Xiao Yu and others were walking on a mountain road ten miles away from the trapped city. Because the war was about to start, there were very few ghosts on this road. Only some soldiers riding tall horses were shuttling back and forth.
"Taoist Priest, don't go forward. You can reach the trapped city by crossing this river. I'm afraid there will be heavy troops guarding the front."
Xiao Yu and the others continued to move forward, but the little guy who was leading the way hurriedly reminded them.
"Chirp chirp..."
As soon as the guide kid finished speaking, the chirping of birds sounded in the sky, and then two big black birds flew above Xiao Yu and the others.
"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you still here now?"
On Big Bird, a man looked at Xiao Yu and the others and asked with a wary face.
"Sir, we are a patrol team. We were attacked by the Yin Division team in the distance just now. We ran here in a panic. We were about to cross the river and return to the trapped city to report to the general."
The monk shouted at the top of his lungs.
The first few times, the great monk was still a little uncomfortable. The first time he opened his mouth was Amitabha, he almost showed his weakness. Fortunately, there were monks on the other side of hell who were serving in the army, so they did not arouse the suspicion of those people.
"The underworld team?
Approximately how many people are there and where are they?"
The man standing on the bird quickly raised his head and looked into the distance, but the mountains and forests over there were silent and there was no movement at all.
"They killed more than a dozen of my brothers. We fought hard and finally escaped. They did not pursue us. Now we don't know where we are!"
The great monk seemed a little sad, with extremely rich expressions on his face.
"This is our token, please take a look at it."
The little ghost who led the way said that soldiers riding flying spirit beasts have a higher status than ghost generals running on the ground, so the great monk calls each other "sir."
The other party stretched out his hand to grab it, and the token in the monk's hand was sucked up by the other party.
"The token is real. The two armies are gathering now. There are hunting teams from the Yin Division everywhere. You must cross the river quickly and go to the trapped city to wait for dispatch."
The man threw the token to the great monk, then looked left and right, then headed straight towards the direction where Xiao Yu and the others had just come.
Seeing the other party leaving, Xiao Yu and the others' hearts suddenly fell to the ground. Then they looked around and hurriedly ran towards the river.
The upper reaches of the river seemed to be narrower, about thirty meters, but at this distance, Xiao Yu and the others did not dare to cross the water, because they were Taoists after all, and their methods of doing things were still different from those of Yin Hun.
"Kid, is there a ferryman?"
Xiao Yu asked softly.
"Yes, there are river dolphins from hell in this river, and they are the ferrymen.
The Taoist Master can send ghost energy into the token, and pufferfish will naturally come around."
I have to say that it is indeed much more convenient to have a good guide. If Xiao Yu and the others were the only ones, they would definitely walk directly through the water, which would expose the target.
Xiao Yu reached out and took the great monk's token, and secretly asked Xiao Qiang to send some ghost energy into it.
For a moment, the seemingly ordinary token actually sent out a strange fluctuation.
Like a stone dropped into water, ripples spread out in all directions.
In the quiet river, bubbles the size of billiard balls began to emit, and they became more and more dense.
Xiao Yu and the others looked intently into the river, and then, a strange white fish emerged from the water.
This fish is all white, with two small eyes and two long beards that are estimated to be half a meter long.
"Wow..."
The river water parted to both sides, revealing the pufferfish's round body, floating on the water like an inflated balloon.
The other party looked at Xiao Yu and the others but made no further move, which made Xiao Yu and the others a little strange.
"Send us to the other side quickly and report something important to the general."
Xiao Yu felt guilty when the other party saw him, he quickly raised the token in his hand and shouted loudly.
"Gudong..."
The pufferfish spit out a bubble, then turned its body and swam towards Xiao Yu and the others.
"Wu Xuan, use ghost energy to support us so we don't get discovered by this thing."
As the saying goes, a ghost carrying a man is as heavy as a mountain; a man carrying a ghost is as light as a tiger.
Once they stand on the back of the pufferfish, the weight of just a few people is enough to reveal their identity.
Xiao Yu and the others can definitely pass by, but there are countless pairs of eyes around here. Once they pass by, they may be hunted down later!
"Don't worry, leave it to me, you can just go up."
Wu Xuan's voice sounded in Xiao Yu's mind.
The pufferfish turned around, and his balloon-like body leaned directly on the shore.
Xiao Yu was the first to step on it. The moment he stepped on the pufferfish's back, a black air flew out from the ancient jade around his neck and came directly to his feet, stabilizing his body.
The ground rested on it.
In this way, the pufferfish will not feel the heavy weight of the people on its back, and it will not suspect that Xiao Yu and the others are not really ghost bodies.
Xiao Yu stood firmly on the puffer fish's back, and then nodded to Qinglong and others, telling them not to worry.
Several people stood on the back of the pufferfish one after another, but a lot of their bodies were held up in the air by Wu Xuan's ghost energy, so the pufferfish still floated on the water and did not sink.
After Xiao Yu and others stood firm, the pufferfish's fat body began to swim towards the opposite side.
The river was only about 30 meters long, and the pufferfish only swung its tail a few times before Xiao Yu and the others landed on the opposite bank.
Hegu looked at Xiao Yu and the others, but did not leave.
"What do you mean? Are you prepared to ask for a tip?"
Qinglong said a little puzzled.
Xiao Yu glanced at the pufferfish, turned over his hand, and took out a low-level soul stone.
"Thank you for your help. I have a soul stone here as your reward."
Xiao Yu shook the soul stone in his hand towards the pufferfish.
Sure enough, as he thought, the soul stone has a strong temptation for any creature here.
The puffer fish looked at the soul stone in Xiao Yu's hand, kept opening his mouth and spinning back and forth in the water, as if he was very excited.
Xiao Yu observed the opponent for a while, then threw down the soul stone in his hand, and was swallowed by the puffer fish.
After swallowing the soul stone, the puffer fish looked at Xiao Yu and made a babbling sound from his mouth, like a baby's cry.
"Who is there by the river? There's going to be a war soon. Why don't you leave quickly?"
A woman's voice came from behind Xiao Yu and others.
When the puffer fish heard the woman's voice, it flicked its tail and sank directly into the water, disappearing.
"She should be a tigress. Even the puffer fish are afraid of her."
Xiao Yu and others turned around and looked at the place where the sound came from.
Only then did they discover that there was a wide road next to the river.
There was a woman standing on the roadside. She was dressed in white, like a fairy in a painting, with long black hair hanging down around her waist like a waterfall.
The moderately sized eyes are like two bright gems, and the snow-white skin can be broken by a blow. It is indeed a pleasure to see such a person in hell.
Xiao Yu and others were stunned by the woman's appearance. They had not touched women in the past year, so when they saw such a beautiful woman, they had different reactions.
Xiao Yu is not a saint, he also has seven emotions and six desires, not to mention Qinglong, his eyes began to become blurred, and his body actually reacted as a man should.
However, the two monks were extremely calm. They just glanced at the woman in white and then lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.
