"Oh, I see!" Tang Yin nodded his head, at that time, when Feng Country went into battle, the two hundred thousand strong army suffered a crushing defeat, but in the end, not many people escaped back, as this battle had caused great damage to the Feng Country. He sighed and said, "Your brother is completely loyal to the nation and has sacrificed his life for the country. He was born with the Feng Country, and even if he died, he would still be a hero of the Feng Country."

Hearing Tang Yin's words, Zhao An was moved, and said: "If Master can say that, then Big Brother can also smile in the underworld."

Tang Yin chatted with Zhao An as they travelled, he did not feel bored at all. After walking for a long time, just as Le Tian, Ai Jia and Cheng Jin were feeling impatient, Zhao An stopped and turned to smile at Tang Yin: "Master, we're here!"

Everyone's spirits were lifted as they looked in every direction. This place could be said to be desolate. In front of him was the Pan River River and behind him was a majestic beautiful mountain. The forest was dense and overgrown with weeds, and the ground was littered with rocks.

Cheng Jin walked to the side of the river and looked inside. Without looking at the bottom, he casually picked up a rock fragment and threw it into the river, and with a dull thumping sound, the rock fragment instantly sank to the bottom of the river. Cheng Jin did not know how deep the river went, but he felt that it should not be a problem if it did not surpass someone's head. He turned his head to look at Zhao An, and asked: "This is the shore you spoke of?"

Zhao An laughed dryly and said: "Only when the tide falls in August and September will the river waters here become shallow. It's only in April now, and the river waters are very deep."

Tang Yin asked: "Where is the rope that is connected to the other side?"

"Here!" Zhao An walked to the front of a giant boulder, squatted down, and first pushed away the weeds on the ground, then moved a few rocks away. He reached out and grabbed onto the ground, grabbed onto a rope that was as thick as two fingers, and forcefully pulled it.

What this person said was true! Tang Yin walked up quickly, lowered his head and carefully looked at the thick rope, then threw his head towards Cheng Jin and said: "Cheng Jin, pull it down and try!"

"Yes!" "My Lord!"

Cheng Jin stepped forward quickly and caught the rope. First, he covered his hands with the Spirit Armor, and then, like a Iron Forceps, he tightly held onto the rope, using all his strength to suddenly pull back. There was a snapping sound, and the rope, which was originally hidden in the river, bounced off the river surface. In order to confirm his judgement, he pulled back the rope at full power several times in a row. The rope was tightly pulled, and it was barely discernible on the surface of the river, to the point where he could vaguely see the shadow of the rope appearing on the other side. He exhaled, and at the same time, put down the rope after scattering the Two-Handed Spirit Armor, and nodded to Tang Yin, indicating that he was right.

Tang Yin's smile became wider as he looked at Zhao An and asked: "Zhao An, do you usually drag this rope across the river?"

"Yes, my lord. With this rope, swimming to the other side is very easy. That is, you don't have to worry about sinking to the bottom of the river, and you don't have to worry about being washed away by the river." Zhao An laughed and said.

Tang Yin held onto his abdomen with one hand, and slowly bent down, while carefully inspecting the rope, he muttered: "Not bad, not bad, you're actually quite smart!"

"This lowly one has only crossed the river for the sake of saving money, please excuse my lord …" Zhao An rubbed his rough hands together as he laughed dryly.

Tang Yin smiled and did not speak. His eyes turned back and forth as he calculated in his heart if he could cross the river using this rope. He did not know how to swim, but he felt that if he was uninjured and could use this rope as a support, crossing the river would not be a problem. At most, he would only be able to swim a few mouthfuls of water. As he thought about it, he looked at Le Tian, Ai Jia, and Cheng Jin. He asked, "If you use this rope, will you be able to cross the river?"

Le Tian and Ai Jia looked at each other and replied at the same time, "Sure."

Cheng Jin was even more straightforward as he shrugged off the outer clothes on his body and said: "Master, let me try!"

This suited Tang Yin's intentions. He nodded and said, "Cheng Jin, be careful."

"Yes sir!"

Cheng Jin took off his clothes and shoes, with only his shorts on, he grabbed onto the rope and quickly walked into the river. Not long after, he already walked more than twenty meters out. At this time, the river water was already enough to cover his head, but with the help of the ropes, Cheng Jin did not sink down, only his small head was exposed on the river surface.

Tang Yin, Le Tian and Ai Jia watched from the shore. As Cheng Jin went deeper and deeper into the river, their hearts gradually rose to their throats. Before long, Cheng Jin was already a hundred meters deep into the river, but he did not sink down. From afar, he looked like only a small black dot floating on the river surface.

Seeing till here, Tang Yin was already relieved. Since it was fine for Cheng Jin to be able to swim a hundred meters in the water, then it was no problem for him to cross the river smoothly. This Zhao An had truly helped his side greatly, as if the heavens themselves were helping him. Just as he was secretly excited, suddenly, there was movement on the other side, as a Peng Army Patrol Unit consisting of ten people walked over from the west.

The river surface was originally more than three hundred meters wide and at such a long distance, ordinary people would not be able to clearly see the situation on the other side. However, with Tang Yin's astonishing eyesight and the abnormally conspicuous red armor on his Peng Army, he immediately discovered the enemy's figure. Tang Yin secretly cursed, and said in a deep voice: "Oh no, Peng Army's patrol is coming!" After saying that, he bent down to pick up a piece of broken stone, and then, he pulled Zhao An who was beside him and hid him behind a huge boulder. Although Le Tian and Ai Jia didn't see where the enemy was, they reacted quickly and immediately laid down on the ground, borrowing the cover of the weeds on the ground to hide their traces.

Tang Yin saw the Peng Army Patrol Unit, but Cheng Jin, who was fighting in the middle of the river and did not know, did not dare to remind him again. Tang Yin stuck his head out and looked in Cheng Jin's direction, his wrist trembling violently, and the stone in his hand flew out, flying straight towards Cheng Jin.

"Pu!"

The stone was not big, and when it fell into the water, it did not make much noise, but the stone was not wrong, and just happened to fall into the water in front of Cheng Jin. The latter did not understand what happened, and instinctively turned to look at Tang Yin and the rest. But at this time, there was no one on the shore. It was empty, as if Tang Yin and the other two just disappeared into thin air.

What was going on? Even if the Lord and the others wanted to leave, they could not leave him alone! Cheng Jin was startled, but he quickly regained his senses and anxiously retracted his gaze. He grabbed onto the rope, stretched his neck and looked at the shore in front of him, only to see the Peng Army Patrol Unit walking over.

Cheng Jin's head buzzed. If he was discovered, it would be terrible, and even this rope that could allow him to cross the river would not be able to protect himself. Thinking about this, he took a deep breath, lowered his body, and entered the river.

The speed of this Peng Army Patrol was not fast, as if they had been working hard all day, the soldiers' faces were filled with intense exhaustion. When they walked, there was not even a single person speaking, it was lifeless. They walked slowly along the shore, occasionally glancing at the opposite shore, but seeing nothing out of the ordinary, Fang withdrew his gaze and continued to walk and patrol mechanically.

Their movements were slow, but Tang Yin's was so anxious that he was almost on fire. Cheng Jin was currently resting in the river and might be fine after a couple of minutes, but if things went on for too long, no one would be able to take it.

Time slowly passed, but the Peng Army Patrol was still walking at a leisurely pace. Only after what felt like a century had passed did Tang Yin and the rest finally walk far away. Tang Yin held onto another piece of rock, and with the same method and strength as before, he flung the rock into the river.

After waiting for a while, there was no reaction from the river, and Cheng Jin did not reveal his head. Seeing that, Tang Yin secretly cursed, and jumped out from behind the boulder, and before he had time to take off his shoes and pants, he jumped into the river. Le Tian and Ai Jia who were lying on the ground were shocked, they both jumped up and forcefully pulled Tang Yin, and anxiously said: "Master, it's dangerous."

Right now, Tang Yin had already lost one of the pillars of the Dark Arrow, but he could no longer lose Cheng Jin's body. Not caring about anything else, he pushed Le Tian and Ai Jia away, wanting to continue jumping into the river, but right at that moment, he heard a pounce from the river, and after holding his breath for five to six minutes, Cheng Jin stuck his head out. It was as though the oxygen in his body had dried.

Seeing that Cheng Jin was fine, Tang Yin's body stiffened for a moment. Following that, he laughed as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders, and his heart that was at his throat finally dropped back down. He took two steps back, slowly sat on the ground, and was slightly out of breath.

Because an enemy patrol just passed by, Cheng Jin didn't dare to continue walking towards the other side. He grabbed onto the rope and quickly retreated.

After he went ashore, Le Tian and Ai Jia immediately brought his clothes up to him and helped him put it on. It was as if Cheng Jin had just experienced a fierce battle as he panted heavily and after a while, he walked in front of Tang Yin and grinned: "Master, it was so close just now, I was almost discovered by Peng Army's patrol."

Ai Jia said from the side: "When Master saw that you were staying in the river and had not come out for a long time, he wanted to go into the water to save you. Luckily, Le Tian and I managed to stop him."

Cheng Jin was stunned at first, but then, his heart was also full of emotions. He cupped his hands towards Tang Yin and said, "My Lord …"

Tang Yin waved his hand and interrupted him, not bringing up the matter any further, and asked instead: "With the help of the rope, how do you feel after entering the water?"

"Not bad, but if you want to cross the river by rope, you still need a lot of strength." Cheng Jin answered truthfully.
