Couple cultivating immortality: My Taoist partner and I grew up through planting

Chapter 289 Shadow in the Heart
"Everyone come and get on the boat quickly. There are no leeches on the boat." Yu Wen reminded everyone and was the first to get on the boat.

The others ignored the leeches that kept flying towards them and quickly moved towards the ironwood boat.

When they got closer to the iron boat, they found that the area around it was completely clean, without a single moving leech. Even the leeches that were originally attached to their spiritual shield had disappeared at some point.

"Haha... Fellow Daoist Han, I'm lucky to have you." Liu Yue was so happy that her eyes were full of admiration when she looked at Han Xin.

Liu Ming gently pushed Liu Yue and said, "What's the situation now? Why should we stop and talk now? If you want to say anything, wait until we get on the boat."

Liu Yue made a naughty face at her brother and turned to get on the boat.

Zhao Yu and Feng Caixia, who were afraid of being left behind, had already boarded the boat. The last person to board was Shi Yan.

When she got on the boat, Feng Caixia found that the leeches were far away from the boat and she finally relaxed. However, she had just relaxed and immediately became nervous again.

"Sail the boat, what's going on? Why don't you sail the boat?"

The ironwood boat was small to begin with, and Feng Caixia's voice was so sharp and thin that it seemed to explode in everyone's ears.

Everyone was very dissatisfied with her yelling.

Yu Wen was about to curse when Zhao Yu couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Shut up."

Feng Caixia not only did not calm down because of his words, but instead shouted to Zhao Yu: "Brother Yu, quickly let them start the boat. If those leeches react later, it will be too late for us to escape."

She thought Zhao Yu yelled at her because he didn't think of this, but it didn't matter, she would remind Brother Yu.

"I told you to shut up."

The boat was clearly moving forward, but its speed was not much faster than that of a turtle. Fellow Daoist Yu had mentioned before that the disadvantage of this underground river was its strong suction force, just like those leeches, which would not let go once they latched onto a person's body.

He just noticed that the ironwood boat was being controlled by Fellow Daoist Yu's spiritual sense.

It must be very tiring, right?
I don't know if Daoist Yu can bring everyone to the other side with his spiritual sense alone.
Zhao Yu turned his gaze towards the other side of the river. He could still see it. It was only about 300 meters away. Normally, it would only take a few steps to get there, but now it was difficult to move an inch.

It's worrying just looking at it.

Feng Caixia curled her lips, her eyes full of grievance. Brother Yu had never yelled at her like this before.

How could he yell at me? I was thinking about their safety.

Zhao Yu looked away and met Feng Caixia's aggrieved eyes. Thinking that he would need her to charge ahead of him in the future, he hid the disgust that was about to arise in him and comforted her with a voice transmission: "I didn't mean to yell at you. You just said the wrong thing. The boat is not not moving, but it is not moving fast. Have you forgotten what Fellow Daoist Yu said before? There is something wrong with the water in the underground river. Feel it carefully. I yelled at you for your own good. You don't want to be scolded by that Liu guy like before, right?"

After Zhao Yu's explanation, Feng Caixia realized that she had made a mistake. She cursed in her heart, then smiled and transmitted her voice, "I didn't forget, Brother Yu, I was just too nervous just now. You know, I am most afraid of those soft-bodied monsters. I was so nervous that I didn't notice that the boat was moving."

After that, he defended himself, "This speed is really too slow. We are hardly moving forward at all."

"Okay, we better be careful later. I don't know how long the juice can scare the leeches." Zhao Yu looked at the boat planks below with worry. It might not be long before the water below washed away the mugwort juice applied to the bottom of the boat, and then the boat planks below would be eaten by leeches.

Feng Caixia didn't know Zhao Yu's worries. She only knew that her brother Yu cared about her. "I will be careful. Brother Yu should also be extra careful."

Not only Zhao Yu thought of what might happen under the boat, but among all the people on the boat, Feng Caixia was probably the only one who didn't think of it.

From time to time, everyone would use their spiritual sense to check the bottom of the boat.

It is possible that the hull still had the smell of mugwort, which caused the leeches below to not dare to approach the ironwood boat, or it is possible that the mugwort juice on the bottom of the boat had not yet been washed away.

Anyway, after an incense stick of time had passed, the leeches were still far away from their boat.

During the process of crossing the river, everyone was always on guard and cautious, but until the ironwood boat reached the opposite shore, the leeches did not dare to approach their boat.

They could all feel that the smell of mugwort on the boat was getting weaker and weaker. When they got ashore, there was almost no smell of mugwort on the ironwood boat.

Everyone was puzzled. Could it be that he still had some psychological trauma?
Yu Wen put the ironwood boat into the storage ring. Just as they took two steps, the leeches that were originally more than ten meters away from them suddenly swarmed towards them.

Everyone was shocked and quickly covered their bodies with a layer of flames. Immediately, a burning smell came from the tunnel.

But those leeches didn't seem to be afraid of death, and they flew towards them one after another.

Everyone wanted to speed up, but the road ahead of them was blocked by dense leeches.

People who have fire spiritual roots are better off, as their spiritual power consumption is not too great. But people who do not have fire spiritual roots have to rely entirely on other spiritual roots to convert the fire they emit, which consumes a lot of spiritual energy. It doesn't take long before a lot of spiritual energy in the body is consumed.

Maybe it's because these leeches are produced in the underground river. There are so many of them, and with the help of gravity, their speed of moving forward is not much faster than in the river.

This is not a good thing.

How come there are still so many leeches attacking them even though they have reached the shore?
Everyone didn't know that because the ironwood boat filled with the smell of mugwort that they had released had been swimming for so long, the leeches were extremely angry. Knowing that the smell was their nemesis, these people still let them smell it for so long, and many of their companions were suffocated to death by the smell.

They are living well in this underground river. Why do these monks come to disturb their peace?

Seeing that the stinking boat was taken away, it would be strange if they did not retaliate against these people.

Even if many of their companions died, they would still avenge them.

Drain all their blood.

Han Xin found that their speed was getting slower and slower. If they continued like this, their spiritual power would be exhausted sooner or later, and the speed at which elixirs replenished spiritual power would never be as fast as the consumption.

Thinking of the leeches' fear of the iron boat, Han Xin immediately shouted to Yu Wen, "Yu Daoyou, the iron boat."

Yu Wen's eyes lit up, and he no longer cared about the dense swarm of leeches in front of him. He waved his hand and took out the iron and wooden boat. With that wave of his hand, hundreds of leeches were immediately burned.
