ninety thousand miles

Chapter 633 River
Li Chuan leaned out of the side of the boat and looked down.

There seemed to be an island in the surging grass waves. When the island stood up and raised its horned head, he realized that it was not a mountain, but a monster.

Is this the ancient monster?

As he was thinking this, he felt a dark shadow enveloping them, he looked up and saw a huge monster flying above them, he could see the monster's belly, which was covered with a layer of fine red scales.

It flew very quickly and didn't seem to care about them.

It is also possible that they were not discovered.

Only after it flew far away did Li Chuan see its full appearance. Its head was like a leopard, and its wings were like a bird and its tail was like a snake.

Li Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is in ancient times." Yu Chen said.

"How did you determine that?" Li Chuan asked.

"That monster," Yu Chen pointed at a monster running below and said, "This is the monster that Junior Brother Sun and I found in the underground cave."

"Is it the same one?" Li Chuan asked.

"How do you know this?" Yu Chen replied.

Soon they were flying over the grassland.

The Qingye Boat seemed to be flying higher, so Li Chuan could clearly see the Sanqing River's riverbed of varying thicknesses that spread across the Cangwu plain.

As they moved forward quickly, the river channel continued to narrow.

"The pattern of the river..." Li Chuan felt that the pattern was somewhat familiar, so he said, "Master Wen, slow down a little. I want to see the distribution of the river."

The Qingye boat was pulled up, then stopped.

"Can you see clearly?" Wen Guying asked.

"I can see clearly." Li Chuan quickly compared them in his mind. After a moment, he said, "Okay, let's keep flying."

The Qingye Boat flew towards the Youxi Valley again.

"What did you find?" Wen Guying asked.

"The distribution of the river channel is very similar to the patterns of the fog I saw in the rift, as well as the patterns on the scales of those transparent fish in the tunnel just now. I can't say they are exactly the same, but they are definitely 80% similar," Li Chuan replied.

Wen Guying nodded and said, "I just used my divine sense to scan the entire Cangwu Plain."

"Awesome." said Li Chuan.

"That's not what I'm talking about. Normally, it's impossible to do this, but this is a special dream, so it's possible." Wen Guying explained, "I mentioned to you before that in five or six thousand years, the topography will undergo tremendous changes. When I scanned this place with my divine sense, I found that many places have not changed much. In other words, the shape of the entire Cangwu Wilderness may have been shaped, and the power that shaped it has been maintained until now. Although it may have declined, it has always been there."

"Where does this power come from? The blood pool?" Li Chuan asked.

"I'm not sure yet, but I suddenly remembered a legend." Wen Guying said.

"What legend?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Guying replied: "The Cangwu wilderness is a sacred place for monsters. So every few decades, they have to come back here and stay for a while before leaving."

"This is a bit like a half-demon's curse." Li Chuan said.

"Indeed." Wen Guying looked into the distance, "The Youxi Valley is ahead."

"Let me take a look," Li Chuan also looked forward after hearing that.

The river stretches among the undulating mountains and finally converges into one place, Youxi Valley.

The Qingye Boat continued to move forward, but when it approached the gap between the mountains on both sides of the Youxi Valley, an unknown force blocked it outside.

"The only way to get in is by following the river," said the spiritual master.

"Then let's get off and go." Wen Guying said. They got off the boat.

Li Chuan walked a few steps toward the river, squatted down, and looked into the river. The water was very clear and green, and looked no different from an ordinary river.

"Let me lead the way," said the spiritualist.

"Okay." Wen Guying said.

After walking a few steps, there were suddenly bangs coming from the front, followed by a loud rumble, and many branches and stones rolled down from the mountain.

"It was two ancient monsters fighting each other." Wen Guying said. He paused and said, "When my divine sense swept over, they noticed it and bit me."

"Do we have to wait until they finish fighting?" Li Chuan asked.

"We don't have time, let's go straight there." Wen Guying said.

As they continued forward, the ground shook more and more frequently.

"It seems that the fight was even more intense than the one between the Black Horn King and the Stone Dragon King." Li Chuan said.

"This is a great ancient demon." Zhu Qingyun said.

"And they are ancient monsters in their prime." Wen Guying said in a deep voice: "I am not sure I can beat them. Even if I can win, it is impossible to end the battle in a short time."

"Then, how about opening a new abyss again?" Li Chuan asked.

"That goes against our original purpose of coming here." Wen Guying shook his head and said, "I can feel that we are very close to the truth."

"Is there any other way?" Li Chuan looked for other possibilities.

"The only way to get through is from here." said the spiritual master.

"Maybe..." Yu Chen spoke.

"Maybe what?" Li Chuan asked.

"You can go through underground." Yu Chen said.

"No." The spiritual master rejected Yu Chen's proposal flatly, saying, "There are countless monsters living underground now. If we go there, we will be trapped."

"Then let's keep going," Li Chuan made a decision. "At worst, we can open a heart abyss and find a way out. There's always another way to find out the truth."

"Or I can find a way to lure them away, and then you can go in." The spiritual master suggested, "Yu Chen also knows how to go."

"Let me set a trap with magic." Zhu Qingyun said.

Ling Shi and Yu Chen both looked at her.

Zhu Qingyun said: "Here, I am confident. I have a complete set of spells."

"Then let's give it a try." Elder Li said, pointing to a place not far above him, "I just used my divine sense to investigate, and that place should be suitable for setting a trap. Junior Brother Wen and I will hide in the dark, and if the spell doesn't work, we can attack together, at least we can severely damage them."

This is equivalent to double insurance.

"Then let's do as Elder Li says." Wen Guying looked at the spiritual master and Zhu Qingyun and said, "I'm counting on you."

"Can I watch while you cast the spell?" Yu Chen asked.

Zhu Qingyun said: "Yes, but I can't explain it."

"Thank you, Miss Zhu." Yu Chen thanked.

So they changed direction and headed towards the location pointed by Elder Li.

After arriving, Zhu Qingyun chose an open space, took out a porcelain bottle, opened it, and sprinkled the black powder inside on the ground as he walked.

After the powder fell to the ground, it dissolved into bubbles, then seeped into the ground and disappeared. Then she drew out the Shadow Sword, found a few stones, and quickly carved on them.
