The night was getting dark, and a small boat was floating on the dark river. If it weren't for the occasional splash of water from the oar that sparkled with silver light, at first glance, others might even think that the small boat was floating in the dark night.
"Senior Mu, how far is it from Sanchawu?" Wu Hao wiped his sweat and asked aloud.
Although there is still moonlight in the sky, dark clouds pass by from time to time, making the originally unclear night even darker and duller, which makes people feel uneasy. At first, everyone wished that there would be more dark clouds, completely covering their departing figures, but under the current situation, they wished that the moon in the sky would be lowered a few points.
The sky was gloomy, making the dense forest look very strange. Occasionally, there would be strange crashing sounds, which undoubtedly added to the tense atmosphere, especially Mu Fengchun, whose face was even more ugly and exaggerated.
"Senior Mu?" Seeing that Mu Fengchun didn't reply, Wu Hao thought he just didn't hear. He stirred the oar a few times and turned to look at Mu Fengchun. He was shocked when he saw Mu Fengchun's face was bloodless and his lips were white. One jump: "Senior Mu, are you okay?"
Mu Fengchun closed his eyes and shook his head, saying: "It doesn't matter...it doesn't matter, I just feel afraid of water suddenly for some reason..." As he spoke, he also felt strange in his heart. Although he was not familiar with water, he talked about it. If I wasn't afraid of water, I was fine when I first entered the river, so why could I tremble uncontrollably now, as if the fear was born out of thin air.
Seeing Mu Fengchun's appearance, Wu Hao naturally didn't ask any more questions and continued to paddle forward with all his strength. However, as the boat moved forward, Wu Hao felt that it was becoming more and more difficult.
"Shand Laoshan, go and take a rest first!" You Ya saw Wu Hao panting and was about to take the oar from his hand.
"I'll do it!" Before You Ya could reach out, Huang Qilin took over the oar and replaced Wu Hao's position at the stern.
But since Huang Qilin took over the oar, the boat has barely moved. Everyone felt a little strange. They turned to look at Huang Qilin, but saw that his men were struggling to stir the oar, but they could not make the boat move forward even half an inch.
"Haha, Brother Huang! I'll do it!" Seeing this situation, Wu Hao thought that Huang Qilin was not good at driving a boat. He had rested enough anyway, so he took over the oar again.
But Huang Qilin abnormally blocked Wu Hao's extended hand, pointed at the river and said with a solemn expression: "That's not right!" Then he handed an oar to You Ya.
Youya took the oar with a strange look on her face and asked in confusion: "Huang Mumu, what do you mean?"
Huang Mu pointed around, then pointed at his feet, and said: "There is a problem."
Youya was stunned when she heard this, and then she tentatively inserted the oar into the water, her face suddenly became solemn.
It turns out that the reason why Huang Qilin didn't take a step forward for so long was not that he was not good at driving a boat, but that the river surface at the stern of the boat turned into a paste at some point, and was even so sticky that it was difficult to move the oars. Youya inserted the oar in front of the boat again, only to see that the oar could stand upright in the river without any sign of sinking.
"No wonder I couldn't use all my strength just now... What is going on?" Wu Hao had never seen such a situation before, and was a little dumbfounded.
"Daughter...we are not hit by some magic circle, are we..." Mu Fengchun also felt the strangeness of the atmosphere and asked with force.
"Impossible..." You Ya looked around and found no sign of any magic circle. She also said a little suspiciously: "There is nothing abnormal around here. It doesn't look like there is a magic circle attached to it!"
"Then let's paddle back first!" Yu Siling said, taking the oar from Huang Qilin's hand and inserting it into the other side of the river. With both hands exerting all the strength, she heard two crisp sounds, and the two oars broke. It broke into four pieces, and the underwater oar head sank strangely to the bottom of the river.
"Little White Snake! You... ugh!" Mu Fengchun was about to speak, but the moment his eyes touched the lake, he felt another wave of indescribable fear and could only close his mouth.
"I...I didn't mean it..." Yu Siling looked a little confused, threw the two bare sticks back into the boat, hugged her knees and squatted back into the boat.
"Everyone...it doesn't make any difference whether there is a paddle or not. Let's figure out what's going on first!" Wu Hao touched the river water with his hand, but only felt that it was cold to the bone, almost causing his own cold poison to attack, and he quickly shrank. He came back and said, "In my opinion... maybe it's the river's problem!"
After hearing this, Youya took out a meteorite needle and stabbed it into the river. However, she saw that the meteorite needle seemed to be nailed to a real object and actually stood firmly on the river. Just when she was about to retrieve the meteorite needle. , but saw that the meteorite needle seemed to be attracted by something, and shot towards the bottom of the river with a whoosh, never to be seen again.
She looked back and forth along the lake, and found that although the lake surface was dark when she came, there were faint sparkling waves, but the lake surface in front of her was like a stagnant pool, without any reflection.
"Everyone, be careful! Try to stay away from the river! It's better not to act rashly because the situation is unknown!" Youya also had a headache. The situation she encountered today was completely beyond her knowledge.
If it is said that this place is a magic circle set up by someone, there is no sign of the magic circle around it. If it is said that it is a witchcraft cast by someone, there is no smell of witchcraft in the river. If it is said that several people have been poisoned, Or fall into an illusion, everything around you is very real, and even so, Youya cannot be completely unaware of it.
Just when a few people were on guard, they suddenly heard a cough coming from beside them, raising their nervousness to the top.
"Ahem...where is this place? Why is it so dark! Huh? Why are you looking at Asheng like this?"
Realizing that the sound was coming from the Asheng on Yu Siling's head, everyone was angry and amused, and turned their heads away from looking at it.
Yu Siling was embarrassed to open her mouth because she made a mistake. When she saw Ah Sheng wake up, she was very excited: "A Sheng! We are trapped on the river now. Can you send us to the shore?"
Ah Sheng slid off Yu Siling's head with a swishing sound after hearing this. After trying hard for a long time, Ah Sheng couldn't turn into a human form. She could only hang her head and said: "Mom, sister A Xiao and I have been together for a long time. I'm tired of traveling, exhausted my strength, and can't cast many spells... I'll give it a try..."
As he said this, Ah Sheng slid into the river with a whoosh, and then before taking a breath, he heard an ouch, and a stiff icicle shot out of the river and landed crisply in the boat. Fortunately, Wu Hao reacted in time and attached the lava technique to his hand to force the cold air out of the icicle's body, allowing it to transform back into a little snake.
"Ouch, it's freezing to death... it's burning me to death..." Seeing Ah Sheng recover, Wu Hao also stopped in time, so that Ah Sheng was not roasted into charcoal.
"Mom? Where does this smell of barbecue come from?" Ah Sheng looked around for a while, and she didn't wake up until she was stopped by Hui Siling.
Wu Hao originally thought that Yu Siling was already very unreliable, but he didn't expect that this little guy was even more unreliable. He also felt that there was no chance. He looked at Huang Qilin and saw the same idea in their eyes.
Seeing Ah Sheng jumping around and not being hurt at all, Yu Siling felt relieved and asked suspiciously: "A Sheng, what on earth did you encounter just now?"
"A Sheng just..." A Sheng shook his head and tried to remember, and suddenly said in shock: "By the way, Mom! Where is this place? Why is there such a strong aura of moon resentment?"
"The Qi of Moon Resentment? What is this?" Yu Siling asked in confusion.
"Mom, can't you even remember what happened a few days ago? Will even Ah Sheng forget it in a few days..." Ah Sheng's tone suddenly became sad.
"A few days ago? Where? Why didn't I know?" Yu Siling wondered if she had really lost her memory. She looked up and saw the confusion on everyone's faces, and then she felt relieved.
"The Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes! The gray vines in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes are the result of the remaining energy of the Moon Grudge! My mother told us about the Moon Grudge before. It seems that my mother doesn't even remember the Moon Grudge..." Ah Sheng The more he spoke, the quieter he became.
"Ahem...then Asheng, can you tell mom about this...moon resentment you know?"
"Of course!" Asheng's little head nodded repeatedly, and with a whoosh it climbed back onto Yu Siling's head, turning into a hairpin. Then he yawned and said, "Yueyue is a kind of monster from the moon. They are Their bodies are pale and have smooth skin, and although their limbs are long and slender, they are soft and boneless, but they have no seven orifices, so they can only hang upside down in a dark place."
"It is said that the Yue Yue has the ability to control the night. Whenever night falls, it will wander around, looking for those who walk at night, kill them and then occupy their bodies! And once the Yue Yue possesses the seven orifices and five senses of humans, , they will become greedy and will constantly look for people with stronger abilities to enhance their own strength... But they also have a fatal weakness, which is... snore..."
"What's the fatal weakness? Ah Sheng? Ah Sheng... wake up!" Ah Sheng was talking about the key point, and finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell into a deep sleep. No matter how much Yu Siling called, there was no movement.
I thought that Ah Sheng could give a good solution to the dilemma, but I didn't expect that this guy lost his answer halfway through his words. This also made everyone's hearts go cold. Seeing that the night on the river became thicker and thicker, everyone was suspended in the darkness. In this situation, the boat under my feet also creaked and made a sore sound. I don't know how long it can last.
Wu Hao tried to use the lava technique to drive away the dark river surface under his feet, but it was in vain, so he could only sit back frustrated.
"Everyone, please be patient, I suddenly remembered something..." Mu Fengchun was affected by Wu Hao's lava technique, and his depressive situation recovered a little, and he managed to hold himself up and said.
"This thing I know is because the legend is mysterious, so naturally I have never taken it seriously. But after listening to Ah Sheng today, I have to mention it! Although the descriptions of the so-called moon resentment are generally similar, the origin of what I heard about The origin is more real, especially since the origin of this matter is Daming Mountain!"
