Chapter 1: On the Ghost River, a Bridge Crossing (I)

Over the rocky low mountain, a gusty wind came to the nose, and across the front was a large river with rough waves.

The river was so wide that you couldn't see the edge from the top of the mountain.

The inky black river rolled and roared.

There were faint wails in the sound of the waves, as if countless ghosts were weeping and struggling in them.

It was really a ghost cry.

If you look into the black river water, you can see countless incomplete ghosts rolling up among the inky waves, waving their hands desperately and struggling and howling, and occasionally if something accidentally falls to the surface of the river, they will be pulled into the river by those ghosts and will never float again.

It's as if the whole river is made up of ghosts.

It is recorded in the "Domain Chronicles" that this river is called the Ghost River, and the river water is the underground yin/water, no matter what falls into it, it can't float, and there are many ghosts who have fallen into hell in the world who have strayed into it, and they can't be liberated from eternal life and eternity. The ghosts trapped in the river are unwilling to be freed forever, and always hope to catch something and take the opportunity to escape from the ghost river, so that no matter what passes over the river, they will hold on to it and sink into the ghost river with them.

After the Ghost River, it's a real wilderness.

When I watched "Domain Chronicles" before, I never thought that I would actually see this river of unjust souls with my own eyes one day.

As a pedigree of the geographical knowledge of the Fire Tree Dynasty, the Domain Chronicles recorded most of the geographical knowledge of this layer of hell, but all members of the dynasty who went to school read this book.

Huo Ying stood on the stone mountain, looking at the Ghost River in the distance, and looked back at the way he came, and couldn't help but sigh faintly.

After crossing this river, I don't know when I will be able to return to my hometown.

"Let's go, princess, and it's safe to cross the river."

Jing Yan, the guard general beside him, persuaded so.

said that he was a general, but now there are only a dozen subordinates left around him, which can be regarded as a typical bare-bones commander.

When he first escaped from the royal capital, there was still a team of nearly 1,000 people, but he fought and fled all the way, running over tens of thousands of miles, and those who died in battle and fled, in the end, only these were left.

Jingyan never imagined that he would have such a wolf bรจi day.

But now is not the time for sadness.

Only by crossing the River of Ghosts can we be truly safe.

The sky above the Ghost River is so angry that a natural soul labyrinth is generated, and any weaker creature flying into it will unconsciously lose its way, and it will keep spinning there until it has exhausted all its body and fallen into the river, becoming a part of the thousands of souls in the Ghost River; Nothing in the ghost river can float, and even goose feathers will sink to the bottom immediately.

The only way to cross the river is to hire a ghost ferryman's ferryboat.

The Wraith Ferryman is a unique race spawned by the Wraith River's injustice, born on the river, and will automatically dissipate and die once it is separated from the river. They can condense the grievances on the surface of the river and use them as boats to carry passengers across the river. The number of ghost ferrymen is scarce, so only a small number of guests can be ferried.

All these characteristics doomed the large army to be impossible to cross the Wraith River.

All you have to do is cross the Wraith River to get rid of the pursuing forces sent by the rebels.

Without a large army of pursuits, it would be extremely difficult to catch them in such a vast wilderness.

As for the restoration of the country and revenge, let's wait until we survive safely.

Perhaps, they can rebuild a new dynasty in the wilderness on the other side of the Wraith River, and then find a way to cross the river on a large scale, and then they can justifiably crusade against the rebels.

That's what the rebels feared.

As long as Princess Huoying is alive, they don't want to sleep peacefully!

So chase and kill Wanli, and also vow to bring back the spirit of Princess Huoying!

"I know, let me see it again."

Huo Ying looked into the distance, as if he could really see the hometown of the royal capital thousands of miles away.

But in reality, there was only a black sky in sight, as if there was no hope for her future.

A strange bird flew swiftly overhead.

Jing Yan's heart jumped suddenly.

The bird's whole body shone with a metallic sheen, and it flew extremely fast, but its wings were always stretched flat and unmoving.

None of this is the strangest place.

As a general of the Fire Tree Dynasty, Jingyan has traveled to countless places, and the monsters he has seen can be written into a book as thick as a brick.

What's really strange about this bird is that it doesn't have even the slightest fluctuation of the soul.

What can be soulless?

Even if it is the meanest and simplest hell, there is no body, and the only thing left of the ghost is the soul!

It is simply strange that a soulless thing can fly in the sky so lightly and freely.

While they were thinking, the strange bird flew back and circled lightly over their heads for a week before flying away again.

Jing Yan's eyes were sharp, and when he noticed that the strange bird was circling, his eyes flashed a few times in a row, and an ominous feeling rose in his heart, and he pulled Huo Ying, who was still reluctant to look, and said, "Princess, let's go, we can't delay any longer." โ€

Huo Ying nodded, said no more, turned around and went down the mountain first, the elite with a dozen subordinates carefully guarding the left and right.

When they arrived at the Ghost River, the elite took out a whistle and put it in his mouth to blow it vigorously.

The whistle was low and hoarse, like the last unwilling moan of some dying beast.

This is summoning the ghost ferryman, simulating the sound made by the ghost ferryman, and only regular customers who have crossed the ghost river many times will be given one such whistle by the ghost ferryman, as long as the whistle is heard, the ghost ferryman who is nearby will rush to serve them as soon as possible. This whistle is probably the equivalent of a premium VIP membership card or something like that.

When the elite was young, he used to go to the wilderness with the adventure team to train, and he traveled back and forth to the Ghost River many times, so there was such a whistle. It's just that I haven't used it for many years.

The whistle sounded for a long time, and I didn't see half of the ghost ferryman coming.

The elite can't help but be a little suspicious.

Could it be that after many years of not coming, this rule has not been changed?

After waiting for a while, there was still no ghost ferryman coming, and the elite did not dare to wait any longer, so they ordered their subordinates to search upstream and downstream.

Each ghost ferryman has a fixed ferry range, and there must be a ghost ferryman every five miles or so.

The two attendants found a clean stone, carefully took out a cushion from their bosom and put it on it, invited Huo Ying to sit down, and took out water and food.

Now the princess of the Fire Tree Dynasty is left with only this treatment.

Although Huo Ying was tired and hungry, he didn't have much appetite, so he ate a little, then asked the attendant to put it away, and asked Jingyan instead, "Uncle Jingyan, what should we do after crossing the Ghost River?" โ€

Jingyan is a veteran who has followed Huoying's father for many years, and the founding father of the Huoshu Dynasty.

"After the Ghost River, let's go further, it's best to find a remote and barren place, find a small tribe, kill the leader, take the territory first, and talk about it slowly. You don't know, these small tribal lords in the wilderness are very bold, they dare to claim to be the demon king if they occupy a small floating platform, and those who can lead dozens of demon kings dare to call themselves ghost kings. โ€

Jingyan made his tone as relaxed as possible to divert Huoying's attention.

Huo Ying was really attracted by Jingyan's words, and began to inquire about the situation in the wilderness area.

As the two were talking, a terrible scream suddenly came from the downstream direction.

The scream was short and short, as if it had been blocked as soon as the exit began.

Jingyan's expression froze.

Although it was only a short sound, he could hear it clearly, and it was clearly the voice of a subordinate who had been sent downstream to search for the ghost ferryman.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Jingyan immediately pulled up the princess and hurried upstream.

Fang escaped more than 100 meters, and the subordinates who followed behind let out an exclamation, turning his head to look, but saw a large black shadow surging in the air behind him.

Jing Yan couldn't help but gasp and shouted, "Fire Dragon Rider!" โ€
