Chapter 287: Quicksand River
Xiao Yu stared at the hungry ghost with wide eyes, his legs weak. The evil ghost was disheveled, his face was pale, he was covered with a black cloak, and he was lying on the body of a dead huge minotaur, his miserable white and slender fingers grabbed a handful of internal organs and stuffed them into his mouth, hearing Xiao Yu's scream, the evil ghost raised his head, grinned at Xiao Yu, and made a strange sound of "Ji Ji", and then lowered his head and continued to stuff things into his mouth, ignoring Xiao Yu's existence at all.
Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be just a little ghost who couldn't attack people, and calmed down slightly, Xiao Yu bypassed this hungry ghost far away.
In fact, Xiao Yu called it a ghost, which is a bit exaggerated, this kind of thing is called a ghost, it is everywhere in the underworld, this kind of ghost does not have mana, does not know how to attack people, feeds on the carrion corpses of animals or people, the ghost is the lowest existence in the underworld, but it will gradually evolve into a ghost with the increase in the number of sucking carrion corpses, with preliminary mana, and begin to take the initiative to attack people.
A few steps forward, Xiao Yu saw another ghost lying on the ground, devouring the internal organs of a demon beast that had just died, and he didn't pay attention to it when he saw Xiao Yu, just grabbed a lump of red and white things and stuffed it into his mouth, making Xiao Yu feel sick to his stomach.
Running all the way, there was this strange sound everywhere, and after running for a few kilometers, a bright green light appeared in front of him.
Xiao Yu looked intently, there was a faint stockade in front of him, dozens of low houses of all sizes arched against a tall stilted building in the middle, not much magnificent, but it would not be an ordinary family, it can be seen from the yaksha who walked around and patrolled in the stockade that the owner of this village must be a person with status, or a ghost.
Carefully observed the surrounding terrain, if you want not to alarm the patrol guards in the village, you can only climb over the mountain beam in the northwest corner, the mountain beam is about two thousand meters high, and it may take a lot of time to cross this mountain beam, but this is the only way Xiao Yu can walk now, if you want to take the flat road, alarm the people in the village, and undoubtedly look for death.
Looking for the way to die, Xiao Yu naturally wouldn't go, only hesitated for a moment, Xiao Yu resolutely touched the mountain beam in the northwest corner.
Sure enough, as Xiao Yu expected, this mountain beam did not have any defense, Xiao Yu easily turned over, after turning over the mountain beam, a hundred meters wide river was in front, the river water was turbid, it was difficult to get a glimpse of the scene in the river, and I didn't know if there were powerful demon beasts in the river, and it seemed unrealistic to want to cross the river and cross to the other side.
After coming to the underworld, although Xiao Yu's mana was not limited, he didn't dare to fly in the air, Xiao Yu didn't know anything about the underworld, and the ghost knew if he would be shot down by powerful ghosts when he flew into the air, anyway, after Xiao Yu entered the underworld, he never saw a monk flying in the air.
I can't fly in the air, and I don't know the depth of the river, and there is no ferry around, Xiao Yu is in trouble, if there are people, it's good to find someone to ask about the situation.
The so-called no coincidence is not a book, just as Xiao Yu was searching everywhere, wanting to find someone to ask about the situation. No, a petite woman in black appeared in the upper reaches of the river. The woman was holding a fishing rod and was staring intently at the floats in the river, as if she was fishing.
Can you catch fish in this river? Xiao Yu was skeptical! But this was not something he should be concerned about, his goal was to find someone to ask how to cross the river, and this woman was just right. Having made up his mind, Xiao Yu slowly walked towards the woman in black.
"May I ask this young lady, how can I cross the river to the other side?" Xiao Yu approached the woman, clasped his fists, and asked.
"Huh?" The woman was startled by Xiao Yu's abrupt voice, and the fishing rod in her hand fell into the water in response, being washed away by the turbid river.
The woman turned around and stared at Xiao Yu with an angry expression, "You...... The 10,000-year-old turtle scared me away, you accompany me, accompany me!" The woman said as she rushed to Xiao Yu's side and punched and kicked Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu was speechless for a long time, and carefully looked at the woman in black beside her, the woman had a cute princess head, a goose egg face, picturesque eyebrows, fair skin, angry, lips high, a pair of sheared eyes full of mist, the grade is not big, the figure has not fully grown, and she is a little Lori.
"Little girl, you misunderstood, I didn't mean to scare you, I just wanted to ask you about the way to cross the river, but I didn't expect to disturb you fishing, I'm really sorry!" Xiao Yu replied apologetically.
"Then I don't care! You scared away my 10,000-year-old turtle, you have to accompany me, otherwise I won't let you go," Little Lori muttered unrelentingly.
"What 10,000-year-old turtle? Why didn't I see it?" Xiao Yu smiled bitterly, thinking that he couldn't have met the porcelain.
"It's in this river, it's almost caught, you scared it away, you want to accompany me, hurry up and accompany me" Little Lori stretched out her chubby little hand and pointed to the fishing rod that was washed away by the water.
"You're about to catch it?" Xiao Yu's face darkened instantly, the feeling was really that she had met a blackmail villain, seeing that she was not very old, but she knew how to slander people, and her parents must not be good people, as soon as she thought of this, Xiao Yu immediately pushed away the unreasonable little Lori, and scolded angrily, "The little fart who hasn't grown all the hair, I want to blackmail you Grandpa Xiao, there is no door, get out of the calf!"
"Wow!" Little Lori was pushed by Xiao Yu, and suddenly sat on the ground, howling and crying, crying so much that it was a shocking cry, crying ghosts and gods, it is estimated that the cow ghosts and snake gods in the nearby villages were all recruited by her.
"Shut up!" Xiao Yu was startled by her exaggerated cry, and immediately took two steps forward to cover her mouth and prevent her from screaming, if she let her howl a few more times, it would be troublesome to attract ghosts and ghosts.
"Woo woo!" Xiao Lori, who was gagged by Xiao Yu, danced with her hands and stared at Xiao Yu angrily in protest, if it weren't for Xiao Yu's strength, I'm afraid she would really rush up and fight with Xiao Yu.
"Shut up, if you don't stop talking, I'll kill you," Xiao Yu summoned a common one, which threatened on the neck of Little Lori.
This trick worked very well, and Xiao Lori immediately quieted down, staring at Xiao Yu with a frightened face, and constantly shaking her head, meaning to ask Xiao Yu not to kill her.
"Tell me how I can cross the river?" Xiao Yu continued to grab little Lori's neck and asked.
"Woo woo!" Xiao Lori glared at Xiao Yu innocently, whined a few times, and signaled that she was gagged by him and couldn't speak.
Xiao Yu glanced at her suspiciously, and threatened, "I'll let you go first, you are not allowed to shout loudly, otherwise I will pierce your throat with a sword" After speaking, he deliberately stroked Xiao Lori's neck twice.
Feeling the coldness on her neck, Xiao Lori nodded mechanically, Xiao Yu slowly let go of her, but the long sword in her hand did not move, always guarding against her, as long as Xiao Lori dared to scream, his long sword would not hesitate to stab down, resulting in her life.
"This river is called the Quicksand River, there is no ferry, there is only a 10,000-year-old turtle, the 10,000-year-old turtle will cross the river to all those who want to cross the other bank, and it will not charge any fees, as long as the person who crosses the river promises him to help him do something" Xiao Lori rubbed her slightly bulging chest that was hit by Xiao Yu and replied.
"The Ten Thousand Year Divine Turtle, is this Ten Thousand Year Divine Turtle you just caught?" Xiao Yu asked with an unkind face.
"Well, that's it!" Little Lori didn't care about Xiao Yu's expression at all, and replied without any scheming.
Xiao Yu didn't bother to bother with her, this little Lori was obviously a little brainless, and she wanted to deliberately lie to herself, the 10,000-year-old turtles were all monsters that had become spirits, how could they be so easy to fish, and I didn't know how her brain grew.
Suddenly, shouts rang out from the mountain beams in the distance, and a group of yaksha arched and guarded a woman in white and ran towards them quickly.
"Yue'er!" shouted the woman in white as she ran, and soon came to the river.
"Mother!" Seeing this, Little Lori quickly got up and threw herself into the arms of the woman in white. The woman in white has a somewhat similar face to Little Lori, but her body is plump and full of mature charm, which is a little more beautiful than Little Lori.
"Yue'er, who is he?" The woman in white saw this man hugging her daughter from afar, so she kept looking at Xiao Yu with a strange look, the kind of eyes that a husband and a son in law have.
"He's ...... He is ......" Xiao Lori heard this, turned her head, looked at Xiao Yu, and just wanted to say that he was the murderer of her daughter's kidnapping, but when she saw Xiao Yu's cold eyes, her heart trembled, and she immediately changed her words, "He is a friend of his daughter!"
"Friend, what kind of friend?" the woman in white asked, looking Xiao Yu up and down.
"Oh, mother, don't ask, it's just an ordinary friend who often plays together" Little Lori was coquettish in the arms of the woman in white, trying to divert the woman's attention.
"Ordinary friends who often play together?" The woman in white was even more puzzled, she knew that her daughter was usually a loner and had no friends at all, this man looked at him, not to mention that he couldn't see the friendship between friends from his eyes at all, so she couldn't help but doubt it.
"I don't know which mountain the little brother belongs to?" The woman in white stared at Xiao Yu and asked lightly, her burning eyes scanning Xiao Yu up and down, giving Xiao Yu a lot of pressure.
"Mrs. Hui, it's ...... below" Xiao Yu was about to say that he was coming from Twilight, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Lori.
"Brother Niu, didn't you say that you were going to take me to Xuefeng Mountain to play, when will you take me there?"
"Xuefeng Mountain?" The woman in white frowned slightly, and interrupted, "The Black Wind General of Xuefeng Mountain has always been at odds with your father, you can't go!", although the woman's eyes looking at Xiao Yu were still not good, but there was obviously no previous hostility.
"Oh!" Little Lori nodded obediently, clinging to the woman in white's chest, and winked playfully at Xiao Yu.
