Chapter 318 Ferryman
As the ferryman approached, everyone felt a biting chill rush into their hearts, making people shudder.
Everyone stared at the extremely strange ferryman, no one dared to let down their guard, and all of them got into an attack stance.
However, the ferryman just parked the boat quietly on the shore and made no further moves.
"Get aboard." Fang Xiu gave the order and everyone boarded the ship directly.
Yang Ming, who was greedy for money, took advantage of the situation and picked up the Ming coins dropped by Wei Xin.
on board.
Everyone always kept a certain distance from the ferryman, and their eyes never left it. After all, in such a strange place, no one dared to take it lightly when faced with such a strange thing.
"There are ten Ming coins in total, each with a limit of one thousand, totaling ten thousand." Yang Ming showed the Ming coins in his hand.
Everyone took a look and immediately discovered the clue.
"This Ming coin is different from the Ming coins in the world. The style seems to be a product of the previous era. I have seen it in ancient books." Li Xiaoru, a cultural figure, showed off the few books he had read.
"What's the name of that book?" Xiong Tianguang asked.
Li Xiaoru's face froze slightly, and he laughed and said, "I can't remember. I am well-read and have read too many books. I have long forgotten their names."
Luo Qingxin took a Ming coin, rubbed it carefully in her hand, and looked away after a moment.
"There is an extremely obscure and strange aura hidden on it, and it feels similar to a strange weapon."
"Trick weapon!?" Yang Ming's eyes suddenly lit up: "So these ghost coins are valuable?"
Luo Qingxin shook her head: "Although this underworld coin contains a strange aura, it doesn't seem to have anything special. Exposure to it too much can easily lead to spiritual loss of control. It may be valuable in the burial place, but that's not necessarily true for the outside world."
Yang Ming was disappointed.
"Huh? Why doesn't this boat leave? Did you really tell that zombie that you need money?"
"Then I'll give you money to try."
Yang Ming said, and then carefully took out six Ming coins and handed them to the ferryman.
Wei Xin said before that the boat tickets were one thousand per person, so he gave six tickets.
The ferryman who had been motionless at first started to move strangely after seeing the Ming Coin. There was a sound of bones rubbing all over his body. He raised his skinny hand and took the Ming Coin in Yang Ming's hand.
Something magical happened, the Ming coins spontaneously ignited out of thin air.
Dots of fire suddenly appeared, and the Ming coins were continuously eaten away by the flames, turning into tiny black ashes, and all of them penetrated into the ferryman's body, as if they were absorbed.
Suddenly, a faint green flame lit up in the ferryman's empty eyes.
As if he came to life, he began to row the oars, and the sound of the bones rubbing together made a squeaking sound, like the rotation of gears.
The boat... moved.
Yang Ming became happy when he saw this.
"Wei Xin is really good at deceiving people. Didn't he say that the money he robbed cannot be spent? What if he didn't spend it?"
Everyone's expressions were still solemn, because they didn't think Wei Xin was lying. There was no need to tell people such cheap lies. There was no telling what would happen on the ship.
The boat rowed slowly and got into a gray fog. Soon, no one could even see the shore.
As we go deeper, the strange smell coming from the lake seems to become stronger and more uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Xiao Chuxia's exclamation sounded on the ship.
"Look in the lake, there seems to be someone in it!"
Everyone was shocked and quickly looked down, only to see countless figures floating faintly in the lake. Those figures looked like drowned corpses.
Gradually, there were more and more corpses, and they became clearer and clearer. The corpses were pale and swollen, very oozing, and densely packed, almost filling the entire lake!
It gives people the feeling that the boat is not walking on the water, but paddling in a sea of corpses.
Such a strange scene made everyone's hearts ring with alarm and inexplicable chills.
No one dares to imagine what terrible things will happen to them once they fall into such a sea of corpses.
"Damn it, I got trypophobia when I saw a corpse for the first time." Yang Ming said coldly.
Xiao Chuxia's pretty face was also pale, with a look of lingering fear on her face. She subconsciously leaned towards Fang Xiu and grabbed his sleeves.
"It's too scary. If this falls in, who knows what will happen?"
"It's very simple. You'll know if you jump down and try it," Fang Xiu's calm voice sounded. Xiao Chuxia was so frightened that she quickly let go of her hand and distanced herself from him.
"Xiu...Brother Xio, stop joking, you don't really want to jump, do you?"
"It's not me, it's us."
"What!?" Everyone was shocked. Faced with such a strange lake, should they jump down?
Fang Xiu pointed to his feet and told a terrifying fact very calmly: "The boat is leaking."
Yang Ming and others were instantly shocked. When they lowered their heads, they found that the bottom of the cabin was actually wet.
"Damn it, ferryman, your boat is leaking, fix it quickly!" Yang Ming shouted at the corpse-like ferryman.
The ferryman seemed not to have heard anything and continued rowing rowing.
Gradually, there was more and more water, soaking everyone's shoes. The moment the cold and biting lake water touched their skin, everyone felt an extremely cold and strange aura invading their bodies, as if it was freezing their souls.
Their spirituality is being suppressed.
"This lake can suppress spirituality!!" Li Xiaoru shouted anxiously.
Luo Qingxin looked cold and activated her ability directly.
"Ice!"
Strong cold air came out of her mouth and froze the lake water at the bottom of the boat, intending to freeze the bottom of the boat into ice to prevent the lake water from entering.
However, when the cold air touched the lake water, it was suppressed by the power of the lake water and dissipated directly.
"No, I can't freeze the lake water." Luo Qingxin's face became ugly. She could never have imagined that she, a fourth-level peak spirit master, couldn't even make the water freeze.
Xiong Tianguang and Li Xiaoru also tried, but the lake water was too terrifying and directly suppressed the power of the two, making it useless.
"Damn, is this the horror of the space node? It's completely different from the present world."
Some people were shocked. In the outside world, they were considered top powerhouses, but when they reached the space node, they couldn't even handle a lake.
Fang Xiu was not surprised by this. Although the space node was not the other shore, it was connected to the other shore. Needless to say, the horror here was beyond description. Not to mention the peak of the fourth level, even the fifth level would die if they were not careful.
For the other shore, the fifth level was just a bigger rat.
At this time, Yang Ming was a little anxious and shouted at the ferryman: "Ferryman, you have taken the money, and now the boat is leaking, why don't you move!"
The dead-like ferryman seemed to have heard nothing.
