"Go ahead if you want to find them. I have to continue my journey to the East Sea first," the old man said as he yawned and spat out a mouthful of poisonous gas.
"You go first. I'll come back after I kill them." Sun Zhi squinted his eyes and looked at the sky.
After saying that, he opened his arms, and golden wings that were like blades suddenly appeared on his body. He immediately flapped his wings and flew into the sky with a golden streamer.
The old man held his hands together again and sat on the toad as he flew east.
In a narrow valley hundreds of zhang away from here, a group of human warriors in ragged clothes was carefully moving forward, sticking close to the mountain wall. They all looked nervous, but none of them made a sound.
Walking at the front of the group was a middle-aged man in a white robe. He had white hair and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. He was quite handsome. It was Bai Xiaoyun.
He was holding a palm-sized mini prayer flag in his hand. Buddhist scriptures were embroidered on it with golden threads. From time to time, a layer of faint golden ripples spread out and spread out to a radius of more than a hundred feet.
Following closely behind him was Shen Luo.
"It's all thanks to this Concealment Banner that we were able to escape the pursuit of that Golden Falcon demon." He recalled the situation two days ago and still felt a lingering fear.
Along the way, although they had experienced many hardships and lost a lot of people, they had never encountered a situation like two days ago where they were targeted by two Great Vehicle Stage demons at the same time.
If Bai Xiaoyun had not discovered the situation in time and took the initiative to lure the Golden Falcon Demon away, they would have been wiped out.
"I heard from Bai Bi that after I left, another Greater Demon came looking for me?" Bai Xiaoyun asked without turning his head.
"It's a group of poisonous toads. It seems that there should be a great demon behind them. I used the Divine Travel Armored Horse Amulet to lead them around. I only managed to escape after running far away, "Shen Luo shook his head and replied.
"Out of this valley ahead, we will reach the Town Custom House soon. Take everyone and stay in the valley for now. I will go and take a look first. "Bai Xiaoyun stopped and raised his hand, indicating that everyone should rest.
"Your injuries …" Shen Luo frowned and said hesitantly.
He knew that ever since the battle in the Swords Gate, Bai Xiaoyun's injuries had yet to fully recover.
"I'm fine now. Don't worry. I'm only going to see if that place has fallen. I won't get too close." Bai Xiaoyun turned around and looked at Shen Luo.
As he spoke, he handed over the Concealment Banner in his hand.
Shen Luo had already learned how to use this treasure. So, he took it and continued to activate it.
After Bai Xiaoyun left, Shen Luo took out an atlas of water veins that he had found in a city in Yuzhou with great difficulty, and started reading it carefully.
Yuzhou was close to the Eastern Ocean Bay. The surface water system was very developed. The Qingliu River alone was divided into three water systems that flowed through the land of Yuzhou and finally converged into the Eastern Ocean from three different regions.
Other than the surface water system, there were many underground rivers in Yuzhou. Some of them flowed from the north to the south of the Town Custom House. As long as one could find one, it would be possible to pass through the Town Custom House.
If the Town Custom House had fallen, it would be very important to find such an underground river.
During this period of time, Shen Luo had actually flipped through the atlas many times. However, it only recorded the distribution of water veins on the surface of Yuzhou. There were both ancient and modern records, but there were no records of underground rivers.
Shen Luo could only deduce the situation underground based on the changes in the ancient and modern water veins.
"Eh, this canyon was originally a branch of a river. No wonder I felt that there were traces of erosion from flowing water on both sides of the cliff." Shen Luo compared the location he was at and suddenly made a novel discovery.
However, this was of no help to him in his search for the underground river. Therefore, Shen Luo was only slightly surprised and did not pay too much attention to it.
At this moment, the Invisibility Banner in his hand trembled slightly, and a layer of golden ripples immediately spread out.
Shen Luo hurriedly put away the Geomancy Atlas and looked up at the sky.
The line of sky above the valley was a little gray, but there was nothing above it.
Shen Luo stared at it for a long time until his eyes were a little sore. Just as he was about to look away, a shadow suddenly flashed across his eyes and disappeared.
However, in this short moment, Shen Luo saw clearly that the shadow was the Golden Falcon Great Demon that had chased after them before.
"He's really persistent. I just hope Bai Xiaoyun doesn't encounter him..." Shen Luo was slightly worried.
Just as this thought appeared in his mind, his expression suddenly changed.
Above his head, a shadow covered him, and at the same time, there was a whistling sound of the wind.
Shen Luo raised his head abruptly and saw a huge golden falcon covered in golden feathers. It was flapping its wings and hovering above the canyon. Its pair of dark golden eyes were staring at the people below.
"Cunning little guys, I've finally found you!" The Golden Falcon laughed sinisterly and said.
"Hurry up and run back." Shen Luo's heart tightened as he let out a shout without hesitation.
The group behind him was startled, and all of them ran wildly to the other side of the valley.
However, in the next moment, a huge golden beam of light fell from the sky and hit the top of the valley with a loud boom.
The wall of the valley where the golden beam landed suddenly collapsed like an avalanche.
Large chunks of rock mixed with billowing dust fell down. First, they completely sealed the exit of the canyon in front of them. Then, they continued to cover the back. The entire canyon seemed to have turned into a natural cemetery that was going to bury all of them.
Shen Luo shouted for everyone to retreat, but he did not escape, but stayed behind to cover the rear.
His brows were tightly knitted, and his hands were in front of him, forming a seal. The Nameless Divine Art in his body was activated to the extreme, and he felt the surrounding water vapor, trying to attract the nearby river water to stop the landslide.
However, just as he was about to cast the spell, his expression changed slightly, and he suddenly looked down at his feet, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
After a while, the ground in front of him shook more and more violently. Suddenly, with a "boom", a piece of the ground collapsed, revealing a dark hole.
"Hualala..."
The sound of flowing water was heard, and it became louder and louder, and gradually, it was like rolling thunder.
"Rise."
Shen Luo formed a seal with both hands and shouted loudly.
From the big hole in front of him, a thick stream of water gushed out like a dragon coming out of its hole. Under the control of Shen Luo's Water Control Technique, it turned into a huge torrent and surged toward the collapsed rocks.
There was an underground river under the valley that was once a waterway!
