Looking at the huge black river in front of him, Yan Chutian instinctively felt that something was different even though the black river looked normal.
Seeing Yan Chutian stop, the three women who were following closely behind him also stopped. Their beautiful eyes glanced at Yan Chutian in confusion, and then looked at the huge black river.
However, even Qiu Yu did not find anything strange. It seemed that the black river was really ordinary, and Yan Chutian was just being paranoid.
However, just when Qiu Yu wanted to remind Yan Chutian not to be so nervous, a white shadow gradually floated over from the dark river.
The white shadow approached from afar. When it floated past the four of them, they realized that the white shadow was actually a corpse.
The corpse was swollen. It was unknown how long it had been soaked in the black river. Even though it was already dead, the corpse's eyes were still wide open. Deep fear emerged in its lifeless pupils. It was really hard to imagine what he had encountered. Even after death, he still maintained such a frightened expression.
Seeing the corpse floating over the black river, the three women who thought that Yan Chutian was being paranoid suddenly tensed up. Pairs of beautiful eyes quickly swept over the black river in front of them, carefully watching every movement, afraid that they would miss something.
However, even though the three women were extremely cautious, they still could not find anything strange. At the same time, as the white shadow corpse floated away, the black river returned to its previous calmness. It was as if the scene they had seen just now was just an illusion.
However, the four of them knew that it was absolutely not an illusion. In the black river in front of them, there was a genius disciple who had fallen. It was really strange.
But no matter what, the four of them seemed to be unable to avoid the black river. Even though the black river was not wide, its length seemed to be endless and there was no end.
Then, the four of them tried to go around the black river. The result proved this point. They kept moving along the black river in a certain direction, trying to go around it.
However, after walking for a full day, they still couldn't see any signs of reaching the source or the end of the road. Thus, the four of them could only helplessly face the black river in front of them again.
Yan Chutian continuously scanned the area with his Spiritual Eye, but under his Spiritual Eye, the black river was completely ordinary. However, he also discovered that there was not the slightest bit of life in the huge black river. This seemed to be a dead river!
But if it was the Death River, why wasn't there an aura of death emanating from it? Instead, it was emitting a faint aura of life.
"Life aura?"
Yan Chutian's eyes suddenly brightened. Because of the mention of life aura, he involuntarily thought of the strange skeletons and monsters that could absorb life force when he first entered the periphery of the Myriad Star Valley.
Was this black river the same as those strange creatures? Could it also absorb life force?
Thinking of this, Yan Chutian immediately took out a spiritual medicine from his Qiankun bag and carefully threw it into the black river.
However, the scene of the spiritual medicine being sucked dry and quickly decaying did not appear. The whole spiritual medicine was still intact and floating on the lake, drifting with the waves.
Perhaps this scene could deceive most of the cultivators, but it could never deceive Yan Chutian. Because under the scan of his Spiritual Eye, he could clearly feel that although the spiritual medicine still had its shape, the life aura contained inside had completely disappeared.
In other words, this spiritual medicine was only an empty shell left!
This situation immediately made Yan Chutian's mind more dignified. Because even if he could detect the truth, he could not find out when the spiritual medicine's life force was absorbed and what it was.
Generally speaking, there were only two possibilities. Either Yan Chutian inadvertently ignored it, or even Yan Chutian could not capture its movement.
Of the two explanations, it was obvious that the latter was more convincing.
When Yan Chutian told the three girls this explanation, only Qiu Yu was slightly calm. As for the other two girls, their beautiful eyes were slightly opened, and their beautiful faces revealed undisguised shock.
After a while, Yan Ningzhu, who had calmed down, looked at the black river cautiously and asked softly, "Then what should we do next? Should we continue to try to go around it, or …" Take the risk and cross it? "
Hearing this, Yan Chutian could not help but weigh the pros and cons in his heart. After thinking for a while, he finally locked his gaze on the black river and said slowly, "Let's cross it …"
Yan Chutian's decision was not without his own considerations. Indeed, going around it should be the safest and most secure choice, but the truth was that they did not have enough time. Secondly, with the various strange appearances of the black river, Yan Chutian could imagine that it would not be easy to go around it. Perhaps it would be impossible to go around it!
Therefore, it was better to just choose to cross it. After all, even if he faced many strange things, he was not without countermeasures. No matter what, he was once one of the top ten heaven's prides in the Heaven Realm.
"Cross it?"
Yan Ningzhu seemed to be talking to herself. Then, she looked at the black river in front of her and said again, "If you want to cross it, I might have something that can be of some use."
As her voice fell, a delicate and small boat was taken out by Yan Ningzhu and appeared on her palm.
"As long as you inject spiritual energy to open the seal, this small boat will turn into a real boat. And this boat's entire body is made of strange metal, so you don't have to worry about whether its vitality will be sucked. "
Yan Ningzhu was able to take out such an important item at such a critical moment, which was tantamount to sending charcoal in snowy weather. Yan Chutian's face was filled with joy. He stared at the mini boat in the former's hand and said with a smile.
"With this spiritual boat, our chances of successfully crossing it will be much higher!"
Then, the four of them did not delay any longer. When Yan Ningzhu unsealed the boat and put it into the black river, they rushed onto the boat one by one. Then, under the control of the former, they headed towards the opposite shore.
However, Yan Chutian would never have thought that after their boat set sail, they would find that the opposite shore, which seemed to be close at hand, was something that they could not reach no matter how hard they tried. It was as if there was a long distance between them.
This made Yan Chutian feel that something was wrong. This black river was indeed as he had expected. There was actually such a strange existence in it.
"What's going on?"
"This black river has a formation similar to a spatial restriction. The opposite shore that seems to be close at hand is actually a huge distance away from us. Of course, it's also possible that the opposite shore is really in front of us, but with our strength, it's impossible to reach it. "
"Then what should we do?"
"Turn back and leave!"
Yan Chutian decisively decided. However, the moment he finished speaking, Luo Xue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly pointed to the right and said, "I'm afraid it's already too late for us to leave."
Looking in the direction of Luo Xue's jade-like finger, they saw that from the upper reaches of the black river, there was a large fog shrouding them. At the same time, they did not know if it was an illusion, but there seemed to be a shadow of a black boat looming in the fog, coming along with the thick fog.
The sudden appearance of the thick fog did not give the four of them any time to prepare, and they were immediately swallowed up.
Being enveloped by the thick fog, the four of them immediately became headless flies, unable to distinguish north from south. Not only did the thick fog block Spiritual Energy perception, even Yan Chutian's Spiritual Eye was limited, and its effect was minimal.
It was as if they were completely trapped in the black river and the thick fog.
"Bang …!"
Before the first wave subsided, another wave rose, and suddenly, the sound of collision rang out. Their small boat seemed to have hit something, and when they looked over, they realized that it was actually a huge boat that was dozens of times bigger than them.
However, this boat was very old and shabby, and the body of the boat was tattered, as if it had experienced countless collisions like this, and could completely shatter at any time.
"Is this the shadow of the boat that we saw just now?"
Yan Ningzhu said softly, her beautiful eyes scanning the ancient boat in front of her, and gradually looking up.
As she looked up, a sharp sound suddenly rang out, and a bronze-green spear shadow shot towards Yan Ningzhu at lightning speed, as if it wanted to pierce through her.
However, Yan Ningzhu was a genius, and even though she was in danger, she managed to dodge it, causing the spear shadow to miss.
After dodging the attack, Yan Ningzhu's cold and beautiful eyes immediately looked in the direction of the source of the attack. She wanted to see who had launched a sneak attack on her!
However, after taking a look, she could not help but cry out in surprise, because the source of the attack was not a person, but a corpse that was so rotten that only bones were left, wrapped in ancient clothes.
