"Here...is this the moat?!"
Lian Qiao said in surprise, her face beaming with excitement, looking extremely happy.
"Yes, we're out of the moat." Shen Wuyou glanced at her and warned, "But there are a lot of guards. If you want to go home, you'd better control your voice."
"Oh... I'm sorry..." Her voice instantly died down, and she lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed.
After this incident, all the monsters quickly covered their mouths and secretly observed the surrounding scenes, investigating the movements of the guards, for fear that they would be discovered by the guards.
However, they gradually discovered a problem -
They got out, but how were they going to cross the moat?!
You must know that beneath the seemingly calm surface of the river, there are the water overlords specially raised by the Phoenix Power Country - the Yinxie fish and the human-faced shark!
Each of them is quite powerful, and once they fall into the water, they enter their territory. No matter how strong they are, they cannot exert their true strength in the restricted water.
"How are we going to get to the other side? The things in the water are so scary. They can bite us to death with one bite. We will be bitten to death!"
Cuscuta shivered as she clung to the rat demon, expressing her inner fear to the maximum extent and infecting the emotions of those around her.
When Shen Wuyou heard this, he suddenly looked at her. His eyes seemed to be cold as ice, which made the two demons shiver and were shocked.
"I... I'm just worried..." Dodder's voice trembled, but she continued to speak aggrievedly, "You probably don't know, right? The elusive fish and human-faced sharks in this water are so powerful that even a strong earth-level warrior would be torn off a layer of skin if he went into the water, let alone us..."
Upon hearing this, the demons paused, looking hesitantly at Shen Wuyou. They were a little afraid that she would admit what Dodder had said, and they felt panic in their hearts. Of course, there was also anger at being deceived.
"Did I ever say I didn't know? Did I ever say I let you into the water?"
Her voice was slightly cold, and her eyes were as cold as the moonlight.
Do you mean that she led a group of monsters to die without any preparation?
Just kidding, it doesn't matter whether she gives her this opportunity or not.
Cuscuta pursed her lips, looking like she was being bullied, and muttered softly:
"I'm only thinking about everyone's safety, why are you so fierce..." He looked as if he had been hit on the point.
"If you're scared, go back. No one is forcing you to come!"
Bai Wei couldn't stand this kind of pretentious demon, especially the one who deliberately used those unclear words to mislead everyone's thinking. She had no idea what she was thinking!
Shen Wuyou was surprised by her righteous words. He smiled at her, then turned around and cast a spell on the calm river surface.
Not all monsters in the monster clan have brains. Some monsters who already had doubts in their hearts saw that Dodder, who stood up for them and raised questions, was humiliated in this way. They immediately glared at Bai Wei and Shen Wuyou, who had her back to them, and wanted to confront them to demand an explanation.
But before they could open their mouths, ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the river, and then the waves surged like a strong wind, as if something under the water was about to burst out of the water!
At this moment, the confused demons all held their breath in panic, staring at the surging river with wide eyes in fear, and took some steps back.
Immediately afterwards, a water plant covered with dark green algae flocs suddenly emerged from the pitch-black river surface. Its roots were as thick as a thumb, and it sparkled with a strange luster under the cold moonlight.
"What...what is this?" asked a demon.
Shen Wuyou said in a faint voice: "Water grass."
Hearing this, the demon wanted to ask something, but suddenly heard a few splashes of water. Looking back, he saw dozens of equally thick and flexible water plants emerging from the water at the same time.
And those water plants seemed to be alive, twisting their bodies and entangled with the surrounding water plants.
Soon, the water plants were woven into a net-shaped bridge, connecting the two sides of the moat.
Shen Wuyou took a few steps forward, stepped onto the bridge made of waterweed, stepped on it, and then looked back at them:
"Be careful when crossing the bridge or the river. The bridge is very slippery. Don't fall off."
The demons looked at each other, shame in their eyes. Then, with their lips pursed and their heads lowered, they followed her instructions and carefully stepped onto the bridge...
"oops!"
Suddenly there was a cry of surprise.
Then the slippery bridge surface began to shake, and the monsters were so frightened that they quickly clenched their hands and held on tightly to the edge of the net-shaped bridge surface.
After stabilizing itself, the Blue Pheasant Demon looked at the frightened look on his beloved's face and immediately growled at the demon-making Cuscuta.
"what you do?!"
"Why are you so fierce!" Cuscuta seemed to be stunned by the roar, and then she retorted with tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Is it my fault? The bridge was obviously too slippery and I just slipped accidentally!"
"you--!"
He was not good at speaking, and at this moment he was choked by the retort, he really didn't know what to say, but his angry eyes were staring at her tightly, with a fierce and terrifying look.
"Why are you glaring at me! I didn't mean to do that! I was obviously very careful, who knew that..." As she spoke, she began to cry.
Dodder grows by climbing, and its breath is as soft and gentle as silk. Even when it is angry and noisy, it is soft and weak, which makes people feel pity for it and unconsciously arouse a desire to protect it.
Then, one of the demons couldn't help but feel pity for her and spoke up for her: "Brother Song, she is a plant demon after all, and she is naturally delicate and tender. How can she compare with the rough and tumble people like us? Besides, she didn't mean it."
"That's what I mean..." the next flower protector continued.
"Plant monsters aren't good at this. Falling means death, who wouldn't be afraid? Look at the one in your arms, isn't he afraid too... He's unprotected, so he's already doing very well. Besides, we're all fine, so there's no need to keep clinging to him and being aggressive."
"I'm aggressive?!" Brother Song pointed at his nose in disbelief.
"Forget it, Brother Song. Now is not the time to worry about these things. I'm fine too..." Wei Yu spoke slowly, giving people an inexplicable sense of tranquility.
She reached out and pulled down his arm, then patted his chest to calm him down.
"Hmph!" He didn't want to swallow this anger. If it were under normal circumstances, he would definitely have argued with these monsters to the end!
But what Wei Yu said makes sense.
Besides, he didn't want to offend her.
So he just snorted angrily, turned around and ignored them.
The group of demons continued walking, no one said a word. Except for Bai Wei, who noticed something was going on and came to Shen Wuyou's side and asked quietly:
"The noise just now was quite loud, but the guards didn't make a sound. Could this be a trick?"
