Chapter 1018 Crossing the Sea
After crossing the magma sea, Song Jiang felt the call of the basalt boulder again, but at this time he was dragging the seriously injured Gu Hao, and without the previous means of transportation, it was really difficult to move! And the most important thing is that although he now feels the direction of the basalt boulder, how far is it? Song Jiang has no idea in his mind.

Gu Hao suggested that Song Jiang go first, but Song Jiang refused. Regardless of how far they had to go to find the basalt boulder, Song Jiang would never abandon his best friend. Gu Hao now had two wounds on his body, one bright and one dark. Although the wound on his broken left arm was scary, the bleeding had stopped. On the contrary, the wound on his left rib that was pierced by the spear tip was very dangerous.

First of all, although the wound did not look serious, it actually damaged the internal organs. It was not difficult to see from Gu Hao's increasingly pale face that there must be internal bleeding. This was what Song Jiang was most worried about... Although Jiu Ye had predicted from the beginning that as long as Gu Hao came in, the best result would be that his body would be scrapped, and he would find a new one after he went out.

But even though this was already an established fact, Song Jiang still couldn't accept it, because his original plan was to hope that Gu Hao could get away with it, but he seriously underestimated the situation here, which led to the current situation.

Thinking of this, Song Jiang couldn't help but look back at the lava sea behind him, and then thought to himself with self-mockery, I had survived such a dangerous situation before, why am I so cowardly now that I'm in a safe place?

Unexpectedly, when he took a look, Song Jiang suddenly felt that the fiery red lava sea seemed to have become a lot dimmer, but the sea level was too wide, and the waves of heat hit his face, making it almost impossible for Song Jiang to open his eyes. So he didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that he was dazzled and saw it wrong.

After weighing the pros and cons, Song Jiang thought that the most urgent task now was to find the Xuanwu stone as soon as possible, because only by letting Xuanwu revive Gu Hao would there be hope for survival. He also believed that Xuanwu was a reasonable god, and as long as Song Jiang explained the whole story, the other party would definitely help him save Gu Hao's life... So Song Jiang no longer hesitated, carried Gu Hao on his back and walked forward.

Gu Hao was already in a semi-comatose state, sometimes conscious and sometimes unconscious. He could sense that Song Jiang was carrying him slowly forward, so he said to him weakly, "This won't work. The speed is too slow. The silver needles that block the blood circulation in your body can't be left in for too long, or it will kill you... You should find a place to put me down and go ahead. I'll wait for you to come back and pick me up."

Song Jiang walked forward with great effort, shaking his head and saying, "Gu Hao... do you really think I'm a three-year-old child? If I leave you behind now, you'll be dead! No matter how timid I am, I can't do such a thing. You are seriously lacking in energy and blood now, so stop talking and save some energy! Okay?!"

In fact, Song Jiang also knew that their current speed was a bit slow, but it was okay. It was better to be slow than to stay still, right? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back at the magma sea behind him. Unexpectedly, his heart sank as he saw that the color of the magma sea became darker. So he quickly said to Gu Hao, "Look at the color of the magma sea. Is there something wrong? Is it my illusion? Why do I feel that the color is getting darker?"

After hearing this, Gu Hao slowly raised his head and looked at the lava sea behind them. After taking a look, his face changed drastically and he said, "We have crossed the sea..."

Song Jiang didn't hear what Gu Hao said at first, so he asked hurriedly, "What did you say? Who crossed the sea?"

"Put me down quickly!" Gu Hao said nervously.

Song Jiang heard that Gu Hao's voice was not right, so he quickly put him down from his back, then supported his body and asked, "What happened?" Gu Hao put his hands on the awning and looked at the magma sea in the distance, then said in a deep voice, "Those things still crossed the sea. It seems that we underestimated their number and their desire for human blood."

Hearing what Gu Hao said, Song Jiang's heart immediately sank. It was self-evident what was on the other side of the sea. It was naturally those evil ghosts like locusts. But there was one thing that Song Jiang was very puzzled about, "Even if those guys were very fierce, how could they survive this lava sea with a temperature of thousands of degrees?"

Gu Hao sighed after hearing this and said, "They are fighting a war of numbers... There are endless evil ghosts in the endless hell. Once they are attracted by the blood of living people, they will become extremely excited and bloodthirsty, and they can't even feel pain. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a large number of evil ghosts rushing into the magma sea frantically, gradually filling it up. Although the magma is hot, if too many evil ghosts jump into the magma, the temperature will gradually drop, and those evil ghosts who come later can step on the corpses of the evil ghosts who jumped in earlier and continue to move forward. In this way, it is only a matter of time for the evil ghosts to cross the magma sea."

When Song Jiang heard that the evil spirits were about to catch up, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart. This meant that Zhao Fuchun and his soldiers had all died in the battle... Come to think of it, how could three thousand people be a match for tens of thousands of evil spirits? This was a battle that was bound to be lost.

Song Jiang didn't have time to think too much at this time. He could only carry Gu Hao on his back and continue to move forward. If they could find the basalt boulder before the tsunami of evil spirits caught up with them, perhaps everything would still be in time.

But sometimes things don't go as planned. They had just walked a few kilometers when the whispering sounds from before appeared again. Song Jiang realized that there was no point in running anymore, so he slowed down and looked back, watching a tide of evil spirits as turbulent as the sea rushing towards them.

Unexpectedly, Gu Hao said in a cold voice, "You can't die yet...especially not in the mouths of these things."

Song Jiang didn't expect that Gu Hao was even more obsessed with his own life and death than he, the person involved, so he sighed and said, "Forget it... Actually, I'm a little tired. I have tried my best to do everything I should and shouldn't do, and even dragged you into this to die here with me. If it still doesn't work in the end, I can't do anything."

But Gu Hao smiled at him and said, "Who said there is no way out? We are not at the end of our rope yet, so there is no need to say such discouraging words."

Song Jiang was slightly surprised and asked, "Is there any other way?"

Gu Hao did not answer, but gently scratched the Xuanyuan Sword tightly held in Song Jiang's hand with the palm of his right hand, and blood immediately flowed down. Song Jiang was shocked and said anxiously, "What are you doing? You don't have much blood left?!"
