As long as the boat floated on the Netherworld River, they would be able to travel forward. Although the willow trees on both sides of the river would still wave their branches and attack, the space above the river was spacious.
As long as they traveled along the center of the river, there would be no more than three willow trees that could extend their branches to this direction.
After observing the terrain, Yan Guilai returned his consciousness to his human body and rushed straight to Nanming City's maritime department to retrieve a treasure ship.
The so-called treasure ship was currently the greatest masterpiece of mankind. Its entire body was made of Gloomy Wood, and the entire ship was a treasure weapon.
Although the treasure ship could only be used to transport goods and couldn't be used for battle, in reality, Yan Guilai didn't need the treasure ship to fight.
After all, what they were facing this time was the Lingmu Emperor's willow tree clone. Not to mention a treasure weapon, even an emperor weapon wouldn't be able to withstand it.
In a remote area, after Yan Guilai stored the treasure ship into his dimensional space, he once again returned his consciousness to the python's body.
He directly released the treasure ship from the Netherworld River. Then … Yan Guilai, Yuan Hong, and Niu Huai all jumped onto the ship at the same time. They followed the Netherworld River and sailed downstream.
To humans, this treasure ship was definitely a super-large ship. It was humanity's largest super ship.
But to Yan Guilai, Niu Huai, and Yuan Hong, this ship could only be considered a small dinghy.
Yan Guilai's eighteen meter long body coiled around the treasure ship's cabin. He steered the treasure ship and braved the wind and waves.
As for Yuan Hong and Niu Huai, they each held a Wrought Steel Rod and a Steel Rod. They stood on the deck, ready to face the attacks of the willow branches on both sides of the river at any time.
As they moved forward, soon … the treasure ship entered the Willow River.
Indeed, just as Yan Guilai had analyzed, the willow trees on both sides of the river waved their willow branches at the same time, whistling as they whipped at the treasure ship …
Looking at the incomparably sharp willow branches that were as fast as lightning, Yan Guilai couldn't help but frown.
Once struck by these willow branches, the treasure ship wouldn't even be able to withstand a single blow and would be torn to pieces.
It was clear that Yuan Hong and Niu Huai were well aware of this situation. Thus … with a roar towards the sky, Yuan Hong and Niu Huai swung their iron rods at the same time and smashed them towards the willow branch …
Amidst the clanking sounds, Yuan Hong and Niu Zhen waved the iron rods in their hands into a ball. All of the willow branches that were sent flying over were all sent flying back.
Whether it was Yuan Hong or Niu Huai, both of them were strong enough to fight against the Emperor and not be at a disadvantage.
Now that they had the advantage of weapons, they had nothing to fear even if they had to face the three thousand willow branches.
More importantly, in terms of the Five Elements, metal restrains wood. The weapons in the hands of those two fellows were completely made of metal. They had a natural restraining effect on wood-type willow branches.
Under the attack of the metal rods, those slender willow branches were all shattered. In an instant, wood fragments swirled in the air.
Along the way, although the willow branches on both sides of the river kept attacking, with Yuan Hong and Niu Huai around, the treasure ship was still very stable.
After traveling for a short while, finally … those willow trees seemed to have realized that just relying on their willow branches wouldn't be able to harm the treasure ship and the people on board.
In the next moment … the willow trees on both sides of the river shook violently. The willow branches that filled the sky lightly floated into the air.
Looking at the willow branches that filled the sky, Yan Guilai didn't care at first. After all … the willow branches were light and didn't have the slightest bit of power to speak of.
But in the next moment … the willow branches in the air started to burn fiercely after absorbing the Fire of the Sun.
Millions of willow branches instantly turned into millions of fireballs that whistled as they bombarded the treasure ship.
Not good …
Seeing this scene, Yan Guilai couldn't help but shout. Although the willow branches didn't contain the True Fire of the Sun, they were only ordinary Fire of Wood.
However, although the temperature of these flames wasn't high … the impact of these flames wasn't low. Once these fireballs were allowed to bombard the treasure ship, even if they didn't injure anyone, the treasure ship's hull wouldn't be able to withstand them.
Helpless, Yan Guilai opened his huge mouth. The huge python's mouth swallowed all the fireballs that were bombarding the ship into the dimensional space.
If the willow branches that had transformed into flames were controlled by the Emperor, then because the flames contained the Emperor's spirit and soul, they wouldn't have been able to be swallowed into the dimensional space.
However, it was clear that at this moment, the Lingmu Emperor was no longer in this world. Thus … the willow branches that had transformed into flames didn't have any spirit or soul power.
Like a river flowing into the sea, the flames that filled the sky whistled as they surged into Yan Guilai's huge mouth and disappeared.
In this way, Yan Guilai resisted the flames that filled the sky, while Yuan Hong and Niu Huai dealt with the willow branches on both sides of the river. The treasure ship flew forward. In the blink of an eye, it had traveled thousands of meters …
Time ticked by, second by second. After an unknown period of time and several thousand miles of travel, finally … the river ahead of them began to widen.
Because the river had widened, the willow branches on both sides of the river were no longer able to endanger the treasure ship.
Faced with this, Yan Guilai, Yuan Hong, and Niu Huai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, their happiness didn't last for long. The river in front of them suddenly surged. Thick and solid tentacles rose from the river and swept towards the treasure ship.
Yuan Hong and Niu Huai couldn't help but smile bitterly. They once again brandished their clubs and attacked wildly.
At the same time, Yan Guilai didn't dare to be negligent. His body curled up and his body dived into the river. At the same time, thousands of tentacles drilled out from the mud under the river and attacked the bottom of the treasure ship.
With a bitter smile, Yan Guilai summoned the Seven Star Ancient Sword. The sharp sword danced in the river and cut off all the tentacles, causing them to fall into the mud.
It was clear that these tentacles were actually the roots of the willow tree that absorbed the water of the Underworld River. These tentacles were long, thick, and incomparably tough.
If not for the sharpness of the Seven Star Ancient Sword, these tentacles would have been extremely difficult to deal with.
Resisting the dense willow tree roots with all their strength, the treasure ship continued to move forward. A few days passed … and they traveled thousands of miles again.
Finally, the river in front of them widened again. It seemed that they had entered an underground lake.
From afar, Yan Gui Lai could see a huge island in the middle of the lake. On the island, there was a huge palace standing there proudly.
Although Yan Guilai had never seen the Lingmu Emperor's palace, Yan Guilai immediately confirmed that this palace should be the Lingmu Emperor's palace!
Soon, Yan Guilai steered the treasure ship and gently leaned against the edge of the huge island.
Looking around, the huge island was filled with willow trees. There were no less than three thousand of them.
After getting off the treasure ship, Yan Guilai, Yuan Hong, and Niu Huai encountered a fierce attack as soon as they stepped onto the island.
This attack was different from the one on the Underworld River. This time … Yan Guilai and the other two weren't attacked by the willow branches, nor were they whipped by the roots. Instead, they were attacked by the entire willow tree at full force.
Upon closer inspection, the three thousand willow trees were arranged in a neat formation in front of them.
Below the tree trunks, the roots of the three thousand willow trees were exposed. As the roots wriggled, they moved as if they were flying.
As soon as they got close, the thousands of whip-like roots coiled over like agile snakes. Once they were entangled, it was extremely difficult to break free.
