Chapter 338: Forgotten River Ferryman
"Stay safe here and don't run around." Xiao Ye warned the Book of Stars, and then left a space coordinate on and around it.
In doing so, he could return directly to the surface of the River of Forgetfulness and find the Book of Stars. The Forgotten River was like a dead sea, very quiet, and the water of the Yellow Spring was bitingly cold, giving Xiao Ye the feeling of facing that weird cold current in the world above.
At the same time, Xiao Ye was also thinking, if the weird cold current above was caused by Wangchuan, how did it form?
How did you get up there? This is a very strange phenomenon, because the distance it takes to get here from the world above has far exceeded the farthest distance of a world.
Ordinary physical changes can no longer explain this phenomenon. Xiao Ye kept going downwards, and the water pressure he faced became stronger and stronger, but he found nothing in the turbid water, not to mention living creatures, not even tiny simple creatures. .
"Is there really any living thing that can survive in this kind of water?" Such a thought came to Xiao Ye's mind.
[Item name: Naraku Yellow Spring Water] [Type: Water] [Quality: Immortal] [Special Effects: One of the most magical waters in all realms, capable of corroding all things, inaccessible to living creatures, coming from the Wangchuan River, the home of the dead.
】If it were not for the protection of the Heart of Time and the Heart of Space, Xiao Ye would not be able to freely come and go in the water of Wangchuan.
But others don't want him to have these two things, so there is a high probability that there are no living creatures in the River of Forgetfulness.
But for some reason, as the longer she stayed in the River of Forgetfulness, he felt more and more uncomfortable. It felt like he was being watched by something.
"In the River of Forgetfulness, only the soul can truly exist eternally." The system suddenly said.
Xiao Ye's whole body trembled, as if he thought of something. He carefully opened his consciousness and was immediately startled.
Under his consciousness, he saw countless densely packed strange fish swimming around him. Although this strange fish had a fish body, its whole body was covered with dense eyeballs. These eyeballs were swaying everywhere, making it look strange. Ye's scalp felt numb for a while.
"What is this?" Xiao Ye felt the soul body tremble. It seemed that this kind of fish had a strong restraint effect on the soul body. Unfortunately, the system still could not check their information.
"They are guarding this
A multi-eyed beast in the "Forgotten River" that can swallow souls falling into the water of the Forgotten River. "Just when Xiao Ye was confused, an ecstatic voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Who?" Xiao Ye looked around fiercely, but found nothing.
"I'm here." The voice sounded again. Xiao Ye followed the sound and looked over, and saw a fish that was different among the group of fish. The most important thing was that the fish actually nodded towards him.
"Who are you?" Xiao Ye stretched out his hand and fished it out of the fish.
"I thought I would never see a living person in my life, but I didn't expect to see one, and to be able to come and go freely in the River of Forgetfulness." The fish spoke human words and sighed.
Xiao Ye felt a little strange, so he asked: "Are you human?"
"That's right, when I accidentally entered the River of Forgetfulness, my body was instantly corroded by the water of the River of Forgetfulness, and my soul was almost swallowed up by this group of fish. Fortunately, I have some means to integrate my soul into this fish. I was lucky enough to survive." Yu sighed softly and hissed: "But this kind of life is too painful, I can't bear it anymore, so I finally waited until someone came." Xiao Ye released his spiritual consciousness He looked at the other person and shook his head after a while: "You are hopeless." His soul has been fused with the fish for too long. Except for his thinking, he still belongs to human beings. His soul body has been assimilated too completely by the fish. This kind of The situation is already hopeless.
"I know I'm hopeless. I just want to be freed as soon as possible. These days are really too painful. If I hadn't been unable to free myself, I would have taken action long ago." Yu said with some pain.
"Can't escape?" Xiao Ye felt that his statement was a bit strange.
"That's right, this kind of fish has no natural enemies in this Forgotten River. Their body structure is unique and they don't need to eat to maintain themselves. They only need to absorb a small amount of energy from the Forgotten River to survive. The most outrageous thing is that they seem to be Immortal, ever since I became one with this fish, not a single fish has died naturally over the years.”
"So weird?" Xiao Ye frowned: "Then how do they reproduce?"
"I don't know." The fish shook his head: "Their number seems to be constant. After so many years, there has never been one more or one less. At least I have not seen any new fish born."
"By the way, the physical body is the best barrier for the soul body. Never let the soul body break away from the physical body, otherwise you will be targeted by them. Believe me, they don't have much attack power, but if they go crazy, you will Things may not guarantee your safety." Yu's words made Xiao Ye's heart skip a beat, because the system had also mentioned these words before.
"Go ahead and free me." Yu'er said eagerly. Xiao Ye pondered for a moment, then punched the fish with his fist. This punch brought the power of breaking magic, because he had a feeling that he might not be able to kill the fish with just ordinary attacks.
The restrained power violently acted on the fish's body, blasting it into pieces like a rotten creature. A shadow emerged from the void.
It was a soul body that looked like a fish but not a fish, and looked like a human but not a human being. He has been so assimilated into the fish that he has almost lost his human characteristics.
As soon as the soul body appeared, he looked at his own body, and then burst into laughter: "I am finally free. I will never come back to this hellish place." Xiao Ye frowned slightly: "You can still survive?" Soul body The body looked at Xiao Ye in surprise: "The soul and body are immortal, and the body can naturally recover through certain means. Don't you know this common sense?" Xiao Ye was silent. What kind of common sense is this?
He had never heard that the body was gone and the soul could recover after such a transformation.
"Your soul body has become like this, can you still recover?" Xiao Ye pointed to his soul body in surprise.
"It's just a little trouble. If I hadn't been careless this time, this place wouldn't be able to trap me at all." Then, the soul seemed to sense something and said, "I'm leaving. If we can meet again if there is a chance, I will I will repay the favor of saving my life today."
"By the way, boy, this River of Forgetfulness seems peaceful, but there are many dangers hidden in it. This multi-eye fish is just one of them. If you encounter the following three situations here, I suggest you run away quickly. Far is best.”
"Be sure to remember these three situations."
"First, if you see anything unusual about the eye-catching fish, leave quickly, because what is coming is something that even the eye-catching fish will be afraid of. If you encounter it, you will definitely die." The soul body did not say what it was, but Xiao Ye felt deeply afraid from the tone of his words.
“The second one is a kind of ethereal singing voice.
"Speaking of this, the soul body seemed to have thought of something, and the body actually started to tremble slightly.
"On the Forgotten River, there is an existence called the Forgotten River Ferryman. It is a small boat that wanders on the Forgotten River all year round. Her appearance is accompanied by a misty song. If you hear this kind of sound, don't hesitate and leave this place quickly. ." Xiao Ye frowned slightly.
Ferryman?
"What's another situation?" Xiao Ye silently remembered what he said.
"There is another situation..." The soul body hesitated, and finally sighed: "I hope you will not encounter the last situation, otherwise, I am afraid I will never see you again in this life."
"What exactly are you talking about?" Xiao Ye was confused.
"I don't know." There was a look of fear on the soul body's face: "Anyway, if you feel something is wrong, run away quickly." After the soul body finished speaking, it suddenly disappeared, and disappeared very strangely. Even Xiao Ye They didn't even see clearly how he disappeared.
Xiao Ye remained silent for a while, then used the Heart of Space to instantly reach the Book of Stars.
...in the unknown void. A soul body emerged from the void.
"Ahem, cough, cough, I played a little too hard this time, and I still can't let it go. I don't know how long it will take to recover this time." He then sighed quietly, looked down, and then left quickly Got this place.
A body was then quietly submerged into the water. …
"What, have you gained anything?" Book of Stars felt Xiao Ye's appearance and was almost scared to death.
"No, I encountered a strange thing." Xiao Ye shook his head and recounted what he encountered in the River of Forgetfulness.
"Hey, when you said that, I seemed to remember. Not long after you left, I seemed to hear a misty song. I heard it wrong at the time." Book of Stars said after listening.
"Singing?" Xiao Ye glanced blankly: "It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Book of Stars seemed to swallow its saliva: "What if it is really such a coincidence?"
"Hurry up and leave." Xiao Ye twitched the corner of his mouth, grabbed the Book of Stars, and was about to fly upward.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Suddenly, a ethereal song sounded in Xiao Ye's ears, and at the same time, a heavy fog suddenly rose above the Wangchuan River.
Xiao Ye was in a daze for a moment, the hand holding the Book of Stars dropped, and his body fell involuntarily towards the water.
The Book of Stars seemed not to be affected by the singing, and flew towards Xiao Ye, dragging Xiao Ye from bottom to top and stopping Xiao Ye's body in mid-air.
