Hope rekindled in the hearts of the awakened ones.
A secret realm owner began to verify it impatiently!
However, bad news soon came out.
The boatman refused the passenger!
The boatmen chosen by the Quicksand River refused to take the awakened ones on board, even if they were the masters of the secret realm.
This may just be a coincidence, and the awakened people still have hope in their hearts.
But what happened next made everyone realize that things were not that simple.
[The boatman in the Bull Market Secret Realm stated that from today onwards, awakened individuals are prohibited from crossing the river!]
[Three boatmen in the secret area of King City have announced that they will suspend operations!]
[Several boatmen in the secret area of xx city revealed that it is under renovation and closed to the public.]
[Inhumane! A boatman deliberately carried five Awakened Ones to the middle of a river, then flipped them over and threw them into the water. No one survived.]
“…”
At this moment, almost all the boatmen in the secret realm publicly stated that no matter what the price the awakened person paid, they would not take him across the river.
Even if the awakened ones use some means to force them to pick up passengers, the boatmen will still trip them up on the boat.
The Liusha River is different from the rivers outside.
Once caught in it, any seventh-level awakener will die.
What on earth happened?
Why would all the neutral boatmen actually help the lab?
Everyone is guessing.
…
In a small secret place.
The air was filled with mist, ripples appeared on the river surface, and a breeze blew by, bringing a slight coolness.
A quaint little boat was floating on the water. A boatman wearing a straw raincoat was sitting on the bow, rowing the boat leisurely.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard on the shore.
Like someone is approaching.
The boatman said calmly without even looking up, "It's no use asking me for help. I won't take you across the river. This is not something I can disobey. I'm just following orders."
"Also, from now on... the spiritual well on the other side of the river will also be available at different time periods..."
"Oh? Whose order?"
A familiar voice sounded, and the boatman was shocked when he heard it, then turned around stiffly.
A pair of eyes almost popped out of their heads.
It's him!
That person is back again!
I haven't seen that man for a long time!
Recalling this period of time.
Those were its most leisurely days, and it only heard of this man's deeds when it occasionally carried patrolmen across the river.
Breaking into forbidden areas, tearing apart alien spirits with bare hands, and furiously slashing at seventh-level awakeners...
“…”
Every piece of news shocked it for a long time.
But fortunately, it hasn't seen the man for a long time, and he probably won't come back.
But today... that familiar figure brought its memory back to the past.
He has become more terrifying than before!
…
The visitor was Qiao Yuan. After figuring out the specialness of the boulder, he decided to ask the boatman in person why he didn't carry any passengers.
I just happened to hear the other party giving orders!
Whose order?
Aren’t all boatmen special spirits formed by this river?
Who is qualified to command all the boatmen?
"It's its order." The boatman told the truth and pointed to the river.
"Tell me in detail." Qiao Yuan said lightly.
“…”
The Quicksand River runs through all the secret realms. There are many boatmen on the river. They are all special spirits who are chosen by the Quicksand River and cannot leave it for the rest of their lives.
Their lives come from that small wooden boat.
As long as the ship is alive, the spirit is alive; when the ship dies, the spirit dies.
But just a week ago, all the boatmen received an order in their minds!
It is not allowed to carry awakened people across the river without permission!
You know, for the secret realm, the most precious spiritual well is always on the other side of the river.
On the surface, the Lord of the Secret Realm has the highest status, but in fact, this kind of boatman cannot be ignored!
If the boatman is lost, the secret realm will lose its greatest benefit.
The person who issued the order called himself "River God"
Named after God.
You can imagine how mysterious and terrifying it is.
Several boatmen coveted the awakened ones' travel expenses and did not comply. As a result, their boats were destroyed and their souls died, falling into the bottomless quicksand river forever, suffering torture and torment.
“…”
Is there a God in this world?
For ordinary people, a seventh-level awakener is enough to be called a god!
So... this river god is most likely a powerful alien spirit or something else.
…
"Take me to see the river god!" Qiao Yuan said.
The person who tied the bell must untie it.
Find the source and change the command!
If it doesn't change, beat it up, and if that doesn't work, just kill it.
Who cares about that bullshit god? The demise of the laboratory is an inevitable trend and no one can stop it!
"No, you are definitely going to cause trouble for the river god. If I lead the way, I will die." The boatman quickly refused.
"It's been a while since we last met. You seem much more alert now. So... are you planning to test the consequences of not giving me a ride?"
Boatman: “…”
At this point it is caught in a dilemma.
Carrying passengers means death, and not carrying passengers means death.
It's just a small minion. What does your fight with you two have to do with it?
Seeing the boatman hesitate, Qiao Yuan drew his sword.
The shiny and strange knife reflected a cold light, which scared the boatman so much that he almost fell to the bottom of the river.
"Don't... don't draw your sword. I'll give you a ride. Isn't that enough?"
“…”
The boat docked at the shore. Qiao Yuan jumped into it lightly and then sat at the stern.
"By the way, let me ask you something. How far is this secret realm from the entrance to the Death Realm in the laboratory?"
"Twenty-three hours." The boatman thought for a moment and replied.
"How do you know so clearly?"
"The war between your Human Security Bureau and the laboratory has spread not only to the Awakened circle, but also to the alien spirit circle."
