Hu Xin also knew that this wasn't the time to think too much. He took Little Crane Grass and walked down the ship's hold. Everyone on the ship, regardless of whether they were men or women, automatically opened a path for them. Everyone on the ship was a member of the Hu Clan, moreover, they were the most loyal members. They were willing to sacrifice everything for the Hu Clan at any time. Now that they saw Hu Xin and Little Crane Grass walking down the ship, they knew what the two wanted to do. They didn't stop them, on the contrary, they opened a path for them.
Hu Xin didn't say anything. He was very clear that if the enemy went all out tonight, no one on the ship would survive. Although he said that Hu Quan didn't need to resist, he knew that in order to buy time for him to escape, it was impossible for Hu Xin to not resist. Not only would they resist, they would also resist fiercely.
In other words, there might be no survivors on the ship. However, Hu Xin didn't have any other choice. For the safety of Little Crane Grass, he must leave. This was because when he left the clan, he received an order that even if he died, he must ensure Little Crane Grass's safety.
Hu Xin and Little Crane Grass continued to walk down. When they reached the cabin below, Little Crane Grass suddenly saw a pile of bamboo poles. These bamboo poles were wrapped in iron, and could be considered as a weapon on the ship. If someone wanted to use the fire ship to burn their ship, they could use these bamboo poles to stop the fire ship from burning their ship. All of these wooden poles were very long, thick, and sturdy. They were also wrapped in iron.
When Little Crane Grass saw these poles, he immediately pulled Hu Xin and said, "Brother Hu Xin, take a bamboo pole with you."
Hu Xin didn't understand what Little Crane Grass meant, but he still nodded. He took out a relatively short bamboo pole and held it in his hand. Then the two ran to a room at the bottom of the ship.
After arriving at the room, Hu Xin put down the bamboo pole and said to Little Crane Grass, "Crane Grass, in a while, I'll open the water door and let the water enter this room. We'll go out from the water door and enter the river. Then we'll swim downstream until we reach a safe place. Since there's a battle going on up there, they shouldn't notice the movements on the water."
Little Crane Grass nodded, but he still said, "Brother Hu Xin, we won't go downstream. Instead, we'll go upstream. If the enemy doesn't find us, they would certainly think that we went downstream. When the time comes, they would certainly send people downstream to look for us. On the contrary, if we go upstream, they might not be able to find us for a while. At that time, we can ask the clan to send people to support us."
Hearing Little Crane Grass's words, Hu Xin felt that it was reasonable. He nodded and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you. But what do you want to do with this pole?"
Little Crane Grass replied, "I want to use it to breathe underwater. I can't stay underwater for a long time without breathing. If we cut the pole and hollow out the joints, we can use the pole to breathe underwater. This way, I wouldn't need to come up to the surface and would be able to swim very far underwater."
Hu Xin's eyes lit up, then he shook his head and said, "Right, the pole is too thick."
Little Crane Grass looked at the pole, it was indeed too thick. He couldn't put it in his mouth, so he immediately said, "Then let's open up all the joints and seal the two ends. This way, we can still store a lot of air inside. If we can't breathe underwater, then we can take in the air from the pole. This way, we can still support ourselves for a while."
Hu Xin nodded, then he grabbed the pole and looked at it. He discovered that there weren't any cracks on the pole, and the iron bag on one end was also very tight. It was impossible for air to leak out. Hu Xin immediately turned the pole to the other end. Then he moved his hand as a green qi appeared in his hand. This qi rushed into the pole and opened up all the joints. Then Hu Xin tore a piece of his clothes and blocked the other end of the pole. Then he went to the cabin where there was a turntable. Hu Xin turned his head to Little Crane Grass and said, "Crane Grass, move back." Little Crane Grass nodded obediently and turned around to move back.
Hu Xin grabbed the turntable and used it. The turntable slowly started to move. Before long, Hu Xin used his strength to push the turntable upwards, causing a stream of water to rush in. Fortunately, Hu Xin was a cultivator. If he was an ordinary person, then he would've been injured.
Hu Xin opened the water door, allowing the water to slowly enter the cabin. At the same time, the sounds of fighting outside became even more intense. At the same time, the Grassy Ship also shook a little.
Before long, half of the water had been injected into the cabin, but the water had stopped flowing. Little Crane Grass looked at the ship and saw that the cabin was sealed very tightly. At this time, the water couldn't flow out. Because of this, the Grassy ship wasn't completely silent. Because of this, the water couldn't be completely injected into the ship.
Hu Xin didn't care about this, he turned his head to Little Crane Grass and said, "Crane Grass, let's go." Then he pulled Little Crane Grass with one hand and grabbed the pole with the other. Then they went through the water door and dived into the river.
Little Crane Grass knew how to swim, but this was his first time diving. When he first entered the water, he was a little confused, but he quickly calmed down.
Little Crane Grass didn't know why he was able to calm down so easily. He could feel that at this moment, he seemed to have become another person. He was calm and collected. It seems like this matter wasn't difficult for him at all. He didn't know what was going on, but he knew that being able to maintain this state was definitely a good thing.
The two of them dived into the dark river. After sensing the direction of the current, Hu Xinyi caught the Little Crane Grass and let it lay on his back. Little Crane Grass immediately understood what Hu Xin meant. He lied on Hu Xin's back and didn't move at all. Instead, he tightly held onto Hu Xin's shoulder.
When Hu Xinyi saw that the Little Crane Grass had settled down, with a thought, a faint layer of green light appeared outside his body. Then, he used his hands and feet to paddle against the current and went straight up.
Little Crane Grass was lying on Hu Xin's back. He didn't feel very good, especially since he couldn't breathe. This made his vision turn dark. But at this time, he was still very calm. He could feel that although there was Nature Energy flowing on Hu Xin's body, it was very weak. Even with his sensitivity, he could only feel it. He was still lying on Hu Xin's back. He believed that those who were far away from Hu Xin wouldn't be able to feel the Nature Energy on Hu Xin's body.
Little Crane Grass appreciated Hu Xin's approach. They didn't know how strong their enemy was. If they let the enemy feel Nature Energy in the river, then they would be able to discover them. Now, it was just right, the enemy couldn't discover them.
With the support of Nature's force, Hu Xin's diving speed was very fast. He kept diving for nearly a minute, and just when Little Crane Grass felt that it was about to faint, Hu Xin stopped. Then he picked up the bamboo pole and wrapped one end of it with Nature's force while the other hand hit the cloth. Although the cloth was removed, because of the Nature's force, the water didn't flow in.
Hu Xin immediately placed the bamboo pole near Little Crane Grass's mouth. Little Crane Grass felt that there was no more water near his mouth, allowing him to breathe freely. He immediately took two deep breaths and then moved his mouth away from the bamboo pole.
Hu Xin looked at Little Crane Grass and knew that he had recovered. He let out a sigh of relief. Then he also took two deep breaths before he covered the bamboo pole. Then he continued to swim forward. After doing this several times, they were no longer able to breathe inside the bamboo pole. The two of them then looked back and saw that they were already very far away from the battlefield. It was impossible for the enemy to discover them.
Hu Xin took Little Crane Grass and swam towards the shore. Before long, the two of them reached the shore. This was a barren land, there was no one around. After the two of them reached the shore, Hu Xin squatted down and said to Little Crane Grass, "Crane Grass, come up. We'll immediately go to Emerald City."
Little Crane Grass didn't ask anything as he got on Hu Xin's back. Hu Xin immediately took large strides towards Emerald City. His speed was very fast, but his control of Nature Energy was very good. At the same time, he was also very careful.
Fortunately, there weren't a lot of villages on both sides of the Wu Ling River. There were only some weeds and trees. Because the Wu Ling River had experienced a flood before, nobody wanted to live too close to the river.
While the two of them were hurrying forward, they suddenly heard voices in front of them. Hu Xin immediately stopped and squatted down in the weeds. The sky was very dark, and the weeds here were very tall. It would be very difficult for the enemy to discover them if they squatted down.
At this time, the voices of the people talking reached their ears. One of them said, "Big Brother, did the family receive some news this time? Otherwise, why would they deal with the Hu Family's Emerald City? Could it be that there's an important person on the Emerald City? "
"I don't know. In any case, I heard that there's a very promising disciple of the Hu Family on the Emerald City. In the past two years, the Hu Family has been suppressing the family. This made the upper echelons of the family very angry. Therefore, the family decided to teach the Hu Family a lesson and let them know that our Liu Family isn't to be trifled with."
"But Big Brother, wouldn't this anger the Hu Family? If we really anger the Hu Family, then I'm afraid that it wouldn't be good for our family. The Hu Family is very powerful. "
"They are not as strong as we thought. Otherwise, why did the Hu Clan only suppress our Liu Clan when Liu Ying attacked them two years ago and did not directly attack us? Humph, I think that the Hu Clan only has an undeserved reputation. In fact, there is nothing to be afraid of. Everyone, let's hurry up and look around carefully in a while to prevent any of the Hu Clan's people from escaping. This time, we must not let anyone from the Hu Clan escape." Then a few shouts were heard. Then a bright spot appeared. A group of more than ten people came straight towards them. These people were all Soul Beasts. They were all holding torches in their hands.
Upon seeing the torches in the hands of the other party, Hu Xin's expression couldn't help but change. Although the two of them were squatting in the grass, this place wasn't very safe. This was because the grass on the riverside wasn't very dense. If the other party didn't have torches, then they might not be able to find them. However, with torches, it was very likely that they would be discovered in the first place.
