The texture of black soul wood is fine and hard, but as light as cicada wings. Some Taoist practitioners often use it to make magic weapons to attract souls.
At outside auctions, a piece of black soul wood the size of a palm can fetch at least hundreds of thousands of dollars!
But for now, for us, the biggest role of this piece of black soul wood is to help us cross to the middle of the river to check the source of the golden light.
After finishing speaking, Anjingjing took out her long sword, flattened one side of the black soul wood, and then dug out a groove to create a simple canoe.
Putting the canoe on the Styx, a few of us carefully stood on it.
The weight of the few of us was at least a few hundred kilograms, but after we all stood on it, the canoe made of black soul wood was still floating steadily on the water. I couldn't help but secretly marvel at it.
After I stood firm, I inserted the King Wu Whip into the water as a paddle and paddled forward with all my strength.
With the cooperation of Lonnie and others, the canoe moved slowly towards the source of the golden light.
Under the black air, we rowed while watching the water surface vigilantly, not daring to be careless at all.
After all, there are endless water ghosts living in the Styx River in huge numbers. We just want to find Wu Zi as soon as possible, but we don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble.
Seeing that the canoe was getting closer and closer to the golden light, I rowed harder and harder.
But suddenly, I felt my arm heavy, and I almost fell into the water.
I quickly grabbed the side of the boat to steady my body, and then I realized that there was something under the water, holding on to my King Wu Whip and sinking!
The Wuwang Whip is my most important weapon, so naturally I can't let it go easily. I gritted my teeth and used force to pull the Wuwang Whip out of the black water in an instant.
As soon as King Wu's whip came out of the water, I saw a ferocious-looking head, biting tightly on the head of the whip, refusing to let go at all!
This human head had been in the River Styx for who knows how long. The flesh on the face was so rotten that it was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman. Waves of extremely fishy smell emanated from it, making people feel sick.
"roll!"
I yelled loudly, and a thunder fire condensed in my palm. The talisman followed the King of Martial Whip, spread quickly, and directly bombarded the man's head.
The head didn't even have time to let out a wailing cry before it turned into a black mist as the runes exploded.
Just when I breathed a sigh of relief, there was another weird laughter behind me. I quickly turned around and saw a dead soul covered in blood, who had climbed onto the canoe at some point!
Before I could take action, Lonnie slapped the dead soul down into the River Styx with a direct palm. With a pop, the dead soul fell into the black water and disappeared.
But not even two seconds later, several black, lizard-like monsters appeared at the stern of the boat, screaming and rushing toward Bai Ze.
With a wave of Bai Ze's long sword, the two lizard monsters were cut into two pieces, and their flesh and blood were scattered on the ground.
At the same time, countless bubbles began to appear on the water, and all kinds of dead souls, monsters, and zombies kept emerging from the water and surrounding our canoe.
Even though we have all seen many big scenes, seeing this scene still makes our scalp numb.
I didn't care to say much, I just tried my best to use the King of Martial Whip, trying to escape from the siege of these evil spirits.
Bai Ze cooperated at the stern of the boat, while Lonnie and Jing Jingjing stood in the middle, vigilant about the surroundings, and whenever there was an evil spirit approaching, they would eliminate it as soon as possible.
Finally, with the full cooperation of the few of us, we finally broke away from the siege of the evil spirits and rowed to the middle of the river.
In the center of the dark and turbid River Styx, a water lily poked its head out, floating on the water, quietly blooming alone.
The water lotus consists of five petals, each of which is covered with fine lines and is emitting golden light.
The golden light we see on the river bank comes from this water lotus!
After looking carefully for a few seconds, I suddenly discovered that the lines on the water lotus seemed to be exactly the same as the no characters.
In other words, the petals of these five water lotuses are the characterless characters we are looking for!
I couldn't hide my excitement and hurriedly told Lonnie and the others what I had discovered.
Several people were also very happy and quickly paddled the canoe over and stopped less than one meter away from the water lotus.
I lay on the bow of the boat, leaned forward, crossed my hands across the cold water, and reached under the water lotus.
Unexpectedly, there is no rhizome under this water lotus, and the whole flower floats on the water out of thin air.
Without having time to think about it, I gradually closed my hands and carefully lifted the water lotus out of the water. Then I retracted my hands and returned to the boat.
The whole process was uneventful. After placing the water lotus in the Qiankun bag, we were ready to return.
In order to avoid being besieged by the dead souls again, we avoided the previous route and planned to go directly to the main entrance of the City of Purity before landing.
After sailing for a while, a sharp neighing sound suddenly came from ahead. I quickly stood up straight and looked around.
You can see that the water surface is turbulent not far away, and a huge black figure is struggling in the water.
Around that behemoth, there were countless evil souls, rushing towards it one after another, intending to devour it all.
It seemed that this was a monster on land that accidentally fell into the River Styx and was besieged by the dead souls of the River Styx.
At this time, those evil souls were attracted by the drowned monster and were attacking crazily, without noticing our presence.
And this also gives us an opportunity.
"Let's go!"
I quickly made a gesture and told everyone to speed up, hoping to get out of this body of water as soon as possible.
But at this moment, the monster suddenly let out a cry, and looked at me with a pair of big ignorant eyes, full of endless pleading.
Although I am not sure what kind of monster it is, I can still tell that it is a cub of a monster. It has not yet grown up, with big eyes that are ignorant and full of desire for life.
For some reason, the moment I looked at the cub, my heart moved inexplicably, and I suddenly started to worry about it.
This cub is probably not yet an adult. Are its parents struggling to find it? Wouldn't it be very sad to die in the mouths of these dead souls without any explanation?
I don't know why, but at that moment I suddenly felt endless sympathy, and I turned the boat's bow directly and rowed towards the waters where evil spirits gathered.
"Brother Cheng, you are crazy!"
When Bai Ze saw this, he couldn't help shouting: "There are ghosts in front of us, you don't want your life!"
However, at this moment, I couldn't listen to Bai Ze's words. I only had one thought in my mind, which was to rescue the monster cub!
Lonnie didn't speak, she just glanced in the direction of my Qiankun bag and suddenly laughed.
"I see."
Lonnie and others also used their special skills.
