Chapter 1057 – Ferrying the River
Chapter 1057 – Ferrying the River
The four-armed demon had been fighting for many years and had never encountered such a bizarre situation as the one at hand.
He was clearly able to clearly perceive his own body, but he was deprived of the right to manipulate, involuntarily, and could only watch as his hand plunged into his chest.
Uncontrollable panic crawled into the bottom of his heart, and he looked at the bloody hole in his chest that had been pulled out by his “own hands”, and his eyes were colored with despair.
No, don’t ……
He tried his best to stop all this, but his soul seemed to have fallen into a prison somewhere, and he could not perceive the existence of his body.
Xu Chuniang, who had performed the Spatial Separation Technique for the first time, was not at ease either. She clenched her teeth, a layer of fine beads of sweat seeping out from her forehead, and finally, before the four-armed Demon’s soul broke free from his control, she drove his hand and ended his life.
“Ah!”
The Four-Armed Demon Man’s divine soul let out a shrill whistle, finally breaking through the prison set up by the Spatial Separation Technique, his body, however, stopped breathing forever.
The divine soul glanced resentfully at Xu Chuniang and hurriedly fled towards the distance, but lightning suddenly flashed in the sky and struck straight down towards him.
The four-armed demon’s divine soul was startled, he had already lost his body, and if he was struck by the lightning spell again, he would definitely be completely accounted for today.
Under panic, he was ruthless and swooped down towards the river below.
Chen Xi had said that the water monsters in the Wubu River came out by day and night, and now that it was daytime, it shouldn’t have startled the water monsters in the river, right?
However, just as the four-armed demon’s divine soul rushed towards the water, the calm river surface suddenly rippled, wrapping towards him from the bottom up.
The Four-Armed Demon Man’s divine soul was so shocked that it was too late to change direction, so he had no choice but to resist.
The power of the Laws of Water did not seem to be comparable to the Thunder Law, but it had an unceasing momentum, large waves of water wrapped the Four-Armed Demon’s Divine Soul layer by layer, such as warm water boiled frogs in general, and constantly wore down his Divine Soul’s power.
By the time the four-armed demon’s divine soul realized this, his divine soul power had already been worn down by half, and it was much harder to break free from the water waves.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Chuniang once again convened her Thunder Law and bombarded the Four-Armed Demon Man’s divine soul, wearing down the last vestige of his divine soul.
The moment the Four-Armed Demon’s divine soul was ground out, a hint of an extremely dangerous omen suddenly arose in the bottom of her heart, as if she was being targeted by some behemoth.
The strong desire to survive made Xu Chuniang unable to think, she instinctively used her recluse method and sped towards the distance as fast as she could.
At the moment she disappeared, a huge whirlpool appeared out of nowhere in the Wubu River, and countless rivers poured towards the center of the whirlpool at an astonishing speed.
A portion of Xu Chuniang’s divine sense was also churned to pieces by this amazing whirlpool along with the river water.
As her divine sense shattered, she vaguely saw that at the bottom of the vortex was a deep black color, resembling the wide-open mouth of some kind of giant beast.
This realization caused Xu Chuniang to break out in a cold sweat, and she pushed the power of her Laws to the extreme, once again increasing her recluse speed a little.
She sped along for half an incense stick of time, leaving the vortex far behind, and only after confirming her safety did she stop fleeing as if she was playing for her life.
Having successfully escaped the danger, Xu Chuniang’s mood was still heavy.
She knew in her heart that the reason why she was able to escape so smoothly was not because her evasion speed was fast enough, but also because that huge beast in the water did not take her seriously at all.
In the eyes of the beast, she was as inconspicuous as a mayfly, and if it were her, she wouldn’t look at the ants under her feet.
Xu Chuniang once again realized her own insignificance, this vast extra-territorial land was full of powerful people, and was not a place where the Human Demon Realm could easily set foot.
However, since she had come, she was at peace, no matter how dangerous the situation was, she still had to find a way to survive.
After realizing the dangers lurking beneath the calm river surface, Xu Chuniang accelerated the speed of her rush, there was no one around, so she didn’t need to continue her disguise. Two hours later, the three fastest Earth Devils were already the first to cross the Wubu River, arriving at the opposite side of the riverbank.
The Earth Demon who had been scratched by the mountain beaver earlier looked behind her, the calm river was empty, nothing was there.
“Don’t look, with the cultivation of those few people, it’s not certain if they can cross the Wubu River before dark.”
Another Earth Demon rolled his eyes and said in a conspiratorial manner.
“I just don’t understand, Chen Breath why do you have to bring these losers, if you ask me, the Human Demon Realm is just useless, instead of wasting magic crystals on them, it would be better to recruit a few more good people.
It also saves us from having to waste time waiting for them here at this moment.”
Chen Breath explained, “I also didn’t expect that there would be an accident in that part of the Hundred Fathoms Forest ah, hiring these losers, isn’t it because they’re cheap? It’s all come to this, Age Po you just say less.”
Age Po lightly grunted, but refused to let him off the hook.
“Before even crossing the river, three died, the remaining four are still not sure if they can cross the river smoothly, counting on them to contribute to finding the cave of the Ancient Sorcerer Clan, I think it’s hard enough.
Especially that Human Demon Primordial Realm one, hiring her is simply a waste of magic crystals, how come she wasn’t the one who died in the Hundred Fathoms Forest?”
Chen Breath was somewhat helpless, “Then three thousand magic crystals, I’ll always pay, right?”
Age Bo finally subsided, “That’s more or less the same.”
The three Earth Devils waited in place for more than an hour before two figures finally appeared in the sky, it was the rabbit-eared female cultivator and another Human Devil After Realm devil cultivator.
After the five of them converged, another half hour passed and the sky gradually darkened.
Age Park looked at the sky and yawned in boredom, “It’s going to be dark soon, those two people probably won’t be able to cross the river, let’s go.”
Chen Breath also felt that the last two people reckoned that they would not be able to cross the river successfully before darkness, he was about to lead everyone to leave, when suddenly his eyes condensed, “Wait a little longer.”
Age Po’s face showed impatience, and he was about to retort, when he suddenly sensed something and looked over towards the opposite side of the river.
Between the dimly lit surface of the river, a single thin figure was speeding towards them, there was not much magic energy left in her body, and each of her hands grabbed a handful of magic crystals that she was trying to absorb.
“Actually letting her catch up, it’s kind of interesting.”
Shou Bo stroked his chin, an unexpected color flashing in his eyes.
The five of them waited for a while longer, rushing to catch up with the sky before it became completely dark, Xu Chuniang finally arrived on the other side of the river.
She wiped a handful of sweat from her forehead and apologized, “I’m late, I didn’t make you guys wait too long, right?”
“If you didn’t come, we’d have to leave, but you’re lucky and your speed is just about right.”
Chen Breath lightly glanced at Xu Chuniang and turned to walk towards the distance, “Let’s go.”
As for the disappearing seventh person, no one mentioned it again.
Having failed to cross the Wubu River before nightfall, his end, was already doomed.
