Huang Shisan screamed out in fear as the True Qi in his body exploded. The ice shattered and the entire small wooden boat crumbled into pieces.
Xu Tianyuan quickly grabbed a few pieces and threw them towards the distance: "Quickly go!"
The two of them soared into the sky, and there were still small fishes rushing out from the Blackwater River. This scared Huang Shisan so much that his face paled.
With this step, a thick layer of ice immediately appeared under his feet, and showed signs of spreading towards his calves.
Xu Tianyuan continued to throw boards at the other side of the lake, borrowing the strength of the boards to travel to the other side.
The ice on Huang Shisan's legs grew thicker and thicker, he seemed to not be in a hurry, and even started laughing out loud: "Junior Brother Cai Cai, it's not bad to cross the river like this!"
Xu Tianyuan was a little surprised when he saw this. Ice, seemed to be a good thing too!
The two of them rushed onto the shore at the fastest speed possible. With Xu Tianyuan's final kick, the wooden board under his feet turned into dust.
Huang Shisan was still laughing, his calves were still wrapped in thick ice: "It's a pity that Senior Brother Long Tao did not come. This river should be his paradise, the yin energy he cultivates is dense..."
"No wonder his grasp turned to ice, but …" Xu Tianyuan felt that it was strange. A man had cultivated a martial art as strong as Yin Qi, could it be that Senior Brother Long Tao also had a special physique?
But the special physique between the heaven and earth wouldn't be overflowing!
It would be abnormal for a small Heavenly Cloud Sect to have so many special physiques.
Huang Shisan had even walked two rounds before the ice beneath his feet finally shattered with a loud bang. His face reddened. "This ice is so hard, this …"
His legs began to tremble, "So cold, the yin aura is too heavy. Why is the Blackwater River like this?"
"You don't know?"
Huang Shisan shook his head: "If there's not a problem underground, then it's just that there's a treasure at the bottom of the river, what a pity … I think even the Jindan Stage people would not dare to go to the bottom of the river.
As he spoke, Xu Tianyuan cut down a long bamboo shoot from the back. This bamboo had a completely black body and even the leaves were black.
Xu Tianyuan rose into the air and dove towards the water. When he was about to reach the surface of the water with the bamboo in his hand, Xu Tianyuan suddenly flew back, but he still had not reached the bottom yet?
"There's no need to try. No one knows how deep the Blackwater River is. Didn't you notice that there are no cities or villages nearby?" Huang Shisan took a deep breath, "Actually you really doubt how I know so many things."
Xu Tianyuan laughed, and the two of them carefully turned and walked towards the Black Crow Forest: "Then how do you know all this?"
"Actually, I don't know either. I told you before, I was tricked up the mountain by sabre holding elder using a chicken leg. And these things, I probably learned about before I went up the mountain. As for the matter before I went up the mountain, I only remember that I was ranked 13 at home. My family was very poor, I couldn't support myself, I ate too much, my parents also wanted to throw me away, but I have no impression of anything else! "
Huang Shisan's tone and heart were both heavy. Was it because he had been thrown away, or was it because of some unremembered memory?
"You suspect that there is something wrong with your background?"
Hearing Xu Tianyuan's words, Huang Shisan turned serious, but he still laughed out loud. "How is that possible, I'm wherever there is food, who cares about his background, who knows who he is!"
"Maybe there are other reasons why I sent you away. Maybe your family is not an ordinary family, and you won't be as poor as you think!"
Xu Tianyuan thought of his useless dream, his dream was something that no one would ever remember, but right now, he could clearly remember everything that happened in his dream, even the tiniest bit.
Xu Tianyuan knew that this was a method used by the Uncle Huang, so it shouldn't be a difficult thing to hide a person's memories!
Huang Shisan was evidently unwilling to say more, and did not speak further.
The two of them entered the forest. There was no road here at all, it was extremely dark inside, and even the place where the sun did not shine seemed pitch-black. The Black Crow Forest was indeed quite dark, so there shouldn't be any wild beasts in this strange place, right?
The ground was littered with weeds. These weeds were glossy enough to make people think that black oil would drip out.
No matter how you looked at it, it was strange.
"Thirteenth Senior Brother, I can't even tell the direction of this lousy place when I'm in. How do I get out later?"
Huang Shisan also shook his head, the kitchen knife in his hand, had carved a cross on every tree he passed by, obviously wanting to mark them.
It was only three to five hundred meters in, the same grass, the same trees. Turning around, he obviously came straight in, but he couldn't see the light coming in from behind.
Xu Tianyuan inhaled a breath of cold air: "Could it be that Song Gangming wants to trap me to death here?"
"He came in!"
Huang Shisan on the other hand, could think it through, so he did not think anymore. Carrying the Saint Weapon in his hand, with the sword tip pointed downwards, he dragged it on the ground, making a sound. In the quiet mountain forest, there was an additional sound, allowing the two people's hearts to feel a little more comfortable.
The Black Crow Forest was terrifyingly quiet. The two of them felt thirsty not long after they left. If it were not for the storage bag holding water, the two of them would have thought of a way to see if these trees and grasses could produce some water.
Furthermore, the deeper they went, the hotter it became. The trees and grasses in front were still black, and a type of flower started to appear here, this kind of flower was blood-red and extremely enchanting. Every single flower was about the size of a palm and had petals that seemed to be smiling at people.
"Senior-apprentice Brother, something's wrong!"
"Right, this damn place is too hot!"
The two carefully traversed the mountain ridges and arrived at the first mountain peak. Looking down, they saw darkness. Looking forward, they saw that it was still pitch black. The only difference was that the one in front of them seemed to be … There was a scorching hot spot that looked like a huge crater, but this crater was in the valley!
Where all the heat came from, and even the most outrageous thing around the crater was that the trees were too lush.
The trees were not black, but red, as if they were burning, and the color began to decline from the point near the crater to the outside, until it was all black.
"How can this be? Where are we?"
"That should be... The Fire Crow's residence! " Huang Shisan swallowed his saliva, "Furthermore, this should only be Black Earth Mountain or Black Crow Forest, one of the volcanoes."
As Huang Shisan said that, Duo Bao came out from the storage bag and landed on Xu Tianyuan's shoulder.
"Bullfrog also need water. They definitely won't be at the volcano. Should we go around it?"
Xu Tianyuan smiled, "Let's not try. Would these Fire Ravens be able to help us refine Fleming steel?"
