" Xu Ning asked.

Xia Long looked at his water splitting thorn and said, "The strength you have now is enough to fight with the Mu Fang of the Silver Spring Clan for a while. My mission remains to protect the Jiangxia tribe, no matter what it becomes. ”

Xu Ning sighed, with a look of disappointment on his face. What Xia Long was most afraid of was Xu Ning like this, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother Xu Ning, what about you?" ”

"When we say goodbye to Chen, you should know what she will do when she goes back!"

"This, of course I know, but fighting is a common thing in the Soul Continent."

"This time it's different." Xu Ning shook his head and said, "Although I didn't get what I wanted at the beginning when I went to the overseas fairyland this time, I understood it better, or I was firm in a truth. It is impossible to protect the interests of all people, we must have trade-offs, and when the old things should be discarded, we cannot regret them, and if we want to build a new world, there will be sacrifices. ”

"It's so esoteric, I don't understand."

"Then I'll put it simply, after you go back, if someone from a foreign tribe comes to kill someone from the Jiangxia tribe, what will happen to you?"

"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth, of course!"

"What if the Jiangxia tribe kills other people for profit?"

"This ......," Sharon was speechless, not knowing how to answer.

"That's what I'm going to mean, think about it, I don't want to be there one day. Our brothers met on the battlefield. After Xu Ning finished speaking, he turned around and jumped on the mast and looked at the border line of the continent from a distance.

Soul Continent, I'm back!

Xu Ning did not forcibly ask Xia Long how to do it, and after approaching the Soul Continent, he chose a place close to the Land of Water to land. After Charon jumped on land. I don't know if it's time to turn back.

"Brother Xu Ning, I ......"

"If your husband doesn't get off the horse, go ahead and go back!" Xu Ning's voice was also a little strange.

"Brother Xu Ning, if I encounter the kind of situation you said......"

"Do what you want! I believe that you, who have experienced so many things together, will always figure it out in the face of major rights and wrongs. Xu Ning didn't stop the ship at all, and the ship began to continue sailing.

"Precious!"

"Brother Xu Ning!"

Two people. No one looked back again, for they would not be able to move their feet.

If you continue to follow the river in front of you, you will detour through the territory of the Beizhou Empire, and then you will be able to reach the border of the Dongzhou Empire without passing through the Pamir Plateau and going along the inland river.

"Xu Ning, how far is it from Qingfeng City?"

"It's not very far, it can be reached in three or four days."

Xu Ning said with a smile. Along the way, he told Qianlong about the Soul Continent and Qingfeng City.

"I'm really looking forward to going over and seeing it."

"I would love to go back too. I hope you are safe! Xu Ning said with a smile.

After a day, the boat was no longer able to move, the river narrowed, and the water sank a lot. This made Xu Ning feel annoyed, although it was said that he was going against the water, but under the effect of the wind. It's still a little faster than walking, and if you walk on a dry road, you're not familiar with it, and it seems to be more strenuous.

"Forget it, I think we'd better abandon the boat and go ashore! Been on board for such a long time. I was tired of sitting too. ”

Seeing that he couldn't sail, Xu Ning had to find a reason to comfort himself, but Qianlong and the white fox didn't care, packed up their things, and jumped on the shore one after another.

The moment their feet touched the ground, Xu Ning and Qianlong almost fell.

I hadn't touched the ground for a long time, and I was dangling from my clothes, and it was as if something was pinning my feet. The white fox didn't care, he circled around the two of them several times, and hit Xu Ning and Qianlong's calves with his body.

"It'll be fine after the blood is cleared."

"What a shame!" Xu Ning sighed and said, "I didn't expect that after a few days on the boat, I wouldn't be able to walk." ”

"When I was in the Magic Continent, I also heard of people who had been sailing on the sea for a long time and were paralyzed when they got off the ship. It seems that this matter is not nonsense. ”

"It won't be so strict!" Xu Ning stepped on the ground hard, and after feeling the sensation on his feet, he began to step forward.

If one qiē is normal, everyone is happy!

"Let's go, if we have a town, we can buy a few horses, so it will be faster."

"Actually, we can use magic beasts to get around." Qianlong said after taking a few steps forward.

"Please, this is the Soul Continent, if someone sees such a big dragonfly, they will definitely be scared silly, haha!"

"What if you see a fox that big? And it's a white fox! Qianlong glanced at the white fox.

"That's going to get everyone together and ...... Anyway, I know that in the Soul Continent, people treat fox monsters like this. ”

"Humans are really greedy." The white fox said coldly.

"It's something that can't be helped, I think you're special. I can conclude that you are now a white fox in the form of an animal in the entire Soul Continent, but you can have a human mind. There are two types of monsters, one is humanoid monsters, they are the same as humans, and the other is animalistic monsters, they are large beasts. ”

"Should I be careful, then?" White Fox asked.

"Let them be careful! Otherwise, it will become your snack. Xu Ning said.

The three of them walked forward along the road by the river, and the speed was indeed a lot slower, but Xu Ning was very strange, this road obviously appeared in conjunction with this river, so there must be a dock nearby, and there should be a lot of people on the road. If it's broad daylight, don't people do business?

Before Xu Ning's doubts could be answered, the white fox suddenly ran forward quickly.

"Hey, what's going on?" Xu Ning shouted.

The white fox followed the river all the way forward, and after about a few hundred steps, it stood motionless on the riverbank.

"The white fox must have discovered something." Xu Ning and Qian Long glanced at each other and immediately ran forward.

The white fox's nose is very sensitive, and even without its nose, it can sense the smell of danger from a long distance. When Qian Long and Xu Ning ran behind the white fox and looked up into the river, they were also stunned!

A sudden feeling of horror and disgust came over me, and now, at last, I understood why the water in this river had become shallow!

Because the entire estuary is stuffed with crowded corpses!

The corpses were densely packed together, I don't know how long they had been soaking in the river, they were already swollen, and a few wild dogs were still dragging the corpses and eating the bones of the dead! All the corpses were trapped by ropes, and on the other side of the river, there was a large stain of bright red blood!

Countless heads were crammed into the middle of these corpses, some with their eyes open and looking at the sky, as if they were glaring at the person who had killed them!

This is the first scene of the corpse dumping, or rather, this is the place where the murder plan is carried out!

Xu Ning seemed to see that many people were tied by ropes, kneeling by the river, waiting for the big knife that killed him to fall!

"Wow!"

Qianlong couldn't help but spit out and quickly put it away.

The dead have seen so much, but they have never seen such a tragic and disgusting condition!

Xu Ning frowned, he didn't have time to grieve and be angry, and he didn't have time to be disgusted, so he squatted down and observed the clothes of these dead people by himself. They all look like ordinary people, living in an ordinary city.

Because their clothes do not have a symbol such as a family emblem, and their bodies are not the same, they are both tall and short, fat and thin, both men and women, young and old!

If it weren't for personal vendetta and revenge, Xu Ning thought of another terrible word.

Slaughter the city!

Only an indiscriminate massacre of the city would cause such a situation! Moreover, these corpses have also been professionally processed, so they will not smell if they are a little farther away, which should prevent diseases caused by corpse odor. If the water flows downward, then the city ahead must not be peaceful.

"White Fox, should you win to the city ahead?"

"There are a lot of horses moving fifty miles away, and they seem to be moving in our direction."

"Fifty miles? That'll come soon. ”

"Xu Ning, behind these horse teams, there are still a lot of people." The white fox glanced at Xu Ning and said.

"That means they're still going to kill?" A hint of coldness flashed in Xu Ning's eyes.

"You've just returned to the Soul Continent, it's better to ......"

"I know it's not that complicated to solve things here. They'll be here soon, so let's find a place to hide! ”

The white fox sighed and looked at the road in the distance.

"I didn't expect to kill someone just after I came back, why don't human beings value their lives so much?"

Xu Ning didn't want the white fox and Qianlong to interfere in this matter, so he found a hidden place to settle the white fox and Qianlong, and he stood in the middle of the road.

"Stomp! Stompe! ”

Fifty miles away, the horse team will soon return, but the speed of the people who are driven behind is definitely not so fast, you can ask these horsemen first, with their identity, you must know more

Xu Ning silently picked up a branch from the ground and made a mark on the ground. (To be continued......)
