Chapter 198: The Blackwater River and the Ferrywoman
"Didn't you say that there will be black ships in about seven days?"
"It's been a few days since you last saw the Black Ship, and we've been waiting for almost seven days now, why haven't we seen the Black Ship?"
In a reed, Zhou Fan frowned and asked the many spirit forbidden masters beside him while eating snake meat.
If he hadn't known that they shouldn't have dared to lie and deceive him, Zhou Fan would have suspected that they were lying.
"This ......"
"My lord! We don't know what's going on either! ”
"Do you think it's the black ship that is delaying time on the way?"
“......”
Facing the suspicions of the spirit forbidden masters beside him, Zhou Fan directly rolled his eyes, thinking that the boat was not controlled by anyone, how could it delay time?
If his guess was correct, the black ship was probably some kind of heaven and earth rule in this forbidden place, and it shouldn't change the law of time at will.
"My lord! It's here! ”
"The black ship has appeared!"
At this time, someone with sharp eyes saw the black ship slowly floating at the end of the line of sight and couldn't help shouting excitedly.
When Zhou Fan heard this, he suddenly saw the end of the black river outside the reeds, and a black boat slowly floated at this moment.
It's just that after seeing the black ship clearly, he couldn't help frowning and turned his head to look at the people beside him.
"Didn't you say the black ship was empty?"
"How can there be a woman at the helm?"
Zhou Fan's whispered inquiry made the old man and the others stunned when they heard the words.
No one answered him, so they all came to the reeds, and they pulled away the reeds and looked towards the black river.
Some of them had better eyesight, and soon they saw that there was a woman whose face could not be seen clearly on the black boat that was coming with the waves.
Everyone looked at each other for a while, even the old man was full of suspicion.
As soon as Zhou Fan saw everyone's expressions, he knew that they didn't know what the situation was.
"The thirty people who were selected before will go with me to see the situation, and the rest of them will stay here in the reeds, and they will not run around or enter the black river at will."
Zhou Fan, who left an order, took the old man surnamed Cai, Zhao Zhuang and more than two dozen spirit forbidden masters to the wooden plank road not far away.
Captain Shadow was left by Zhou Fan to lead the Wind Shadow Army, as well as those who stayed behind the Longxia Kingdom Spirit Forbidden Division team.
At the end of the plank road is the ferry, and after Zhou Fan reminded everyone not to act rashly, he set his eyes on the black boat that was getting closer and closer to the ferry.
I saw a woman wearing a red dress and a red hijab standing on the black boat, she stood quietly on the bow like a wood carving, as if looking at Zhou Fan and others.
When they saw the woman in red clothes and red hijab, dressed like a girl who was about to get married, Zhou Fan and the others all looked at each other for a while.
Looking at the woman in the red dress, Zhou Fan's mind couldn't help but flash the idol he had seen in the temple in the deserted village before.
Isn't the statue of the woman wearing a red hijab?
"Could it be that the idol of the god enshrined in the deserted village is the girl who ferried?"
Zhou Fan muttered secretly, and couldn't help but raise his 120,000 vigilance.
"When you get on the boat, you don't talk a lot, and you must not be rude, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!"
Zhou Fan, who came back to his senses, immediately warned the old man Cai and the others behind him seriously.
"Yes!"
When everyone heard this, their hearts sank, and they all heard the solemnity in Zhou Fan's words.
Although the crowd is a little puzzled, if you want to live a long time, you need to know how to obey orders.
Cai Lao is a little indifferent, he is only interested in men, but not women.
"Look at what! Look at me with that kind of silver gaze again, and be careful that I complain to adults! ”
The strong Zhao Zhuang attracts Cai Lao all the time, so that he can't help but look at him, which makes Zhao Zhuang's scalp tingle for a while, and he complains to Zhou Fan.
"Don't make a fuss! The ship is coming! ”
Zhou Fan reminded everyone at this time, so that Cai Lao and Zhao Zhuang all set their eyes on the Heihe.
I saw that the boat floating on the black river was slowly coming towards the ferry port at this moment.
Everyone was already able to see the woman standing on the bow of the boat at this moment, the woman seemed to be a young girl, her skin was like congealed cream, coupled with Qianqian's jade hands and white lotus-like jade feet, she looked like a beautiful embryo.
If it is outside, as soon as such a girl appears, it will definitely be a bee-like existence, which can make countless men crazy.
But this is a forbidden place, and everyone who has already received the order is silent, and they all look at Zhou Fan and wait for his order.
"In the next week Fan! I don't know what to call the girl? ”
When the black boat slowly docked at the ferry port and did not move, Zhou Fan saw that the woman in the red dress was still motionless, and couldn't help but take the initiative to say hello and ask.
He wanted to probe the other party's bottom, but found that the woman in the red dress did not answer him, but just looked at him quietly through the red hijab.
The gaze through the red hijab made Zhou Fan a little uncomfortable being stared at.
"May I ask if this girl wants to take us across the river?"
Zhou Fan asked politely again, but found that the woman in the red dress still ignored him.
The other party is like a wood carving, motionless from beginning to end.
"Since the girl doesn't speak, then I'll acquiesce to you."
Zhou Fan, who was silent for a while, spoke again, and took the lead in flying and boarding the black ship.
When he landed on the black boat, he stared at the woman in the red dress with a wary face.
When he found that the other party was still motionless and did not attack him, he relaxed his guard slightly.
Immediately after, he motioned for Cai Lao to board the ship.
Cai Lao didn't dare to hesitate, he had been tortured by Zhou Fan a lot these days, and now he had some psychological shadows, even if he disobeyed his orders.
After Cai Lao boarded the ship, the woman in the red dress was still silent and did not have any unusual behavior.
Soon, Zhao Zhuang and others all boarded the ship one after another.
After everyone had boarded the motionless black boat, it slowly turned its bow and headed towards the depths of the black river.
The woman in the red dress standing at the bow of the boat was still motionless, like a wood carving, and when the breeze blew, Zhou Fan and the others smelled a faint girlish fragrance.
Zhou Fan smelled the refreshing fragrance, and immediately became vigilant, mobilizing qi and blood to wrap the fragrance wafting into his body to investigate.
I thought there was something wrong with the fragrance, but I didn't expect it to be just an ordinary spice taste, and it didn't contain any toxins or confusing side effects.
If the woman in the red dress didn't look like a living person, Zhou Fan would have to wonder if she was a wooden person.
In this way, the silent crowd drove under the black boat and entered a foggy area of the black river.
"My lord! Is it a prank that someone deliberately scares people by placing a simulated doll on the bow of the boat? ”
A subordinate of the Spirit Forbidden Master couldn't hold back and whispered in Zhou Fan's ear.
Zhou Fan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and felt that there seemed to be a glimmer of possibility.
"Bang!"
"Ahh
Suddenly, the ear-chewing spirit forbidden master was blasted out by a terrifying force and smashed into the black river in an instant.
In a scream, the spirit forbidden master was shrouded by a group of dark shadows in the Black River, and soon only a pool of blood surfaced.
Everything happened too fast, so that Zhou Fan and the others didn't have time to rescue at all.
"Death to those who insult God!"
At this moment, a cold voice came from the mouth of the woman with the red hijab.
Everyone on the black boat was awe-struck when they heard this, and they all gathered around Zhou Fan and looked vigilantly at the girl in the red dress who suddenly turned around.
Zhou Fan was also like a great enemy at this moment, and when the terrifying force just now blasted away that unlucky spirit forbidden master, he felt a deadly sense of crisis.
The girl in the red dress didn't make any more moves, and soon turned her back to Zhou Fan and the others.
"The black ship can only carry thirty people?"
After being silent for a while, Zhou Fan suddenly whispered to Zhao Zhuang beside him.
Zhao Zhuang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he couldn't understand why Zhou Fan suddenly asked this.
But he still replied truthfully: "It seems that the black ship can only board thirty people, and many people will be shaken out by a mysterious force. ”
As soon as Zhao Zhuang's words fell, he was suddenly stunned.
He finally understood why Zhou Fan asked this!
There are still thirty people on board this time, but there is more variable of a woman in a red dress.
Previously, thirty people could board the ship, and everyone didn't think much about it, but now someone was suddenly shaken away, is it because there is one more person on the black ship?
Everyone looks at me, I look at you, and finally their eyes fall on Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan wasn't sure if it was because of one more person that the unlucky guy was blown away.
But he is dead, and it is useless to think about this, now what he should worry about is what he will encounter when he enters the Black River, and what does the sudden appearance of the woman in the red dress in the bow of the boat mean? What is her purpose?
The silent black ship soon sailed into the sea of fog, and the white fog interfered with the vision, making everyone look around as if they were facing a great enemy.
The mysterious black shadows in the Black River seem to have been secretly following the black boat.
Zhou Fan wasn't sure what the black shadows under the river were, but they were obviously not harmless to humans and animals, at least the spirit forbidden master who fell into the black river and turned into blood in the blink of an eye was the best proof of this.
"My lord! Shall we strike first and see what the dark shadow in the river is? ”
A spirit forbidden master hesitated again and again, and finally asked Zhou Fandao in a low voice.
After all, it is not a way to be vigilant like this all the time, and the consumption of the divine soul is not small.
It is still unknown what those black shadows are, and it is impossible to know what the enemy is, so it is difficult to defend with targeted means.
"Don't act rashly!"
Zhou Fan stopped the idea of recklessness of the people on the boat, and then took out a grenade and threw it into the distance.
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang, and an explosion could be heard in the distance.
I saw a few strange-looking fish being blown up into the air, and then falling down with an ordinary bang.
"It turned out to be a school of strange fish!"
Everyone was secretly relieved when they saw that those black shadows were just strange fish.
"Don't be careless! Those strange fish seem to have extremely sharp teeth, and if they are bitten down, they are afraid that a large piece of flesh will be bitten off. ”
Zhou Fan reminded everyone, and then motioned for them to continue to wait and not act rashly.
The schools of fish wandering in the Black River did not seem to have the intention of attacking the black boat and Zhou Fan and the others on board.
However, they seem to have gathered more and more and gradually surrounded the black ship, and if they accidentally fall, I am afraid that there will be no bones left to be eaten in an instant.
Zhou Fan was vigilant against the fish in the Black River, and at the same time kept an eye on the woman in the red dress standing at the bow of the boat.
She must have had some purpose, otherwise she couldn't have appeared for no reason.
As he went deeper and deeper into the Heihe, the thick white mist became thicker and completely obscured his vision, so that Zhou Fan could only vaguely see the figure of the woman in the red dress standing at the bow of the boat.
Gradually, he couldn't even see the figure of the woman in the red dress, and everything he could see was white.
"Ahh
Suddenly, there was a scream beside him.
"Poof!"
Immediately after, Zhou Fan heard the pop of falling water.
Then there was a scream that stopped abruptly, making Zhou Fan immediately shout: "Everyone is not allowed to move, no matter what they see or hear, they are not allowed to move their feet." ”
