Qin Yu also felt that the road up the mountain was a little too peaceful.
Not only did there seem to be nothing in the water, but the strange mummy ferryman was just holding the boat quietly.
For a time, Qin Yu and all the female cultivators in Scorpio Palace all had some ideas.
Could it be that I am overthinking it?
After all, this ruins is essentially the ancestral land of an ancient orthodox sect.
Who would set up many weird and terrifying methods in their own ancestral land? Is it to guard against their own disciples? If it is to guard against outsiders, then the prohibition of the ancestral land itself is enough.
After all, the power of a sect's ancestral land is the most powerful trump card. If a foreign enemy can resist the power of the ancestral land and invade it, it must be an existence more powerful than the entire Taoist order. Facing such an opponent, the arrangement
No matter how fancy the methods are, it will only be in vain.
Just when everyone thought about this and relaxed a little, they saw a stone platform extending out by the river in front of them, which seemed to be another ferry.
The canoe slowly approached the ferry and stopped.
Mu Tiannu frowned: "Boatman, why don't you leave?"
The ferryman said slowly: "The first stop... is here. It's time to pay the fare."
"Fare?" Everyone was stunned.
The ferryman said slowly: "If you want to continue walking... you have to pay the ferry fare."
Qin Yu was speechless. This boatman was really cunning. He didn't say anything before boarding the boat, but half way through he said he would charge for the boat fare.
This ferry has no front or back, no way up, no way down, so if you don't take a boat, you may really have to swim back.
Mu Tianhui obviously thought so too. She frowned and snorted: "What do you want? Treasures? Divine weapons? Pills?"
The ferryman lifted his bamboo hat, revealing his dark features again.
He pointed at his face: "I don't want any of that. Look, what do I lack?"
Everyone was slightly shocked and became somewhat vigilant.
The ferryman's fingers fell on his empty eye sockets.
"Look...I have no eyes."
"Then the first stop... just close one eye."
"What?" Everyone was shocked. Mu Tiannu frowned and asked, "Isn't there anything else?"
The ferryman shook his head firmly: "I...just want my eyes."
A cold light flashed in Mu Tianhu's eyes. If her attack with the colorful Tianluo Ling had not been ineffective, she would have turned the mummy ferryman into ashes.
But at the moment, there is no trace, and the attack on the ferryman seems to be useless. Moreover, monks like Mu Tiannu, who have been practicing for many years and have explored countless ruins and forbidden Jedi areas, have some experience in this kind of situation.
She knew that even if she and others could fly to the sky and escape from the earth, crossing the void and traveling hundreds of millions of miles in a single thought, they would not be able to use these methods on the river. If they wanted to go up the mountain, the only thing they could use was this boat.
Just a broken ship.
So she pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the people behind her.
"Luoying."
When Yu Luoying heard this, she quickly said: "Yes, sister."
Then her eyes swept across everyone, and finally fell on a young female disciple: "You go."
Qin Yu, who was behind him, raised his eyebrows. He just noticed that Yu Luoying's eyes also swept across the three of them, but for some reason he didn't stop.
Logically speaking, for this kind of thing, shouldn't we first sacrifice ourselves and these three outsiders?
The female disciple's face froze, she still didn't know what the palace master meant.
In desperation, she had no choice but to step forward and said: "Then I will give you my eyes."
The ferryman's empty facial features twisted into a certain arc upon hearing this, as if it was a sinister smile. Then he suddenly reached out and dug out the female disciple's right eye.
The female disciple let out a low howl, covered her eyes, and took a few steps back.
Yu Luoying nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
As he said this, he threw out a bottle of elixir with a strange fragrance as compensation.
Anyway, for a god-level monk, even a drop of blood can lead to rebirth. An eyeball is nothing and can be easily restored.
But the painful moans of the female disciple not only did not decrease, but became louder and louder.
Yuluo Ying realized something was wrong, so she quickly stepped forward and pulled away the female disciple's palm.
Everyone's expressions changed when they looked at it.
The female disciple's eye sockets, whose eyes were gouged out, did not begin to recover. Instead, they were gradually covered by a layer of pitch black color, gradually becoming exactly the same as the ferryman's originally dark eye sockets.
"This is……"
Yu Luoying's face looked ugly, and Mu Tianhu also frowned.
The ferry fare is indeed not that simple.
It seems that the eyeballs he dug out will never recover.
On the other hand, the ferryman casually stuffed the eyeball into the socket of his right eye.
The blood-stained eyeballs kept turning in their sockets, looking at everyone with strange eyes.
"The boat fee... received... then... let's go!"
After he finished speaking, he took up the paddle again, and the canoe continued towards the top of the mountain at a slow speed.
But this time, no one felt relieved.
The road up the mountain is indeed not that simple.
Can they go up the mountain at the cost of an eyeball?
Sure enough, the canoe traveled thousands of miles, and another ferry appeared on the river ahead.
The small canoe slowly stopped aside, and the ferryman slowly said: "It's time... to collect the ferry fare again."
He pointed to his left eye socket
"This time...I want...the left eye."
Mu Tianhu's face also turned completely gloomy.
This time it’s the left eye, next time it’s the nose? When all the five senses are complete, what else do you want?
The shipping fee seems to be nothing, just the eyeballs and facial features. Even if it cannot be recovered, it is not a big problem for the god-level monks.
But if the distance is less than a thousand miles, the shipping fee will be charged.
And the height of Devil's Cauldron Mountain is more than tens of thousands of miles?
Even if all the people on the ship put together, can they afford the fare?
Not to mention that the Scorpio Palace is all female cultivators. As a female cultivator, it is impossible not to love beauty. Losing your eyes and facial features may be acceptable to others, but they will never accept it.
"Humph, you need the boat fare, right? Is this enough?"
She snorted coldly, and the colorful Tianluo Ling swept out again.
This time, she directly and unscrupulously activated the power of the root law in the artifact.
If she were in the outside world, she would not dare to let go like this, but on this Devil's Cauldron Mountain, there is power beyond the immortal realm. Even if it is suppressed by the law, it will not be her turn. She can use her full strength without any scruples.
.
She didn't believe that the power of the Law of Origin could not reach this mere mummy ferryman!
However, at the next moment, the colorful Tianluo Ling and her body froze in place.
At the same time, Qin Yu's pupils suddenly condensed.
Unknowingly, there was an extra person on their boat.
