As long as he pushed off the surface of the river once more, he would reach the shore safely. Thinking of this, the Martial Grand Master revealed a joyful smile.
"Hu Chi!"
Just as he landed on the water for the second time, a black tentacle suddenly shot out from the water and wrapped around his legs. That Martial Grand Master did not panic and reacted very quickly. He chopped out with the saber in his hand and the black tentacle immediately broke apart.
"Pu! Pu! Pu! "
The Martial Grand Master regained his freedom and leaped into the air again. However, before he could fly up, countless black tentacles shot out from the water and pulled him into the water.
A startled cry came out of his mouth as he struggled with all his might. However, he was still dragged into the river. Chewing sounds could be heard.
"Gu Nong! Gu Nong! "
Bubbles kept appearing on the surface of the river as pools of blood flowed out. The crowd could vaguely see a strange black fish floating out of the water. Its back was covered with tentacles of various sizes.
"I don't know which bastard broke the bridge. It's over. There are so many Terror Fishes. None of us can cross."
"If we want to cross, we need to be at least a Martial Saint. Otherwise, if we do not hold on and fly over, we will be caught by the tentacles of the Terror Fishes."
Seeing another Martial Grand Master die miserably, the crowd at the shore no longer dared to try. They all cursed the person who broke the bridge.
Rushing footsteps could be heard. Zhang He and Zhou Hongyu led a large group of cultivators over. Xiao Chen quickly hid himself in the crowd.
When the two of them saw the bridge was broken, they did not hesitate and shouted loudly as they flew to the other side of the river. They leaped high into the air and when they landed on the water, they kicked up countless waves.
"Pu! Pu! Pu! "
Countless tentacles flew towards the two of them in the air. The two of them sent out resplendent sword Qi and shattered these tentacles.
After a while, the two of them landed firmly on the other side of the river under the gaze of the crowd. Then, they quickly rushed in the direction of Beast King Valley.
"Damn it! These two bastards, they said they would bring us to Beast King Valley. Now, they actually ran away without any sense of loyalty, "the cultivators that followed the two cursed out when they saw the situation.
The person next to him said angrily, "What are you scolding? You're not good people either. You're just using each other. There's nothing to say."
"Who are you cursing? Say it again if you have the guts."
Because they could not cross the river, the cultivators on the riverbank were all very angry. Since they could not agree with each other, it quickly turned into a fight.
Xiao Chen couldn't be bothered with this group of people. Just as he was about to cross the river, a black dot suddenly appeared upstream. It was speeding towards them at an incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, it appeared in everyone's field of vision.
That black dot was actually a black ship. The people on the shore were shocked and stopped making noise. He felt that it was extremely strange. There were many water monsters in the river, so why would a boat suddenly appear upstream? Where did this boat come from?
"To all the new and old customers of Liushang Pavilion, your Lord Fatty is here to save you once again." A familiar figure appeared on the bow of the ship. Kim Tae-ho stood at the corner of the ship, holding a golden folding fan in his hand as he spoke with a smile.
"Bang!" The bow of the black ship stopped by the riverbank. A group of cultivators were wild with joy as they rushed towards the bow of the ship. It was like they saw a life-saving straw.
"Chi! Chi! "
Suddenly, arrows shot down from the bow of the ship. The cultivators below were startled and they all retreated to avoid them. Fatso smiled faintly, "If you want to cross the river, each person has to pay ten thousand silver taels. Otherwise, there's no need to talk. After all, this Lord Fatty is just a businessman."
"Ten thousand silver taels? Are you robbing us? It's just a trip across the river."
"Indeed, even robbing us is not as ruthless as you."
Although the people below were clamoring ferociously, they still paid up in the end. Xiao Chen counted carefully. There were about three to four hundred cultivators at the riverbank. Just from this trip alone, Fatso had earned more than four million silver taels.
Xiao Chen had already expected that Fatso would rush to Savage Forest. However, he did not expect to meet him here. It was unexpected, but within reason. Xiao Chen suspected that Fatso was the one who broke the bridge.
In the blink of an eye, all the people at the riverbank had left. Fatso stood at the bow of the ship and looked at Xiao Chen. He smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, come on up. I know you are out of money. This Brother Fatty will give you a ride for free."
Xiao Chen did not say anything. He leaped into the air and landed on the bow of the ship. The ship immediately turned around and moved quickly to the other side. The huge ship broke through the waves, causing the fish in the water to avoid it.
Kim Tae-ho parted the crowd and led Xiao Chen to the ship's hold. He said with some pride, "How is it, Brother Xiao? My ship is not bad, right?"
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, "Although it cannot compare to a King Grade Secret Treasure like the Black Royal Warship, it is at least a Spirit Grade Secret Treasure."
Fatso was startled in his heart. He smiled and said, "Brother Xiao's eyes are really sharp. How about I bring you to Beast King Valley? Of course, with our friendship, I will not charge you a fee."
Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat. Indeed, he had guessed correctly. When he saw the ship coming from upstream, he had already thought of it. Aside from entering the water from the sky, there was no other way to enter the water.
"Can you bring me to the control room to take a look?" Xiao Chen asked. He really wanted to know if this legendary Secret Treasure was the same as the Magic Treasures recorded in the Compendium of Cultivation.
After Xiao Chen spoke, he took out a bottle of Golden Holy Beast blood from his Universe Ring and placed it in front of Fatso.
Kim Tae-ho opened it and took a whiff. He smiled and said, "Sure, there is no problem. However, time is limited. Don't stay here for too long."
Fatso stretched out his hand and sent out a shockwave. It struck an unknown place and a large hole immediately appeared in the floor of the hold. Xiao Chen and Fatso instantly fell into the hole.
Xiao Chen turned around in the air and landed firmly. He immediately felt a familiar aura around him. He quickly closed his eyes and released his Spiritual Sense.
A huge formation appeared in Xiao Chen's mind. Every line of the formation was hidden in various parts of the ship, giving off a green radiance.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and followed Fatso to the center of the formation. Finally, he saw the secret of the core of the Secret Treasure. There were many Spirit Stones placed around the center of the formation. A few old men were controlling the flow of the Spiritual Energy on the ship.
Indeed, this Secret Treasure is a Magic Treasure, Xiao Chen thought in astonishment. However, the people of today seemed to have forgotten how to operate a Secret Treasure. They actually needed Spirit Stones to activate it.
"Let's go, Brother Xiao has already reached the shore."
Xiao Chen was lost in thought when he was interrupted by Fatso. He discovered that the true function of this Secret Treasure was not even a tenth of its power. It was only used as a transportation tool. He felt that it was a pity.
The two of them returned to the bow of the ship. When the group of cultivators saw the shore, they quickly jumped off. After everyone jumped off, Fatso waved his hand and the ship soared into the sky, heading for Beast King Valley.
"Damn it, it is actually a Secret Treasure. This Fatso is too hateful."
"He took more than ten thousand silver taels from us. Why didn't he send us directly to Beast King Valley?" When the people below saw the situation, they all started cursing.
High in the sky, Fatso stood at the bow of the ship. He felt very satisfied. He spread his arms wide open and welcomed the cool breeze. He said, "This feeling of soaring in the sky is really extraordinary."
"Hu!"
Just at this moment, a large golden ship flew by quickly. It brushed past Fatso's ship and created a whirlwind. It nearly blew Fatso off the ship.
"Dong!"
Just as Fatso was about to curse, a shadow suddenly flew over his head. A wine cup fell from above and smashed into Fatso's head.
Xiao Chen looked at the warship that flew over Fatso's head. He saw Hua Yunfei's figure on it. Indeed, the Hua Clan's King Grade Secret Treasure had appeared.
"Damn it, when this Fat Lord obtains an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure, I will kill you all. Damn it," Fatso cursed as he rubbed his head.
Just at this moment, Xiao Chen noticed that there seemed to be a figure standing on a tree below. He felt that the person looked familiar. He extended his Spiritual Sense and discovered that it was Chu Chaoyun.
Chu Chaoyun carried a sword on his back, and his long hair fluttered in the wind. He stood on the tree branch and looked into the distance. Xiao Chen felt it was strange. Those noble clans brought a large number of people and even mobilized their King Grade Secret Treasures.
The strongest sect in Dongming Province, the Misty Sword Sect, only sent Chu Chaoyun. Furthermore, he came alone. This did not make sense.
Suddenly, Chu Chaoyun turned his head and revealed a faint smile at Xiao Chen. It was like he was greeting him. Xiao Chen was startled, Could he have seen me? I only scanned him with my Spiritual Sense. Even a Martial Saint would not be able to detect it.
Suddenly, a sword of light appeared under Chu Chaoyun's feet. It carried him through the air, flying quickly towards Fatso's warship.
"Weng!"
The sword of light disappeared and Chu Chaoyun landed firmly on the bow of the warship. Xiao Chen felt a strange sense of danger and took three steps back.
Chu Chaoyun smiled faintly and jumped down from the bow. He said to Xiao Chen, "Brother Xiao, there is no need to be nervous. I am just here to hitch a ride."
Fatso smiled coldly at the side and said, "Whose warship do you think this is? Do you think you can hitch a ride as you please?" Fatso had just suffered a series of setbacks and was in a bad mood. When he saw Chu Chaoyun arrive uninvited, he immediately made things difficult for him.
Chu Chaoyun smiled faintly and walked over to Fatso. He handed over a stack of gold banknotes and said, "Your Jin Clan is full of businessmen. You would not reject a business that is delivered to your doorstep, right?"
Kim Tae-ho, who normally treated banknotes like his father, did not show any change in his expression. He snorted coldly and took the banknotes.
Xiao Chen was astonished. He thought to himself, This Fatso must have suffered at the hands of Chu Chaoyun. Otherwise, he would not have such an expression.
They flew towards Beast King Valley in silence. Along the way, Chu Chaoyun appeared very calm. Occasionally, he would chat with Xiao Chen, giving off a very relaxed feeling.
However, the more relaxed he was, the more Xiao Chen felt that something was wrong. He did not know why, but the feeling that this Chu Chaoyun gave him was much more horrifying than Hua Yunfei.
"Boom! Boom! "
Suddenly, there were explosions in the sky in front. The three people at the bow looked forward and saw that the Guiyi Marquis's Golden Warship was fighting with a flock of huge birds.
The huge birds had three heads. When they spread their wings, they were tens of meters wide. Of the three heads, one breathed fire, one breathed poison, and one breathed cold Qi. They were all very ferocious.
