Imperial City Investigative Department

Precisely because it was dark, even if Wu Chen struggled like this, it would be difficult for the people on the opposite side to locate his position, and even more difficult to determine the positions of Xing Yun and the others. If it were daytime, and he was flying here openly, no one could tell how many arrows were aimed at him. Flying here, he would have to deal with not only the water ghosts but also the arrows and crossbows on the shore. Xing Yun and the others might not be able to swim across safely.

……

Time passed by inadvertently, and just when Wu Chen was anxiously waiting, he finally heard Xu Da's weak voice: "We are swimming over."

Wu Chen breathed a long sigh of relief, and was distracted for a moment. The long hair floating in the water was suddenly thrown straight towards Wu Chen. When Wu Chen reacted, his body was already wrapped in the long hair, and he used his hand as a knife to chop at the long hair. Hair, the person also fell into the river with the force of the long hair.

The biting river water made Wu Chen energetic. The curled hair in his hair automatically loosened after entering the water. It was not Wu Chen who opened it with force.

Wu Chen opened his eyes and saw that there were three layers of water ghosts surrounding him. Their long hair was not floating in the water, but wrapped around their wrinkled and green bodies. They were staring at each other with red eyes. Wu Chen.

Wu Chen held his breath and took out the wine bottle in his arms and opened the lid. He had just prepared it before leaving, but he didn't expect to use it so quickly.

Wu Chen raised the wine bottle out of the water and poured it down. The blood flowed into the river. The faces of the water ghosts surrounding the nearest area suddenly turned black, and they opened their fangs and let out a dull roar. Wu Chen hurriedly swam towards the shore. The river rippled, and several more water ghosts roared, but no water ghost dared to approach.

Wu Chen didn't dare to look at it at all. He struggled to get up on his limbs and wanted to get ashore as soon as possible, but his eyes suddenly went dark, and the dense long hair actually attacked his head.

The uncle couldn't bear it and the aunt couldn't bear it. This was bullying Wu Chen for not carrying a sword!
Wu Chen reached out and grabbed the long hair in front of him. The long hair that had been wrapped around his face did not restrain at all, and he had the resilience to take advantage of it.

Wu Chen was shocked. This was no joke. He stretched out his other hand, pulled his hair with both hands, and exerted great force. The hair finally broke, and the hair stuck to his face finally floated up. At this time, Wu Chen had been holding his breath for a long time. He felt that his lungs were going to explode. Unable to bear it any longer, he jumped towards the water, and this time he jumped into the air again.

This startled Wu Chen himself. He had never thought that he could soar directly from the water.

Just like when I fell into the cliff last night, Wu Chen felt that my life was about to end, and the voice of Big Head came to his ears: "Come up." Wu Chen changed his mind, adjusted his breathing, and went upwards.

This unscientific!

Wu Chen was shouting in his heart, but looking at the water ghosts gathering in the river under his feet, Wu Chen couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the other side and walked away in the wind... He didn't know until he landed on the river bank. , the direction was wrong. People on the other side of the river were waving and shouting at him. He heard Xing Yun scolding him: "Are you idle? Do you have moles in your eyes?!"

Wu Chen shook his head. It would be great if he could get ashore in a panic.

Wu Chen flew up again and ran to the other side. This time, he didn't need to use any force in the middle until he landed on the other side.

Xing Yun and the others still had some distance to go before they could come over. Wu Chen took the opportunity to look at the road ahead, and suddenly thought that even if there was a suspension bridge, if Da Tou and the others fell accidentally when they came over, they would be killed by the water ghost without being beaten to death. Go, Wu Chen reviewed the fear of being entangled in his hair again, and then looked at the river with a solemn expression.

He knew that now was not the time to send away the water ghosts, and there was no way he could send away so many water ghosts. If he had this ability, just looking at the number of water ghosts, he would definitely fall to the ground and be unable to do anything for a while. At this juncture, he would not be able to send away so many water ghosts. What is the difference between killing Xing Yun and others with his own hands?

But if we don’t send them away, if there is a chance to build the suspension bridge again after dawn...

Wu Chen was lost in thought when Xing Yun and the others were already approaching.

"Are you crazy just now? You finally made it to the middle of the river, and you actually went back!" Xing Yun was still mocking.Wu Chen pointed at the water and said: "Those water ghosts have very powerful hair. I was almost choked to death by them. It would be great if you can come up. How about you go down and give it a try?"

Xing Yun leaned against the mountain, and Xu Da asked: "You made such a big noise just now. I think the people in the village must know that we are coming. What kind of preparations do you think they will make?"

"I don't know, let's not go there now. We'll wait until daybreak and you can see clearly. Those ghosts and ghosts shouldn't scare you during the day..." "I think this arrangement is good. Those people will definitely see you showing off your skills just now." I thought we were going to the village right away, but we didn’t want to! Find a place to rest, it’s very uncomfortable to be so wet.”

Xing Yun said as he raised his head and glanced up to see if there was a place to rest. At this glance, Xing Yun raised his head and stopped moving.

When Wu Chen saw Xing Yun's face turned pale for a moment, he quickly looked up and saw a pair of huge eyes looking down at them from an unknown place more than two feet above his head.

Wu Chen held his breath and listened carefully. This thing was not breathing. Wu Chen rose up into the air and shouted: "You guys stand aside first!"

Wu Chen thought that if he took action, rocks would inevitably roll down and anyone hit would be half-life, but he didn't know that he couldn't see those eyes when he was in mid-air, and there were only large rocks on the mountain.

Wu Chen landed and looked up again, but those eyes were still there.

"Let's go back and avoid this place."

Wu Chen signaled everyone to turn around. Xing Yun looked at his feet and said, "This place is evil. If you have the ability, let's fight it!"

The few people walked for a short distance, but no one else dared to look up. When Wu Chen looked up, those eyes were still there.

Wu Chen frowned and said, "We're not leaving. I see a big rock protruding from it. Let's go up there and have a rest."

"Are those eyes still there?" Xing Yun asked softly.

"Just pretend it's not there." Wu Chen said and stood up to check whether the big rock was safe.

"What does he mean?" Xing Yun turned to look at Xu Da and asked.

Xu laughed and said, "In the past, when we encountered unclean things, the sophomores and I knew they were around, but if we couldn't see them, Brother Wu would just pretend they didn't exist."

Gu You said: "Since there is no other way, it's better to pretend that we can't see it."

Xing Yun snorted and said, "Then look up."

Gu You shook his head and said, "Out of sight, out of mind."

The eldest brother couldn't help but look up. His legs went weak and he almost sat on the ground. The second eldest son grabbed him and said, "Why are you raising your head when you have nothing to do?"

"If you look up, I think it's laughing at us."

"It's a dead thing, so what if you just let it laugh at you? It doesn't have the ability to spread it around for you." Wu Chen fell next to a few people and said, "Let's go, the big rock up there is pretty good, enough for five of us." I just sat down to rest."

The protruding boulder is not too high, Xing Yun and the others can reach it by just borrowing strength from the mountain. (End of chapter)
