Chapter 759 - 759 The Netherland Water
759 The Netherland Water
Jiang Ni and the others followed without hesitation.
The outcome of staying in the oasis was clear. With their strength, they might not be able to hold on for long. It was likely that they would die, but there might be a chance of survival if they board the raft.
The group of eight all boarded the skeleton raft.
The spirit raftman didn’t drive them away. He waved the bamboo stick in his hand, and the skeleton raft went back into the whirlpool. It kept spinning in the whirlpool. It returned to the surface of the lake the first time, but it went straight to the bottom this time.
This vortex was like a tunnel that led to a mysterious place.
The skeleton raft was spinning too fast in the whirlpool, and it transmitted a terrible centrifugal force down as if it was going to throw people off the raft.
“Save me!”
As the force grew stronger, suddenly, Qin Feng’s feet flew up from the ship. It could even be said that he was thrown out. The moment he was thrown, he showed extreme fear on his face. He knew very well that he would not have a good ending after leaving the raft.
He would die. He would certainly die!
“Grab me!” Ye Shan was the closest to him. A long whip appeared in his hand. With a wave of his hand, he wrapped it around Qin Feng’s body.
Qin Feng was pulled back. However, as the skeleton raft continued to drill deeper into the whirlpool at an even faster speed, the even more terrifying centrifugal force shook Ye Shan off the skeleton raft.
This change happened too quickly, so fast that even Li Xiang didn’t have time to react.
The centrifugal force of the skeleton raft forced him to use a thousand-pound drop with all his might to stand firmly on the raft. He continuously removed all kinds of power to prevent himself from being thrown.
It was already too late to save them. He could only watch as the two of them were thrown. Perhaps the spirit raftman could save them, but he did not do so. He didn’t even blink as he watched the two being thrown, swept into the vortex, and disappeared.
As for whether they could survive, no one knew. Maybe they could, maybe they couldn’t.
“The Netherland River is filled with corpses. It’s difficult to cross! Difficult to cross!”
At this moment, the spirit raftman let out a sigh.
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures in the distance suddenly broke through the air from the depths of the whirlpool and landed on the skeleton ship again. They were the two people that had just been thrown out.
At this time, the two of them had no color on their faces. Their faces were pale, and their bodies were emitting a trace of cold air.
“It’s so cold!” said Wushuang Ghost.
“The Yin aura is so heavy. They are already dead. Spirit raft, raft spirit. These are their souls.” The moment Li Xiang saw them, he knew that the two people in front of him were already dead. What appeared here were their souls, the souls in their bodies summoned back by the spirit raftman. They were already dead when they were thrown. It was almost impossible to survive in such an environment.
Looking at their expressions, they were in a dazed state. They had not recovered their minds and looked like they were in a daze.
Rattle…
In the blink of an eye, the raft had already left the whirlpool, and a broad view appeared. A vast and endless river appeared in front of him. They could not see the end of the river, nor could they know how wide it was.
“Only two died. You guys are very lucky.”
The spirit raftman glanced at the crowd and said indifferently while looking at the souls of Qin Feng and Ye Shan.
It seemed that it was already a very lucky thing since only two people had died.
“Where is this place?” Song Yuqing asked.
“The sky here is so dark. Look, the moon in the sky is blood red. Could this place be… The Netherworld?”
Zhou Kun gasped and looked at the void, pointing at the moon with fear.
Li Xiang looked up at the sky. Two blood-red moons were hanging high in the sky, and layers of blood-red moonlight shone down on the world. He felt cold when the moonlight fell on his body.
“The green river water is the real Netherland water. Is this the legendary Netherland River?” Jiang Ni looked around. The river water was green, which was very strange and had a terrifying aura.
According to the legends, the water of the Netherworld River was dark green and glowed in the dark.
Moreover, the Netherworld River was more terrible than the rapids. Life couldn’t cross the Netherworld River. Once they appeared in the sky, they would be pulled down and die in the river.
The Netherworld River had always only existed in the Netherworld.
It was said that there was only one Netherworld River in the world. It was boundless and endless. No one knew where it came from or where it would go. The beginning and the end were unknown. No one had ever known.
“Are we already in the Netherworld? We’re living people. Aren’t living people forbidden from entering the Netherworld? Even if one enters the Netherworld, one will suffer great damage. The body will be eroded by the boundless Yin aura and corrode the flesh, making it difficult to survive. If one stays for too long, one will suffer irreparable damage even if one returns to the mortal world later,” said Song Yuqing with a hint of fear.
She had already started to feel traces of the Yin aura seeping into her body. Even the spirit in her body could not stop this process. It directly fused into her flesh and blood, causing corrosion and destruction.
It was like a normal person who was possessed by a ghost. They would fall sick and become weak.
Not to mention that this was the Netherworld. This was a forbidden land to the living.
“This is the Netherworld River’s… branch!” said the spirit raftman calmly.
The skeleton raft continued to move forward along the river.
“Look, corpses! So many corpses!”
Li Tianci suddenly screamed.
Everyone looked over. At some point in time, pale corpses had floated up to the surface of the river. There were men and women, old and young. Some of them were intact, while others were incomplete. There were all kinds of corpses, densely packed and uncountable. They were all floating on the river.
“Why are there so many corpses in this river? Netherworld River. Is this the so-called Netherworld River?” Song Yuqing’s eyes were dazed. Regardless of whether she had become a cultivator or not, she was still a woman. She wouldn’t feel good to see so many corpses.
“It’s said that the Netherworld River can connect to countless ancient battlefields, leading the corpses of the dead in the Netherworld. The Netherworld River leads to a mysterious place. It was hard to predict and estimate. As for where the corpses came from, I’m not too sure either. Maybe the spirit raftman knows,” Jiang Ni took a deep breath and said slowly.
He sized up the Netherworld River. Even though this river was only a branch of the Netherworld River, it was still extremely vast. Its width was comparable to the largest lake in his previous life. Moreover, there was no way for life to float on the surface of the river. Once they fell from the skeleton raft, they would sink to the bottom of the river.
They would only become corpses when they reappeared.
