Chapter 1: A Bridge Flying Over the Ghost River (Part 1)
Update time:2011-10-31
After climbing over the low mountain with rugged rocks, a fishy wind blew into my nose, and what lay in front of me was a turbulent river.
The river is so wide that even if you stand on the top of the mountain, you can't even see the edge.
The black river water rolled and roared sadly.
There were faint bursts of crying and howling among the sound of the waves, as if countless ghosts were crying and struggling in it.
It was really the cry of a ghost.
If you look closely into the river, which is so black that there is no luster, you can see countless mutilated ghosts rolling among the ink waves, each of them waving their hands desperately, struggling and howling. Occasionally, if something accidentally falls on the river, it will
He was dragged into the river by those ghosts and could never float up again.
It was as if the entire river was made up of ghosts.
It is recorded in "Registers of the Territory" that this river is called the Ghost River, and the water in the river is Yin/water underground. No matter what falls into it, it cannot float. Many ghosts who have fallen into hell on earth have strayed into it, and they will never be able to escape for eternity. As time goes by,
More and more ghosts accumulated, and finally such a wide and long river was filled with ghosts, and their grievances were overwhelming. The ghosts trapped in the river were unwilling to be freed forever, and always hoped to grab something and take the opportunity to escape from the Ghost River.
As for whatever was passing by on the river, they would grab hold of it and sink it into the Ghost River with them.
After crossing the Ghost River, you will reach the real wilderness area.
When I read "Registers of the Territories" before, I never thought that I would actually see this river of wronged souls with my own eyes one day.
As a scientific reading material for the geographical knowledge of the Huoshu Dynasty, "Yu Fang Zhi" records most of the geographical knowledge of this level of hell, but all members of the dynasty who have attended school have read this book.
Huo Ying stood on the stone mountain, looked at the Ghost River in the distance, then looked back at the way he came from, and couldn't help but sigh.
After crossing this river, I don't know when I can return to my hometown again.
"Come on, princess, it will be safe once you cross the river."
The guard general Jingyan beside him advised him this way.
He is said to be a general, but now he only has a dozen subordinates left, making him a typical polished commander.
When they first escaped from the royal capital, there was still a team of nearly a thousand people, but after fighting and escaping all the way, they ran thousands of miles, and those who died in battle and those who escaped were the only ones left in the end.
Jingyan never thought that he would have such an embarrassing day.
But now is not the time to be sad for autumn and sad for spring.
Only after crossing the Ghost River is it truly safe.
The air of resentment over the Ghost River is so high that a natural soul maze has been formed. Any weaker creature flying into it will lose its way unconsciously and keep spinning there until it exhausts all its energy and falls into the river, becoming
One of the thousands of innocent souls in the Ghost River; nothing can float in the Ghost River, even a goose feather falling on it will immediately sink to the bottom.
The only way to cross the river is to hire a ghost ferry boat.
The Ghost Ferryman is a unique race born from the resentment of the Ghost River. They are born on the river. Once they are out of the river, they will automatically dissipate and die. They can condense the resentment on the river into a boat to carry passengers across the river. Ghost Ferry
The number of passengers is scarce, so only a small number of passengers can be ferried.
Various characteristics destined it to be impossible for a large army to cross the Ghost River.
Only by crossing the Ghost River can we escape the pursuit troops sent by the rebels.
Without the large hunting force, it would be extremely difficult to catch them in such a vast wilderness.
As for restoring the country and taking revenge, let’s wait until we survive safely.
Perhaps, they can rebuild a new dynasty in the wild area on the other side of the Ghost River, and then find a way to cross the river on a large scale, and then they can legitimately crusade those rebels.
This is also what the rebels are worried about.
As long as Princess Huoying is alive, they can't sleep peacefully!
So I chased Wanli and vowed to bring back the spirit of Princess Huoying!
"I know, let me take another look."
Huo Ying looked far into the distance, as if he could really see the hometown of the royal capital thousands of miles away.
But in fact, there was only a black sky in sight, just like her future, without any hope.
A strange bird flew quickly from above.
Jingyan's heart skipped a beat.
The bird's entire body shone with a metallic luster, and it flew very fast, but its wings were always stretched flat and motionless.
This is not the strangest place.
As a general of the Fire Tree Dynasty, Jingyan conquered east and west, traveled to countless places, and saw monsters that could fill a book as thick as a brick.
The really strange thing about this bird is that it doesn't have even a trace of soul fluctuation.
What can be without a soul?
Even the most humble and simple ghost in hell doesn’t even have a body. The only thing left is his soul!
It is simply bizarre that a thing without a soul can fly in the sky so lightly and freely.
While they were thinking about it, the strange bird flew back again and hovered gently above their heads for a week before flying away again.
With his sharp eyes, Jingyan noticed the strange bird circling. His eyes flashed several times in succession, and an ominous feeling arose in his heart. He pulled Huo Ying, who was still looking at him reluctantly, and said: "Princess, let's go, we can't delay any longer."
Already."
Huo Ying nodded, said nothing more, turned around and went down the mountain first, with the elite and a dozen subordinates carefully guarding him on the left and right.
When they arrived at the Deyouhun River, the elite took out a whistle, put it in his mouth and blew it vigorously.
The whistle was low and hoarse, like the last unwilling groan of a dying beast.
This is summoning the Ghost Ferryman, simulating the sound made by the Ghost Ferryman. Only regular customers who have crossed the Ghost River many times will be given such a whistle by the Ghost Ferryman. As long as the whistle is heard, the nearby Ghost Ferryman will
The whistler will rush over to serve them as soon as possible. This whistle is probably equivalent to a high-level VIP membership card in the human world.
When the elite was young, he went to the wilderness with an adventure team for training and traveled to the Ghost River many times, so he had such a whistle. But he hadn't used it for many years.
The whistle sounded for a long time, but no Ghost Ferryman came over.
The elite couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
Could it be that the rules have changed over the years?
After waiting for a while, there was still no ghost ferryman coming. The elite did not dare to wait any longer, so they ordered their subordinates to search upstream and downstream separately.
Each ghost ferryman has a fixed ferrying range, and there must be a ghost ferryman every five miles or so.
The two accompanying attendants found a cleaner stone, carefully took out a mat from their arms and placed it on it. They invited Huo Ying to sit down and brought out water and food.
Now this princess of the Fire Tree Dynasty only has this little treatment left.
Although Huo Ying was tired and hungry, he had no appetite. He ate a little and asked his attendant to put it away. Then he asked Jingyan, "Uncle Jingyan, what should we do after we cross the Ghost River?"
Jingyan is a veteran who has followed Huo Ying's father in battles for many years, and is the founding father of the Huoshu Dynasty. He has watched Huo Ying since he was a child, and he is worthy of the name Huo Ying, both in terms of affection and status.
"After passing the Ghost River, let's go further. It's best to find a remote and barren place, find a small tribe, kill the leader, and occupy the territory first, and then we can go on slowly. You don't know, in these wild areas,
The lords of small tribes are very bold. They dare to call themselves devil kings if they occupy a small floating platform, and those who can command dozens of devil kings dare to call themselves ghost kings."
Jingyan made his tone as relaxed as possible to divert Huo Ying's attention.
Huo Ying was indeed attracted by Jingyan's words and began to inquire in detail about the situation in the wilderness area.
While the two were talking, a shrill scream suddenly came from the downstream direction.
The scream was short and rapid, as if it was blocked as soon as it came out.
Jingyan looked stern.
Although it was only a short sound, he could clearly hear that it was the voice of the subordinates who were sent downstream to search for the Ghost Ferryman.
"Go, go quickly!"
Jingyan immediately picked up the princess and hurried upstream.
After Fang escaped for more than a hundred meters, his subordinates who were following him screamed in surprise. They turned around and saw a large black shadow roaring in the air behind them.
Jingyan couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air and shouted: "Fire Dragon Rider!"
