The wooden boat in front of us is over twenty meters long and is entirely black, the color of dead wood.
The bottom of the boat is thick and the sides are raised to prevent the Yellow Spring water from splashing into the cabin.
Although the Yellow Spring water should have little effect on the wooden boat made of dead wood, the people on board cannot withstand its corrosive effects.
"By the way, I used the leftover materials to make a few sets of deadwood armor. Although everyone is on the boat, theoretically the rising death aura in the river should be blocked by the wooden boat, but just in case, we should still wear the armor. In addition, it can also protect us from the Yellow Springs water splashing on us."
An Lan pointed to several suits of armor placed on one side of the wooden boat.
The armor looked very rough, but it was able to protect the whole body, even the head was completely covered, with only two holes left for the eyes.
Jerry and his friends' eyes lit up when they saw it.
"Old An is amazing! Although it's a bit ugly, this thing can save your life!" Gina happily picked up the armor and started putting it on.
The same applies to others.
After everyone put on the armor, they turned into several black wooden stakes.
Then, the Sage Qinglan controlled the gale, lifted the wooden boat, and floated it onto the Yellow Springs River.
Considering the river's rapid current and its corrosive properties, Anlan even crafted several giant ropes woven from dead tree branches to prevent the wooden boat from being swept away.
After the wooden boat landed on the river, it drifted with the swift current, remaining as steady as Mount Tai in the murky water.
Seeing this, everyone smiled.
"Old An is amazing!"
Jerry gave Anlan a thumbs up.
They couldn't have built such a sturdy and stable wooden boat in such a short time.
An Lan smiled, and then asked the Saint Qinglan to try to lift the wooden boat in the river again with the strong wind.
It took the Sage of Azure Mist several attempts before he succeeded.
After all, the storm corrodes the river water, and with the river water splashing around the wooden boat, it would take a good opportunity and a bit of luck to lift the boat up with the strong wind.
When the wooden boat returned to shore, An Lan immediately checked the areas that had been soaked by water.
An Lan breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the dead wooden boat could indeed withstand the Yellow Spring water.
He said, "We can cross the river now."
Saint Qinglan nodded and told everyone to board the wooden boat.
After everyone boarded the wooden boat, the Saint Qinglan used the storm to control the boat to glide along the shore and gently paddle towards the river.
As the Yellow Springs drew ever closer, Jerry and the others held their breath, not daring to utter a sound.
The next moment, the wooden boat entered the Yellow Springs water, first rocked violently, and then drifted with the river.
After a moment of silence on the wooden boat, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
An Lan laughed and said, "Alright, everyone grab your oars and let's row!"
On both sides of the wooden boat, there are wooden oar handles connecting to wooden oars outside the boat.
In such a swift river, without a wooden oar, one would drift with the current and have no chance of reaching the other side.
The group picked up wooden oars and began to row.
The Yellow Spring water was quite heavy, and even with Lu Ning's strength, he felt that paddling required some effort.
Lu Ning's physical strength is among the best in the group.
People like Gina, who are eighth-tier fire-type ability users, are not good at physical strength and have low overall strength. Their hands start to ache after paddling a few times.
She gasped for breath, saying incredulously, "What on earth is this river? If I were rowing a boat outside, I could row it all the way to the sky!"
An Lan said, "This water is definitely different from the water outside."
Gina was about to speak when she suddenly paused, a strange look on her face: "Hmm? Something feels off."
Everyone looked at Gina, somewhat confused.
An Lan asked, "What's wrong?"
Gina frowned: "I have a feeling like someone is pulling my oar?"
Everyone was taken aback. Just then, they saw Gina's oars move towards the side of the cabin.
Gina's expression changed slightly. She tried to grab the oar, but ended up crashing heavily into the side of the cabin along with the oar.
The powerful impact caused the wooden boat to jolt violently, almost capsizing.
This sudden change left everyone wide-eyed and somewhat astonished.
The Sage of Azure Mist immediately used the power of the storm to press down on the other side of the wooden boat, thus preventing it from capsizing.
Steve, who was next to Gina, immediately turned into metal, grabbed Gina's body as she was about to fall into the Yellow Springs with one hand, and tried to pull the wooden paddle back with the other.
As the wooden paddle was pulled out little by little, they saw a pair of pale, swollen hands gripping the other side of the paddle.
After the arm was pulled out, it revealed a male corpse with swollen skin all over.
The male corpse was different from the zombies in the wilderness; it was a normal human being, probably an ordinary person from Earth.
He was wearing soaking wet clothes, and his whole body was swollen from being soaked, so much so that his face was no longer recognizable.
The male corpse was pulling hard on the wooden oar. After being pulled out of the water, he used both hands to lunge towards the wooden boat with the help of the oar.
Gina screamed and conjured a fireball, which slammed heavily into the male corpse in mid-air.
Boom!!
The male corpse was blasted away by the fireball and landed in the Yellow Springs water in the distance, where it sank to the bottom.
The group exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of lingering fear in the other's eyes.
"...How could there be something like this in this water?"
"Really? Why hasn't the corpse decomposed?"
Even An Lan frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Suddenly, the Sage of Azure Mist saw Lu Ning standing by the wooden boat, looking down at the Yellow Springs.
Seeing Lu Ning's expression, Saint Qinglan frowned in confusion: "Lu Ning, what's wrong?"
