The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 241 Get on the Ship
Jiang Xi squatted by the water, with a flashlight on, and slowly swept across the water.The water is very calm, with only occasional ripples.From time to time, there is a dark wind coming from the position above our heads, which seems to have a vent above.

Jiang Xi flicked the flashlight upwards, but the place was hollowed out, forming a huge hollow. The flashlight couldn't hit the top at all, so naturally he couldn't see the scene above clearly.I looked at it for a while, and thought: If this water can really corrode living things, what if the people of Yumen want to enter the 'Secret Palace'?
There must be a way to safely cross these waters, right?

Just as we were thinking, Jiang Xi's light hit the stone wall on our left, and as soon as we hit it, a large object suddenly appeared in the darkness.Tang Linlin, who had become a little silent since what happened just now, couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw this thing: "Wow, there is actually a boat here? Are we going to go there by boat?"

On the surface of the water to our left, there was a shuttle boat. The boat was not big, and it should be able to accommodate five or six people.The color of the hull is very bright, vermilion is painted with colorful paint, I wonder if someone often touches up the paint, the boat is soaked in the water, but the paint has not peeled off at all, as if it has just been painted, the bright red color suddenly appears in the darkness , looked particularly eye-catching, set off the surrounding darkness, and had a weird atmosphere.

There is a boat in this place, which really surprised us, but after thinking about it, it seems to be a matter of course.

Without wearing it, how can the people of Yumen pass by themselves?

But if the boat is placed here, outsiders can take the boat directly, so the rotten water in this pool is useless?
This is really a contradiction. Before I could figure it out, Jiang Xi took two steps back slightly, followed by a run-up, took three big steps, and leaped all over the body, jumping directly onto the red boat.

Immediately, the not-so-big shuttle boat swayed, and the calm of the water surface was broken.

Jiang Xi kept the posture of getting off the boat and knelt halfway, grabbing the side of the boat, but when the boat was stable, he stood up straight, turned down the flashlight, and observed the interior of the boat.From my point of view, I can only see the ropes inside the boat and the wooden oars beside it, and the rest can't be seen clearly.

You know, where we are now, we are four or five meters away from the vermilion shuttle boat, this kid actually...

The people who came out of Yumen Division's torture hall must be too insane in their skills!
Tang Linlin tugged at my sleeve worryingly, and said, "He will definitely row away by himself."

I'm not sure, Jiang Xi is a strange person, call him bad, he just saved my life and Tang Linlin's life, he is both good and evil, it's hard to say for sure.Jiang Xi looked around, and seemed to have seen enough, put the flashlight in his waist, stretched out his hand to grab the oars and started to paddle, and the boat landed on the shore within two steps.

He didn't say anything, but he was obviously signaling Tang Linlin and me to go up.Now it was Tang Linlin's turn to be puzzled, she muttered in a low voice, she didn't know what she was talking about.At this moment, we have no other way out but to move forward.If the situation of Tan Ren and Zhou Xuanye is unknown, the only thing Tang Linlin and I can do is to find the main hub of the agency, which may reduce the burden on Zhou Xuanye and the others.Once there is no mechanism in this place, it will be easier for them to escape under Yumen's pursuit.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh, if it wasn't for the damn fox fairy inside me, why would the three of Tan Ren be in such a mess.

Thinking of the origin of this fox fairy, the father and son of the Fu family, and the little ghost hiding in the god's seat with only one head at this moment, I feel uneasy.I can't guess what Jiang Xi's intentions are, so I can only take one step at a time.

After getting on the boat, he handed the oars to Tang Linlin and me, signaling for us to row, while he himself sat halfway in the bow of the boat, constantly observing the surroundings with a flashlight, appearing very vigilant.The three of them performed their own duties, rowed the boat, and headed towards the opposite side of the water.

The boat was quite stable in the water, and the water below was no different from ordinary water. I don't know if what Jiang Xi heard was true.But soon, I knew that his words were not false, because Tang Linlin and I had never rowed a boat before, so we were not very familiar with how to control the oars. I didn't control it well, and some water droplets splashed, and two of them happened to splash on her wrist.

She yelled and let go quickly. When I looked sideways, I saw two peeling spots on the wrist, as if scalded by boiling water.Jiang Xi turned her head when she heard the voice, and pointed the flashlight at Tang Linlin. The three of us stared at the wound on our wrist, and couldn't help being silent for a while.

This water actually has a corrosive effect.

Just two drops of water are so powerful, if there is something wrong with the boat and people fall, wouldn't it be...

Tang Linlin swallowed her saliva, with a look of horror on her face: "What on earth has been added to the surface of the water?"

Jiang Xi didn't answer, maybe because he didn't know, or maybe because he said lazily, the people in Yumen seem to have this kind of virtue, and they don't bother to talk to outsiders like us.

I said, "Let's paddle ashore quickly, it's too dangerous to float on such water."

Of course the other two were meaningless, Tang Linlin and I started rowing again immediately, this time Tang Linlin learned a lesson and rowed better than me.The bright red one, like a gorgeous blood-stained ship, broke through the darkness and moved forward in the dim yellow halo.

Jiang Xi turned back and ignored us. The water area is not too big. Soon, we will be able to vaguely see the shore.

Just about 20 meters away from the shore, I suddenly found that our boat stopped moving forward.

Tang Linlin and I were obviously rowing, but the boat seemed to be nailed in place.

what happened?

My heart skipped a beat, knowing something was wrong.

In fact, this boat is a bit strange. I didn’t think about it so much before. Now that I know that the water can really corrode living things, I have a more ominous guess in my heart: Could this boat be a bait?

However, this guess turned out to be true.

The boat stopped abruptly for no reason, which caught the three of us by surprise.

Tang Linlin sweated profusely: "What's going on! Damn it." As she spoke, she lowered her head to look at the water, as if she wanted to see if our boat was caught by something.I also turned my head to look into the water next to me, only to see that in the light of the flashlight, the water quality was very clear, and I couldn't see any tricks at all.

Tang Linlin said: "There must be something wrong with the bottom of the boat, but...but we can't see the bottom of the boat!"

Jiang Xi's black hair was braided by him, and he seemed to find it difficult at the moment, so he tossed his braids back and said, "Didn't you raise a little ghost, let him come out and go to the bottom of the boat have a look."

"You know this?" I was a little surprised, but then I thought about it, I have a fox fairy on me, so he can see it too. Raising a little ghost will naturally be contaminated with ghosts, so it is not surprising for him to see it.Dang even asked Xiao An: "Can you still come out?"

The little ghost didn't show up, and his voice was a little weak: "I can't do it, I want to sleep." Of course the ghost can't sleep, it should be too weak now.

When Jiang Xi heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his expressionless face: "How can your ghost be so weak?"

Tang Linlin didn't know about this, and she was quite worried: "Weak? Did something happen to Xiao An?"

Xiaoan was hacked by Zhou Laoer, who had a split personality. Of course, I didn't tell Tang Linlin about this, so I put it off and said, "I don't know what happened, it probably ran out by itself and got hurt by some powerful people." gone."

Jiang Xi said, "Feed it a drop of blood."

Essence?

"How to feed? What's the use of feeding blood?"

Jiang Xi frowned, and said coldly: "You don't even know this, and you still raise little ghosts? To collect ghosts, in exchange for essence and blood, from now on, you can subdue ghosts for your own use, and the power will be even greater. have no idea?"

Zhou Xuanye never mentioned this to me.

"For my use? Will it cause harm to the ghost body?"

Jiang Xi seemed a little impatient, and said: "It will only make it stronger, and it will not cause any harm." After a pause, he added: "But ghosts cannot be reborn from now on."

Tang Linlin immediately said, "It's too cruel."

Xiao An also shouted: "You can't treat me like this!" It seemed that Jiang Xi's words were quite frightened.

The male monster, Zhou Xuanye, didn't tell me about it. Presumably he knew that it was impossible for me to subdue Xiao An in that way, so he didn't tell me.

I immediately rejected Jiang Xi's proposal and said, "Think of a way."

Seeing that I didn't accept it, Xiaoan popped up a head and said, "I'll stick to it, go into the water to have a look, brother should protect younger brother, you wait." After speaking, he got into the water all at once.
