Chapter 32: Each has a ghost
On the shore, Jin Ge squatted on the ground with a dog-beeped expression, and explained: "I also listened to what the old man of our family said when I was a child, as for whether it is true or not, I dare not guarantee it." β
"Then you can die!" Cook said, about to do it.
Chen Mu raised his forehead and said: "Ahem, uncle, didn't you say it just now, before leaving here, let's value peace." β
"Harmony is precious?" Cook snorted coldly: "As long as you let Harley go, I promise that harmony is precious." β
Chen Mu couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Okay, uncle, we are all adults, I don't treat you as a fool, and please don't treat me as a fool." β
"Hmph, then I'll make it clear, it's not impossible to cooperate temporarily, but how can I believe that you won't cross the river and tear down the bridge?" Cook's face was gloomy: "In case you turn your face and don't admit it and continue to threaten me with Harley, then I might as well break the net with you now." β
Chen Mu thought about it, and finally chose to tell the truth: "I really can't guarantee this problem, but if you want me to release Harley now, it will definitely not be possible."
So the choice is actually yours. Either you gamble and believe me for the time being, anyway, if you really want to break the net, it's too late to get out.
Either we're going to go to war now, but I have to warn you that if you choose this, I'll tear up the ticket first. β
Cook stared at Chen Mu coldly, and nodded for a long time: "Okay, then I'll take a gamble, I hope it won't be a lose-lose ending at that time." β
"Let's work together. Chen Mu shrugged his shoulders and turned to Jin Ge: "The second master, then you will lead the way." β
"I tried my best. β
Jin Ge got up and walked into the water, Cook followed, Chen Mu rode Pippi to the rear, and Harley and the fat man hung on either side of the pig's head.
According to Jingo, this is supposed to be the legendary "Stygian Sea", the home of all the pure rivers in the Desert of Death.
"It is said that the origin of the Pure River is actually related to the Outer Heaven Demon Clan, but no one can say the specific situation. I only know that the Death Desert was the final battlefield of the Battle of Twilight, and it was because of that great war that it became a desert. β
Jin Ge said as he swam, "Of course, these are legends, after all, the Twilight Era is too far away, and no one cares about it nowβ"
"To get to the point, I just want to know how we get out, not to hear you tell the myth of the Battle of Twilight. Cook interrupted coldly, "Besides, I'll tell you the truth, I can't trust a sinister and cunning villain like you.
It was Chen Mu who insisted on giving you a chance, so I temporarily compromised. But if I notice anything wrong, I'll break your head right away!"
Jin Ge's face changed instantly, and he turned around and sneered: "Damn, Lao Tzu pretended to be a grandson, but you really treated me as a grandson?"
His whole body lit up with a faint golden light, and he had the intention of making a move if he didn't agree with him: "Besides, what qualifications do you have to scold me? After all these years, your Holy Radiance Crusaders have burned, killed, looted, and done all kinds of evil in the Desert of Death, are we still not allowed to resist?"
Cook's body lit up with a dark red light, squinted his eyes and said: "That Lao Tzu doesn't care, I only know that you played a good show, almost buried Lao Tzu alive in the underground labyrinth, and caused Lao Tzu to fall into the current situation!"
"Fuck off, old manβ"
"That's enough!" Chen Mu frowned: "If you have any grievances, you can fight as much as you want when you go out, but now our goal is to get out alive from here."
And I must remind you that I am the only one here, and I have nothing to worry about. And one of you with your cousin and the other with your young master, even if you yourself are impatient, you have to think about them, right?"
Harley hurriedly chimed in: "Yes, yes, Cook, let's not talk about the past for the time being, let's be in the same boat for now." β
And the fat man next to him kept a gloomy face, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end.
"Hmph, for the sake of Young Master Harley's face, I won't worry about you for the time being, and I'll settle the account with you after I get out!" Cook snorted coldly and restrained the European aura on his body.
Jin Ge didn't speak, but he also reined in Ou Qi, turned around and continued to swim forward.
I stopped and stopped all the way, and I moved forward for a long time, but I still didn't see the island in the lake that Jin Ge said.
The morale of the team is getting lower and lower, and the physical strength is also very overdrawn.
"No, I can't swim anymore, I have to rest for a while. β
Kingo's voice was very weak, and he turned and swam to Pipqueak's side, grabbing its right front leg for support, barely breathing.
Cook also swam over with a gloomy face, grabbing Pippi's left front leg to rest, where Harley hung up.
Chen Mu's lips moved, but he still didn't say anything, just secretly guarded to prevent Jin Ge and Cook from suddenly attacking.
However, he has been riding on Pippi's back, his physical strength is best preserved, and his European qi has long been replenished, and he has a hostage in his hand, so he is not afraid of someone turning his face.
"Young Master Harley, could you please look at the time, how long have we been advancing?" asked Chen Mu.
"Oh, okay, okay, I'll take a look. Harley quickly took out a glittering gold pocket watch from his bosom and opened it to look at it: "It's been nearly a whole day, and even if we remove the break in between, we've been moving forward for most of the day." β
Chen Mu has always paid attention to the speed of the team's advance, and at this time, he knows how far the team has advanced.
He frowned and asked, "Second master, we have all walked such a long distance, and we haven't seen the shadow of the island in the lake yet, are you sure you didn't get the wrong direction?"
Jin Ge smiled bitterly: "There is magnetic field interference here, the compass is useless at all, and I can only follow the feelings, so-"
"Don't make excuses, I suspect that the mid-lake island and the dungeon were all made up by you!" Cook interrupted unceremoniously.
Seeing that the two of them were about to start tearing up again, Chen Mu's head was really big, so he hurriedly said to the mud: "Okay, okay, don't quarrel yet, since they have gone so far, let's hold on a little longer." β
"You have a mount to travel, of course, standing and talking without backache. Cook sneered and questioned: "Now that everyone is tired and hungry, and they are about to reach their limit, are you thinking about contributing this pig so that everyone can eat and drink enough, and then move on?"
Chen Mu squinted his eyes and didn't speak.
The atmosphere instantly became tense, and the two hostages bore the brunt of it.
The fat man is okay, he still has a dead face. Harley was about to pee his pants, he looked at Cook wildly, and finally simply begged: "Cook, forget it, let's lose weight if you are hungry for a few days, it's healthier to lose weight." β
Cook had a cold face, and turned his head to ask Jin Ge: "Young village master, what is your opinion?"
This clearly shows that it is necessary to unite Jin Ge to balance Chen Mu.
Fortunately, Jin Ge was not stupid, and said with a dry smile: "Hehe, I'm casual, but I definitely won't do anything to this pig, I can't afford to mess with its owner." β
"Hmph, since you don't mind going hungry, let's go. Cook let go of Pippi's leg and swam forward.
The team continued to move forward, but Chen Mu's alertness had been raised to the highest level, ready to respond to unexpected situations - not externally, but internally.
For these teammates with their own ghosts, he didn't have much hope, and it was very good to be able to maintain it until now.
But at that moment, a black line suddenly appeared at the end of the field of vision, followed by Harley's scream, who had been looking around with the pocket monocular he had carried with him.
"Island in the middle of the lake, there really is an island in the middle of the lake!"
