I believe that everyone understood what Zhao Hai wanted to do. Sheepskin rafts. That's right, Zhao Hai wanted to make a sheepskin raft.
The Thousand Zhang River flowed in the same direction as Zhao Hai's group. This way, Zhao Hai's group could use the Thousand Zhang River to escape. Those cultivators usually wouldn't pay attention to the river.
Very few cultivators would go to the Thousand Zhang River because it was too dangerous. There was rarely news of evil demonic beasts on the Thousand Zhang River. However, the river was too wide and the current was too fast. If a cultivator couldn't fly, it would be very dangerous to travel on the Thousand Zhang River on a boat. Therefore, very few cultivators would go to the Thousand Zhang River.
In addition, Zhao Hai's group was using sheepskin rafts, so they didn't need a lot of wood. Therefore, Zhao Hai wasn't worried about being discovered by the cultivators of the Divine Mysteries Sect in the sky.
Zhao Hai had already prepared the sheepskin rafts. Therefore, it was very easy to make them. After Zhao Hai chopped some branches, the sheepskin rafts could be made smoothly.
Zhao Hai only made one sheepskin raft this time. This sheepskin raft wasn't very big and could only accommodate about ten people. However, Zhao Hai was very satisfied. He installed some soft pipes on the sheepskin raft that led directly to the river below. The other end of the soft pipes was connected to a breathing mask that could cover a person's entire head. Moreover, there was a communication device that could communicate with Zhao Hai's group at any time.
This way, after the sheepskin raft entered the water, more than ten people could stay underwater. This way, even if they were discovered by the people of the Divine Mysteries Sect, they wouldn't attract the attention of the cultivators of the Divine Mysteries Sect.
After everything was ready, Zhao Hai turned to everyone and said, "Brothers, we are being chased by two groups of people. Although I don't know how those ghost cultivators found us, I'm sure that they will find us again. Therefore, we can only use this method to move forward. Now, we need twelve people to go underwater. Not only do the people underwater need to keep up with the raft's speed, but they also need to warn the people above the water about the reefs and undercurrents. As for the people above the water, they need to control the raft's speed and direction."
Everyone nodded. Then Li Fei said, "Leader, you stay above. I'll go underwater with the other brothers."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, the people above the water need to pay attention. Change your clothes into the grey warrior robes that Rogue Cultivators wear. Also, change your weapons. You can't all use sabers, that would be too fake. I'm now a merchant and you are Rogue Cultivators that I hired to protect me. Remember that." After saying that, Zhao Hai waved his hand and took out some weapons and clothes.
There were all kinds of weapons. Their clothes were also the kind of warrior clothes that were often worn by rogue cultivators. Most of them were gray, and they looked somewhat reasonable.
Li Fei couldn't help but curiously look at Zhao Hai and said, "Leader, where did you get these things?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I just need to kill more people. Don't be curious about him. Change your clothes." After he said that, Zhao Hai's figure turned and the clothes he was wearing immediately changed. It wasn't a warrior robe, but rather a robe that was commonly worn by merchants. However, it also looked a bit old. Most importantly, Zhao Hai's appearance also changed. He now looked like a thirty year old man with a face full of hardships.
Li Fei and the others stared blankly at Zhao Hai. They didn't expect Zhao Hai to have such a change. This was too shocking.
Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "Alright, don't look anymore. Get ready. According to our previous experience, the Divine Machine Sect should be arriving soon." When everyone heard Zhao Hai, they didn't dare to delay and immediately changed their clothes. Those who were going to enter the water also put on their breathing masks.
Following Zhao Hai's command, everyone boarded the sheepskin raft. After getting on the raft, Zhao Hai released two boxes. These two boxes were sealed. Upon seeing these two boxes, a Cultivator immediately asked, "Leader, what's inside?" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Leader, what's inside?" Zhao Hai didn't say anything.
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Nothing. I'm going to pretend to be a merchant. Naturally, I need to have some goods. These two boxes are the goods."
Everyone nodded. Then Zhao Hai took out a few wooden oars and handed it over to them. Then he said, "Take this and pay attention to the current. Let's go." The group took the oars and looked at each other. Then they shrugged their shoulders and began to row.
It must be said that rowing a raft wasn't an easy task. Fortunately, they were all cultivators. Their control over their strength was much better than ordinary people. Therefore, it didn't take long for them to grasp the technique of rowing a raft. Although they weren't as good as professionals, they still weren't unfamiliar with it.
The current of the Hundred Zhang River was very fast. Therefore, they didn't need to use people to row. The rafts would float down by themselves. What the people on the rafts had to do was to use the oars in their hands to control the speed and direction of the raft. They didn't want the raft to crash into an undercurrent or a reef.
The speed of the rafts was very fast. The cultivators of the Tyrant's Blade Sect had to pay attention to the rafts while also communicating with the people underwater. They were very busy. Therefore, they didn't have time to pay attention to the situation at the Arrow Tree Mountain.
Although they didn't pay attention, Zhao Hai did. Zhao Hai had been paying attention to the situation at the Arrow Tree Mountain. He had already used the Qi Restraining Technique so that he didn't have any characteristics of a cultivator. Therefore, he looked like a weather-beaten merchant who was working hard to earn money to support his family.
Zhao Hai had been paying attention to the situation at the Arrow Tree Mountain. Not long after they entered the Hundred Zhang River, a patrol from the Divine Mystery Sect flew over the Arrow Tree Mountain. However, it was clear that they didn't pay attention to the small raft on the river. Therefore, Zhao Hai's group was able to move forward very smoothly.
They moved forward very quickly. In less than an hour, Zhao Hai saw a group of small black dots appear in the sky above the Arrow Tree Mountain. Zhao Hai knew that the Divine Mystery Sect's patrol was coming again. However, the difference this time was that the black dots were heading towards them.
Zhao Hai had been paying attention to the situation at the Arrow Tree Mountain. When he saw that the other party was coming, he immediately said, "Everyone, pay attention. The Divine Mystery Sect's cultivators are coming. Remember, you are all members of the Ironsword Mercenary Group. I hired you. We come from Yufeng City and are heading towards Green Leaf Town."
After speaking, Zhao Hai said, "Inform the people underwater to pay attention to their breathing. Don't let those fellows discover them. Those fellows are riding demonic beasts. They are very sensitive to smell."
Everyone agreed in a low voice, then they pretended to be fully focused on rowing the raft. However, Zhao Hai's order had already been passed down, so the people underwater had to be extra careful.
Before long, Zhao Hai and the others felt their heads darken. They pretended to be startled and looked up. They saw a group of demonic beasts flying over. There were at least 50 of them. Cultivators were sitting on these demonic beasts with arrows on their backs. It was obvious that they were cultivators from the Divine Mystery Sect.
Zhao Hai and the others immediately stood up and bowed to the cultivators. "Greetings, Sirs!"
The Divine Mystery Sect's cultivators' blade-like gazes swept across everyone's faces. Zhao Hai and the others bowed, not daring to stand up. At this moment, the raft was still moving forward on the 300-meter river. However, due to the loss of control, it had already started to sway unsteadily.
When one of the Divine Mystery Sect's cultivators saw this, he frowned slightly and said, "Alright, who among you is in charge?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai and the others heaved a sigh of relief. Immediately, four people picked up the oars and controlled the raft. At this moment, Zhao Hai also stood up and said to the Divine Mystery Sect's cultivators, "This lowly one is Gu Yueyan. Greetings, Sirs. This lowly one is a merchant from Feather Peak City. These Sirs were hired by this lowly one. They are Sirs from the Iron Sword Mercenary Group."
The cultivator from the Divine Arcanum Sect nodded and said, "What are you using? Why haven't I seen it before? "
Zhao Hai quickly said, "Sirs, this lowly one is using a leather raft. It's a type of short distance transport. This thing can only go down the river. If you want to go against the current, you can only place this raft in the water and have someone drag it. Because this thing isn't very expensive and is very convenient to use, many people use it. Maybe Sirs didn't notice it before."
The Divine Mystery Sect's cultivator didn't say anything. Strictly speaking, the 300-meter river wasn't under their jurisdiction. They rarely came here, so it was normal that they hadn't seen this thing before.
However, he still asked, "Where are you going?"
Zhao Hai immediately said, "Sirs, this lowly one is going to Green Leaf Town to deliver a batch of goods. Because time is tight, this is why we are using this raft."
The Divine Mystery Sect's cultivator nodded. He looked at the two boxes on the raft and said, "What's inside?"
Zhao Hai said, "Sirs, there are two boxes of herbs. Moreover, they are all top quality herbs."
When the Divine Mystery Sect's cultivator heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but be stunned. He said, "Herbs? Open them and take a look. "
Zhao Hai didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly nodded and said, "Yes." Then he opened the two boxes. As soon as the boxes were opened, a burst of medicinal fragrance wafted out. These two boxes weren't very big, but their design was very reasonable. They were divided into small compartments, and each compartment had a jade box. It wasn't known what kind of herbs were inside the jade boxes, but one could smell the medicinal fragrance coming from them.
Whoosh! Before Zhao Hai could react, a jade box flew out of the box and landed in the hands of a Divine Mystery Sect's cultivator. The cultivator didn't stand on ceremony and directly opened the jade box. He couldn't help but be stunned when he opened the jade box. This was because the herbs inside the jade box were actually very ordinary ginseng. However, this ginseng was quite old. It could be considered a good thing for ordinary people or rogue cultivators, but it wasn't very attractive to cultivators from large sects.
However, the Divine Mystery Sect's cultivator also knew that ordinary people who could obtain such herbs were already quite capable. He didn't try to snatch these herbs. After putting the jade box in the box, the Divine Mystery Sect's cultivator called his companions and left.
