"There are corpses all below."
Standing by the wooden boat, Lu Ning could vaguely see the shadows of some bloated corpses below through the dim yellow river water.
They were densely packed together, and there were a great many of them.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then their faces turned ashen.
They hadn't even had a chance to speak.
Suddenly, the wooden boat rocked violently, and a pale arm climbed onto the side of the boat.
There were green, rotting marks on his arm, and even worms were wriggling on it.
As the first arm climbed up, the thumping sound continued.
Pale arms kept climbing up the hull of the wooden boat, in great numbers!
These arms climbed onto the wooden boat, which immediately began to shake violently, seemingly on the verge of capsizing.
It was only because the dead wood was extremely sturdy that it was likely to have been torn apart by these corpses long ago!
Even so, if the wooden boat capsizes and everyone falls into the Yellow Springs, they will still die without a burial place!
The Azure Mist Saint immediately condensed a storm and used the gale to press down on the bottom of the wooden ship as ballast.
This finally stabilized the violently rocking wooden boat.
However, after the wooden boat was stabilized, the Yellow Spring Water suddenly burst open, splashing water everywhere.
Amidst the yellowish water, bloated corpses leaped out of the Yellow Springs and pounced towards Lu Ning and his group.
Lu Ning's face was icy cold, and a scarlet sword appeared in his hand, its light sweeping across the area.
A large number of corpses were shredded by the sword light, and the pieces of flesh and river water fell to the ground at the same time.
Some scraps of meat and river water fell inside the wooden boat, and some fell outside.
The others also used their own methods.
An Lan used an energy cannon to shoot down the corpse, while Qinglan Saint condensed a large number of wind blades to shred the corpse.
Yang Yin and Steve, engaged in close combat, hurriedly dodged the pieces of flesh and Yellow Spring water falling from the sky.
Jerry, who was assisting, was also running around the cabin with his head in his hands.
In a mere instant, all the corpses were strangled.
Large pieces of minced meat were found on the wooden boat.
As for the Yellow Spring water, it was absorbed after touching the wooden boat, and the withered wooden boat remained dry.
Some of the Yellow Spring Water fell on Lu Ning and the others.
Fortunately, An Lan had made preparations beforehand. The withered wood armor covered her entire body, and as long as her eyes were protected, she didn't need to worry about being touched by the Yellow Spring water and being corroded.
Before the group could even breathe a sigh of relief after killing the corpses, the next moment, swollen and rotting corpses emerged halfway out of the churning river.
The twisted, swollen faces of all the corpses had murky eyes staring straight at the wooden boat and the people on it.
The river, nearly a kilometer wide and of unknown length, was filled with countless corpses.
Everyone's face turned ashen instantly.
"Row faster!" An Lan reacted immediately, roaring, "Steve, Yang Yin, Jerry, none of you three can fight at long range, so focus on rowing! Lu Ning, you lead the way! Qing Lan, try to use the wind to propel the boat from behind! Get moving!"
Hearing An Lan's roar, the others also reacted.
Steve and the others immediately returned to their positions and began paddling.
Lu Ning then arrived at the bow of the ship.
Beneath the withered wood armor, the Killing Armor once again covered Lu Ning's body.
Lu Ning took a deep breath, and his crimson sword unleashed a streak of red and white light.
However, the sword light began to shrink rapidly upon touching the deathly aura rising above the river, its power diminishing considerably compared to its effect in the wilderness.
Even so, the corpses floating on the surface of the Yellow Springs were still shattered by the sword light.
Under the sword's light, the Yellow Springs Water exploded and splashed everywhere, accompanied by bits of rotting flesh.
Meanwhile, at the rear, Saint Qinglan used the gale to press down the bottom of the cabin to prevent the wooden boat from being overturned by the corpses in the water. On the other hand, she held a high-risk soul weapon and used the power of the storm to blow towards the water behind her, trying to propel the wooden boat forward.
The storm's power 'dies' instantly upon contact with the river water, and its propulsive force is far less than imagined.
However, since Saint Qinglan had given it his all, he still managed to generate a powerful thrust, which, combined with the rowing of the others, propelled the wooden boat to new heights.
In just one breath, it flew dozens of meters.
Behind the wooden boat, rotting corpses roared and chased after it, forming a pale wave on the murky yellow river surface.
Seeing that this method was effective, the Sage Qinglan was overjoyed and immediately gathered a strong wind again to propel the wooden boat forward.
Each time the Azure Mist Saint exerted his full strength, he was able to push the wooden boat a certain distance.
This distance is almost negligible for the strength of the Azure Mist Saint, but above the Yellow Springs, it is a giant step towards life!
In just a short while, the wooden boat was only three hundred meters away from the opposite bank.
Everyone was overjoyed. Once they were on land, they would no longer be powerless to fight back, nor would they have to worry about the corpses in the river!
Just then, the river waves began to surge violently.
From beneath the water's surface came an extremely deep roar.
The roar seemed to shake the soul, even making the Azure Mist Saint's expression extremely solemn.
Then, everyone saw the corpse on the river surface being flung away, the dim yellow water churning, and a huge body formed from pale bones emerging.
