Chapter 97: Crossing the River
A few people continued to walk forward, Miao Ruoyan began to chat with Gu Chen when she had something to do, Gu Chen seemed to be a mystery to her, she wanted to know what Gu Chen's world was like.
Gu Chen was in a good mood after receiving the Soul Eater Beast because he had just shown his might, and he talked about a lot of past experiences, of course, all of which were his majestic experiences.
Everyone was really going smoothly this part of the way, and Gu Chen secretly felt that what Wang Shengshou said was true. The Soul Eater's aura can indeed deter many nearby ghosts and so on.
In the distance, there seemed to be a red body of water, stretching out of bounds, blocking their path horizontally. What to do in this nowhere where there is no one?
When a few people approached, they found that the fishy smell was tangy, the stench was permeated, and they all felt nauseous.
The old man said: "This is the legendary Seven Blood River, this river is formed by the blood of people, gods, demons, demons and monsters, and is named the Seven Blood River." After crossing this river, you can reach places that ordinary people have never reached, and maybe there will be benefits that ordinary people can't get, of course, the front is even more dangerous, otherwise no one will be able to enter and come out alive for hundreds of years. ”
"Has no one ever come out of it?" asked Master Han.
"So far, I have not heard of anyone who has returned, and there are many people who have gone, but as far as I know, none have returned. The old man saw that everyone was nervous, and added, "It may also be that I am lonely and unheard." ”
A few people knew how dangerous it should be.
Gu Chen only wanted to help Wang Shengshou find what he needed this time, and when he came here, he didn't look back, and said: "It's all here, what secrets are hidden in it, why don't you go in and take a look, the problem that needs to be solved in front of you is, how to get there?"
Gu Chen had already changed from doing things for the king's holy hand to being driven by curiosity. He couldn't understand why the men had gone and never returned, trying to go in and find out what was going on inside.
In this way, Gu Chen and Master Han were about to go around looking for trees to make a raft, but the old man stopped and said, "This Seven Blood River is not an ordinary river, if you just find a raft and you can go over, there won't be so many people buried in the river." ”
Gu Chen asked, "Then what can I use to pass safely?"
The old man looked at the sky and said, "Unless you fly over." ”
When Master Han heard this, this was simply a fantasy, and said, "Old man, I can't see the river opposite, how can we fly over?"
The old man glanced at him: "If you can't fly over, you may really have no return." ”
Gu Chen still felt that the old man might not want his granddaughter to go on an adventure and deliberately scare them, so he said: "Old man, if not, you and your granddaughter will wait for us here, and I will build a raft with Master Han, if there is any danger, we will not all be trapped, maybe you can rescue us." ”
When the old man heard this, he smiled and said, "Hey, that's right." How can anyone break together knowing the danger, and only by spreading apart can they take care of each other, so it's decided, you go and build a raft. ”
When Miao Ruoyan heard this, she was a little unhappy and said: "Grandpa, as soon as you have difficulties, you will step back, you are considered greedy for life and afraid of death, and you have no face, and it makes people laugh." ”
The old man looked at Gu Chen and Master Han who were walking into the distance and said, "Face is worth a few dollars, can it save lives?" When the two of them die, we can still be good people and take their bodies back, and their families should be grateful to us at that time." ”
"Grandpa. Miao Ruoyan didn't like to listen to it anymore, "and said something so disliked." Big Brother Gu, they will be fine. When they come back, I'll go with them, and I'll see if you can go or not. ”
The old man sighed: "After all, you are young, come here, I will tell you what to do." ”
After listening to the old man's words, Miao Ruoyan seemed to be a little reassured: "Are you really sure they're okay?"
The old man said: "They are heavenly officials, they are from heaven, do you understand? Can they be the same as us mortals? If we go, we will definitely die, if we are better, we will die for a lifetime, they are immortals, and immortals will not die, how can there be anything if they go?"
Miao Ruoyan thought about it and felt that it was right. But I still think that grandpa said this because he was afraid of death.
Gu Chen and Master Han found some vine branches, branches, and trunks, and began to build a simple raft.
Miao Ruoyan looked over and asked, "Is this okay?"
Gu Chen said: "Don't worry, as long as it is strong, there will be no problem." ”
There was not much time, Gu Chen made a raft 5 meters long and 3 meters wide, which was more than enough for him and Master Han to sit on.
Miao Ruoyan said: "Get another one for me and grandpa, when the time comes, you will be in front, we will be in the back, in case one of them goes wrong, you can quickly jump on another raft and get out of danger together." ”
When Master Han heard this, it made sense: "Miss Miao is very thoughtful. ”
Gu Chen and Master Han made another one as big as they did just now, and the old man looked at it: "You dare to guarantee that this is okay?"
Gu Chen said: "It's definitely no problem for the four of us to sit on one at the same time, don't worry." ”
After a short rest, a few people began to cross the river.
Gu Chen and Master Han were on a raft and drove forward leisurely. Gu Chen remembered what he had been like when he crossed the sea with Fan Xiaotang and strayed into the Four Strange Islands, and he didn't know where Fan Xiaotang had gone and what had happened now.
Not far behind them, Miao Ruoyan was holding the raft while educating her grandfather, who was reluctant to go: "Grandpa, are you still afraid of death when you are so old? You see that they are still so young and not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
The old man lay on the raft and didn't even look at her: "I'm afraid of death, I'm not afraid, I'm afraid that something will happen to you." ”
Miao Ruoyan smiled: "I don't believe it." ”
While teasing, the grandfather and grandson followed the raft of Gu Chen and Master Han in front of them.
After about a cup of tea, Master Han suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous, and streams of red filth filled from the river of seven blood below the raft, choking people's mouths and noses. When I looked down, I saw that the red water was constantly tumbling, and it seemed to be boiling.
At the same time, Master Han felt that the raft seemed to be slowly sinking, and this discovery made Master Han suddenly feel out of the sky.
Gu Chen also realized that something seemed to be wrong, and when he looked closely, he found that the raft was sinking, which scared him a lot. If it sinks, it will have to shed its skin if it doesn't die.
The two of them were about to turn around and call Miao Ruoyan behind them, but when they turned around, they found that there was nothing behind them. Above the entire Seven Blood River, a red mist filled the river, and they saw that only the two of them were alone in the red mist, which was particularly prominent.
"Gu Chen, we are in danger. Master Han shouted urgently, "What should I do?"
