Only the sound of popping popping was heard, and a dozen exorcists struggled to swim in the cold Styx River.
Everyone knew that if they couldn't get ashore before the flames arrived, they would either be burned to death by the flames, or they would have to dive into the River Styx and drown.
When it comes to your own life, no one dares to slack off!
I looked back and found Zhang Sanfen quietly looking at the Curseless Road Base in the distance.
His expression was a bit complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Suddenly, an idea came to my mind: Zhang Sanfen once told us that this mission is to go to the City of Fusi. In order to ensure that we can arrive safely, the demon-suppressing soldiers from the Middle Earth will cooperate with us in an offensive to attract
The evil spirits move closer.
This battle is probably used by the above to coordinate our attacks.
How many demon-suppressing soldiers are they prepared to sacrifice in order for us to enter the City of Fusi?
There was even a fire that set the entire River Styx on fire!
I didn't think much, and then swam quickly with the others.
It wasn't until this moment that I discovered that the water was full of water ghosts running wildly.
Even they instinctively sensed the danger from the flames that covered the entire River Styx.
This caused a very strange phenomenon. The exorcists were swimming in the water to escape, and the water ghosts were also running away quickly in the water.
The two sides do not interfere with each other, and no one seeks to cause trouble for the other.
This is really extremely rare in Curseless Road.
The cold river water stung people with chills in their bones. Fortunately, everyone was risking their lives and finally rushed to the other side of the Styx before the flames came.
We climbed onto the shore all wet, and ran quickly before we had time to wring out our clothes. We didn't look back in fear until we were more than thirty meters away from the river.
At this time, the River Styx has become a river of fire.
The flowing flame evaporates a large amount of water vapor, forming a thin layer of mist around it.
The flames burned in the mist, giving me a dreamlike feeling, as if this river of flames was flowing down from the sky.
The war at the Uncursed Road base in the distance is no longer visible, but from time to time, corpses of demon-suppressing soldiers are seen flowing down the river, their bodies still burning with blazing fire.
I felt a little sad watching it.
If they are really trying to cover our entry into the City of Death, I'm really feeling a little bit psychologically stressed.
If you don't complete the mission, how can you live up to these demon-suppressing soldiers who died in battle?
Mr. Ping quickly shook off his wet combat uniform and said, "Let's go!"
"With this fire, Wucurse Road Base will definitely defeat many evil spirits!"
"It will be troublesome if they catch up!"
Everyone could see that in this fierce battle, the demon-suppressing soldiers had the upper hand. Even if they could not capture the Curseless Road base, they could still inflict heavy damage on the evil spirits.
There are always cowardly evil spirits wandering around.
We didn't dare to neglect, and we didn't even have time to dry our combat uniforms, so we ran after Mr. Ping.
After running along the River Styx for more than an hour, I finally took a breath.
Mr. Ping saw that everyone was in a mess and panting, so he knew he had to let everyone rest.
Looking back, I saw that the flames floating on the River Styx were gradually extinguished, and the flare at the Uncursed Road Base in the distance had turned into a small point of light.
He then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Rest on the spot for half an hour. Check the equipment to see if there is any that has been soaked by the river water and cannot be used. Bury it on the spot."
"Old smoker, no smoking!"
A tall, thin man put down the cigarette in his hand awkwardly and laughed dryly.
God knows how he kept his cigarettes intact when he swam across the River Styx.
Mr. Ping pointed at Dongyi and said: "You! You still have a thin bamboo pole to guard!"
The man known as Skinny Bamboo stood up without saying a word. Dongyi hesitated for a moment before walking towards the darkness holding the wordless book.
As the main leader of the team, Mr. Ping is not only the only one who knows the way to the Soul Melting Grass area in the center of the earth, he is also the strongest on the surface.
No one wants to oppose his arrangement at this time.
Zhang Sanfen glanced at Mr. Ping meaningfully. When he looked away, I saw a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
Dongyi questioned Mr. Ping, so Mr. Ping arranged for him to be on guard.
But Zhang Sanfen didn't do it. He had long regarded Dongyi as his brother. Mr. Ping treated his brother in this way. Even if he didn't say it now, he would probably remember it in his heart.
The boss is a very protective person.
I'm secretly amused.
Regardless of Mr. Ping's insistence on what he says now, no one dares to object.
But if he knew that there was an A-level peak person in his team and he was still worried about him, he might not even be able to cry.
No one spoke in the darkness, only tinkling and tinny sounds could be heard.
Everyone was sorting and checking their things in silence. Some things were used to save lives and should never be thrown away.
I don’t know how long it took, but someone whispered: “Has the Wucurse Road Base been recaptured?”
Someone else replied: "We should take it back. Those demon-suppressing soldiers are very powerful, and they are fighting to the death!"
A third person added: "They set the River Styx on fire!"
"I don't think the evil spirits from the eighteenth level of hell can break out of the curse-free path."
Everyone's words to each other were full of praise and respect for the demon-suppressing soldiers.
Although no one has the courage to risk their lives against the evil spirits, this does not prevent everyone from expressing respect for the demon-suppressing soldiers.
Mr. Ping suddenly said: "Okay."
"No matter how powerful the demon-suppressing soldiers are, it has nothing to do with us!"
"Whether we can get it back from Curseless Road Base has nothing to do with us! Everyone, leave as soon as you have rested!"
Someone said in a deep voice: "Mr. Ping, where is our destination? Can you tell us now?"
"Everyone has come this far, and there is no question of keeping it secret or not."
These words aroused a burst of support from everyone.
When he was in Beidaying before, there were folk exorcists everywhere. In order to worry about leaks, Mr. Ping naturally had to conceal the location of the destination and the route.
To prevent someone from getting the information and then secretly reselling it.
But now that everyone has entered the curse-free road, the signal is cut off, the surroundings are pitch black, and it is extremely dangerous, so naturally there is no need to worry about leaking the secret.
Since everyone is a teammate, there must be some right to know.
Mr. Ping said in a deep voice: "I can't explain the specific location."
"I only know that that place needs to pass through the Great Abyss Pool, and then find a tributary to go upstream..."
When he said this, he paused slightly, and then whispered: "By the time we see the green will-o'-the-wisps in Wushou City, we will basically be there."
These words caused everyone to take a breath of cold air.
I was even more secretly shocked.
No wonder Zhang Sanfen wants to join this team to find the so-called soul-melting grass in the center of the earth.
It turns out we were going to basically the same place!
But how did Zhang Sanfen know that Mr. Ping was going to be near the city of Fusi?
You must know that Mr. Ping guarded his secrets very tightly, and he really didn't mention a word before crossing the River Styx.
It was only now that everyone had no way out that they spoke out.
Did the Secret Bureau already know about Mr. Ping's plan?
Or is there someone in Mr. Ping's team who is a spy from the Secret Bureau?
Or is it that Mr. Ping himself is cooperating with our actions?
I just thought about it for a moment and didn't delve into it further.
Anyway, the relationship between the Secret Bureau and the boss is like wearing a pair of pants. No one can tell what they are planning secretly.
And according to what the boss said before, those heading to the City of Fushou are also the Fo Wrath Team and two demon-suppressing envoys.
We haven't found any trace of them until now. It seems that they have their own way of entering the City of Fusi.
The old man Qingmingzi whispered: "It's a waste of time to die in the city! Mr. Ping, are you crazy?"
"The soul pollution in that place is extremely strong! Exorcists like us can't survive there for several hours!"
Someone else lowered his voice and roared: "If I had known it would be a waste of time, I would never have come!"
"Mr. Ping, why don't we try our luck near Dayuantan!"
"It's a waste of time to go to the city of death!"
Some people also smiled bitterly and said: "It's a waste of money to die in the city! It is said that the owner of the city is the top master of the eighteen levels of hell, the pinnacle of A level. We will die if we go there!"
Suddenly someone shouted coldly: "Shut up!"
I looked with the help of the faint light in the distance and realized that the person speaking was another B-level master, who seemed to be named Mr. Gu.
It's just that Mr. Gu has always been taciturn and rarely speaks.
So much so that I almost ignored him.
Mr. Gu said indifferently: "Coming to the Curseless Road itself is a narrow escape! If everyone wants to get rich and not take risks, that is pure nonsense!"
"Okay! We're all afraid of danger, right?"
"If you don't want to go, get out now! If you want to go, just continue to follow us! Everyone breaks up!"
The surrounding opposition and doubts immediately stopped.
What's the difference between exiting at this stall and seeking death?
You must know that the evil spirits who were defeated in the previous battle will soon retreat. By then, the exorcists will encounter a large number of evil spirits, and they may be chewed up to the point where no bones and dregs are left.
No one said a word.
No one quit either.
After a while, Mr. Ping said calmly: "Everyone who dares to come to Curse-free Road shows that they have already pinned their heads to their belts!"
"Now that you have this awareness, why should you be afraid of killing the city in vain?"
"Besides, we don't have to enter the City of Death..."
Before he finished speaking, there were sudden footsteps beside him, and then Dong Yi's urgent voice came over: "An evil spirit is approaching!"
"An evil spirit is approaching!"
Mr. Ping's face changed drastically, and he said softly and kindly: "Stop talking!"
"Conceal the breath of life!"
"Mr. Gu! Parasol!"
Mr. Gu opened a black umbrella without hesitation, and golden runes flashed on the umbrella.
The shadow of the black umbrella instantly enveloped us all.
This parasol is not an umbrella that blocks the sun, but an umbrella that can block the yang energy of a living person.
Mr. Gu was worried that some souls in the team were not strong enough, causing Yang Qi to leak and attract evil spirits, so he added an extra layer of insurance.
The surroundings immediately fell into darkness, and even the flares in the direction of the Curseless Road base gradually went out.
Except for the faint light emitted by some fluorescent minerals above the head, it can basically be said that you can't see anything.
This situation is extremely unfavorable to us.
Because evil spirits do not need to use their eyes to see things, they follow the Yang energy to find living people.
As long as we have a little bit of yang energy leaked, I'm afraid we will immediately face a fierce battle!
In the darkness, some faint green will-o'-the-wisps appeared in the direction of the Styx.
The will-o'-the-wisp is not bright enough, but it can illuminate the sparkling water of the river.
With the help of this light, I could clearly see a group of looming ghost figures walking on the edge of the River Styx. At the same time, faint cries were heard along with the sound of the river washing.
