"If you don't board, you'll stay here forever. If you board, you might die." The ferryman looked at Yi Tianxing and said slowly.
"You mean, if you board, you might survive."
Yi Tianxing keenly caught the deeper meaning in his words.
Staying here and not being able to find a way out, facing all the strange things in the Devil Continent, who knows, I might really stay here forever, and be buried here. They had only just appeared in the oasis, and no one knew how many more dangerous creatures there were in the oasis if they continued like this. Perhaps there were even more terrifying things hidden here, just that they hadn't appeared yet.
If that was the case, they would definitely die if they stayed.
However, if they left with this mysterious ferryman, they would also be full of unknowns. No one knew where he would take them. What if it was really the netherworld?
"According to legend, the world is divided into Yin and Yang. Yin is the netherworld, and Yang is the world of living. The netherworld accommodates the dead. Death doesn't mean the end. In the netherworld, it's a new beginning, a rebirth of life. There are messengers in the netherworld who travel between the Yin and Yang to receive the souls of the dead. Therefore, they are also known as the ferryman of souls. They should be referring to people like you. "
Jiang Ni suddenly said.
"You do know a lot."
The ferryman looked at Jiang Ni and said coldly, "You cultivate the Dao of Feng Shui. You are a Feng Shui Master. Be careful not to die young. "The man's eyes were very sharp.
He seemed to have seen through Jiang Ni's identity at a glance.
A Feng Shui Master had a unique aura. In the eyes of many experts, this aura was like a beacon in the dark. It was easy to determine their identity. Of course, with the ability of a Feng Shui Master, it was not difficult to hide one's identity. Unless one's cultivation level was too high, it would be difficult to detect. But this ferryman could see through it at a glance.
From this, it could be seen that his strength was unfathomable.
"This is a restricted area. I can't stay here for too long. You decide whether you want to board."
The ferryman looked at the void and the oasis and said indifferently.
His expression seemed to contain a trace of fear towards the oasis.
Of course, if one didn't look closely, they wouldn't be able to notice it. No expression could be seen on his face.
"Since there's a Soul Ferryman, it's rare to get a chance to share a boat with him. I'll get on this boat."
Yi Tianxing took a deep breath and said resolutely.
There was a hint of determination in his voice.
"I'll go wherever my lord goes," Peerless Ghost said without hesitation.
"Before boarding, I'd like to ask, where did the people who entered this oasis go? Are there any survivors?"
Yi Tianxing suddenly asked.
"No, this is … a life forbidden zone!!"
The Soul Ferryman said with a faint smile.
Just the fact that it was a forbidden zone for life was enough to show how terrifying this oasis was. This was the end of all life, the world of death. Entering here was tantamount to welcoming death.
"Let's get on the boat."
Yi Tianxing took a step forward and quickly appeared on the skeleton ship.
This skeleton ship was more of a boat than a ship. It could even be said that it was a raft made up of all sorts of bones. It floated on the surface of the water and looked extremely horrifying. Human skulls could be seen on it, hollow and ferocious. Anyone who was a little timid would feel goosebumps when they stepped on it. They would be terrified.
They would be terrified.
Jiang Ni and the others saw this and stepped on it without hesitation.
Those who stayed on the oasis knew that with their strength, they might not be able to hold on for long. It was very likely that they would die. They might have a chance of survival if they stepped on the raft.
The eight of them all stepped on the skeleton ship.
The Soul Ferryman did not chase them away when he saw this. He waved the bamboo stick in his hand and the skeleton ship dived into the whirlpool again. It kept spinning in the whirlpool. The first time, it returned to the surface of the lake, but this time, it went straight to the bottom of the lake.
The whirlpool was like a tunnel that led to a mysterious place.
The skeleton ship spun too fast in the whirlpool. As it went down, it transmitted a terrifying force that seemed to be able to throw people off the raft.
"Ah, save me."
As the force became stronger and stronger, Qin Tian's feet flew up from the ship. It could even be said that he was directly thrown out. The moment he was thrown out, the fear on his face was clearly visible. It was very clear that once he was thrown out and left the ship, his fate would definitely not be good. .
He would die, he would definitely die.
"Catch him."
Ye Qing was the closest to him. A long whip appeared in her hand and she wrapped it around Qin Tian's body with a wave of her hand.
Qin Tian was pulled, but as the skeleton ship dived into the depths of the whirlpool at a faster speed, the terrifying centrifugal force threw Ye Qing away from the skeleton ship. They flew out of the ship.
This scene was too fast, so fast that even Yi Tianxing couldn't react.
The centrifugal force emitted by the skeleton ship forced him to desperately use the Thousand Ton Fall to keep his feet glued to the skeleton ship. He kept unloading all kinds of forces. He kept himself from being thrown out.
It was too late to save them.
He could only watch as the two were thrown out. Perhaps the Ferryman of Souls could save them, but he didn't do anything. He didn't even bat an eyelid as he allowed the two of them to be tossed into the whirlpool and disappear.
As for whether they could survive, no one knew.
Maybe they could, maybe they couldn't.
"The road to the underworld is filled with corpses. Ferry!! "
At this moment, the Ferryman of Souls let out a sigh.
As soon as the voice fell, two figures suddenly broke through the air from the depths of the whirlpool and landed back on the skeleton ship.
Upon closer inspection, it was Qin Tian and Ye Qing who had just been thrown out.
As for the two, there was no longer any blood on their faces. Their faces were pale and their bodies emitted a trace of cold air, giving people a strange feeling.
"So cold!!"
Peerless Ghost couldn't help but murmur.
"The Yin energy is so strong, they're already dead. Ferryman of Souls, ferryman of souls. These are their souls. " Yi Tianxing knew at first glance that the two in front of him were already dead. The ones that appeared here were souls, the souls inside their bodies, summoned back by the Ferryman of Souls. They were already dead when they were thrown out. It was almost impossible to survive in such an environment.
Judging from their blank expressions, it was obvious that they were still in a confused state and had yet to regain their senses.
They were muddle-headed and only had one instinct.
"Whoosh!!
In the blink of an eye, the raft had already escaped from the whirlpool, and their field of vision had also widened. Upon closer inspection, they could see a boundless, continuous river with no end in sight and immeasurably wide expanse appearing before their eyes.
"Only two died. You're very lucky."
The Soul Ferryman glanced at the crowd, then at the souls of Qin Tian and his companion, and spat out a sentence.
It seemed that only two people had died, and that was already a very fortunate thing.
"Where are we?" Song Yuting asked quickly.
"The sky here is so dark. Look, there's a blood-red moon in the sky. Could this be … the nether world?! "
Zhou Gan sucked in a breath of cold air and pointed at the moon in the sky in fear.
Yi Tianxing looked toward the sky, and was astonished to see two blood-colored moons hanging in the sky. They illuminated the surroundings and emitted layers of blood-red moonlight that sprinkled down on the world. When it landed on the body, one could naturally feel a cold aura.
"The green river water, this is the real Yellow Springs. Could this river be the legendary Yellow Springs Sacred River?" Jiang Ni looked around and saw the river water around him. The river water was a jade-green color and looked really weird. There was a terrifying aura to it.
According to the legends, the water of the Yellow Springs Sacred River was green in color and emitted a faint light in the darkness. Moreover, the Yellow Springs Sacred River was even more terrifying than the Ruo Water. Living beings could not fly above the Yellow Springs Sacred River. Once they appeared in the sky, they would be pulled down and die in the Yellow Springs Sacred River.
Moreover, the Yellow Spring River had always existed only in the nether world. According to the legends, there was only one Yellow Springs Sacred River in the world. It was boundless and endless. No one knew where it came from or where it was going. The beginning and the end were all unknown. No one had ever known.
"Are we already in the nether world? We are living beings. Didn't they say that living beings can't enter the nether world? Even if we enter the nether world, we will suffer great damage. Our bodies will be corroded by the boundless Yin Qi and it will be difficult for us to survive. If we stay here for too long, even if we return to the world of the living, we will suffer irreparable damage. "
Song Yuting said with a hint of fear.
She had already begun to feel traces of Yin Qi seeping into her body. This process could not be stopped even by the True Essence in her body. It directly fused into her flesh and blood. It caused erosion and destruction.
It was like a normal person being possessed by a ghost. They would fall seriously ill and become weak.
Not to mention, this was the nether world. For living beings, this was a forbidden area.
"This is … a branch of the Yellow Springs Sacred River!!"
The Soul Ferryman said calmly.
The Skeleton Ship flowed along the river.
"Look, corpses. So many corpses."
At this moment, Li Tianming suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
As the crowd turned their gazes toward the river, they were astonished to see pale white corpses floating to the surface of the river. There were men and women, old and young among these corpses. Some of them were in perfect condition, and some of them were mutilated. There were all kinds of corpses, densely packed together. There were too many to count. All of them were floating along the river.
