professional immortal master

Chapter 241

"Three, do you want to cross the river?"

The boatman who was sitting not far from the ferry turned around slowly, and a dry, pale face without blood appeared in the sight of Gu Cheng and the others. He grinned and showed several yellowed teeth, although he was smiling , but to Gu Cheng and the three of them, it felt a bit uglier than crying. A strange coldness for no reason was born in the hearts of the three of them at the same time.

They may have heard the saying "people look like ghosts" before, but they have never seen it with their own eyes, but today, they actually saw it.

In their eyes, the boatman was really no different from a ghost.

Not only are they similar in appearance, but also in temperament.

"No... no need..."

Ao Jiaojiao, who has always been fearless, unexpectedly spoke with a trembling sound at this time, and immediately shook her head and replied.

The moment she spoke, she involuntarily took two steps back and stood behind Gu Cheng and Zhou Yuanyang.

Even though Gu Cheng and Zhou Yuanyang were men, although they were taken aback, they were able to withstand it after all, and their expressions were still normal.

"Then it's not easy for you to cross the river."

Facing Ao Jiaojiao's refusal, the weird boatman didn't care, instead he smiled strangely.

Then he turned his head and continued to sit there, staring blankly at the black river with billowing white smoke not far away, with a focused expression, as if he had fallen asleep.

"What should we do now?" Ao Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the boatman turned his head again and couldn't see his withered face, and then couldn't help asking.

"By the way, how do we cross the river now?" Zhou Yuanyang also asked.

The eyes of both of them turned to Gu Cheng.

"You ask me?" Gu Cheng was surprised.

"Nonsense, besides us, is there a fourth person here?" Zhou Yuanyang rolled his eyes, but as soon as the words came out, he suddenly remembered that there really seemed to be a fourth person, although he didn't know if the boatman was People, but after all it is not good to slander others, he immediately changed his tune, "Don't you know how to cross the river?"

Seeing his startled look, Gu Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and said, "I really don't know."

"Didn't you say you've been here before? Don't lie to me. You know even the Ghost Cave. How could you not know how to cross the river... Don't talk nonsense, just tell me if you know it, don't waste time." Believe it or not, I thought Gu Cheng was showing off intentionally, so he gave him a hard look, and ordered angrily.

"I really don't know. The situation was different when I came here before, and I've never been here before. The Ghost Cave extends in all directions. Didn't you all see it? Not every route will pass through here." Gu Cheng explained helplessly. Said.

Gu Cheng didn't tell the truth, he had actually been here before, and he also knew the name of this river, it was called Mingyou River.

However, in the game, there are teleportation arrays on both sides of the Netherworld River, so crossing the river is very convenient.

But this real world...

Gu Cheng looked around, but he didn't see any trace of the teleportation array.

"Then what should we do?" Seeing that Gu Cheng didn't look like a fake, Zhou Yuanyang couldn't help being a little dumbfounded for a moment.

"Aren't you good at star arithmetic? Do the math and find out how to cross the river is the safest and most convenient way." Ao Jiaojiao looked at Zhou Yuanyang and said.

"You think I'm a god, how could such a thing be calculated." Facing Ao Jiaojiao's unreasonable request, Zhou Yuanyang couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and said a little speechlessly.

Seeing that the two of them had no choice, Ao Jiaojiao couldn't help but collapsed, "Could it be that we still have to swim across? I can feel that there seems to be a special restriction on this river, and there is no way to fly at all."

In fact, both Gu Cheng and Zhou Yuanyang felt it too.

If they could fly over, they wouldn't have such a headache, they would have already flown over, so there's no need to talk nonsense here.

As for what Ao Jiaojiao said about swimming over?
Looking at the pitch-black river water, the white bones floating on the water, and the extremely strong rancid smell, imagine what it would be like to enter the water... Both of them shuddered involuntarily. Swimming through this river, they prefer to go another way.

"Try other methods first, and then talk about it if it doesn't work."

In desperation, the three had no choice but to start trying other methods.

Zhou Yuanyang took out a long wooden stick from the space storage equipment, and placed it on the shore, his right hand condensed a group of colorful rays of light, lightly dabbed on the long wooden stick, and the wooden stick soon became full of brilliance.

He put the long wooden stick on the river, and the colorful lights flickered. Under Zhou Yuanyang's control, the long wooden stick flew towards the opposite bank of the river, but before reaching the middle of the river, the long wooden stick broke away from Zhou Yuanyang It sank directly into the river without even a single bubble coming out.

"There's something weird in the river."

Zhou Yuanyang quickly came to a conclusion.

Gu Cheng and Ao Jiaojiao also saw that although the long plank was protected by magic, it was corroded by the river water the moment it sank into the river. It is estimated that not even the residue was left.

In this way, if they want to swim in the water, the situation may not be very good, and most of them will be corroded and swallowed by the river water full of rancid smell.

"I don't believe it today."

Ao Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and took out a palm-sized statue of an exotic bird.

Although this statue is small, it exudes astonishing aura fluctuations, and it is an extremely impressive middle-grade magic weapon.

Ao Jiaojiao was originally a local wealthy woman, and her wealth was much stronger than that of Gu Cheng, a poor boy. She didn't hesitate to take out a middle-grade magic weapon to try, but she immediately became aroused without saying a word.

Under the urging of her mana, the strange bird statue quickly let out a scream, and then the light flickered, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a huge strange bird several feet tall and soared into the sky, with demonic aura surging, and big wings As soon as it opened, the wind howled, and it flew directly towards the other side of the river.

Under the instigation of the wings of this huge exotic bird, not only was it protected by billowing demonic energy, but also a burst of gray-brown whirlwinds wrapped it around. past.

Seeing such a scene, the three of Gu Cheng couldn't help showing a hint of joy.

If successful, they can cross the river in this way.

But before the smiles on their faces were fully revealed, a bolt of lightning suddenly lit up in the void and fell instantly. Before the strange bird transformed by the magic weapon could react, it was directly struck by the lightning.

With a loud "boom", neither the monster energy nor the strong wind could stop it at all, and the lightning instantly poured into the body of the strange bird and exploded directly.

A medium-grade magic weapon is gone.

Both Gu Cheng and Zhou Yuanyang couldn't help being stunned. This is a middle-grade magic weapon, no matter what, it is worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, and it didn't even survive a single attack.

"It seems a bit troublesome."

Although Ao Jiaojiao didn't feel sorry for the hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, she still felt a little headache faced with the predicament in front of her.

"If it doesn't work, let's take a boat. I'm afraid this is the only way, unless we find another way."

Looking at the boatman sitting there not far away, and at the boat that was floating on the water but there was nothing wrong with it, Gu Cheng shrugged and said helplessly.

Ao Jiaojiao and Zhou Yuanyang looked at each other, they agreed to say nothing, and followed Gu Cheng towards that side.

Although the boatman made them feel a little weird, they were still very reluctant to ask them to go back and find another way.

"Why, figured it out, want to take a boat?"

The three of Gu Cheng had just approached, and before they could speak, the boatman turned his head again and asked with a half-smile.

"Yes, what are your requirements so that we can take us to the other side of the river?" Seeing the completely unhuman face in front of him, Gu Cheng suppressed the discomfort in his heart, took a step forward, and asked politely.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll throw you off the boat halfway? With your level of cultivation, once you fall into the Nether River, you have no chance of surviving." The boatman didn't answer Gu Cheng's question, but asked with interest.

"Uh..." As soon as he said this, the three of Gu Cheng couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Yeah, what would they do if they did get thrown overboard?
Now it seems that the boat does not seem safe.

If it was the previous situation, Ao Jiaojiao would definitely stand up and curse a few times, jokingly, who would dare to threaten her, but facing the weird boatman here and there, she really didn't have the guts.

Not to mention that the other party's appearance and temperament are not human at all, how many times can a person stay here as a boatman and do business all year round?No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a normal person.

"Don't worry, I won't do such a thing. I am the most trustworthy person. As long as I carry you, I will definitely send you to the other side safely."

"Of course, the premise is that you can afford the price."

Without waiting for Gu Cheng and others to answer, the boatman gave the answer first, twitching the corners of his mouth, showing a barely kind smile, he said lightly.

"Then may I ask, what is the price for taking them to the other side?" Zhou Yuanyang stood up and asked.

"Everyone, one..."

Having said that, the boatman stretched out his index finger and spit out a word at the same time.

It's not a spiritual stone or a treasure, but a "head", and what he wants is a living head.

In other words, if the three of Gu Cheng wanted to take the boat, they had to contribute three heads first, otherwise, there would be no game.

Hearing his weird request, even though Gu Cheng and the other three were mentally prepared, they couldn't help being dumbfounded for a moment. They want a head, and it's a living head. What are they doing?

"Is it okay to replace it with spirit stones? If it's not possible, treasures are fine. As long as you are willing to take us to the other side of the river, we will definitely not be stingy." Ao Jiaojiao asked, resisting the discomfort in her heart.

"What's the use of my spirit stone treasures? Those guys in the river don't eat spirit stone treasures. You only need to give them your head and let them eat enough so that you can cross the river safely. Otherwise, I agree, and they will eat it too." I won't agree." The boatman glanced at Ao Jiaojiao without curiosity, pointed to the Mingyou River not far away, and said coldly.

"What are they you are talking about?" Gu Cheng couldn't help but ask.

"They are the real masters of this Nether River. I'm just a boatman. If you can't feed them enough, I dare not sail." The boatman explained casually.

"Then can we drive by ourselves?" Zhou Yuanyang seemed to find a loophole in the other party's words, and suddenly proposed.

The boatman glanced at him, without hiding the sarcasm in his eyes, and said with a sneer, "Get on the boat and try it out. If you can row, I'll give you the boat."

"Then I'll try."

Zhou Yuanyang was a little unbelieving, and while speaking, he jumped into the boat and grabbed two oars.

But the strange thing is, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake the oars, even the whole boat, he couldn't shake it, even if he was bouncing on the boat, it was the same, just like the whole boat. A ship and a river are connected together.

After a while, the boat didn't move, but Zhou Yuanyang blushed with anger.

Reluctantly transferred back to the shore, he asked Gu Cheng and the two, "How about you go up and try?"

Obviously he lost face alone, and wanted to pull Gu Cheng and Ao Jiaojiao into the water together, anyway, it doesn't matter if everyone loses face together.

But how could Gu Cheng and Ao Jiaojiao fall for it, they have completely seen through the weirdness of that ship, maybe their strength is stronger than Zhou Yuanyang, but with his cultivation strength, it is obvious that there is no way to row that ship .

For a moment, the three of them couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.

"Other methods, we have tried everything we can try, but we can't cross the river."

"It's okay to take a boat, but it requires three heads. What kind of weird condition is this..."

"I knew that when I fought against those people from the Black Dragon Society, I should have brought three people here, so I don't have to worry about it."

The three of them sat on the shore and sighed together.

Maybe there is another way, that is to force the boatman to row them there, but they only dare to think about this idea, the boatman is too weird, full of mysterious smell all over his body, they really dare not take risks.

"What should we do? Are we really going back..." Ao Jiaojiao asked unwillingly.

But at this moment, there was a piercing scream, mixed with many cheerful and piercing whistles.

Immediately afterwards, a big blue bird rushed out of the forest in the distance. There were four figures standing on the big bird, and they flew towards this side at a fast speed. It was obvious that the sound of breaking the air and whistling came from them.

When they reached the Mingyou River, the birds they were driving didn't slow down at all, obviously planning to rush over directly.

But when the big bird just entered the upper part of the river, they encountered the situation before Gu Cheng and others. A bolt of lightning struck directly, and the big bird they were riding was instantly knocked out of their wits. When they landed, the four guys in strange clothes began to curse one after another.
